2198 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 39
There was a strange ‘coordination’ between Luke and Master Wayne.
After Luke called him over, they didn’t exchange any words about splitting the work, but tacitly took care of one of Steppenwolf’s arms each as they continued stomping wildly.
After just a few stomps, these two experts actually found a rhythm.
With the work now distributed, their attacks consumed even less time. Furthermore, they gripped each other’s arm to borrow strength, which made stomping a piece of cake.!!
As a result, Arthur didn’t have a chance to do anything at all. He could only yell in frustration as he repeatedly stabbed Steppenwolf’s waist and thighs in frustration.
The battle goddess was depressed.
It was only after she cut off Steppenwolf’s calves that she realized that she had completely lost her spot. She could only watch helplessly.
The scene in front of her was like three street hoodlums beating up an idiot boss.
Bored, she raised her sword and shield and stood guard for a moment, but finally couldn’t take it anymore.
Crouching down next to the pit, she shouted at the three men who had been busy for almost a minute, “Hey, let me kill him! If you keep beating him up, he won’t even have his head left.”
Two of the three men stopped and looked up.
Luke was the only one who didn’t stop stepping on Steppenwolf’s squashed head. “Just cut it off. This guy’s head is really hard. He won’t die so easily.”
Diana rolled her eyes. “Are you trying to crush his head into cheese?”
That being said, she had already jumped down and stood in the spot vacated by Master Wayne, and gestured at Luke.
After Luke took two steps back, the divine longsword slashed at Steppenwolf’s neck.
Hm… that should be where the neck was, right? She wasn’t sure.
Luke and Master Wayne had stomped so hard that the pit was almost ten meters deep. Diana felt that Steppenwolf’s head and neck were about to become one.
Steppenwolf, who looked like he was about to die, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the divine longsword in midswing. He roared indistinctly, “I’m going to become a new god. I can’t die!”
With a faint creak, the longsword started to break through his metal glove.
Steppenwolf, on the other hand, showed his tenacious side as a boss and refused to let go.
Luke, who had given up on his own plan in order to let the battle goddess get her revenge, had an idea, and quietly moved behind Diana. “What? You still want to be saved?”
Everybody was stumped at his words.
Then… Puchi!
Luke drew back his hand and said calmly, “It seems you no longer need it.”
Everybody: “…”
Just now, Luke had suddenly pressed down on the hilt of the longsword with his hand and stomped on Steppenwolf’s right hand.
Steppenwolf, who was putting up a final struggle, watched as the longsword suddenly sped up and cut through his neck like a guillotine, cutting off his entire head.
He died with his eyes wide open.
Luke looked at the kill notification in the system in satisfaction. He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when Barry appeared next to them. “Victor is in trouble. He can’t separate the Mother Boxes on his own.”
As he spoke, he looked at the battle goddess.
Separating the Mother Boxes required tremendous strength and a strong enough physique. Otherwise, the energy that would leak from the process could easily blow up the people nearby.
Barry felt that Diana met the ‘strong and tough’ requirement.
Luke grabbed him. “Take me there.”
Barry had become used to following Luke’s instructions for the past two days. Before he knew it, his body obediently moved.
Swoosh!
They appeared next to Victor.
Hearing the movement, Victor said quickly without looking back, “The energy cycle will collapse in 17 seconds, and someone will have to help me separate the boxes then.”
Luke stood opposite him and flexed his hands. “Synchronize the data and give me a simulation of the separation process.”
Victor immediately did as he was told, but still looked at him worriedly. “Are you sure you will be able to withstand the energy leak from the Mother Boxes?”
Looking at the movements of the person in the simulation on the virtual screen, Luke cracked his neck. “It’s not a big problem as long as I can’t die.”
Recalling the white light which Luke had used to rapidly heal Barry’s wound, Victor got it. “Okay. As for the power… Your armor should be able to take it, right?”
Luke said, “It should be as strong as Diana’s.”
“Should?” Victor was skeptical, but there was no time to waste. “Alright, be careful. I’ll count to three before I say go. At that time, do your best.”
“Okay,” Luke replied simply. There was now only around five seconds left.
Victor lowered his head again and focused on the Mother Boxes in front of him. “3, 2, 1, go!”
Luke’s hands stabbed into the white light like lightning, and the three Mother Boxes suddenly separated from each other.
However, the three boxes were still connected in a row with extremely strong energy beams.
That was the problem that Luke needed to solve.
Without any hesitation, he planted his feet firmly and placed his hands on the boxes on each side of him.
A huge amount of energy entered his body, and Luke savored the aftertaste. Hm, it tasted a little like wheat with a light floral hint.
The energy from the Mother Boxes tasted alright, but the problem was that there was a lot of resistance between the boxes.
Even if he was doing his best as a human hydraulic machine, the distance between the three boxes didn’t increase much, to say nothing of them separating altogether.
An anxious expression appeared on Victor’s face. “We have to hurry. They’ll recover and fuse back together in ten seconds at most.”
What he didn’t say was that after the Mother Boxes fused back together, they might be able to transform Earth even more quickly.
Luke didn’t rush. Thinking quickly, he felt that he could try using Annihilation energy.
After all, the Annihilation energy’s strongest attributes were to annihilate and block.
When villains used magic or other types of energy to regenerate after that, any injuries they sustained in the aftermath wouldn’t heal for a short period of time.
Perhaps this also applied to these Mother Boxes that were full of life energy?
Thinking that, two transparent Annihilation blades shot out of Luke’s hands.
The Annihilation blades, which had always been indestructible, cut the white energy beams between the three boxes like an ordinary blade cutting through thick leather.
Although they could be cut, it was a very taxing effort.
