Chapter 988: Internal Energy Domain
Scott believes that the sudden appearance of a light green glow around Lin Rui’s body is indicative of an energy force field. However, he questions how such a force field, composed entirely of energy, could possibly withstand the impact of solid matter.
Although Scott is curious, Lin Rui has no intention of explaining the nature of his internal energy to him, as he is unable to provide a clear explanation himself.
After being flung by the defense layer of Lin Rui’s internal energy, Darren Cross and his companions suddenly grew in size before crashing to the ground. After taking a moment to regain their balance, Darren Cross rose to his feet with a scowl on his face.
He had just received news that one of the two Antmans he had dispatched to confront Lin Rui and Bucky had gone missing, while the other was still battling Bucky.
As he glared at Lin Rui and Scott, Darren Cross couldn’t fathom why someone like Lin Rui, with his bizarre abilities, had appeared on the scene. As far as he knew, Professor Pym only had Scott as his assistant, who was essentially useless.
However, Lin Rui and Bucky, who were fighting fiercely with another opponent, were clearly powerful individuals, and Darren Cross couldn’t understand why they were siding with Professor Pym.
“Who are you?! Why did you attack us?” Darren Cross demanded, still reeling from the fact that Lin Rui had effortlessly dispatched one of his Antmans and sent him flying with a single blow.
If Lin Rui wasn’t affiliated with Scott and had just intruded to interfere with his plans, then Darren Cross might have had a chance to persuade him to leave by other means. After all, all he wanted was to gain control over the Antman technology.
“Me? If you want to know who I am, you’re not qualified yet. As for why I attacked you, it’s just…to see if it would make you unhappy,” Lin Rui replied nonchalantly, his lips curling into a slight smirk.
As Lin Rui had anticipated, the strength of Antman and his companions was no match for his own. Even the new Antman suits developed by Darren Cross were no match for the advanced Iron Man suits developed by Tony Stark.
Furthermore, Lin Rui’s Insight Technique was capable of detecting their positions with ease, even when they were in miniature form.
Darren Cross’s face turned crimson with rage at Lin Rui’s words. He had never been spoken to in such a disrespectful manner before, especially when he was equipped with what he believed to be the most powerful battle suit in existence.
“Then you will die with him!” Darren Cross bellowed in fury, activating the spider-claw-like weapon on his back and firing laser beams at Lin Rui and Scott.
Buzz!
As soon as Darren Cross’s laser beam shot out, Scott quickly shrank down to avoid it. While Scott didn’t know Lin Rui very well, he had faith in his abilities and didn’t doubt that he could handle himself. Moreover, the laser attack had given Scott enough time to call in his three flying ant teams, which had arrived just in time for him to make his escape.
Brush!
As expected, when Scott shrank to avoid the laser attack, Lin Rui vanished like a black shadow. Even with the sudden appearance of an Antman team on Darren Cross’s side, Lin Rui felt no pressure.
Antman’s low combat effectiveness, coupled with Lin Rui’s own formidable strength, made the situation seem almost trivial in comparison to the many dangerous incidents he had faced before.
“Be careful!” Darren Cross shouted a warning to his team as Lin Rui moved with lightning speed, his movements almost too fast to follow. Despite the speed and intensity of his attacks, however, Lin Rui remained focused and in control, his years of experience in dealing with dangerous situations standing him in good stead.
Boom!
As soon as Darren Cross spoke, Lin Rui’s figure materialized beside him, launching a swift kick that connected solidly with his chest. Caught off guard and with no time to shrink, Darren Cross was sent flying by the force of the blow, emitting laser beams all the while. As he flew, he rapidly began to shrink down to a tiny size, his Antman suit failing him in the face of Lin Rui’s overwhelming power.
Buzz Buzz!
As Darren Cross rapidly shrank in size, several other Antmen also quickly followed suit, leaving Lin Rui standing alone in the empty space. Undaunted, he simply sneered at the display of shrinking technology.
“Hmph! Do you think this makes you invisible? I can still see you,” Lin Rui said with a hint of contempt in his voice, his eyes narrowed in concentration.
Boom!
The next moment, a pale green light emanated from his body as Lin Rui stood there, swelling in intensity before spreading rapidly to fill the dark alley. Ever since witnessing Iceman Robert’s formidable Absolute Frozen Domain, Lin Rui had been consumed with the idea of creating his own unique domain.
Through tireless practice and honing his internal energy control, he finally achieved the ability to release his internal energy in the form of a domain.
“After unleashing this new internal energy field, are you able to keep jumping?” Lin Rui’s eyes widened as he looked in a particular direction and posed the question.
Lin Rui gazed in the direction he was looking at and saw Darren Cross and several other Antman attempting to flap their wings within the light blue internal energy. They appeared to be trapped within a peculiar force field created by Lin Rui’s internal energy, struggling to move.
Scott, who was also enveloped within Lin Rui’s internal energy field, lay on his shoulder in a daze, observing the unique energy surrounding him.
Ignoring the horrified expressions on Scott on his shoulders and Darren Cross, who was shrouded in internal energy and was struggling to move, Lin Rui strode confidently towards Darren Cross.
“Damn it!!” As Lin Rui closed in, Darren Cross growled in frustration and pressed the button on his suit to enlarge himself.
Buzz~
“You think you can still grow bigger? Now you have to ask for my permission!” Lin Rui’s eyes flickered as he sensed the energy shift in Darren Cross, causing the entire internal energy field to freeze.
Boom!
Subsequently, the energy in the entire internal energy field is compressed and converged towards Darren Cross. Lin Rui is actually planning to use his internal energy to suppress Darren Cross’s growth.
Antman’s ability to shrink and grow in size is based on the use of Pym Particles, which can manipulate the distance between atoms, resulting in a release of massive energy.
However, despite its incredible capabilities, the technology still adheres to certain energy principles. In this case, Lin Rui was using his own internal energy to counteract and suppress the changes brought on by Darren Cross’s use of the Pym Particles.
Buzz Buzz!
As the internal energy continued to exert pressure on him, Darren Cross struggled to enlarge himself, the sound of strain emanating from his Antman suit. If this confrontation were to persist, there was a high likelihood that Darren Cross could be pulled to his death due to the effects of the Pym Particles.
