NOVEL WEB Chapter 75: Chapter 75
"The camera's never off, and not just the one on my armor, Kurohane. All the cameras in Stark Tower are live. I guarantee that for the next few years, the entire world will be talking about this Battle of New York!!!"
Tony Stark joked with Kurohane, his voice imbued with a manic glee amidst the chaos, as he manipulated his armor to approach the rapidly accelerating nuclear bomb. After a quick scan, Tony swiftly confirmed the bomb's nature. This wasn't a tactical device, but a genuine strategic nuclear warhead. If it detonated beneath Stark Tower, not a single soul in all of New York would survive!
"Kurohane, the nuclear bomb is almost at New York City, are you ready!?"
"I see you."
Kurohane's voice came through the radio, accompanied by the fierce roar of wind. Tony looked up, his eyes glued to the monitor in his helmet, seeing Kurohane's figure perfectly clear on camera!
Kurohane stood suspended in the air, two massive, pristine white light wings spread out behind him, forming a perfect contrast with his black combat attire. He held a golden light shield in his left hand and a hiltless white light sword in his right. His face was devoid of expression, like a living divine statue, hovering beneath the portal, witnessing the nuclear bomb that could devastate New York at any moment.
Tony: What the hell? What exactly is Kurohane's background? Could he really be a Seraphim sent by God?! I have to get myself a set of Angel armor in the future too, this look is absolutely badass!
Kurohane didn't know at this moment that his spontaneous act of showing off had profoundly influenced Tony's aesthetic sense, which might lead to the future abandonment of Iron Man's gold and red color scheme, causing all his armors to be stark white, completely out of character for Tony the playboy!
"Tony, fall back."
Kurohane gave the instruction over the radio, watching Tony retreat far away. He casually fired two palm repulsors, destroying two small Chitauri spaceships that dared to approach, and then began to focus on being his own cameraman. This scene had never been witnessed before!
Kurohane looked at the rapidly flying nuclear bomb in front of him and blocked the space between the nuclear bomb and Stark Tower. His mental energy was almost entirely drained in an instant, and over a dozen Shields of the Seraphim appeared in the nuclear bomb's flight path. These golden shields rapidly expanded, forming an arc-shaped trajectory that redirected the nuclear bomb's flight!
The nuclear bomb, which had been flying horizontally, was guided upwards, hurtling towards the spatial portal. Three seconds later, a massive fireball erupted from the portal, like a sun falling from the sky!
At the same time, all the Chitauri soldiers and Iron Whales flying in the air seemed to lose power, falling from the sky like rain, causing countless explosions, with sounds and fire soaring into the heavens!
At this moment, New York truly looked like the end of the world had arrived, and Kurohane stood there, like a valiant Angel in the midst of Hell, trying to save the souls sinking into Hell with his own power! And all of this was recorded by our best photographer, Guru Tony, on his camera!
I must say, photographers with the name 'Guru' were generally quite skilled. Tony couldn't have imagined that with the photos he took today, he would win this year's Best Photographer award! Although Tony didn't get to accept it, that didn't stop the judging committee from dutifully delivering the prize money and trophy to his house.
"System, use [Character Experience Card: Huo Wa]."
His previously drained mental energy was replenished thanks to the use of the character experience card. Because it was equivalent to another person appearing in Kurohane's body, refreshing his state!
Kurohane forcibly inhaled upwards towards the sky, and whether it was the fireball from the portal or the fires generated by the explosions in New York City, all experienced an invisible gravitational pull. They continuously swirled in the air, transforming into a fiery tornado that rushed towards Kurohane's mouth.
Thirty seconds later, all the flames were sucked into Kurohane's belly. The high temperature generated by the flames piercing through the air distorted the air around Kurohane. At this moment, in Guru Tony's lens, Kurohane's figure became somewhat illusory and unreal. Coupled with the faint white light emanating from the two wings behind him, his face couldn't be captured at all.
If only Tony could have filmed Kurohane's face, he would have burst out laughing!
The nuclear bomb explosion and all the fires across New York had surpassed the limits of the Huo Wa character card. Moreover, it contained strong nuclear radiation and a strange, incompletely burned smell. This made Kurohane's face flush, and his stomach felt like he had eaten too many sweet potatoes and potatoes.
A torrent of heat surged in his stomach. If he didn't immediately spit out this massive fireball, it could only be released from the lower back of his body, and the thrust generated would be enough to turn Kurohane into a human rocket, breaking gravity and flying into space!
So this energy couldn't come out the bottom, it could only be spewed from his mouth. Kurohane desperately needed something to catch that "tempo." He looked up and saw the portal still open.
Kurohane: (faintly smiling). Here's where it spits!!!
"Ptooey—!"
Kurohane's spitting sound was very soft, but everyone on the radio heard it. Under the strange gazes of the Avengers members, a massive fireball surged towards the portal. Its diameter was almost exactly the same as the portal, and perhaps even slightly thicker. However, it still didn't waste an ounce of heat, bursting through the center of the portal!
[Killed Chitauri War Beast +1, Justice Value +50] [Killed Chitauri War Mothership +1, Justice Value +100]
After expelling all the flames, Kurohane let out a satisfied burp. Like a mischievous dragon that couldn't control its own fire, he exhaled a small, smoky fireball. This Battle of New York was great, he gained 300 Justice Value. The only downside was the lack of a pop-up reward when Loki was captured. However, the Asgard invitation letter Thor carried was already worth its weight. He could just trick Odin a little, which was far more reliable than drawing rewards himself!
It was cool, but Kurohane just felt his throat was about to burn. His mouth was dry and he desperately needed a drink to moisten his throat. His ethereal wings flapped behind him, and he slowly flew to the side of the Cosmic Cube.
He pulled the Mind Stone from his Space Ring and plunged it in. The energies from the two Infinity Stones collided, causing a Havok, but it was blocked by the golden light shield in Kurohane's hand. Then he threw the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Stone back into the Space Ring. These two good items were still useful!
"Coulson! This matter is settled here, let S.H.I.E.L.D. come clean it up!" Kurohane shouted into the radio, his tone firm and final, as if he had just completed a routine chore.
