Chapter 20: Hold on, there's always a way!
From the high vantage point, Namo once again charged towards Yelena and her companions like a tiger among sheep!
Although it's a circular corridor, the distance is almost like a straight line, leaving nowhere to hide.
Just as he lunged forward, a crystal-clear wall suddenly appeared in front of him, but he did not slow down at all, and instead pushed the wall along with him as he crashed into the two girls.
"I'll go help!" Kamala was about to step forward when Hanlu stopped her.
"No! Kamala, hold your ground and hold the gate!"
"Shang-Chi, Red Guards, I'll send you up there and smash his head in!"
After landing on the ground, Hanlu no longer needed to support his own weight, and since the door was already destroyed, he used a little of his strength to instantly smash the heads of the zombies surging from the outside!
But soon, even more fish-man zombies rushed up one after another.
It was during this brief lull that he was finally able to spare some attention and forcefully "throw" Shang-Chi and the Red Guards, who were still waiting in place, toward Namor.
The two figures rolled on the ground to dissipate the force, while Namo, who was pushing the crystal wall toward the girls, turned around, his scarlet eyes flashing with greed as he grinned at the two "fresh pieces of flesh" in front of him.
"Shit! This stuff is disgusting!"
The Red Guards picked up the massive alloy hammers they had captured during this period and smashed them down on Namor without saying a word.
The deep-sea emperor simply stretched out one hand and easily grasped the giant hammer.
As he increased the pressure with his hand, the sturdy alloy hammer began to shatter little by little, and dust fell down.
This scene gave Hanlu a fleeting, dreamlike feeling of returning to the past—
This power is exactly the same as that of a certain green-skinned monster from my memory.
Fortunately, there's still Shangqi.
Just as Namor was about to grab the Red Guard with his other large hand, all ten rings in his hand shot out!
The crystal-clear bracelets bombarded Namo like cannonballs, constantly repelling the monster.
Every time Namo tried to regain his footing, the next bracelet would strike his relatively vulnerable joint with pinpoint accuracy.
Even so, all they could do was keep repelling the opponent.
Shang-Chi continuously gathered the rebounding bracelet, recharged it, and flung it out again, much like a slow but relentless machine gun—
It is durable, but lacks the power to deliver a fatal blow.
"Shang Qi! Use your 'Qi'!" Han Lu shouted urgently.
"What 'qi'? I don't know!" Shang-Chi shouted back while dodging.
Han Lu really wanted to slap his forehead—he had forgotten that Shang Qi was at most an "apprentice version" now, having just mastered the basic usage of the ten rings, and those superhuman powers might only exist in the exploratory stage that he himself was unaware of.
He wanted to say something more, but suddenly he was slammed to the ground by a tremendous force.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone—at this moment, Hanlu was almost single-handedly bearing the pressure of the entire main battlefield.
The rumbling sound from above was uncontrollable, and the astonishing impact spread along the ceiling, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.
Everyone looked up and saw two golden figures, one fat and one thin, suddenly falling from the spacious ruins. They crashed to the ground like meteors, their target Hanlu, who was already on the verge of collapse!
Fortunately, Kamala reacted quickly and erected another crystal wall, which stood in front of Hanlu like a sturdy tortoise shell.
The night, which should have symbolized peace, shone on everyone's faces, but no one could smile.
At that moment, a dazzling golden light, as bright as the sun, suddenly burst through the ceiling and surged into the hall—it was Captain Marvel!
He radiated a dazzling golden light, scanning the entire arena as if selecting prey, not even taking Namor, who was being repeatedly repelled, seriously.
Soon, his gaze settled on the ground—on Hanlu, who was struggling to get up, buried under countless crystal fragments.
"roar--!"
Hanlu looked at the guy rushing towards her impatiently, her mental energy nearly exhausted. She couldn't help but curse inwardly: Damn it, Icarus! Can't you be a little more reliable!
"Kamara! From now on, it's all up to you." His voice carried a heavy, farewell tone.
Before the Muslim girl, who had been standing against the wall, could react, she suddenly felt the crystal wall behind her become exceptionally fragile.
The impact came with exponentially increased force, almost causing her to lose her grip!
"Friday!" Hanlu roared.
"receive."
A pure mechanical sound flashed by, and red and blue armor slashed through the light-illuminating top of her head as a machine gun, fully charged, slammed directly into Captain Marvel.
But this damage was nothing more than a tickle to him. However, when he turned around to try to fight back, his whole body was suddenly bound by a force—it was Hanlu!
He no longer cared about the cost; having completely let go, he gripped Captain Marvel's limbs tightly with his full-power mental strength!
Even if you don't have the strength to grab the other person's whole body, you should at least restrain him and prevent that terrifying cosmic energy from flying around.
Friday in the sky, piloting the Mark 50 armor, didn't continue the pursuit but flew directly to the gate: "Hello, Kamala, Lily said to send me to help you."
"Oh, that's great!"
Kamala instantly perked up.
At times like these, any support is like a shot in the arm, helping her to continue fighting against the relentless pressure.
What she fears most is the feeling of powerlessness when she tries her best but gets nothing in return.
Hanlu's hands flew, attempting to disrupt Captain Marvel's blood vessels, meridians, and bones, and even trying to grasp that ethereal cosmic energy.
No matter how many tricks he made, the terrifying enemy in front of him continued to slowly approach at an exponential rate. The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and he could even see the red pupils of the other party rolling its eyes.
"Damn it, anyone can help at a time like this! Save them!"
He glanced around during the brief opening—Red Guards were wielding their giant hammers, relentlessly bombarding Namor as he tried to pounce.
Shang Qi next to him, like a marksman, kept throwing out ten-ring shots to interfere;
Katie and Yelena on the rear also unleashed their full firepower, hurling all their bullets and arrows at the enemy.
But these purely physical damages are nothing to Namor, the "little Hulk".
Keep in mind that, in terms of pure physical strength alone, he could even overwhelm Captain Marvel in her current state!
Hanlu slowly backed away, trying to create distance, but was quickly forced into a corner.
Just then, his foot seemed to step on something hard.
Looking down, they saw the two corpses that had fallen from the sky earlier.
Damn it, let's take a gamble!
He used all his remaining mental energy to pour it into the two corpses, trying to quickly decompose and reconstruct them.
But Captain Marvel, who had already rushed in front of him, was demonstrating through her actions—
time is limited.
"Hey! You jerk, we're not done yet!"
At that moment, a sound as beautiful as heavenly music rang out.
Hanlu couldn't help but look up, and saw the figure in the blue uniform, carrying a shield, leaping down from the sky just as he remembered!
Following closely behind were Moonlight Blade, draped in a white cloak, and Death Merchant, wearing a masked face, both wielding knives in both hands, appearing as if divine warriors had descended from the heavens!
