Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 188 Palu Ball (Second Update)

The rapid flashing of the orange light made Luca's gaze instantly fix on the lewd figure on the screen.

At this moment, the naked guy was crouching down, using the [Boxer] mech's massive metal feet as cover, like an albino mouse that had sneaked out of the laboratory, stealthily moving along the shadows of the ground.

Clearly, they were still clinging to a sliver of hope, intending to get away from this suddenly intruding steel behemoth.

He certainly didn't expect that the modification style of [Boxer] would continue the Gundam series.

So it's not just the main cameras on the head and eyes; the entire [boxer] body is equipped with more than thirty sensors at various angles.

Even though Spotted Man was trying to sneak away from the [Boxer's] heel, he still couldn't escape the mech's line of sight.

"Ha! Trying to run away?"

Luca grinned, instantly feeling much better.

Having caught this guy, even if it doesn't resolve the current internal strife, at least we can take everyone out of the space.

'But why didn't this guy use his teleportation ability to leave quickly?'

Luca glanced at the spotted man's pale skin, devoid of any speckles, in the surveillance footage, and then at the enormous white space.

'Could this guy be using all his abilities to maintain this space?'

However, despite this speculation, Luca himself was unsure whether controlling [Boxer] to flip over and grab the Spotted Man would allow the guy to escape.

After all, he couldn't fathom the thinking of a madman.

What if this guy could actually run away at any time and is just simply enjoying the thrill of being cautious and acting like a thief?

At the same time, Tony's voice came through the communication channel, not just his voice, but also his heavy breathing and the clanging of metal.

"Luca! I can't hold them off any longer! Hulk's power has increased again! Venom has also been split apart! Captain America and Natasha are fighting like true enemies!"

"Wow, why is Spider Sister usually so strong?!"

The background sounds are Hulk's earth-shattering roar and the muffled thuds of metal clashing.

Clearly, even though Tony's Veronica suit is much larger than the original, it still faces immense pressure when facing a fully berserk Hulk.

Not to mention the other people were also in a state of chaos.

And the auxiliary drone interference is somewhat ineffective in this level of chaos.

Fortunately, the two Haro mechs that were a step behind him had already arrived and shared some of the firepower.

Otherwise, Tony might have called for help even earlier.

"Hold on for five more seconds! I've caught a big fish!"

Luca responded quickly, his sharp eyes fixed on the spotted man who was completely unaware of the [boxer's] shadow.

'Forget it, let's use the old method!'

"What big fish? Speak like a human being!"

While forcibly shaking off Hulk and maneuvering at high speed above the floating island, narrowly dodging a jet-black spear of venom that shot from the ruins below, Tony urgently asked a question.

But Luca didn't have time to explain to him at that moment.

First, he activated the muscle enhancement of the [Tuxedo] and the third level of 'leg strength enhancement', then calmed his breathing slightly.

Then he slammed his palm down on the button to open the mech's hatch.

Before the front hatch could fully open, Luca shot out a grappling hook from his right elbow and secured it to the side of the hatch. The hook then quickly retracted, and Luca's figure darted out of the cockpit in a flash.

Passing through the half-open hatch, his body traced a semi-circle in the air, quickly exiting the hatch from the front and arriving at the back of the mech.

His gaze locked onto the spotted man who looked up in alarm at the slight noise, and his left hand quickly pressed against the [soccer belt] at his waist.

The next moment, an inflatable soccer ball appeared out of thin air, and Luca, still in mid-air, unleashed a powerful volley. The entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, giving the spotted man no chance to react at all, as the 'soccer ball beam' crackling with rainbow lightning slammed into his face.

In an instant, the airflow exploded, and sparks flew everywhere.

The colorful soccer ball, along with the spotted man, spun through the air for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop after blasting away a large amount of building rubble.

Seeing this, Luca, who was in mid-air, quickly retracted the grappling hook that had been shot out from his elbow and landed steadily on the knee joint of the [Boxer] mech.

"It's done!"

As soon as Luca finished speaking, the pale space began to tremble violently.

The entire world seemed about to collapse.

Luca immediately recalled the scene from the last time he knocked the spotted man unconscious, after which a whole bunch of random things suddenly appeared.

"Kid, what have you done? This space seems to be about to collapse!"

Tony asked nervously through the earpiece, but Luca simply replied calmly.

"I caught the spotted man, now we just need to wait to get out!"

After saying that, Luca did not immediately return to the cockpit. Instead, he leaped forward and rushed towards the unconscious Spotted Man.

At the same time, he reached into his waist and pulled out a pre-prepared all-purpose capsule, then opened it.

"Bang~"

There was an explosion.

From within the smoke, a pale blue sphere, roughly the size of a fist and adorned with gold lines, appeared in Luca's hand.

[Palu Ball] (Chapter 69)
Luca had previously planned to use the item on the spotted man.

Actually, Luca synthesized this thing a long time ago, mainly because the materials required for it are indeed simple.

Previously, I randomly opened 'spatial energy crystals' thinking they would be difficult to process. One day, I had a sudden inspiration and used a [dehydration gun] to randomly turn an object into an energy cube and put it into the synthesis array. Surprisingly, it was immediately approved by the cheat code.

However, although they had synthesized it early on, they had not had the opportunity to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.'s prison, so they temporarily shelved their previous plans.

But now, Luca believes, is the perfect time to capture the Spotted Man.

Raising the [Palu Ball] in his hand and aiming it at the unconscious spotted man in front of him, a circle of lines, like a scale, instantly appeared in front of Luca, framing the spotted man.

The upper right corner of this scale clearly displays the number '13%'.

'Such a low probability? As expected, this blue Palu Ball is still too low-level!'

Yes, this scale and '13%' represent the success rate of [Palu Ball] catching Palu.

The surrounding space was still violently shaking. Seeing this, Luca gritted his teeth and pulled out an ordinary tactical dagger.

'13% is absolutely not enough; the injury must not be severe enough! Let's see how many cuts you can withstand!'

"Pfft~" The knife fell down.

The spotted man, who was in a coma, twitched, but did not wake up.

The display on the scale has changed from '13%' to '18%'.

'Okay! But we need to speed things up!'

"Puff~ Puff~ Puff~ Puff~ Puff~"

‘21%、26%、30%、38%、52%52%、52%！’
