Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 215 Devil May Cry ends
"boom--"

There was a loud bang.

The hundred-meter-tall 'Savior Statue' was blasted back by a single palm strike from the blue ghost hand conjured by Nero, who then violently crushed its head with a 'head pat,' causing it to collapse completely.

Luca, who was slowly landing in mid-air after retracting his wings, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

'Don't let the kid's slow mind fool you, he's got real brute strength.'

In fact, nearly two hours had passed since the savior appeared.

Although Luca appeared in demon form, they had met before.

Furthermore, the fact that his armor was made using only demons and not human souls is why Dante didn't shoot him as soon as he showed his face.

Then Dante swept through the enemy lines, while Luca slacked off, destroying the Gates of Hell, retrieving Yamato, rescuing Nero, and then Dante unleashed his full power to destroy the Savior and save Fortuna.

Everything happened so naturally.

After Nero, who had crushed the savior, fell from the sky, this kid actually ignored everyone else and went straight to Kirie, whose eyes were full of admiration.

Seeing this, Luca nudged Credo beside him with a teasing elbow and asked with a smile.

"Hey~ I bet it won't be long before you have another little nephew~"

Upon hearing this, Credo, who was standing to the side and was Kirie's older brother, immediately turned pale.

However, considering that Luca had just saved his life, Credo could only let out a slightly annoyed snort and continue to stare intently at Nero, who was holding his sister in the distance, with his bloodshot eyes.

one year later.

With the destruction of the cult, Foduna gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Although people were initially confused because they had lost their faith, life had to go on.

This once very isolated island city has begun to gradually connect with the outside world, and everything is developing in a positive direction.

As for Luca himself, aside from occasionally going out with Nero to hunt demons and replenish his material library, he devoted most of his time to his weapon research.

There was a little incident in between.

Nicole, the biological daughter of Luca's adoptive father Agnas and also Luca's stepsister, somehow heard the news of the cult's destruction and came to find them alone.

At first, Nero thought that Nico was going to stage some kind of 'revenge for her father' drama, and he was very wary of her.

However, since she was Luca's sister, she brought Nicole to meet Luca, who was busy in the laboratory.

To everyone's surprise, Nicole didn't care about her father's death at all. Instead, her eyes lit up when she saw Luca's research project, and she happily joined in.

The two like-minded, mad scientists, brother and sister, completely forgot about Nero and buried themselves in the laboratory day and night, starting all sorts of bizarre research projects.

Nero was happy with this arrangement and continued to enjoy his time alone with Kyrie.

until someday.

A hooded man with unsteady steps entered the experimental workshop and, without any preamble, immediately put on his 'signature act'.

With the Yama Blade he retrieved from the severed hand, he cleaved through space and vanished from everyone's sight.

"Ahhh—my hand!"

Seeing Nero lying on the ground clutching his arm and groaning in pain, Luca, who had run out of the laboratory, was stunned for a moment, then quickly called Nico and Kirie to bandage him.

Luca rushed back into the laboratory, retrieved a large, dusty box, took out its contents, and threw it in front of Nero.

"Stop howling, take this with you. Luckily I was prepared."

I saw the pure white mechanical arm crash to the ground with a 'clang'.

Not to mention Kyrie and Nero, who were anxiously bandaging Nero, even Nero, whose face was contorted in pain, suddenly stopped crying out and stood there dumbfounded. "Ahem, well, I was thinking of holding back something for you."

"No. I mean this arm is called Sweet Captive, and it has some healing abilities. You can just wear it."

After that, Nero wanted to find the strange man who had cut off his arm, but he had no clue whatsoever. He could only continue to recover from his injury in despair. Every day, he was also forced to test various new mechanical arms by Luca and Nico, two mad scientists who were always interested in testing them.

It wasn't until a young man who called himself V came to their door that everyone learned the cause of the incident.

The one who stole the Yamato was a demon king named Euryssen, who planned to open the gates of hell to slaughter humans to replenish the Demon Tree's nutrients, and ultimately rely on devouring the Demon Tree's fruit to gain powerful strength and destroy the world.

Furthermore, V emphasized that he had already hired Dante to destroy the Demon Tree and eliminate the Demon King, but because he was worried that Dante would not be able to accomplish this task, he approached Nero to add an extra layer of insurance to the plan.

The four of them then embarked on a journey to destroy the Demon Tree.

However, before leaving, Luca mysteriously returned to the laboratory, presumably to retrieve something.

On a throne woven from the roots of a demon tree, the towering demon lord could easily crush Dante with a mere wave of his hand, without even needing to rise.

By the time Nero and his party arrived, Dante had already been slammed to the ground by the opponent's palm.

Upon seeing this, Nero, without saying a word, grabbed his Crimson Queen Greatsword and charged forward, not even giving Lucado a chance to say a few words.

"Oh well, never mind."

He glanced at Nero, who had been slapped back, and then at Dante, who was struggling to get up at his feet.

Luca shook his head helplessly and whispered to the two of them.

"Gentlemen, please try to buy me some time."

Upon hearing this, both Dante and Nero looked at Luca with puzzled expressions.

'We two Spartan-blooded witchers are helpless against each other, so what can you, an ordinary human, do by buying time?'

In fact, Dante was already preparing to activate his Devil Trigger at this point, using his life to buy time for the others to escape.

I never expected that this kid, who was so timid when we met last time, would actually say such big things now.

Seeing the two men's puzzled expressions, Luca didn't offer any further explanation. Instead, he pulled out a stylish cowboy hat from his pocket and put it on his head.

The moment the cowboy hat was pulled down, light swirled, and a gold and red scarf, made entirely of energy, quickly wrapped around Luca's neck.

Luca then ignored the two of them, simply holding down the brim of his hat with one hand.

In an instant, Luca's aura suddenly surged.

The energy scarf moved automatically without wind, and countless red light spots surged and rose around Luca.

A large number of red crystals formed from demon blood appeared out of thin air around Luca and quickly rose into the air, where they gathered and condensed into larger red spirit stones.

As Luca's aura seemed to rise endlessly, the crystals condensing in the air also expanded rapidly.

Without further hesitation, Dante and his companion exchanged a glance and then rushed toward the Demon King on the throne of the Demon Tree.

Until
"That's already the limit."

Luca looked up at the giant red meteorite gathering in the sky and stopped charging up.

Between waving hands.

A meteorite struck.

Shaking, loud noise, red light, shockwave.

Everything was swallowed up.
