Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 229 Demon Armament
Upon hearing Luca's voice on the communication channel, Green Bull instinctively shrank back.

However, seeing his captain already charging out with his shield raised, Green Bull quickly followed with his giant axe in hand.

However, even faster than the Green Bull was the sudden burst of machine gun fire beside him.

"Da da da da——"

Thresh, whose gun barrel was already preheated, pulled the trigger the instant Dunshan took a step forward.

A torrent of fire immediately shot out from the rapidly spinning gun barrel.

However, the Gatling gun that roared was not firing ordinary bullets. If someone could create a static force field around them, they would clearly see that what was being fired from the muzzle were actually translucent red fragments, like crystals.

As these fragments rained down into the bodies of the surrounding demons, the crystal fragments, already extremely unstable due to high-speed friction with the air, instantly burst forth with a dazzling red light.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

The sounds of explosions over the years, even the firing of machine guns and Thresh's maniacal laughter, were all suppressed.

However, not all demons are directly reaped by this attack, which resembles the scythe of death.

As hordes of demons fell, three hideous demons, each with a heavy shell and resembling a pangolin, leaped out from behind.

They huddled together like a ball, bracing themselves against the flames of the explosion, and launched a counterattack against Dunshan and his two companions.

However, seeing the three pangolin demons charging towards the three of them, Thresh, who was maintaining the firepower output, did not continue to attack them in vain. Instead, he completely ignored these three tough guys and turned his gun to continue to clear out the other weaker demons.

Just as the pangolin demon was covering the three of them, and the other demons were about to rush up to them.

Dunshan, who was at the forefront of the three-person team, suddenly slammed his large shield into the ground, and the lower half of the shield went directly into the ground.

Suddenly, the crimson patterns on the shield, resembling magma, seemed to come alive, spreading instantly from the shield to the ground on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, the crimson patterns on the ground actually resembled erupting magma, with towering lava rising into the sky and instantly solidifying into a solid wall of alternating black and red.

In the blink of an eye, the giant shield, which was already nearly as tall as a person, rapidly expanded into a real shield wall that was five or six meters wide and more than three meters high.

"when--"

Three crisp, loud sounds rang out in quick succession.

The three pangolin demons charging at the front crashed into the suddenly appearing wall of lava.

However, the lava shield wall created by Dunshan is not just for defense.

At the very moment of impact, a bright red light suddenly shone from the shield wall, and countless streams of scalding magma surged forth from the shield surface.

In just a moment, the gushing lava completely engulfed all the demons that had followed it.

"Ahhh-"

The screams and howls of the demons were incessant. Even the three pangolin demons at the forefront, which could ignore Gatling gun fire, had their shells melted by the scalding lava. Not to mention the fragile ones hiding behind these three demons, who needed cover.

However, this lava came quickly and went quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the scalding magma solidified again into blackish-red rocks that resembled the shield.

Many demons were not even completely melted before they were firmly imprisoned in place by the solidified magma.

It was only then that Green Bull, who had been a step slower in his charge, shouldered his giant axe and leaped over the shield wall. However, when his feet landed on solidified lava...

He first looked at the piles of demon corpses on both sides, which had been mowed down by machine gun fire, and then at the large area of ​​crooked and twisted art sculptures in front of him. He could only scratch his head helplessly.

"Captain, at least leave me some!!"

Even so, Green Bull still carried his great axe and charged towards the deeper horde of demons.

Meanwhile, the three-person team on this side is wreaking havoc, but let's leave that aside for now.

Almost at the same time, Tony, who was intercepting the demons rushing out from outside the building, exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey Luca, what have you been up to this time?"

Of course, Tony didn't notice the commotion that Dunshan and his two companions were making inside the building.

They were even less likely to be surprised by the simple muscle-enhancing armor worn by the entire Orange Tower security team.

In reality, what Tony noticed was the person in charge of leading the security team to conduct ground interceptions.

Samira, who also pulls out a giant gauntlet from a silver briefcase, can create storm tornadoes with every punch, tearing apart charging demons.

Luca, who had been using the drone's perspective to assist in the battle and observe the entire battlefield, naturally knew what Tony was asking.

He immediately replied with a smile.

"These are little things I casually made up a while ago, Quinques, or you could call them Demon Armor~"

Yes, including the demonic weapons of Dunshan and his two companions, and the Storm Gauntlets in Samira's hands.

And in the longbowman crouching on the opposite rooftop, there was the demonic sniper rifle he himself named 'The Roar of the Silent One of Dark Radiance'.

These were all experimental products that Luca casually created while researching the Demon Gate a while ago, before Tony Stark arrived.

These weapons are essentially still based on the 'Death Ritual - Weapon Demonization' technology that Luca brought back from the Devil May Cry world.

After all, the 'Return to Heaven Ritual' of human modification not only has a low success rate, but also poor controllability. Therefore, for Luca, who wants to use demonic power, the priority would naturally be to demonize the weapon.

However, aside from being easier to fight against magical enemies from the mystical side, the demonized weapons do not have a significant advantage over conventional, purely technological weapons in other aspects.

Therefore, when Luca was manufacturing these weapons, he naturally wanted to make certain upgrades and modifications.

While retaining the unique abilities of the demons originally used as materials, Luca also wanted their growth potential, applicability, controllability, and so on.

As a result, although the activated demon weapon that Luca created possessed these characteristics, it still needed to be placed in a specially made magnetic field culture dish at all times and in constant contact with the user in order to continuously increase its tacit understanding and adaptability.

Weapons with these characteristics are naturally not suitable for portable means such as 'dehydration gun compression'.

Left with no other option, Luca had to put in some more effort to create a portable magnetic field generator culture dish that was easy to carry around in daily life.

As for why it was made into the shape of a white briefcase and why the weapon was named 'Kinker', that was just Luca's quirky sense of humor and a little fantasy.

'If these knock-offs can trigger an original item, that sounds pretty good~'
