Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 373: Seems like I made a profit again?

This sudden, enormous roar not only suppressed the sounds of battle throughout the entire battlefield.

The sheer force of the roar alone destroyed vast swathes of demons and drones in the sky.

Blue and white drones and black and red demons crashed to the ground like raindrops—no, like the sky collapsing.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was cleared away.

This time, not only Tony, who had just learned about the dimensional battlefield, was stunned, but even Luca, who was originally planning to leave, looked at the giant dragon in the distance with a serious expression.

"Have they deployed their hero units yet? They're really getting impatient."

Clearly, the appearance of this hellish dragon was intended to stop Hextech from continuing its large-scale transport of supplies.

In the blink of an eye, the silver [Kanjani Cross] on Luca's left wrist drooped down without him even noticing.

But before he could make a move...

Inside the Hextech base, the earth trembled slightly, and a crimson streak shot straight into the sky, appearing in front of the dragon that had just taken flight in the blink of an eye.

The person who appeared was none other than Si Bei, fully armed to the teeth in a jet-black Pandora armor.

Faced with the giant dragon that appeared out of nowhere, Si Bei, whose figure had already left afterimages in the air, did not hesitate at all. As soon as he appeared, he directly swung the giant sword in his hand and slashed down.

"Dang~"

There was a deafening bang.

A pure white, ring-shaped shockwave, centered on the point where the giant sword and the dragon's head collided, surged and rapidly spread in all directions.

In an instant, a large number of soldiers from both sides were blown away by the shockwave.

The impact of this initial, greeting-like exchange alone cleared a huge circular area in the chaotic battlefield.

"Ow—"

The dragon, which had just been roaring and soaring into the sky with great momentum, suddenly transformed its high-pitched voice into a painful howl after being struck head-on.

Its slender neck slammed down heavily, raising a cloud of dust on the ground with a deafening roar.

However, as a ninja, Mibu doesn't have the bad habit of insisting on fair and square fights.

Seeing that his sneak attack had succeeded, he became increasingly aggressive.

While in mid-air, Si Bei tossed the giant sword high into the air, then rapidly formed hand seals while plunging downwards.

By the time he landed, the hand seals for his ninjutsu were already complete.

His right palm silently pressed down on the top of the still somewhat bewildered giant dragon's head.

The next moment, countless dark blue rocks burst forth from the ground like vines, instantly binding the hellish dragon that had just crashed to the ground.

Then, without waiting for the dragon to struggle and try to get up again.

The giant sword, which had been tossed into the air by the cup, had spun back into his hand.

A slight movement was seen in the palm of Si Bei, who was holding the hilt of the giant sword.

A soft hum.

The blade, vibrating on a single molecule, was suddenly coated with a layer of blue-green wind-attribute chakra.

After a moment of charging up, the black sword, seemingly no match for the size of a dragon, slashed down directly.

The dazzling light seemed to make everything around it lose its color.

This time, there was no more of that resounding clang of metal.

In an instant. Like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The foul-smelling, viscous dragon blood gushed out wildly.

The enormous, ferocious dragon head was cleaved off and sent flying into the air, eventually spinning as it crashed to the ground.

The severed dragon body twitched a few times before twisting and shrinking back into a headless demon corpse, only slightly larger than an ordinary person.

I thought it would be a fierce and intense battle.

Unexpectedly, Si Bei's decisive move ended the battle in just a few seconds.

"That guy, Sibei, did a great job!"

Seeing that the battle was ending much faster than expected, Luca decisively put away his [Queen Cross].

Although the test showed that I could indeed appear normally in the dimensional battlefield while wearing the [Spiritual Pressure Binding Eye Mask].

However, Luca felt that it was best to avoid using Hextech particles if possible.

That's right. Besides sending Tony to the dimensional battlefield, Luca also wanted to personally step into the dimensional battlefield to test whether the [Spiritual Pressure Binding Eye Mask] could work properly.

In fact, Luca had already conducted basic tests back on Earth.

When wearing the [Spiritual Pressure Binding Eye Mask], the Hextech energy within him is instantly absorbed.

Even when surrounded by the high concentration of particles created by the 'Hextech Solar Furnace', the Hextech particles that wanted to integrate into Luca's body were completely devoured by the eye mask before they could even modify his body.

Even with Luca's current technology, he couldn't measure the upper limit of the eye mask's ability to absorb 'spiritual energy' when he was on Earth.

The Hextech Dimension's 'assimilation' of him was essentially due to Luca's special connection with the dimension, causing these Hextech energies to flow uncontrollably into his body and modify it.

The eye mask can absorb and devour energy the moment it enters his body, so there's no question of it modifying his body.

Therefore, Luca naturally wanted to try and see if he could use this opportunity to enter the dimensional battlefield.

Although this place is the intersection of two dimensional worlds, and the concentration of Hextech energy is about half that of the Hextech Dimension, at worst, you can simply return the way you came as soon as you sense something is wrong.

Given Luca's current physical strength, he shouldn't be completely assimilated by the Hextech Dimension after just a few hours.

However, it seems that the [Spiritual Pressure Binding Eye Mask] is working just as Luca expected, fulfilling its purpose effectively.

Although the absorption limit was reached the instant it entered, it was enough to barely maintain Luca's body's 'evolution' speed at thirty to fifty times that of the 'Hextech GN Drive'.

In this way, unless Luca is too reckless and prepared to stay permanently on the dimensional battlefield for years to come.

Occasionally coming here for a while not only doesn't mean he'll be assimilated, but it will also help him strengthen his own energy adaptability.

Furthermore, after arriving at the dimensional battlefield, Luca discovered something even more interesting.

The original description of the [Spiritual Pressure Binding Eye Mask] was as follows.

It doesn't store spiritual energy; it only absorbs it and returns it to the world.

When this 'spiritual power' was replaced by the 'Hextech energy' within Luca's body, the path of the devoured energy returning to the Hextech dimension was surprisingly direct.

The dimensional battlefield is essentially a special area jointly established by the fusion and collision of two dimensions.

That is why the two energies are so evenly distributed on this battlefield, each accounting for half.

Originally, based on the principle of 'equal distribution of battlefield energy', neither dimension would lose anything as a result of each contributing half of its energy.

'But now, with the addition of a vacuum cleaner like me that's constantly pumping water into my own house...'

'Thinking about it, it seems like I've made an even bigger profit!'
