The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 321 Let me show you the true power of a mage, mecha fusion!

Hei Kong never expected Du Mu to be so ruthless, actually planting a bomb inside Madam Gao's body beforehand.

And it was detonated so decisively, just like that.

Hei Kong considers himself a devil with no bottom line, and a bad guy among his peers, the kind who does no good deeds and does all sorts of bad ones.

But this human in front of me used one underhanded trick after another, and his methods were extremely ruthless, striking without the slightest hesitation.

This style of behavior is even more demonic than he is!

With Du Mu's enthusiastic help, Madam Gao successfully escaped the clutches of Hei Kong, but the other leaders were not so lucky.

The black mist enveloped them, leaving them nowhere to escape. The moment their skin came into contact with the black mist, it began to fester, and flesh peeled away bit by bit along the bones, quickly filling the air with a pungent stench of decay.

Screams rose and fell, but the sound ceased after only a few seconds.

The leaders, along with the ninjas around them, instantly turned into dark red blood, which was completely devoured by the black energy, leaving not even a trace.

The Five Fingers of the Hand, who had long plagued Hell's Kitchen, were wiped out without any real power.

Five people couldn't even gather enough to make a complete corpse.

Du Mu looked at the scene before him and clicked his tongue: "Truly a born evil demon, not even sparing his own four loyal subordinates, how ruthless."

.

Hei Kong's lips twitched.

Bullshit, you clearly killed one of them.

However, he was too lazy to argue with Du Mu.

Arguing with this guy will only make you furious; there's no benefit to it.

But this incident only strengthened his resolve to kill Du Mu.

The human before him was as shameless as the Sorcerer Supreme, and his cunning was so extreme that even this demon, who had lived for countless years, was astounded.

Most importantly, Du Mu is still the steward of Kamar-Taj.

The fact that the Supreme Master entrusted such an important position to him is enough to demonstrate Du Mu's importance, and he is very likely to be the next Supreme Master in the future.

A shameless and ruthless supreme mage.

Just thinking about it made Hei Kong's scalp tingle.

He had already suffered enough when facing that bald guy back then. If someone even more cunning and ruthless than that bald guy were to emerge in the future, it would be harder than climbing to heaven for him to cause trouble on Earth again.

Rather than leaving this troublesome individual alive, it's better to eliminate him now before Du Mu fully matures.

Having made up his mind, Kuroku manipulated the black energy to envelop all the remaining Hand ninjas on the battlefield.

These ninjas' immortality abilities were completely ineffective against the black energy; they were swallowed up by it without any chance of resistance.

This is the price of borrowing power from the devil.

From the moment these Hand ninjas received the power of the beast, neither their bodies nor their souls belonged to them anymore. Kuroku could take it away whenever he wanted.

"Sure enough, you should never get involved with loan sharks."

Du Mu shook his head, showing no sympathy whatsoever; the Hand had brought this upon themselves.

In just a few breaths, all the Hand members on the battlefield turned into blood and were swallowed up by the black mist.

The entire battlefield suddenly became empty, leaving only the pungent smell of blood and the churning black mist.

After devouring so much flesh and soul, the concentration of the black energy was an order of magnitude higher than before. Amidst the churning, faint wails could even be heard, the mournful cries of the remnants of the devoured souls.

Immediately afterwards, these black energies were summoned and converged on Hei Kong's body from all directions.

Hei Kong opened his arms, letting the black energy flow into his body, a look of enjoyment on his face.

As the black energy continued to pour in, the power of the black sky surged wildly, distorting and deforming the surrounding air under the pressure of the black energy, and even causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The mental energy that Du Mu had just depleted from him was instantly replenished by the black energy, and even overflowed.

"Fortunately, I still have a backup plan."

Hei Kong felt both relieved and heartbroken.

It's important to understand that the real dimension is jointly protected by the Sorcerer Supreme and the three sanctuaries, making it difficult for dimensional demons to invade Earth.

Only by developing his own power on Earth like him could he arrive on Earth by smuggling.

However, Kamar-Taj is no pushover either. Whenever a dimensional demon reaches into Earth, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj will chop them off one by one.

For this reason, many dimensional demons compile their own magical scriptures or create magical artifacts, secretly dropping them into Earth and waiting for destined people to pick them up, thus gradually developing their followers and power.

Simply put, it's fishing.

Some lazy dimensional demons even packaged up a portion of their power and sent it out, turning humans directly into their henchmen.

However, doing so carries a high risk; there's a chance of cultivating a traitor who turns around and beats you up.

Black Sky was a lazy bum. Back then, he rubbed a lump of mud imbued with his own power onto himself and casually tossed it into Earth. It was only after a certain Japanese man picked it up that the Hand Association was formed.

Fortunately, the Hand was very loyal to him and had no intention of betraying him. It was through Black Sky's training and guidance that the Hand became what it is today.

Now, in order to fight against Du Mu, he has no choice but to destroy his own hard work.

Thinking of this, Hei Kong's heart was bleeding.

His eyes gleamed crimson, and his voice was icy cold: "You, a human, have pushed me to this extent. You are the first, and you should feel honored for it."

That bald guy doesn't count, because he personally descended in his true form that time, so the situation was different.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Kong raised his finger, and a ball of black energy the size of a fist quickly condensed at his fingertip. The surrounding black energy rushed into it, and in the blink of an eye, it swelled to the size of a washbasin, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Suddenly, the black energy ball hurtled towards Du Mu.

Du Mu reacted extremely quickly, almost the instant the energy ball was launched, his figure leaped back several meters, barely avoiding the impact of the black energy ball.

boom!

The energy ball crashed to the ground and exploded instantly.

The enormous impact kicked up a cloud of dust, blasting a crater several meters in diameter into the ground. The crater walls were corroded black by the black energy, emitting wisps of black smoke, and all the rubble inside the crater turned into powder.

But it's not over yet.

Several more black energy balls condensed around Hei Kong, pouring towards Du Mu one after another.

Du Mu kept moving, dodging left and right in the gaps between explosions. Black energy balls kept exploding around him, the explosions forming a series that shook the entire underground space violently. The soil and rocks above his head fell down as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Just as Black Sky was continuously launching energy balls, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly began to writhe, and a shadowy soldier emerged from the ground, wielding a long blade, and thrust it towards Black Sky's gate.

Haw!

Hei Kong immediately noticed and stomped on the shadowy soldier.

Interrupted in this way, Black Sky's firepower coverage paused for a moment. Du Mu seized the opportunity, exerted force with his feet, and charged straight at Black Sky's front.

He covered a distance of more than ten meters in two steps, and in the blink of an eye, he was within a step of Hei Kong.

Du Mu clenched his right fist, and a burst of light emanated from the surface of his fist.

With the momentum of his charge, he swung his right arm from behind, twisting his waist and hips at the same time. The light on his fist grew stronger and stronger as he swung it, leaving a white arc as it went straight for Hei Kong's face.

Gather your strength!

Boom!

Black Sky did not dodge.

He swung his right fist, the dark red fist carrying a scorching heat wave, directly meeting Du Mu's fist.

The two fists collided in mid-air.

Bang! !

A muffled, loud bang was heard, and a visible shockwave erupted from the point of impact, washing over the surrounding area.

Du Mu and Hei Kong each retreated a few meters.

Hei Kong looked down and saw white smoke rising from his right fist. The marks of the holy light burning his knuckles were still visible, and a layer of dark red skin had been burned off.

But that's not the point. The point is that the holy light penetrated into his body, instantly giving him several debuffs.

Weakness, slow movement, poisoning, blood loss, dizziness...

How evil that holy light is!

Black Sky was shocked.

Is this still the sorcerer of Kamar-Taj?

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj usually use white magic, so how come this guy is even better at black magic than him?

Black Sky's crimson eyes were fixed on Du Mu: "I remember Kamar-Taj is most averse to black magic. Aren't you afraid that the Sorcerer Supreme will find out about your use of black magic?"

Du Mu didn't care: "I believe the Supreme Master will understand me."

It's worth noting that the dark magic tomes he pored over in the Kamar-Taj library had numerous annotations.

When Du Mu was bored while flipping through the book, he would study it. His annotations were incisive. To understand the principles of black magic so thoroughly, one absolutely could not do it without a lot of practice. The annotator must have been a master mage who was proficient in black magic.

Coincidentally, he also discovered that the handwriting on it was very similar to the textbooks that Gu Yi had personally compiled.

The dark magic that those evil sorcerers are using now might be things that the Ancient One had already been using decades ago.

Those evil mages never dreamed that their own faction's top leader was actually the leader of the opposing faction.

Hei Kong snorted coldly: "You humans talk about peace and justice, but behind the scenes you're playing tricks better than anyone else."

That was true, and Du Mu did not refute it.

With a wave of his hand, the shadow beneath his feet surged wildly, and several black chains flew out and quickly wrapped around the dark sky.

Immediately afterwards, he made a grasping motion with his right hand, conjuring a magic sword that was much larger than the ordinary one.

Du Mu tensed his arm muscles, pulled the sword back slightly, and assumed a throwing posture.

Magic power flowed continuously from his palm, and the light on the magic sword grew brighter and brighter, with subtle spatial distortions beginning to appear around the blade.

At the moment when the light was at its most dazzling, Du Mu took a step forward with his right foot, twisted his waist and hips, exerted force with his shoulders and back, and his entire right arm, like a spring stretched to its limit, hurled the magic sword out.

Charge up and throw!

The moment the magic sword left the hand, a visible white channel was torn open in the air. The sword trailed a trail, moving so fast that even the afterimage was not visible, heading straight for the dark sky.

"A pointless struggle," Black Sky said dismissively.

Between the two sharp horns on his forehead, a ball of pure black energy suddenly condensed, compressed to the size of a fist, its surface as smooth as a mirror, while the surrounding space was compressed and collapsed inward.

Just half a meter before the magic sword pierced Black Sky's chest, black energy burst forth.

The two forces collided instantly in mid-air.

Boom—!

A deafening explosion rang out.

The collision center exploded with a ring of white and black energy, which turned into shockwaves that swept outwards. The ground was ripped up, and the rubble melted in the high temperature, filling the air with a pungent, burnt smell.

The entire underground space trembled violently, the dome collapsed in large areas, and large rocks covered with soil crashed down.

The strong tremors spread to the surrounding area, and the floor of Hell's Kitchen shook.

"What happened?"

"An earthquake?"

"Are the aliens attacking again?"

People on the street were panicked and looked around frantically.

The ground trembled in waves, and the car alarms on the roadside went off incessantly.

Most people didn't know what had happened, except for Daniel and others who had run to the outer perimeter. They knew that the commotion was caused by Du Mu's battle with Hei Kong.

Jessica steadied herself by holding onto the fence; the tremors beneath her feet made her almost lose her balance.

She stared at the building in the distance, from which rubble was constantly falling, her voice strained: "Is this still human?"

"Uh, that's hard to say."

Daniel had heard about Kamar-Taj from his master and knew that there were no restrictions on entry to the place, regardless of race or ethnicity.

Therefore, he was not quite sure whether Du Mu could be considered human.

Boom!

Just then, another huge explosion rang out.

This time the tremor was much stronger, and several people were almost knocked over.

Rumble—!

Before the group could even regain their footing, the unfinished building in front of them collapsed with a deafening roar. Concrete fragments cascaded down like a waterfall, crashing into the ground and raising clouds of dust that obscured most of the street.

Before they could even react, the collapsed rubble suddenly exploded from the inside.

Amidst the flying debris, two figures, one white and one black, leaped out and landed on high points at opposite ends of the ruins.

The white one is Du Mu, and the black one is Hei Kong.

At this moment, Du Mu was covered in wounds and looked to be in very bad condition. The white light around him had become very faint and was no longer as solid as before. It was also flickering on and off, like a light bulb with a faulty connection.

In contrast, Hei Kong, although completely naked and looking somewhat indecent, was unharmed.

The black aura around him grew even denser, frantically eroding the white light around Du Mu and constantly compressing his space.

The white light surrounding Du Mu began to shrink rapidly, gradually shrinking to less than a meter, and it looked like it was about to be completely swallowed by the black energy.

Hei Kong stood high above, looking down at Du Mu with a clear mockery on his lips: "Humans are just humans after all. Are they finally about to give up?"

Du Mu didn't speak, but took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

[Item: Soldier Rations Pill (Restores a certain amount of mana and fills the stomach; an essential medicine for every ninja when going out)]

After consuming the soldier's ration pill, his almost depleted mana was instantly restored.

"You think you're the only one with a backup plan?"

Du Mu calmly said, "It seems it's time to resort to some illegal means."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful magical aura erupted from his body, and the originally dim white light suddenly shone brightly, instantly pushing away the surrounding black mist.

Upon seeing this, Hei Kong's expression became wary.

A mage's illegal methods are nothing more than casting forbidden magic with extremely high costs, which could easily backfire on them, so they must be taken seriously.

"Let me show you the true power of a mage."

Du Mu shouted, stretching out his arms: "Mecha, combine!"

Black Sky: "???"
