Su Ming charged in and out of the enemy lines, surrounded by a storm of blood and gore. The Little Demons were no match for him.
Until a massive Flame Sword blocked his path.
A thick arm suddenly rose from the Magic Array on the ground, wielding a mountain-like weapon that swung down towards Su Ming's head.
Su Ming saw it, and with forceful feet, he swiftly changed direction, dust and stones flying, his cloak spinning with him.
"Boom!!!"
The violent shockwave, like a comet striking Earth, almost knocked him off balance, and the landing sound of the fierce strike echoed like thunder between heaven and earth.
Rolling flames surged like a tide, and no matter how fast he dodged, the red fire still licked the bottom of his feet.
Strangulation rippled, the disguise at that location melted, and the original golden Armor seemed like a layer of foam, revealing the black and yellow metallic Combat Boots underneath.
The Giant Sword was pulled from the ground, instantly forming a burning ravine. Many Demons surrounding Su Ming were blasted into the ground, turned to ash in the sea of fire.
"Levatin..."
Su Ming recognized the weapon, the huge Wave Blade Long Sword was Surtur's weapon. In Legend, the unleashed Flame Giant destroyed the entire Immortal Palace with a single slash.
However, the current situation is clear, the Fire Giant remains trapped in his volcano, and even with the Teleportation Array, only his arm can reach through.
But this arm seemed to have eyes, knowing exactly where Su Ming stood. The second attack came immediate.
"Boom!!!"
Like a volcanic eruption, the Giant Sword struck down, sending burning debris skyward. Su Ming was prepared this time, dodging successfully, at least Strangulation wasn't hurt again.
Su Ming distanced himself, taking a deep breath, the heavy scent of sulfur filling his mouth, his ears ringing. He saw the red-skinned arm, holding the Giant Sword, retract into the Magic Array, and the eerie Array disappeared.
"A Crimson Magic Array, no Flame Power, Serrator huh? I'll remember you."
With his thoughts turning, Su Ming quickly dodged to the side, and almost immediately, the Crimson Magic Array appeared beneath his feet, a large hand suddenly reaching out, like catching a grasshopper.
The pressure attack missed, but the hand swept across the ground like a broom.
This one caught dozens of Demons, and with a grip of those five fingers, these creatures were crushed into paste by their master. Sparks from cage heads, remnants of limbs, sprayed out from between the Fire Giant's fingers.
Standing on the ground, the top of the gigantic arm exploded like a firework.
This immense power didn't fluster Su Ming, because he now had more intelligence: "Left arm... Right arm, Surtur can only extend one arm at a time."
Although in negotiations Su Ming preferred to get favorable conditions by leveraging information asymmetry.
But at this time, the warrior's solution was more fitting—dismember Surtur's arm, make him behave.
This requires setting a trap.
Su Ming immediately burrowed into the densely packed crowd.
Here were about a hundred thousand Demon Army, and even if they tried to escape, Su Ming stuck to them like glue.
And the Crimson Magic Array appeared occasionally, closely following Su Ming's steps. Neither Giant Sword nor hand missed a beat chasing him with attacks.
"Whoosh... Boom!!!"
"Clap!!! Clatter..."
After every loud noise, the ground was left in shambles, flames and remains flying through the air.
Of course, the casualties were only Surtur's minions. Su Ming himself was unscathed, though his skin felt tightened, Strangulation seemed a bit shrunken by the roasting.
As for the army's Death, would a Lord of Hell care? No, Flame Creatures were abundant in his dominated Dimension.
Su Ming just hoped Gin and the others had moved farther. He could manage holding Surtur back, but couldn't linger here too long. If the Mage and Gin encountered Zemo, he'd be worried.
While dodging, Su Ming also understood how Surtur's arm 'saw' him. It's not that the Flame Giant's elbow had eyes, but he sensed temperature differences with his skin.
Those small Demons had Fireballs atop their heads, the flame's color indicating at least 100 degrees Celsius, this fire was both their life and energy source.
While Su Ming's body temperature was about 36 degrees Celsius, with Strangulation's insulation, it could be detected even lower.
Even an ordinary person, holding a small piece of ice near the back of their hand, without touching or seeing, could feel its general position.
As a Flame Demon, Surtur was even more sensitive to temperature.
Now knowing the enemy's judgment principle and attack restrictions, this guy was just a brute force Giant to him. The most effective countermeasure was actually to Summon a Frost Demon God to confront him, or use mass liquid nitrogen to wash his hands.
Unfortunately, even Batman couldn't 'coincidentally' store hundreds to thousands of tons of liquid nitrogen or similar coolants in his belt.
But Su Ming's discovery wasn't just that, there was another exploitable discovery.
Strictly speaking, Surtur was an Elemental Demon, but his body structure was extremely humanoid—which meant his elbow could only bend inward.
If a soft-bodied creature's tentacle emerged from the ground, its attack area would cover the entire 360 degrees around the Array, the weapon or tentacle's length would be the radius of that circle.
But Surtur couldn't bend his elbow outward, meaning his attack surface projected on the ground was actually a sector, and the other directions had dead angles.
Large size, with dead angles, and without Energy Emission abilities, equals game over.
"Godslayer, Chainsaw Sword!"
After the last Enchantment by Hera, Godslayer acquired Thunder Element and Earth Element—one specializing in attack, the other in defense.
Electricity is among the better-known energy sources to humans. Su Ming never stopped researching his abilities afterward.
Training his body went without saying, learning Fighting Techniques from other worlds was also necessary, and as a Weapon Master, weapon abilities remained a research focus.
He discovered that the electricity obtained from these Enchantments could drive the weapon itself, meaning Godslayer could transform into simple electric tools.
Like electric drills, electric meat grinders, electric screwdrivers, and such.
The last time he intimidated Wade, Godslayer transformed into a hand-cranked pipe cleaner, even if operated by Su Ming the speed wasn't high—but next time, if Deadpool keeps talking endlessly, he'd be greeted with an electric cleaner, more intimidating.
