[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red (1/100): Generates a powerful repulsive force centered on 'Red'. Its minimum output is twice that of 'Blue', and its maximum output can theoretically reach positive infinity, approximating a miniature supernova.]
Information regarding Cursed Technique Reversal: Red flooded Aurelius Viremont's mind, and he instantly mastered its execution. He could now manifest "Red" perfectly, without the massive unnecessary energy waste of his previous attempt. More importantly, there was no longer the risk of being killed by his own technique!
At this thought, the smile on Aurelius Viremont's face grew more delighted. He watched Abomination scramble up from the ground and charge straight at him, but he didn't immediately use "Red." After all, his goal today wasn't just to test his new skill, but also to practice Black Flash and increase its success rate!
Aurelius Viremont deactivated the Limitless barrier. He channeled Energy Absorption and Cursed Energy Manipulation to the limit to reinforce his body. Facing the incoming Abomination, every muscle in his frame detonated with power!
BOOM!
The familiar black lightning erupted again. Abomination, who had been charging forward, was sent flying backward at an even greater speed!
Aurelius Viremont glanced at his right hand. Even with the dual reinforcement of energy absorption and cursed energy, his raw physical constitution was still lower than Abomination's. If it hadn't been for the Black Flash multiplier, he likely would have been the one knocked back.
[Reverse Cursed Technique XP +1]
The Reverse Cursed Technique activated. The hairline fractures and abrasions on his right hand healed at a visible rate—a recovery speed seemingly even faster than Abomination's!
Atop the skyscraper, Tony Stark watched the "White Demon" completely overpower the green monster and swallow hard again.
"Fuck! Who's the real monster here?"
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted toward Aurelius Viremont: "Watch out!"
Simultaneously, Aurelius Viremont heard a piercing whistle through the air and felt himself enveloped by a massive shadow. A giant fist was hurtling toward his head!
Through the Six Eyes, Aurelius Viremont had sensed Hulk's movement the moment he started. However, he didn't panic or even dodge. Instead, he rubbed his chin with his fingers, lost in thought.
"After using Black Flash, one enters a special state that allows the user to exert 120% of their potential. So, this is the 'Zone' state?"
He had noticed this after his first Black Flash, but using two in a row made the effect much more profound. Every cell in his body was dancing; his focus was unprecedented, allowing him to perceive details that were previously invisible!
BOOM!
Hulk's fist broke the sound barrier, creating a visible sonic boom as it struck toward Aurelius Viremont's skull. But even such a terrifying punch stopped dead ten centimeters away from Aurelius Viremont, unable to advance further!
Hulk's fists became a blur of afterimages as he rained blows upon Aurelius Viremont, but they remained useless! To the onlookers, it looked like a toddler throwing a tantrum against a calm adult. No matter how much the "child" wailed, the "adult" remained unshakable.
If one had to say Hulk's attack achieved anything, it was that the dust kicked up by the sonic booms finally distracted Aurelius Viremont. He snapped out of his contemplation and looked at the Hulk behind him.
With a look of sheer ecstasy, Aurelius Viremont took a single step forward. Hulk was instantly repelled, his momentum shattered. Before Hulk could steady himself, those sapphire eyes were right in front of him. A hand that looked tiny by comparison pressed against Hulk's forehead. Accompanied by terrifying black lightning, Aurelius Viremont slammed him deep into the concrete.
With Hulk temporarily pinned, Aurelius Viremont's grin widened. He delivered a swift back-kick. The black lightning exploded again, and Abomination's body crushed a tank and smashed through a wall before finally coming to a halt.
Without looking back, ignoring the kicked-away Abomination, Aurelius Viremont continued to hammer the struggling Hulk!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Each strike of black lightning carried immense force, causing the ground to sink several meters with every hit. After three more punches, a crater dozens of meters wide had formed!
Having landed seven consecutive Black Flashes, Aurelius Viremont saw Hulk bleeding and semi-conscious. One more punch might have suppressed him entirely and forced Banner back out.
But as the eighth punch fell, the black lightning failed to appear. It was just a normal punch.
Hulk, who had been shielding his head with his arms, felt a sense of grievance. In previous contests of strength, he had always won with absolute dominance. Even against the other green guy, he hadn't been this helpless. Who is this person? He looks so small, so why does he have such power?!
The poor "Hulk baby" was about to retreat and let Banner deal with this terrifying demon, but then he realized the once-lethal fists were no longer causing significant damage. Hulk reacted instantly, leaping out of the crater and letting out a thunderous roar at the White Demon!
Driven by instinct, Hulk sensed that the demon could no longer easily produce that black lightning. Hulk's turn was coming! He was full of confidence!
Behind Aurelius Viremont, Abomination had also arrived, having witnessed the whole thing. The "White Demon's" black attacks really couldn't be used indefinitely! In the Daily Globe's recent report, he could only use it once. The fact that he used it seven times in a row was beyond Abomination's expectations.
But even for the White Demon, seven consecutive strikes must have left him exhausted!
If he and Hulk attacked together, they could surely shatter that damn spatial defense and kill him!
In the next moment, Abomination and Hulk swung their fists at Aurelius Viremont simultaneously. Two natural enemies, cowed by an unparalleled pressure, had briefly joined forces!
Seeing this, Tony Stark immediately ordered Jarvis to speed up the deployment of all his Iron Man suits, ready to save Aurelius Viremont at a moment's notice. He believed that even as strong as Aurelius Viremont was, he couldn't survive a pincer attack from two such monsters!
Far away, watching via satellite, Nick Fury's face was equally grave. He, too, feared the worst for Aurelius Viremont. Seven Black Flashes must have drained his energy reserves. Meanwhile, Hulk and Abomination had nearly infinite stamina and were healing rapidly.
If they kept attacking, they would eventually break Aurelius Viremont's defense!
Damn it, how do I save him? Fury didn't want to lose a vital future member of the Avengers! But he realized with despair that he had no way to intervene.
Was the White Demon really about to fall?
