Chapter 65: You Guys Go Together
"War Woman, after all, he is Omni-Man's son, and he also helped resolve the Flaxans invasion event. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to spar with him?"
Green Ghost Alana stood on the high platform and said softly.
War Woman smiled slightly, "I will watch my limits."
She decided to hold back appropriately when sparring with Locke later.
Darkwing stood in the corner, looking at Locke on the high platform, and frowned.
Although he had the lowest combat power among the seven members of the Guardians of the Globe, his physical fitness could only be considered that of an ordinary person.
But his acuity was the highest.
He noticed that just now when War Woman proposed to fight Locke personally, Locke was expressionless, and even a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As if he was not afraid of War Woman at all.
Darkwing felt that Locke's true strength was far more difficult to fathom than it appeared on the surface.
...
Soon, the selection sparring officially began.
The one who fought in the first round was Eve.
Her opponent was a burly strongman.
Aside from raw strength, the opponent had no special superpowers.
Eve did not hold back.
She covered her fists with pink subatomic energy and knocked the strongman out with a single punch.
The outcome was without suspense.
When walking out of the battle room, Eve glared angrily at Rex.
It was obvious that she was very angry right now.
Rex shrank his neck back.
Mark asked doubtfully, "Rex, what is wrong with her?"
"Unclear." Rex's eyes dodged, and with a guilty conscience, he turned his face away.
Following closely on stage was [Shrinking Ray] Ray, fighting a gorilla-shaped mutant.
Ray's ability was similar to Ant-Man's, capable of freely enlarging and shrinking.
But she was currently a weakened version of Ant-Man; she could shrink, but could not become extremely huge.
She could only restore to her original human size.
When the battle started and the gorilla man's fist smashed down, Ray's body shrank to the size of a thumb, dodging the attack.
Then she climbed up the gorilla man's leg and burrowed into its ear.
The gorilla man began to vomit, swaying, and finally collapsed headfirst to the ground.
Ray crawled out of its ear, returned to her original state, and raised both hands to signal victory.
Then came the battle between Lightning Woman and Black Samson.
Black Samson had lost his superpowers in a previous battle and was now wearing powered exoskeleton armor.
But relying on his rich combat experience, his fighting style was steady and veteran-like, evading Lightning Woman's speed advantage, counterattacking precisely, and steadily securing victory.
After Rex entered the stage, using his bomb ability,
easily defeated a bald physical practitioner, and then yawned pretentiously.
"Too simple, I will go to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette first."
After speaking, Rex left with his hands in his pockets.
Match after match quickly ended.
War Woman walked to Locke's side, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile, "Kid, do you dare to come practice with me?"
"I couldn't ask for more." Locke smiled faintly, actively jumped down from the high platform, and landed right in the center of the sparring field.
He had long wanted to fight against the people of the Guardians of the Globe to improve his combat data.
Although these people from the Guardians of the Globewere completely no match for Omni-Man, they were still veteran superheroes nonetheless.
Their physical fitness and combat experience were still very strong, making them worth learning from for Locke.
"Spunky, I like it."
Seeing that Locke was not stage-frightened at all, a trace of appreciation flashed in the depths of War Woman's eyes.
Holding a golden warhammer, she leaped off the high platform, making a slight tremor upon landing.
The other six members of the Guardians of the Globestood on the high platform to watch.
Red Rush crossed his arms, his tone casual, "I hope War Woman does not get too carried away fighting later, otherwise that kid is going to suffer."
The Immortal shook his head,
"Rest assured, one of the purposes of our coming here is to personally test the strength of Locke and Mark. War Woman knows her limits."
In the sparring field.
Locke hovered in mid-air, his posture upright.
War Woman stood on the ground, looking at Locke with high fighting spirit, her expression carrying provocation.
As a youngster, Locke could not let his senior make the first move.
So he rushed forward directly.
"What?!"
War Woman noticed that Locke's speed was extremely fast, only seeing a dark shadow attacking.
Relying on her super-strong combat experience and reaction speed, she blocked the warhammer in front of her body in advance.
Bang!
Locke's fist smashed heavily onto the front of the warhammer!
A terrifying huge force exploded instantly, and the strong recoil force was transmitted through the warhammer to her whole body.
War Woman was completely out of control, her feet sliding forcibly across the ground for more than ten meters before she barely stabilized her figure.
The composure on her face completely disappeared, replaced by full shock.
She never expected that Locke's strength was actually greater than hers!
Locke calmly withdrew his fist and looked at War Womanahead.
He glanced at her data.
Name: Zandali Grant
Title: War Woman
Level: National
Strength: 600 tons
Speed: Mach 2
Constitution: 25t/cm²
Abilities: Warhammer Smash, Physical Enhancement, Super Endurance, Pain Shielding, Amazon Combat, Flight
Weaknesses: No Self-Healing Ability, Lacks Ranged Means, Impulsive Personality
[Pending Update]
If it were Locke who had just awakened the Viltrumite Bloodline, he would not be War Woman's match.
But now, Locke's strength had reached 800 tons, surpassing War Woman.
War Woman gritted her teeth.
She found that she still underestimated Locke's strength.
Seeing Locke's battle with the Flaxans on the screen before was still too one-sided.
Only after actually trading blows did she know that this kid's strength was even more powerful than what was shown in the footage!
But as an Amazon warrior, honor made it impossible for her to back down.
Thus, War Woman took the initiative to rush towards Locke this time!
When she was five meters away from Locke, she raised the warhammer with both hands, exerted force with her feet, and leaped high into the air.
She did a half-flip in mid-air, the warhammer wrapped in her body's full weight and inertia, smashing heavily toward Locke's head!
But this attack speed was too slow for Locke.
Locke easily avoided it with a flash, appearing behind War Woman.
At this time War Woman was still in the air, her center of gravity unstable.
Although she sensed danger, her body could not quickly react to turn around.
Locke delivered a palm-strike onto War Woman's back!
Bang!
War Woman's body smashed directly onto the floor. After a dull thud, she propped herself up using the hammer handle and stood up, her complexion somewhat pale.
If that strike just now had been from Omni-Man, War Woman's body would have already been chopped in half by the palm-strike.
Everyone watching the battle between the two was shocked into speechlessness.
War Woman was, after all, a superhero in the original Guardians of the Globe whose strength was second only to The Immortal.
How could she lose to the 18-year-old Locke?
Originally, they all believed that Locke would definitely lose!
"This kid..." The Immortal felt that he still underestimated Locke.
Red Rush said in surprise, "His strength and speed are both much higher than War Woman's!"
Darkwing held his forehead and muttered in a low voice, "I knew it..."
He went back and analyzed all of Locke's combat data,
and astonishingly discovered that Locke's strength was slowly increasing during combat!
This matter was extremely terrifying!
For older-generation superheroes like them, although they could also improve their strength through combat and training, it was extremely difficult and slow.
Almost hitting the ceiling and stagnating.
But Locke was different.
His strength even improved every single time!
This was the astonishing growth ability of Viltrumites!
...
Just as everyone was immersed in shock, an angry shout suddenly rang out.
"Humph! Let me do it!"
Aquarus had an ugly expression, unable to accept that a founding Guardian member was being crushed by a newcomer.
He leaped forward, jumping directly into the sparring field to face Locke head-on.
The Immortal frowned.
Since War Woman was no match for Locke, Aquarus stood even less of a chance.
Locke glanced at him and did not make a move,
Instead, he looked at everyone in the Guardians of the Globe and said with a smile,
"You guys go together."
Chapter 66: Guardians of the Globe Siege Locke
Hearing Locke's words, everyone was stunned.
"Is this Viltrumite Emperor way too arrogant? He's actually letting all seven members of the Guardians of the Globego together?"
"Although Locke defeated War Woman just now, it's impossible for him to face all members of the Guardians of the Globe at the same time." Kate shook her head, not believing it in the slightest.
Eve was still angry at Kate, but upon hearing Kate's lack of trust in Locke, she couldn't help saying:
"I believe him."
Hearing this, Kate gave Eve a surprised look, feeling more and more in her heart that Eve's feelings for Locke were definitely out of the ordinary.
At this moment, apart from Eve, no one present believed that Locke could simultaneously handle all seven members of the Guardians of the Globe.
Even Mark was a bit worried.
Although he knew his older brother was very strong, that was still the strongest superhero team other than his father, Omni-Man!
"Can big brother face all seven members of the Guardians of the Globe? Will that make them angry?"
Mark worried that Locke would get severely beaten up by the seven of them.
...
The Immortal looked at Darkwing beside him, saying, "What do you say?"
"Since he's so confident, let's humor him." Darkwingnarrowed his eyes.
War Woman was no match for Locke just now, and Aquarus certainly couldn't beat Locke either.
It was just right for everyone to go together to test Locke's true strength.
Hearing Darkwing's words, the rest of the people did not hesitate anymore and jumped into the sparring arena together.
The seven members of the Guardians of the Globesurrounded Locke right in the middle.
Everyone watching from the outside stared intently, waiting for Locke to be taught a lesson by the Guardians of the Globe.
Name: Abraham Brown
Title: The Immortal
Tier: National
Strength: 800 tons
Speed: Mach 3
Physique: 30t/cm²
Abilities: Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Physique, Millennia of Combat Experience, Extreme Pain Tolerance, Flight, Immortality
Weaknesses: Resurrection process is extremely painful, all memories of Death are permanently retained, no ranged attacks, emotions are easily disturbed by teammates' life and Death, will give up defense if mentality collapses, regeneration requires complete body fragments, completely pulverized and unable to be resurrected
[Pending Update]
"It begins."
Locke glanced at The Immortal's data, then rushed toward him at extreme speed!
The Immortal hadn't reacted at all yet, but Red Rush had already reacted,
turning into a streak of red lightning to push The Immortal's body aside, narrowly dodging Locke's punch!
"What?!" After staggering a few steps and steadying himself, The Immortal looked at Locke with a face full of shock.
He hadn't expected Locke's speed to be so fast; among the seven members of the Guardians of the Globe, only Red Rush was able to react in advance!
"Don't underestimate him; this kid is terrifyingly strong."
War Woman reminded The Immortal with a solemn gaze, having fought Locke just moments ago and thus deeply experiencing Locke's might.
Everyone turned serious at this moment.
Locke rushed toward someone again, and this time the target was Aquarus!
Red Rush sensed that Locke's punch carried quite some weight, and immediately activated Absolute Speed, carrying Aquarus far away.
He raised an eyebrow; Locke seemed to have some issues with Aquarus.
But feeling that he couldn't remain so passive anymore, Red Rush, like a red flash of lightning, began running circles around Locke, launching sneak attacks from time to time.
Red Rush's strength wasn't high, and his fists pelted Locke's body like raindrops,
which couldn't be said to be completely useless, but rather of very little use.
Name: Dmitri Joseph
Title: Red Rush
Tier: Continental
Strength: 300 tons
Speed: Mach 15
Physique: 15t/cm²
Abilities: Absolute Speed, Russian Combat, Sonic Boom Impact
Weaknesses: Cannot fly, extremely fragile flesh
[Pending Update]
After seeing Red Rush's data, Locke narrowed his eyes. Red Rush's speed was indeed second only to Omni-Manon Earth!
Even Omni-Man couldn't casually catch Red Rush; he had to wait for the opponent to initiate an attack, find a flaw, and then grab Red Rush's head.
Locke simply exposed a flaw on purpose, letting Red Rush's punches land on his sides and back.
He was waiting.
Suddenly, Red Rush's attack this time was directed right at Locke's front!
Locke's eyes narrowed as he seized the opportunity, anticipated the move in advance, grabbed one of Red Rush's arms, swung him around twice, and tossed him far away!
Bang!
Red Rush's body flew backward, crashing into the alloy wall of the sparring arena!
"Cough cough!" A mouthful of fresh blood coughed out from the corner of his mouth. That toss by Locke just now was no joke!
This shocked Red Rush beyond measure—his most proud speed was actually caught by Locke once!
This also served as a reminder to him that in the future, when facing powerhouses, he should try his best not to attack the opponent's front,
otherwise if caught when facing a tough enemy, the outcome might be Death!
Just considering this harvest from the siege on Locke, Red Rush felt it was worth it!
Seeing that even Red Rush was injured, the crowd no longer attacked individually and started a brawl!
War Woman raised her war hammer and swung it toward Locke's head. After Locke dodged it,
Darkwing on the side tossed out a few micro-bombs. Locke raised his hand to block, and the micro-bombs exploded right in front of him.
Locke took a few steps back, and Aquarus seized the opportunity to raise both hands, launching a water pressure impact.
Two thick columns of water shot toward Locke!
Name: Achilles Atlant
Title: Aquarus
Tier: National
Strength: 300 tons
Speed: Mach 1 (Land), Mach 2 (Underwater)
Physique: 18t/cm²
Abilities: Water Control, Water Pressure Impact, Underwater Breathing, Marine Life Communication
Weaknesses: Combat power plummets on land, fears strong electromagnetism, fears lightning strikes
[Pending Update]
Aquarus's strength was also average, but Locke didn't want to get his body wet. Just as he prepared to dodge, Martian Man, who hadn't moved the entire time, seized the opportunity to charge forward.
His body expanded like rubber man and tightly wrapped around Locke's body!
Name: None
Title: Martian Man
Tier: City
Strength: 250 tons
Speed: Mach 1
Physique: 15t/cm²
Abilities: Full Body Free Deformation and Stretching, Body Winding and Restraint, Organ Displacement, Limb Regeneration, Transformational Disguise, Impact Buffering, Flight
Weaknesses: Fears high temperature, fears tearing, core destruction results in direct Death
[Pending Update]
Martian Man's abilities could only serve as support, but he had a fatal weakness:
that was his heart-like core; as long as the core was destroyed, Martian Man would die instantly.
Boom!
The two water columns had already slammed into Locke's entire body by this time. Enduring the current's impact, Locke simultaneously located Martian Man's core position.
Seeing this, Locke exerted force with both arms, broke free to create some maneuvering space, and then grabbed Martian Man's core with one hand, applying slight pressure.
"Ah!"
Feeling his vital point being seized by Locke, Martian Maninvoluntarily let out a cry of pain.
The strength of his grip wrapped around Locke slowly weakened.
Locke wasn't trying to kill him anyway, so after applying a tiny bit of force, he spread his arms and completely broke free from Martian Man's restraint.
"Remember to hide your core well in the future."
Locke said indifferently, then walked toward Aquarus with a blank expression.
Seeing this, Aquarus was suddenly startled. He also felt that Locke's aggressiveness toward him seemed stronger than toward the others.
Could it be that I offended this kid?
Aquarus frowned. Although he wasn't entirely convinced, he had to admit that Locke's strength indeed surpassed his own.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right at that moment, Darkwing descended from the sky and tossed out a few more micro-bombs.
Locke didn't even bother to dodge, letting the bombs explode on his body. Then, he leaped up slightly, grabbed Darkwing by the ankle, and slammed him directly onto the floor!
Name: Dwight Hill
Title: Darkwing
Tier: City
Strength: 150 tons (equipment assistance)
Speed: Mach 0.5 (gliding)
Physique: 12t/cm² (suit defense)
Abilities: Optical Camouflage, Grappling Hook, Micro-Bombs, Electromagnetic Gadgets, Hoverboard, Aura of Fear, Deduction and Investigation, Disguised Stealth, Trap Placement, Combat Master
Weaknesses: Equipment dependency, EMP paralysis, extremely fragile flesh
[Pending Update]
Darkwing's stats were very weak, barely reaching city-tier combat power relying on various equipment.
Like Batman, he was better at lurking and tracking.
His brain was smarter than other superheroes.
If it were Omni-Man, this slam would have shattered Darkwing's entire body!
Locke deliberately held back his strength. When Darkwingslammed into the floor, his nose was fractured and his face was covered in blood.
Then Locke directly tossed Darkwing's body to Green Ghost who was preparing to sneak attack from behind!
Name: Alana
Title: Green Ghost
Tier: National
Strength: 200 tons
Speed: Mach 1.5
Physique: 15t/cm²
Abilities: Phase Phasing, Flight, Phasing Sharing, Energy Shimmer Impact, Weak Mental Pacification
Weaknesses: Mentality easily collapses, forgetting to phase means instant Death, main body's flesh is fragile
[Pending Update]
Green Ghost's stats were very average, and she could only reach the national tier because of her bug-tier superpower of phasing.
Sending her to assassinate a country's President, or anyone for that matter, was not difficult to accomplish.
But Green Ghost's weakness was also very obvious; as long as she accidentally forgot or deactivated her phasing, she would be vulnerable.
For instance, right now, Darkwing's body was slamming toward Green Ghost.
She could completely phase her entire body, let Darkwing's body pass right through, and then continue maintaining her phasing to attack Locke.
However, Green Ghost wanted to protect her teammate, so she extended both arms, deactivated her phasing, and caught Darkwing's body.
In the next second, Locke's figure had already appeared in front of her, slamming a punch right into Green Ghost's face!
Bang!
Green Ghost and Darkwing in her arms flew backward together, crashing into the alloy wall one after another!
Green Ghost sat leaning against the wall, coughing up fresh blood, her face still lingering with shock!
If Locke hadn't held back just now, Green Ghost's skull would have been punched straight through!
"Damn it, I forgot to phase..."
Green Ghost wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Locke with a face full of gratitude.
She was grateful for Locke's restraint, and also grateful to Locke for reminding her of her own shortcomings.
Locke noticed Green Ghost's gaze and smiled slightly.
"I hit her, yet she still has to thank me."
Chapter 67 Viltrumite Emperor, Second Strongest in the Globe
Locke Grayson continued walking toward Aquarus.
He clearly could have used his extreme Super Speed to instantly rush in front of Aquarus,
but he just walked over slowly, step by step.
Aquarus's face was livid; to his astonishment, he felt an immense sense of oppression from this young human!
"Use your full strength." War Woman and The Immortalexchanged glances.
Locke Grayson's strength exceeded their expectations,
not only possessing powerful stats, but also being able to flexibly target the superpowers of the Guardians of the Globe members and execute restrictive attacks.
Even Green Ghost's intangibility was caught in a flaw by Locke Grayson!
War Woman and The Immortal decided to hold nothing back, charging at Locke Grayson from both sides.
Swish!
War Woman's heavy mace smashed down toward Locke Grayson, but he sidestepped to dodge it, while The Immortal seized the opportunity to throw a punch from the other side.
The fist slammed into Locke Grayson's shoulder, causing a slight ache.
After all, The Immortal's Super Strength was on par with Locke Grayson's current level.
Seeing that he finally landed a punch on Locke Grayson, The Immortal pressed in closely once more, capitalizing on his victory.
Bang!
A whip kick lashed out toward Locke Grayson. Locke Grayson raised his left arm to block it, and immediately lifted his right arm to block War Woman's heavy mace!
All three people were exerting force at that moment. Since Locke Grayson's Super Strength was stronger than War Woman's, War Woman was starting to struggle to hold on.
The war hammer was slowly pushed away, reaching all the way to War Woman's chest.
Suddenly, Locke Grayson released his force, loosening his right hand, and quickly crouched down.
Relying on momentum, the war hammer swept over the top of Locke Grayson's head,
and then Locke Grayson instantly stood up, grabbed one of The Immortal's legs with both hands, and fiercely hurled him toward War Woman!
Bang—!
War Woman had just swung her war hammer out and hadn't had time to pull it back when she saw The Immortal's body slamming toward her!
The two of them crashed to the ground together, but they quickly recovered, stood up, and charged at Locke Graysononce again.
Swish! Swish!
The war hammer struck repeatedly, and Locke Graysoneasily evaded them one after another, but The Immortal's fists smashed over from time to time,
finally making Locke Grayson taste a hint of pain.
War Woman and The Immortal were old partners, and the two of them also had the highest pure stats among the Guardians of the Globe,
so their cooperation was tacit, putting much more pressure on Locke Grayson than the other few members.
Locke Grayson no longer launched active attacks, instead seizing the opportunity to use the two of them to hone his combat experience.
Watching Locke Grayson continuously dodge and parry, the two of them also figured out Locke Grayson's purpose.
"This brat is actually treating us like sparring partners." War Woman frowned, the force of her swung war hammer becoming even greater.
The Immortal remained silent. Locke Grayson was Omni-Man's son and also the strongest force among Earth's new generation of superheroes,
so he was quite willing to act as a sparring partner to help Locke Grayson improve his combat skills.
The remaining five people stood to the side to watch the battle, all tacitly choosing not to step forward again.
They had already lost when they swarmed Locke Graysonearlier; there was no need to go over and launch a sneak attack again.
A dozen minutes later, Locke Grayson felt it was about time to end the battle,
he once again evaded one of War Woman's heavy maces, pivoted to move behind War Woman, grabbed her arms with both hands, and swung them heavily!
At that exact moment, The Immortal was throwing a punch toward Locke Grayson, but greeting him instead was the golden war hammer!
Boom!
The war hammer smashed into half of The Immortal's body, and with a crisp crack, his bones gave a sharp snap,
immediately afterward, The Immortal's body flew outward, crashing heavily against the wall.
Feeling Locke Grayson behind her, shock flashed in War Woman's eyes,
but the next second, Locke Grayson's large hand had already covered the back of War Woman's head, violently pushing it down!
Bang!
War Woman's entire face smashed into the floor!
The alloy floor was extremely hard; War Woman was smashed until her face was covered in blood, and her nasal bone was even broken and deviated!
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Locke Grayson had already held back earlier; otherwise, Darkwing and the others wouldn't have just been thrown out so simply.
Look at War Woman and The Immortal: one had a fractured nose, and the other had a fractured arm.
The entire audience gasped in a breath of cold air.
"He… he actually defeated all seven members of the Guardians of the Globe?!"
"How is this possible? He's just a newly adult young man!"
"Viltrumite Emperor… This hero title is probably… well-deserved!"
At this moment, all the young heroes participating in the selection were completely convinced by Locke Grayson.
Even the World's number one Guardians of the Globewere no match for Locke Grayson,
if small fries like them went up against Locke Grayson, they would probably be instantly killed in a split second!
"Viltrumite Emperor!"
"Viltrumite Emperor!"
Not knowing who spoke first, everyone started cheering for Locke Grayson.
It wasn't because Locke Grayson had done anything for them, but to express recognition of the Viltrumite Emperor's strength!
The Viltrumite Emperor's strength on Earth was second only to Omni-Man!
Amidst the cheers, a faint smile hung on Locke Grayson's face as he suddenly rushed in front of Aquarus and threw a punch!
Bang!
A depression was smashed into Aquarus's face, and his body tumbled across the floor dozens of times before stopping.
The cheers abruptly stopped; everyone didn't know what Locke Grayson meant.
"Everyone else has fought me, and with only you left, it wouldn't be fair, right." Locke Grayson smiled faintly.
Darkwing curled the corner of his mouth; Locke Graysonwasn't very old, but he was quite dark-hearted.
This brat held grudges; it was better not to offend him in the future.
Just because Aquarus had a bad attitude toward Locke Grayson, he had to take another punch even after the fight ended.
Name: Locke Grayson
Title: Viltrumite Emperor
Level: Country-level
Strength: 900 tons
Speed: Mach 6
Physique: 35.5 t / cm²
Abilities: Smart Atomic Physique, Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Physique, Super Regeneration, Super Senses, Vacuum Survival, Flight
Weaknesses: Severe heart trauma, specific frequency sound waves
[Pending Update]
Locke Grayson's gains from this sparring session were quite good; both his strength and physique had increased.
One still needed to fight against strong opponents for stats to improve faster.
But the opponent couldn't be too strong either; otherwise, if Locke Grayson were to fight to the death with Omni-Manor the Regent right now,
the one who died would definitely be him.
…
"What happened?"
Rex emerged from the restroom to see everyone very quiet, occasionally stealing glances at Locke Grayson.
Moreover, several members of the Guardians of the Globehad scars and injuries on their faces and bodies, leaving Rex scratching his head.
"Did alien enemies invade the Base?"
No one answered him, so Rex could only shrug and flip them the middle finger.
He had been smoking and playing on his phone in the restroom, having no idea what had happened outside.
Therefore, upon hearing Robot announce the roster for the second-generation Guardians of the Globe—which, aside from Black Samson, Shrinking Ray, Dupli-Kate, Rexhimself,
and a little girl named Amanda with the title [BeastGirl],
Rex couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahaha! Look at her! What a cute little girl!"
Rex mocked uninhibitedly: "Isn't there a minimum age limit to join the Guardians? Is this little pipsqueak of age yet?"
Everyone looked at Rex with strange gazes.
Little girl… Her strength completely didn't match her appearance.
Amanda pinched two fingers together and retorted: "Didn't you join too? Is there no minimum size limit?"
"I bet you act so arrogant just to cover up some sort of flaw of yours, right?"
In front of everyone, Rex was mocked by Amanda until his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth: "I think you need to be taught a lesson!"
Seeing Rex walking over with an explosive tube gripped in his hand, Amanda's right arm suddenly became incomparably thick!
Then, with a single punch, she blasted Rex into the sparring arena!
One of Rex's teeth was knocked out. He stood up in a disheveled state, staring in a daze at Amanda who jumped down,
what just happened?
"I guess you missed my selection match."
Amanda bent over, pressing one hand against the floor, while her other hand had already transformed into a huge green arm!
Immediately following that, her entire body began to change, completely transforming into a green giant over five meters tall!
"Do you still think I'm cute now?"
The green giant split her mouth into a grin and then punched Rex away with a single blow!
Pfft!
Rex crashed into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood along with several teeth.
"Fuck!" Rex turned the teeth in his hand into bombs and hurled them at the green giant.
But to the giant, the power was like a tickle.
The green giant grabbed Rex by the collar, pinned him to the floor, and smashed punches onto his face one after another!
"Brother, Rex is about to be beaten to death." Mark said worriedly.
Although Rex had a foul mouth and acted like a punk, his heart wasn't bad,
and when Earth encountered a crisis, he also possessed the determination and actions to fight to the death.
Locke Grayson nodded slightly, then levitated into the air and landed beside Rex,
"Stop."
Amanda was carried away in the heat of the moment and, without even looking at Locke Grayson, directly threw a punch.
Bang!
However, this fist containing hundreds of tons of force was easily blocked by Locke Grayson.
Locke Grayson's fist gripped the green giant's huge fist, actually causing her to feel a sharp pain!
Anger surged within the green giant. Stopping her beating of Rex, her other arm also swung toward Locke Grayson.
Locke Grayson frowned slightly and, with a Super Speedeven faster than hers, smashed a punch directly into the green giant's face!
Boom!
The green giant's strong body flew out like a cannonball, slamming into the alloy wall!
This strike knocked Amanda straight back to her original form, turning her back into a little girl less than 1.5 meters tall.
Name: Amanda
Title: Monster Girl
Level: City-level
Strength: 450 tons
Speed: Mach 0.2
Physique: 20t / cm²
Abilities: Monster Transformation, Super Strength, Super Durability, Rapid Self-Healing, Beast Instinct Perception
Weaknesses: Reverse aging curse, lack of ranged attack methods, fragile main body
[Pending Update]
After Amanda transformed, her strength was about the same as Mark's when he first awakened; after all, she was an existence mimicking the Hulk.
But compared to Locke Grayson now, she fell far short.
"I said stop." Locke Grayson said faintly.
"I'm sorry. Whenever others mock me for being a child, I get very angry and couldn't control myself."
Amanda wiped the corner of her mouth, stood up from the ground, and said to Rex, whose face was covered in blood,
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that you are very small down there."
Hearing this, Rex's face turned even darker. After getting beaten up severely, he still had to be passive-aggressively mocked afterward.
"I didn't need your help just now."
Rex glanced at Locke Grayson and then limped outward.
Locke Grayson had some understanding of Rex's personality and didn't care about his foul mouth.
"Our final teammate is [Atom Eve] Eve. Thank you everyone for coming today; you may go outside to rest first."
After Robot announced the final roster, the people participating in the selection left one after another.
"Robot, I cannot be on the same team as Rex and Kate!"
Eve directly refused to join the second-generation Guardians of the Globe and then left with an angry look on her face.
"Rex, what on Earth did you do?"
Robot still harbored some selfish motives, selecting all members of the previous Teen Team into the second-generation Guardians of the Globe.
Hearing Robot's questioning, Rex certainly didn't want to blurt out the matter of his cheating,
so he walked out silently while clutching his stomach.
…
Eve was flying above the city when she suddenly sensed something,
and looking back, it turned out that Locke Grayson had chased after her.
The corners of her mouth subconsciously curved into an arc, but her expression immediately turned dejected again.
Locke Grayson maintained a parallel position with Eve, and the two of them flew silently in the high altitude.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
Eve couldn't hold back first, turning her head to look at Locke Grayson and saying.
Locke Grayson smiled slightly, "If you want to say it, you'll naturally tell me."
Eve pursed her lips and said, "Rex cheated."
"Oh?" Locke Grayson feigned ignorance and raised an eyebrow.
"He hooked up with Kate, and what's more, there were three Kates!"
Eve raised her volume, "After I caught them red-handed on the spot, he actually quibbled and said that I'm having an affair with you!"
"Rex really knows how to play."
Kate's duplication ability really has a way when used for special services.
"What did you say?" Eve didn't hear clearly.
Locke Grayson gave a light cough, "Rex is truly a bastard."
"He's not always like that." Eve sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, the two of us are over."
