Watching the cyan-green pistol in Luca's hand unfold rapidly, Kingpin behind the bulletproof glass immediately changed his expression.
The reason he had wasted so many words with this brat he looked down upon, offering shares and threats...
Was because he knew clearly that the weapon in this kid's hand had a high probability of easily shattering his last barrier.
He was the one who sent that dump truck. How could he not know the results reported by his men?
It was hard to say whether Kingpin gave up using force to deal with Luca solely out of fear of Stark Industries, or if this weapon was also a factor.
Who would have thought Luca wouldn't give Kingpin any chance to stall for reinforcements?
He unleashed his "ultimate move" without a word.
However, even at this moment, Kingpin wasn't without a final countermeasure.
Seeing the [Dominator] in Luca's hand start to charge.
Kingpin, who had already stood up, dodged backward with speed completely incongruous with his size. Then he punched a patterned tile on the wall behind him.
Crunch~
The tile shattered, and the red button hidden within was instantly pressed.
Beep~ Beep~ Beep~~
Rapid alarms blared, and crimson lights flashed continuously, bathing the entire hall in a blood-red glow.
Immediately after.
The middle sections of the two thick marble pillars standing on either side of the hall opened up instantly.
Everyone then realized that hidden within these thick pillars were two fixed machine gun turrets.
As the barrels of the turrets spun rapidly, the two heavy machine guns seemed to possess some friend-or-foe locking function, quickly turning their muzzles toward the group.
Sht! Luca's pupils constricted.
Then, four people shouted simultaneously.
"Dodge!" x3
"Master, look out!!"
While shouting, Luca, who was aiming at Kingpin, decisively turned his [Dominator], which had finished charging, toward the turret on the left.
Before the turret could finish turning, the cyan-green particle beam shot out rapidly.
Amidst the zzzt of crackling electric arcs.
A massive energy sphere instantly swallowed the entire turret whole.
However, there were two turrets on the scene.
Even though Shield Mountain and Green Bull, who were dodging, also raised their guns and fired wildly at the turret on the right...
Ordinary rifle bullets couldn't stop the turret from firing.
Fortunately, the right turret first targeted Shamila, who was on the far left.
Seeing the turret appear, she immediately lunged toward Luca beside her, which actually helped her dodge the initial lethal attack.
But this machine gun turret, Kingpin's last resort, obviously wouldn't stop after just two shots.
A dense curtain of metal bullets swept toward the four like a rapidly swinging scythe.
Luca didn't have time to think.
Following the momentum of Shamila's lunge, he grabbed her tightly and pushed off with his feet.
In an instant, the two tumbled several meters away.
Although this temporarily avoided the strafing fire, falling to the ground in this situation was undoubtedly fatal.
However.
Although the rapid rat-tat-tat-tat of gunfire continued.
The expected impact of bullets didn't come.
Lying on the ground, Luca followed the straight line of muzzle flashes.
He saw that Baymax had somehow rushed in front of the machine gun turret, its two large hands firmly pressing against the barrels, preventing them from turning.
The internal gears of the turret emitted the crunch crunch sound of metal breaking.
"Baymax! Great job!" Luca, still on the ground, didn't hesitate to praise.
At the same time, the [Dominator] in his hand began charging and aiming again.
"Thank you for the compliment. The best medical care is to prevent all possible dangers before the patient gets injured." (●—●)
While speaking, Baymax turned to look at Luca.
Then, it seemed about to exert more force to twist the metal turret off completely.
But seeing the main body of the turret groaning under the strain, Luca immediately stopped it.
"Don't, Baymax. Let me do it!"
As he spoke, the [Dominator] in Luca's hand finished charging again.
With a boom, another high-energy particle sphere shot out.
However, this time Luca didn't aim at the main body of the machine gun wrapped by Baymax, but at the column above the gun.
As the massive energy sphere swallowed half the column, the machine gun turret, which was still firing at high speed, immediately went silent. Under inertia, it spun a few more times with a whir before finally stopping completely.
At this moment, the four survivors turned their gaze to the culprit behind the bulletproof glass.
Their eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent.
Luca didn't waste words. He raised his gun directly.
Aim.
Charge.
Fire.
All in one smooth motion!
The cyan-green sphere instantly blasted a neat circular hole through the bulletproof glass in front of him.
However, this circular gap seemed much smaller than the previous ones, only about the diameter of a person's height.
Fortunately, even so, the bulletproof glass collapsed completely due to the loss of structural integrity, with dense cracks spreading from the hole.
Out of power? Luca shook his head helplessly.
The "LED lights" on the [Dominator] were flickering rapidly, and the fully unfolded force field structure retracted completely.
Seeing this, Kingpin, although unfamiliar with the [Dominator] pistol, intuitively felt this might be his last chance.
He let out a roar.
"Die! Brat!!"
Then he lifted the marble desk in front of him, smashed through the remaining glass, and charged fiercely toward Luca.
His momentum was like a speeding truck.
Every step caused the entire floor to tremble slightly.
The marble desk shielding him blocked all the dense bullet rain from Shield Mountain and the others.
Countless bullets hit the marble surface like a storm, sending stone chips flying everywhere.
Even if some bullets successfully hit Kingpin's body behind the desk, they were withstood by his pure white bulletproof suit and knotted muscles.
Cornered, Kingpin had only one thought in his mind.
To smash this bastard kid into meat paste.
But before Kingpin could cover half the distance...
After the first burst of fire, realizing this wouldn't cause effective damage, Shield Mountain ceased fire decisively.
Then, narrowing his eyes, he shifted his aim.
Bang bang bang, bang...
Six consecutive shots aimed at Kingpin's left hand, which was gripping the edge of the stone desk without the suit's protection.
In an instant.
Five of the six bullets hit the back of the hand moving at high speed.
Kingpin's left hand was immediately mangled by the five bullets, and his little finger was blown off completely.
Intense pain made him groan, and the heavy marble desk tilted in his hands.
However, the next moment.
Kingpin gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
His charging pace didn't even pause.
But at this moment...
Baymax chose to brave the hail of bullets from its own teammates, roaring as it rushed in front of Luca, then swung both fists to smash the stone desk in Kingpin's hands.
BOOM—
A massive impact explosion, mixed with shattered marble chunks, blasted in all directions.
The airflow generated by the impact even kicked up dust from the floor.
Although Baymax, exerting force in haste, was knocked flying by Kingpin's strength combined with the terrifying inertia of the marble desk...
And even though only a small part of the stone desk itself was shattered...
Kingpin, with five bullets lodged in the bones and flesh of his left hand, finally couldn't hold on in this clash of strength.
"Argh—"
A scream of pain.
The half of the stone desk in his hand crashed to the ground, smashing a huge dent into the floor.
Too late to raise his hands to protect his head.
The next moment, three rifles fired simultaneously at Kingpin's exposed head.
In an instant.
His ferocious bald head was mangled by bullets.
Yet even so, Kingpin still managed to take two steps forward.
But.
Luca had raised the [Dominator], its LED lights flickering.
"Activate, Lethal Eliminator Mode."
Next instant.
The barrel popped open.
Bang~
A finger-thick cyan particle beam shot out instantly.
Kingpin's head, upon impact, twisted and expanded rapidly.
Then, with a pop, it exploded completely into pieces.
Finally.
The headless corpse, like a mountain of meat, collapsed with a heavy thud.
A generation's underworld kingpin died a frustratingly stifled death in front of Luca.
