However, the "bad luck" on this Helicarrier clearly didn't end there.

Just as the Inhuman who cast the energy shield spat blood and collapsed, another person charged out from behind him.

This person wasted no words. He raised both hands towards the [Boxer Mech].

This time, it wasn't an energy shield.

In an instant, lightning surged between his palms. A blue-white lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket shot out.

Thunder roared across the carrier.

Crackle! Boom!

The arcs of electricity exploded, accompanied by the smell of ozone from the ionized air. The air twisted, the ground cracked. In terms of sheer visual impact, it looked like Thor himself had descended.

Hit squarely by the thick lightning whip, the [Boxer Mech] seemed to turn into a giant ball of lightning. The surrounding deck was blasted into charred fragments.

The massive hundred-ton mech wasn't knocked back, but it swayed slightly.

Seeing this, the Inhuman increased his output recklessly. Veins bulged on his arms, and his hair stood on end.

However...

Inside the cockpit of the [Boxer Mech], the series of alerts weren't damage reports, but...

"Battery charge +1%... Battery charge +1%..."

Yes, despite the fierce "Pika-Pika" display outside...

Luca's mech wasn't damaged at all. Instead, it was casually recharging.

This technology was a bootleg version of Tony's anti-electricity coating on the Mark armor.

Yes, a bootleg.

Tony developed the anti-electricity shell after nearly getting fried by Whiplash.

But Luca didn't learn it from Tony. He cobbled it together using various miscellaneous tech from the Conan world.

So far, it seemed to work pretty well.

"Beep beep beep~ Battery overcharge! Battery overcharge!"

"Alright~ That's not bad~"

Hearing the Haro report, Luca decided he'd had enough electrotherapy. He decisively piloted the mech to take a step forward.

THUD~

A loud bang.

The deck in front shook under the [Boxer]'s massive foot.

The Inhuman, still roaring and releasing lightning, was launched into the air by the tremor.

Then, under his terrified gaze, the [Boxer] reached out and grabbed him.

CRUNCH.

And... there was no "and then."

Luca casually shook his hand. Looking at the full battery bar on the screen, he smiled.

"Since the battery is full, wasting a bit shouldn't matter, right?"

Luca controlled the mech to detach the curved armor plate from its back and hold it in its hand.

Energy surged within the mech.

Vwoom.

From the tip of the curved armor, a giant beam saber over ten meters long shot out.

Seems a bit short?

VMMMMM~~

The beam saber surged again. The "hilt" vibrated violently.

The ten-meter blade extended to over forty meters.

As the [Boxer] swung the beam saber, two blue flashes cut through the air.

The high-intensity plasma blade sliced through the deck like a hot knife through butter, carving a cross-shaped opening in the "ground."

This time, Luca wasn't aiming for the bridge, but straight for the carrier's core engine room.

Through the glowing red molten metal, the fragile core engine was visible.

"Haro! Lock onto the engine core! Full volley fire!"

Luca ordered with excitement.

"Command confirmed. Cluster Missile Array activated. Target area locked!"

Next moment, over a dozen missile bays opened all over the mech.

Pop pop pop! Pop!——

Dozens of white smoke clouds exploded almost simultaneously, like silver dandelions blooming instantly!

From the smoke, over two hundred high-speed armor-piercing and bunker-busting warheads swarmed out, heading straight for the engine core.

Thwack thwack thwack thwack——!

The dense sound of metal impact and tearing merged into a continuous noise.

The armor protecting the engine room was riddled with holes instantly, like it was devoured by army ants.

The deadly sub-munitions followed the torn openings and destroyed pipelines, drilling into the carrier's most vulnerable core at tricky angles.

BOOM!!!!!

Not the sound of artillery fire, but a dull, heart-stopping boom erupted from within the carrier.

Then, an unimaginable, blinding ball of light expanded suddenly from the engine core, instantly swallowing all metal structures within hundreds of meters!

Solid armor? Melted and vaporized! Massive keel? Snapped inch by inch! Countless pipes and equipment? Evaporated instantly!

A terrifying shockwave swept outward from the light sphere!

The massive Helicarrier was like a fragile balloon, expanded and torn apart by invisible force!

CREAK——CRACK——BANG!!!

Teeth-gritting sounds of metal screaming filled the sky!

The carrier's massive structure could no longer withstand the destructive force from within.

Centered on the explosion, the entire carrier began to collapse and break apart.

The deck twisted and shattered like a fragile biscuit, thrown into the air, turning into a rain of burning debris in the shockwave!

The massive bridge let out a final groan, tipped over, and plummeted toward the ground!

Smoke, fire, and twisted steel formed an apocalyptic picture. On a huge piece of burning deck debris, half a SHIELD logo could still be seen, blackened and deforming in the flames, turning to ash.

The huge pillar of smoke and the cloud of debris stood like a tombstone of destruction in the northwest corner of D.C.

And the culprit of all this—the [Boxer Mech]—had already leaped off the carrier the moment the missiles were fired, falling toward the ground.

Accompanied by the soaring flames and scattering metal debris, the [Boxer Mech] landed with both feet steadily on the outer wall of a skyscraper.

The nearly hundred-ton super-heavy mech fell from nearly a thousand meters but didn't smash through the reinforced concrete building.

Although the impact shattered the outer wall where its feet touched...

When the four rows of wheels on the mech's feet (modified from the [Solar Skateboard]) started spinning, the [Boxer Mech] acted like it was on roller skates, performing a series of unbelievable parkour moves between skyscrapers.

By the time the [Boxer Mech] landed back on the ground, almost all the impact force had been dissipated. It simply steadied itself with one hand on the ground and stood up agilely.

Through the virtual screen in the cockpit, watching the fire and wreckage in the sky, Luca grinned with satisfaction.

"Done~ Next target!"
