Chapter 28: Die
The only way for carbon-based life forms to supplement energy is through eating, and on the battlefield, there is only...
Just as the defense line was about to collapse and the lizard army was about to invade and multiply wildly in New York City, a sci-fi-filled aircraft appeared above the battlefield. As the cabin door opens, two adult arm-sized laser beams sweep across the entire battlefield, temporarily repelling the lizard people and giving the military a moment to catch their breath.
Coming to the rescue are the X-Men, and the one who just emitted the lasers is the still-young Cyclops.
However, the arrival of the X-Men seems to have little effect. Although their arrival slightly hinders the progress of the lizardmen and kills more of them than the military did, in this large-scale war, individual strength is like throwing a stone into a lake, only creating a small splash. The X-Men are just larger stones.
Moreover, with the passage of time, their stamina was on the verge of exhaustion.
Storm is no longer able to summon a storm to blow away the lizardmen; she can only bring down a few scattered lightning bolts from the sky to turn them into charred corpses.
Cyclops's laser beams, once as thick as adult arms, have now become more like laser pointers.
Beast and Nightcrawler, these two individuals, can't inflict significant damage on a large scale; they can only protect Storm and Cyclops, preventing the exhausted pair from meeting an untimely demise.
As for Jean, who possesses the ability to turn the tide of battle, he is currently staying at the school with Professor X. Since the last outbreak of the Phoenix Force that killed Apocalypse, she has been stabilizing her somewhat turbulent Phoenix powers at the school, so she did not join the battle.
Professor X, on the other hand, is working hard to eliminate the residual consciousness left by Apocalypse in his mind. Although Apocalypse failed to possess him last time, he left behind fragments of consciousness in Professor X's mind.
In fact, grassroots heroes like Daredevil, Punisher, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have been helping on the front lines of the battlefield, but due to their weak combat abilities, their presence is very faint, almost comparable to that of an ordinary U.S. soldier.
Black Widow and Hawkeye, who possess extraordinary abilities, are not on the battlefield at the moment. Nick Fury has sent them to retrieve the Cosmic Cube.
Just as the defense line is about to collapse, a magnetic male voice suddenly comes from the sky that makes men blush and women feel a tingling sensation.
"I am the Bone of my Sword
Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood.
I have created over a Thousand Blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life.
Have withstood Pain to create many Weapons
Yet those Hands will never hold Anything.
So, as I Pray--
Unlimited Blade Works"
With this high-pitched incantation, everyone's gaze turns to the sky.
There, a tall man with pale hair, slightly darkened skin, and dressed in a red coat is sitting on a throne suspended in the air, appearing extremely mysterious.
It gives people an impulse to explore the secrets behind him. As this man finishes reciting the incantation, a moment later, nearly a hundred golden ripples symbolizing nobility appear behind him. Then, from the golden ripples, emerge numerous giant swords glinting with sharp edges.
Yes, this person is none other than Zane, who has just arrived. He feels that the skill "King's Treasury" lacks a fitting opening statement, so shamelessly borrowed the incantation from Shirou Emiya.
Moreover, Zane's current appearance is that of Shirou Emiya, transformed using the skill "Thousand Faces."
As for why he changed his appearance, can't a real man just charge in directly?
Anyone saying this is either reckless or arrogant!
There is a reason why 99% of Marvel superheroes wear masks. Even if you are fearless against any threat, what about your family? Your friends, your loved ones?
The future Iron Man, Tony Stark, is a perfect example. He admitted his identity in front of the media, then arrogantly enjoyed the spotlight on the Earth's grand stage.
But what awaited him were the Extremis Virus, desperate situations, his home being reduced to rubble by missiles, and several close calls where he almost lost his beloved Pepper.
So, being low-key is the truth. Remember, development after being sneaky!
To be honest, Zane is angry now. His anger is not due to the casualties and losses caused by the lizard people, but because they dare to treat humans as food. As a member of the human race, Zane is completely enraged; this is the first time he has been angry since coming to the Marvel world.
"Die, reptiles."
With Zane's command full of killing intent, hundreds of poised giant swords shoot out and instantly pin down the hissing lizard people in place. However, it doesn't end there.
The swords hitting their targets explode three seconds later, with their power, enhanced by the "Magic Forge," not less than that of a small missile. In an instant, the entire battlefield is engulfed in flames, and hundreds or even thousands of lizard people perish in the blaze.
Everyone is stunned by the destructive power caused by Zane. The damage he has inflicted in this wave is almost catching up to their total from before.
These giant swords, including the throne Zane is currently sitting on, were all created by the Skynet in less than half a month. The terrifying aspect of technology is evident here; as long as there is mature technology coupled with ample resources, anything can be mass-produced. Zane is not sure how many weapons are currently in his treasury, but roughly estimating, there should be over ten thousand.
Moreover, the hundreds of giant swords initially shot out are almost fully repaired under the endless energy of the Space Stone.
At this moment, the "King's Treasury" reveals its ferocity to the world for the first time, and Zane shows off his muscles for the first time.
Although the humans are already stunned, the lizardmen, with their minds dominated by instincts, do not stop their murderous advance. With a roar from Lizard standing on top of a car in the rear of the battlefield, wearing a white coat, the war continues.
"Die!" Zane's eyes flash with cold light. Hundreds of ripples appear again in the void behind him, and countless giant swords continuously shoot out from the treasury towards the lizard people. This time, however, Zane does not stop.
The automatic repair speed has caught up with the rate of damage to the giant swords. In other words, Zane can keep playing like this indefinitely.
At this moment, Zane has successfully transitioned into a humanoid, self-propelled bomber...
(AN: That chanting by Shirou Emiya is just too cool, couldn't resist quoting it. Please forgive me, esteemed experts.)
