“Humph! That’s the feeling! Now let’s see if you can keep up with my top speed!”
Seeing that his attacks hadn't been able to defeat Red, the grasshopper-like monster couldn't help but let out a triumphant shout. He then forcefully launched himself from his legs, leaping and darting between the high-rise buildings in the heart of New York City.
Red quickly followed Baz's figure.
He then intercepted him on top of a building and unleashed a furious barrage of punches.
“Bang! Bang, bang!”
In an instant, Red's fists pounded onto the grasshopper monster's body like a machine gun firing.
However, these fists, which were capable of shattering any steel, failed to inflict significant damage on the ancient Grongi monster in front of him.
The reason for this was twofold: one was that the power of the Azure Dragon form was relatively weak, and the other was that Red was carrying injuries, preventing him from unleashing the full power of the Water Warrior.
Therefore, after several rounds of fierce clashes, Red was eventually knocked down by the grasshopper monster, his body involuntarily tilting backward as he fell.
“The new Kuuga, you are indeed a worthy opponent!”
“But unfortunately, I am the victor of this duel. Now, as the strongest member of the Grongi, I, Baz, will put an end to you.”
Watching as the age-old enemy of the Grongi family fell before him, the grasshopper monster Baz wriggled his mouthparts, letting out a triumphant roar. He then walked towards Red, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him high into the air.
“Damn it! Could it be… I’m going to die here…?”
Feeling his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, Red instinctively began to struggle.
Unfortunately, the continuous severe injuries and prolonged battle had completely depleted Red's physical strength.
At this moment, he simply didn't have the strength to break free from the grasshopper monster's grip.
“Farewell, Kuuga!”
On the other side, Baz had already raised his right hand, about to launch an attack on Red, when a sudden gust of wind swept in from afar.
Feeling this wind, the grasshopper monster Baz's face turned pale, instinctively turning his head towards the chimney in the distance.
“Kuuga, you’ve been given a second chance!”
Seeing that the smoke billowing from the chimney was being blown in a different direction by this wind, Baz immediately released his grip on Red's neck. After leaving him with those words, he didn't hesitate to leap away from the battlefield.
In the end, only Red remained, huddled together in pain on the rooftop of the high-rise building.
...
Screech.
The scene abruptly shifted, and time advanced to the next morning.
The grasshopper monster Baz, eager to complete the Grongi Ritual as soon as possible, reappeared on the bustling streets of New York City, initiating his second round of slaughter.
Within moments, dozens of innocent civilians had perished at his hands.
Under such circumstances.
Red, having recovered for a whole night, was already back to full health and had arrived at the scene of the crime.
He then transformed into the Azure Dragon Kuuga and engaged in another intense head-to-head battle with the monstrous Grongi Baz.
With almost identical agility.
Red and Baz had exchanged over a hundred violent collisions in just a few minutes.
However, even though his body had recovered, Red was gradually falling behind in this confrontation.
Ultimately, the Azure Dragon form of Kuuga was too weak in terms of both punching and kicking power, incapable of inflicting effective damage on the grasshopper monster.
In this perilous situation.
Gwen Stacy, a doctoral student in archeology, successfully deciphered an ancient inscription related to the Azure Dragon form and promptly rushed to the battlefield. Addressing Red, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, she shouted loudly.
“Red, the Warrior of the Water Heart, is one who transforms the hundred techniques of others into nothingness, a warrior who utilizes the fluidity of water to pacify evil!”
As Gwen's clear cry echoed across the battlefield.
A flash of understanding suddenly lit up in Red's azure eyes.
The next second.
Amidst the furious clash of the battlefield.
The Azure Dragon Kuuga, in which Red was transformed, exerted all his strength. His elongated figure, covered in black reinforced muscles and azure armor, instantly expanded by a few inches. He forcefully broke free from the grasshopper monster's restraint.
He then kicked aside the railing beside him, grabbing it tightly.
In that instant, a dazzling azure light blazed forth, instantly transforming this ordinary railing into the Azure Dragon Staff, adorned with golden runes and a blue shaft.
“What… what’s going on?”
“Why did the railing turn into that?!”
Looking at this scene on the screen.
Countless viewers watching the future video displayed expressions of shock.
Just by grasping it with his hand, he transformed a common railing found on any street into a staff with intricate runes. This… this ability was simply too amazing!!
…
In Pym’s underground laboratory.
“Currently, the smallest known units of matter are molecules and atoms. To transform a simple railing into a weapon with a completely different appearance, it is necessary to rearrange and reorder the molecules and atoms of the object, and then physically manifest them. This… is undeniably a realm belonging to the gods!”
Dr. Hank Pym, a genius who could be considered one of the most brilliant minds in the entire Marvel Universe.
He was now shaken by his own speculation. To arbitrarily transform everything in the world into the shape one desired, this was a domain only gods could reach!!
In fact, he wasn't the only one to make this deduction.
Other genius individuals watching the screen had likewise arrived at this conclusion, and they were equally astonished.
Their gaze towards the screen also became increasingly solemn.
