Outside.
When the world saw the ancient text Gwen had deciphered.
The internet exploded worldwide.
—“No… no way, the text says that Red is the darkness? He couldn't possibly become the darkness!?”
—“I can't believe it either, there must be a mistake! I still remember vividly the scene of the Church Fire War, the warrior who couldn't bear to see everyone cry, who fought with all his might to protect them, he couldn't possibly be the darkness!”
—“Right, Gwen must have translated it wrong! Red, who wants to protect everyone's smiles, would never become the darkness that buries the sun!!”
—“The person above is right! I can't imagine that scene, Red who would smile even when facing the toughest battle, who would give a thumbs up to encourage everyone, he would become the darkness! Because that's simply impossible!!”
—“Please, stop talking about this, I'm scared!!”
Countless noisy comments flooded various platforms.
At the same time.
In a castle in Sokovia, Eastern Europe.
“Whoa whoa whoa, is it really that dangerous over in America?”
Quicksilver, looking at the screen showing the newly revealed Mantis form of the Unidentified Lifeform 36, and the blade that glittered with endless coldness, swallowed nervously and muttered.
“There are monsters buried underground, and that's bad enough.”
“And these monsters can all activate their second-stage transformations, and above them are the even stronger Ge Group and the mysterious Daguba.”
“Living on the same land as these monsters, I have to say, it's really hopeless.”
Beside Quicksilver.
Wanda, who had always maintained a calm attitude, now had worry in her eyes.
Although she didn't personally know Red.
But during the time she watched the future video play.
She was deeply attracted to the story on the screen, and genuinely admired Red, who wanted to protect everyone's smiles, hoping he could have a happy ending.
But now, the ancient text deciphered by Gwen had shattered her wish.
She unconsciously clutched the corner of her dress, whispering anxiously.
“A grim warrior…...”
...
Regardless of the countless viewers and Wanda and Pietro's situation.
The future video on the screen also reached the moment the battle began.
【In the parking lot on the third basement level.
As the black wind completely dissipated, the parking lot, which was originally shrouded in darkness, was bathed in a glimmer of light again.
Sunlight shone through the broken ceiling kicked in by Red, gently enveloping his crimson body.
But this feeble sunlight could not dispel the bone-chilling chill in Red's heart.
Because before him stood a three-meter-tall mantis monster with mysterious and evil dark gold facial patterns, six arms that seemed to be severed and reattached, and each arm clutching a sharp double-bladed scythe.
“......It's the same type as Unidentified Lifeform 26?”
Red slowly raised his head, looking up at the tall figure in front of him with a heavy gaze, his voice remained calm.
But from some point, his hands had tightly gripped together, and you could even faintly hear the subtle crackle of bones breaking under immense pressure.
“Same type?”
“You really underestimated me.”
As soon as Red's soft murmur ended, the Mantis monster, Gallima, who had fully revealed his strongest form, suddenly widened his eyes, directly revealing a furious, extremely ferocious expression.
“Kuuga, you actually compare me, the strongest member of the Me Group, to the trash that appeared before, this is something I absolutely cannot forgive!!”
“Next, I'll use absolute power to correct your wrong view.”
With that, the mantis monster, Gallima, with his long and ferocious body, instantly transformed into a dark black phantom, silently disappearing like a ghost.
Immediately, a cold killing intent surged from behind, startling Red, whose face was full of astonishment.
“Whoa, this is a little too exaggerated!”
“How could his speed be this fast!!”
No matter how unbelievable it was, Red, clearly feeling the increasingly intense sound coming from behind, turned around as quickly as he could, then hastily put up a defensive stance.
But unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.
The six double-bladed scythes, glowing with a dark green cold light, drew trails of shadows in the air, accompanied by a mournful cry as the air was cut open, before he could react, they slashed heavily on his crimson armor.
Sparks flew, blood splattered.
Then, he, like someone swept away by a gale, fell heavily into the wall behind him.
And that was only the beginning.
After successfully striking, the mantis monster, Gallima, did not stop his attack.
He continued to use his ghost-like, elusive movements to roam around Red.
Those double-bladed scythes, flashing with a grim cold light, seemed like shadows of death, instantly leaving countless deep wounds on Red's crimson body, causing Red's face to contort in pain.
Not only was his speed shocking, but his slashing power was beyond imagination, it seems I need to change forms to deal with him!
With his thoughts racing, Red quickly made up his mind.
Then, he seized a brief moment when Gallima was attacking, and with lightning speed, slammed his hands from both sides of his body against the Agito belt on his waist.
In an instant, the Aguru Stone in the center of the belt burst forth with a brilliant silver-purple light, spreading like a tide across Red's entire body, instantly transforming his crimson body into silver-purple.
This was the Titan form, one of the four forms Red mastered, with unmatched defensive power.
