Chapter 85: A Headshot from the Sky

Holding the "man extinguisher," Orion Cross flipped into the air above Abomination’s head and smashed it down hard.

The adamantium from the mutant world was different from the vibranium of the main world. It was harder, and its main function was not defensive kinetic-energy absorption, so its offensive power was stronger.

"Roar!"

Abomination was smashed dizzy by the man extinguisher. With an angry roar, he punched a parked car by the roadside and sent it flying. The car spun through the air trailing flames, hurtling toward a house. Inside the house, a family watching the battle through the window instantly revealed terrified expressions.

"Hulk!"

A green figure suddenly jumped out and punched the car into the sky.

Hulk’s consciousness had returned, and Banner’s consciousness was once again suppressed.

"Hulk! You deserter, you finally came back!"

Abomination shook his dizzy head and directly ignored Orion Cross again, charging toward Hulk, who had just appeared. Watching the two muscle-filled monsters hug each other and start fighting again, Orion Cross immediately felt a headache.

"Looks like it’s time to go cultivate Sage Mode."

Orion Cross shook the man extinguisher in his hand and muttered to himself. Having a durable sandbag looked like a wonderful thing, but it also indirectly proved that Orion Cross’s strength was still not enough.

"Green thing, move!"

"Hulk!"

Hulk looked at Orion Cross with fear, obediently jumped to the side, crouched on the ground, and pounded the earth twice. At the same time, a swirl of sand spiraled around Abomination and instantly turned into a ring of Sand Soldiers, their spears stabbing into Abomination’s body.

Abomination cried out in pain and swung his fists wildly, the sound of tearing wind cutting through the air. However, just as his fists were about to touch the Sand Soldiers, the Sand Soldiers automatically scattered into flowing sand. Punching flowing sand was no different from punching water. It had no effect at all. After his fist passed through, the Sand Soldiers returned to their original forms.

"Looks like I can begin."

Orion Cross took a deep breath and tried to open a portal without relying on the Sling Ring. After consuming more than half of his magic power, Orion Cross finally opened a portal above Abomination’s head. When using the Sling Ring, the consumption was almost zero. But without the Sling Ring, even for a dimension walker like Orion Cross, the cost increased dramatically. Perhaps the Sling Ring was equivalent to the key to the door called "space," while Orion Cross was now choosing to force the door open without a key.

As for why Orion Cross did not choose to use the convenient "key," it was naturally because in many situations, opening the door with a "key" had many limitations. Once the key was destroyed, everything would be over. Just like now.

Boom!

Orion Cross stomped his foot and leaped into the sky. After reaching an altitude of several thousand meters, he began falling rapidly toward Abomination.

"Roar!"

Abomination was entangled by the Sand Soldiers, desperately swinging his fists, completely unaware that a falling star was about to descend onto his head. This was the consequence of reduced intelligence. On the surface, Abomination still retained Blonsky’s human consciousness and memories, but in reality, his brain was not even comparable to Hulk’s.

Orion Cross turned into a shooting star and fell from the sky, but the attack did not land on Abomination. Instead, he plunged into the portal.

The power of Great Wasteland Starfall was absolutely related to the time spent falling. During the descent, its speed and force would constantly increase. So, in theory, if he began falling from the edge of the planet’s gravitational range, Orion Cross could cause the greatest damage. That meant opening portals and allowing himself to continuously accumulate speed and power between two portals. But there was another method.

This was also why Orion Cross did not use the Sling Ring. Under these circumstances, the Sling Ring would not be able to withstand it at all. It would basically turn to ash within ten cycles.

Orion Cross’s falling speed grew faster and faster. The flames produced by friction with the air had already completely covered his figure, and even the air around the portals distorted slightly.

"End."

After accelerating inside the portals for a full five minutes, Orion Cross closed the portal when he had only the final trace of magic power left. The Sand Soldiers entangling Abomination below simultaneously leaped twenty meters back, their feet linking with the earth. The spears in their hands disappeared, and they raised their shields.

Orion Cross’s fist, carrying the man extinguisher, violently smashed onto Abomination’s head. Abomination’s head caved in at a strange angle and was forcibly compressed into his body. The entire ground instantly collapsed, and shockwaves spread outward in every direction, but they were all blocked when they struck the Wall of Imperial Guards. Because all the energy was firmly locked by the Wall of Imperial Guards within a circular space with a radius of twenty meters, the entire ground directly sank more than twenty meters, forming a strange hollow.

At the center of the pit, Abomination’s head had already shifted from the top to the bottom. Unfortunately, Abomination was not Kabutack, nor could he perform a super transformation, so he was already as dead as dead could be.

Pop.

The final wave of shock energy rebounded, bursting Abomination’s head, whose bones had already been completely pulverized, into powder.

Abomination Series Unique Mission Completed: The Price of Power. Use a weapon to blow Blonsky’s head apart.

Reward obtained: Skill — Culling Blade.

Culling Blade.

Description: Orcs will never be slaves!

Details: Inflicts an absolute execution effect on severely injured or dying creatures, ignoring all physical, magical, and rule-based barriers and defenses.

"Another useless thing."

Orion Cross casually pulled the blood-covered man extinguisher from Abomination’s body. After seeing the reward he had obtained, he complained speechlessly. An absolute execution effect that could only be triggered on severely injured or dying targets? If the opponent was already severely injured or dying, could Orion Cross really not finish them off himself? This was not a game. This was reality. In reality, when Thanos was severely injured, he had no ability to resist and had his head chopped off by Thor. Orion Cross truly could not think of any situation where this skill would be useful.

Because he had maintained the portal without using the Sling Ring, and because he had used the Wall of Imperial Guards to stop the shockwaves, Orion Cross’s magic power had already been exhausted. Outside the pit, the ring of Sand Soldiers slowly collapsed, turning into a layer of yellow sand that lay quietly on the ground.

The entire street was eerily silent. A few bold residents walked out of their houses, took out their phones and cameras, and quietly moved toward the center of the battle.

"Do you need help?"

A resident stood at the edge of the pit and looked down at Orion Cross inside, gathering his courage to shout.

"No need. I’ll be out right away."

As soon as his voice fell, Orion Cross leaped back onto the ground. At this moment, the magic power in his body had already recovered by one-third. After all, he was not a mage in the traditional sense, but a "dimension mage." As a Jinchūriki, he did not need to recover magic power himself at all. If he lacked it, he could just ask the Star Beast for more.

The only flaw was that he could not absorb magic power and output magic power at the same time.
