2136 Recalling the Clones, Modified Iron Fist


    The energy from the Power Stone was fierce and violent. Just a little bit entering Luke’s body caused him a minor injury.


    That was right, it was indeed just a minor injury.


    Compared with before he learned Intermediate Evolution a few minutes ago, Luke’s physical resilience and healing ability had reached a new level.


    In a sense, he had truly be that all-rounder warrior on the radar chart that he used to joke about; there were basically no ws in his physique.


    The Power Stone contained the energy of high-intensity gamma particles, which only caused minor damage to his body, and he recovered in seconds.


    However, Selina’s new ability wasn’t to evolve by swallowing the high-energy particles; instead, her body had evolved with the aim of withstanding the energy tide from the destruction of the warship.


    Thus, the violent purple energy flowed into Luke’s body and just as naturally flowed out.


    Apart from giving Luke the ‘tasty’ sensation of spicy noodles, it had no other use.


    Hm, this ‘delicious taste’ was clearly something that a certain glutton hade up with.


    If energy was a delicacy, enjoying the taste and rejecting the ‘explosive calories’ was undoubtedly one of the abilities that a glutton needed the most.


    Luke felt like he had turned from a target into a ‘pipe,’ and the difference in the pressure he was under was worlds apart.


    Since the energy was just flowing through him, Thanos’s n to ‘lock’ onto Luke with the Power Stone fell through.


    Luke had been prepared to recall all his clones in a ‘3-in-1bo’ and beat up Thanos on his own, but that now changed; it seemed that this ‘man-and-woman’bo was enough?


    …


    When Luke’s main body was ambushed by Thanos, Knight, who was far away in outer space, contacted Strange.


    The Sorcerer Supreme personally opened a portal for them to return to Wakanda.


    This was another temporary secret base which Luke had set up; it was only 50 kilometers away.


    He gently put down Selina, who was still in the process of awakening, before Knight’s body in the armor suddenly copsed into a white speck of light which flew through the air and headed straight for Luke.


    Big Dipper put away the empty suit and nodded. Hm, this way, there wouldn’t be two Knights.


    On the other side, the white speck entered Luke’s body as he retreated.


    Luke’s body jolted slightly, and a small round shield appeared on his right forearm. He swung it at the double-headed de and sent it flying.


    Thanos raised his hand to catch the giant de. He seized the opportunity to press forward, and a purple light shed on his right hand as he punched down ferociously at Luke’s head.


    Sensing that his stats had returned to him, Luke smiled and punched back.


    Boom!


    Intense purple mes exploded between their two fists.


    Thanos staggered and took two steps back.


    Luke, on the other hand, was sent flying hundreds of meters back. There was the sound of breaking branches, and he plowed a long trench through the woods next to the hideout.


    But he didn’t fall, nor did he roll over the ground.


    Looking at Thanos charging at him, Luke sighed. “Forget it. I’ve already wasted ten million points. There’s no need to save 100,000.”


    As he spoke, the Level 1 clone on thewless turned into a white speck of light and flew through the air.


    Several secondster, the white speck appeared and hit Luke.


    After recalling his Level 1 clone, Luke’s total stats were over 120.


    Sensing that his body had broken through its limits again, his fists and arms lit up with a bright yellow light.


    Iron Fist, modified version, activate!


    The yellow light quickly spread over his upper torso to form half-real, half-illusionary armor.


    Different from the purely yellow light of the conventional Iron Fist, this armor had an eye-catching streamlined shape.


    Unlike the golden armor depicted inics, Luke’s armor was unadorned and extremely simple.


    It couldn’t be helped; it wasn’t like the “chi” produced by the Iron Fist ability was y that could be modeled. It was thanks to Luke’s 140 Mental Strength and his long-term experience with using Telekinesis, the power of faith, and Annihtion energy that he was able toplete the transformation.


    Inparison, Selina, whose abilities were revved up from the get go, couldn’t even change the shape of her breastte.


    This was something a person could do only after their mental strength and skills reached an extremely high level.


    The Iron Fist armor was quite strong, but it wasn’t cost-effective given the talent and hard work required.


    Only someone like Luke, who had a ‘quad-core processor’ cheat, coulde up with this sort of ‘dragon-ying technique.’


    But it was still useful, especially in the face of an ‘evil dragon boss.’


    The Iron Fist’s implicit attribute was hardness, which was different from physical hardness.


    To be more precise, the cirction of chi with the Iron Fist ability gave the body durability that was hard to break through and a special ‘pulverizing’ effect against an enemy.


    That was how unscientific extraordinary power was.


    Luke’s strong physique and healing ability provided a lot of chi for the Kunlun Chi Refining technique.


    It was only because of this that he could easily maintain such vish’ Iron Fist armor — Daniel Rand, the true sessor of the Iron Fist, was a lightbulb, the kind where the power could be ‘cut off’ in a few minutes.


    In the face of Luke’s armor, Thanos was very calm. For someone who could release a divine energy field, what was so special about energy armor?


    Just cut him in half. Thanos didn’t hesitate to brandish his fist and his sword, which shed violently with Luke’s fists.


    The two of them exchanged dozens of punches and kicks in an instant, and Thanos cursed inwardly.


    After recalling the two clones, Luke’s stats skyrocketed. With the support of his Iron Fist armor, he might still be a lot weaker than Hulk, but his skills were iparable.


    Compared with the Hulk, who was used to crushing all his opponents with his strength, Luke’sbat skills had been honed step by step as an ordinary person.


    Intermediate Combat Proficiency was enough for him to take down Thor and Steve bare-handed.


    ...


    The Stones in the Infinity Glove exploded with power every now and then, and the double-headed giant de swung and spun around, but that didn’t stop Luke from trying to attack Thanos at close range, which Thanos was a little helpless to do anything about.


    If it were anyone else, Thanos wouldn’t care about them getting close at all; the enemy might not necessarily be able to break through his defenses.


    But Luke was different.


    Given Luke’s strength, defenses andbat skills, Thanos couldn’t be sure if he would still be able to hold onto the giant de in his left hand if Luke got close.


    Until now, the only attack that Luke didn’t dare take head-on was the double-headed de.


    This also meant that if Thanos lost this giant de, it would be practically impossible for him to deal with Luke quickly.


    Sensing that things didn’t look good, Thanos immediately switched tactics.


    The energy of the Reality Stone and the Power Stone began to change the terrain of the battlefield.


    The pure illusion created by the energy of the Stones could indeed be dispelled by a credit-buffed telekinesis field, but that would be hard to do if the terrain was constantly changing.
