Chapter 380: Within the Plan!
Even with the wisdom and supercomputing power of the gods, he couldn't react to what was going on in the first place.
Nexus was clearly still bound by the energy cord in front of him, but it was at this moment that another Nexus appeared behind him—the same red body, golden eyes, and even the frequency of the crystal red light flashing out at the energy core on his chest.
A doppelganger?
But when did he become separated? Where has it been hiding all this time? How could his senses, as a god, not realize it until the moment he made a move?
That's right, this is a clone of Nexus, and a new trick that Richard has learned after more than one upgrade.
The clone skill is also one of the common skills among multiple Ultramans. The earliest generation of Ultraman used similar skills, and later the more well-known Gauss and Max in the Heisei system used the clone technique flexibly.
For Ultraman, this trick is actually very simple in principle. After all, Ultraman's body is originally composed of light particles, and since Ultraman can control his own light particle transformation to achieve gigantic and miniaturization, it is not difficult to manipulate light particles to reshape a body that is the same as his own.
The difficulty lies in handling and controlling.
Pity us, although Li basically has a full set of Ultraman skills, but without the instructor and the lack of systematic guidance, he is crossing the river by feeling the stones every step, and his ability is all on his own. After many tests and trainings, he can now only release a maximum of one doppelganger at a time, and the maximum duration is no more than thirty seconds.
The combat power of the doppelganger is not as good as the deity, and if you come up, you will lose the points on your body and the effect of two hits and one will definitely be limited, so the point is to get its surprise.
Before, the practice of the god of disappearance by relying on spatial tricks gave him a little inspiration. Although Richard doesn't play the rules of space very well, subspace is his home field! He took advantage of the moment when he reflexed the Celestial's attack to release the core pulse, and immediately ejected his clone to the outside of the Meta Realm, only waiting for the moment when the Celestial thought that he had been defeated and relaxed his guard to launch a thunderous blow.
The golden light condensed into a spear-shaped entity in the hands of Nexus' clone, and the tip of the spear stabbed towards the Celestial God with a golden vortex. Although this is not the real Eternal Spear, it is a copy of the original attack mode, and it also has the attributes of hitting and penetrating everything in one hit!
While!
A crisp sound echoed through the space, and the spear slammed into the god's chest. The tall body of the god shook, and the ultra-high-intensity energy was highly condensed at the tip of the spear, so that there was a shallow crack on the indestructible armor of the god.
And at this moment, he was surprised to find that Nexus, who had just lost consciousness and was hanging in the air, also raised his head again...... Not only that, but the energy around him seemed to suddenly increase and surpass the previous level in an all-round way!
The gods reacted immediately.
It's not that the other party has become stronger, but that the other party has been deliberately showing weakness before.
The attributes are completely suppressed and the energy is insufficient, which is the appearance that Nexus deliberately showed to the gods, in order to give the other party a prerequisite impression of "huge difference in strength", and expand the opportunity for the sneak attack of the clone.
Even being beaten to the point of coma just now was the result of his deliberate disguise. He reduced the operation of light power in the body to a minimum, suppressed the activity of light particles, and artificially created the illusion of losing consciousness.
Well, he also gave this trick a name, called "Ott pretending to be dead"......
The counterattack of the energy absorption reflection and the core pulse just now seemed to be a very unfortunate surprise attack, but it was actually part of Richard's plan. In fact, the release of the core pulse was also deliberately suppressed by him, creating the illusion that he was "unable to cause effective damage to the gods because of insufficient output", which interfered with the gods' judgment of the comparison of the strength of the two sides.
He then deliberately forcibly used the power of light to absorb the cosmic rays that reflected the gods, because he knew that this would arouse the curiosity of the gods—no cosmic god could resist the temptation of this new knowledge.
Does it hurt to be directly hit by a ray of the gods? Of course, it hurts, but in fact, for Nexus at this stage, it is not to the point where he will lie down directly with a single shot. I think that Old Man Odin was wearing the Destroyer armor and had more than ten rounds of food left, but in fact, it was not impossible for Richard to carry a few rounds.
When Richard pretended to be incapacitated and deliberately suffered a cosmic ray to be knocked down, he was 100% sure that the god would venture close to him to try to find out the secrets of the light.
Curiosity and the desire to learn, this is the weakness of the Celestial God, which is not a weakness, and it is the only condition that he can think of in a short period of time that can be used.
From the beginning of the fight with the gods, except for the initial mutual temptation, it can be said that every move and every step until now has been within Richard's calculations. And this series of arrangements and designs eventually led to the current situation, creating this fleeting opportunity.
The cosmic god's huge backhand slap slapped, and Nexus clone swung the Eternal Spear to meet him, which won him the perfect opportunity. With a single thought, Nexus's body suddenly shrank in the golden light, instantly shrinking to the size of an ant—almost a speck of dust compared to the nearly seven hundred meters of Celestials.
Bursting at full speed, the miniature version of Nexus turned into an afterimage and flew straight towards the rift that had been pierced by the Eternal Spear, and at the same time quickly completed the starting pose, forming a cross with both hands.
Cross Storm!
At his current size, the light of the Crossstorm was compressed to the extreme, as thin as a golden thread, but the power was not diminished in the slightest. The Crossstorm slammed into the cracks in the Celestial's armor, forcibly delaying the armor's self-healing. Nexus took advantage of this opportunity to burrow headlong through the crack and rush into the Celestial's body.
A torrent of energy rushed in, and a scorching storm swept Nexus's body into it, trying to repel him as an uninvited guest. The terrifying heat scorched his body, and the powerful energy continued to hit his skin, and even Ultraman couldn't sustain such an environment for long.
That meant he had to get things done as soon as possible.
There is no flesh and blood body under the armor of the gods, nor is it a pure energy life like Ultraman. What appeared before Nexus's eyes were a myriad of criss-crossing mechanical parts, intricately connected to one energy body after another, forming parts that resembled the internal organs of the human body.
In short, the body of the gods seems to be a perfect fusion of machinery and energy, half of them made up of energy particles and the other half of machines.
But exploring the physiology of the gods was not the purpose of Richard's trip. He increased his speed, his form almost disappearing, nimbly bypassing all the mechanical and energy obstacles in front of him, and heading straight for the core of the god.
Iron Man in the Avengers 1 movie pays tribute to the classic story of "Jonah was swallowed in the belly of a fish" when he faces the Zetari transport, but he seems to be the only protagonist who likes to do this. I don't know if it's inspired by the Bible.,It seems that all kinds of protagonists always like to drill into it to wreak havoc when they encounter those big and hard-shelled opponents.,And the effect generally seems to be pretty good.。
But Richard's purpose wasn't to wreak havoc.
His goal is the cosmic energy of this god.
