Chapter 587: Hades Dog
Poof-
The two misshapen arms formed an afterimage in the air, producing a rapid breaking sound.
The grotesque homeless man is obviously completely different from the past in terms of strength and speed.
The distorted shape not only gives a sense of impact, but also a manifestation of the power of the creature.
The 'Nightmare Dimension' where [Bill Seifer] is located is a two-dimensional space completely different from the three-dimensional world of humans, so the creatures living in that dimension often have a variety of incomprehensible appearances in the eyes of humans, and as a manifestation of the power of [Bill Seifer]'s dimension, the grotesque power scattered throughout New York also inherits this characteristic.
Often, the more twisted the creature is transformed under the grotesque power, the more powerful the power it gains.
In short, it's another way of being inhuman.
The magic rope in his hand was flexibly wrapped around the tramp's claws, and as a former surgeon, Stephen Strange obviously didn't have a lot of combat experience.
Although he was used to seeing blood, it was all patients under anesthesia on the operating table.
Fortunately, the existence of magic solves this problem very well.
Ropes made of magic do not require skill, and can automatically entangle opponents by casting magic with a spell.
Using the time created by the magic rope, Stephen Strange raised his other fist to form a magic circle and smashed it towards the grotesque tramp's neck.
Boom!
The magic-carrying fist landed on the homeless man's body, but it didn't produce as much power as Stephen Strange thought.
The grotesque tramp in front of him was obviously more powerful in terms of strength than the monstrous creatures he had encountered before.
See, a blow can't be done.
Without hesitation, Stephen Strange clenched his fists and once again condensed a magic circle larger than just now, and smashed it towards the homeless man's deformed body.
Boom!
"Huh?"
In the next second, Stephen Strange looked at the shattered magic array smashed on the homeless man's body, and the sharp pain faintly coming from his fist, and the expression on his face was a little strange.
"Would you believe me if I said it was all just an accident?"
Looking up at the tramp's writhing head, Stephen Strange said with a stiff smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
God knows why this guy's body is so hard.
"You see me!"
Dancing his head, the homeless man did not react to anything in Stephen Strange's mouth, he just silently repeated what he said, and at the same time, the body connected to the spine began to stretch in the words, and the bones of the hands and feet continued to make a harsh creaking sound, and in just a few seconds, it became a strange creature with slender hands and feet, and a height of three meters.
"Dead ...... Die...... Dead ......"
After complete grotesqueness, the tramp's slender arms easily broke free from the entwined magic ropes, and at the same time bent his spine to turn his head at Stephen Strange, roaring and screaming.
"Looks like you don't believe it."
Faced with the grotesque tramp roaring, Stephen Strange's face froze, and a new bundle of magic ropes resurfaced as he turned his hands.
Grabbing the ends of the magic rope, Stephen Strange recalled in his mind the combat methods that Karl Mordo had taught him during the Kama Taj exercises, and his legs stomped heavily on the ground to form a flickering magic array, and with the help of the impetus brought by the magic array, Stephen Strange's entire body jumped up and jumped into the air.
Leaping into the air, Stephen Strange looked down at the grotesque homeless man who was half a head shorter than himself, and held his breath while throwing out the magic rope in his hand, which instantly wrapped around the homeless man's head.
"Now, keep your head down."
Using a magic rope to wrap around the homeless man's head, Stephen Strange took a deep breath, grabbed the rope and pulled the homeless man to the ground with the inertia of his body falling.
Collapse –
In the face of Stephen Strange's trick, the homeless man twisted his head connected to his spine and froze for a few seconds, but was soon pulled down by the tight magic rope, and his slender body lost its balance under the force of the pull, and fell to the ground to smash a shallow hole.
"Ahem, ahem......"
It's not just the grotesque homeless who bear the brunch.
Stephen Strange himself fell to the ground under the force of the pull, and almost suffocated.
Clutching his aching chest, Stephen Strange got up with trembling steps.
Turning his head to look at the place where the homeless man fell, he saw that the other party twisted his head, shook off the magic rope wrapped around his head, and at the same time folded his limbs backwards, and climbed up from the ground in an anti-human motion.
The tramp landed on all fours, and the homeless man had no intention of turning around, he just flipped the spine that connected his head one by one, and stood firm in this awkward appearance, while shaking his head at Stephen Strange and letting out a shrill roar.
The grotesque homeless man seems to have no mind, but he has clearly made Stephen Strange his target.
With a grin, the homeless man's folded limbs moved rapidly on the ground, and his entire body rushed towards Stephen Strange at an unimaginable speed.
Seeing the vagabond's huge figure rushing towards him, Stephen Strange only had time to make a magic shield.
In the next moment, the wanderer's distorted and grotesque face was clearly reflected behind the magic array.
"[Greyhound]!"
However, just as Stephen Strange gritted his teeth and prepared to block the car with his mantis arm, a silent voice brushed his head with the blazing heat.
The pungent smell on the tip of his nose made Stephen Strange feel dark.
When Stephen Strange opened his eyes again, he saw only the homeless man in front of him, the blackened spine on his headless body twitching unconsciously a few times before he went limp.
Boom –
Immediately after, the huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
……
"Surrender to fear!"
The [Yellow Lantern Ring] in his hand manifests the insect-like creature image of the main body 'Parallax Monster', with multiple hands, feet and knotted bodies, hovering over New York City.
The Parallax Demon enjoyed the constant fear provided by the citizens of New York City, and even the Parallax Monster's body in mid-air became a little clearer.
"Fear, I need more fear."
However, the fear provided by a city alone is simply not enough to satisfy the growing appetite of the Parallax Devil.
With his eyes flashing yellow light, he swept over New York at his feet, and the 'Parallax Demon's gaze quickly locked on the New York City government, which was being protected by the military.
If the city government, which has been trying to maintain order, is destroyed, the whole of New York City will become more chaotic, and the chaos will bring more fear, and more power will be given to the 'parallax demon'.
"Say goodbye to Order."
Thinking of the chaos that plunged the whole of New York City into chaos after the destruction of the city hall, the Parallax Demon grinned the corners of his mouth and showed a hideous smile.
"You have deceived me, what you have done has not brought peace."
However, in the next second, the expression on the face of the 'Parallax Demon' changed to a question again.
"Deceive, no, I didn't deceive you, Ultron, humanity is the source of chaos, and peace will only come to this world when everyone is afraid, so look forward to it......"
The Parallax Demon, who had taken full control of his body, was obviously not afraid of Ultron's questioning, he just pursed his lips, looked at the ruins of the empty city at his feet, and said with a smile: "When the whole world is shrouded in fear. ”
"It's not the ...... I was expecting"
Hearing the Parallax Demon's answer, Ultron's mind couldn't help but think of the ruined Earth.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the Parallax Demon, who had lost his patience, did not hesitate to regain control of his body.
Raising the palm of his hand wearing the [Yellow Lantern Ring], the 'Parallax Demon' manipulated the 'Parallax Monster' in the air to create more fear.
In the distance, at the end of the sky, a familiar figure flew quickly in his direction.
"'Parallax Demon', out of Ultron's body."
Flying in front of the 'Parallax Demon', Vision stopped his body, looked at the figure in front of him with a hideous expression, and slowly spoke.
"Do you think I'm going to give up this hard-earned body?"
[Yellow Lantern Ring] flashed a light, and the huge 'parallax monster' in mid-air suddenly bit towards Vision.
It was not easy to come out of the ring, and the 'Parallax Demon' was naturally not stupid enough to give up all this.
Blurring his body to avoid the gnawing of the embodied 'Parallax Monster', Vision watched as the Soul Gem inlaid on the forehead of the 'Parallax Demon' in front of him began to flicker, and a powerful spiritual power surged.
"In that case, then I can only forcibly kick you out of Ultron's body."
Under the power of the Mind Gem, Vision was able to clearly see the insect-like creature with many hands, feet, and jointed bodies that lived in Ultron's body.
"Damn it!"
Feeling the powerful power of Vision's body, the expression of the 'Parallax Demon' couldn't help but become a little ugly.
As a creature that materializes fear emotions, the 'Parallax Demon' is extremely sensitive to the power of the mind, and naturally discovers the terrifying power contained in the mind gem on Vision's forehead.
Under the protection of the Mind Gem, the Parallax Demon was unable to detect Vision's fear.
In the face of an opponent who cannot generate fear, many of the methods of the 'Parallax Demon' cannot be generated, and it is precisely for this reason that it has been reluctant to fight him in the face of Vision's pursuit.
It's just that the current situation has reached the point where we have to fight.
"You forced me to do all this!"
As a monster that feeds on fear, except for when facing [Bill Seifer], when has the 'Parallax Demon' ever felt this kind of grievance. It swept the vision with its yellow-orange-orange eyes, the expression on its face becoming more hideous and distorted, and at the same time, the fear that pervaded New York City beneath its feet began to pour into the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in its hand as the 'Parallax Demon' roared.
"I originally wanted to use this trick against [Bill Sever], and since you rushed over without knowing whether to live or die, then I'll use you first."
With the words of the 'Parallax Demon', the [Yellow Lantern Ring], which had absorbed a large amount of fear, began to flicker yellow light frequently, and these lights shrouded the 'Parallax Demon's body like smoke, and soon wrapped it, and finally transformed into an insect with multiple hands and feet and a multi-knuckled body opening its mouth.
That's right, the 'Parallax Demon' uses fear to manifest and wrap his body is nothing else, it is his original appearance 'Parallax Monster'.
It's just that these 'parallax monsters' formed by a large amount of fear are not the imaginary existence that they used to deal with the illusion just now, but the materialization of real fear emotions, which can be continuously regenerated with the power of fear.
In other words, as long as the fear of New York City does not disappear, the power of the embodied 'parallax monster' will not weaken, and this embodied 'parallax monster' will never die.
"Feel the power of fear."
Twisting his head and letting out a high-pitched roar, the 'parallax monster' is no less impactful than the grotesque creatures from the sheer appearance.
The Parallax Demon controlled his claws and grabbed at the vision on the other side.
Although the 'Parallax Demon' has many attack methods as a fear-forming creature itself, it has to choose the most direct attack method in the face of the vision protected by the Mind Gem.
Boom Boom –
It's just that he hasn't waited for the 'Parallax Demon' attack to unfold.
In the sky, a sudden sound of lightning and thunder interrupted its movements.
A large number of violent lightning bolts appeared in the surrounding area one after another, and in just a few seconds, thick dark clouds began to envelop the sky of New York City, adding a layer of darkness to the already dark sky, and along with these thunderbolts, a tornado flew in the direction of the 'Parallax Demon' and the illusion at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What is this?"
Looking at the rapidly changing climate phenomena and moving tornadoes around him, Vision's brows furrowed slightly, but a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
Dominic Butch and the SCP Foundation.
It seems that the people of the Foundation were also attracted by the situation in New York City.
The appearance of the SCP Foundation was not unexpected by Vision.
However, considering the SCP Foundation's attitude towards anomalies and government organizations, as well as its relationship with the Avengers, Vision is unable to determine whether the appearance of the Foundation at this time is good or bad for New York City.
