Chapter 458: A Strange Chase
"Click, click!"
In Victor Doom's incredulous gaze, the purple-black energy shield that was enough to withstand the bombardment of a nuclear bomb had been completely shattered.
The incomparably strong energy shield in Dum's eyes was no different to Laura than crushing an eggshell.
"Huh?"
However, to Laura's surprise, Doom, who was stunned and didn't have time to react, dodged her slap at the last moment.
Most of the defeated purple-black energy dissipated, and the remaining small part quickly returned to Doom's side, and he flew out hundreds of meters away in a daze.
"Humph! Still want to run? ”
Laura noticed that the black mist seemed to be self-conscious, enveloping Doom and speeding away.
She wasn't going to watch the other party leave, she was in a mess right now, and she could save her mind if she could solve a problem, so Laura accelerated after her.
Ahead, Dum, who had come back to his senses, subconsciously wanted to regain control of the black mist that enveloped him, after all, flying at high speed with his back hunched was not a pleasant experience.
However, he soon discovered that he could no longer control this strange energy that had been commanded by his arm before, which made Doom panic.
Victor Doom, who has not been secure since childhood, is also accustomed to the feeling that everything is under control.
In some ways, Doom and Stark actually have one thing in common, that is, they are both extremely confident in their intelligence, and at the same time, they have a more serious paranoia of victimization.
If Tony Stark's paranoia of murder is PTSD after the kidnapping in the Middle East, then the paranoia of Victor Doom, who has lived in the midst of war since childhood, is a habit that is forced to form.
That is until this guy gets a scholarship and acceptance letter from the State University of New York for his excellent grades and performance, and there he meets the genius of geniuses - Reed Richards and Susan Stone, who makes his heart flutter.
Although the relationship between Victor, Reed, and Susan is quite complicated, it is precisely in front of these two that Victor becomes less rational to think.
For example, Reed's space exploration plan was proposed before, no matter how much Reed blew it up, in fact, even if he really succeeded at the time, it was just a proof of some scientific theories.
Even if you combine the wisdom of Reed and Victor, it will be a long process to apply the theories in real life and generate commercial profits.
While lying in the hospital bed, Victor has been unable to erase the image of the monster he saw in the mirror in his mind, and even more regretted that he had always been cautious would believe Reed's nonsense so easily, and even more brain-dead to ride the big iron ball probe with them into space.
After so many changes, Victor's paranoia of victimization, who finally woke up from the sweet dream he had woven himself, not only awakened again, but also deepened.
Therefore, after discovering that the power awakened after the mutation was suddenly completely out of his control, Victor Doom's reaction was extremely strong. …
"It doesn't matter which bastard you are! It's best to let go of me right away! ”
Dum is not just talking, although the black fog is out of control, the awakened magic in his body is still there, and at this time, Doom has tried his best to get rid of the control of the black fog.
It was precisely because of Doom's strong resistance that the speed of the black mist, which had already exceeded Mach 6, began to decrease sharply, and it was about to be caught up by Laura in the rear.
"Give up your senseless resistance! Ant! If you still want to live! ”
Sensing the imminent threat, the true controller of the black fog finally got impatient.
"Hide-out-of-head guy! What qualifications do you have to say this?! If you're brave enough, come out and face me! ”
Ignoring the other party's threats, Victor Doom's resistance intensified.
"Humph! Like your mother, he's a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky! In that case, I'll take over your body completely! ”
As the gloomy voice fell, the black mist solidified again, and the speed of flight increased sharply.
Victor Doom inside the black mist was not having a good time, and under the control of the mysterious man, the black mist that was originally just surrounding him began to contact and invade his body.
If outsiders could see it, Doom's whole person at this time was trembling uncontrollably from head to toe, especially the head that was focused on by the black mist, and the purple-black tentacles formed by the condensation and transformation of the black mist were squirming rapidly from Doom's ears, nose, eyes and other parts.
Laura had already noticed the strangeness of Victor's slowing down and speeding up as he fled, and took the opportunity to follow the other party unhurriedly, always maintaining a distance of about five hundred to a thousand meters.
Laura did this because she wanted to see what the hell was trying to do with Victor Doom's body.
After the black fog solidified again, the speed quickly increased to nearly Mach 15, which was already 50 percent faster than the X-43A experimental verification machine that the Mi military spent a lot of money to build.
However, Laura, who was pursuing, only changed her form slightly, and she was able to chase after her as a phoenix avatar without any pressure, and the illusory golden light wings also increased her speed to the same level with a single fan.
"Ahhh It's you! You took my mother's soul and life! ”
In the black mist, under the pervasive erosion of hellish energy, Victor Doom, whose eyes had gradually become hollow and his resistance had gradually weakened, suddenly burst out, and the magic power that had been calm in his body boiled again.
After Dum regained his senses, he did not mobilize the magic power in his body to resist the invasion of the black mist, but actively accelerated the absorption of them into his body.
"Humph! Stupidity! Didn't you hear what the woman said? My power is not so easy to control! You even want to absorb them as a mortal? ”
Dom was not shaken by the mocking words coming from the black mist, but while feeling his own magic entangled with the demonic energy of hell in his body, he muttered something strangely sounded in his mouth.
After the last word, Doom's face hidden behind the metal mask squeezed into a hideous smile, and his eyes were full of madness.
At the same time, Laura, who was chasing after her with ease, found that the black fog surrounding Victor was suddenly greatly absorbed, and the speed of her flight also plummeted.
"What the hell is this guy up to?"
Laura also slowed down, first glancing back at the New York City complex, where there was only a small shadow left, and then turning back to Dom, who was flying slower and slower.
With priorities in mind, it's almost time to get a glimpse of the chase!
