American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Bang!

Steve Rogers raised his shield to block, and the blood shadow crashed into the shield, directly causing a strong energy explosion. Even though Captain America was prepared for the impact, he was still blown away by the unexpected explosion.

Fortunately, the golden energy coat acted as a strong and stable barrier, blocking the damage caused by the explosion. So, although Captain America looked like he was blasted away in a mess, he was not actually harmed.

"Steve?" Nick, who was agile enough to dodge out the door at the first moment, saw the Captain, who was covering his retreat, being blown away in the blink of an eye, and he shouted worriedly.

"I'm fine." Still flying in mid-air, Steve controlled the energy of the ring, flipped in the air, and hovered in mid-air. At the same time, he reached back and took off the alloy shield hanging on his back, held it in his hand, and covered it with the ring's energy.

A blood-red swift shadow left a long blood-colored afterimage in Nick's single eye, charging out of the warehouse with a fierce and desperate momentum. The gun in his hand had now turned into two energy daggers, slashing towards Captain America's neck with lightning speed.

Steve, who had also been amplified by the ring, subconsciously raised his arm holding the shield, hiding his neck and head under the shield. At the same time, he lost his forward vision.

During this period of familiarity, Steve had discovered that the ring's energy coat was not a simple protection, it was more like a layer of energy skin with extremely high protection! Like skin, touching something would bring the same sensory perception. The only difference from skin was that it would isolate all harm to the wearer.

So, when Steve didn't feel the opponent's weapon collide with his shield, he immediately realized something was wrong. Based on the needs of the battle, the danger perception, which was suddenly amplified and strengthened, instantly swept through his body.

A blood-red blade tip suddenly pierced Captain America's abdomen, making contact with the energy coat on his body.

Where the blood-red blade tip pierced, the solidity of the energy coat was almost crystallized. Just for a moment, from the blade tip piercing Captain America, before his muscles could react to counterattack, another surge of strong explosion occurred at the point of contact.

In the eyes of Nick, who was watching, this scene was like Frank, transformed into a blood shadow, had just rushed out to get close, and Captain America was blown away again by that energy explosion. The whole process was swift and extremely fast.

Nick clenched the communicator in his hand and silently used the equipment he was wearing while the blood shadow Frank was entangled with Captain America. In the darkness, his figure was quickly assimilated like a chameleon.

Perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D. is not as good as Heberon in terms of weapons and high-tech research such as the supernatural, but it still has its own unique technologies. S.H.I.E.L.D. has embarked on a unique path of agent weapon technology in this technological branch, such as agent infiltration, identity and face modification, and miniature weapons for various situations.

Just like now, he can use technology to weaken his figure, voice, smell, and presence layer by layer. He doesn't intend to interfere in the battle between two monsters with overpowered combat power, because such a monster's battlefield doesn't need a combat power like him that is dispensable! What he needs is to leave the battlefield immediately, and then call Luke to deal with and stop this trouble! Preferably as soon as possible!

Nick can't afford to lose either Captain America Steve or his old buddy Frank! Even the money he used to buy the customized Mind Ring was half-loaned and half-owed from Luke. Only by selling some of the first batch of selected collections can he make up for these deficits. Nick would have the urge to self-destruct if either of them were injured.

...

Luke received Nick's call and couldn't help but feel speechless after listening to the other party's brief description of the situation.

"I understand that you want to keep it a secret from everyone in order to have a trump card to turn the tables at a critical moment, but before that, why couldn't you ask for my opinion? Are you afraid that I would deduce something from your words?" Luke bluntly exposed Nick's thoughts.

"I thought it was the same as all your previous weapons. You know, little Luke, the weapons you make are very reliable in terms of power and safety." Nick, who was hiding in a corner, wouldn't blush, but he was a little embarrassed to have his thoughts exposed by Luke without any mercy.

"Of course the weapons I make are reliable in terms of power and safety, but only if you use them correctly according to my instructions. The problem with the Beast series equipment was the problem of private modification, and the problem with the Mind Ring was the reason why you were too self-important and concealed it."

Luke switched the communicator in his hand to another direction and continued, "I'll repeat it to you one more time, this new energy is as dangerous as the power of the demons. It resonates with a person's strong and persistent emotions, and it can also amplify the person's corresponding emotions after resonating and merging! Conversely, the more the wearer's emotions are amplified, the greater the erosion and influence on his spirit will be, and at the same time, the power will continue to grow. During this period, if he endlessly squeezes himself and climbs the energy, then when he reaches a certain limit, he will completely become a part of the energy and become a puppet representing this energy emotion. The rings I gave you have all been castrated and filtered by me. They may easily touch the barrier of energy climbing, but they are relatively safe.

I don't know if the success of those mass-produced rings and the Captain's experiment gave you the wrong perception that the Mind Ring is not dangerous. The customized ring I gave you is completely different from the mass-produced version. The mass-produced version is a unified filtered energy, stable, safe, and has less burden on the human spirit, but it has no characteristics. The customized version is also known as the Identification Ring. It will identify and amplify a person's emotions. Similarly, its power and characteristics are beyond the reach of the mass-produced version."

"The situation is urgent now, little Luke, you can talk about these things later, I need help now," Nick said with a dark face.

"Can't help."

As soon as Luke said a word, Nick's heart suddenly turned cold. It was like his most valued and trusted subordinate was seriously injured and sent to the hospital, and the doctor told him in front of him, "Can't be saved, just wait for death."

"I can publicly sell you some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s core dangerous items!" Nick said through gritted teeth. He firmly believed that Luke must have a means and method to solve the problem.

"I've heard of the Cosmic Cube," Luke said tentatively.

"That's impossible!" Nick's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he refused with an extremely firm tone. "Listen, I don't know where you learned about the existence of the Cosmic Cube, but that kind of thing cannot be sold! That is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s truly non-selling item!"

"I haven't said what I want to do yet," Luke shook his head, not taking Nick's sensitivity seriously.

"It's very dangerous, Luke."

"New energy is also very dangerous."

Bang!

Another violent explosion sounded over there.

"You really have to come and help solve the problem, otherwise the situation may get out of control."

"That's your problem."

"I know. But the Cosmic Cube is impossible."

"The incident was caused because you didn't follow the instructions and the reminder of the manufacturer, I can help. But remember what you promised me, and the favor you owe me," Luke said.

The test report of the Gold of Tolerance has been obtained, and it seems that the excellent sample of the Red of Anger can also be recycled and tested. With the Captain around, the situation is so urgent, it seems that Nick's second ring candidate is also particularly outstanding in combat experience and emotional will.

Nick, who hung up the phone, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The short few minutes of conversation were simply a torment for him.

...

Steve marveled at the fighting skills of the Blood Shadow Frank. The opponent's combat experience and skills were among the most outstanding he had ever seen! He finally understood why Nick favored and trusted this man.

But Steve's physical fitness and mental will were even more superior! If Frank was the human soldier with the highest single-soldier combat power, then Captain America could be said to be cheating compared to them.

The Super Soldier Serum not only amplified his physique, but also amplified his emotions and will! In addition, he got the ring earlier than Frank, and was familiar with its functions earlier under Luke's arrangement and guidance, so after the initial suppression, the Captain was able to adjust his state quickly and fight back and forth with the Blood Shadow Frank.

Golden energy beams and blood-red beast-shaped phantoms scurried back and forth between the two. Under the gaze of Nick, who had dodged to a distance, it was like two light clusters, one gold and one red, were constantly colliding.

After a series of fights, the Captain was now somewhat familiar with the characteristics of this blood-red energy, and summarized some of the opponent's attack skills and methods.

The blood-red energy was violent and unstable. Compared with his energy, it was more lethal and destructive. What was even more tricky was that each attack transformed by this energy was equivalent to placing a tracking mark on the opponent. No matter how you dodge, you would inevitably be hit by the opponent's next attack. And no matter how you dodge to where, or flash in the opponent's blind spot, it would be useless. As long as you still have the tracking mark on your body, your position and actions are almost all under the observation of the opponent's energy perception.

Nowhere to hide, and no way to escape.

Captain America had accelerated to the sky at full speed to pull away a long distance, but the mark still would not disappear. And the opponent's attack would hit him with an incredible, flash-like speed. As for the attack routines and methods, in addition to the convenience of various weapon shaping common to energy, and the high-intensity amplification of physical fitness, the Blood Shadow Frank has only shown two types so far. One is that each attack that falls on the body will cause a strong explosion. The other is that the mark will be stored on the marked target and superimposed. Currently, what Frank can do should be to superimpose it twice, and then detonate it in the next attack.

The lethality will increase several times in an instant. If it weren't for the energy coat on his body, relying solely on his shield, perhaps he wouldn't be able to last long under the opponent's attack. However, the most thrilling time, the energy coat on his body was blasted out of energy ripples, and he gritted his teeth to increase the energy output and persevered.

According to Luke's theory, the more firm the mental will, the stronger a certain emotion, the more instantaneous energy can be used through the ring, but it is best not to increase the energy indefinitely. Some negative emotional energy, in addition to having more threatening and lethal power, is also easier to make the wearer a part of it.

Blood Shadow Frank is walking this path of no return. His power is constantly climbing. As long as the Captain blocks his attack, the intensity of his next wave of attacks will inevitably increase. And the attack method that cannot be dodged once hit also forces the Captain to increase the energy output together. What is especially terrible is that those blood shadow energy, after reaching a certain level, have a new characteristic in addition to the explosion. That is erosion and pollution!

Or rather, it is the infectivity and resonance of emotions!

Yes, the opponent's attack can not only explode, but also erode and pollute people's spirits, and awaken the anger and desire to fight in their hearts.

The Captain is now able to detect this change because his mental energy is somewhat incompatible with the fanatical, violent, and chaotic characteristics of the blood shadow, so after being affected, he quickly felt this subtle influence from the changes in his own energy. He couldn't imagine how tragic the scene would be if he didn't have the Mind Ring, if the Blood Shadow Frank was facing other soldiers!

Steve was able to reaffirm his will and stabilize his emotions by relying on the characteristics of energy, but it is difficult for others without corresponding rings to do this. Especially now, he not only has to increase energy to deal with Frank's unavoidable attacks, but also needs to separate a strand of energy to deal with that fanatical infectivity and maintain his own calmness.

Now Steve can only pray that under this high-intensity battle, the opponent's mental will can best persist until Luke arrives. Or pray that he can wake up the Blood Shadow Frank, who is like a mad dog, from the state of being out of control before Luke arrives, and restore his consciousness. But the latter is difficult to do in a short time.

Don't look at the thrilling fight between the two, and the aftermath of the golden and red energy explosions are also strong and gorgeous, but both of them are still in a state of almost no injuries. Steve did use some kind of skill to penetrate the blood-colored energy coat and injure the Blood Shadow Frank, but soon, the wound on the opponent's body recovered as usual with the blood-colored coverage.

And this method had no effect on the Blood Shadow Frank the second time. The opponent's combat experience is really too rich. With the current combat intensity, Captain America feels that there is no problem for the two of them to fight for three days and three nights.

A ball of energy sparks appeared in the air in front of Nick, and then rotated and expanded into a portal. Luke and Mage Wang walked out of the portal. Seeing the arrival of Luke and Mage Wang, a relieved expression finally appeared on Nick's face. Although he didn't expect Luke to be able to have the mage send him over with a portal, he was very satisfied with this support efficiency and extremely envious.

"It's a fierce fight," Luke didn't talk to Nick after coming out, but raised his eyes and saw the two light and shadows in the distant sky that were constantly colliding and fighting, and said with emotion.

"Let's get down to business," Sorcerer Wang said, shaking his head. Although sorcerers are usually unwilling to deal with such matters, strictly speaking, the uncontrolled nature of this new energy is indeed something that warrants his attention. After all, he is one of the managers of this new energy.

"What are you going to do?" Nick asked, stepping forward.

"Naturally, we'll pull them into a space that doesn't affect reality to resolve this. Also," Sorcerer Wang looked at Nick and sighed, "Next time, be sure to read the instructions carefully."

Hearing this, Nick immediately glanced at Luke, who was intently watching the mid-air above, seemingly captivated by the two intertwined figures of light and shadow.

"Are you going to participate?" Sorcerer Wang asked Nick before taking action.

"Of course." Nick nodded. Those two up there are his hard-earned combat forces, and he wouldn't be at ease unless he saw how things were resolved with his own eyes.

"Then remember to stand behind me." Sorcerer Wang opened his hands, and the air seemed to ripple, enveloping the ground beneath their feet and the two entangled figures in the air.

The Mirror Dimension of the Supreme Mage lineage.
