Chapter 281 Battle for the Cape 24

At this point, and with that said, Shiva had approved of Feng Bujue’s ’capability’. Even though the man before him was not in the top ten combat ranking, perhaps even not even on the top thirty, he obviously had something that might even place him above those in the top ten list. Utilizing the resources of the scenario and the rules to the maximum, setting up a plan and putting it into action to place himself at the advantage—these were very normal and exceptionally clever movements. As long as he did not borrow external software to cheat, the man did nothing wrong. Intellect and brilliance were part of one’s ability.

A strong person should have the air of a strong person and should learn to appreciate the capability and strength of others. Continually finding excuses to console oneself would lead to nowhere. Walking the straight and narrow, sticking to one’s path to the end, that was the way of the strong. As the leader of Brahman, and one of the few strongest players in the gaming world, Shiva naturally had the understanding and attitude of a strong person. The mental attack earlier was his last trump card. Since it failed, he had given up the chance of winning the battle without blowing up the bomb.

At that moment, Shiva had approved of Feng Bujue. He believed that dying together with an enemy of this standard was no humiliation. Therefore, Shiva did not care whether the fuel air explosive was a bluff or not. He threw everything into his attack and tried to demolish the man on a physical level.

On Feng Bujue’s side, he felt greatly unsettled. He managed to analyze the man’s intention from his gaze, words, and actions—Even if the bomb explodes, I will have to kill you.

This situation was what Feng Bujue wanted to avoid because the bomb he had was real...

As the weakest member in this Killing Game, the biggest advantage that he had was the understanding that these big characters would not deign to die with him. After King of Shadows and Understanding Death perished, the victory possibility for the other players had risen, so they should have been more careful with their lives. Feng Bujue really did not expect the player ranked second on the ranking list to use his life to play this game with him.

"Jesus Christ... can you please not act so rashly? If the bomb explodes, we’ll both die. You’re the boss of Brahman, and I am just a nobody..." When Feng Bujue spoke, he realized that his feet were slowly being lifted from the ground. The heavy armor, the Freeze Ray Gun that weighed several dozen kilograms, and Feng Bujue inside the armor were slowly floating into the air.

Shiva interrupted Feng Bujue and smirked. "It does not matter. I believe... with your ability, it won’t take long for you to be as famous as I am."

Hearing that, Feng Bujue’s heart chilled. The man did not seem to be bluffing.

———

Name: Null-G Contact

Special Power Property: Active

Consumption: Twenty percent of maximum Stamina Point

Effect: Make a certain ’object’ that is in contact lose the pull of gravity and float (Cooldown is one hour and will last for one minute. The target has to be smaller than twenty cubic meters, and it cannot be the user.)

Remark: If you are a fighting expert, you will understand that if your enemy is floating in the air, it means that you can unleash endless skills (similar to corner pressure in Street Fighter).

This skill was given by Shiva’s title ’Field Master’. He had obtained this title through his state of serenity and ease during battle. In Team Mode, a teammate like Shiva would be a calming and reassuring presence. The reassurance that a player at his level could give his teammate could not be quantified by the system. As long as he was around, even if he did not do anything, his teammates would feel much relaxed. For example, what if there were two soccer teams, one with Ferguson in the coaching seat and the other team with Camacho? In a sticky situation or if there was an accidental referee interference, which team would panic more? It should be quite plain to see.

"Then I have no choice..." Feng Bujue tried to adjust his angle in the air, and six seconds later, he only managed to turn the barrel of the freeze ray gun downward. But before he fired, Shiva had already changed his stance. Even so, Feng Bujue pulled on the trigger, and the light beam shot out. After all, this was AOE damage; the aim did not need to be accurate.

"Humph... This is such a desperate attack." With the previous experience, Shiva easily jumped far away from the beam, but hitting Shiva was not Feng Bujue’s intention. With the pulsing beam, Brother Jue was propelled backward by the rebound into the sky.

"Oh? So that’s what you’re planning... Haha... you really cannot put your guard down at all." Shiva laughed and took out a rocket launcher from his inventory.

Feng Bujue soon reached a height of several hundred meters aboveground. He could clearly see that the enemy had raised the RPG at him, but with the loss of gravity around him, he could not turn or run.

This is not good... If I am hit directly by this kind of anti-tank weapon, even the cold armor won’t resist it, Feng Bujue thought. Once the outside layer is shattered, the flame and explosion will rush in, and even if I don’t die, the bomb will explode...

"Goodbye..." At a location that was far from the beam of the freeze ray, Shiva quickly locked onto his target and fired the rocket.

Here, this author shall briefly explain the workings of RPGs. When it is fired, the gunpowder inside the chamber is ignited, and it pushes the rocket out from the launcher. The rocket first travels at 117 meters per second for 0.1 second. About eleven meters later, the rocket itself activates and opens the stabilizing fin. The rocket then spins, which increases the speed to 294 meters per second as it hits its target.

In comparison to that, Feng Bujue’s movement speed was much too slow, and he was inside the heavy armor. In zero gravity, he had no purchase, and it was hard to even adjust the angle of the freeze ray gun, so it was impossible for him to use the gun to intercept the rocket.

As the match was about to end, there was another change. To everyone’s surprise, a batarang came spinning, and it knocked at the head of the rocket right before it reached top speed, causing it to prematurely explode. This was perfect. Feng Bujue was unharmed, but Shiva himself lost quite some Life Points from the close explosion.

"You..." Fire rose up Shiva’s heart, and he raised his eyes to glare in the direction that the batarang had come from.

Jason Todd had moved several times, and he was currently standing on the rooftop of a building next to Shiva. The coarse voice said, "Idiot, if the bomb on him explodes in midair, one third of Gotham will be leveled, and both of us will die here."

"If you want to stop me..." Shiva already had parts of Heavenly Hourglass fly toward Todd. "Then die!"

At that moment, the six plates fired lasers at Todd from multiple angles. At that moment, a figure flashed forward and waved the blades he was holding. The blue and red flames carved out beautiful lines in the air, and they deflected all the lasers shot by the stone plates.

"Tsk... Mind your own business," Todd grumbled.

Angel of Death stood next to him and said with some degree of sarcasm, "You’re welcome."

At the same time, with two howling winds, two sharp wind tunnels shot at Shiva. Shiva reacted quickly and leaped backward to evade the attack. He turned and saw that it was two net-bullets that had brushed past him, landing on the nearby building.

The vehicle screeched to the halt. The legendary Batmobile came from the direction where the net-bullet came from. The back tires ground on the asphalt and stopped about twenty meters away from Shiva. One had to admit that the vehicle was handsome, and its appearance could be summed up as ’elegance on the down low and hidden ferocity’. When it came out from the darkness, it was quick to announce its presence. The door opened, and Mr. Damian—the fifth Robin and the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul—and Squire—a female superhero called Hutchinson and the sidekick of Knight—leaped out from the car.

"Traveler from another world, I’d advise you to stand down," Damian warned.

Shiva replied with a smirk and loaded the launcher with another rocket.

"We have already captured one of your partners. I believe you should know each other," the Squire said as she opened the backdoor of the Batmobile. There was a girl sitting in there, but Shiva did not recognize her. He immediately came to realize that this strangely-dressed young girl with an eastern face should be one of the players. Thus, who else could she be but Not a Scaredy Cat?

"Hahaha..." Shiva laughed loudly.

Seeing that, the girl’s expression shifted. She caught the hostility instantly and screamed, "Let me go now..."

Boom!

The rocket launcher fired, and the Batmobile was blown into the sky. Damian and the Squire rolled to safety and away from the explosion, but Not a Scaredy Cat was not that lucky. Her hands were tied, and she was attached to the seat. Before she could say her last words, she was blown back to the log-in lobby.

A man was not going to care about the details, so after the rocket fired, Shiva had already turned to face Feng Bujue.

"I’ve told you guys many times..." Shiva had finally entered a state of bloodlust. "I am not with them."

At that moment, Null-G Contact’s effect ended, and Feng Bujue was rapidly falling from the sky.

Shiva reloaded, aimed, and fired. Before the superheroes could recover from the previous rocket, another rocket was shot out. With a trail of white smoke behind it, it arced nicely though the night sky. Under the glow of the moon, it flew into the sky, and with everyone watching, it hit the cold armor.
