Without the help of the Power of Thunderbolt, Rex's power was greatly weakened. He could only fight head-on with the mimetic weapon by his own strength.

In a short time, it was difficult to distinguish who would be the winner. Still, Steve was confident, as the mimetic weapon was both a matter and spiritual body, making it immune to the Power of Thunderbolt. Moreover, it could absorb the cosmic force automatically and maintain itself in a strong state!

As such, there would be a time when Rex's original force would be exhausted, but the original force of the mimetic weapon would never be exhausted! In fact, if the weapon was carried by one's side, it was equivalent to an additional constant source of original force, which could never be exhausted!

Of course, the speed whereby the mimetic weapon provided the original force had to be slower than the speed that it absorbed the original force. Otherwise, the original force would also be exhausted.

Antonio looked upset. Before Steve launched his attack, he had managed to hold down two people with his weapons, causing the veterans team to be reduced to a three-man team from a five-man team.

"The three of you are not my worthy opponents," Steve said to Antonio in a calm tone.

"You're too confident. I'm different from Benson. You can't beat me!" Antonio's body suddenly became huge, his muscles bulging. His aura was even getting stronger even than before. With two red knives in his hands, he looked like a mighty devil.

Boom!

Antonio suddenly rushed forward. He had a knife in his right hand and was slas.h.i.+ng forward. His strong power split the surrounding air and a loud explosion could be heard. His domineering ferocity and irresistible force almost split Steve in two, as Steve was not using his Protective Energy s.h.i.+eld to fend off Antonio's attack.

Whooshhhhhhh…

Six Ice Wing Flying Knives crossed together to form a snowflake-shaped iron s.h.i.+eld to block the attack.

Boom!

Powerful forces collapsed, and the Ice Wing Flying Knives were repulsed. Steve was blown three meters away by the huge impact.

"What ma.s.sive power… It's at least 5% stronger than before..." Steve was shocked.

"Data collection… Antonio used a temporary incremental armor, and his strength increased by 8%. Master, please do not go head-to-head with him," The Heart of the Universe instantly a.n.a.lyzed.

A 7% increase in strength meant that Antonio was stronger than Steve in terms of strength! Though Steve's basic cell value was only 300 points, there was an increment of 21%. Thus, his strength had reached 363 points, which was also an improvement as compared to his previous basic cell value of 350 points.

Antonio's basic cell value had increased by 7%, placing it at 350 points, and his strength had reached 378 points, which was 18 points stronger than Steve's. Thus, Antonio had an advantage in terms of strength. So if they were to go head-to-head with each other, Steve would be at a disadvantage.

Knowing this, Steve immediately chose to withdraw and not confront Antonio.

Swis.h.!.+

But then, Antonio's left-handed knife swept across the s.p.a.ce all of a sudden. The ferocity of its approach was enough to split steel.

The Ice Wing Armor blocked the first attack, but was not in time to block the second attack. Just then, Steve responded quickly. The wings behind the Silver Shark Armor flapped and immediately retreated.

Boom…

Suddenly, the ground began to move like liquid, and a stone wall rose behind Steve, blocking him. Not only was there a wall behind his back, but there was also one on his right side, preventing him from escaping.

"Parkes again..." Steve looked over and saw that Parkes had controlled the earth to form a stone wall to block his escape route.

Steve changed his direction and was ready to flee the attack by flying upwards...

"You can't run away!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout that came from above. Helena had just descended from above with a sharp sword in her hand. Now, even the route above him was blocked!
