Chapter 1695: Leading the Charge, Bang!

Half a day later, the two clones arrived.

However much Luke scratched his head over the problem, he still had to fight.

This time, they had to at least gather some intelligence on the mutant giant octopus. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they couldnt do anything when it appeared again.

Selina didnt react when she saw the Level 2 clone in the Big Dipper armor.

But when she saw that smiling mask on the Level 1 clone, she looked at Luke suspiciously.

She already knew that V was Luke.

Now that Luke was wearing the Batman suit, who was this V?

Luke leaned in close and whispered in her ear, Professional outsourcing.

Selina: Hehe.

She couldnt be bothered to look into this guys little secrets, because there were too many.

/

Over the past three years, he would reveal some things every now and then.

Selina wasnt an idiot. She knew that it was because he trusted her more and more.

When they first arrived in Houston back then, she might not necessarily have followed him so staunchly.

Their current trust was nurtured through daily work and battle together.

It was also Selinas source of confidence.

No one in the Bat Squad was as close to Luke.

At the very least, she knew a lot of Lukes secrets. The tyc.o.o.n didnt even know Lukes real ident.i.ty.

After Luke took out various parts and equipment and told the two clones to go down while he and Selina stayed on the surface, she was completely shocked. Wait, this is your plan?

Luke chuckled and whispered in her ear, Theyre immortal.

Selina: Are you kidding me?

Luke raised three fingers. I swear Im not lying.

Selina quieted down and suddenly understood why he had told Big Dipper and not her to get the scepter in the Battle of New York.

It wasnt a matter of trust, but that Big Dipper couldnt die.

Although she had the symbiosis with Gold Nugget, which practically made her immortal, the symbiosis could still be forcibly stripped away, which was different from a true immortal body.

When she understood that, she sighed listlessly and flew back to the ice house. Lets watch the live feed.

Luke smiled and went back with her, and considerately gave her a bunch of snacks and drinks.

Indeed, the two clones wouldnt die. Resummoning them would just cost him 1.1 million credit points, which was less than one tenth of what he currently had.

If he could solve a problem with money, why should he and Selina risk their lives?

The reason the two of them left no stone unturned and beat up hoodlums and took down bigshots day and night was precisely for the purpose of enjoying this one moment of safety!

Besides, the mutant giant octopus that looked like a mountain of meat was clearly a cheat. What could this cheat monster do that Luke couldnt?

Compared with Luke, for whom safety was the number one priority, the two clones had no scruples at all as they dove into the deep trench.

The Level 1 clone, in particular, took the lead and sped up.

If there was a graph, it was like two white lines headed straight for the mutant octopus.

Then bam!

The giant octopus had only just realized that something was wrong, when the human cannon that was the Level 1 clone hit it.

With the Annihilation energy attached to the giant silver blade, the Level 1 clone disappeared amidst the giant octopuss huge eyeb.a.l.l.s.

In a sense, Luke also had slight trypophobia.

When he saw these swollen things, he felt nauseated, but also couldnt help but want to poke them with something sharp and picture them exploding.

It was very soothing, like squeezing a pimple.

The giant octopus was in so much pain that its tentacles retreated to its head.

At that moment, the Level 2 clone arrived.

Seeing that there was no opportunity for a second successive hit, Luke arced around and charged in from an angle with the other giant silver blade. He slashed down at a spot slightly outside the base of a tentacle.

The silver blade was 2.5 meters long and curved, perfect for chopping.

It was made of a special material. Sharpness was secondary; the main thing was that it was very durable.

Even if the Annihilation energy on the blade was depleted, the body of the blade could still cause tremendous damage. It was very suitable for cutting down this giant octopus that was like a mountain of flesh.

The silver blade cut into the octopuss tentacle, and it felt like an ordinary person trying to cut rubber.

Luke frowned. This guys body was resistant to Elementary Annihilation?

But in the next moment, he felt the strong resistance give way it was as effortless as chopping up pork.

The silver blade cut a three-meter-long gash in the octopuss tentacle.

At a thought, the thrusters switched from an upward slant to a downward angle as Luke circled around the tentacle.

Even after the Annihilation energy on the blade was used up, it just barely severed the rest of the tentacle.

The giant octopus finally reacted, and its tentacles lashed out.

Luke retreated dozens of meters away. He grabbed the cut octopus tentacle in pa.s.sing and gave it a fierce pull.

In the end he couldnt pull it off!

The tentacle was more than five meters in diameter, and greenish-black blood bubbled around where the Annihilation energy had cut it open.

However, the wound was already starting to heal.

The Level 2 clone didnt succeed in breaking off one finger.

However, the giant octopus only had time to attack the Level 2 clone once, and couldnt pay attention to it again after that.

The Level 1 clone, whose goal was self-destruction, had crashed into the huge eyeb.a.l.l.s like a cannonball, and its mind had immediately been affected.

The mental disturbance, which had only had a minor effect 500 meters away, suddenly became over ten times stronger.

A dark, chaotic, ruthless and evil consciousness surged toward the Level 1 clone, as if to drown it.

System:

Unknown negative energy has been detected and is invading the shared mental consciousness of the Star of Justice. Activate the mind protection function for the Star of Justice?

On land, Luke was stumped for a moment, before he quickly agreed.

When he had gone down just now, he realized how his clones sensed the giant octopus was very different to what he himself felt.

If Luke was looking at it with the naked eye, then the clones were looking at it via a surveillance video.

But in everyday life, things were normal with the two clones.

Now that there was a system notification, he finally realized: Did the word justice in the Star of Justice really mean something?

As he mulled over this, his faith value, which had only increased to slightly over 50,000 in the last few months, started to fluctuate.

Luke smacked his lips. Its not too expensive, but it doesnt seem to be enough.

Thinking that, the Level 1 clone stabbed into the wall of flesh in front of it with the blade, which glowed with a light golden light.

If he didnt have enough faith, he could use points.

Since faith value could be used to protect the mind, and he had too little of it, he would use credit points.

In any case, ten million credit points should last him a long while.

As the golden color expanded over the wall of flesh, Luke smiled.

But in the next moment, the wall of flesh caved in, and the blade which the Level 1 clone was holding was pulled ten meters in.

Then bang!

The wall of flesh bounced back up, and the clone was instantly sent flying.

At the same time, the giant octopus aimed its tentacles at the Level 2 clone, and thick streams of water gushed out.
