152: Chapter 152 He is a Calamity
Wang Lin spoke: "It's a bit ugly; it lacks any artistic flair."
Iron Demon's voice came from within the Iron Giant's body: "It doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as it can kill you."
The Iron Giant's fist rose and smashed down toward Wang Lin.
A giant hand, formed from countless metal fragments, was larger than Wang Lin himself.
Before the fist arrived, the wind reached him first. Wang Lin's hair was blown backward, and his clothes flapped violently.
Vajra Transformation could not block it, because the Iron Giant was too large and could completely flatten Wang Lin.
Within a fraction of a second, Wang Lin's body turned into a mass of black mist, and the giant hand passed right through the black mist.
The black mist re-condensed, and Wang Lin had already appeared behind the Iron Giant.
The Iron Giant didn't turn around; a slit opened in its back, and countless metal spikes shot out from the opening, firing toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's body twisted like a snake, sliding through the gaps between the spikes, not a single one hitting him.
Iron Demon knew he couldn't do anything about Wang Lin.
His fist couldn't hit him, the metal spikes couldn't reach him, his Speed couldn't keep up with him, and he couldn't even touch that accursed Shadow Shapeshifting.
He couldn't kill him, but he could kill others, and then deal with Wang Lin later.
The Iron Giant's body spun abruptly and smashed down toward the most densely packed area of the crowd.
Wang Lin's expression instantly turned cold; this was the second time Iron Demon had challenged his bottom line.
He activated his Wind Ability and Speed Ability, and his entire body shot toward Iron Demon like a streak of black lightning.
Iron Demon spun violently, and that giant hand smashed fiercely toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin couldn't react in time; he had charged too fast and was too close, so the fist slammed into him.
His body flew backward like a stone shot from a slingshot, crashing into rubble and sliding several meters.
A large crater was smashed into the ground, rubble flying and dust filling the air.
Wang Lin crawled out of the crater, kneeling on one knee, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth as he looked at Iron Demon:
"You've made me very angry… so the consequences will be severe."
Iron Demon laughed loudly: "Consequences will be severe? How severe? Come, come, tell me quickly."
"Are you going to say again that your physics teacher said this or that…?"
The Iron Giant took a step forward.
"To tell you the truth, even if your physics teacher came here, they wouldn't be able to break my defense, not in front of my absolute defense."
Wang Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a cyan light lit up under his feet. He activated his [ Wind Element ] Superpower.
His body slowly rose, facing the Iron Demon's Iron Giant head-on.
Wang Lin looked at him and said with a smile: "Iron Demon, do you know Pikachu?"
Iron Demon was stunned for a moment. What was Pikachu?
"Pikachu? Is that your physics teacher?"
"Hahaha… so what? No one can break my defense."
Having said that, Iron Demon commanded the Iron Giant to raise its fist and smash it toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin charged toward that fist as well.
Before the fist arrived, the wind reached him first. His hair was blown backward, and his clothes flapped violently.
Just at the moment the fist was about to hit him, his body turned into a mass of black mist and passed through the gaps between the fingers.
The black mist drifted to the top of the Iron Giant's head and re-condensed into human form.
Wang Lin knelt on one knee on top of the Iron Giant's head, pressing both hands onto the cold metal surface. Purple light began to condense from his fingertips.
"…100,000 Volts…"
Purple lightning exploded from Wang Lin's palms, traveling down from the top of the Iron Giant's head, flowing from the head to the neck, from the neck to the chest, and from the chest to the arms, abdomen, thighs, and soles of the feet.
Steel is a man-made object; metal conducts electricity. In the face of thunder and lightning, there are no exceptions.
Iron Demon's screams emanated from inside the Iron Giant's body, not squeezed out from his throat, but emanating from the depths of his soul.
The lightning lasted for a full thirty seconds; Iron Demon was electrocuted for a full thirty seconds inside that metal shell.
He couldn't move and couldn't escape; that metal became his best conductor and also his best cage.
Thirty seconds later, the Iron Giant collapsed. That silvery-white liquid metal fell off Iron Demon, clattering to the ground.
Iron Demon fell from dozens of meters in the air, crashing onto the ground, face up, smoke still rising from his mouth, his hair standing on end, his body charred black.
His eyes were still open, pupils dilated, in disbelief: "W-why… why do you still have a lightning Superpower…"
Wang Lin landed, hands in his pockets, walked up to Iron Demon, and looked down at him:
"Did your physics teacher also tell you that metal conducts electricity?"
Hearing Wang Lin's words, Iron Demon's mouth twitched, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Lin continued, "I said it, the consequences would be severe. You shouldn't have insulted the physics teacher either."
Wang Lin squatted down, leaned close to Iron Demon, and said in a low voice: "By the way, I'll tell you a secret: I was the physics class representative back in the day…"
Iron Demon's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
It wasn't from being hit; it was from being enraged.
Wang Lin stood up, extended his right hand, his palm split open, and a Tentacle crawled out.
It wrapped around Iron Demon's waist and lifted him into mid-air.
Iron Demon's body struggled within the Tentacle, but he had no strength left; he was charred black, his left arm was broken, his Superpower was exhausted, and even his iron hook was shattered.
"I intended to leave your corpse intact, but you made me very angry today, so I have decided to eat you."
Iron Demon's pupils contracted violently; he screamed desperately and struggled frantically.
Wang Lin's mouth opened, the corners of his mouth almost splitting to his ears.
Inside his mouth was not a pink oral cavity, but a bottomless darkness.
Iron Demon's body was sent into that darkness by the Tentacle and disappeared.
Wang Lin's mouth closed, his Adam's apple moved once, as if swallowing a mouthful of water.
Wang Lin closed his eyes, feeling the new power flowing into his body.
Iron Demon's [ Metal Throne ] took root in his Dantian, like a dark red seed that had taken root.
Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.
Dark red light swirled at his fingertips, and the [ Metal Throne ] pulsed in his palm.
Wang Lin liked this Superpower very much, not because it could control metal, but because it was cool and flashy enough.
Just ask yourself, is 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Ancestor' cool? Is a fifty-meter-tall Gundam Robot cool?
Wang Lin was already thinking about what to use it for; first, he would build a small Iron Man Robot to test the waters, installing a small energy cannon in the palm, a thruster on the soles of the feet, and an Arc Reactor in the chest.
As for the Gundam… no rush, there's plenty of time.
Just as Wang Lin was secretly pleased with himself, the people who had been rescued began to retreat.
Their eyes looked at Wang Lin as if looking at a monster, a monster even more terrifying than Iron Demon.
Iron Demon killed people, but Wang Lin ate people.
"Calamity… he is a Calamity…" It was unknown who shouted first, the voice sharp, like a pig being slaughtered.
