Chapter 498: Escape, The Crazy Harley Quinn
In a short amount of time, it devoured the surrounding matter.
Since the Underworld became a colony of the Tang Group, Presider Lane oversaw the large-scale immigration to the Underworld. These Dark Creatures, subordinates of the Dark Council, thrived in the Underworld like fish in water, their numbers rapidly expanding like cockroaches.
Furthermore, the Tang Group relocated many large military factories, shipyards, and training bases to the Underworld.
This further compressed the living space of the Dark Elves who had fortunately survived.
Under Boss Tang's directives to 'invite guests, take in dogs, and decapitate', the Dark Elves fighting guerrilla warfare were dealt with in batches: some were recruited, others were fought against. A portion of Malekith's loyalists were eliminated, becoming brothers in the Myriad Souls Banner.
Another portion of the Dark Elves were divided and absorbed, becoming employees of the Tang Group. The surrender of these Dark Elves also brought the Tang Group a lot of technology unique to the Dark Elf Civilization.
For example, the manufacturing technology for Dark Curvature Spaceships and Black Hole Grenades! The Black Hole Grenade in Harley Quinn's hand was exchanged from the Exchange List. The palm-sized grenade was spray-painted with a red and white clown smile face by her.
The scarlet lips looked as if they were painted with blood.
Boom—
The Dragon's Breath, covering a range of over ten meters, spewed golden-yellow flames that almost turned night into daytime. The scorching heat even melted the stone slabs on the ground into crystal.
Constantine had relied on this technique to kill countless Demons who had escaped from Hell to the Mortal Realm, turning them into walking torches! Finally, they were burned into wisps of green smoke.
However, Constantine didn't expect this Dragon's Breath technique to cause damage to the mysterious woman before him.
From the powerful energy fluctuation emanating from this "woman", he could sense that she was clearly an existence on the same level as the First of the Fallen and Lucifer, like a Demon God of Hell. Such beings were truly at the pinnacle even in Heaven and Hell.
Such beings, even just a trace of consciousness, were enough to easily overwhelm the souls of mortals and turn large areas into an Infernal Realm.
Constantine had dealt with many "Important Figures" and knew that compared to these beings, let alone his makeshift Dragon's Breath, even a real giant dragon was like a cat or dog.
So from the start, Constantine knew that the lethality of Dragon's Breath against this woman was basically negligible!
His truly hidden killing move was the nine treasured swords hidden in the shadow of the Dragon's Breath flames! According to the description on the Reincarnation Space's Contribution Points Exchange List, these nine treasured swords were all top-tier Magic Tools. The Nine Child Ghost Swords, when combined into a set, could erupt with the power of a half-step Magic Treasure.
After obtaining this set of Magic Tools, Constantine had once summoned an old enemy to test the swords. That high-rank demon, whose name was famous even in Hell, only lasted three exchanges in his hands before being cut down by his swords. Even its soul was fed to the nine Malevolent Spirits within the nine treasured swords! Constantine was very confident in the Nine Child Ghost Swords. He was confident that this technique was something the woman before him absolutely could not dodge.
"Boom!"
But to Constantine's surprise, Acha did not dodge his attack at all, whether it was the Dragon's Breath or the nine treasured swords hidden within the Dragon's Breath.
The scorching flames, capable of melting steel into molten iron, easily covered King of the Underworld Cha Cha, who was wearing a black dress. Amidst the rising flames, the nine black lines formed by the nine treasured swords intersected and pierced into Acha's body.
As the golden-yellow flames rose and the Nine Child Ghost Swords intersected and cut into her body, Acha's voice sounded again amidst the dazzling firelight. Her tone was like that of a simple young girl seeing something new.
"This flame is very warm, it's really nice. You don't see such warm flames in the Underworld. That place has been dark and desolate for thousands of years!"
"These swords are good, but refining Magic Tools with souls is a great sin in the Underworld. According to the law, you should be thrown into the Iron Mountain Hell and never reincarnate!" The simple young girl's tone changed, like a high and mighty Queen!
Acha, in her black dress, held several small swords in her left hand that looked like they were polished from bone. She walked out of the flames completely unharmed. Flames bloomed at her feet, and she looked like a black rose walking out of the fire.
Constantine used all his spiritual and mental power to try and control the few white bone swords, but those small swords were as if pressed down by a great mountain. No matter how he tried to control them, they remained motionless.
"Hmph!" Acha felt the pulsing of the nine small swords in her Palm. She gripped with her five slender fingers. As a mass of black mist enveloped the few small swords in her hand, Constantine felt as if a several-hundred-pound hammer had struck him in the chest. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Little girl, this thing looks very dangerous, don't keep it with you."
Acha glanced sideways at the flying Black Hole Grenade, a look of disdain on her face. She raised her hand and hooked a finger lightly! The Black Hole Grenade was immediately enveloped by an invisible force and landed in her Palm!
Acha lowered her head and looked at the Black Hole Grenade in her hand. Under her gaze, the Black Hole Grenade exploded with a bang.
Under the gaze of Constantine and Harley Quinn, the shockwave from the Black Hole Bomb's explosion compressed the air into a Hole the height of a person. The Black Hole instantly enveloped Acha.
"It worked!" Constantine wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his gaze fixed on the Black Hole created by the grenade. The next moment, his expression changed from anticipation to extreme panic—
Because in the Black Hole, that familiar voice sounded again in the darkness.
"Heh heh, what interesting power. The power of Western Magic, the flying swords of a demon cultivator, and now this Alien Weaponry. I'm becoming more and more curious about your origins?!"
"Can you satisfy my curiosity?"
Da da da da—
The artificial Black Hole formed by the Black Hole Grenade only lasted for less than a second before dissipating. In the darkness, the sound of high heels clicking on stone slabs echoed! Acha walked out of the darkness again. She looked at Constantine and Harley Quinn, and beneath her veil, her bright eyes were filled with impatience.
"Rip!"
When Constantine saw with his own eyes that this woman had withstood the Black Hole Bomb completely unharmed, he quickly pulled a Scroll from his Trench Coat Pocket and tore it open!
With the tearing sound of the Parchment Scroll, the surrounding energy transformed into hundreds of lightning bolts, each as thick as a finger and thousands of meters long, converging towards Constantine from all directions, making his body glow brightly and transparently, like a giant light bulb.
With a hum, the lightning directly transformed into a massive, azure Magic Array phantom at his feet. The phantom flickered, and Constantine's figure flashed, appearing several kilometers away—
From tearing open the Dark Flash Magic Scroll, said to have been jointly empowered by Speaker Selina of the Dark Council and thirteen Councillors, in just two breaths, Constantine had crossed most of the Magic City's City District, escaping to the Rooftop of a building forty kilometers away.
"Your companion seems to have abandoned you!"
Acha merely glanced in the Direction Constantine had fled, seemingly with no intention of pursuing him. Beneath her veil, her beautiful eyes looked at Harley Quinn with interest, as if she found her very interesting.
"I'll give you one last chance! Kneel! I will consider sparing your life!"
Harley Quinn looked at the powerful woman before her, pulling her lips into a wide grin. "Don't misunderstand, that bastard Scum-Constantine isn't my companion. We just happened to be on the same mission! But bitch! Your damned tone reminds me of an annoying woman!"
"You dare to curse me!"
Beneath the veil, a flush of red flashed across King of the Underworld Cha Cha's face! Clearly, the shockwave from the Black Hole Grenade's explosion just now had caused her some damage.
Acha was very strong. As the Lord of the Underworld, she certainly wasn't something a single Black Hole Grenade could harm.
But the problem was, she was currently heavily injured. The damage Tang Song had inflicted on her was like a bone-gnawing maggot, constantly eroding her body.
Furthermore, she hadn't expected there to be weapons capable of creating Black Holes, and she had been arrogant enough to withstand the Black Hole Grenade with her body, which caused her previously barely suppressed injuries to flare up.
This was also the reason she didn't pursue the fleeing Constantine. "Bitch! I knew you couldn't take that grenade so easily!"
Harley Quinn keenly noticed the change in Acha's complexion beneath her veil. She pulled out a metal baseball bat painted with flowers, and rushed towards the woman before her in a few steps. Raising the baseball bat high in her hands, she swung it down towards Acha's head.
But just as Harley Quinn rushed in front of her, gripping the baseball bat tightly with both hands and raising it high, Acha's eyes swept over her without dodging.
"Snap."
Harley Quinn's action of swinging the bat down suddenly became stiff at this moment.
And the baseball bat was now less than three inches away from Acha's head.
Harley Quinn gritted her teeth, trying hard to swing the baseball bat down and smash the head of the bitch before her like a watermelon, but she couldn't do it.
Her will was still clear, but her body was like a broken string, unable to be manipulated.
And as Acha's five fingers lightly flicked in the air, Harley Quinn, like a marionette, performed a rather comical dance in front of her.
Yes, doing splits in the air, rolling, constantly rotating, and jumping.
Harley Quinn performed high-difficulty dances and acrobatics for over ten minutes under the flicking of Acha's fingers, until Acha got tired of playing.
After regaining control of her body, Harley Quinn was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the Ground in a sorry state.
"Who gave you the courage to challenge me?"
Acha stepped on Harley Quinn's hand holding the baseball bat, squatted down, grabbed her pigtails, and pulled her head up.
Harley Quinn glared fiercely at Acha, showing no fear. Instead, she grinned, her stretched lips just like her nickname—Harley Quinn!
However, despite Harley Quinn's crazy performance, as the Lord of the Underworld, Acha had seen countless souls, including Arhats who had achieved enlightenment and Resentful Ghosts who couldn't bear their suffering!
Harley Quinn's performance at most piqued her interest slightly!
She looked at Harley Quinn's unyielding gaze, reached out a finger to lift her chin, and examined Harley Quinn's eyes, which were like cat's eye gemstones, with interest.
"Hmm, very beautiful eyes! I'll consider digging out these eyes of yours to add to my collection!"
"You want my eyes? No way, these are precious things I had transplanted for five thousand Contribution Points!" Harley Quinn replied to Acha with a crazy smile on her face!
The next second, two crimson Optic Blasts shot out from her eyes, hitting Acha directly in the face.
Two red lights pierced through the back of her head—
"Your eyes are quite interesting!"
Acha was caught off guard by the Optic Blasts emitted from Harley Quinn's eyes. Her veil was directly pierced with two Holes. Under the impact of the Optic Blasts, she tilted her entire body backward.
The back of her head was directly pierced by the Optic Blasts, but there was no brain matter or blood splattering out. Only a mass of black mist surged at her wound, and within the faintly visible black mist, the wound on her body silently healed.
"Of course they're interesting, I paid a lot of money for these eyes!" Having succeeded with one strike, Harley Quinn rolled backward, retreating over ten steps to put distance between herself and Acha.
At the same time, she shouldered an army green rocket launcher. While giggling, she pulled the trigger towards Acha.
Acha touched her forehead, confirming that Harley Quinn's attack just now hadn't damaged her appearance. Then, she casually waved her hand.
A long whip of black mist, swung from the air, whistled down. With a crack, the rocket fired at her was blown up in mid-air.
Harley Quinn threw away the rocket launcher in her hand, rolled on the ground, narrowly dodging the whipping long whip. Then, she grabbed into her Hundred Treasures Pouch and casually threw a handful of skeleton bone beads towards King of the Underworld Cha Cha.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
Over twenty bone beads wrapped in black mist transformed into over twenty skeleton demons in the air. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, spitting poison smoke towards Acha.
However, Harley Quinn displaying skeleton demons, which were Magic Tools refined with souls, in front of Acha, the Lord of the Underworld, was undoubtedly like showing off one's meager skill before an expert.
She didn't even need any action. She just lightly snapped her finger. The green phosphorescent fire in the eye sockets of the skulls of those twenty-odd skeleton demons immediately extinguished. With a clatter, the twenty-odd skeleton demons scattered into a pile of white bone in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Harley Quinn finally understood where the skeleton demons she had released earlier had gone!
Masses of black mist appeared around Acha's body, like arrows drawn but not fired. Acha lightly snapped her finger again. The next second, the black mist hovering around her body condensed into countless flying swords, which sealed off all of Harley Quinn's dodging Space from every Direction.
"Tear!"
Harley Quinn dodged the sky-filling sword rain in a sorry state. Although her body had been injected with the super serum, her pair of blue-green gemstone-like heterochromatic eyes were the latest technology product from the Hive Laboratory.
They not only fused Cyclops's X-Gene but also incorporated the charm magic of a succubus, giving her an ability close to dynamic vision.
But facing an opponent like King of the Underworld Cha Cha, Harley Quinn was simply like a kindergarten child challenging Tyson. The two were not on the same level at all.
Although Harley Quinn's skill was as nimble as a cat's, and her eyes occasionally shot out two crimson Optic Blasts, clearing away the incoming black mist flying swords, from the moment Harley Quinn launched her sneak attack until now, in just a few seconds, she had been completely suppressed by Acha.
Acha merely struck casually, leaving over ten wounds on Harley Quinn's body, making her look like she had just fought a bloody battle.
"I gave you a chance!"
Acha crossed her fingers. As her thumbs tapped together, hundreds of small black smoke vortices pulsed in the air behind her back, and in each vortex, a black flying sword was forming!
Acha's beautiful eyes playfully looked at Harley Quinn before her: "You've really wasted my good intentions. Since you don't appreciate it, there's no need for you to exist!"
"Swish!"
Acha's ten fingers flicked lightly, and hundreds of black mist flying swords attacked Harley Quinn like a gale storm!
The latter propped herself up with the baseball bat. She didn't choose to dodge; the flying swords were simply too fast, so fast that her static vision couldn't quite keep up—
Just as she was about to be pierced by a myriad of arrows from the dense flying swords, Harley Quinn showed a smile identical to the Joker's. She reached into her Hundred Treasures Pouch, pulled something out, and the next moment, a warhead appeared in front of her, tall enough for two people and thick enough for three to embrace.
It was a silver-gray warhead, with a warning symbol of a crossed white bone skeleton painted on its surface. On the body of the warhead, the red countdown on the diode had already started: 00:01
