The metal sphere was powerful, but Carol was stronger. Using the power of the original ring, she forcefully pinned it to the ground, and the constantly thickening barrier severed the connection between Villon and the metal sphere.
Without its master's command, the metal sphere stopped resisting and entered standby mode.
Seeing this, Villon's expression instantly changed. If this continued, she might really die here.
Luke stepped forward, "Give up. You have no chance of winning."
Despite his words, his offensive showed no signs of stopping. Flames erupted from his feet, and he swiftly rushed in front of Villon, clenching his fist and striking directly.
Villon raised a finger, and a bouncy ram appeared on the ground, attempting to bounce Ghost One away.
Bang!
An energy projectile shot from his sole, shattering the bouncy ram. The ability to materialize was amazing, but for Luke, who was in "God Mode," it was a useless trinket. No matter what she materialized, Ava would analyze the data immediately and take appropriate action. In front of an omnipotent AI, she only had one path: head-on confrontation.
Bang!
The iron fist, enveloped in blue lightning, heavily struck the purple barrier.
Crack!
A network of cracks appeared on the barrier. Villon's face slightly changed, and she quickly flew backward. Luke struck again, breaking through the barrier. Eight energy projectiles shot out, hitting the cliff ahead.
The cliff fractured and collapsed, and falling debris rained down on Villon. She raised her left hand, and the rocks floated in mid-air, rapidly shooting towards Luke.
"Activate the energy field!"
Visible blue ripples appeared around Ghost One. Facing the incoming rocks, he didn't dodge, charging through them aggressively. On his dark face, a pair of mechanical eyes emitted crimson light, and his killing intent was so fierce that even the battle-hardened Villon felt a bone-chilling cold.
"He wants to kill me, this Earth native, he actually wants to kill me!"
"By what right?"
Villon roared, her eyes emitting an eerie purple light. The power of emotion spread outwards, enveloping the Ghost armor. She wanted to turn this damned, dark-skinned Earth native into her puppet.
The next moment.
A world burning with green flames abruptly appeared. Villon felt a heavy blow, her eyeballs bulging as if they would burst. Her throat churned, and with a retch, she spat out a large amount of blue clotted blood.
"How is this possible..."
Villon murmured to herself, unable to hide her shock. The power of emotion was unique to the Zamarons, with almost no natural enemies. Even if it was ineffective against some strong individuals, it wouldn't backfire like this.
"This Earth native, what exactly is his origin? Why does he have such a terrifying spiritual world!"
Recalling the green flames burning across the sky, Villon shivered violently, quickly materializing a huge mirror in front of her to block the black armor. Then, she took out a chip from a pocket on her lower back, crushed it, and her body disappeared.
Luke punched through the mirror. When he saw the empty ground, he frowned instantly.
"Ava? Where is she?"
"Sorry, enemy information cannot be detected."
"She ran away?"
"Very likely."
Luke sneered, "Can she really escape?"
Green flames overflowed from the depths of his pupils, and his vision changed. The colorful world disappeared, leaving only black and white tones. That distant white light was so clear in the stark black and white world.
Luke leaped, blue flames erupting from his soles, flying at full speed towards the white light.
The distance between them rapidly closed. Villon, realizing what was behind her, was so scared she almost fell to the ground.
"Black mech?"
"It can actually see me!"
"I'm in a phantom state. Earth's technology shouldn't be able to detect my presence?"
Villon was completely bewildered. Too many strange things had happened today, severely affecting her judgment. Under the stimulation of multiple surprises, she no longer wanted to fight. Her only thought was to escape, as far away as possible. Only by surviving could she see the future.
With this thought, she gritted her teeth, enduring the tearing pain in her head, and materialized a super-speed flight device on her back. The super-speed flight device was a secret weapon custom-made by Zamaron scientists for the Zamarons, allowing the user to fly at supersonic speeds, with a maximum speed of 20 Mach.
As the device activated, Villon transformed into a brilliant streak of light, disappearing at an indiscernible speed at the edge of the horizon.
Luke: "..."
"Ava, where is she?"
"Sorry, the target's speed exceeds 10 Mach. Effective tracking is not possible."
"Damn it!"
Luke angrily waved his fist, furious. The prey he had in his grasp had escaped, and what was even more frustrating was that there was nothing he could do to stop her. Ghost One's maximum speed was 3 Mach, while the opponent reached 10 Mach. How could he chase? There was no way to chase, he couldn't even see her taillights.
"It's time to create Ghost Three."
Luke muttered to himself and returned to the meteorite crater. Carol was dealing with the metal sphere. Seeing him return, she quickly asked,
"Where is she? Is she dead?"
Luke shook his head, "She ran away."
"How is that possible?"
Luke sighed helplessly, "That guy's escape speed is top-notch. Ghost One couldn't catch up. No choice. Forget it, a monk can run, but his temple can't. We'll find her sooner or later. The most important thing now is to leave here."
Carol nodded. She had noticed someone appearing at the edge of the meteorite crater earlier. Soon, more and more people would come. Once they were discovered, things would become very troublesome.
The two no longer hesitated and quickly left with the metal sphere.
News of the meteorite fall quickly became the focus of major news media discussions. As videos circulated, an atmosphere of panic spread through the city.
The meteorite fell only a dozen miles from the coastal urban area. People couldn't imagine what would happen to this city of millions if the meteorite had deviated even slightly during its fall.
Death brings fear, and fear gives rise to various negative emotions.
Because of this incident, the government and the space agency were severely criticized. It was their inaction that caused Coast City to suffer such a large-scale meteorite attack. The latter stated that they were truly wronged; satellites and telescopes had not detected any meteorites approaching Earth recently. Who knew how it got here?
In principle, meteorites with a diameter exceeding 100 meters would be specially marked and not missed. But how did this thing evade layers of satellite checks and appear on the Earth's surface?
Experts at the space agency thought for a long time but couldn't find a reason.
To reduce unnecessary accidental factors, the authorities decided to cordon off the site and prohibit outsiders from entering.
Steven Martin, head of the FBI's local office in Coast City, was temporarily in charge of the investigation. Under his arrangements, FBI agents began searching for traces of the meteorite.
Before long, a shocking piece of news arrived: no meteorite was found.
A huge meteorite crater, dozens of small pits, but not a single piece of alien rock.
