Boom—
Blazing Hellfire spewed from the four engine pipes, and the next moment, all that remained where Eller had stood was a humanoid figure made of flames.
It was the Inferno form's excessive speed, causing flames to linger and form an afterimage. Lizard Devil's pupils constricted at the sight, and he immediately leveraged his superior dynamic vision to locate Eller.
Lizards inherently possess good dynamic vision, and the presence of the Lizard Serum and Enhanced Serum greatly amplified this. Not to mention, Lizard Devil could now draw power from infected individuals.
Although Eller's speed exceeded the speed of sound, Lizard Devil, after preparing himself, still managed to block Eller's 'Purgatory Strike' with his fist.
The Hellfire continuously scorched Lizard Devil's skin, turning his red skin and muscles charred black, but this charring didn't last long, being replaced by new skin and muscle tissue in the blink of an eye.
"It's useless! I'm much stronger than before!" Lizard Devil became arrogant after realizing that Eller, apart from his speed, had nothing else worth worrying about.
"..."
Eller didn't respond. Instead, he made the flames on his fist explode, forcing Lizard Devil to retreat.
The exploding flames injured Lizard Devil's right hand. His entire right hand turned into a charcoal-like substance, and with a 'crack, crack' sound, the charcoal right hand directly fell off.
"Is that all you've got? Unless you're ten times stronger than this, your fire is like a sauna to me." Lizard Devil said with a triumphant laugh. Within a second, a brand new right hand grew out, and it was even more vibrant in color with stronger muscle explosive power.
Looking at Lizard Devil's formidable regenerative ability, Eller murmured, "Another enemy who must be burned to ashes."
At this moment, a loud bang echoed over New York City, attracting the attention of both Eller and Lizard Devil.
It was in the direction of Osborn, where a cloud of blue mist was spreading towards New York City.
"It seems the antidote has been debugged," Eller thought to himself, feeling confident. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lizard Devil. "It seems your Lizard army is about to be wiped out."
"What?! Damn it, did their people fail?!" Hearing this, Lizard Devil immediately sensed something was wrong, and his tone became irritable.
Their people? It seems HYDRA was also a driving force behind this incident.
Eller speculated silently, then he looked at Lizard Devil and slowly said:
"If other Lizardmen are just innocent infected individuals whose fate is to be cured by the antidote, then your fate, Kletus Cassidy, can only be to be burned to death by me."
"You still know my name from when I was human?" A trace of doubt flashed in Lizard Devil's eyes, then he said nonchalantly:
"That's all in the past, but it was a pretty happy time, especially when I cut open that pregnant woman's abdomen and let her see her child with her own eyes. That sound was truly pleasant."
"..."
Eller didn't respond, but the killing intent in his heart surged immensely. He once again gripped the handle of the Inferno Booster Buckle, then twisted it three times in a row.
"Boost Time!"
"Today is a beautiful, sunny day. Everyone will have an uneventful workday," Eller said, twisting the grip two more times. Mental energy and Ki continuously poured into the Inferno Booster. He stepped on the ground and leaped into the sky.
"And you should be discontinued!"
"Inferno Booster: Grand Victory!"
The mechanical sound and Eller's roar sounded simultaneously. The next moment, Eller's entire body was enveloped in Hellfire.
The Hellfire formed a cone shape and flew towards Lizard Devil, who instinctively tried to punch it away.
But the conical flame only stopped in front of Lizard Devil, giving him no time to think. In an instant, thirteen conical flames appeared, blocking all of Lizard Devil's escape routes.
"What trick are you trying to pull now?!"
Amidst Lizard Devil's roar, it seemed as if thirteen Ellers simultaneously kicked towards Lizard Devil.
The exploding Hellfire was like blooming roses, blossoming on Lizard Devil's filthy body.
Boom, boom, boom—
Thirteen explosions rang out in succession. This 'Hell's Thirteen Consecutive Kicks' put all of Eller's power into it, and the amplification factor had far exceeded the 'ten times' that Lizard Devil had mentioned.
"This is impossible!"
Amidst Lizard Devil's disbelieving roar, a terrifying heat erupted from the inside out, first his internal organs, then his bones, blood vessels, nerves... Hellfire incinerated Lizard Devil step by step.
Lizard Devil's body quickly couldn't withstand the terrifying heat. The remaining heat spread outwards, encompassing the entire construction site. All engineering equipment softened from the heat, and those closer to Lizard Devil even melted into a puddle of molten iron.
Eller walked towards Lizard Devil, who had already turned into a charcoal statue, and stopped a few centimeters away from the charcoal statue. Then he threw a punch, reducing Lizard Devil to a pile of ashes.
Lizard Devil, discontinued!
With Lizard Devil's death, the activity of the viruses he created also began to gradually decrease. Coupled with the effect of the antidote, the infected individuals gradually calmed down and regained their human appearance.
As Eller eliminated Lizard Devil, a figure standing in the distance, wearing a leather coat, a full motorcycle helmet, and even with hands covered by leather gloves, slowly retreated into the shadows.
And potential infected individuals also didn't need to worry; the activation of the Lizard virus was determined by Lizard Devil, and with Lizard Devil's death, the virus would absolutely not re-erupt. A normal human body's immune system would be enough to kill the 'Lizard Virus'.
Meanwhile, Dr. Connors in Osborn opened his eyes. He touched his head, feeling as if he had been hit by a large hammer.
Dr. Connors instinctively reached for the top of his head, but when he touched it, he discovered that his missing arm had grown back!
This made Dr. Connors very happy. He wanted to celebrate for a while. He simply sat on the ground, looking at his long-lost arm, and happily laughed:
"I'm so great!"
Soon after, Eller, dragging his weary body, returned home. The first thing he did was pull out the Vial of Life and drink all the spring water inside.
Eller felt like a dry, cracked riverbed brought back to life by a heavy rain. In the battle with Lizard Devil, Eller had almost overdrawn his strength, finally killing Lizard Devil completely.
Not a single drop of the Spring of Life was wasted; Eller drank it all. Afterward, Eller, who had walked the line between life and death, put away the Vial and said with emotion:
"The amplification of this Inferno Booster is truly fierce. As long as you invest, you get a return, and I still can't find the amplification limit. I just need to control it a bit more in the future, otherwise I'll drain myself dry first."
