Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Martian Hunter's Tactics
Servis, who had just occupied the body of a powerful vampire, was still very confident. After all, he didn't sense any spatial magic around him, nor did he detect the presence of Robert or Clark. Even if the Avengers had weapons that could restrain him, Servis wasn't afraid at all.
Given the vast difference in strength between the two sides, even if the Avengers had weapons that could counter him, Servis didn't believe they could harm him.
Especially since Servis had seen through the Avengers' strength through the memories of the vampire. Both Servis and the vampire believed that without weapons specifically designed to counter vampires and werewolves, the Avengers might not even be able to defeat the two races.
However, when Servis saw Mobius and Blade, he became excited. He realized that these two were the special existences Hercules mentioned, the hope for fixing the flaws in the Dark Dimension!
Although Servis couldn't distinguish which one of Blade or Mobius was the scientific vampire, it didn't stop him from planning to control both of them first...
With a "swish," Servis instantly disappeared from his original spot, ignoring the other Avengers, and charged towards Blade and Mobius, intending to capture them both.
"Hmm?!" Blade and Mobius felt a sense of crisis, but they couldn't locate Servis with their eyes.
Fortunately, while Blade and Mobius weren't as strong as Servis, there were others present who could keep up with him. Even without Robert's intervention, Kara and the Martian Hunter could match Servis's speed.
"Be careful. If it doesn't work out, you two attack together. If that doesn't work, use all sorts of silver weapons. Kara, you can release your power too. Your power source is the same as Clark's and can cause extra damage to him..." As Kara and the Martian Hunter engaged, Robert advised them through a telepathic message and then started contacting Clark.
Robert wasn't planning to call Clark over to the scene; Kama-Taj was too far away and contacting them was difficult. It was more convenient to have Clark handle it.
Now wasn't the best time to activate the mirror dimension. First, they needed to deceive Servis, let his true self send more power, and then activate the mirror dimension to deal with him.
Robert didn't know how powerful the Dark Dimension behind the vampires and werewolves was or how many strong beings it had. But since Servis had descended twice, it at least proved he was an important figure in the Dark Dimension. If they could deplete Servis's power significantly, like they did with Kerry and Naxi, it would ensure that Servis would struggle to intervene in the future war between Earth and the Dark Dimension...
As for truly killing a being from another dimension, Robert hadn't considered it yet. It was too difficult, and the beings that descended to Earth's dimension were only carrying their consciousness with power, not their true bodies.
This limitation was a rule set by Earth's dimension to protect itself and its inhabitants. Without it, the beings from various dimensions would be too overwhelming for Earth and its life to withstand.
"Bang!" Just as Robert contacted Clark and explained the situation, the Martian Hunter had already clashed with Servis. In this collision, the Martian Hunter didn't gain the upper hand but managed to block Servis's attack.
Normally, even after consuming so much blood, the vampire's power couldn't match the Martian Hunter. But with Servis's consciousness descending, he brought his own power with him.
Having learned from Alexander's failure, Servis didn't want to make the same mistake, especially with Hercules, a newly ascended being, watching him closely. Servis didn't want to fail due to carelessness and end up defeated by Hercules.
"Another anomaly? Why are there so many anomalies on Earth?" Servis frowned as he was stopped by the Martian Hunter. He hadn't expected another unknown powerful being to appear on Earth, and this one didn't seem to be human either.
Servis didn't think the Martian Hunter before him would be as troublesome as Robert and Clark. He didn't sense any threat from the Martian Hunter. To prevent any accidents, Servis summoned more power, planning to kill the Martian Hunter on the spot!
With a "swish," Servis disappeared again, but this time, his attack missed the Martian Hunter. In a critical moment, the Martian Hunter dodged and kicked Servis.
"Bang!" Servis was surprised to find that the Martian Hunter's leg extended a significant distance, kicking him away.
"Which dimension does this creature belong to?" Unlike Kryptonians, not many knew about Martians, so Servis didn't recognize him. However, this didn't stop Servis from becoming more serious.
With a "buzz," Servis summoned more power from his true self, boosting his strength. He worried that Kama-Taj's people might arrive and trap him in the mirror dimension again, with Robert and Clark coming to deal with him.
So, Servis gathered more power, planning to kill the Martian Hunter first and then take Blade and Mobius!
"Whoosh!" This time, Servis's attack succeeded in severing the Martian Hunter's arm, cutting it off cleanly.
However, this result didn't satisfy Servis. He continued his assault on the Martian Hunter, releasing terrifying energy!
"Bang!"
This time, Servis's attack had a wider range, enveloping the Martian Hunter completely. The Martian Hunter couldn't dodge and was hit by the dark energy, his body shattered without leaving any blood.
"What?!"
"Martian Hunter?!"
"WTF?!"
The Avengers were stunned. They couldn't believe that the powerful Martian Hunter had been killed so quickly, too fast for them to react...
This situation made the Avengers nervous. This battle had exceeded their expectations, and they began to wonder if Robert hadn't anticipated it either, since he hadn't saved the Martian Hunter.
The Avengers knew that in dealing with numerous extraordinary events, not everyone would come out unscathed. Led by Steve, some had long accepted that they might sacrifice themselves one day in these battles.
But they never expected the first to fall would be the recently joined, top-tier Martian Hunter...
"Hmm?" Robert was also stunned. He almost thought the Martian Hunter had messed up. But soon, he noticed the severed arm still had the Martian Hunter's aura and mental waves.
"Don't worry, no need to panic. You'll join him soon..." Servis smirked at the wary Avengers and was about to continue his attack.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a green hand pierced Servis's chest, shattering his heart and disemboweling him!
Though powerful, this wasn't Servis's own body but that of the vampire, which was significantly affected by such injuries.
This wasn't an irreparable injury, but Servis was bewildered, unable to understand how an arm could harm him.
In the next moment, the arm transformed, and the Martian Hunter seemed to regenerate from it or morphed back into his form. Either way, it showed that the Martian Hunter hadn't died from Servis's attack.
"Damn it!" Realizing he'd been tricked, Servis felt a surge of anger. He gathered his energy and blasted the Martian Hunter away.
In the distant Dark Dimension, Hercules and others frowned, observing Servis. They could sense Servis had sent power several times...
Yet, despite this, Servis seemed unable to win. This made Hercules and the others wonder what Servis was facing. They started to suspect there were unknown powerful beings on Earth, as it was too coincidental for Servis to encounter the same opponent twice.
"Die!" On Earth, the enraged Servis, having boosted his power, rushed towards the airborne Martian Hunter with terrifying energy, determined to obliterate him completely.
"Swish!" Yet again, Servis's attack missed. This time, the energy passed through the Martian Hunter like a phantom, disappearing into the sky.
Intangibility! The Martian Hunter's unique, non-corporeal state made him immune to physical attacks and many lethal moves. He had used this ability before to stalemate with Clark for a long time.
"What's going on? He's right there! Why didn't I hit him?" Servis was baffled by the ability. But he quickly regained his composure, glaring at the Martian Hunter, "I don't believe your trick has no limits. If my power is strong enough, I'll surely blast you apart!"
"Buzz!"
"Swish!"
Servis, now completely enraged, drew more power from his true self, aiming to kill the Martian Hunter. But each attack passed through the Martian Hunter, causing no harm...
Robert didn't expect the Martian Hunter to execute the plan so well. Even without Kara's intervention, the Martian Hunter alone had infuriated Servis to this extent. This wasn't just because the Martian Hunter understood Servis's mentality but also because his invisible mental powers were subtly affecting Servis!
Yes, the Martian Hunter wasn't merely evading. His earlier attack, ripping through Servis's stomach, was just part of his retaliation. His real attack was the invisible mental force, stoking Servis's anger at critical moments.
This combined effort allowed the Martian Hunter to lure out more of Servis's true power.
Moreover, the Martian Hunter skillfully controlled the battlefield, directing Servis's energy blasts skyward, preventing damage to Earth...
Whether these blasts hit an airplane, satellite, or an unlucky star wasn't the Martian Hunter's concern. Protecting Earth during the battle was already commendable!
