Chapter 218, Section 115: I will break your back!

Meanwhile, the battle inside the castle had reached a fever pitch. Thanks to the self-healing ability granted by the amber gold composite, Bane actually survived the onslaught of the fully-powered Chator.

Actually, we shouldn't use the word "survived," as that's an adjective used to describe the weak.

Bain is now clearly in the lead.

He held two pieces of cement he had pried off the wall and kept shoving them at Chato, who could only defend himself with violent fire explosions. But these cement pieces were everywhere, and Bane could use any one of them as a weapon.

Chato's flames are exceptional at clearing large areas of debris, but when he faces a formidable opponent head-on, his weakness in single-target burst damage becomes glaringly obvious. Especially when his flames fail to penetrate his opponent's defenses, the once-powerful nuclear weapon is reduced to a mere firecracker.

With the concrete blocks acting as a barrier, the high temperature was significantly reduced in its destructive power on Bain. Even when the skin on his chest was occasionally charred by the high temperature, it could recover completely in a very short time.

Meanwhile, in his mind, Diablo continued to communicate with him through his consciousness and to bewitch him, trying to get Chato to remove the wedge that sealed him.

We need greater strength to fight the enemy —

A greater power, a more furious flame —

Stronger————

The devil's whispers lingered in his ears, and Chato was tempted to reach out to the wedge.

But the moment he grasped the nail, Chato was forced back by the excruciating burning pain emanating from it.

Since being possessed by Diablo, he hadn't experienced high temperatures or burns for a long time, but now his hands were red and swollen, with rolling blisters bubbling under the bulging skin.

Meanwhile, Diavolo, who was fighting Bane outside, was forced to disconnect from his body. Bane seized the brief moment when the flames went out and kicked Chato in the chest.

boom!

Chato's chest caved in instantly, and both of his arms were dislocated as his body was pulled backward.

Like a rocket launcher, Chato flew backwards and pierced through the wall, the smoke and dust from the explosion roaring and sweeping across the entire corridor.

Bain approached step by step, and a huge black silhouette gradually emerged from the smoke and dust. Coupled with his heavy, oppressive footsteps, just looking at him filled one with a deep sense of despair.

Meanwhile, in his mind, Chato's soul was still trying. Although he didn't know what was happening outside, he could roughly guess what had happened when he saw the terrifying cracks that suddenly appeared on Diablo's bound body.

He now has no way out.

He tried to grasp the wedge again, and the searing pain surged through him once more. But this time, Chato did not let go, allowing the excruciating pain to evaporate his soul and seep into his very bones.

"what!"

In despair, Chato let out a howl. The intense heat nearly melted his consciousness, scorching his body like a red-hot branding iron.

But perseverance pays off, and thanks to Chato's efforts, the Fan Ding was completely eradicated.

In reality, Bain also found Chato unconscious in the ruins.

Just as he raised his foot to step on the other man's head, Chato suddenly opened his eyes and caught Bane's attack with just one hand.

In an instant, intense heat erupted from Chato's palm, blasting a close-range explosion through Bane's body.

Boom!

This time, due to the removal of a wedge, Diablo unleashed an even greater amount of energy than before.

Not only Bane, but the entire crumbling castle collapsed completely in the explosion. The three who had just evacuated outside the castle saw this scene and secretly worried for Chato and Qin Wei.

"I hope he's alright, he just went in." Thomas tried to turn back, but Talia pressed down on his shoulder.

"If he can't even withstand a mere collapse, then don't expect him to defeat Bane."

Talia's face remained tense. She had taken a closer look at Qin Wei when he got off the plane and discovered that he had simply changed into a combat suit with an exoskeleton.

Can an exoskeleton armor withstand Bane at full power? Perhaps, but at most it can only withstand him once or twice.

As we all know, human joints are like levers that require a lot of effort, and the same goes for exoskeletons and powered armor. Especially Qin Wei's close-fitting exoskeleton system, even if its materials can withstand Bane's heavy punches, its joints will be the first to give way.

In other words, Qin Wei might not have his ulna and radius broken like Thomas, but the immense force would definitely tear his elbow joint and crush his knee.

He will reap an even more tragic end.

"What a reckless man! I don't know why he even came back!"

A thin hand reached out from the ruins.

Chato pushed aside the bricks and stones on his head, swaying as he climbed out of the rubble. Demonic fire burned on his chest and shoulders, as Diablo tended to his wounds.

After removing the wedge, he could clearly feel that his fusion with the demon had deepened, and even his body was becoming more and more unlike a human.

Chato stroked his rough skin, the totem-like tattoos spreading across his exposed body like infected wounds.

Selling one's soul to the devil is a price too high to pay.

But no matter what, I ultimately defeated Bane, and that's enough.

Chato touched his bald head and tried to pull his right foot out of the rubble.

But the completely unresponsive feedback sent a chill down my spine.

"It's okay—it's probably just stuck—"

Chato tried to comfort himself with these words, but before he could finish speaking, he was pulled into the pile of rubble by a tremendous force.

The next second, the ruins exploded, and a huge, dark figure shot into the sky along with the rubble, holding a chick-like Chato in its hand.

Who else could this guy be but Bane? However, after being bombarded by a close-range fire attack, his appearance was truly miserable. His body was almost completely dried out, and his pitted, charred skin clung tightly to his muscles and bones.

Half of his skull was blown off, revealing a charred, empty head.

Even in this state, Bane is still alive; the amber gold from another universe granted him a self-healing ability that can be described as a bug.

No, that can't even be called self-healing; it's practically the same as Uriah Boone's immortality.

No wonder, not every universe is corrupted by "it". This amber gold contains the purest green of all things from another universe, immortality without any side effects. This is exactly what the high-ranking officials of the Court of Owls dream of.

It was also the Joker's trump card used to bribe Bane.

Imagine, with this, Bane, the battle maniac, could charge at any powerful enemy at will, even Superman.

"I will take this city from your hands and establish new rules upon the ruins."

Unlike those third-rate villains who indulge in their power after gaining it, Bane remained restrained at this moment. He knew very well that his purpose was not to kill for fun, but to conquer everyone with absolute force.

The strong who die by his hand will become his medals, and their skulls will be part of his glory.

Therefore, Bane was filled with gratitude towards Rasoul, and of course, also towards the vengeful demon Chato, who was about to die at his hands.

He slammed Chato to the ground and pinned him down with his knee, then unleashed a full-force attack on the man's head.

Thump thump thump thump! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Bain's arms blurred into two afterimages as he unleashed a rapid, jackhammer-like straight punch that slammed into Chato's face.

This pure and powerful physical destructive force left Diablo momentarily overwhelmed.

Chato's head resembled a quantum superposition, constantly alternating and entangled in destruction and rebirth. Healing alone had almost exhausted the demonic fire within him, leaving him with no strength to retaliate.

Soon Bane will achieve the unprecedented feat of "physical exorcism," and even John would have to give him a thumbs up.

Just as the charred Bane was hammering away with great enthusiasm, a cold glint appeared from the side.

With the roar of the thrusters, a spinning kick that sent a piercing sonic boom through the air struck Bane squarely.

Bane's severely injured body had not yet fully recovered when this blow smashed half of his body, sending him flying hundreds of feet.

Its massive body transformed into a rolling ball, plowing through the ground covered with broken bricks and rubble, smashing a dead tree, and then shattering the "KGB Beast's" tombstone before finally landing in a corner of the manor, raising a cloud of damp dust.

The bat, equipped with exoskeleton power armor, announced his arrival with a graceful spin and landing.

But just as Talia had guessed, the exoskeleton armor could not withstand such violent use. The moment he landed, crackling sparks appeared on his left ankle and knee.

Of course, he seemed to have anticipated this problem and had no intention of fighting Bane for long. He retreated after a single blow, picked up Chato from the ground, and ran away.

At this moment, the exoskeleton device was fully powered, and the pitch-black figure disappeared into the night like an arrow released from a bow.

Bain, who had landed in a corner of the manor, was naturally not going to let his prey escape. He struggled to break free of the bricks and stones binding him and chased after Qin Wei in the direction he had fled.

The chase resumed, but this time, without the constraints of the narrow corridor, Bane's speed was visibly much faster, and the bat with the damaged exoskeleton joint in its left leg quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

As the earthquake intensified, the bat had no choice but to fall off Chato and turn its back to face the enemy.

Just as he turned around, Bain brought his fist down on him with his hands clasped together and his ten fingers crossed.

The bat used its momentum to jump backward and create distance, but Bane's excellent coordination gave it another chance to pursue. As he landed, he slapped the ground with both hands and leaped high into the air, arching his arms in mid-air.

The powerful right fist, fully charged, slammed down from the sky and crashed to the ground. Even though the bat dodged it twice, the violent tremor still broke its balance.

Taking advantage of the bat's stagger, Bane pursued for the third time, and in the instant of rolling to dissipate the force, he switched to a sprint stance and launched a swift flying knee strike at his opponent.

In fact, Bane had much better ways to deal with the bat, but he wanted to use these kinds of violent and wide-ranging moves to test Qin Wei.

The Joker once said that Batman was an opponent who was extremely good at winning against the odds, but Bane didn't believe it. After witnessing the unparalleled power and destructive force, he didn't believe that anyone could remain calm.

It's already quite difficult for an ordinary person to face a lion or tiger bare-handed; a very few exceptionally brave individuals might even be able to fight a brown bear.

But what if you're facing an Asian elephant or even a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex?

To put it bluntly, there are always limits to how the weak can overcome the strong, and Bane is now confident that his power has far exceeded the limits that humans can withstand.

Aside from the Kryptonians, he firmly believed that he could not lose to anyone else.

"Come on, formidable rival! I beg you not to tremble with fear at my presence, for that would be utterly disappointing!"

Bain's knee slammed into the bat's outstretched arm.

boom!

The sonic boom was followed by a dull thud from the impact.

As the air blast rolled, the bat, having taken a hit, tensed its back and plowed backward dozens of feet like a rake, its knees sinking almost entirely into the wet, slippery mud after the rain.

Crack!

Black smoke billowed from the joint of his right exoskeleton, while the exoskeleton of his left hand, along with his entire forearm, broke off and flew far away, disappearing into the darkness close to the ground.

This is Bane's all-out attack. If Bat doesn't come up with an effective countermeasure, he will be completely dismantled by Bane's relentless assault.

At this moment, Bane's burns had been healed under the influence of Amber Gold. His face was hidden in the night, with only his eyes shining.

This is the second time Bain has felt excited tonight.

Yes, even though the bats were far less powerful than Chato, they still stirred his blood.

Bain noticed that his opponent wasn't trembling, and even his breathing rate hadn't changed at all; he was just slightly out of breath from exercise, just like when he first entered the arena.

This means that the bat is the person he imagined, the human who remained unmoved in the face of a rapidly advancing Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"You've been gone for so long, you must have been preparing to deal with me."

Bane, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Honorable opponent, show me all the moves you have prepared. Do not let the new king of Gotham ascend the throne over the bones of the unknown." Bane never underestimated any opponent. As he declared his challenge, he immediately focused his gaze on Batman.

The thick shoulder pads suggest that small missiles may be hidden inside.

A suspiciously wide belt should be carefully examined to see if any props might be hidden inside.

With both the left leg and left hand severely damaged, you can focus your attention on the left side of your opponent's body.

Bain even suspected that the bat in front of him might be a robot, but the bat's broken elbow, which was spitting out blood after that attack, made him dismiss the idea.

But soon, he turned his gaze back to the bat's severed limb.

Flesh and blood are coagulating and multiplying, bones are growing —

"You had an amber-gold implant implanted?"

Bain sneered and narrowed his eyes.

Having followed the Owl Court for many years, he knew about the side effects of amber gold, enough to drive a strong-willed person mad with hallucinations and addiction.

But what did such a huge sacrifice bring in return?

To put it nicely, it's a self-healing ability; to put it bluntly, it's just a degraded version of immortality.

Especially in the presence of Bane, who had received a perfect amber implant, the bat's behavior was as foolish as a clown trying to amuse a serious audience on stage.

"This is getting rather boring. The exoskeleton, the amber gold, and the liquid nitrogen you might be hiding in your belt—"

Bane couldn't believe that the showdown he had been looking forward to all night had come to nothing again. So did Rayshoe and Bruce. Did Gotham really not have a single skull of a formidable enemy that could be forged into a medal?

The clouds were dispersed by the wind, and the cold moonlight fell on Bane's shiny head.

He clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

The man's next sentence was so terrifying that it froze Qin Wei's very bones.

"If this is all you're going to do to me, I'll retaliate in the most savage and brutal way possible—"

"I'll break your back!"
