The entire process, from the black-robed man making a move to Yuma killing him, took less than three seconds. Everyone was stunned.
They had only seen Yuma fight Abomination in videos, and they hadn't experienced it firsthand. They always felt that even if they faced him, with so many people and three powerful black-robed men, even if they couldn't defeat him, they could at least retreat safely.
You know, although the black-robed men weren't as powerful as Abomination, they were still much stronger than ordinary people. All of them together might not be able to beat him.
Now, one of them was taken down in an instant, and the hostage had lost his purpose. The rest of the people were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to continue fighting or to run for their lives.
"Open fire!"
One of the people guarding Peter was the first to react. He shouted at the stunned crowd.
"Yes, yes, open fire," Edward Weevil recovered from his shock and shouted along. "Kill him. Shoot him like a sieve!"
The Enjū shield immediately surrounded Yuma. Countless bullets hit it, making a clanging sound. From time to time, people were hit by the ricocheting bullets, and blood splattered.
For a moment, the entire room was filled with gunshots, the clanging sound of bullets hitting the shield, and the screams of those injured by the ricocheting bullets. The chaotic and disordered sounds, combined with the blood splattering everywhere, formed a bloody and elegant symphony.
"Maybe I was too merciful to others before, so you always chase after me and cause trouble," Yuma said softly, standing inside the shield. Even though the hall was filled with all kinds of sounds, Yuma's words were still clearly heard by everyone.
"If that's the case, then you'd better feel fear and despair."
"Thunderclap carriage, spindle's gap, this thing has light, gathers and divides into six, Bakudō #61, Rokujo Kōrō!"
As Yuma finished chanting, a large number of yellow spiritual pressure light pieces appeared out of thin air in the hall, instantly completely imprisoning all the enemies, including Edward Weevil and the other two black-robed men, so they couldn't move.
The group looked at the light pieces that pierced their bodies and completely locked them, their eyes filled with fear. This was the power of a devil.
Yuma didn't pay attention to the struggling and shouting crowd. He continued to chant a new Kidō.
"Cold flame, south vermillion bird, blazing fire, wailing, scorching heat and bitter cold, order and chaos, petals symbolizing holy light purify everything, Hado #54, Hakyō !"
The spiritual pressure in the air gathered around Yuma. In a blink of an eye, dozens of pink disc-shaped flames appeared, slowly floating towards the crowd like petals.
As soon as the flames touched the crowd's bodies, they instantly rose up, enveloping them completely and burning continuously.
Edward Weevil and the other two black-robed men watched their subordinates being engulfed in flames, unable to even scream before being burned to ashes. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from their foreheads. Before they could fall to the ground, they were evaporated by the high temperature.
"Are you alright, Peter?" Yuma walked over to Peter, who was lying on the ground, and asked.
"I'm, I'm fine." Peter said softly, clearly scared.
"Uncle Ben and Aunt May are very worried about you," Yuma patted Peter's head. "I'll take you back later. Remember, if you're in danger again, break the little knife I gave you, and I'll come to save you."
"Okay!" Peter agreed, then looked at the other three curiously. "Boss, what are you going to do with these bad guys? Are you going to burn them too?"
"Don't kill me. I'll do anything you want. I'll listen to you. Please don't kill me!" Edward Weevil begged when he heard Peter mention burning them. It was obvious that the situation just now had scared him.
"Your companions are much more courageous than you," Yuma said speechlessly, seeing the other side begging. "I don't know how Kingpin let you take charge of this matter and gave you three test subjects as subordinates. It's too childish."
"They're not courageous. They've lost their ability to speak. Otherwise, they would have begged for mercy," Edward Weevil whispered. "Besides, I don't want to do this. Kingpin forced me."
Lost their ability to speak?
Yuma thought for a moment and understood. It should be a side effect of the experiment. It seems that their experiment wasn't as successful as Natasha said.
"I'm telling the truth," seeing that Yuma didn't believe him, the other side quickly explained. "I'm the fake Edward. Kingpin gave orders. If I don't do it, they'll find out. Kingpin will definitely kill me."
"Fake Edward? Explain yourself." Yuma didn't believe it at all. With his IQ, if he was impersonating someone, he would be exposed in a minute.
…
After the other side explained, Yuma roughly understood the situation.
It wasn't complicated. The real Edward Weevil was indeed a small-time boss under Kingpin's group. One time, he followed his boss to headquarters for a meeting, and Kingpin's people selected him to participate in the super soldier experiment.
The real Edward wasn't stupid. Before participating in the experiment, he spent some money to find connections and got some inside information. Everyone who participated in the experiment either died or was disabled. There was no one who had a good ending.
After learning this news, Edward didn't dare to participate in the experiment. But if he didn't participate, Kingpin's people wouldn't let him go. So, after thinking it over, he decided to find a scapegoat.
To avoid being discovered, Edward specifically went to a remote place to find a homeless man named Rush Limbaugh. He gave him a sum of money and asked him to take his place in the experiment.
That homeless man was the fake Edward in front of him.
Rush Limbaugh initially thought it was a normal experiment and happily took the money.
But when he got there, he realized he had been tricked. But the situation didn't allow him to do anything. He could only passively accept the experiment.
After the experiment, Rush Limbaugh didn't die. Instead, he gained superhuman abilities, a lot of money, and power.
At this point, he wasn't thinking about escaping. After all, no one knew he was fake. The only one who knew the truth, Edward, died in a car accident. So, he simply took over Edward's identity and enjoyed a life of debauchery.
Until this time, Kingpin gave orders for them to kidnap Peter and threaten Yuma. He had to come to Queens with the black-robed men.
"Two questions. If you can explain them to my satisfaction, I won't kill you," Yuma raised two fingers. "First, since you're not Edward, why do you look like him? Besides, your personality and habits must be different. How did you manage to go undetected?"
"Second, Kingpin knows my strength. He wouldn't let you kidnap Peter and stay here without leaving. Why haven't you left?"
After saying that, Yuma looked at the other side, waiting for his explanation.
