Matthew Atkinson
London, United Kingdom
-Whosh
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
Seeing the monster's claws coming at him, Matthew smiled coldly and simply ignored them.
The monster played tricks on him, but wasn't he also playing along?
His fists were already clenched.
He seized the opportunity, aimed at the monster's weak point, and unleashed a punch.
[Galaxy Impact]
Almost the instant Matthew threw his punch, the monster's claws struck him.
-Thump
This monster possessed incredible strength, so Matthew was sent flying.
At the same time, His punch strike hit the monster's weak point.
It could be said that Matthew's move was more like a "life-for-life" tactic.
The reason he chose this method was that the monster's skin was too thick. Even Matthew's current punches did not cause any real damage when they hit it.
-Bang
When the Fist Phantom struck the monster's neck, an astonishing explosion occurred instantly.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
-Ahww
The monster let out a miserable howl.
Its neck had been blasted open, leaving a horrible crater, from which copious amounts of blood were gushing out relentlessly.
It had to be said. This monster's defense was absolutely amazing.
Although Matthew's punch was somewhat rushed and not a full-force strike, its destructive power was still considerable.
Even so, hitting the monster's weak point only created a large crater.
...
"Clark..."
They saw Clark Kent being grabbed and sent flying hundreds of meters away by the monster.
Grand Magister Russell looked anxious and was about to rush out, but Commander Jones quickly pulled him back, saying, "Grand Magister Russell, don't be impulsive. It's no use going there now."
The muscular man suddenly said, "Look... that kid's alright."
Yes.
Matthew's current defensive capabilities were stronger than even his physical strength.
After all, his Armament Haki provided a greater boost to defensive capabilities.
So, while the giant monster's grab that sent him flying hundreds of meters away looked terrifying, it didn't actually break through his defenses.
In terms of defensive capabilities, Matthew was probably no weaker than this giant monster now.
When Matthew stood up again and saw the monster's miserable state, he immediately smiled.
At most, he felt some turmoil in his blood.
The giant monster, having suffered such a fatal blow, was rapidly losing its life.
He really hit the jackpot with this "life-for-life" trade.
The next moment, with a deafening roar, the ground collapsed under Matthew's foot.
Matthew then used the recoil to transform into a bolt of lightning and charged towards the monster once more.
He looked so energetic and vigorous and didn't look injured at all.
...
On the defensive line, everyone was horrified by Matthew's performance.
This guy took a full-force attack from a giant monster, and was he still completely unharmed?
The muscular man just took a light hit and coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering severe injuries and losing his ability to fight.
It was essential to know that the muscular man's ability was the Juggernaut Bloodline, which granted him incredible defensive capabilities.
He became a fifth-tier expert because of his invulnerable body.
How could Matthew, at such a young age, possess such terrifying defensive capabilities?
Just how many constitution points did this guy have?
Moreover, what Matthew displayed was not only a terrifying defense but also incredible strength and speed.
He could genuinely be called a warrior without any blind spots.
This was a bit scary...
"Old Russell, what exactly is your future son-in-law's ability?" the muscular man couldn't help but ask. "How come he doesn't even have a single weakness?"
Usually, superhumans would focus on a particular attribute based on the ability they have been given.
Because attribute points were rare, without focusing on a single attribute, one's power simply couldn't improve.
A warrior like Matthew, who was flawless and an excellent all-arounder, was extremely rare.
"Paramecia type, Strong-Strong Fruit," Grand Magister Russell answered instinctively.
"The Strong-Strong Fruit?"
The muscular man suddenly realized, "No wonder his strength is so amazing. But this kid isn't entirely focused on strength, is he? Even his speed and defense are monstrous... Just how many attributes does he have in total?"
"Perhaps he acquired other extraordinary skills to achieve such speed. As for his defense..." Commander Jones said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be because of Armament Haki, right? Judging from the extent of his Armament Haki coverage, his level is probably not low, at least at the proficient level."
"This kid is such a monster at such a young age." The muscular man said and sighed.
At this moment, among the group, the fifth-tier expert who had remained silent suddenly spoke up. "His overall strength has definitely reached the sixth-tier standard."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The official rating system for supernatural individuals follows a strict set of standards.
The destructive power that Matthew had previously displayed was equivalent to the peak of the fifth rank.
Now, considering his terrifying defense and astonishing speed, he could definitely reach the sixth-tier standard.
Grand Magister Russell watched Matthew's fighting figure, and the shock in his heart would not ease for a long time.
This senior of his daughter was absolutely a top-tier genius.
...
At this time, Matthew has completely gained the upper hand in his battle against the fifth-tier monster.
The wound on the giant monster's neck was fatal, and it was bleeding profusely.
As the battle dragged on, even the giant monster's incredible defenses began to falter.
In contrast, Matthew's physical strength and stamina showed no signs of diminishing.
It seemed like he could continue battling for another ten days.
Seeing this human growing stronger with each attack, the giant monster knew that if this continued, it would surely die here today.
So, it made a decision that went against its race's rules.
After forcing Matthew away with a "tail whip," the giant monster turned… and ran away.
It headed straight for the spacetime rift.
Matthew was utterly stunned.
Then Matthew hesitated for only a moment before giving up the pursuit.
Because this giant monster's skin was so thick, it also had a layer of sturdy armor on its surface.
With Matthew's current strength, he simply couldn't break through.
If he chases after it, he might be able to keep the giant monster here, but it would probably take a long time to kill it.
The most important thing right now was to hold the line.
After preventing other monsters from breaking through the defenses, they might try to invade London City from the rear.
Matthew's relatives were all in the city.
He wouldn't prioritize momentary pleasure over the greater good.
Then, after seeing the giant monster run away, Matthew's gaze fell upon the other monsters that were charging towards him.
The weaker the monster, the more mindless it is. They couldn't see anything but killing, and all they knew how to do was charge forward.
The more powerful a monster was, the higher its intelligence tended to be.
Matthew had already seen this point while researching online.
Therefore, if these little monsters were not eliminated in time, they would actually be more dangerous.
He took a deep breath and threw a punch forward.
-Boom
A powerful punch.
Instantly, the air seemed to explode.
The powerful hurricane turned into a meat grinder, shredding and killing monsters along a straight line in its path.
Matthew didn't stop and threw several more punches in succession.
The massive wave of monsters that charged in all exploded and died.
Next, Matthew truly demonstrated what it means to be "one man can hold off ten thousand".
He stood there, and no matter how many monsters there were, they could not cross the line.
His valiant efforts were captured entirely by the cameraman on the helicopter.
The reporter, seeing Matthew single-handedly holding off the monster army, couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
"I think my prayers have been answered. It is a miracle."
...
Half an hour later.
Several transport planes flew in from the horizon.
The support has arrived.
-Boom, Boom
A barrage of rockets was launched from the transport plane, bombarding the monsters.
Then, the cabin of one of the transport planes suddenly opened.
A figure jumped out from it.
The transport plane was at least 100 meters above ground.
The person who jumped out couldn't fly but landed perfectly fine.
This person was a middle-aged woman around thirty years old, wearing a tight-fitting outfit that fully displayed her agile figure.
The most noticeable thing was the strange device on the middle-aged woman's eyes, which looked a lot like VR glasses.
After landing, the middle-aged woman didn't waste any words and immediately took action.
She looked at the monster army, raised her right hand, and pressed it onto the "VR glasses".
The next moment.
A terrifying red laser beam shot out from her eyes.
Wherever the red laser passed, trees, mountains, and monsters were all sliced apart.
Its power was terrifying.
Matthew recognized this ability at a glance.
Laser eyes.
The signature skill of the mutant "Scott Summers".
This ability was considered one of the most powerful abilities among mutants, with extreme destructive power.
The laser eyes unleashed by the middle-aged woman were even more powerful than those of the real Scott Summers.
This woman must be the seventh-tier expert sent by the higher-ups to provide support.
In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of monsters were all cut up and killed by the middle-aged woman.
As expected of a seventh-tier expert.
Even Matthew was terrified by her laser eyes.
With Matthew's current defensive capabilities, he probably couldn't withstand it.
Sending this powerful figure to provide support was a very wise decision.
Because the middle-aged woman entered the scene and wiped out the monsters almost instantly.
After defeating the monsters here, the middle-aged woman did not linger at all, boarded the transport plane again, and headed towards the space-time rift.
The other person looked so cool.
However, Matthew was not envious.
Give him some more time, and his strength would definitely surpass this person's.
Furthermore, once his attributes reached a certain level, he would also be able to activate heat rays.
...
The support wasn't limited to the middle-aged woman.
There was another transport plane formation flying in this direction.
Soon, this place was completely taken over by people sent from above.
Grand Magister Russell and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Clark."
Grand Magister Russell approached Matthew and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Grand Magister Russell. I'm perfectly fine." Matthew said.
Now, apart from his clothes being a bit torn, there was no sign of injury on his body.
"It's good that you're alright." Grand Magister Russell said, "Come on, let's go to my place and rest for a bit."
Then he pulled Matthew and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a reporter suddenly rushed out, holding a microphone, and blocked the two of them.
"Grand Magister Russell, may I interview this hero?"
