Marvel: Hunter

Chapter 383: Can’t Beat

Unexpectedly, such a terrifying blow, carrying such overwhelming power, caused only this much damage to the Celestial.

What frightening strength, what incomparably hard armor. The origins of this group of Celestials were absolutely extraordinary. This body alone was several tiers stronger than that of the likes of the Mad Titan Thanos. The Celestial Group truly deserved to be one of the earliest life races born in the universe.

Perhaps the prehistoric Bounty Hunter had underestimated his opponent and overestimated his own strike. Seeing that his full-powered slash had only cracked the Celestial’s armor and caused nothing more than superficial damage, he was momentarily stunned.

However, in a battle at this level, even such a brief lapse was undeniably fatal. At that instant, the prehistoric Bounty Hunter failed to notice that the Celestial had already seized the opportunity to counterattack.

At this speed, Blaine had to exert all his strength just to barely keep up. As the weapon rapidly magnified in his field of vision, Blaine’s heart clenched.

The attack was already right in front of him. Even teleportation was too late.

...

Sure enough, in the next second, the attack struck the prehistoric Bounty Hunter. His body was instantly sent flying like a shooting star. Only after smashing through the peaks of three massive mountains in succession did he barely come to a stop.

Even Blaine, who existed only as a soul, felt a violent surge in his chest at that moment, let alone the prehistoric Bounty Hunter who had personally endured the blow.

However, Blaine also noticed something crucial. At the most critical instant, the prehistoric Bounty Hunter’s body suddenly burst with golden light. At the same time, a transparent, glass-like barrier appeared around him, providing considerable defense and absorbing a large portion of the damage.

"Diamond Body and an energy shield?"

At this moment, Blaine put away his earlier levity and became serious. Perhaps this was why the gods had deliberately arranged for him to witness all of this in the darkness.

Since it was specially arranged, it must be meant for Blaine to understand something and learn something. Just like the Diamond Body he had just seen—if Blaine were pushed to his absolute limits, he was one hundred percent certain he still wouldn’t be able to achieve that.

As Blaine watched the remaining seven figures battling the Celestial in the distance, a sudden sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

When he looked back at the Celestial, he discovered that its figure had vanished. In the very next second, it reappeared directly in front of the prehistoric Bounty Hunter. Clearly, it had judged the Bounty Hunter to be the most dangerous opponent present.

The mallet-like weapon in its hand smashed down toward the body of the prehistoric Bounty Hunter, intending to kill him first.

However, based on Blaine’s understanding of himself, he knew that he wouldn’t die so easily.

And reality proved him right. At some unknown moment, a hand pressed down onto the ground. Suddenly, with the prehistoric Bounty Hunter’s body as the center, another transparent ring of light spread outward. In just few breaths, it enveloped the entire grassland, looming over everything.

"Time... standing still?"

That’s right. Just as Blaine had guessed, the prehistoric Bounty Hunter had used time stasis. It was just that Blaine had believed he himself had already reached this level, and that time stagnation should at least cover a planet—if nothing else, a continent.
