Chapter 332
"Hode, watch out!" Diana shouted, her Light of Wisdomshining to its absolute limit at this moment, attempting to illuminate the darkness ahead.
However, this power was too overwhelming; even the Light of Wisdom seemed somewhat inadequate.
Hode gritted his teeth. He felt the terror of this power, but he also felt the trust and support of his companions.
He knew he could not retreat or give up now. He had to step forward and carve out a path to survival for his companions.
He took a deep breath. Chaos Magic and Wonder Womans Power intertwined and collided within him, transforming into an unprecedentedly powerful force.
He wielded this power, attempting to break free from the shackles of this torrent of chaos.
However, this power was simply too strong; Hode felt as if his body were about to be torn to shreds.
Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale as paper.
Yet, he still did not give up; he used his will and power to engage in a life-or-death struggle against this torrent of chaos.
"Hode, I'll help you!" Wanda's voice suddenly rang in Hode's ears.
She closed her eyes tight, merging her consciousness with Hode's.
A warm and mysterious power surged from within her, flowing through their connected minds into Hode's body.
Hode felt a warmth in his heart as he received Wanda's support.
He took a deep breath, struggling to calm his emotions.
He knew he could not fall now; he had to face this crisis together with Wanda.
With Wanda's support, Hode wielded Chaos Magic and Wonder Womans Power once again.
This time, his power seemed even stronger, even more indestructible.
He broke through one torrent of chaos after another, gradually approaching the energy crystal.
Diana also struggled to remain conscious under the impact of this power.
Seeing Hode and Wanda so brave, she was filled with gratitude and admiration.
She knew she could not retreat either; she had to use her Light of Wisdom to light the way for her companions.
She closed her eyes, the Light of Wisdom flickering in her mind.
She quickly analyzed the composition and weaknesses of this power, trying to find a way to break through.
Finally, through her efforts, she discovered a faint fluctuation hidden within the torrent of chaos.
"Hode, Wanda, over there!" Diana shouted, pointing her finger in the direction of the faint fluctuation.
Hode and Wanda adjusted their direction immediately upon hearing this.
They rushed in the direction Diana pointed, gradually approaching the faint fluctuation.
When they reached the source of the fluctuation, they realized it was a small crack hidden within the torrent of chaos.
"Perhaps this is our chance!" Hode said loudly, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.
Wanda nodded. She took a deep breath and began trying to guide the torrent of chaos into the small crack.
With Hode's power supporting her, she gradually found the opportunity to guide this force.
She waved her hands, slowly leading the torrent of chaos into the small crack bit by bit.
However, the power was too overwhelming; Wanda felt as if her soul were about to be torn to shreds.
Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her face turned pale as paper.
Yet, she still did not give up; she used her will and power to engage in a life-or-death struggle against the torrent of chaos.
Leona and Helena were also assisting from the sidelines.
Seeing Wanda in such pain, they were filled with worry and anxiety.
But they knew they could not disturb Wanda now; they could only silently cheer her on.
Finally, through Wanda's efforts, the torrent of chaos was gradually drawn into the small crack.
As the last bit of power dissipated, the entire space returned to calm.
Hode and the others let out a sigh of relief. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with joy and relief.
They knew that at this moment, they had overcome the crisis once again and protected each other and the World.
"Wanda, are you okay?" Hode asked with concern.
He looked at Wanda's pale face, his heart filled with guilt and heartache.
Wanda shook her head, indicating she was fine.
She looked into Hode's concerned eyes and felt a warmth in her heart.
She knew that no matter when or where, Hode would always be her strongest support.
"We must hurry and extract that fragment, otherwise this power might return," Diana reminded them.
Her eyes were filled with determination and resolve.
Hode nodded. He looked at the energy crystal, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes.
He knew this power was far stronger than they had imagined; they had to be even more cautious.
They began searching for the exact location of the fragment around the energy crystal.
Under the guidance of Diana's Light of Wisdom, they quickly found where the fragment was located.
However, just as they were preparing to extract the fragment, a new crisis suddenly descended.
A dark and evil power suddenly surged from deep within the energy crystal.
This power was several times more terrifying than the previous torrent of chaos.
It seemed to carry the darkness and evil of the entire Universe, attempting to devour all light and hope.
"What is this power? How can it be so terrifying?" Leonaexclaimed, her eyes filled with shock and fear.
Hode also felt the terror of this power, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
He knew this power was stronger than any enemy they had encountered before; they had to give their all to defeat it.
"Everyone, watch out! This power is not simple!" Hodeshouted, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
He knew he had to step 705u.com-53 Reading Clubforward now to shield his companions from the impact of this power.
However, just as this power was about to sweep over them, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Hode's ears: "Hode, don't be afraid! We're here!"
Hode was taken aback and immediately turned to look.
He saw the members of the Avengers and the Justice League appearing in his line of sight.
Their eyes were filled with determination and resolve, as if they were ready to fight for justice at any moment.
"Great! You're finally here!" Hode shouted excitedly.
A strong sense of hope and confidence surged in his heart.
He knew that with the support of these companions, they would surely be able to defeat this evil power.
However, just as this power was about to clash with the Avengers and the Justice League, an even more astonishing change occurred.
That energy crystal suddenly surged with a powerful light, unprecedented in magnitude...
Chapter 463
"This power is too strong; we must find its weakness!"
The light was brilliant and dazzling, like the brightest star in the Universe, instantly illuminating the entire chaotic space.
Hode and the members of the Avengers and the Justice League couldn't help but shield their eyes; the light was too intense, as if it could pierce through all obstacles and reach deep into the soul.
"What is this light? How can it be so dazzling?" Iron Man Tony Stark exclaimed, his War Armor looking somewhat dim under this light.
Hode also widened his eyes, trying to see the source of the light.
In the center of the light, he vaguely saw a familiar figure—it was Phoenix Jean Grey!
She was surrounded by light, as if she had transformed into an emissary of light, carrying endless power and hope.
"Jean! Is that you?" Hode shouted, his voice filled with surprise and anticipation.
He knew Jean's power was immensely strong; her appearance might be able to turn the tide of this battle.
Phoenix Jean Grey slowly opened her eyes, golden flames flickering within them—the symbol of her Phoenix Force.
She looked at Hode, a gentle smile curling at the corner of her lips: "Hode, I'm here. Let's fight together!"
Hode felt a surge of intense excitement and gratitude; he knew that with Jean's joining, their power would be even greater.
He looked at the members of the Avengers and the Justice League and shouted: "Everyone, let's go! Together with Jean, let's defeat this evil power!"
The members of the Avengers and the Justice Leagueresponded one after another, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.
They knew they had to work together to defeat this unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
The dark and evil power seemed to sense the threat of Phoenix Jean Grey and began to become even more violent.
Dark Energy churned within the torrent of chaos, attempting to resist Phoenix Jean Grey's light.
However, her light was as scorching as the midday sun, instantly melting those Dark Energies.
Hode fought side by side with Jean, their powers merging at this moment.
Hode's Chaos Magic and Wonder Womans Power, bolstered by the Phoenix Force, became incomparably stronger.
They wielded this power, charging toward the dark and evil force to engage in a life-or-death struggle.
The members of the Avengers and the Justice Leaguewere not idle either; they each unleashed their ultimate techniques, engaging in an intense battle against the Dark Power.
Iron Man fired energy beams, Hulk swung his giant fists, Thor brandished Mjolnir, Wonder Woman wielded the Lasso of Truth...
Their powers converged into an unstoppable torrent at this moment, rushing toward the Dark Power.
However, the Dark Power was exceptionally tenacious; it seemed to possess endless vitality, constantly surging and counterattacking.
Even in the face of the powerful attacks from Phoenix Jean Grey, Hode, and the others, it showed no sign of retreating.
"Hode, this power is too strong; we must find its weakness!" Jean frowned, her voice filled with gravity.
She knew that brute force alone would not be enough to defeat this power; they had to find its flaw.
Hode nodded. He took a deep breath, struggling to calm his emotions.
He knew Jean was right; they had to find the weakness of this power to defeat it.
He began to carefully observe the flow and changes of the Dark Power, attempting to find its vulnerability.
Under Hode's careful observation, he finally discovered a faint fluctuation hidden deep within the Dark Power.
Although the fluctuation was faint, it was exceptionally stable, as if it were the core of the Dark Power.
"Jean, I've found it! The core of that power is there!" Hodeshouted, pointing his finger in the direction of the faint fluctuation.
Jean immediately turned her gaze to the direction Hodepointed.
She closed her eyes, the Phoenix Force surging within her, transforming into a powerful force.
She wielded this power, charging toward the core of the Dark Power.
Hode followed closely behind. Together with Jean, he concentrated all his power on the core of the Dark Power.
Their attack was like a thunderbolt, instantly striking the core of the Dark Power.
Under the attack of Hode and Jean, the Dark Power finally began to crack.
Dark Energy churned and collapsed within the fissures, as if it could dissipate completely at any moment.
However, just as Hode and Jean thought victory was near, the Dark Power suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly powerful counterattack.
The force of the counterattack was like a flash flood, instantly engulfing Hode and Jean's attack.
They were shaken back repeatedly by this power, their faces turning pale as paper.
Yet, they did not give up; they knew they could not retreat now and had to persevere to the end.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Hode's ears: "Hode, don't be afraid! We're still here—I'm here!"
Hode was taken aback and immediately turned to look.
He saw Black Widow Natasha Romanoff standing by his side, her eyes flashing with a resolute light.
In her hand, she held a specially made stun gun—her secret weapon for dealing with enemies.
"Natasha, you're here!" Hode shouted excitedly.
A strong sense of hope and confidence surged in his heart.
He knew that with Natasha's joining, their power would be even greater.
Natasha nodded. She looked at the Dark Power, a trace of gravity flashing in her eyes.
She knew this power was stronger than any enemy they had encountered before, but they had to defeat it—for the World, for justice.
"Everyone, let's go! Use our power to defeat this evil power!" Natasha shouted.
Her voice was filled with determination and resolve, as if it could inspire everyone.
The members of the Avengers and the Justice Leagueresponded one after another.
They knew they had to work together to defeat this unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
They wielded their respective powers, charging toward the Dark Power once again to engage in the final showdown...
Just as the battle reached a fever pitch, the Dark Powersuddenly underwent a transformation.
A dazzling light erupted from its core, which seemed to contain some ancient and mysterious power.
This power instantly swept through the entire space, leaving everyone feeling an unprecedented shock.
Hode widened his eyes, trying to see the scene within the light.
However, the light was too intense; he could only vaguely see a figure trembling within the light, as if it were the source of that power...
Chapter 464: Reached a tacit understanding
Hode narrowed his eyes, an inexplicable palpitation rising in his heart.
The figure in the light gradually became clear; it was a woman in a black bodysuit with a graceful figure.
Her eyes were cold as ice, and she was surrounded by a mysterious and powerful aura, as if she were a queen of darkness.
"That is... Black Cat Felicia?" Hode was startled; he hadn't expected to see her at this critical moment.
Felicia had once been an opponent in his missions, but at some point, a subtle emotional entanglement had developed between them.
And now, she had actually appeared within this Dark Power that was destroying the World.
Felicia slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze met Hode's, and a trace of complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She gently bit her lip, her voice low and firm: "Hode, I'm here to help you."
Hode felt a warmth in his heart; he hadn't expected Feliciato choose to stand by his side at this moment.
He took a deep breath, struggling to calm the excitement within, and shouted: "Felicia, let's fight together!"
Felicia nodded, her figure moving instantly to Hode's side.
She held a sharp dagger in her hand, her signature weapon.
She looked toward that Dark Power, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"This power is too strong; we must find its weakness."
Felicia's voice was calm and decisive; standing shoulder to shoulder with Hode, she began to carefully observe the flow and changes of that Dark Power.
Hode also threw himself into the battle with full concentration.
His Chaos Magic combined perfectly with Felicia's agility, forming a powerful combat force.
They wove through the Dark Energy, searching for a flaw in that power.
Just then, a dazzling light shot in from the distance, illuminating the entire space.
Hode turned to look and saw Wonder Woman Dianaswinging her Lasso of Truth, rushing toward that Dark Power.
Her gaze was firm and brave, as if she were an invincible goddess.
"Diana!" Hode felt a surge of joy; he hadn't expected Dianato join the battle at this moment.
He and Diana shared a special emotional entanglement, and whenever he saw her, an inexplicable warmth would well up in his heart.
Diana rushed to Hode's side and looked at Felicia, a flash of surprise in her eyes.
But she quickly regained her composure and shouted, "Hode, we must find the weakness of that power quickly, or we will all die here!"
Hode nodded, knowing Diana was right.
He turned to look at Felicia, their gazes meeting as if they had reached a tacit understanding.
Together with Diana, they continued to search for a flaw in the Dark Power.
During the battle, the intimacy between Hode and Feliciacontinued to increase, and his Chaos Magic became even stronger as a result.
He could feel the determination and bravery within Felicia; this power seemed to merge into his Chaos Magic, making his attacks even sharper.
However, that Dark Power was exceptionally tenacious.
It seemed to possess endless vitality, constantly surging and counterattacking.
Even when facing the powerful attacks from Hode, Felicia, Diana, and the others, it showed no signs of retreating.
"This isn't working; we must come up with a more effective strategy!"
Diana frowned, her voice heavy with seriousness.
She knew that with their current strength alone, defeating this Dark Power was nearly impossible.
Hode also knew this and began to strive to think of a countermeasure.
Just then, a thought flashed through his mind.
He remembered that while spending time with Felicia, he had inadvertently triggered a special ability—Heart Resonance.
This ability allowed him to share thoughts with Felicia, thereby gaining insight into her innermost thoughts and memories.
"Felicia, are you willing to share your thoughts with me?"
Hode looked at Felicia, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
He knew that doing this might deepen the emotions between them, but he couldn't worry about that right now.
Felicia hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.
She closed her eyes and established Heart Resonance with Hode.
In the moment of shared thoughts, Hode seemed to see the fear and worry deep within Felicia's heart.
She was afraid that this Dark Power would destroy everything, including the people and things she cherished.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Hode comforted her softly.
Through Heart Resonance, he combined his Chaos Magicwith Felicia's agility, forming a brand-new style of combat.
They seemed to become a single entity, capable of both offense and defense, making that Dark Power wary of them.
However, that Dark Power suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly powerful counterattack.
It seemed to have detected the tactical change between Hode and Felicia and began to attack in a targeted manner.
Dark Energy surged like a tide, instantly overwhelming their attacks.
Hode and Felicia were knocked back repeatedly by this power, their faces turning pale as paper.
But they did not give up; they knew they could not retreat now and had to persevere to the end.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Hode's ear: "Hode, we haven't lost yet!"
Hode was stunned upon hearing this and immediately turned to look.
He saw Pepper Potts standing by his side, holding a specially crafted energy gun, which she had prepared specifically for such situations.
"Pepper, how did you get here?"
Hode shouted excitedly.
A surge of intense hope and confidence welled up in his heart; he knew that with Pepper's addition, their power would be even stronger.
Pepper smiled.
She looked at the Dark Power, a flash of determination in her eyes.
She knew this power was stronger than any enemy they had encountered before, but they had to defeat it, for the World, for justice.
"Everyone, attack together! Use our power to defeat this evil force!"
Pepper shouted.
Her voice was filled with determination and resolve, as if it could inspire everyone.
The members of the Avengers and the Justice Leagueresponded one after another.
They knew that they had to work together at this moment to defeat this unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
Wielding their respective powers, they rushed toward the dark force once more, launching the final decisive battle against it.
During the battle, the intimacy between Hode and Pepperalso continued to increase.
He could feel the determination and bravery within Pepper; this power seemed to merge into his Chaos Magic, making his defenses even stronger.
At the same time, he maintained a close connection with Felicia through Heart Resonance, jointly dealing with the attacks from the Dark Power.
However, just when they thought victory was near, the Dark Power suddenly underwent a transformation.
A dazzling light erupted from its core, and that light seemed to contain some kind of ancient and mysterious power.
This power instantly swept through the entire space, causing everyone to feel an unprecedented shock.
Hode widened his eyes, trying to see the scene within that light.
However, the light was too intense, and he could only vaguely see a figure trembling within it, as if it were the source of that power.
An inexplicable palpitation welled up in his heart; he knew that this figure might be the key to them defeating this Dark Power.
"Hode, watch out!" Felicia suddenly shouted.
She sensed a powerful energy fluctuation heading toward them.
Hode shuddered upon hearing this and immediately prepared his defenses.
He knew that this battle was far from over, and they had to remain vigilant at all times to defeat this unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
Chapter 465: A powerful Dark Energy condenses in his hand
Hode was fully focused; his Chaos Magic formed a layer of deep blue shield around him as he stood back-to-back with Felicia, Pepper, and Diana, who had arrived to support them.
The light erupting from the core of the Dark Power became increasingly dazzling, as if it were about to tear the entire Chaos Space apart.
"This light... something is wrong."
Diana gripped her Lasso of Truth tightly, her brows furrowed, her gaze locked firmly on the trembling figure within the light.
"I have never seen such a powerful energy fluctuation; it seems to contain some kind of existence that transcends our understanding."
Hode's heart stirred; he knew Diana was knowledgeable; if even she said this, this power was definitely not ordinary.
He tried to communicate with Felicia through Heart Resonance, but was shocked to find that under the interference of this light, their connection had become intermittent.
"Felicia, do you feel that? This light is interfering with our Heart Resonance."
Hode said in a low voice, his gaze—705u.com-53 Reading Club—not daring to relax in the slightest.
Felicia nodded, the dagger in her hand flashing with a cold light, as if ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment.
"Yes, there seems to be a mysterious power within this light that is trying to sever the connection between us. We must be careful; this might be a new strategy of that Dark Power."
Just then, the figure in the light suddenly moved.
It slowly walked out of the light, revealing a face Hode had never seen before.
It was a face full of majesty and mystery, with eyes like the deep Universe, as if they could see through everything.
"You... dare to challenge my power."
The figure's voice was low and majestic, as if it came from another dimension.
"I am the Lord of Darkness, controlling the darkest power in the Universe. Do you think that with just your ant-like strength, you can defeat me?"
Hode shuddered; he had never imagined he would face such a powerful enemy.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear in his heart, and shouted, "We will not give up! No matter who you are, no matter how powerful your strength is, we will fight for justice!"
The Lord of Darkness sneered.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a wave of Dark Energy instantly surged toward Hode and the others.
Hode and the others immediately wielded their respective powers to resist, but that Dark Energy was like a surging tide, instantly overwhelming their attacks.
"Hmph, ant-like strength, daring to compete with the sun and moon."
The Lord of Darkness's voice was filled with disdain.
"Let me show you what true Dark Power is!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness raised his hand and waved it again, and the entire Chaos Space was instantly shrouded in darkness.
In the darkness, countless hideous monsters emerged, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they rushed toward Hode and the others.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Hode shouted, wielding his Chaos Magic to repel the approaching monsters one by one.
But those monsters seemed endless, constantly surging out of the darkness.
Felicia and Pepper also unleashed their respective skills, engaging in a fierce battle with the monsters.
Diana swung her Lasso of Truth, attempting to bind the Lord of Darkness, but that mysterious light prevented her lasso from getting close.
During the battle, the intimacy between Hode, Felicia, and Pepper continued to increase.
He could feel the determination and bravery within them; this power seemed to merge into his Chaos Magic, making his attacks even sharper.
At the same time, he also tried his best to maintain a connection with Felicia through Heart Resonance (despite the interference), jointly dealing with the attacks from the Dark Power.
However, as the battle continued, Hode and the others gradually felt overwhelmed.
Those monsters seemed endless, and their strength was getting stronger and stronger.
The Lord of Darkness stood on the side, watching them coldly, as if enjoying a wonderful performance.
"This isn't working; we must come up with a more effective strategy!"
Hode was extremely anxious and began to strive to think of a countermeasure.
Just then, a thought flashed through his mind—he remembered that while spending time with Diana, he had inadvertently triggered a special ability—Star Power.
This ability allowed him to borrow the power of the stars to enhance his own attacks and defenses.
"Diana, are you willing to borrow the Star Power with me?"
Hode looked at Diana, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
He knew that doing this might deepen the emotions between them, but he couldn't worry about that right now.
Diana was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
She closed her eyes and established a mental connection with Hode.
In the moment of sharing the Star Power, Hode seemed to see the brilliant stars in the Universe, their light converging into a powerful force that surged into his body.
"Star Power, descend!"
Hode shouted, waving his Chaos Magic and integrating the Star Power into it.
Suddenly, his attacks became even sharper, as if they could tear through all darkness...
The Lord of Darkness's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.
He hadn't expected Hode and the others to be able to borrow the Star Power to enhance their own strength.
He snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved it again, and an even more powerful wave of Dark Energy surged toward Hode and the others.
"Hmph, even if you borrow the Star Power, don't think you can defeat me!"
The Lord of Darkness's voice was filled with anger.
"Let me show you my true strength!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness's body suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, which contained endless Dark Power.
He swung his hands, and the entire Chaos Space trembled because of it.
Countless beams of Dark Energy shot out from his hands, instantly shrouding Hode and the others within them.
Hode and the others felt a powerful force rushing toward them.
They struggled to resist, but that force seemed endless, instantly shattering their defenses.
They were struck by the Dark Energy beams, their bodies instantly knocked flying, and they fell heavily to the ground.
"Hode!"
Felicia and Pepper exclaimed.
They struggled to stand up, wanting to rush toward Hode.
But the Lord of Darkness would not give them this chance; he raised his hand and waved it again, and a wave of Dark Energy instantly bound them.
"Hmph, ants are just ants; you will never be able to defeat me."
The Lord of Darkness's voice was filled with mockery.
"Now, let me end all of this!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness slowly raised his hand, and a powerful Dark Energy condensed in his palm.
He prepared to deliver the final blow to Hode and the others, to completely annihilate them.
Just then, a dazzling light suddenly shot in from the distance, illuminating the entire Chaos Space.
Hode and the others looked up in surprise and saw a female superhero clad in golden War Armor standing in the light.
Her gaze was firm and brave, as if she were an invincible goddess.
Chapter 333
"That is... Hera, Wonder Woman's sister?" Hode was shocked; he didn't expect to see her at this critical moment. Hera is Wonder Woman Diana's sister and a female superhero with powerful Divine Power.
Hera slowly opened her eyes, her gaze meeting the Lord of Darkness's, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes. "Lord of Darkness, your end has come!" she shouted, swinging her Golden Longsword and charging toward the Lord of Darkness.
Chapter 466: Your Actions Have Violated the Laws of the Universe
Hode watched as Hera charged toward the Lord of Darkness like a God of War, and a spark of hope ignited in his heart. He struggled to crawl up from the ground; although the pain was unbearable, his refusal to give in made him grit his teeth. He knew that he had to fight alongside everyone at this moment to have a chance at survival.
Felicia and Pepper also struggled with all their might within the constraints of the Dark Energy, their eyes revealing determination and unyielding spirit. Seeing Hera's arrival, a flash of surprise crossed Diana's eyes, and she shouted, "Hera, be careful of the Lord of Darkness's power; he is extremely strong!"
Hera nodded slightly, her Golden Longsword shining with a holy light. She was incredibly fast, reaching the Lord of Darkness in an instant, her longsword swinging and slashing down with the sound of breaking air. The Lord of Darkness snorted coldly and waved his hand, an Energy Shield appearing in front of him, easily blocking Hera's attack.
"You think you can defeat me?" the Lord of Darknessmocked, his hands condensing Dark Energy as he launched a counterattack toward Hera. Hera dodged to the side, evading the attack while simultaneously thrusting her sword at the Lord of Darkness again. The two instantly became locked in combat, light and darkness intertwining, and the Impact generated by the energy collision caused the surrounding space to distort.
Hode watched this fierce battle, thinking of a strategy. He knew he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible to be useful in this fight. He remembered his experience of sharing Star Power with Diana; perhaps he could trigger a similar ability with Hera as well.
"Hera, wait! 06" Hode shouted. Hearing Hode's cry, Herastepped back to pull away from the Lord of Darkness and looked toward Hode.
"What is it?" Hera asked.
Hode spoke quickly, "Let's try to see if we can trigger a new ability together; perhaps it can enhance our strength to oppose the Lord of Darkness." Hera frowned; although she didn't quite understand what Hode meant by "triggering a new ability," she still nodded after seeing the determination in his eyes.
Hode closed his eyes and concentrated, attempting to establish a mental connection with Hera. At first, he didn't feel anything special, but he didn't give up and continued to try. Just then, he seemed to see a vast Universe where countless stars twinkled. Hera's figure also appeared in this Universe, her body radiating a holy aura.
"Hera, concentrate and feel this power," Hode said through the mental connection. Hera nodded slightly and closed her eyes, beginning to feel the surrounding power. Gradually, she felt a warm and powerful energy coming from Hode, merging with her own Divine Power.
"What... power is this?" Hera asked in surprise.
Hode opened his eyes and said, "I don't know either, but I feel it can make us stronger." As he spoke, he channeled his Chaos Magic, integrating the merged power into it. Suddenly, his attacks became more vibrant and colorful, possessing both the brilliant light of the stars and the holy aura of Hera's Divine Power.
Watching the changes in Hode and Hera, the Lord of Darkness's expression became very ugly. He didn't expect these two ants to actually increase their strength during the battle, which made him feel extremely annoyed.
"Humph, even if you've improved your strength, don't think you can defeat me!" The Lord of Darkness roared, raising his hands high as the Dark Energy of the entire Chaos Space gathered toward him. The light on his body became even more dazzling, with darkness and light intertwining to form a terrifying power.
"Dark Judgment!" the Lord of Darkness shouted, and a massive beam of Dark Energy shot from his hands, heading toward Hode and Hera. This beam contained endless Dark Power, as if it could devour everything.
Feeling this powerful energy, Hode and Hera didn't dare to be the least bit negligent. They cooperated with each other, Hode wielding Chaos Magic and Hera wielding her Golden Longsword, to jointly resist the Lord of Darkness's attack. The two forces collided, producing a deafening roar.
During the fierce confrontation, the Intimacy between Hode and Hera continued to rise. He could feel the determination and courage in Hera's heart, and this strength made him fight even harder. At the same time, the merged power became stronger and stronger under their coordination, gradually resisting the Lord of Darkness's attack.
Seeing Hode and Hera temporarily holding off the Lord of Darkness, Felicia and Pepper also felt hope ignite in their hearts. They continued to struggle, trying to break free from the shackles of the Dark Energy. Diana was also looking for an opportunity on the side, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Lord of Darkness.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, Felicia and Pepper finally broke free from the Dark Energy's constraints. They quickly joined the battle, fighting side by side with Hode and Hera. Felicia's daggers flashed with a cold light, every attack precise and fatal; Pepper utilized her Tech Weapons to perform long-range attacks on the Lord of Darkness.
Looking at the increasing number of enemies, the Lord of Darkness's heart was filled with anger and resentment. He didn't expect that he would be pushed to such a state by these few ants. He condensed Dark Energy once more, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.
However, at that moment, Hode suddenly felt a new power surging within his body. His heart stirred as he remembered a special ability he had triggered while spending time with Felicia—Shadow Travel. This ability allowed him to travel freely through the darkness and utilize shadows to attack.
"Felicia, are you willing to use the power of Shadow Travelwith me?" Hode looked at Felicia, his eyes sparkling with expectation. Felicia was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She closed her eyes and established a mental connection with Hode. In the instant they shared the Shadow Travel ability, Hode seemed to merge into the surrounding darkness, his figure becoming blurred and indistinct.
"Shadow Travel, descend!" Hode shouted, and he and Felicia instantly disappeared from their original spot, appearing behind the Lord of Darkness. Sensing the presence behind him, the Lord of Darkness was shocked; just as he was about to turn around, Hode and Felicia had already launched their attacks. Hode wielded Chaos Magicwhile Felicia swung her daggers, both of their attacks hitting the Lord of Darkness simultaneously.
The Lord of Darkness let out a miserable scream, his body swaying slightly. He hadn't expected Hode and the others to have such methods. He turned around angrily to attack again, but Hode and Felicia had already used the Shadow Travel ability to disappear once more, leaving him unable to lock onto his targets.
Seeing Hode and Felicia's attacks succeed, Pepper was extremely excited. She continued to use her Tech Weaponsto harass the Lord of Darkness and distract him. Diana and Hera also took the opportunity to attack, flanking the Lord of Darkness from different directions.
Under everyone's coordination, the Lord of Darknessgradually fell into a predicament. His attacks became increasingly disorganized, and the light on his body grew dim. Hode and the others felt the dawn of victory; they fought even harder, attempting to defeat the Lord of Darkness in one fell swoop.
However, just when they thought victory was in sight, the Lord of Darkness suddenly erupted with a powerful force. He threw his head back and roared, causing the entire Chaos Space to tremble. A massive Dark Vortex appeared around his body, and countless hideous monsters surged out of the vortex, pouncing toward Hode and the others with claws and fangs bared.
"You think you can defeat me like this? Too naive!" The Lord of Darkness's voice was filled with madness. "Let me show you my true ultimate power!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness waved his hands, and those monsters instantly charged toward Hode and the others. Simultaneously, beams of Dark Energy shot out from the Dark Vortex, heading toward everyone. Hode and the others only felt a powerful force rushing at them; they resisted with all their might, but that force seemed infinite, instantly shattering their defenses.
They were struck by the Dark Energy beams and sent flying again, crashing heavily onto the ground. This time, their injuries were even more severe, and they had nearly lost their ability to fight.
The Lord of Darkness looked at the group lying on the ground and let out a mad laugh. "Hahahaha, you will all become my sacrifices, 840 and I will use your power to rule the entire Universe!"
Just then, a mysterious light suddenly shot from the distance, illuminating the entire Chaos Space. Hode and the others looked up in surprise to see a figure dressed in a black robe slowly approaching. A mysterious and powerful aura radiated from his body, as if he came from another World.
"Who are you?" the Lord of Darkness asked warily.
That figure did not answer, only slowly raising his hand as a mysterious light shot from it, instantly hitting the Lord of Darkness. The Lord of Darkness let out a scream as he was struck by the light, instantly becoming weak and feeble.
Looking at this sudden turn of events, Hode and the others were filled with doubt and joy. They didn't know who this You-Know-Who was, but his appearance seemed to have given them a glimmer of hope.
The You-Know-Who slowly walked toward Hode and the others, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally stopping on Hode. "You are quite good," the You-Know-Who said, his voice low and mysterious.
Hode's heart stirred; he felt as if this You-Know-Who knew him. "Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Hode asked.
The You-Know-Who smiled slightly and said, "Who I am is not important; what is important is that you will face even greater challenges. And I will help you through this difficulty."
As he spoke, the You-Know-Who reached out his hand, and a light shot from it, enveloping Hode and the others. Hode and the others only felt a warm power pouring into their bodies; their injuries were instantly healed, and their strength was restored.
Watching the You-Know-Who's actions, the Lord of Darkness was filled with fear and anger. "You... who on earth are you? Why are you opposing me?" he roared.
The You-Know-Who gave the Lord of Darkness a cold look and said, "Your actions have already violated the Laws of the Universe; today is your end."
As he spoke, the You-Know-Who raised his hand again, and an even more powerful light shot toward the Lord of Darkness.

Hode watched that mysterious light hit the Lord of Darkness, feeling incredibly shocked. He sensed the powerful strength radiating from the You-Know-Who, a level that surpassed his understanding, as if it came from the depths of the Universe. At this moment, he was full of doubt: who exactly was this You-Know-Who, and why did he suddenly appear to help?
The You-Know-Who turned to look at Hode, his eyes seemingly hiding endless secrets. "Hode, time is short; we must resolve this Lord of Darkness as quickly as possible, for an even greater crisis lies ahead." The You-Know-Who's voice was low and resonant, making Hodeunconsciously feel a sense of trust.
Hode nodded; although he still had many questions, he knew now was not the time to ask. He looked at Hera, Felicia, Pepper, and Diana nearby; everyone's eyes burned with the light of hope.
"Everyone, let's go together; this time we must thoroughly defeat the Lord of Darkness!" Hode shouted, his voice full of determination.
Hera brandished her Golden Longsword, its light shining brightly. "Good, let us fight side by side!" Her eyes revealed fearless courage.
Felicia gripped her daggers, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. "Humph, for this Lord of Darkness, today is his end." Her eyes sparkled with cunning and determination.
Pepper checked her Tech Weapons. "Don't worry, I will provide you with the most powerful fire support." Her tone was full of confidence.
Diana held her Lasso of Truth, taking firm strides. "Together, we shall protect justice!"
The Lord of Darkness recovered from his weakness and looked at the regrouped crowd, his eyes full of anger and resentment. "You think you can defeat me with his help? Too naive!" he roared, his hands once again condensing Dark Energy.
Hode took a deep breath, feeling the power given by the You-Know-Who surging within him. He looked at Hera, a strong emotion rising in his heart. As their Intimacycontinued to rise, he felt as if he could sense every ripple within Hera's heart.

"Hera, let's attack together!" Hode said, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Hera nodded slightly and charged alongside Hode toward the Lord of Darkness.
Hode wielded Chaos Magic, merging it with the power given by You-Know-Who, making his attacks even sharper.
Hera brandished her golden sword, the divine light echoing Hode's attacks.
The Lord of Darkness waved his hands, and a Dark Energy Shield appeared once again.
But this time, the attacks from Hode and Hera easily pierced through the shield and struck the Lord of Darknessheavily.
The Lord of Darkness let out a scream, his body swaying slightly.
Felicia and Pepper were not to be outdone, launching their attacks from the flanks.
Using the ability of Shadow Travel, Felicia instantly appeared behind the Lord of Darkness and thrust her dagger fiercely into his back.
Pepper fired lasers, disrupting the Lord of Darkness's line of sight.
Diana seized the opportunity to unleash the Lasso of Truth, binding the Lord of Darkness.
The Lord of Darkness struggled desperately, but the power of the Lasso of Truth made it impossible for him to break free.
"Do you think you can trap me like this?" the Lord of Darkness roared, the Dark Energy on his body surging constantly as he attempted to break free from the constraints of the Lasso of Truth.
Hode watched the struggle of the Lord of Darkness, contemplating a countermeasure.
He knew that he had to find the weakness of the Lord of Darkness to defeat him completely.
Just then, he suddenly remembered that when he shared Star Power with Diana, the Star Power seemed to be able to perceive the essence of all things.
"Diana, try to use Star Power to sense the weakness of the Lord of Darkness," Hode shouted.
Diana nodded, closed her eyes, focused her mind, and felt the flow of Star Power.
Gradually, she saw a dark core inside the body of the Lord of Darkness; it seemed to be his source of power.
"Found it! His weakness is the dark core inside his body!" Diana opened her eyes and said loudly.
Hode's heart stirred, and he looked at Hera, "Let's attack his dark core together!"
Hera nodded and gathered her power with Hode.
Hode wielded Chaos Magic, and Hera brandished her golden sword as their attacks shot toward the dark core of the Lord of Darkness.
Sensing the threat of the attack, the Lord of Darknessstruggled desperately.
But the power of the Lasso of Truth made it impossible for him to dodge, and he could only watch helplessly as the attacks descended.
Just as the attacks were about to hit the dark core of the Lord of Darkness, You-Know-Who suddenly intervened.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a ray of light enveloped the Lord of Darkness, blocking the attacks from Hode and Hera.
"Wait!" You-Know-Who said, his voice carrying a hint of gravity.
Hode and the others looked at You-Know-Who in surprise, not understanding why he wanted to stop them.
"Why? This is the best opportunity to defeat the Lord of Darkness!" Hode asked.
You-Know-Who looked at the Lord of Darkness, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Once his dark core is destroyed, the entire Chaos Spacewill collapse, and by then, the entire Universe will be implicated."
Hode and the others were shocked; they hadn't expected things to be so complicated.
"Then what should we do?" Hera asked.
You-Know-Who remained silent for a moment, then said, "We need to find a way to weaken the power of the Lord of Darkness while avoiding the collapse of the Chaos Space."
Just then, the Lord of Darkness suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Hahahaha, do you think you can stop me like this? I have merged with the Chaos Space; you cannot defeat me at all!"
Hode looked at the arrogant Lord of Darkness, his heart filled with anger.
"Hmph, we will definitely find a way!"
Just as everyone was lost in thought, suddenly, the entire Chaos Space began to shake violently.
The Dark Energy on the Lord of Darkness became even more violent, as if about to break through the restraints of You-Know-Who.
"Not good, the power of the Lord of Darkness is spiraling out of control!" You-Know-Who said, his expression becoming very grave.
Hode and the others felt the powerful shock of energy, their bodies swaying involuntarily.
They knew they had to take action immediately, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a familiar power surging within his body.
His heart stirred as he remembered that when he shared the Shadow Travel ability with Felicia, it also triggered a special ability—Shadow Resonance.
This ability allowed him to resonate with the surrounding Dark Energy, thereby controlling it.
"Felicia, are you willing to try the Shadow Resonance ability with me?" Hode looked at Felicia, his eyes shining with anticipation.
Felicia was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
She closed her eyes and established a mental connection with Hode.
In the instant they shared the Shadow Resonance ability, Hode felt as if he had merged with the surrounding Dark Energy; he could feel every ripple of the Dark Energy.
"Shadow Resonance, control!" Hode shouted, a faint layer of dark light appearing around his body.
He began to try to control the Dark Energy inside the body of the Lord of Darkness, attempting to guide it out.
The Lord of Darkness felt the fluctuation of the Dark Energy within him and was shocked.
"You... what are you doing?" he roared, struggling desperately.
Hode focused his mind, striving to control the Dark Energy.
Beads of sweat as large as beans appeared on his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly.
But he did not give up; he knew this was the key to saving the Universe.
Under Hode's efforts, the Dark Energy inside the Lord of Darkness began to flow out slowly.
The power of the Lord of Darkness gradually weakened, and his body began to become illusory.
You-Know-Who watched Hode's actions, a glimmer of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"Well done, Hode, keep going!"
However, just then, the Lord of Darkness suddenly erupted with a powerful force, interrupting Hode's control.
He looked at Hode angrily, "Do you think you can control my power? Too naive!"
Saying this, the Lord of Darkness gathered Dark Energyagain and launched an attack toward Hode and the others.
A huge beam of Dark Energy shot from his hands, rushing toward the group.
Hode and the others felt a powerful force rushing toward them; they struggled to resist, but that force seemed endless, instantly shattering their defenses.
They were hit by the beam of Dark Energy, their bodies sent flying again, falling heavily to the ground.
This time, they were more seriously injured, having almost lost their ability to fight.
The Lord of Darkness looked at the group lying on the ground and let out a mad laugh.
"Hahahaha, you will all become my sacrifices; I will use your power to rule the entire Universe!"
Just then, a mysterious ray of light shot from the distance again, illuminating the entire Chaos Space.
Hode and the others looked up in surprise to see a figure dressed in a white robe walking slowly toward them.
She radiated a gentle yet powerful aura, as if coming from the land of light.
"Who are you?" the Lord of Darkness asked vigilantly.
The figure did not answer, but slowly raised her hand, and a gentle ray of light shot from her hand, instantly enveloping the Lord of Darkness.
The Lord of Darkness let out a scream; his body was struck by the light and instantly became even weaker.
Hode and the others watched this sudden turn of events, their hearts filled with confusion and surprise.
They did not know who this mysterious White-robed Woman was, but her appearance seemed to give them new hope.
The White-robed Woman walked slowly toward Hodeand the others, her gaze sweeping over everyone before stopping on Hode.
"You are very special," the White-robed Woman said, her voice soft and mysterious.
Hode's heart stirred; he felt that this White-robed Womanseemed to know him too.
"Who are you? Why help us?" Hode asked.
The White-robed Woman smiled slightly and said, "Who I am is not important; what is important is that your mission is not yet complete. And I will continue to help you."
Saying this, the White-robed Woman extended her hand, and a ray of light shot from it, enveloping Hode and the others.
Hode and the others felt a warm force surging into their bodies; their injuries healed instantly, and their strength was further restored.
The Lord of Darkness watched the actions of the White-robed Woman, his heart filled with fear and anger.
"You... who exactly are you? Why go against me?" he roared.
The White-robed Woman looked at the Lord of Darknesscoldly.
Chapter 468: What Time Is It Now, You Still Have the Mind to Joke
The White-robed Woman looked at the Lord of Darknesscoldly, her voice like a bell chime from ancient times, carrying an irresistible majesty: "Lord of Darkness, your era should end. What you have done has violated the Laws of the Universe."
The Lord of Darkness was shaken by this majesty, his body trembling slightly, but anger still burned in his eyes: "You are just another meddlesome person; I will not yield!"
The White-robed Woman did not respond further, but with a gentle wave of her hand, rays of light shot from her hand, weaving into a huge net of light in the air, which enveloped the Lord of Darkness.
The Lord of Darkness struggled desperately, Dark Energysurging wildly around him, forming layers of black barriers in an attempt to resist the attack of the light net.
However, the light net seemed to possess endless power, piercing through the black barriers bit by bit and binding the Lord of Darkness tightly.
Hode watched this scene, feeling both surprised and impressed.
He turned his head to look at Hera beside him and said softly, "What is the background of this White-robed Woman? She is surprisingly powerful."
Hera frowned, her eyes also filled with confusion: "I don't know either, but her power seems to have some connection to the God of Light. Perhaps she is a deity from another dimension."
Just then, Felicia suddenly leaned over, her eyes flashing with a cunning light: "Who cares who she is, as long as she can help us defeat the Lord of Darkness. However, Hode, do you think she might also have a special relationship with you, just like us?"
Hode smiled helplessly: "Felicia, what time is it now, you still have the mind to joke."
Felicia pouted: "Hmph, just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. However, I always feel that this White-robed Woman has a very special aura, very similar to those mysterious powers you have encountered before."
Hode's heart stirred; he carefully recalled the scene of meeting the White-robed Woman and found that there was indeed a familiar feeling about her, as if there was some potential connection with himself.
But at this moment, he had no time to think too much, because although the Lord of Darkness was bound by the light net, he was still struggling desperately, trying to break free.
"We cannot just watch; we must find a way to defeat him completely," Hode said, his eyes revealing determination.
Hera nodded: "That's right, although this White-robed Woman has temporarily controlled the Lord of Darkness, his power is too strong; we must find his weakness as soon as possible and deliver a fatal blow."
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, Peppersuddenly thought of something: "Hode, can't you share Star Power with Diana? Perhaps Star Power can help us find the true weakness of the Lord of Darkness."
Hode's eyes lit up: "You are right; Star Power might be able to perceive the essence of all things."
Saying this, he looked at Diana, "Diana, let's try again, use Star Power to sense the weakness of the Lord of Darkness."
Diana nodded and shared Star Power with Hode again.
This time, they were more focused, concentrating their minds and feeling the flow of Star Power.
Gradually, they saw a deeper secret inside the body of the Lord of Darkness.
It turned out that although the Lord of Darkness had merged with the Chaos Space, his power core did not rely entirely on the Chaos Space, but was a Dark Heart hidden deep within his soul.
"Found it, his weakness is the Dark Heart deep in his soul!" Diana opened her eyes and said loudly.
Hode's heart stirred, and he looked at the White-robed Woman: "Senior, we have found the weakness of the Lord of Darkness, but we need your help to strike at the depths of his soul."
