Chapter 154 Your Next Line Is...
Nightcrawler, encased in Building Blocks in the shape of a rectangular prism, was shaking non-stop on the Ground, but no matter how hard it tried, it was all in vain.
It was wrapped tightly, with no room to exert force, making it unlikely to break free.
If it were an ordinary person, that might be the case, but it was Nightcrawler, and it possessed the Teleportation Ability inherited from its Father Red Devil.
A cloud of blue Smoke drifted out from the Restrainer made of Building Blocks. This was a sign that Nightcrawler was using its Ability.
Yang Le frowned. Nightcrawler, as the strongest assassin in the X-Men, was indeed a headache with its elusive Ability, unless it was killed with a single blow.
Peter stopped beside the Restrainer, panting heavily, his forehead covered in fine sweat, as if he had just finished a marathon. He had almost been scared out of his wits just now.
But now was clearly not the time to relax his vigilance. He adjusted his breathing while cautiously looking around.
Moonstone's hands emitted dazzling Light, ready to unleash firepower on the attacker at any moment.
Franklin and Valeria were a little at a loss. Before they could understand what had happened, Nightcrawler had already disappeared.
Forge also heard the commotion outside, picked up his Laser Gun, and cautiously walked out of the Tent.
Forge was just about to Inquire Peter about what had happened when he saw a cloud of blue Smoke suddenly appear behind Peter. As a member of the X-Men, he was all too familiar with this cloud of blue Smoke.
There was no time to warn him. Swallowing the words that were already on the tip of his tongue, Forge immediately raised his Gun and fired. A crimson Energy Beam shot towards Peter's back.
With years of cooperation, the moment Peter saw Forge fire, he knew what was happening. Without thinking, he immediately threw himself forward.
The crimson Light Beam almost grazed Peter's Hair, attacking Nightcrawler behind him. Peter's scalp felt hot, and he seemed to smell a burnt odor. The burn scars that had long healed even began to ache faintly. Of course, he knew this was psychological.
The Speed of the Light Beam was fast, but Nightcrawler was faster. With a puff of Smoke, it disappeared again. The Laser only shot through a cloud of Smoke.
"Damn it!" Forge cursed, holding his Gun and continuing to scan the surroundings.
Peter rolled with the momentum, not only escaping Nightcrawler's sneak attack but also darting to the side of the Fantastic Twins.
"Back to back!" Peter shouted loudly, no longer bothering to suppress his voice, shielding the Twins behind him.
The Twins heard and immediately turned around, vigilantly observing the Dead Corner in Peter's line of sight.
"Come over here, Forge!" Moonstone called out loudly, also moving closer to Yang Le at this time, because Yang Le was closer to her.
"Is it going to be endless like this?!" Forge said sharply, quickly running towards Yang Le and the others who were closer to him.
"If this goes on, we'll be dragged to Death by it sooner or later. Zombies don't need to sleep!"
Yang Le pondered for a moment, a White Light flashed, and he transformed into another Alien Hero Form.
The White Light dissipated, and an Alien with a white Shell, resembling a Crab in appearance, replaced Spidermonkey and appeared in the Original Place.
"Brainstorm!"
Yang Le habitually announced his name after Transformation, and then, relying on his four Crab legs, rotated his Body to scan the surrounding Environment.
"It changed into another form again!" Franklin exclaimed.
"A Crab?" Valeria guessed.
"Focus your Spirit, Children!" Peter reminded them. Sure enough, no matter how genius they were, they still had the minds of Children.
"Hmm~"
Yang Le scratched his chin with a Crab claw and said in a tone of pride that seemed ingrained in his bones.
"Simple and easy to guess."
After speaking, the Shell on his Crown suddenly flipped open, revealing a pink Brain, from which a yellow Electric Current shot out.
"Your next line is, Rawr!"
However, Nightcrawler did not appear. Yang Le's attack was only directed at an empty Corner. None of them understood what he was trying to do.
Suddenly, a cloud of blue Smoke dispersed. It was Nightcrawler. It launched another attack, and its Position of appearance was exactly the Corner that Yang Le had aimed at, which was originally empty.
"Rawr!"
The Bio-electricity precisely hit Nightcrawler in Mid-air. The powerful Electric Current first disrupted its biological functions, causing it to twitch uncontrollably. Finally, it began to Carbonization, turning into a piece of Charcoal, falling to the Ground, and turning into black Carbon Powder.
"Bingo!" Yang Le stretched out a Crab claw and aimed at a pile of Ashes on the Ground.
"Being unerringly accurate is always so delightful, but guessing the foolish actions of your rotten Brain doesn't make me much happier."
"How did you know it would appear there?" Valeria approached Yang Le.
"Be careful, Little Val," Peter reminded her. "There might be other attackers."
"There won't be any more in a short Time," Yang Le denied.
"This Guy obviously came alone. If he had teammates, as a decisive attacker, it would undoubtedly be more efficient than a loud and noisy attack. But they are a Hive Mind Entity, so there will definitely be other attackers later. This place is no longer safe."
"As for you, little girl," Yang Le turned his Body on his Crab legs and looked at Valeria.
"This is just basic calculation. I think you can understand what I'm saying if you think carefully."
"Don't let the thoughts of your Father bind you. Use your Brain more. It's not just for Inventions. Break away from those formulas, and you'll see a different World."
Yang Le patiently guided her. What he was imparting to Valeria was the Race of Brainstorm, the way of thinking of the Crab Brocatosian. In their Eyes, everything in the World is calculable, including battle.
What the Crab Brocatosian pride themselves on most is their calculative combat skills. In battle, they always calculate everything around them, relying on step-by-step planning to defeat their opponents.
Sometimes, even kicking up a Pebble can become the key to their victory.
Simply put, you can think of them as Jackie Chan fighting in a Furniture store, able to utilize anything.
After listening to Yang Le's words, Valeria fell into contemplation. After all, she was a Character whose intelligence was ranked among the top in the Marvel Universe. Miss Polymath quickly understood the key point.
This undoubtedly opened the Gate to a new World for her. It was like a spring breeze on her face. She closed her Eyes, and when she reopened her Eyes, the whole World had changed.
"So that's how it is," Valeria murmured softly. She understood why Nightcrawler had been hit. Just as Yang Le said, it was just simple calculation. Why hadn't she thought of it before?
Yang Le looked at the deeply shocked Valeria and nodded in satisfaction. Imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts – nothing was more satisfying than this.
It must be said, Brainstorm is really arrogant.
