Chapter 12 The Bald Hero

The backlash from the demonization wasn't as severe as Feng Bujue had imagined. Perhaps it was because his endurance had improved, or maybe the Tinfoil Foil Armor had some kind of built-in damage reduction effect... In any case, Feng Bujue had basically regained his mobility after falling for a minute.

However, his stamina and Spirit Energy Value had only recovered about 1%, not enough to allow him to use any skills.

[Upper troposphere crossed, pressure increasing, temperature rising...]

[Propulsion device ready.]

[Standard environment for opening the mask is expected in seventeen seconds.]

"Can you detect Dr. D's current situation?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.

[Target distance exceeds visual signal search range.]

"Other detection methods?" Even though Brother Jue was wearing this armor for the first time, he could be sure... the Tinfoil Foil Armor had more than one detection method.

[Traditional and energy source radars cannot locate relevant signals.]

"Tch... a liquefiable body still has its advantages..." Brother Jue clicked his tongue upon hearing that.

Just as he was talking to the armor's AI, the seventeen seconds were almost up.

After entering a safe altitude, the tinfoil mask that covered Feng Bujue's face unfolded by itself.

In the next second, the biting air cut at Brother Jue's face like a knife, and the thin air made it somewhat difficult for him to breathe; fortunately... his Survival Value had recovered a little, and this degree of damage wasn't enough to make him lose more than 1% of his health, so...

"Well... I'll have to use it after all..." Although he had planned to do so, Feng Bujue still hesitated for a moment when he really held [Chuck Norris's Razor] in his hand.

Because... every time he sacrificed his hair for strength, he felt like he was selling out his integrity...

Zzzzzz—

Even the sound of the violent wind couldn't drown out the buzzing of the razor.

Accompanied by this buzzing sound, Brother Jue's slightly messy black hair drifted away in strands in the air...

...

At the same moment, in the ruins on the ground.

Froggy Hero finally woke up. He looked at Captain Crapstar sitting by the wall, whose complexion had also improved, and Tinfoil Foil Hero, who no longer had his armor, and asked, "Um... how long was I unconscious?"

"Not long," Tinfoil Foil Hero replied. "The battle isn't over yet..."

Hearing this, Froggy Hero's expression tightened again: "Then... where did Dr. D go?"

"He's in the sky..." The expression on Tinfoil Foil Hero's face was a little subtle when he said this.

"The sky?" Froggy Hero said, looking around, and combined with the fact that Tinfoil Foil Hero's armor was gone, he immediately made a deduction: "Could it be... that Pokerface is fighting him in your armor?"

"No." At this moment, Black Hole Queen, who was standing nearby, interjected, "Their battle... won't officially begin until they both return to the ground."

Boom—

Before she finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly fell hundreds of meters away, creating a crater in the ground with a loud bang.

Before the flying gravel and dust could settle, the figure in the pit leaped out.

"Hmph... a bizarre tactic." Dr. D, as he jumped out of the pit, gave Brother Jue this assessment.

During the fall, Dr. D hadn't been idle. He used the ability of the King of Ten Thousand Insects to readjust his DNA again, strengthening his body's combat abilities.

At this moment, he covered his body with a "Poisonous Carapace," based on Mr. Poor's super physical qualities... and mixed in insect-level mutation power; in this way, his attack, defense, and speed were greatly improved.

Therefore, even after falling from tens of thousands of meters in the sky, he didn't smash into pieces... instead, he deeply penetrated the ground and jumped out unscathed.

"Haven't landed yet..." After standing still, Dr. D first looked up at the sky and muttered, "Could it be that he activated the armor's flight device and took the opportunity to escape..."

After waiting for about five seconds, Dr. D stopped this futile action and turned his attention to Tinfoil Foil Hero and the others hundreds of meters away. A moment later, he unceremoniously launched an energy wave at them.

Just when the three of them thought they were done for, another figure descended from the sky in a flash, just in time to block the trajectory of the energy wave attack.

The beam used by Dr. D had no energy limit; he could continue it for as long as he wanted; moreover, he had no intention of "stopping shooting to see the condition of that figure."

So, he maintained the energy wave output and approached step by step.

And the figure blocking him stood still, steadily blocking this powerful energy attack.

"Pokerface!" Tinfoil Foil Hero, who was behind the figure, was backlit, but he could still recognize the back view of the person wearing the Tinfoil Foil Armor, so he quickly reminded him, "Don't block it head-on! His energy is..."

"...is infinite," Feng Bujue interrupted him in a lazy tone. "Ah... I know that."

As he spoke, the Tinfoil Foil Armor on Brother Jue's body disintegrated and turned into dust under the attack of the energy wave...

The armor didn't have much energy left to begin with, so being continuously exposed to such an attack naturally led to this result.

However, Feng Bujue himself, who had lost the protection of the armor, still stood tall and motionless (thanks to the system's protection, Brother Jue's clothes were spared, otherwise he would probably be stark naked right now).

"Oh?" On the other side, after approaching a few dozen meters, Dr. D also noticed the abnormality. At this time, he stopped releasing the energy wave and stared intently...

"This is interesting..." After looking for a few seconds, Dr. D looked at Brother Jue and said, "You're strong enough to ignore Thousand-Eye Hero's energy wave?" He only wanted to say this sentence, but for some reason, he couldn't help but add, "And... why is your hair gone?"

"Isn't it obvious..." Feng Bujue glared with his dead fish eyes and answered Dr. D's two questions in one sentence, "I'm bald, and I'm stronger."

Hearing this line, Dr. D inexplicably wanted to laugh, but he didn't. Instead, he looked at Black Hole Queen and asked, "Is this the existence you mentioned... who has a higher realm than me and understands more than me?"

"Yes," Black Hole Queen replied calmly. "This is... the strongest hero."
