Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 851 I am your father!

The body of the Assault Demon Soldier was deeply embedded in the tree trunk, with only half of its twisted body exposed, struggling in pain. However, its struggle seemed so powerless in front of Nero, like a beast caught in a trap, waiting for the judgment of fate.

Nero didn't give it any chance to breathe. He took a few steps to the tree, his eyes flashing with unquestionable determination. He took a deep breath, and the muscles in his body instantly tensed, as if he had accumulated all his strength.

Then, he threw a punch with great force, the wind from his fist whistling, and it struck the abdomen of the powerful demon soldier with destructive force.

"Crack!" With a crisp breaking sound, the big tree that originally required two or three people to hug collapsed under Nero's punch. The broken trunk flew everywhere, raising a cloud of dust.

The Assault Demon Soldier was almost blown into two by this terrifying force, his flesh and blood were blurred, and the fire of life was quickly extinguished.

Its eyes, filled with fear and unwillingness, finally fixed on Nero's stern face, becoming its last memory in this world.

The battle ended so quickly and brutally that everything around him seemed unusually silent. Nero stood there, panting, his eyes scanning the surroundings, as if to confirm whether there were any other threats.

Then he saw a bunch of devil scarecrows jumping out.

"Oh, please."

Nero glanced in the direction of the church. It had already started.

These damn demons!
Nero was furious and interrupted himself to go see Jillie.

Luther pondered.

"As expected of the strongest child of the Sparta family, he can kill a demon with his brute force. It's a pity that his bloodline is impure."

Luther shook his head.

Dante and Virgil both have half Spartan demon blood, while Nero probably only has one quarter?

This meant that even though he had awakened demonic power due to the Assault Demon Soldier, he was completely unable to control it.

The silly boy thought that he was infected and would become a demon like the humans he dealt with sooner or later. His complicated psychology made him choose to conceal it.

Luther thought this was a good opportunity.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

Gunfire rang out.

A poor witcher with silver hair and red clothes who was watching the battle on another roof suddenly stopped.

But after thinking about it, he headed towards the church.

Nero was shocked. The next moment, he found that all the demon scarecrows around him were shattered, and black insects flew out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He looked up and saw Luther, who was wearing a pure white windbreaker and holding two guns in his hands.

A pair of gorgeously shaped Desert Eagle pistols, with noble golden bodies covered with mysterious and delicate textures, and sharp blades shining brightly under the muzzles.

And it is a modified version of the large Desert Eagle.

"Thanks?"

Nero looked at the other man.

"Son, I finally found you!"

As a result, after Luther put away his guns, he looked at Nero with surprise and said.

"Walter?"

Nero was confused and wondered if he had met a psychopath.

"Nero, your name is Nero, right? You have short white hair."

Luther continued.

"The name Nero was given to me by the people at the orphanage."

Nero said calmly while looking at Luther.

Nero was an orphan since childhood. He was found in an orphanage as a baby, wrapped in black cloth, so he was named Nero.

"I know, because I was the one who put you in the orphanage."

Luther nodded and said.

Nero didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Get out of the way, I don't have a father." Nero was evasive and didn't intend to pay attention to Luther, the father who appeared out of nowhere.

"Nero, I'm sorry for leaving you for so many years. I had no choice but to put you in an orphanage in order to save your mother."

Luther said.

"Save my mother?"

Nero actually still cares a lot, but he is just very confused now.

"That's right. The demons from the Demon Realm sent people to attract my attention and then kidnapped your mother and you. After I rescued you, your mother had already been taken to the Demon Realm, so in order to save her, I chose to go to the Demon Realm."

Luther was talking serious nonsense.

Nero didn't know whether he should believe Luther's words. He had never encountered such complicated things in his life.

Subconsciously, Nero longs for his family, as can be seen from Devil May Cry 5.

But this incident happened so suddenly that Nero was not prepared at all.

"I'm sorry, Nero, I couldn't save your mother."

Luther's next words broke Nero's defense.

"why?"

Nero couldn't accept it. Since he had abandoned him and entered the demon world without hesitation, why didn't he save his mother?
"Because it's too late."

Luther said regretfully.

Nero's heart tightened.

"Is it because you saved me first?"

Nero wavered.

"No, it's my incompetence. All the misfortunes in the world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved. If I were strong enough, as strong as Sparta, I would be able to save you and your mother."

Luther said with self-pity.

Nero was at a loss as Luther blamed himself.

"…This isn't your fault, it's the devil's fault."

Nero opened his mouth and said.

"I came back this time just to see how you are doing. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well."

Luther looked like he was about to leave at any moment, and seemed to be quite distant.

"You want to leave?"

Nero was a little angry.

"I shouldn't have stayed. In order to prevent more tragedies from happening, I have to kill more demons and save the unfortunate. By the way, I haven't been with you since you were a child. This is a gift for you."

Luther pulled a knife from his back and threw it to Nero.

"This is?"

Nero held the broadsword; he had his own weapon.

The Crimson Queen is a weapon modified by Nero himself. Its strengthening system is more durable than the Caliburn used by the cult, but also more violent. The Crimson Queen has a unique charging system that can make the attack more powerful.

The hilt of the sword has a device similar to a motorcycle handlebar, which releases flammable liquid when pressed, thereby spraying flames.

However, in the official novel, before Nero's right hand mutated, he encountered a difficult demon (actually the Assault Demon Soldier in the game), and his EX reserves were insufficient, so he had no choice but to release his EX to the maximum.

After the battle, the propulsion device was burned out due to excessive use of EX, so Nero sent the Scarlet Queen to the technical department for repair. This is why Nero did not carry the Scarlet Queen at the beginning of the 4th generation.

Now this big sword makes Nero feel very special.

"This is one of my weapons, the magic sword Apophis."

Luther said.
