Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 878 The first scene of loving father and filial son!
Deep in the dim and depressing palace, Nero's figure was like a burning flame, illuminating all the haze around him.

He held the Crimson Queen in his hand, the sword that had accompanied him through countless battles. At this moment, it was emitting a dazzling red light, and every slight tremor of the tip of the sword seemed to foreshadow the coming storm.

Nero's eyes flashed with indomitable spirit and determination. He knew that facing the Demon Lord Yurizen, any slackness would be fatal.

"Try this, Yurizen!"

Nero's voice was low and powerful. As he finished speaking, he seemed to turn into a spinning top. The Scarlet Queen drew brilliant sword lights, and each strike contained enough power to shake the mountains.

However, this powerful blow came to an abrupt end in front of the floating red crystal, as if it was gently lifted up and then slowly put down by an invisible force.

A faint smile appeared on Nero's lips, and that smile showed both recognition of his opponent's strength and a desire for the challenge.

He knew very well that Yuri was once the Lord of the Demon Realm, and his power was so strong that no ordinary person could match him. But precisely because of this, this battle was even more exciting and worth his all.

"It's not over yet..."

Nero whispered, his voice was soft but full of determination.

He quickly adjusted his posture, tightly gripping the hilt of the Scarlet Queen with both hands. The magic power in his body surged wildly, as if it wanted to break through the constraints of his body and merge with this magical weapon.

With the skillful turn of his wrist, the sword of the Scarlet Queen suddenly burst into a brighter light, and accompanied by the roar of propellant, the blade seemed to be given life and rushed towards the red crystal again.

However, even this full-strength attack failed to shake the crystal in the slightest. The glimmering light around it became more and more dazzling, as if it was an indestructible magical barrier that kept all attacks out.

Nero's brows frowned slightly, but then relaxed again, and his eyes flashed with an even hotter light.

"In that case, let me see how long you can hold out!"

Nero's voice was full of fighting spirit. He no longer held back and began to turn the hilt of the sword frantically. Every turn was accompanied by violent vibrations of the Scarlet Queen's sword and raging flames.

The entire palace seemed to tremble at this moment, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and burning.

However, the red crystal remained as steady as a rock, and its light even began to counterattack Nero's attack, bouncing back some of the power of the flames and propellants. Nero had to retreat quickly to avoid these dangerous energy fluctuations.

But he did not give up, instead it aroused his fighting spirit even more.

"Then I can only do my best to beat you to pieces!"

Nero roared and rushed towards the crystal again. This time, he not only used all the power of the Scarlet Queen, but also stimulated the potential in his body.

In his hands, the Scarlet Queen seemed to have turned into an angry fire dragon, constantly spewing out blazing flames and destructive energy.

However, just as Nero was about to launch the final attack, the Demon Lord Yurizen finally made a move.

He slowly raised his arm, and countless tentacles suddenly extended from the throne-like object, attacking Nero like dark poisonous snakes.

These tentacles are not only extremely fast, but also incredibly powerful. Each one is enough to flatten a mountain to the ground.

Nero was not afraid when he saw this. He quickly pulled out the Azure Rose from his waist with his left hand. This pistol, which had been specially enchanted and strengthened, became his other powerful weapon.

The muzzle of the Blue Rose's gun flashed with blue light, which was a symbol of Nero's concentrated magic power. He quickly aimed at the tentacles and pulled the trigger continuously.

“Bang bang!!!”

Two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, breaking the silence of the palace.

The armor-piercing bomb in front instantly penetrated the tentacle's armor, revealing the fragile body inside; then, the explosive bomb behind exploded inside it, causing devastating damage. The tentacle was blown to pieces and turned into black smoke that dissipated in the air.

But Yurizen's tentacles seemed endless. More tentacles continued to extend from the throne and launched an even more violent attack on Nero.

Nero did not flinch, he dodged the tentacles' attacks flexibly while frantically pulling the trigger of the Azure Rose. Bullets poured out like a rainstorm, and each one hit the target accurately.

"what!"

Nero attacked again, and the demon's right wrist lit up with terrifying magic power. The Scarlet Queen also reached the sixth level, and cracks began to appear on the sword body, but those cracks were filled with magma-like energy.

A vicious knife struck the red crystal of the Demon Lord Yurizen, and this time, cracks finally appeared on the red crystal.

"what?"

Demon Lord Yurizen finally showed a surprised expression.

He didn't know how much thought and effort Luther had put into beating... no, training Nero, just to get him to beat him up.

Nero himself is not bad in any way and has a very good foundation.

He originally possessed an extraordinary physique and talent, but he lacked a mentor who could lead him to the top.

Dante, although he had high hopes for Nero, chose a more casual approach to education, trusting in the power of natural growth.

Anyway, with their bloodline, Nero will definitely be the strongest when he grows up.

Of course, now there is Luther and the so-called Spartan brother, the magic swordsman Apophis.

Then everything would be different.

Nero had a goal to strive for, an unfathomable father, and his own cousin, and he was also very powerful.

At the same time, Nero's inner world was quietly changing.

He is no longer satisfied with the status quo and is no longer content with an ordinary life.

He is eager for challenges, eager to surpass himself, and eager to prove his worth.

This strong desire to improve himself drives him to keep moving forward and constantly break through himself.

Compared to the Nero in the original plot who had lived in comfort for six years, he is now undoubtedly more mature and stronger.

However, at this moment, he was still in the critical period of recovering his strength and could not easily exert his full strength. Although the Anti-Kabbalah Evil Tree provided him with a constant supply of magic power, the blood absorbed was still not enough to restore him to his peak state.

Having just separated from his main body, Demon King Yuri still lacks strength.

However, with the constant supply of magic power from the Evil Tree of Reverse Kabbalah, it could easily kill Nero alive.

Although the Nero in front of him was powerful, he was not yet powerful enough to make him truly fearful.

The Demon King Yurizen slowly raised his right hand, and strange energy fluctuations began to surge in the air.
