Kryptonian: Man of Steel

Deep in the dark and depressing palace, Nero's figure was like a burning flame, illuminating all the surrounding haze.

He was holding the Crimson Queen, the blade that had accompanied him through countless battles. It was now emitting a dazzling red light, and every slight tremble of the sword tip seemed to herald the coming storm.

Nero's eyes flashed with unyielding determination. He knew that facing the Demon King Yurizeng in front of him, any slackness would be fatal.

"Taste this, Yurizon!"

Nero's voice was low and powerful. As the words fell, his whole body seemed to transform into a spinning top, and the Crimson Queen drew a series of gorgeous sword lights. Each blow contained enough power to shake the mountains.

However, this thunderous blow ended abruptly in front of the floating red crystal, as if it was gently lifted up by an invisible force and then slowly put down.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Nero's mouth. The smile contained both recognition of his opponent's strength and his desire to challenge himself.

He knew very well that Yuri was once the lord of the demon world, and his power was beyond the reach of ordinary people. But precisely because of this, this battle is even more exciting and worthy of him going all out.

"It's not over yet..."

Nero whispered, his voice soft but full of determination.

He quickly adjusted his posture and clenched the hilt of the Crimson Queen's sword with both hands. The magic power in his body surged wildly, as if he wanted to break through the constraints of his body and merge with this magical weapon.

With the skillful turning of his wrist, the Crimson Queen's sword suddenly burst out with a more dazzling light. With the roar of propellant, the sword blade seemed to be given life and rushed towards the red crystal again.

However, even such a full blow could not shake the crystal at all. The shimmering light around it became more and more dazzling, as if it were an indestructible magic barrier, blocking all attacks.

Nero's brows frowned slightly, but then relaxed, and his eyes shone even more fieryly.

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

Nero's voice was full of fighting spirit. He no longer held back his hand and began to turn the hilt of the sword crazily. Each turn was accompanied by violent vibrations of the Crimson Queen's sword and the raging flames.

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

However, the red crystal remained as stable as a mountain, and its light even began to reflect back on Nero's attack, reflecting back some of the power of the flames and propellant. Nero had to retreat quickly to avoid these dangerous energy fluctuations.

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

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

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

The Crimson Queen seemed to turn into an angry fire dragon in his hands, constantly spitting out blazing flames and destructive energy.

However, just as Nero was preparing to launch the final blow, Demon King Yurizen finally made a move.

He slowly raised his arm, and countless tentacles suddenly stretched out 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 level a hill.

When Nero saw this, he was not afraid. He quickly pulled out the blue rose from his waist with his left hand. This specially enchanted pistol became another weapon for him at this moment.

The muzzle of the blue rose flashes with blue light, which is a symbol of the concentration of Nero's magic power. He quickly aimed at the tentacles and pulled the trigger continuously.

“Bang bang!!!”

Two gunshots sounded almost simultaneously, piercing the silence of the palace.

An armor-piercing bullet in the front instantly penetrated the armor of the tentacle, exposing the fragile body inside; then, the blasting bullet in the back exploded inside, causing devastating damage.

The tentacles were blown to pieces and turned into clouds of black smoke that dissipated in the air.

But Urizen's tentacles seemed to be endless, and more tentacles continued to stretch out from the throne, launching an even more violent attack on Nero.

Nero did not flinch. He nimbly dodged the tentacle attacks while frantically pulling the trigger of the blue rose. Bullets poured out like a torrential rain, each one hitting the target accurately.

"ha!"

Nero struck again, and the demon's right wrist in his right hand lit up with terrifying magic power. The Crimson Queen also reached the sixth level, and cracks began to appear on the sword, but magma-like energy flowed in those cracks.

A vicious knife hit the red crystal of Demon King Yurizeng. This time, cracks finally appeared in the red crystal.

"What?"

Demon King Yurizen finally showed a surprised expression.

He didn't know how much thought and effort Luther put into beating Nero in order to let Nero beat him... no, training Nero.

Nero himself is not bad at anything and has a very good foundation.

He already had extraordinary physique and talent, but he just 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, believing in the power of natural growth.

Anyway, with their bloodline, Nero will definitely grow up to be the strongest.

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

Then everything will be different.

Nero has a goal to strive for, an unfathomable father, and his own cousin, who is also very powerful.

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

He is no longer satisfied with the status quo, and no longer content with a dull life.

He is eager to challenge, to surpass, and to prove his worth.

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

Compared with the Nero who had been comfortable for six years in the original plot, he is now undoubtedly more mature and stronger.

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

Just separated from the main body, the demon king Yuri still lacks strength.

However, with the Anti-Kabbalah Evil Tree constantly providing magic power, it can completely consume Nero alive.

Although the Nero in front of him is powerful, he has not yet reached the point where he is really afraid.

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