Chapter 374: The Big Event - The Savage League (7) The God of War

Yang Le's kick was no less powerful than the punches he had thrown before, the gale force created by the immense power even parted the fur of the beast-transformed Wonder Woman.

"Clang!"

A sound like the clash of metal echoed as Wonder Woman raised her beastly claws to block Yang Le's attack. The tremendous force transmitted through her body to the ground, causing it to crack, the fissures spreading out hundreds of meters.

Wonder Woman roared, and with the flexing of her muscles, Yang Le, who was locked in a contest of strength with her, felt a tremendous force surge forth, and then he was sent flying.

Before Yang Le could adjust his posture in the air, Big Barda, who had been watching intently from the side, had already pounced. Her megaton club came crashing down again, as if to cleave Yang Le in two.

Yang Le's lips curled into a slight smile as azure lightning erupted from his body, striking the unprepared Big Barda squarely, causing her to howl in agony.

Ordinary electricity, unless reaching an unthinkable level, would hardly affect a superhuman of Big Barda's caliber, but what Yang Le released was no ordinary lightning; it was the lightning of Thor.

Yang Le's Asgardian genes were taken from Thor, the healthiest and most powerful of the Asgardians. Perhaps because the genes came from Thor, Yang Le could also unleash divine lightning, only not as potent as Thor himself.

This was only natural, as the power of the Asgardians came from their godhood. The physical abilities of ordinary Asgardians without godhood were only several times that of ordinary humans, but once they possessed godhood, their power would increase exponentially.

If the genes Yang Le had scanned were those of an ordinary Asgardian, their strength might not even match Four Arms, but Yang Le scanned Thor's genes, and perhaps because of this, he had caught a ride on the coattails and also possessed godhood, and this godhood was that of War!

"Bang!"

Another head-on collision, but surprisingly, Big Barda, who should have been evenly matched with Yang Le, only felt her beastly claws go numb, almost unable to hold her megaton club.

Even in her bestial frenzy, Big Barda could sense something was amiss; this guy in front of her seemed to be getting stronger and stronger!

"Hoo~"

He gently blew on his fist, and the wounds left from the earlier collision with the megaton club disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The corners of Yang Le's mouth lifted slightly; he could feel power constantly surging from his body, as if he were on drugs.

This was only natural, because due to his mastery of war, all conflict would turn into Yang Le's power. As long as war continued, Yang Le would have an endless source of power, just like Ares in the DC Universe. And now, because of the beast transformations, conflict was constant, so Yang Le naturally grew stronger and stronger.

Yang Le straightened up, and without even looking, he swiftly raised his right hand and grabbed the neck of Hawkgirl, who was trying to sneak attack him. Lifting Hawkgirl in front of him, Yang Le raised his left hand, crackling with lightning, and slammed it hard into Hawkgirl's chest.

Azure lightning snakes burrowed into Hawkgirl's body along Yang Le's left hand. With the latter's wail, a red starfish covered in tentacles, unable to withstand the divine lightning's stimulation, crawled out of Hawkgirl's mouth, trying to escape.

How could Yang Le let it get its way? He dropped the gradually recovering Hawkgirl, and his right hand turned into a blur, firmly grabbing the Starro mutate that had just emerged.

Yang Le looked disdainfully at the wriggling, struggling Starro mutate in his hand. To break free of Yang Le's grip, the Starro mutate kept extending its tentacles, binding and lashing at Yang Le's right hand, but its strength was too weak; it couldn't even tickle Yang Le.

Dodging attacks from Wonder Woman and Big Barda, Yang Le lowered his right hand slightly, and the Omnitrix's gene repair function activated, its target being the Starro mutate in Yang Le's hand.

Yang Le had wanted to do this when he defeated Black Lightning, but Yang Le's attacks were too heavy, directly killing that Starro mutate, so he was much more restrained when dealing with the one inside Hawkgirl.

It was just a guess before, but after seeing the Omnitrix's feedback, Yang Le could finally confirm that this guy in his hand was indeed a mutate of Starro the Conqueror.

Knowing the details made things easier. After Yang Le dodged Wonder Woman and Big Barda's attacks several more times, the gene repair was finally complete.

After the Omnitrix's repair, Starro's original scarlet skin had turned purple and blue, and its large, raging eye reopened, looking around in confusion.

"You're awake, little guy," Yang Le kicked Big Barda, forcing her and Wonder Woman back, then looked down at the Starro in his hand.

"?"

Starro was an intelligent life form, naturally able to understand Yang Le's meaning. Although it couldn't speak, it could still communicate with other beings through its telepathic abilities.

Feeling the confusion transmitted by Starro, Yang Le understood that this little guy probably didn't know what had happened before, but he didn't have time to explain now, as he still had two enemies to deal with.

"Listen to me, little guy, if you want to save your little life, then stay put," Yang Le placed Starro on a pile of rubble. "I have to go take care of some things first, and when I get back, we'll have a good chat."

After speaking, Yang Le ignored the blinking Starro and turned to face the two charging Wonder Woman again.

Facing the ferocious beasts, Yang Le reached out his palm, electricity surging from his hand. The Nth metal sword lying not far away flew into Yang Le's hand at great speed; after all, electromagnetism is one family.

Although Yang Le could rely on his enhanced body to fight Wonder Woman head-on, it would still hurt. Before, it was just the power of war constantly pouring out of his body, causing Yang Le to get high like he was on drugs. Now, with the Starro interlude, Yang Le had calmed down and would no longer do things like colliding flesh and weapons.

With the sword in hand, Yang Le's pupils contracted slightly, and a hundred forms of martial arts surged from his mind. Even though Wonder Woman and Big Barda had not yet approached, Yang Le slashed out with the sword in his hand.

All the hairs on Wonder Woman's body stood on end. The blessings of the gods had not failed; she was the first to sense the danger and quickly stopped, but Big Barda next to her was a step slower, only having time to block with her club.

"Clang!"

The club slipped from her grasp, and several wounds opened on Big Barda's beastly claws. Yang Le held the sword in reverse and stabbed the hilt straight into Big Barda's chest. With the constant pressure, the Starro mutate finally couldn't hold on and escaped.
