Marvel: Hunter-Chapter 332: Juggernaut

However, no matter what Blaine thought, no matter what Grandmaster’s true face was, and no matter whether there really was a god group imprisoned here, one thing was certain: today, Blaine had to take the metal key above his head.

Therefore, Blaine would fight this battle even if he could not win it.

He seemed to have thought for a long time, but in reality, it all happened within a few seconds in Blaine’s mind, because the very next moment, Grandmaster’s voice dragged him back from his thoughts.

"Hulk,"

"It’s time to show your strength."

"Come on, let me see how powerful and invincible you really are."

"Little Electro-Man,"

"Are you still Loki’s big brother?"

"Don’t want him to die?"

"Then knock your opponent down."

"Quack quack quack—"

After finishing his words, Grandmaster’s unruly laughter echoed throughout the arena. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Blaine raised his head and looked toward the audience stands. Just as Grandmaster had said, Loki was gone. Unexpectedly, Grandmaster actually dared to threaten Thor using Loki. With his devotion to his brother, Thor would naturally choose to fight Blaine.

"This is really tricky."

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster... you are truly despicable and shameless."

In his heart, Blaine sent his regards to all eighteen generations of Grandmaster’s ancestors.

It wasn’t that Blaine couldn’t fight—he simply didn’t want to. Fighting here was a waste of time and emotion. Every second was precious to Blaine. Who knew if delaying even for a moment might make him miss a tenth star core drifting in space?

At this point, Grandmaster no longer cared about money. As for the spectators in the stands, their lives and deaths depended on fate and fortune. Grandmaster wanted only Blaine’s life—and the star core in Blaine’s hand.

As the Collector’s elder brother and a member of the Cosmic Elders, how could Grandmaster not know the value of the five-level star core Blaine had taken out? He hadn’t mentioned it before simply to blur the truth and mislead Blaine, making him think Grandmaster couldn’t recognize its worth, so he could profit quietly.

But now, the reality was that Blaine had killed so many of his subordinates, causing heavy losses, and he still hadn’t obtained the star core.

Perhaps this was the consequence of underestimating his enemy. What Grandmaster never imagined was that Blaine himself was an iron rooster—no matter how much you squeezed him, you wouldn’t get a feather. If Grandmaster had known this earlier, he would never have entertained such thoughts...

At the same moment Grandmaster finished speaking, Hulk let out a roar and charged straight toward Blaine.

Not to mention the others—especially the monster clad in massive metal armor. The moment he entered the arena, he grabbed two unlucky people beside him and actually put on a show for Blaine, tearing a living person apart with his bare hands. And that wasn’t the end of it. After ripping them apart, he grabbed the bloody chunks of flesh and stuffed them directly into his mouth, treating people as if they were beef or donkey meat.

Hulk leapt forward, and that metal giant also went on a rampage. He ignored the corpses on the ground, stepping over them directly. Anyone who couldn’t dodge in time was sent flying.

An image suddenly surfaced in Blaine’s mind. This person resembled someone he knew—a certain opponent of X Men, named Juggernaut. That’s right, the image fit perfectly. As for why he was here as well, Blaine had no interest in finding out.

There was no time to think. Hulk had already arrived above Blaine’s head, trying to deliver a crushing blow.

Swish—

Blaine’s body moved instantly and vanished from the spot. In the next moment, the black-robed figure appeared above Hulk instead. Hulk’s reaction was extremely fast as well, crossing his giant axe and hammer over his head.

Boom——!

In mid-air, Blaine stepped down hard onto Hulk.

With a deafening bang, Hulk’s two weapons were dented by Blaine’s foot. Blaine’s kick drove Hulk downward, forcing his body a few centimeters into the ground, with even Hulk’s ankles sinking into the arena floor.

At that moment, Juggernaut also came crashing in. He was smashing through everything in his path, seemingly not even targeting Blaine deliberately.

Because in the very next second, Juggernaut’s shoulder slammed straight into Hulk’s chest.

...

In an instant, even Hulk’s solid body was knocked flat. Blaine could see clearly—if Hulk’s feet hadn’t been embedded in the ground, he would have been sent flying again and again.

One had to know that Juggernaut was a ruthless existence, capable of smashing through high-rise buildings and tearing apart steel plates with his bare hands. Hulk was strong enough to endure such a collision, but even so, the pain forced a furious roar from his throat.

Juggernaut, on the other hand, seemed even more irritable after crashing into the wrong target. He bent his knees slightly, preparing to leap up and grab Blaine.

"Little thing, eat for a few more years before coming out to play."

"Fight me? You’re not qualified yet."

Just as he was about to grab Blaine’s leg, Blaine’s body vanished once more. In the blink of an eye, Blaine appeared at Juggernaut’s side. Without any mercy, he delivered a 360-degree spinning kick from the air, smashing straight into Juggernaut’s waist.

Juggernaut was already airborne, having missed his grab, with nowhere to apply his strength. Faced with Blaine’s kick, he had no way to evade it.

Crack—

A crisp sound of breaking bone pierced Blaine’s ears. Juggernaut’s body flew out like a cannonball, smashing through the protective barrier and hurtling several meters into the spectator stands before finally stopping.

Juggernaut probably never imagined that Blaine possessed such terrifying strength—that a single kick could send him flying from the center of the arena all the way into the auditorium.

He collapsed onto the ground, unable to rise again, a shattered rib having pierced into his internal organs.

In fact, many people mistakenly believed that Juggernaut was a mutant. In truth, his power came from the magic of the evil god Cyytorak. Cyytorak created a ruby imbued with his own magic power, and anyone who touched that gem would gain its power and become Juggernaut.

Juggernaut’s strength lay in his flesh and durability. Cyytorak’s magic granted him inexhaustible power and made his body nearly indestructible.

He could easily catch bullets, withstand ordinary rockets, and even resist Thor’s Mjolnir and Wolverine’s adamantium claws. Once Juggernaut started moving, almost nothing could stop him.

Basically, he was comparable to Blaine’s early-stage physique, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to break through his defenses. However, Juggernaut’s self-healing ability was not particularly outstanding—perhaps that was his weakness. After all, he had never imagined that someone could shatter his ribs with a single kick.

Just because ordinary people couldn’t break him didn’t mean Blaine couldn’t.

Because Blaine was not an ordinary person.
