“I can deal with one… at most.”
Malice needs no description; even from a distance, Wen Yu could sense the hostility and threat radiating from the two lava giants.
Their power was immense, and while their intelligence might be lacking, they were still wise enough to recognize a threat. Once everyone appeared before these two behemoths and displayed any power that could threaten their lives... there was no need to say more; don’t expect these two hulks to continue squabbling amongst themselves.
The strength exhibited by the two giants was not particularly impressive, at least not to Wen Yu. However, given that it was an internal conflict—maybe it was more appropriate to describe it as a minor dispute—it did not truly represent their real power. Based on the strength they were currently showing and factoring in a 5x increase, this would theoretically be the maximum power the lava giants could unleash in a life-or-death struggle.
In such a scenario, even if Wen Yu exerted all his strength, he could only take down one in thirty minutes, and if the two worked together, Wen Yu would only have the option of fleeing.
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, Bai fell silent.
Wen Yu could handle one, but how would they deal with the other?
Leave it to Leogua? Don't be ridiculous; based on the power demonstrated by the two lava giants, it was definitely beyond Leogua's capabilities. As for the remaining Avengers, they were only suited to play a supporting role.
As for taking a detour, that was even less acceptable; who knew if there were more of these strange creatures elsewhere?
After a long while, Bai finally sighed, as if he had made some sort of decision. Gritting his teeth, he resolutely said, "I have some backup. If I use it, I can take out one, and you can handle the other. That should work, right?"
"That might work... but I think you can see that there can't be just two lava puppets here. Once the fighting starts, the shockwaves will surely attract more unknown entities. The variables are immense," Wen Yu said expressionlessly. He wasn’t afraid or hesitant; regardless of the battle's outcome, with the Heaven-Covering Robe, Wen Yu could always save his own life. This was merely a piece of kind advice to his ally. Since entering this place, Bai had lost his composure and intelligence, becoming utterly confused. His judgment and decisions had fallen to a level that even Wen Yu couldn't tolerate. Although this had little to do with Wen Yu, he still felt it necessary to offer a few words of caution.
However, Bai was ultimately a person of strong will. He did not heed Wen Yu's advice but took a deep breath and pulled out a small wooden doll from his Spatial Ring.
"Get ready."
Bai made up his mind, while Wen Yu quietly vanished from the spot, slowly making his way closer to the two lava giants.
...
The collision between the giants continued.
The two massive creatures, each over a kilometer tall, were fervently expressing their romance and passion in the sea of lava. Every punch they threw would create massive waves of fire, while the Rain of Fire fell from the sky, crashing onto the lava giants, only to become nourishment for one another.
Fire-based power was ineffective against them; instead, it would heal their wounds. Unfortunately, both lava giants could only use fire-based powers, making their battle a grand fireworks show. The original intended prey—Ye Nan—had long since left the battlefield, flying far away.
The weak intellect turned the fight between the two giants into a senseless farce!
The low rumbling continued, and Wen Yu had no idea what the two giants were communicating about, but that no longer mattered...
As Wen Yu flew closer, stopping a kilometer away from the two lava giants, Bai was finally ready.
The wooden doll in his hand emitted a white light, increasingly intensifying until it became as radiant as the sun. At that point, Bai released it and stepped back two paces.
The wooden doll, no longer under Bai's control, floated in mid-air. Then, within the white light, the doll began to expand until it grew nearly two meters tall, and the white light gradually receded, revealing that the original wooden doll had transformed into a strong man with white hair.
