Chapter 85: 85 The Girl Who Commands Electricity and Magnetism
"Ivan Vanko..." The girl lowered her golden eyes.
"Hey! Big octopus, look this way! Your opponent is me!"
"Watch out, Hitomi! The energy readings show that this guy has nearly twice the power of what we faced before." Natasha said, her voice filled with concern.
"I'm not sure if your equipment can handle it. What about that electromagnetic cannon? That should be more reliable."
'Twice the power?'
Kagura was taken aback for a moment, then she activated her holographic UI and scanned Vanko's whip-like armor.
[Dual Palladium Arc Reactor, radiation levels exceeding safe limits.]
[Continued use will result in severe palladium poisoning.]
"Tsk... This Russian really has guts, doesn't he?" The girl muttered to herself.
"Vanko, what are you trying to achieve by going this far?"
"Ah, Flashblade. It's you again, hehe..." Ivan slowly spoke.
"Why do you always get in my way between me and Tony Stark?"
"I have no grudge with you, my target is Tony Stark."
"Mr. Stark is my family." Kagura answered calmly.
"So, clearly, I won't let you harm him."
"Oh? Family, huh." Ivan paused for a moment.
"Alright, then I'll use your corpse to surprise Tony Stark!"
With a swift motion, "Whipstrike" cracked its electric whips, closing in on Kagura.
Seeing the fierce attack, Kagura sighed lightly.
"So... no room for negotiation, huh?"
"In our world, we communicate with blood and fire!"
Ivan didn't seem interested in wasting time talking.
With a whip swing, the battle began.
"Fine, then. Have it your way!"
Kagura slightly bent her knees, releasing ripples of core energy around her.
"I don't like fighting or killing, and I certainly don't take lives lightly, but I'm not gentle enough to run away from a fight!"
'Bzzzzt—!'
The electric whips came slashing toward her.
Kagura leaped into the air, gliding like a swift swallow, skillfully dodging between arcs of electricity and searing hot whips.
[Electric Darts Deployed]
'Whoosh— whoosh— whoosh—'
While evading, several electric darts shot out toward Ivan.
These small, handheld darts can be fired either wirelessly or with a wired connection, depending on the situation.
They were built with tiny capacitors to discharge significant electrical power even in wireless mode.
"The Ark Reactor technology belongs to the world. It doesn't belong to Anton Vanko, nor to Howard Stark." Kagura calmly countered.
"When the world is ready to embrace it, the Ark Reactor will shine a light for all of humanity."
"But you don't understand how powerful the rage of revenge can be, little girl."
Ivan sneered and advanced, his electric whips ready to strike.
"Perhaps you're right, but Stark must pay for what he did!"
"I see." Kagura's golden eyes flickered.
"Thanks for understanding, but I'm not letting you go through with this."
[Memory Scan Requested, Key Parameters: Thunder Gun, Thunderstrike, Magneto.]
[Deep Memory Scan Complete, Memory Fragments Confirmed.]
[Existing Skill Set Connection Confirmed.]
[Concept Skill Combination Successful.]
[New Attack Skill Acquired.]
[Electromagnetic Control/10]
[Electromagnetic Control: Activates dynamic conductivity in the body, granting full control over electricity and magnetic fields for 10 seconds.]
"You think my abilities are just about electricity and magnetism?"
"Fine, then let me show you what true mastery of 'electricity and magnetism' looks like."
Kagura slowly raised her sword and assumed a stance, the tip aimed at Ivan's steel helmet.
[Electromagnetic Control: Activated.]
Her core energy dropped by 10%, tiny blue energy lines glimmered across her body, and the air around her began to buzz, crackling with miniature electrical sparks.
"Don't be foolish. My battle suit can even withstand lightning!"
Ivan swung his electric whips toward her, determined to strike.
This time, Kagura stood still, lightly swiping her sword.
In an instant, it was as if an invisible force guided his electric whips.
The whips, crackling with arcs and plasma, were redirected by the sword's tip, deflecting unnaturally to the side.
The laws of physics seemed to fail here as the electricity followed the sword's blade.
'Bzzzzzzt—!'
The sword became enveloped in chaotic arcs of electricity, resembling blue flames, as it blazed with a radiant glow.
"What... is this?"
"This is the power of electricity and magnetism."
Kagura smiled softly, stepping forward and gliding past the now-dominant whips, which had lost all power.
"You... you know nothing about electromagnetic power..."
'Vroom—!'
The overwhelming electric current tore through both of Whipstrike's Ark Reactors, incapacitating every system and completely disabling him.
Her blade slashed through his metallic armor, tearing Ivan's battle suit apart...
