The backlash from the demonization wasn't as severe as Feng Bujue had imagined, perhaps because his resilience had improved, or perhaps because the Tin Foil Hero's armor had some kind of damage-reducing effect… In any case, Feng Bujue basically regained his mobility after falling for a minute.

However, his Stamina and Spirit Points had only recovered about 1%, not enough for him to unleash any skills.

[Upper troposphere passed, pressure increasing, temperature rising…]

[Propulsion device ready.]

[Standard environment for opening the mask expected in seventeen seconds.]

"Can you detect Dr. D's current situation?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.

[Target distance exceeds visual signal search range.]

"Any other detection methods?" Even though Brother Jue was wearing this armor for the first time, he could tell… the Tin Foil Hero's armor must have more than one detection method.

[Traditional and energy source radars unable to locate related signals.]

"Tch… a liquefiable body still has its advantages…" Brother Jue spat, hearing that.

As he talked with the armor's AI, seventeen seconds had passed.

After entering a safe altitude, the tin foil mask covering Feng Bujue's face unfolded on its own.

In the next second, the biting air cut at Brother Jue's face like a knife, and the thin air made it somewhat difficult for him to breathe; fortunately… his Survival Value had recovered a bit, and this level of damage wasn't enough to drop him by more than 1% of his health, so…

"Well… I'll have to use it after all…" Even though he had planned to do this for a long time, when he really held [Chuck Norris's Shaving Razor] in his hand, Feng Bujue still hesitated for a moment.

Because… every time he sacrificed his hair for strength, he always felt like he was selling out his integrity…

Zzzzzz…

Even the violent sound of the wind couldn't cover the sound of the razor vibrating.

Accompanied by this zzzzzz sound, Brother Jue's slightly messy black hair also drifted away in strands…

…

At the same time, in the ruins on the ground.

Toad Hero finally woke up. He looked at Shit Star Captain sitting by the wall, whose expression had also eased, and Tin Foil Hero, who no longer had his armor, and asked, "Um… how long was I unconscious?"

"Not long," Tin Foil Hero replied. "The battle isn't over yet…"

Hearing this, Toad Hero's expression tightened again: "Then… where did Dr. D go?"

"He's in the sky…" Tin Foil Hero's expression was a little subtle when he replied.

"The sky?" Toad Hero said, looking around, and combining the fact that Tin Foil Hero's armor was gone, he immediately made a deduction, "Could it be… that Poker Hero is wearing your armor and fighting him?"

"No." At that moment, Black Hole Queen, who was standing nearby, interjected first, "Their battle… will only officially begin when they both return to the ground."

Boom—

Before she could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly fell a hundred meters away, creating a crater in the ground and causing a loud noise.

Before the splashing gravel and dust could land, the figure in the crater had already jumped out.

"Hmph… a ridiculous tactic." Dr. D gave Brother Jue this evaluation as he jumped out of the pit.

During the fall, the Doctor didn't waste time. He used the King of Ten Thousand Insects' ability to readjust his DNA again, strengthening his body's combat capabilities.

At this moment, he covered his body with a "Poison Shell," and on the basis of Mr. Mediocre's super physical fitness… he also mixed in insect-level mutation power; in this way, his attack, defense, and speed were greatly improved.

Therefore, even after falling from a height of tens of thousands of meters, he didn't fall to pieces… instead, he plunged deeply into the ground and jumped out unscathed.

"Hasn't landed yet…" After standing still, Dr. D first looked up at the sky and muttered, "Could it be that he activated the armor's flight device and took the opportunity to escape…"

After waiting for about five seconds, Dr. D stopped this useless action and turned his gaze to Tin Foil Hero and the others a hundred meters away. An instant later, he unceremoniously unleashed an energy wave.

Just when the three of them thought they were done for, they saw… another figure descend from the sky and appear in an instant, blocking right in the path of the energy wave attack.

The beam used by Dr. D had no energy limit; he could continue it for as long as he wanted; moreover, he had no intention of "stopping the shooting in order to see the situation of that figure clearly."

So, he maintained the output of the energy wave and approached step by step.

And that figure blocking him also stood still, steadily blocking this powerful energy attack.

"Poker Hero!" Tin Foil Hero, located behind that figure, was in the backlight, but he could still recognize the back wearing the tin foil armor, so he quickly reminded, "Don't block it head-on! His energy is…"

"…is infinite." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party in a lazy tone, "Ah… I know that."

As he spoke, the tin foil armor on Brother Jue's body disintegrated and turned into dust under the attack of the energy wave…

The armor didn't have much energy left to begin with, and being continuously exposed to such an attack would naturally lead to this result.

However, Feng Bujue himself, who had lost the protection of the armor, still stood firm and motionless (due to the system's protection, Brother Jue's clothes were spared; otherwise, he would probably be stark naked at this moment).

"Oh?" On the other side, after approaching several dozen meters, the Doctor also noticed the abnormality of the situation. At this time, he stopped releasing the energy wave and stared intently…

"This is interesting…" After looking for a few seconds, Dr. D looked at Brother Jue and said, "You're actually strong enough to ignore Thousand-Eye Hero's energy wave?" He originally only wanted to say this sentence, but for some reason, he couldn't help but add, "Also… why is your hair gone?"

"Isn't it obvious…" Feng Bujue glared with dead fish eyes and answered the Doctor's two questions in one sentence, "I'm bald, and I've become stronger."

Hearing this line, Dr. D inexplicably wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh. Instead, he looked at Black Hole Queen and asked, "Is this the existence you spoke of… who has a higher realm than me and understands more than me?"

"Yes." Black Hole Queen replied calmly, "This is… the strongest hero."
