"Damn it!"
Hellish Blizzard's pretty face turned cold. Her hands, brimming with powerful energy fluctuations, suddenly shot up. A pale blue Psychokinesis force field barrier unfolded before her, blocking the blizzard rushing toward her.
The icy wind continued to blow, and a touch of freezing power quietly assailed her through the Psychokinesis barrier's obstruction. Even Blizzard—very confident in her own strength—felt a bone-chilling coldness and couldn't help but shiver.
"You damned heroes—I'll finish you off now!"
Frost Cabbage, raging in the blizzard, viciously raised both fists about to smash down—when a petite figure once again stepped forward.
The alloy staff, connected by chains, whistled as it swung out. Its bright silver trajectory like a silver dragon emerging from the sea. Three-Section Staff Lily!
While maintaining her Psychokinesis barrier, Blizzard saw the fourteen-year-old heroine rush fearlessly toward the Monster—and her gaze sharpened.
*CLANG— *
The swinging three-section staff, using its momentum and inertia, directly withstood the Monster's terrifying downward hammer blow. What seemed like an evenly matched scene was actually the young heroine's hands turning purple from the extreme cold transmitted through the frosted weapon.
Seeing that the young heroine was about to be defeated, sweat beaded on Blizzard's forehead. She fully squeezed out her Psychokinesis output, then suddenly waved her left hand, pointing it in Three-Section Staff Lily's direction.
Pale blue Psychokinesis light enveloped the young girl's entire body. The brutal strike from the grinning Frost Cabbage arrived in an instant.
"Hehehe—die!"
*CLANG, CLANG, CLANG—!! *
Though she received Blizzard's Psychokinesis boost at the critical moment, the Monster's incredibly ferocious continuous smashing still sent the exhausted young girl flying.
"Lily! Are you alright?"
No sooner said than done—a dark shadow arrived the instant Lily was about to land, steadily catching her nearly frozen body.
The young girl, on the verge of fainting, suddenly felt her body filled and enveloped by a surge of warm heat. She immediately regained consciousness.
"Hey—are you okay?"
"Eh…"
A magnetic voice, full of masculine energy, came from above. Lily opened her eyes. What met her gaze was a handsome face that made her heart race—deep eyes that seemed to hold a reassuring power.
The young girl's cheeks instantly flushed crimson. Just as she was about to offer thanks, her gaze passed over the man's shoulder and caught Blizzard struggling in the distance. Completely disregarding her own injuries, the white lily hair ornament seemed to bloom even more intensely. She cried out anxiously:
"Bl—Blizzard-sama!!"
Jack blinked, observing the fanaticism and worry in the young girl's eyes—surpassing mere admiration. Then he glanced at the blooming lily in her hair. He immediately understood this girl's nature.
The situation is looking good.
On the other side, Frost Cabbage—having repelled Lily—turned its target toward the main combatant in the sky. It let out a sinister laugh and suddenly lowered its head.
"Hehehe… Die, human! Taste my freshest 'Cabbage Heart Cannon'!"
Before it finished speaking, the cabbage heart atop its head suddenly glowed with dazzling cold light. Highly condensed ice beads—like cannonballs leaving a barrel—shot straight toward Blizzard in the sky with a sharp whistling sound.
The high-speed ice bead attack was comparable to Gatling gun fire—fast and ruthless—and the angles were extremely tricky.
*BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG—!! *
The ice beads, carrying immense kinetic energy, violently struck the pale blue Psychokinesis barrier, producing a series of dull thuds. Under continuous bombardment, the barrier shook violently—clearly unable to hold on much longer.
"Damn it…!"
Blizzard gritted her silver teeth. Cold sweat seeped from her forehead as she fully unleashed her Psychokinesis, trying to stabilize the barrier on the verge of collapse.
Several thousand meters above, a petite figure floated quietly.
She wore a peculiar black long dress with slits—the hem gently fluttering in the high-altitude air currents, revealing large expanses of fair, delicate skin. Her fluffy emerald green curly hair moved without wind, making her exquisite, small face appear even more youthful, as if she were only a teenager.
But her green eyes coldly watched everything below, bearing a majesty and indifference inconsistent with her age. Her brows slightly furrowed.
It was none other than S-Class Hero Rank 2—Terrible Tornado.
Watching her sister Blizzard's disheveled appearance below, Tatsumaki let out a soft snort.
"My foolish sister—I told you long ago, these useless people will only be a burden to you."
Green Psychokinesis light flickered at her fingertips. She was already preparing to personally deal with the unsightly large cabbage below.
Just as Tatsumaki was about to make her move—she suddenly froze.
She saw a figure in the chaotic battlefield below, walking against the blizzard, seemingly strolling leisurely toward the arrogant Frost Cabbage.
Three-Section Staff Lily, having left Jack's warm embrace, subconsciously wanted to warn him. But she found that though the tall man's steps were not fast, he instantly covered dozens of meters—arriving beside the Monster in a single breath.
Frost Cabbage, still lowering its head and spraying, was smugly delivering its villainous declaration.
"Tremble, humans! In the face of my absolute zero, your resistance is meaningless… Huh?"
It paused.
"Wait! When—who are you?!"
The Frost Cabbage stared warily at Jack with both eyes. From this suddenly appearing man, it felt an indescribable sense of danger.
Blizzard, still struggling to maintain her Psychokinesis barrier, was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't detected this person's presence at all. To maintain such composure on such a chaotic battlefield—this mysterious man was clearly no ordinary person.
"Just a passing Kamen Rider. Remember that."
"…Huh?"
The moment confusion appeared on the Monster's face, Jack took a step forward. Within his seemingly ordinary human body, terrifying numerical power erupted.
"Clock… Up!"
In the almost stagnant time and space, the blizzard flying everywhere and the ice beads firing like machine gun bullets slowed to a standstill. The only thing seemingly unaffected was the fist of a certain scumbag main body—who had copied a doppelganger's show-off idea—swinging at super high speed. The lightning-sparking fist flashed across the Monster's frozen body like lightning, transforming into a fleeting silver stream of light.
"Clock Over!"
*BANG—! *
It wasn't until Jack's figure reappeared behind the Monster that the ear-splitting roar caused by his punch tearing through the air resonated above the street.
Frost Cabbage didn't even have time to let out a complete scream. Its entire body was crushed as if by an invisible giant force, instantly exploding into a sky full of ice crystal fragments. The surrounding bone-chilling coldness dissipated completely.
