#231 - Purpose

"Did you get a clear look at that person?" Mr. Immortal asked.

"It was a black woman," Eileen said, recalling the event.

Thankfully, she noticed it. Yang Le breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't, he would have been devastated.

"Forget about that person for now," Night Thrasher interrupted. "For some reason, those bacteria aren't sticking to the mummy."

"I think it has something to do with the purple light on him," Namorita said, pointing at Yang Le.

Everyone looked and saw that it was true. A faint purple glow had appeared around Yang Le, enveloping him perfectly, like a layer of light purple coating.

This light purple coating was, of course, Celestial Energy. Celestial Energy can create vacuum spaces, so these bacteria naturally couldn't penetrate the Celestial Energy coating. The mummy didn't need to breathe either, so Yang Le used Celestial Energy to create a protective suit, keeping the bacteria out.

The mummy's race, the Sekhmet, can also use Celestial Energy, but they need to go through systematic learning. They can't use it from birth like the Anunnaki. So, Yang Le was using the power of the Dimensional Demon's avatar.

However, while Yang Le didn't need to breathe, that didn't mean the person inside him didn't. After Yang Le blocked the bacteria, he dispersed the Celestial Energy coating. The Bacterian, seeing the purple energy dissipate, was puzzled but immediately used its ability to control the bacteria to crawl onto Yang Le.

Yang Le wasn't in a hurry. He undid the bandages on his abdomen again, allowing everyone to see the person inside him clearly.

Just as Eileen had said, dark skin, curly hair, a typical black woman. But it was this seemingly ordinary black woman who shocked Mr. Immortal.

Because he knew this person. Not only did he know her, but her other identity was well-known to everyone. That was…

"Captain America!" Mr. Immortal exclaimed. He was, after all, a man who had lived for hundreds of years and knew some inside information that ordinary people didn't, such as the true identity of Captain America.

"What?" The rest of the New Warriors were shocked. The Bacterian immediately stopped the bacteria from spreading. Captain America, a legend, was here, in this state? Not only were they surprised, but because of the live broadcast, the internet was in an uproar.

This was one of Yang Le's goals. Peter and the others had obtained all the information about the Super Soldier Serum, so this 'N word' was useless. He couldn't keep her locked up forever, so Yang Le suggested this scene.

He would appear before everyone with Captain America, acting like a kidnapper, taking the blame for kidnapping Captain America onto himself. Then, through combat, he would destroy all traces of serum research in the laboratory, completely removing himself from the situation.

As for Captain America's memories, of course, they would be wiped. With Pooba's chemical abilities, creating a forgetting potion was a piece of cake.

Now, all he needed to do was beat these people up and wait for Gwen and the others to come out and drive him away.

This would not only solve the problem of Captain America and the Super Serum, give Robbie and the others a lesson, but also improve Peter's reputation. It was a win-win-win situation.

While Yang Le was thinking, he spat Captain America out of his body. Although she could be a hostage, she was more of a burden to Yang Le. With her, Yang Le would be constrained.

As the unconscious Captain America fell to the ground with a thud, a faint purple Celestial Energy once again covered Yang Le.

"Tsk!" The Bacterian clicked his tongue. "Rely on you guys, fellas."

There was nothing he could do. As long as Yang Le didn't remove the Celestial Energy isolation suit, he couldn't do anything to Yang Le.

"Leave it to me!" Robbie bumped his fist against his chest. The appearance of Captain America only shocked him for a moment. After the shock disappeared, it was replaced by immense joy. Defeating the bad guy and saving Captain America, he might become the sixth giant.

"Don't act alone again, Robbie," Mr. Immortal said, frowning. "We are a team, we need teamwork."

'Oh, damn it!' Robbie couldn't help but deflate. How would others notice his fastball if they were always doing teamwork? He wanted individual heroism!

But there was nothing he could do. Mr. Immortal was the leader, and Robbie had to agree even if he didn't want to. But just as he was about to reply, Yang Le's attack arrived.

A bandage emitting a faint purple light, moving at an extremely fast speed, extended towards Mr. Immortal. No one reacted in time. The bandage, like a sharp blade, pierced straight into Mr. Immortal's abdomen.

Before blood could even gush out, the bandage inserted into Mr. Immortal's body churned wildly inside, like a meat grinder, turning Mr. Immortal's internal organs into a mush.

"Thud!"

Mr. Immortal fell to the ground, blood pouring out from the wound in his abdomen, forming a pool of blood in the blink of an eye. He was obviously dead as dead could be. But Yang Le knew that he would revive soon. The title of Mr. Immortal wasn't for nothing.

The Apostle of Death once said that Mr. Immortal could live until the end of the universe. But his ability also had drawbacks. Mr. Immortal could only recover from all injuries by dying and then reviving. If he was only injured and didn't die, then his recovery speed would be the same as an ordinary person.

In short, it was like a game character respawning. All negative statuses disappeared after revival. If he didn't die, he could only obediently take medicine, and he had to endure the pain as well.

And Yang Le was precisely because of this that he directly killed Mr. Immortal, saving the other party from further suffering.

'I'm really a great philanthropist,' Yang Le wiped away tears of emotion in his heart.

Faced with the death of Mr. Immortal, Robbie was stunned for a second, then reacted. Even though he had seen Mr. Immortal die so many times, he still couldn't get used to it. He was always afraid that the other party would never wake up again.

But in that one second, Yang Le had already manipulated the bandages to attack him. In the blink of an eye, the bandages had already arrived in front of him, sending him flying.

Robbie rolled and crashed to the side, destroying a lot of equipment again. Fortunately, he had superpowers, otherwise, Robbie would have followed in Mr. Immortal's footsteps with just this one blow.

By the time these two were knocked to the ground, the remaining four members of the New Warriors reacted. They were shocked because Yang Le's attack speed was more than one level faster than before. If Yang Le had used this speed to attack them from the beginning, they would have all been wiped out.

This was, of course, because Yang Le's plan had entered the second step, which was to beat everyone up. Naturally, he didn't need to hold back. What Yang Le needed to do now was to teach them a lesson.

"Get out of the way!" Mr. Immortal, who had been dead for a while, suddenly climbed up.

"Run! This is an enemy we can't handle!"
