Fear of Fire

From the outside of the armor, the changes in Cartel were very subtle, and most of the Aesir warriors didn't notice them. Even if they did, they didn't know what was happening.

At this moment, an Aesir warrior held a long sword and charged straight for Cartel, with a sharp blade aimed at him.

Cartel looked unusually calm. He turned slightly to the side and easily avoided the sword's edge, showing an amazing reaction speed.

At the same time, he pointed his right hand like a knife, slashing like lightning, and hit the Aesir warrior's wrist with precision.

"Ah!" The Aesir warrior cried out in pain, and the long sword flew out of his hand uncontrollably.

Cartel kept moving, turning around and striking his temple with his elbow, knocking him out.

Then, he took out a silver spear engraved with golden lines from his waist, pointed it at the fallen warrior, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" A purple light shot out from the muzzle, piercing the warrior's neck, leaving a burnt wound.

Seeing Cartel kill an Aesir warrior in two or three moves, the Aesir forces were shocked, while the Kree in the base were pleasantly surprised.

"Very good, that's it!" Commander Kree said excitedly, "Cartel, you are not fighting alone; behind you is the glorious Kree Empire!"

"Let Asgard taste the power of the symbiote!"

Seeing this, Forseti hurriedly said, "I'll deal with this man! Hermond, the rest of the airship is handed over to you!"

After he said that, flames spewed from his feet, and with a slight turn in the air, he got rid of the surrounding airships and galloped towards Cartel.

Cartel brought down another Aesir warrior. The peculiarly shaped silver gun in his hand was about to pull the trigger again when Forseti swung his sword at the right moment, and the Sword of Judgment spurted out.

"Boom!"

The Sword of Judgment hit Cartel, but it failed to penetrate the armor. It only left a scar that was neither deep nor shallow. The defense of the armor was quite remarkable.

Cartel staggered a few steps and regained his footing. He turned his head to look at Forseti, and the muzzle of the silver spear also turned its direction.

Forseti held his left hand out, and the shield of holy light instantly condensed and blocked in front of him.

"Boom!"

The beam of light emitted by the silver gun suddenly bombarded the shield of light, interweaving golden and purple rays, and cracks appeared on the shield.

The power of this silver gun was truly formidable, stronger than the laser cannon of the airship and the defensive gun of the Kree base. Forseti wondered what kind of black technology it was.

Forseti quickly flew to Cartel, holding the Sword of Rivendell high and slashing down.

Sword of Justice!

Cartel's armor had two shields, located on the wrists of his left and right hands. He moved quickly, raising his left hand to block the Sword of Justice.

"Clang!"

Immediately, the radiance of the Holy Light swayed, and the stunning force of the Sword of Justice passed through the battle armor, causing Cartel to shake and step back a few steps.

At this point, Forseti observed closely and through the transparent armor near Cartel's eyes, he finally noticed the abnormality of its shape.

This person's skin turned out to be black, as black as ink.

Generally speaking, the skin of Kree people is blue—of course, there are exceptions. After all, there are several kinds of skin colors of humans on Earth, and the Kree, as an interstellar empire, would have some diversity.

However, this person's skin was black and had a mucus-like texture, creeping faintly, and looking very strange.

No wonder this guy is so powerful. It seems he is not a normal Kree at all. He must be a transformed being or something... Forseti thought to himself.

Although the Sword of Justice hit, the stunning effect was not obvious to Cartel.

When Cartel reversed at high speed, he shook his head and returned to normal. Then he pulled the trigger, and blazing beams of light were launched from the silver gun.

Under the bombardment of the silver gun, the shield of holy light soon couldn't hold, cracks covered it, and it flashed rapidly.

Forseti inserted the Sword of Rivendell into the ground.

Sword of Justice!

The Sword of Justice pierced out of the moon soil at the foot of Cartel, and the holy light suddenly flashed under its feet.

However, almost at the same time the Sword of Justice was stabbed, Cartel reacted. Flames surged from the armor on his legs, dodging the Sword of Justice while flying into the sky like Iron Man.

Timely dodging, coupled with the sturdy armor covering his whole body, made this Sword of Justice ineffective.

Forseti frowned, then flew into the air, condensing a new shield of holy light.

Cartel stared at Forseti, and the shield in his left hand turned into two blades, shaped like a sharp battle axe, with a cold light. He then rushed up.

Forseti looked determined as he approached him with a sword and started a confrontation.

The two were like fighting falcons, circling and wrestling in the sky.

Cartel was not only powerful, but also had an amazing reaction speed, surpassing most of the Aesir and even overpowering Forseti. Moreover, the armor on his body was very strong, and a sword couldn't break it.

After only a moment of fighting, Forseti felt the difficulty.

Blind light!

Blind light had no effect on Cartel either, whether it was because of the armor or his abilities.

"Boom!" The sharp blade in Cartel's left hand slashed at the cracked Holy Light shield, and the shield collapsed again.

Forseti quickly added a king's blessing to himself, covered with holy light armor, and slashed backhand.

Sword of Justice!

With the blessing of the king's blessing, the power of the Sword of Justice greatly increased, accurately slashing a damaged position on Cartel's armor.

"Crack!"

Cartel's armor was immediately penetrated, opening a hole to reveal the black mucus squirming inside.

This black slime looked soft, but its texture was very strong. After the Sword of Rivendell broke through the armor, the remaining strength was not enough to penetrate it.

"Ah!"

Seeing the faintly wriggling black mucus, Forseti was startled, as if he had remembered something.

Symbiote.

Previously, Cartel was covered in armor, with only a little bit of his eyes exposed. Forseti hadn't realized anything yet. Now that he had cut open the armor and saw the black mucus inside, he suddenly realized that this thing seemed to be a symbiote!

The famous Venom was a member of the symbiote.

Venom's abilities were formidable, especially when combined with a host who was very strong. The combat power would skyrocket.

But the symbiote had two fatal weaknesses: fear of sound waves and fear of fire.

Afraid of fire...

Forseti dodged the next blow, then hovered in the air, looking at Cartel for a while.

Since he was afraid of fire, it was easy to deal with. Although the opponent's armor was fire-resistant, Forseti had something to enhance firepower.

He immediately sheathed his sword, then stretched his hand into the Sanctuary space, and took out a pair of golden gloves—flame gloves he had obtained during the Asgard Civil War.
