Mysterious Support

The murderous intent had already taken hold, and Caesar did not hold back.

He dodged behind Black Bolt, swinging the sword of flame with force, aiming to decapitate him. However, Black Bolt's reaction was incredibly quick. Even with Caesar behind him, in his blind spot, Black Bolt could precisely counter every attack.

Caesar's figure appeared repeatedly beside Black Bolt, each time bringing a violent confrontation. The sword of flame clashed constantly with Black Bolt's uniquely shaped staff, the royal symbol of the Inhumans. Sparks flew, accompanied by shocking roars.

Their fight was a blur of fast movements and numerous duplications. After a while, Caesar realized his flame sword was losing power. He dodged back, looking at his weapon intently before shaking his hand. The flame sword, which could easily kill a third-order Protoss, disintegrated into countless dust particles, scattering in the void.

Caesar stepped back half a step, while Black Bolt smiled proudly. His mouth opened, and an extremely harsh noise mixed with imperceptible but violent vibrations hit Caesar directly.

"Sonic attack?" Caesar thought.

He used divine power to seal his ears. Sound waves alone couldn't harm his incredibly powerful divine body. But the imperceptible vibrations caused his sturdy divine body to surge, even making his divine power sluggish.

"No, that's not sonic at all," Caesar realized, suppressing the surge of divine power. Black Bolt's ability wasn't a sound wave but an extremely powerful vibration.

The Vibration Ability was one of the most powerful destructive forces in the universe. No matter how strong the body or hard the material, internal vibration could cause resonance, leading to complete disintegration.

Moreover, all life and objects constantly move and decompose, which can also be considered vibration. As long as there was vibration, Black Bolt could perceive it.

With unparalleled destructive power and extraordinary perception ability, Black Bolt could be called the overlord of the universe, securing a place among the top ten powerhouses in the known universe.

But all this, in front of today's Caesar, wasn't enough.

Inhumans or mutants, despite their unimaginable power in specific ways, often had significant weaknesses. For example, Magneto and Professor X had extremely fragile bodies. This was a common issue among most Inhumans and mutants.

Although Black Bolt's flesh body was strengthened through constant vibrations, washing away impurities, it still couldn't compare to some of the powerful races in the universe, such as the Titans or the Aesir Protoss.

Caesar focused intently, swiftly evading Black Bolt's shocking attacks once more. The onslaught from Black Bolt began without pause, unleashing vibrations and destruction that seemed to blanket the entire far side of the moon.

Perception and superhuman abilities lost meaning against the relentless barrage of solar flares raining down incessantly. Black Bolt dared not pause in his shock and devastation, continuously using his vibration ability to disintegrate the scorching solar energy bombarding them. However, despite his efforts, the accumulating solar energy raised temperatures on the moon's surface.

Caesar thrived in the escalating heat, while Black Bolt struggled under the intense conditions, metaphorically gasping like a fish out of water. He weakly attempted to maintain his Roar ability, facing inevitable defeat if the onslaught continued unabated.

Realizing escape was futile with Caesar wielding the Space Gem, Black Bolt resigned himself to a passive struggle for survival, sinking into despair. Attilan, through its powerful perception abilities, sensed the unfolding catastrophe, plunging both Inhumans and Skrulls into panic.

Even history's mightiest Inhuman, Black Bolt, seemed powerless against Caesar's onslaught. Attilan and the Inhumans faced an existential threat. The irony wasn't lost on them—they had just overcome genetic challenges and now faced annihilation.

Panic among the Inhumans turned to blame toward the Skrulls. Eyes once filled with fear now turned cruel as the Inhumans contemplated the consequences of harboring their former allies.

Could handing over the Skrulls spare Black Bolt and secure Attilan's safety? The Inhumans wrestled with this grim calculus as they circled the Skrulls, their hostility palpable.

Tarkes, son of the Skrull leader, bristled at this accusation, ready to confront the Inhumans and defend their honor. Talos intervened, restraining Tarkes and calming the volatile situation.

Meanwhile, the Inhumans, including Green Goblins, Lizardmen, mutants, and modified Skrulls, rallied together, their resolve bolstered by Black Bolt's sacrifice.

With Black Bolt's combat prowess lost, Attilan and its Inhumans faced a stark reality—they were outmatched by the Skrulls and their formidable foe, Caesar.

Medusa, Black Bolt's wife and queen of the Inhuman race, understood this dire situation all too well.

Immediately, the fierce light in Caesar's eyes dimmed, replaced by a slight smile. He spoke solemnly to the Skrull leader, Talos.

"Black Bolt needs support! This battle is a matter of life and death for both clans. We must do everything we can to defeat that sun god! All the fighting power of our two clans must be spared! Everything, for the continuation of our civilizations!"

"Definitely, this is the responsibility of the Skrulls," Talos replied with equal seriousness. "But the battlefield is currently filled with unimaginable high temperatures. Low-level combatants can't even approach, let alone support Lord Black Bolt."

Talos added with a wry smile, "Furthermore, I worry that even if we send all our high-level fighters, we may still be unable to defeat the god clan. We need stronger support."

But where would this strong support come from?

Both Talos and the Inhuman queen Medusa fell into deep contemplation. They knew they had a potential source of powerful support, but it could also bring total destruction to their clans.

The battle on the far side of the moon was intensifying. Black Bolt's entire body had turned red from the relentless bombardment of Caesar's flares. He constantly used powerful vibrations to destroy everything around him, but his body was starting to falter. If this continued, he might disintegrate before the temperature cooked him.

Black Bolt was getting weaker, and the Inhumans and Skrulls noticed this. Queen Medusa and Talos exchanged bitter smiles before making a crucial decision.

If they didn't save Black Bolt, their destruction could be imminent. Releasing their strongest support, even if it risked their clans' total destruction, would at least buy them more time. Moreover, if Black Bolt was rescued, he might become an even stronger ally after further training, despite his natural disadvantage against aliens.

With resolve, they decided to release their powerful support to aid Black Bolt, hoping to turn the tide of battle.
