Chapter 2002: Picking Up His Old Trade, King of Snipe Shots
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Amidst the constant explosions in the air, the ground troops on both sides quickly advanced.
Once the chaotic battle started, the air units on both sides were no longer able to bombard the ground with firepower. It was finally time to fight.
The Avengers maintained formation and charged forward with their new allies.
At that moment, there was a loud bang as a giant Scott broke out of the debris.
Dr. Banner jumped out of the hole he had created.
!!
Rhodes flew out in a dark blue suit that was almost three meters tall. He held Clint in one hand and the small racc.o.o.n Rocket in the other.
Clint had a full quiver on his back and a bunch of throwing weapons at his waist.
Holding a silver energy gun that was bigger than his own body with both hands, Rocket shouted excitedly, “Wahoo~ Hurry up, everyone has started fighting. I can’t wait to shoot.”
Dropping his pace stealthily without anyone noticing, Luke’s thoughts moved.
He immediately activated Elementary Concealment and turned invisible as he quickly entered the pa.s.sage Scott and the others had come out of.
Based on his understanding of Tony, the armory at the base wouldn’t just have one set of armor and one gun.
The four who had caught up to the battle were in a hurry to back up their teammates, and didn’t notice that someone had snuck into the armory.
That was understandable.
Thanos’s army all had their own weapons. n.o.body would crawl into the ruins to look for new weapons.
Luke went in empty-handed, and came out with his hands full less than a minute later.
At that moment, he was holding a huge silver energy gun in each hand, and had also stuffed a bunch of miscellaneous weapons and gear into his inventory.
He had brought more than ten of these silver energy guns and energy pistols with him.
When it came to Luke’s development, it had to be pointed out that he started with guns.
Luke had wiped out the Carlos Family and their lackeys at the very beginning with guns, providing ample experience, credit, abilities and money. It could be said that they were the perfect first kill.
When he had been fighting alongside Tony, Steve and Thor earlier, he had had to preserve some of Knight’s style, and he hadn’t had a chance to let loose.
Now that the chaotic battle had started, the leaders of the Avengers charged forward to boost morale.
Most of the reinforcements from Earth were from five years ago. n.o.body knew Luke, the Dark Knight from another world; it would be a waste to charge in with them.
Hiding and shooting in the dark was the most efficient choice. In any case, n.o.body cared how their opponent died in a chaotic battle.
Walking out of the ruins, Luke made slight adjustments to his armor. The dark gray color turned gray, and the pointed ears on the helmet retracted. The cape was put away, and the Bat logo disappeared.
The gear on Thanos’s side was fairly standard, while the allied forces of Earth had a more eclectic mix of styles.
If Luke hid these obvious signs, Earth’s allied forces wouldn’t regard him as an enemy.
He took a deep breath, then smiled faintly. “It’s showtime.”
No matter how formidable his physical skills were, his love for guns was ingrained in him.
What? When he was young, he said that he didn’t like guns? That was because he had no talent then.
A good feedback mechanism was always motivation for people to work hard.
Daddy System was Luke’s positive feedback mechanism.
As long as he worked hard, he would immediately see results.
Luke raised his guns and broke into a light and steady run.
His combat boots also switched to hover mode, which was the most suitable for shooting, so that his body was like calm water on a chaotic battlefield.
A silver gun that Rocket had to hold with both hands was no different from a pistol in Luke’s hands.
Since he wasn’t familiar with the gun’s performance, Luke chose to fire in burst mode.
For the sake of this battle, the Level 1 clone and Luke in 2012 had gone ‘offline’ and entered hibernation mode.
Exercising full control, the Level 2 clone fired four shots in a second and then eight shots in a second. It wasn’t a problem for Luke to hit eight targets in a row.
Two giant beasts in heavy armor charging toward the allied forces on Earth became live test targets.
The plasma beams from the big guns. .h.i.t their knees, necks, the eye guards and mouths.
Injured knees couldn’t hold up the enormous weight of the giant beasts. A giant beast immediately turned into a cripple, and a black hole appeared in its neck. It immediately dropped, twitching in pain.
However, the plasma beam couldn’t penetrate the eyepatch, and it could still scream and live a little longer.
The other beast was much luckier. When it opened its mouth and roared, Luke found an angle to shoot a plasma beam from below.
White smoke immediately rose from under its helmet. Clearly, its brain had been cooked.
After obtaining these test results, Luke immediately adjusted his plan and fired at the first beast’s neck.
A beast that had been hit by one blast might still be able to struggle, but after a second blast, most of its neck would be roasted.
Even though their brains weren’t dead yet, their bodies couldn’t struggle anymore.
…
At that moment, the superheroes were all on the front line, and the strongest of them clashed with the four generals and heavy firepower on Thanos’s side.
Troops like the four-armed monsters, the giant beasts and the alien foot soldiers who entered the battlefield in bulk could be taken care of by the soldiers at the back.
The soldiers’ main role was largely to provide the front with firepower support. It was impossible for all of them to go forward and deal with the soldiers who broke through the front line.
As soon as Luke started fighting dirty, the pressure on the allied soldiers in the rear gradually relaxed.
Thanks to a certain person’s marksmans.h.i.+p, plus Bullseye’s Elementary Precision and two energy guns with an effective range of 1,500 meters, the soldiers from Thanos’s army who jumped around the most at the back were the quickest to die.
The necks of the giant beasts were charred black as they fell one after another, while the foot soldiers’ lenses were directly broken.
The four-armed monsters? Luke couldn’t be bothered to waste energy on these cannon fodder.
He had taken a lot of guns from the Avengers’ armory, but there were at least 10,000 to 20,000 four-armed monsters on the battlefield, and they were still pouring out of the landing s.h.i.+ps.
Before the allied forces had arrived, Luke could only take action himself.
Now that there were so many allied forces, he would be an idiot to open fire on the cannon fodder.
Firing off four to six sniper shots a second on average was very costly. He had to choose a high-value target.
With every two shots he took, he had to save three to five Earth soldiers.
Unless he obtained 30 to 50 experience and credit points, it wasn’t worth the effort it took him to pull the trigger.
Daddy System was still silent, but at Luke’s request, it very considerately gave Luke experience and credit points for each kill instead of calculating them together later.
It was basically a running tally of numbers, and Luke didn’t pay much attention to it.
Nevertheless, seeing the green experience and credit points scroll past felt great, and made him even more trigger-happy.
Just like that, Luke moved back and forth at the back of the battlefield like a ghost, never stopping.
Basically none of Thanos’s soldiers broke through into the area he covered.
