Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: The Sword of Kings

Compared to Chen Mo's unique original adamantium alloy shield, the adamantium alloy is not much weaker in terms of hardness and defense.

The only difference is that true adamantium alloy does not have the ability to absorb kinetic energy and nullify all attacks like the original adamantium alloy. It cannot withstand the attacks of Thor's hammer unscathed, as seen in the Avengers movies.

If the attack is too powerful, although the alloy itself can withstand it, the force of the attack will be transmitted through, causing the person behind the alloy to be knocked back or injured.

Despite this, adamantium alloy is still incredibly strong, capable of handling most battlefield attacks with ease. Even close-range explosions and artillery attacks cannot cause significant harm to a body enhanced by the serum and protected by adamantium alloy.

"Doctor, we've seen the defensive capabilities of adamantium alloy. It's indestructible! Shouldn't we test its offensive power next?" Chen Mo asked Dr. MacLain, who was still contemplating whether to get a tank for testing.

The doctor was taken aback.

"Offensive power? With enough strength, this shield can smash a tank!"

Chen Mo and Howard exchanged helpless glances. Dr. MacLain was too obsessed. Chen Mo wondered if they didn't stop him, would he turn all the vibranium into round shields and hang them on the laboratory walls.

"I designed the round shield with perfect aerodynamic shape, allowing it to move through the air with minimal wind resistance and ensuring its throwing path doesn't deviate."

"This adamantium alloy shield has incredible hardness and toughness, combined with its natural concentric rigidity, making it the perfect throwing weapon. When it contacts a solid object, it loses minimal angular momentum."

"With long-term training, the user can throw the shield to pierce targets and control it to return after multiple rebounds."

Listening to the doctor's endless explanations, Chen Mo felt a headache. He was now certain that the doctor intended to turn all the alloy into shields!

Imagining a group of special forces soldiers charging forward with shields, Chen Mo quickly shook his head.

He had to stop him!

Chen Mo glanced at Howard, who was rolling his eyes behind his sunglasses, and reached into his coat, slowly pulling out a weapon.

A gleaming double-handed knight's longsword appeared in Chen Mo's hand.

The still-talking doctor and Howard, who was looking up at the sky, were both attracted by the cold gleam of the sword blade. They turned their heads and immediately became dumbfounded.

"Isn't this the magical long sword you seized from the Hydra base?" Howard asked with a shocked expression. "Where did you get it from?"

Howard looked Chen Mo up and down, trying to figure out where he had taken it from.

"From my body," Chen Mo replied casually.

"Impossible! How did I not notice you carrying such a long sword all this way?" Howard didn't believe it at all.

"This is called the art of hiding a sword. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand," Chen Mo said, dismissing him, and then walked towards Dr. MacLean with the sword.

"Hiding a sword? Another magical Chinese kung fu?" Howard actually believed it. He muttered to himself, then suddenly noticed Chen Mo walking towards the doctor with the sword. Remembering the time he had angered Chen Mo and was chased with a sword, he was terrified and quickly ran to block Chen Mo.

"Don't be impulsive! The doctor is a bit nagging and has some strange ideas, but you can't just cut him down!"

Howard tried to persuade him and reached for the sword.

"Come on, give me the sword, let's talk this out!"

Just as his hand was about to touch the hilt, a strong force suddenly pushed him away, and Howard was kicked aside by Chen Mo.

Ignoring Howard, who was now sporting a panda eye and a broken pair of sunglasses, Chen Mo handed the long sword to Dr. MacLean.

From the moment Chen Mo took out the sword, the doctor had been completely captivated. He took the sword from Chen Mo, and the weight, much heavier than steel, made his arm sink. He almost dropped it and his heart skipped a beat. Having studied metals for half his life, the doctor could tell that this sword was made of an extraordinary material.

He immediately began to examine it carefully, looking at the style, patterns, guard, and balance. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, his face gradually turning red, and his hand holding the sword started to tremble slightly.

"Is this… could this be that sword?" The doctor looked at Chen Mo with anticipation.

Chen Mo nodded.

The doctor tapped and knocked on the sword, then suddenly turned and walked towards a nearby test machine gun.

Chen Mo didn't stop him. The doctor reached the machine gun, raised the long sword with both hands, and struck the barrel with force.

Like a hot knife through butter, the entire barrel was effortlessly cut off, almost without making a sound.

"Ding!" The severed barrel fell to the ground, the cut smooth and mirror-like.

"That's right! It must be the legendary Holy Sword!"

Watching Dr. MacLean, who was holding the long sword and falling into a frenzy, Howard jealously moved closer to Chen Mo.

"Why can the doctor touch it, but I can't?"

Ever since Chen Mo claimed to have seized the sword from the Hydra base and started using it, Howard had been eyeing it. Having witnessed its invincible power firsthand, he couldn't be content without getting his hands on it for a thorough study.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo never let him touch it. Howard couldn't win in a fight, so he could only watch helplessly.

He often pestered Chen Mo to borrow the sword, but when Chen Mo got annoyed and drew the sword, Howard would run away in a hurry.

Howard harbored deep resentment towards Chen Mo. Not only did he take away his cherished shield, but he also wouldn't lend the sword for research. Even though Chen Mo wouldn't actually cut him, the sharp sword's cold edge grazing the back of his neck and the severed tie sliding down his chest was an unpleasant experience. Howard's heart couldn't take it, and he couldn't afford to lose any more ties!

Although he knew Chen Mo's swordsmanship was superb, it was still terrifying!

Facing Howard's jealous and resentful questioning, Chen Mo mercilessly retorted.

"Can you make adamantium alloy like the doctor?"

"Can you identify the origin of this sword at a glance like the doctor?"

Howard was momentarily speechless.

"I… Don't forget, your shield was taken from me! What's wrong with letting me see your sword?"

"You seem to forget that the shield was also made by the doctor."

"…"

Unable to argue with Chen Mo, Howard gave up and angrily turned to the doctor.

"Doctor, do you recognize this sword?"

Dr. MacLean nodded solemnly.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this sword should be the legendary last sword of King Arthur, the Sword of Kings!"

As a medieval cold weapon enthusiast, Dr. MacLean had deeply researched those legendary weapons. He was ninety percent sure that this sword was the Sword of Kings!

Howard's eyes lit up with excitement, and he wanted to snatch the sword from the doctor. However, under Chen Mo's murderous gaze, he wisely chose to give up.

"Doctor, what do you think about making a Sword of Kings with adamantium alloy?" Chen Mo asked, gently guiding him.

The doctor's eyes lit up at the suggestion.
