The [Frost Killer] absorbed the surrounding flames, causing even the surface to emit icy mist. The blood plasma on the ground that hadn't been scorched turned into a thick sludge, resembling permafrost near the Arctic.
At that moment, the frigid blade of the [Katana] sliced through the cold fog, causing the already disorganized zombie squad to fall into further chaos.
"Save—" Julie, one half of the notorious criminal duo, had just begun to call out her lover's name from her gaping mouth when she suddenly realized that Bunch had already been pulverized into bone and flesh by the opponent's first strike.
If she won, maybe she could piece her lover back together from that pile of meat.
If she lost, well, there'd be nothing more to say.
At this moment, she couldn't afford to think about it. Facing the fierce strike of the [Katana], she clumsily rolled away, barely avoiding the deadly blow.
"Tch!" [Katana] Toro snorted coldly, choosing not to chase Julie. Instead, he engaged in a fierce battle with the [Copperhead], as that was exactly what she wanted.
The only flaw in her previous attack was the outer circle. Julie had managed to roll outside to survive for now, but at the cost of completely leaving her comrades' protective cover.
In the past, any of the three ranged shooters would have provided her enough support. But with Atreus cutting off the backline, no shooter had a spare moment.
This led to the inevitable result—a cat landed right in front of her.
A black figure flashed past, and Julie instinctively swiped back, only to hear a sharp metallic screech—she had missed.
Standing before her was a beautiful woman in black leather, complete with decorative black cat ears. Her limbs and torso were clearly clad in extraordinarily tough metal armor.
Julie's zombie-hardened nails couldn't even scratch the woman's leg guards.
Next came a flurry of black leg strikes, raining down on Julie.
In life, Julie might have barely been able to defend against this. As a zombie hero, while her strength had increased, her agility had been cut in half, leaving her movements on par with an average strong human.
After a barrage of attacks, Catwoman had unknowingly driven Julie to the edge of a former bandit execution pit.
With a powerful kick, Julie flew high into the air.
The next second, Catwoman flipped onto an iron frame, gracefully performing a mid-air somersault before slamming the 200-pound frame down onto Julie, pinning her tightly in the pit.
"Bye-bye!"
An incendiary thermite grenade quickly cremated Julie.
Elsewhere, the Lance sisters had been fending off [Bronze Tiger]. Both were martial artists, so their fight was up close and personal, every blow connecting with force. However, the [Bronze Tiger] was a zombie, gaining an advantage in both strength and defense.
Mid-battle, they switched opponents.
Seeing that Atreus was unharmed, Gwen switched to using her webs to entangle [Bronze Tiger].
The Lance sisters each took off to hunt down Deadshot and Hawkeye.
The fourth member of the [Suicide Squad] to fall was Captain Boomerang.
His unpredictable boomerangs were normally the perfect weapon for sneak attacks.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even scratch Atreus's defenses, making him feel utterly hopeless.
His boomerangs couldn't even cut through Kratos' leather sheath, let alone cause Atreus any pain. Atreus's dark eyes locked onto Captain Boomerang, his expression cruel and savage.
Raising his dual blades, Atreus resembled a dragon lifting its claws. With both Hawkeye and Deadshot dodging, playing a game of high-stakes evasion, Captain Boomerang found himself with nowhere to run.
That godlike man came for him like a raging storm, hurling the boomerang aside.
Captain Boomerang threw a grenade right in front of him, but terrifyingly, the opponent ignored it entirely, taking the full brunt of the shrapnel grenade and charging through the deadly smoke.
The strange blade struck Captain Boomerang's forehead with unavoidable speed.
Lightning flashed!
The decaying flesh and sturdy bones of the undead disintegrated layer by layer under the intense heat of the lightning, as a violent force surged through the blade, causing Captain Boomerang to emit an ear-splitting scream.
**Triple kill!**
If it hadn't been for the sudden interference of the Frost Killer, Atreus would have easily finished off the three shooters.
Just as he set his sights on Deadshot, a cold aura appeared instantly.
*Swoosh*—the [Frost Killer] puckered her lips, inhaling from seven or eight meters away.
Atreus could feel the heat rapidly draining from his body, and within a blink of an eye, the surroundings had turned into a freezing chamber.
The [Frost Killer] wasn't some Snow Woman; she was more like a heat-devouring machine, constantly sucking up any source of warmth around her.
But unfortunately, that was the extent of her power.
Atreus charged forward like a cannonball.
Faced with his incoming twin blades, the [Frost Killer] managed to barely block with her zombie-hardened arms.
The [Blades of Chaos], though forged from titanium alloy, were ultimately cheap knockoffs. They only managed to penetrate about three centimeters into her arm before stopping.
However, the dual blades were just for show—the real force that overturned enemies was the extraordinary power Atreus had stolen with his [Godslayer] system.
*Boom!*
The impact between Atreus and the Frost Killer was like a massive explosion, shattering the surrounding tiles and debris. The Frost Killer was blasted backward, slamming into a wall eight meters away, leaving a massive spiderweb crack before she finally came to a stop.
But that was the end of the Frost Killer's story.
A pair of hands, far too strong to belong to any human, gripped her throat, while a foot stomped down on her shoulder, transferring inhuman strength...
"Aaaahhhhh—"
Her head, jaw still gaping, along with a large segment of her spine, was ripped from the decayed body and slammed to the ground.
Next came a crushing stomp.
The [Frost Killer]... was physically annihilated!
By now, the surviving members of the zombie [Suicide Squad] finally realized how unfortunate they were to have run into an immovable force.
Once their numerical advantage disappeared, the [Suicide Squad] members fell like they were on an actual suicide mission.
Canary sisters' sonic attacks left Deadshot and Hawkeye momentarily stunned.
intense soundwaves seemed to carry a mental shock, leaving Hawkeye vulnerable in close combat. He was knocked away like a ball, rolling right up to Atreus's feet—unfortunately for him, Atreus finished him off.
Deadshot was turned into mush by the combined efforts of the Lance sisters.
Gwen seized the opportunity to team up with the [Huntress] and turned [Bronze Tiger] into human sashimi.
Ironically, the battle between [Katana] and [Copperhead] lasted the longest.
Atreus couldn't stand it any longer and intervened, finishing off the fight.
Alright!
Killing blows are key!
After all, he had the [Godslayer] system.
Once the zombie version of the [Suicide Squad] completed their mission, the underground hall fell silent again.
"That's it?" Catwoman quipped.
Atreus raised an eyebrow: "Hold your tongue! The big one's coming."
