The familiar white light enveloped the magic circle.
However, just as Luca was still anticipating what the synthesized Mitsuki would look like, a large cloud of earthy yellow smoke suddenly shot out from the white light, rushing towards Luca.
"What the hell is that?! Hive?!"
Luca was startled, but seeing the large mass of parasites almost reaching his face,
He didn't have time to think further.
His posture, originally bent down with both hands pressed to the ground, abruptly changed.
He leaned back, lightly pushing off the ground with his feet to create distance.
At the same time, he instinctively raised his right arm and powerfully threw a punch forward.
"Crack~"
A slight sound.
The dark blue mechanical right arm suddenly exploded during the punch.
Four metal casings instantly sprang open, and pulsating blue electric arcs rapidly converged on the fist peak along the metal casings.
The next moment,
The highly compressed electric arcs on the fist peak exploded with a roar.
With a loud "boom," a terrifying electromagnetic Impact wave, accompanied by "crackling" lightning, instantly enveloped the area several meters in front.
The blast of air instantly blew away the parasites rushing towards him, and more than half of them were incinerated by the electric arcs before they could even be flung away.
A scream, mixed with anger and wailing, emanated from the swarm of insects.
The attack form of Luca's new mechanical arm, [Overture], was ultimately just an electromagnetic Impact. Although its attack power and knock-back effect were quite impressive, it couldn't completely annihilate all the parasites in one blow like the dense 'ion decomposition spheres'.
Fortunately, this thing had no cooldown time.
Seeing the remaining parasites still trying to rush him, Luca decisively retracted his fist, preparing to deliver another punch to these insects.
However, before Luca could punch a second time,
Behind the large patch of earthy yellow parasites, in the center of the synthesis magic circle, a somewhat cold and hoarse male voice rang out.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
A huge, blazing red fire dragon suddenly shot out from behind, and the terrifying heat instantly devoured all these parasites.
This time, they didn't even have time to scream; all the parasites in front of him were carbonized and incinerated.
However, it should be noted that Luca was standing face to face with the synthesis magic circle.
After the surging fire dragon swept through those parasites, it still continued its momentum, rushing towards Luca.
"Oh crap, no!"
Luca exclaimed in surprise, quickly retreating.
However, without activating the [Leg Strength Enhancement Shoes], how fast could Luca retreat?
In an instant, the fire dragon had already reached Luca.
However, just as Luca felt the heat rushing towards him, the surging fire dragon suddenly paused, then flexibly twisted its body, brushing past Luca's forehead and shooting diagonally upwards.
It wasn't until the fire dragon completely soared into the sky that it finally exploded with a bang, dissipating into scattered red sparks in mid-air.
But at this moment, Luca's attention was no longer on the fire dragon soaring into the sky.
After the fire dragon swept past him, the young man in samurai armor, with one hand making a hand seal, in the center of the magic circle, was completely revealed before Luca.
It wasn't until the fire dragon completely dissipated that the armored youth retracted his hands, took off his mask, and knelt on one knee respectfully.
"The situation was urgent just now, and I was overly presumptuous. Please punish My Lord!"
Looking at the handsome young man with light blue messy hair, pale skin, and a scar on his cheek, Luca paused slightly before speaking again.
"Mitsuki?"
"Yes, My Lord Luca, the artificial human Mitsuki reports to you!"
Inside the HYDRA Base office.
After a brief exchange, Luca roughly understood Mitsuki's origin.
He was indeed an artificial human created by Orochimaru, combining many excellent genes, as stated in the Golden Finger's introduction.
However, the timeline was set decades after the Fourth Great Ninja War.
This explained why Luca, who hadn't watched Boruto in his previous life, had no idea of his existence.
As an outstanding creation of Orochimaru, the top scientist in the ninja World, Mitsuki was inherently exceptionally talented, effortlessly performing various ninjutsu and taijutsu.
According to Mitsuki himself, he already possessed combat power equivalent to a Shadow-level powerhouse.
And Luca's tests showed that Mitsuki could even easily defeat the four haro intelligent mecha.
During their combat, only at the very beginning did Mitsuki struggle to adapt to the super high hardness of the four haro's 'e-carbon' armor,
secretly falling behind.
Once familiar, various elaborate ninjutsu easily overpowered the four haro.
His samurai sword, enhanced by Wind Release ninjutsu, could even cut deep marks into the four haro's body, making Luca quite distressed.
However, it should be known that a ninja like Mitsuki is actually more adept at dealing with living organisms.
Against intelligent machines like mechas, many genjutsu techniques were completely useless.
Coupled with the Haro mecha's own 'e-carbon' providing super high defense, even with this elemental counter, Mitsuki could still easily defeat his opponent, which speaks volumes about his own strength.
Luca's assessment was:
"Hmm, the level of dismantling a Gundam with bare hands~!"
However, aside from combat power, the "research assistant" aspect mentioned in the Golden Finger's introduction left Luca a little disappointed.
It's not that Mitsuki's scientific research ability was lacking; in fact, under Orochimaru's careful guidance, Mitsuki possessed the ability to independently develop and research, reaching the level of a top scientist in the Naruto World.
Unfortunately, this was in the Naruto World.
Not to mention that various researches in the Naruto World are basically built upon the special energy of chakra, even the humans in the Naruto World themselves,
are vastly different from people in ordinary Worlds.
It's not just the mysterious things like Bloodline Limits; at the most basic level, people in the Naruto World have 130 trillion cells, while people in ordinary Worlds only have about 40 trillion. This alone makes a considerable amount of basic theoretical knowledge non-transferable.
Fortunately, Mitsuki did not lack talent and comprehension, and had extensive practical experience.
After catching up on the basic biological knowledge of this World, it shouldn't be too difficult to tinker with and create some knock-off ninja army.
In short, Luca was quite satisfied with this new subordinate, Mitsuki.
After the Yuri Base Vehicle is synthesized, it is estimated that with the help of Yuri's tech tree, Mitsuki should also be able to play a significant role beyond combat.
In addition, some abilities that were not very conspicuous in the Naruto World are also a considerable help to Luca at the moment.
Looking at Mitsuki, who had transformed into 'Strucker' using the Transformation Jutsu, and on the other side, his clone, which had transformed into 'Hive'.
Luca nodded in satisfaction as he put the [Transformation Watch] back on his wrist.
"Good. The task of integrating HYDRA will be entrusted to you. I will have Spot help you with the transfer later."
"Discard any exposed HYDRA assets you can. Try to conceal the rest. We're not in a hurry; with such a large HYDRA, we'll eventually be left with some useful power."
"Oh, and America is in chaos right now. If you get the chance, bring back more benefits~"
