Chapter 1035: Counterattack?

After getting acquainted with Jeremy, Lin Rui took his seat, while the other members of the League of Defenders gathered around him.

Apart from Harry, who was busy with the family business, and Jack, who was participating in the selection of the next Sorcerer Supreme in the Himalayas, all the members of the League of Defenders were present.

This was a relatively formal gathering after Mirage Knight’s disappearance.

“During my absence, I assume everyone has made some progress,” Lin Rui calmly asked as his gaze scanned Spiderman, Daredevil, and the others.

In reality, with Lin Rui’s current Psychic Power, he was capable of using the Insight Technique to analyze the true abilities of Spiderman and the others. However, since they were allies, Lin Rui wouldn’t do such a thing without their consent.

The reason Lin Rui used the Insight Technique to observe Jerry earlier was that Jerry hadn’t gained Lin Rui’s complete trust yet.

“Of course, if it weren’t for being injured and lying in bed for a few days, maybe my strength would be even more formidable now!” Spiderman was the first to speak upon hearing Lin Rui’s question.

Perhaps the Dark Elf invasion was indeed a test for various forces on Earth. They paid a certain price to overcome the crisis, and now they would receive corresponding rewards.

Those who were injured and then awakened from a coma due to the Aether Particle energy experienced a significant increase in their strength.

It was unclear whether it was due to the effect of the Aether Particle, after all, it was a miraculous item capable of influencing reality.

“My strength has also improved quite a bit, seemingly because of exposure to Aether Particle energy,” Daredevil responded in a much calmer tone compared to Spiderman Peter’s excitement.

In terms of sensory abilities, Spiderman had gained Spider-Sense due to his bodily mutation, while Daredevil had surpassed human limits in sensory perception due to his physical enhancements resulting from childhood disabilities.

Thus, during the major battle, Daredevil keenly sensed the changes within his own body when he came into contact with Aether Particle energy.

“Well, that’s highly possible. However, such occurrences can be considered quite fortunate. With just a stroke of bad luck, you might never wake up from it,” Lin Rui’s eyes flickered as he responded to Daredevil’s statement.

“Fortunately, we’ve all had good luck,” Daredevil nodded in agreement with Lin Rui’s words.

As for Deadpool, he remained the same, and no one knew if he had undergone any changes after the Dark Elf invasion. However, during the battle, Deadpool was nowhere to be found, probably lurking in some corner and enjoying himself.

Of course, given Deadpool’s abilities and personality, no one had high expectations of him accomplishing anything significant.

“Mirage Knight, now that we’ve all recovered and our powers have significantly increased, can’t we launch a counterattack against the Dark Elves? I heard that the spatial portal in the Siberian base is still stable!” Spiderman continued excitedly, disregarding the discussion about luck between Lin Rui and Daredevil.

Regardless of luck, Earth and its allied forces, including the League of Defenders, had experienced substantial growth in power after the Dark Elf invasion. So, Peter’s mind entertained other ideas.

As a member of the first reconnaissance team, he had entered the Dark Elf stronghold through the Siberian portal and experienced his first battle against an extraterrestrial civilization. Moreover, throughout that battle, Earth had been on the defensive.

Therefore, after the failure of the Dark Elf invasion, Spiderman Peter had the idea of launching a counterattack. Why were the Dark Elves able to invade Earth while Earth could only passively defend itself?

Upon hearing Peter’s words, the members of the League of Defenders, apart from Lin Rui, had a gleam of excitement in their eyes. Although Peter was the one who proposed the counterattack, the others had also contemplated it.

Of course, Deadpool was excluded from the discussion, as he seemed to be asleep on the couch.

“Counterattack? Spiderman, you’re thinking too simplistically,” Lin Rui said, shaking his head with a slight frown as he observed the expressions of those around him.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t we repel the Dark Elves?” Peter asked with confusion upon seeing Lin Rui’s expression.

After all, Peter had already fought against the Dark Elves twice, including their hideous warriors.

He believed that with his current power, it would be relatively easy to deal with the regular Dark Elf warriors. Of course, he excluded the highest-ranking warriors and figures like Malekith.

“Spiderman, do you think it’s easy for you to handle the Dark Elf warriors with your current power?” Lin Rui guessed what Peter was thinking upon hearing his words.

“Well, what’s wrong? Isn’t it?” Peter was quite confident in his abilities.

“I don’t doubt your strength. I’m just wondering, how many Dark Elf warriors do you think you can handle?” Lin Rui’s lips curled up slightly as he continued to inquire.

“Um… If the conditions are favorable, I can take on five enemies without a problem.” Peter hesitated for a moment and then responded.

“Five… Well, do you know how many warriors of that caliber the Dark Elves have?” Lin Rui nodded and asked further.

“Um… I don’t know,” Peter honestly admitted, shaking his head.

“How about the rest of you? Do you know?” Lin Rui shifted his gaze away from Peter and looked at his surrounding teammates.

Seeing Lin Rui’s gaze fall on them, the others also shook their heads. Their knowledge of the Dark Elves was limited to their recent encounters and the information Lin Rui had shared before.

In their understanding, the two battles they had fought were likely against the elite warriors of the Dark Elf race. After all, in a conflict between two civilizations, wouldn’t they deploy their most formidable warriors?

“Actually, I don’t know either. But I can be certain that there won’t be a shortage of warriors with such capabilities. The Dark Elves are different from Earth. Unlike Earth with its numerous countries, power is decentralized, and resources are scattered. The Dark Elves, on the other hand, are a highly centralized and militaristic nation.”

“So, the strength of each individual on their entire planet would surpass that of an average Earthling. In other words, their ordinary citizens are equivalent to the warriors we spend a significant amount of time and resources to train. Now that you understand this, do you still think… we can launch a counterattack?” Lin Rui calmly stated, looking at his teammates.
