Chapter 016: Collateral Damage

But here came the problem.

Who was this transmigrator?

Across the myriad worlds, there were far too many powerful women who could freeze a person into an ice sculpture with a single breath.

The first person Wang Bo thought of was... Esdeath!

The main antagonist of the world of Akame ga Kill!, a female general with a queenly aura who delighted in slaughter and torture, the woman who possessed the Teigu Demon's Extract.

Not only could she freely manipulate cold air, but she could even briefly freeze time and space.

Such a woman could definitely freeze a person into an ice sculpture with a single breath.

Apart from that, there was also Monet, the Snow-Snow Fruit user from the world of One Piece, but that woman lacked a queenly aura, so she was a pass.

Rukia Kuchiki, who used a Zanpakutō, was also one of them, but she needed her Zanpakutō to do it, so she was a pass.

Next came the yuki-onna from Japanese anime.

There were many of those.

Many yokai worlds had traces of yuki-onna, such as Tsurara from Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Yuki-Onna, Hie, Yukimi from Rosario + Vampire, Yukina from Yu Yu Hakusho, Yukime from Hell Teacher Nūbē...

But yuki-onna with a queenly aura were rare.

Of course, this also included Chinese yokai, such as the thousand-year snow demon from the Legend of White Snake and Xueqing from Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal, both female demons who could use cold air.

Western fantasy also had many women who used cold air.

The one Wang Bo remembered most vividly was Elsa, the noble and elegant princess from Frozen, who was born with powerful magic to manipulate snow and ice, capable of instantly freezing large areas.

There was also a superhero codenamed Ice from the DC universe.

Her real name was Dora Olafsdotter, a princess from a Norwegian family that controlled magic, born with the ability to create and control ice.

But both of these were positive characters; they wouldn't kill without reason and freeze people into ice sculptures.

Beings like this, who didn't care about human life and used their power at will to freeze people into ice sculptures, were basically villains.

But there were no small number of such characters either.

For a moment, Wang Bo really couldn't determine who exactly the middle-aged man was talking about—the one with a queenly aura, dressed in white, who could freeze a person into an ice sculpture with a single breath.

Just as Wang Bo was racking his brains, suddenly a roar came from afar, startling everyone under the bridge. They all exchanged glances and ran out from under the bridge to see what had happened.

Wang Bo maintained a leisurely pace, following behind the crowd.

Bang!

At that moment, a ten-meter-tall ice pillar fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and shattering instantly. Ice shards flew out in all directions like cannonballs, hitting several of the fastest-running homeless men and knocking them to the ground.

Many ice shards also smashed the homeless men's tents, killing some who were still asleep.

This scene was bloody and brutal.

Seeing this, Wang Bo quickly stepped forward to rescue the injured homeless men. Before he could finish, a man in strange clothing fell from the bridge, landing with a thud on the ground.

Wang Bo looked closely and thought, Damn, it's Spider-Man!

Fortunately, the distance from the bridge to the ground wasn't actually high—only about ten meters.

If it were an ordinary person, falling from such a height would almost certainly be fatal. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would likely be completely paralyzed or hemiplegic.

After all, the human body was far too fragile.

But Spider-Man was different; his muscle groups and impact resistance had long surpassed ordinary people. Even falling from ten meters high, he would at most feel some pain.

It was about the same as an ordinary person tripping on flat ground.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a seven- or eight-meter-tall ice pillar fell from the sky. Spider-Man instinctively rolled on the ground to avoid it.

The ice pillar struck the ground, creating a large crater. The terrible impact force shattered the ice pillar, which, like the previous one, turned into a sky full of ice shards flying in all directions.

Seeing this, Wang Bo finally understood.

Spider-Man must have been fighting someone, and the ice pillars were attacks released by the mysterious person. They missed Spider-Man but hit the wrong target.

The homeless men had clearly been caught in the crossfire of the battle between Spider-Man and the mysterious person.

Wang Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was truly an undeserved calamity.

At that moment, an ice bridge extending downward appeared in the void. A graceful and stunningly beautiful woman walked down the ice bridge, casually waving her hand, and an ice pillar appeared in the void, crashing toward Spider-Man.

Spider-Man leaped up and down, dodging left and right, awkwardly evading the rapidly approaching ice cones.

Under this woman's attacks, he couldn't even counterattack quickly; he could only keep fleeing.

But in the process of fleeing, more passersby were caught in the crossfire.

Wang Bo could no longer stand it. He casually picked up a piece of ice, aimed at the woman on the bridge, and threw it with force.

Whoosh!

A force of ten tons erupted. The moment the stone left his hand, it surpassed the speed of sound, breaking the sound barrier, and in the blink of an eye, it flew to the woman's side.

At the same time, an invisible magical force was released. The ice, which had been moving like a bullet, instantly stopped and hovered in front of the stunning woman.

She stood on the ice bridge, turned her head to look at Wang Bo below, her ice-like pupils filled with boiling murderous intent.

She pointed a single finger forward, and an ice pillar appeared, smashing fiercely toward Wang Bo.

Wang Bo dodged the rapidly approaching ice pillar with speed no less than Spider-Man's.

In his field of vision, lines of text appeared.

"Combat detected. Auxiliary mode activated. Locking onto enemy. Enabling long-range attack mode."

"Activate sonic cannon?"

Wang Bo nodded and selected yes. His arm suddenly lifted, his palm aimed at the woman. The skin rapidly receded, revealing a steel right hand. A small hole opened in the palm, and an invisible shockwave burst out from it.

The power of the sonic cannon was immense, with an attack range exceeding ten meters.

An invisible sound wave swept through the void. The air visibly twisted. The terrible shockwave instantly destroyed the ice bridge, with cracks appearing and large chunks of ice falling from the sky.

The stunning woman on the ice bridge also fell along with it.

At the same time, Spider-Man finally saw an opportunity. He swung over from a distance on a web line. "Buddy, nice work!"

He accurately located the falling woman among the shattered ice and kicked her.

Bang!

The graceful and noble woman, caught off guard, was kicked flying.

Afraid that the woman might still have the strength to resist, Spider-Man shot a web strand, binding the flying woman and suspending her in the air.
