Combined with the Punjabi-style cap adorned with pheasant feathers and the green eye mask, the whole thing looked absurdly like a cartoon character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one should mistake this mascot-like appearance for low technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, it was a highly airtight suit capable of spacewalking in vacuum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That same vacuum-grade sealing effectively blocked vampire scent detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was one major reason Henry chose this suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second reason was that this armor integrated every weapons system Henry had designed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its raw destructive power wasn't particularly high. It couldn't effectively fight top-tier targets—certain superheroes or supervillains, whether technology-based or mutation-based.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against large numbers of ordinary enemies, it was perfect for battlefield clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had originally been designed with vampires as the primary hypothetical enemy, while also requiring a combat style that concealed Henry's personal traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, that meant using the grand American tradition:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maximum firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So besides the obvious machine gun mounted on the back, its main weapons were concealed railguns, while secondary weapons were small multi-directional tracking missiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having chosen his battle suit, Henry began gearing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting it on was more like climbing into a mascot costume than assembling Iron Man armor piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reloading ammunition was the real hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary ammo bay was located in the duck butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Henry loaded large quantities of specialized anti-vampire rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering there might also be many vampire thralls—humans serving vampires as enforcers—ordinary ammunition was loaded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, driven by a certain malicious sense of humor, he draped two ammo belts across his body to feed the machine gun on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Green Arrow Duck didn't use bows or crossbows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once fully prepared, Green Arrow Duck entered the dedicated underground launch tunnel and shot into the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each outstretched arm housed three thrusters, six total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also two symmetrical hyper-acceleration systems mounted left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duck flippers on the feet contained anti-gravity devices built around trace amounts of gravitonium, providing lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the helmet, instead of retinal projection, there was a panoramic display allowing the wearer to directly observe the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through it, Green Arrow Duck noticed Kitty on the ground below, looking up and hopping excitedly as if asking to come play too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Green Arrow Duck was not bringing Kitty along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already exposed him once in front of Jack Reacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to walk the tiger in the future, he'd need another method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because artificial intelligence still wasn't fully reliable, the control system had three input methods:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voice command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brainwave control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finger-joint buttons similar to those used previously to remote-control Little Duck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both arms held level, Henry opened and closed all ten fingers twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then clenched both fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the command was received—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All six thrusters fired at full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He broke the sound barrier instantly from a standing launch, creating a thunderous sonic boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Mach 3 flight speed, Green Arrow Duck crossed from Goat Cave Valley wilderness to Los Angeles city airspace in just four minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first stop was Blade and Abraham Whistler's abandoned steel mill hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than wasting time searching for Blade directly, it was faster to examine the videotape message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tape would certainly contain clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Blade's meditation room, Green Arrow Duck found the tape halfway played.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't bother using a VCR or television.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he directly read the magnetic tape contents, converted it into digital video through the undersea basic quantum computing network, and played it in a small corner display inside the helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the footage, he quickly identified the named destination:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edgewood Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also let Green Arrow Duck confirm what this world's Deacon Frost looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who wasn't ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most notably, his face carried a hint of wickedness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance resembled the younger film version rather than the older comic version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Blade earlier, this Frost was a turned vampire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn't get along with the purebloods born as vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Los Angeles vampires, he belonged to the younger radical faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But \"young\" here was only relative to the ancient old vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he was already three to four hundred years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not some recently turned modern vampire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having confirmed the target, Green Arrow Duck naturally began gathering intelligence through networks—including government internal systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edgewood Tower was actually the name of a downtown Los Angeles high-rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ownership was mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost never rented to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was obvious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was vampire property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But entering a downtown skyscraper wasn't as simple as flying straight there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun had only recently set, and downtown was still busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Arrow Duck's appearance had almost zero camouflage value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even flying high overhead, some enthusiastic citizen would probably notice and dial 911.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So direct level flight over downtown was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he needed to ascend vertically to high altitude, fly level unseen, then descend vertically onto the destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building rooftop lacked a standard helicopter landing pad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the penthouse balcony featured an outdoor swimming pool, and the interior visible through windows was luxuriously decorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly the owner was wealthy or powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to alarm whoever might be inside, Green Arrow Duck did not land on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he slowed early and perched on a maintenance platform attached to a decorative rooftop spire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duck-form armor had surveillance functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared with Henry's own kryptonian x-ray vision, it was nowhere close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Green Arrow Duck directly used the wearer's natural abilities to search for Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there was no sign of the half-vampire anywhere in the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were, however, plenty of vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which confirmed this tower truly belonged to a vampire clan—otherwise such density would be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to the movie, the final battle took place in a temple-like structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nowhere inside this tower, including the basement, contained any such architectural level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So had Blade been moved elsewhere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or lured away to another location?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the only way to know now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was to go inside, ask someone directly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or find another way to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎉 Power Stone Goal Announcement!
