However, the golden, shimmering guy didn't have such thoughts. He spread his arms towards the white ground, striking a pose like Christ descending, and loudly proclaimed, "I am the true'super' hero! People, worship me! Cheer for me!"
Clearly, this world was a Marvel Comics world, not some bizarre one. The masses, already turned into a bloody pulp on the ground, certainly wouldn't worship or cheer for him.
Occasionally, there were some less severely injured individuals, such as the Punisher, who had already found cover the moment this guy unleashed his energy beams, so he only sustained minor injuries.
For instance, Spider-Man withstood the terrifying storm and used his webs to save Daredevil and Elektra from the Defenders. The remaining members of the Defenders, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, also managed to survive due to their chi protection or strong inherent defenses.
Kingpin remained completely unharmed thanks to his overwhelming aura, and even had the presence of mind to save his loyal subordinate, Bullseye. But the rest of his henchmen were all wiped out.
In short, after such an explosion, besides a few lucky ones, most of the remaining survivors were super-heroes. Even among those super-heroes, an unknown number of weaker individuals had died.
"Where did this madman come from!?" Tony Stark clicked his tongue. "The key is that this madman is also so powerful!"
After listening for a while, the golden figure in the sky heard no cheers. A look of anger gradually appeared on his face as his gaze fell upon the super-heroes still alive below.
"Why? Why aren't you cheering? I tried so hard, why isn't anyone praising me? I've reformed, you should praise me!!!"
So, everyone then saw the unfamiliar man in the sky stomping his feet, scratching his head, and floating there in a daze, as if he had some kind of illness.
"Where did this lunatic come from? And he demands cheers? You've already blown up half of New York!"
No sooner had Human Torch finished speaking than he saw the golden figure in the sky looking at him.
Although still far away, Human Torch was a superhuman, so he could clearly see the golden figure's gaze. He only felt that the figure's eyes were filled with madness and frenzy.
"You're lying! I'm clearly their savior! It must be you super-heroes who are jealous of me?!"
As he spoke, the man extended a hand, and terrifying golden energy surged towards the group.
With a loud boom, the golden energy was instantly deflected, and the golden figure was punched into the sky. Like a reverse meteor, it frictionally disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Is this guy Sentry? He's completely insane." Shin pouted, shaking the fist that had just sent Sentry flying.
"You guys go deal with the last mothership at the Statue of Liberty! I'll handle this guy."
After saying that, Shin flew into the sky and collided with the golden pillar of light falling from above. After the two supermen briefly confronted each other, the golden pillar of light that had just fallen reversed its course, clearly having been knocked away again.
Sentry is also a very famous character in Marvel, arguably the most famous of Marvel's Superman imitators.
Although Hyperion is arguably the most Superman-like in terms of set up, Sentry is definitely the most famous. In terms of setting and design, Sentry, who possesses the power of a million exploding suns, is also the strongest of the Marvel Supermen.
However, in terms of character, the Marvel Supermen are far inferior. And among them, Sentry is the worst. This guy is not only a drug addict but also suffers from schizophrenia. He's basically sane less often than he's insane, and he possesses a Void personality that wants to destroy the entire world.
To be honest, this guy is less the Earth's strongest hero and more the Earth's biggest bomb, even more threatening than the Hulk.
It's just that the Hulk has various flaws, which is why he was exiled. Sentry, however, can travel directly in space, so no one can exile him even if they wanted to.
Shin didn't want to come back one day to find that this guy had blown up the Earth. Just now, if he hadn't intervened, among the group, only Scarlet Witch would probably have been fine. Red Hulk and Thing might have survived, but everyone else would have died there.
Seeing the current situation, Scarlet Witch tilted her head slightly, listened to Shin's telepathic message, and nodded. Then she spoke to the crowd, "Don't resist, I'll transfer you to another mothership."
The other mothership was currently floating above the sea, directly facing the Statue of Liberty. Because of the explosion of the previous mothership, the entire army had almost completely collapsed, allowing the Chitauri on the other side to easily invade the entire city of New York.
However, everyone now knew that, apart from the Chitauri inside the mothership, those outside were merely puppets they controlled. So, the group wasn't prepared to get entangled with these puppets outside. They intended to go straight for the jugular, striving to minimize losses.
This wasn't a difficult task for the group, especially with Scarlet Witch. Even Scarlet Witch alone could tear through the entire mothership. Now, with everyone working together, their speed would only be faster.
Meanwhile, in space, Shin and Sentry, whom he had directly knocked out of the atmosphere, truly began to fight.
The damage caused by fighting on Earth was too great, but there were no such concerns in space. Shin clenched his fist and, for the first time, faced a powerful opponent whose strength was comparable to his own, engaging in a thrilling battle.
Sentry was practically mindless. After taking a few heavy punches from Shin and being knocked into space, he thought Shin was jealous of his "popularity," claiming he was the most perfect superhero and that no one could defeat him. Then, without Shin even needing to provoke him, he charged forward.
Naturally, Sentry used to be a drug addict and was now mentally ill. His fighting skills, it could be said, were terrible. Shin didn't even need to use Observation Haki or anything like that. Even his taijutsu from when he graduated from the ninja academy at age ten was countless times stronger than Sentry's.
Actually, terrible fighting skills weren't a problem. Superman in the DC world didn't have particularly high fighting skills either, but he could still overwhelm opponents with brute force, but that was when he was fighting weaker opponents.
Now, Sentry had encountered Shin, a superman with comparable raw strength, and his lack of skill was exposed.
There was no sound transmission in space, and there were no shockwaves from their battle. One could only see two golden pillars of light constantly entwined. The pillar representing Shin was noticeably far more active than the one representing Sentry, sending Sentry flying left and right with explosive force, leaving him utterly unable to retaliate.
