**Chapter 484: The Shattered Subway**
Xia Shang shook his head. He even suspected that Mark couldn't beat a serious Allen the Alien. If he wanted to rely on Mark to deal with Omni-Man, he could only hope for a massive surge of Omni-Man's fatherly love, causing him to go easy during the fight.
Honestly, up to this point, even he didn't know Omni-Man's upper limit.
But judging from Omni-Man's ability description and his performance in the Alien World, destroying the Planet beneath his feet would be no difficulty for Omni-Man.
Therefore, when analyzing Omni-Man, he held no hope for acquiring the Viltrumite physiology.
His current goal was to acquire Eve's atomic manipulation and Allen the Alien's infinite evolution, then return home.
"Of course, I wouldn't place my hope on Mark, especially before confirming his stance." Cecil Stedman took a shallow sip of the coffee in his hand.
After getting the information he wanted, Xia Shang placed the document aside and focused his attention on the projected holographic screen.
At this moment, the rapidly flying Allen the Alien arrived above a City. The Staff's voice was coming through the earpiece he wore.
"Omni-Man is located inside the Subway Station southwest of you. Please be careful not to engage Omni-Man in combat there. The broadcast is evacuating the surrounding population. If you need to fight, the Suburbs seven kilometers away would be a good choice."
Meanwhile, inside the Subway Station, an emergency notification was constantly looping on the broadcast.
The crowd inside surged outwards like a swarm, thinking it was some kind of terrorist attack. Of course, if combat truly broke out inside the Subway Station, the casualties would likely be much higher than a terrorist attack.
"Mark."
Ignoring the broadcast sound in his ears, Omni-Man stood tall and straight beside Mark, his voice low and powerful.
"You possess unimaginable strength. This strength is brought to you by your talent, something contained within your bloodline inheritance. Clearly, you haven't truly understood its power, nor have you fully controlled it. Now, I will make you understand that the gap between Viltrumites and humans is like the ant you accidentally stepped on."
Mark seemed to have guessed something. He turned his head, looking at his Father with an expression of disbelief. His mouth slightly opened, as if wanting to say something, but was blocked back by Omni-Man's undeniable aura.
"Don't be afraid. You'll get used to it."
Omni-Man's gaze was filled with indifference towards life. He was going to give his son a dose of strong medicine, completely changing Mark's perspective. How could a fierce beast associate with a flock of sheep? "No!" Mark's feet erupted with astonishing strength, and he flew outwards like a cannon shell, trying to escape Omni-Man's control.
But the next second, he was firmly gripped by the neck by a large hand wearing a red glove, and his face slammed hard into a concrete column. With a loud bang, concrete fragments splattered everywhere, and almost half of Mark's head was embedded within it.
"Are you afraid? Or are you running away?"
Omni-Man lifted Mark with one hand, looking at the exposed bent rebar, his tone gradually firming. "I am teaching you how to become a qualified Viltrumite. You need to discard all unnecessary emotions, especially running away because of fear. This is something I cannot allow."
With that, he lifted the struggling Mark, hovered above the Ground, and came to the subway tracks.
Just then, the roaring sound of a train came from a distance. The sound grew louder and louder, as if an enraged giant beast was rapidly approaching. At this moment, the Passengers inside the train had no idea what they were about to encounter. The train's lights illuminated Mark's cheek. His heart accelerated drastically, and he subconsciously widened his eyes, his hands still struggling to break free from control.
The wind whistled past his ears, and the front of the train got closer and closer to him...
Boom! With a loud bang, Mark and the train collided. The immense impact force seemed to solidify the surrounding air.
The front of the train was severely deformed by the impact. The horrific state of the Passengers inside appeared incredibly clearly in Mark's eyes, like a movie played in slow motion.
Splattering metal fragments, bright red blood, internal organs brushing past his face, and various body fragments all came into intimate contact with him. The scene was far more terrifying, horrifying, and bloody than a gore film! Amidst the screams, the entire train, after moving a distance, crashed onto its side with a roar.
At this moment, Allen the Alien, who had rushed to the Scene, stared at this sight dumbfounded. His arrival attracted Omni-Man's attention.
Inside the Subway, the lights flickered erratically, and the alarm was sharp and piercing.
He wore his iconic red cape, holding Mark in one hand, and slowly turned around. The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.
"Put him down." Allen the Alien rushed over, wanting to rescue Mark from Omni-Man's grasp.
Unexpectedly, Omni-Man actually threw Mark out. Carrying immense strength, he directly smashed into the charging Allen the Alien. The two collided and rolled several times on the Ground, kicking up large amounts of dust.
Seconds later, Mark struggled to his feet from the Ground, staring intently at the Father he had once so greatly adored.
His hands were trembling, and viscous blood dripped down his arm from his fingertips onto the Ground.
"Mark, they are no different from the ants you accidentally stepped on. Do you consider yourself to be kindred with ants?" Omni-Man hovered in mid-air, looking at Mark, who had clenched his fist, and said unhurriedly, "Join us. Viltrum is your ultimate destination."
His voice echoed in the Subway's Passage, and an invisible sense of oppression emanated from his body, seemingly wanting to force Mark to make a choice.
Mark gritted his teeth and responded angrily, "Never! I would rather die than join you!"
After speaking, he charged directly at Omni-Man, his right fist carrying powerful strength, aiming straight for Omni-Man's face.
Omni-Man remained calm, slightly shifting his body to easily dodge the swift strike.
Then, he grabbed Mark's shoulder with a backhand and threw Mark down fiercely. A Ravine was smashed into the Ground, and smoke and dust rose. Looking at Mark at the end of the Ravine.
Omni-Man frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment in his tone. "With just this much strength, you want to resist me?"
"Are you okay?" Allen the Alien came to Mark's side and pulled him up.
"You can't even defeat me, and you still want to help Earth defeat the Viltrumite Empire?" Omni-Man grabbed the edge of a train car, easily lifted the entire train car, then flew into the air, looking down at the two of them. "I'll ask you one last time, which side do you want to stand on? Answer me!"
