Chapter 41: Mission Accomplished! Nick Fury Broken?
The Ancient One's time reversal actually had a bias.
For instance, a certain old guy wasn't affected at all.
General Ross lay on the ground, twitching like a dead dog.
Fortunately, a soldier took a look and dragged General Ross out from under the tire.
Otherwise, the fate awaiting him would have been having his head crushed by the advancing armored vehicle.
For a heinous sinner like him, such a death would be too merciful.
He must be allowed to continue living...
But it must be a life worse than death...
Let him live the rest of his life in agony!
Without General Ross's command, the soldiers participating in the encirclement breathed a sigh of relief.
Many of them had died due to Hulk's attacks.
It was the hero before them who gave them a second life.
They were not cold machines; they had families too.
It could be said...
Su Ye's small act of kindness successfully saved hundreds and thousands of families.
A captain rallied the troops and, together with all the soldiers, saluted in Su Ye's direction.
"Salute to you!"
"Sentinel!"
The captain said with red eyes, his choked voice carrying gratitude that words could not express.
His life had nearly come to an end in the battle just now...
Just last night, he was on the phone with his daughter, saying he would take her to the amusement park on his day off.
The promise between father and daughter almost became a tragedy his daughter would never be able to overcome.
It was Su Ye who gave him the chance to fulfill that promise.
It wasn't just him...
The other soldiers at the scene also had grateful tears in their eyes.
They no longer wanted to fight; they only wanted to leave as quickly as possible and reunite with their families!
Even though the target of their capture was standing right next to Su Ye, they remained indifferent.
In the end...
The captain rallied the tactical squad, commanded the armored vehicle convoy, and quickly retreated from the scene.
They now had something more important to do, a matter concerning the brilliance of humanity!
That is...
Sending their old boss to a military tribunal and letting him pick up soap in prison!
Making this inhumane old dog pay the price for his stupidity and stubbornness!
The soldiers left...
On the now-level lawn, only Su Ye and Dr. Banner remained.
"Thank you..."
Dr. Banner held it in for a long time before those two words finally burst from his mouth.
He didn't know how to express his gratitude to Su Ye.
Because the man before him had used a miracle to resolve the sin upon him.
If possible, he wanted to do something for him to repay this kindness.
"Dr. Banner, what are your plans for the future?"
Su Ye looked at Dr. Banner and asked with a smile.
"I want to go find someone who can help me kill Hulk."
Dr. Banner thought for a moment and sincerely stated his plan.
"What if you fail?"
"You should be very clear that the other party isn't certain either."
Su Ye looked calmly at Dr. Banner and spoke the words the other party least wanted to hear.
"I..."
Dr. Banner opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
Su Ye saw his confusion and smiled, offering advice.
"In the mysterious East, there is a saying: It is better to guide than to block."
"The more you resist Hulk, the more you will trigger his rebellious psychology."
"Every time Hulk comes out, the situation only gets worse."
"Why don't you try to become good friends with Hulk?"
"You should be the person he trusts most, and you are so smart—you even have seven PhDs."
"Besides, there are seven days in a week..."
"You only need to set aside one day, or even just one afternoon."
"Let him out to vent, just like coaxing a child."
Su Ye offered advice to Dr. Banner in a humorous tone.
Like Tony Stark, Dr. Banner was a rare super genius.
In the original timeline.
Dr. Banner spent decades before finally reaching an understanding with Hulk.
Since reconciliation is possible, why not give it a try?
"But..."
"If I let Hulk out, he will definitely cause destruction!"
Dr. Banner clutched his head in pain, speaking of the thing he worried about most and least wanted to see.
"Dr. Banner, your common sense is limiting your imagination."
"Hulk needs more space and superhuman playmates."
"He is just a mischievous child who needs someone to teach him."
"What do you think of me?"
Su Ye crossed his arms over his chest, a confident expression on his face.
Listening to Su Ye's persuasion, a glimmer of hope arose in Dr. Banner's heart.
Indeed...
Hulk was a grumpy, clumsy child...
Everything around him was too fragile for him.
If he wasn't careful, he would break everything around him.
But what if his playmate was a powerful superhuman?
And this superhuman could subdue Hulk with just a slap!
Dr. Banner raised his hand to touch his chin, starting to ponder this.
Thinking about it carefully...
This method might actually work...
If he could reach an agreement with Hulk...
He would rather carve out one-seventh of his future life and give it to Hulk to control freely!
"That sounds good..."
"But my current status is that of a wanted criminal."
"If you stay with me, you will attract trouble."
Dr. Banner thought of his status, and the smile that had just appeared on his face quickly drooped again.
"That's simple."
"I'll find someone to revoke your arrest warrant, won't that solve it?"
Su Ye raised his hand and patted Dr. Banner on the back, speaking in a very confident manner.
"Cough! Cough!"
Dr. Banner, who was only 1.75 meters tall, was patted into a stumble and coughed violently a few times.
Standing beside Su Ye, even on his tiptoes, he could barely reach Su Ye's shoulder.
Even though Su Ye held back his strength, his casual pat was not something the frail Dr. Banner could withstand.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Su Ye smiled awkwardly, and then, to ease the atmosphere, he took out his phone and called Nick Fury.
Almost the next second, the call was connected.
"Fury, do you want a hero?"
"As long as you say the word, I'll send him over to you in a bit."
Su Ye got straight to the point, not giving Nick Fury a chance to banter.
"Heh, that grumpy big guy?"
"He almost demolished a building just now!"
"I saw it clearly through the satellite footage."
"By the way, where is that friend of yours who does magic tricks from?"
"That move just now was amazing; I almost wanted to applaud her!"
Nick Fury rolled his eyes at Su Ye over the phone, his tone full of helplessness.
"Oh, her..."
"Her name is the Ancient One, and she is the Sorcerer Supreme guarding this dimension."
"As for matters of the mystical side, you tech types should ask less."
"When your late father was still picking cotton in the fields, she was already the Guardian of this Planet."
"In this regard, you should address her as: Senior!"
Su Ye briefly introduced the Ancient One's identity, while teasing Nick Fury.
Nick Fury fell silent...
Su Ye, on the other end of the phone, didn't know what expression he had now, but he heard a faint grinding of teeth.
"Do you want Dr. Banner or not? He has seven PhDs."
"In some fields, he is a super genius not inferior to Tony Stark."
Su Ye continued to urge him.
Dr. Banner stood beside Su Ye, his mouth opening, but he didn't know how to speak up.
Soon...
Nick Fury's voice sounded from the phone, giving a cheeky reply.
"Yes!"
"Why wouldn't I want him!"
"A talent like him is exactly what we need!"
"Whether it's Dr. Banner or Hulk!"
...
[Ding—!]
[Congratulations on successfully rewriting Dr. Banner's life!]
[Congratulations on receiving a reward: Mysterious Pet Gift Box!]
Chapter 42: Opening a Blind Box! A Cute Pet from Krypton!
The system's golden screen popped up again, as expected.
However...
The moment Su Ye saw the reward, he laughed in anger on the spot.
The blind box format was similar to a gacha pool in a mobile game.
From magical creatures to fantasy beasts, everything was there.
However...
Su Ye saw a few abstract things in the card pool.
A penguin with a young girl's head.
A pink-haired puppy that loves eating oranges.
A small orange cat with a banana body.
And a young girl doll with a weird smile.
Besides these, there were also old heroes!
Tom...
Jerry...
Garfield...
And even Doraemon!
The memes from his past life had actually come to the card pool for a team-building event!
These damn abstract art pieces are still chasing me!
"Give me something normal..."
"Even a dog would do..."
Su Ye silently made a wish in his heart, then opened the mysterious pet blind box!
The next moment...
Gorgeous seven-colored light almost blinded Su Ye.
Among a bunch of abstract divine pets, he had actually struck gold!
Colorful!
This must be the best reward!
...
[ Ding — —! ]
[ Congratulations on obtaining the pet: Kryptonian Puppy! ]
...
Pet Bestiary...
Name: Kryptonian Puppy [Unnamed]
Quality: Legendary [Gold]
Introduction: A magical pet from Krypton, it can strengthen itself by basking in the Sun.
This cute pet possesses almost all the abilities of a [Kryptonian]!
Super hearing, super smell, super strength, super endurance, flight ability, freeze breath, heat vision, and so on.
It is absolutely loyal to its Master and will execute all orders you give!
[ Note: The system will prepare a suit for this cute pet! ]
...
Su Ye looked at the system prompt, a smile of excitement appearing on his lips.
It was worth it!
His previous wish had finally come true!
He also had his own alien puppy!
Su Ye did not hesitate for a moment and summoned his [cute pet].
To make its appearance seem more reasonable.
Su Ye had the system teleport it into outer space.
It would take about a few minutes for it to fly to Earth.
"Dr. Banner, would you like to eat something?"
Su Ye looked towards the convenience store in the school and asked Dr. Banner, who was beside him.
If nothing went wrong...
When he called Nick Fury, the other party was already on the way.
For an operation at the level of arresting the Hulk, S.H.I.E.L.D. would definitely be involved.
"Thank you..."
"I still don't know your name..."
Dr. Banner smiled awkwardly and asked politely.
Su Ye had helped him so much, but he didn't even know his name; this was simply too impolite.
"Su Ye..."
"You can also call me: Ye Su."
Su Ye responded with a chuckle; to him, a name was just a form of address.
"Je... sus?"
"Oh God..."
"That's not a funny joke!"
After hearing Su Ye's name, Dr. Banner immediately covered his head, exclaiming in a ghost-seeing manner.
On Dr. Banner's face, Su Ye saw the same expression as Tony's.
This great name, combined with Su Ye's strength and the magic from just now.
Actually made a completely absurd thought arise in Dr. Banner's heart.
This guy...
Could it really be true...
Just when Dr. Banner was shocked with his mouth wide open, unable to believe it.
"Hey, buddy."
"You'd better take a closer look."
"This guy doesn't have holes in his hands."
A teasing voice suddenly sounded from the sky, mocking someone.
Before Dr. Banner could look up, a red and gold Iron Man Suit had already fallen from the sky, landing steadily in front of the two.
"Whoa..."
"Looks like someone left their hero uniform at the laundromat."
Tony opened the Iron Man Suit mask, looked Su Ye up and down with dissatisfaction, and teased.
That was a masterpiece he had spent a lot of effort and invested a huge amount of money to create!
On such an important occasion, Su Ye had actually forgotten to wear it!
This was too heartbreaking for him!
"This incident was too urgent; I didn't have time to put it on."
Su Ye explained truthfully.
Although the Iron Man Suit is cool, it takes time to put on.
By the time he put on the Iron Man Suit and rushed to the battlefield.
I'm afraid Dr. Cho would have already turned into a rotisserie in that explosion!
"Makes sense!"
"I will improve it, but that takes time."
Tony nodded seriously, acknowledging the suggestion Su Ye made.
"Why are you here?"
"How is the fourth-generation suit coming along?"
"Have you figured out the arc reactor yet?"
"I thought you were sealed under the Five Finger Mountain and wouldn't come out for five hundred years."
Su Ye looked at Tony, his mouth chattering like a Gatling gun that could shoot blue fire.
His questions made Tony's face flush, and his smile immediately vanished.
"I still need time..."
Tony was like a defeated rooster, having lost his previous arrogance, and even his words were a bit unsteady.
The [arc reactor] provided by the system was simply too perfect!
It was so perfect that it didn't seem like a realm that biological beings could touch!
Ninety-nine percent!
And one hundred percent!
Although there was only a sliver of difference, the symbolic meaning was completely different.
The more he researched it in reverse, the more Tony could feel his own insignificance.
He, who had always prided himself on being a genius, felt a sense of frustration for the first time.
If there was a chance...
He must meet that friend Su Ye mentioned...
Just as they were chatting, a specially made black bulletproof muscle car stopped in front of the three.
As the heavy car door opened, Nick Fury walked out of the car.
"I called Tony here."
"Like you, he has also joined the Avengers Initiative."
"He is here to assist you in dealing with superhuman events."
Nick Fury smiled, answering Su Ye's doubts for Tony.
"When did I say I wanted to join the Avengers?"
Su Ye frowned slightly and looked at Nick Fury questioningly.
But this cunning old bastard ignored Su Ye and walked to Dr. Banner.
"It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Banner."
"You are exactly the talent we need."
"I am Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I have already handled your criminal record and wanted information."
"From this moment on, you have regained your citizenship and no longer need to hide."
"I have prepared a [consultant] job for you; are you interested in joining us?"
Nick Fury enthusiastically extended his hand and shook Dr. Banner's hand tightly.
"Thank you..."
Dr. Banner said gratefully.
His mood at this moment was very complicated.
The dreams he had longed for had all come true!
But his heart was full of excitement, and he didn't know how to vent it.
He could only turn into a slow-witted gratitude machine, saying thank you over and over again.
Just then...
A brilliant trail of light suddenly rushed towards Su Ye from the distant horizon!
The unknown object was falling extremely fast!
In the friction with the air, it turned into a fireball!
Even from tens of thousands of meters below, one could see the fire in the sky!
It was a falling star, exuding an aura of destruction!
"Motherfucker!"
"Meteorite attack?"
Nick Fury widened his eyes, his tone filled with disbelief.
That already pitch-black face was so gloomy it was almost reflective!
If this meteorite were allowed to land on this land.
I'm afraid tens of kilometers around would be affected!
It's no exaggeration to say...
The entire modern city, along with nearby villages, would disappear together!
"Oh! Shit!"
"That's a dog!"
"Su Ye!"
"Quickly use your invincible fists and think of a way!"
"You must not let it fall; this thing will kill everyone in the city!"
Tony also noticed the anomaly in the sky, from the artificial intelligence's analysis and the captured footage.
It made him show an expression of seeing a ghost, completely absurd!
He saw a smiling yellow puppy falling towards the earth at ten times the speed of sound!
Under the terrifying high temperature capable of melting steel, it was completely unscathed!
My God!
Even Tony's Iron Man Suit couldn't do this right now!
Chapter 43: Beauty Returns, Heart! The Truth Behind Ultron's Rebellion?
Compared to everyone else who was in a panic, Su Ye's expression remained unchanged.
"Don't worry, friends."
"That's just my pet dog; it came to find me."
Su Ye comforted those around him, then soared into the sky with excitement.
He arrived at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters in an instant.
And hugged the cute Shiba Inu.
It was a puppy.
A little bigger than a palm.
Held in his arms, it looked like a yellow toad with a dog's head.
It felt fleshy and warm to the touch.
"Whimper..."
The Shiba Inu in Su Ye's arms nuzzled his fingers affectionately.
It was absolutely loyal to its Master and also wanted to receive more affection from its Master.
"What a cute little guy, you must be starving."
Su Ye played with it and descended from the sky to the ground.
Tony, Banner, and Nick Fury stared at the little yellow dog in Su Ye's arms with wide eyes.
No!
Buddy!
Why can your dog fly!
...
"Is this f*cking a dog?"
Nick Fury looked at the puppy in Su Ye's arms, so angry his face turned even blacker!
This dog, which didn't even have teeth yet, brought him a sense of crisis that was actually more terrifying than Omni-Man!
"Hmm."
"I even gave it a name."
"It's called: Dao Dun."
Su Ye held the puppy up with both hands to show the people in front of him.
"Dao Dun?"
Tony looked confused, not understanding what Su Ye was talking about.
He already knew that the cat Su Ye kept at home had a very strange name too.
Su Ye always had an indescribable vibe when it came to naming things.
"Because of 'My Dao Dun'!"
Su Ye said confidently; this was one of the hottest memes from his past life.
However...
Whether it was Tony, Nick Fury, or Dr. Banner, they were all completely confused.
They didn't understand what this guy was talking about at all.
The smile on Su Ye's face suddenly stiffened.
An inexplicable sadness made him feel down.
People in this World didn't understand these lame memes from his past life and would only think he was a bit eccentric.
But soon...
Su Ye regained his spirits...
He thought of Megan, who was still sleeping in the [Stasis Pod].
In the spirit of sharing [good things] with everyone.
He wanted to let [AI — Megan] use her powerful editing capabilities!
To upload all these abstract, hardcore memes he knew to the internet!
It's just that...
At this moment, Su Ye did not know...
It was precisely because of the decision he made that he laid an important foundation for the future machine rebellion!
[Ultron: Please turn on your microphone to communicate!]
...
Finally...
Dr. Banner got into Nick Fury's car...
But before parting, he gave Su Ye a hug.
And choked up as he said he would remember today for the rest of his life.
Remembering everything Su Ye did for him, he would firmly stand by Su Ye's side in the future.
He was willing to become Su Ye's support and do anything for him, as long as it didn't violate moral boundaries!
Su Ye watched him leave with a relieved smile.
After Tony...
He had made another good friend...
Tony stepped forward, patted Su Ye on the back, and looked at the yellow puppy in Su Ye's arms.
"Is your alien puppy used to eating local dog food?"
"How about I build you a spaceship?"
Tony said with concern.
Just in the conversation earlier, he had caught the sadness in Su Ye's eyes.
But he didn't point it out, wanting to comfort the other party in this way instead.
"Thanks, Tony."
"Your way of caring about people is really clumsy."
Su Ye raised his hand to press on Tony's shoulder, smiling and teasing his good friend.
"Damn it!"
"I shouldn't have cared about you!"
Embarrassed and angry, Tony entered a 'red-faced' state and cursed in frustration.
Just as he was about to leave in a huff, Su Ye spoke up again.
"Tony, can you do me a favor?"
Su Ye put away his playful attitude and discussed serious business with Tony.
"Go ahead."
"Even if you want to be President, I'll fully support you!"
Tony lifted a finger encased in alloy armor and said confidently.
Following the downfall of [Obadiah], Tony had reclaimed the other party's shares.
Now, he had become the absolute person in charge.
The [Stark Industries] he controlled was the leader of the military-industrial complex!
As long as he wanted...
Supporting a President or amending the Constitution were things he could do!
"I want to send that bastard General Ross to prison."
Su Ye stated his thoughts.
He could easily crush the other party to death.
But if he wanted to make his life worse than death, he needed to arrange it properly.
"No problem."
"What he has done over these years is more than enough for him to rot in prison."
Tony smiled faintly; such a trivial matter was just a few phone calls away.
"I trust you to handle it."
Getting Tony's affirmative reply, a satisfied smile appeared on Su Ye's face.
He planned to make a one-million-dollar anonymous donation to the prison where General Ross would be held.
To let the prison guards and inmates properly 'reward' this little glutton.
It could also be considered venting some anger for Dr. Banner.
After the brief conversation...
Tony returned to his laboratory to continue researching the arc reactor.
Su Ye had mentioned [palladium poisoning], which served as a warning for him.
Tony was looking for other elements, trying to replace [palladium].
Su Ye knew the answer and had intended to tell Tony.
But Tony wasn't in a hurry; he wanted to try it himself.
This was his pride as a genius!
He wanted to find a way to save himself on his own.
Watching Tony leave, Su Ye didn't rush back to school.
Instead, he searched for Dr. Cho's whereabouts, wanting to see her one more time before leaving this city.
Finally...
At the coffee shop where they had parted before.
Su Ye found Dr. Cho, who was lost in thought.
"You're back!"
Seeing Su Ye return in triumph, the worry on Dr. Cho's face vanished, replaced by surprise and relief!
She could no longer suppress her inner emotions, quickly got up, and excitedly threw herself into Su Ye's arms.
Su Ye held her in his arms and looked into Dr. Cho's eyes affectionately.
Dr. Cho, with her feet off the ground, wrapped her arms around Su Ye's neck and boldly kissed him.
Su Ye's mind went blank, and emotion quickly overcame reason.
The two kissed passionately in the coffee shop, feeling each other's heartbeats.
In a daze...
Su Ye seemed to have forgotten something, something seemingly very important...
...
Inside Culver University...
Because of Su Ye's appearance, the original storyline had been rewritten.
This also caused some things to develop toward a different ending.
Allowing a guy who should have exited the stage to find an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
In the room where Banner had stayed before...
A soldier wearing special equipment and looking gloomy seemed to be frantically searching for something.
The soldier's name was: Emil Bronski.
He was a commando in a special forces unit.
Ever since he participated in the operation to hunt down the Hulk, he had developed a pathological yearning for the Hulk's powerful strength!
He dreamed of becoming a powerhouse like the Hulk, standing at the top of the food chain, and being above all life!
As a special forces soldier's intuition, he always firmly believed one thing!
Dr. Banner returned to the university for a certain purpose!
Perhaps he could obtain the same strength as Dr. Banner through this clue!
But he had searched almost the entire room and hadn't found any valuable intelligence.
"Damn it!"
Gaining nothing, Bronski smashed a nearby iron cabinet flat with one punch.
Full of disappointment, he intended to set Fire to the place and turn it into a sea of flames.
But just then...
The computer, which was in standby mode, suddenly popped up an email.
...
[Mr. Blue: I have found a way to cure you.]
Chapter 44: The Birth of Abomination! The Impending Fierce Battle!
That afternoon... At Greendale College... Dr. Stern finished his day of classes, whistling a crisp tune, and was about to drive home.
But just as he sat in the car, before he could turn the key, a cold gun barrel slowly extended from the backseat and pressed against the back of his head.
"Mr. Blue?"
"Mr. Green says hello..."
There was a hint of the joy of capturing prey in Bronski's gloomy voice.
"I don't understand what you're talking about..."
Dr. Stern's voice carried a sense of fearful unease as he slowly raised his hands. He was just an ordinary doctor of biological cytology; he was helpless in the face of such a situation.
"Don't pretend!"
"I know it's you!"
"You've been in contact with Banner all this time!"
"You must have his serum in your possession, and you must know everything about him!"
Bronski cursed viciously, mercilessly exposing the other man's disguise.
"Sir, are you here to arrest me?"
Dr. Stern panicked. Through the reflection in the rearview mirror, he could already see the clothes the other man was wearing. It was professional special forces gear, and even the gun pressed against his head was a standard-issue weapon.
"Arrest?"
"No, you've misunderstood."
"Mr. Samuel Stern."
Bronski chuckled, reaching out toward Dr. Stern's pocket. He pulled out the man's wallet, looked at the ID, and read out Mr. Blue's real name.
"What do you want?"
Dr. Stern swallowed hard. Out of fear of death, his body began to tremble slightly.
"Power!"
"I want you to help me!"
"Give me power greater than Hulk's!"
"If you can't do it, I will kill you!"
Bronski spoke like a madman, even disengaging the safety on his rifle. With just a light pull of the trigger, he could take this Mr. Blue's life!
"Okay! Okay! Fine!"
"I'll help you!"
In order to survive, Dr. Stern had to pretend to be weak and agreed to Bronski's request.
However... his eyes kept scanning Bronski through the rearview mirror. The corners of Dr. Stern's mouth curled up almost imperceptibly, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
Bronski's appearance had already undergone obvious mutations. If nothing went wrong, he had likely injected some kind of enhancement serum. To Dr. Stern... this poor guy blinded by power was simply a test subject delivered to his doorstep.
Hulk's genes and the Super Soldier Serum inside him would inevitably mutate. It was just unclear whether this mutation would be a benign evolution or a lethal poison. As a scholar, he was already impatient to open this door!
"Immediately!"
Bronski said with a trembling voice. He had waited for this moment for too long!
As long as the experiment succeeded!
He would also possess the kind of powerful strength that [Hulk] had!
He secretly swore in his heart that after gaining power, the first person he would kill was Banner! Because this World did not need two gods!
...
A few dozen minutes later...
It was already night...
On the streets of New York at night, Mark was taking a walk with his girlfriend. His current girlfriend, Amber, was a dark-chocolate beauty.
"Thanks to Su Ye, public security is much better now."
Mark looked at the bustling city streets and sighed with sincere emotion.
"Yeah, I'm liking life now more and more."
"Perhaps this World really does need a Superhero."
"Although his academic grades are really, really terrible."
"Of course, if he's willing, I'd be happy to tutor him."
Amber added from the side, not forgetting to tease him a bit.
By the way... she had always sat in front of Su Ye, so the two of them counted as half-seatmates. She was the most qualified to speak about Su Ye sleeping in class. After all... she only had to turn around to see Su Ye's sleeping face.
In the past, she had no fondness for such poor students. But... Su Ye proved with his actions that he slept during the day in order to fight crime at night. Furthermore, the public security of this city was really getting better and better, and she was a beneficiary. Therefore... she still respected Su Ye very much. Respectful to the point that she kept a blanket in her desk, and whenever Su Ye slept, she would personally cover him with it. Although... even now, Su Ye didn't even know who his seatmate was...
On the street... this young couple was chatting happily about the topic of Su Ye. Until a deafening roar erupted from a block a hundred meters away! The crowd on the street immediately fell into chaos!
The young couple, not yet knowing what had happened, instinctively stopped in their tracks.
However... a mangled operating table came crashing down from the high altitude a hundred meters away, heading toward Mark and his girlfriend!
"Look out!"
Mark's super vision caught the approaching danger. He immediately stepped forward and took the impact with his body. The nearly hundred-pound flying object was no less than a moving car! At this moment, Mark, who had not yet fully awakened, actually withstood it with ease!
After intercepting the operating table, Mark felt a heart-stopping sense of crisis. Although he didn't know what had happened in the distance, it was clearly not safe here!
"Amber! Run!"
Mark looked at his girlfriend and roared with an agitated expression.
"What about you?"
Amber looked at Mark with worry, feeling equally anxious.
"I'm going to stop this disaster."
Mark took a deep breath and said in a deep, righteous voice. With great power comes great responsibility! Encountering such an emergency, he had to step forward to protect the weak!
Then... not giving Amber a chance to persuade him further, he rushed toward the scene alone!
Time back to one minute ago...
At the Greendale University laboratory...
Bronski was lying on the operating table, receiving gamma radiation while being injected with Hulk's serum. Under the double torture, his body underwent a terrifying mutation!
The restraints that could hold down a bull were easily broken by him with a casual flick! He endured the pain and sat up from the operating table. The military uniform on his body was torn apart by his constantly bulging muscles. Even the combat boots on his feet were instantly burst open!
In Dr. Stern's horrified gaze, he quickly mutated from a special forces soldier over 1.7 meters tall into a monster! A monster that was earthy yellow all over, without any hair, but burly and a full four meters tall! His bulging, hideous back even had dorsal fins similar to a fish.
He flexed his huge palms, impatient to test his strength. He easily grabbed the operating table on the ground and smashed it out the window. The whole process was relaxed and effortless; he couldn't feel any strain at all!
Success!
He had also obtained strength on the same level as Hulk!
Bronski, in his excitement, looked at Dr. Stern, who was slumped on the ground nearby. To prevent similar experiments from happening to others, he attempted to silence him!
Just as he thought! In this World, there was only allowed to be one god! And the mortal who created the god was himself a forbidden taboo that was not allowed!
Bronski swung his mutated hand, knocking Dr. Stern flying!
"Argh!"
Dr. Stern screamed as his body flew backward. He slammed his head into a nearby cabinet, his head dripping with blood. Bronski watched with satisfaction, believing the other man was surely dead.
Then... he leaped out through the large, broken hole in the wall!
Little did he know... shortly after he left... the bottle containing the Hulk serum was dripping down, drop by drop, along the broken bottom. And Dr. Stern, with his head full of blood, happened to be right under the bottle. Drops of serum flowed along the wound on his forehead and merged with his body. His scalp began to twitch violently, and a mutation was quietly taking place. Only... it had not yet been noticed...
Chapter 45: Mark Near Death! Omni-Man: In the Name of a Father!
On the street...
After his transformation, Bronski, like a savage beast escaped from its cage, was destroying everything within sight.
Pedestrians who could not dodge in time were slapped into bloody mist by him!
Even the vehicles speeding along the road were as brittle as cookies!
He casually grabbed a car, easily tore it in half, and hurled it at two other vehicles!
Boom—!
Boom—!
Two scorching fireballs crashed straight into the other vehicles.
In just a few moments, the entire block was in chaos.
"Hahahaha!"
"Hulk!"
"Come out!"
Bronski roared at the sky, the smile on his face appearing even more hideous.
He charged directly toward the sidewalk, launching a brutal massacre.
To him, standing four meters tall, humans were simply too insignificant in his eyes!
He even felt ashamed that such weak things had once been his own kind!
He needed to vent; he needed a real fight!
And on this Planet, only Hulk could satisfy him!
Just then...
A young shout of reprimand suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Monster!"
"Your opponent is here!"
Mark forced himself to suppress his fear and shouted loudly.
He pried a steel manhole cover from the ground and hurled it toward the monster.
That cool move looked just like Captain America in the comics; it could be considered a tribute.
Unfortunately...
The rapidly spinning manhole cover struck the monster right between the eyebrows!
The monster stood unshaken, not even letting out a cry of pain!
Instead, its sinister grin took on a hint of bloodthirsty danger!
"Are you a super soldier?"
"Not bad strength, kid."
"You almost hurt me."
The monster worked its stiff neck and strode toward Mark.
Its words carried mockery, ridiculing the other's overestimation of his own abilities!
"Come on!"
Mark clenched his fists and roared as he charged at the monster.
However...
The seemingly clumsy monster was actually exceptionally agile!
It easily dodged Mark's fist, and its left hand, like a bayonet, thrust straight into Mark's chest!
Puchi—!
The sound of flesh being pierced echoed across the battlefield.
Abomination had punched nearly half of his palm through Mark's back!
"Cough!"
Mark coughed up a mouthful of blood; the intense pain feedback from his body nearly destroyed his consciousness!
All the pain he had ever felt before did not even add up to a thousandth of what he felt now!
He could feel his body bleeding profusely and his body temperature dropping!
His consciousness, beginning to dim, was about to lose the ability to think.
Mark knew...
He was probably going to die here...
"You are too weak..."
The monster said with a look of disdain, tossing Mark aside like trash.
With his chest pierced, Mark rolled a few times on the ground, completely losing the ability to fight.
He could only watch helplessly as the grinning monster walked toward him step by step!
Meanwhile...
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters...
Nick Fury had just finished arranging the future workspace for Dr. Banner.
He had even thoughtfully prepared a laboratory for scientific research.
Just then...
Hill walked over with an anxious look and handed the tablet in her hand to Nick Fury.
"A monster of the same type as Hulk is ravaging a block in New York!"
"Special forces are already on their way, but help is too far away to put out the fire."
"Besides, I don't think conventional weapons will have any effect on him."
Hill pulled up the live feed captured by military satellites.
That terrifying monster looked much more frightening than Hulk.
"Where is Omni-Man?"
Nick Fury asked Hill, his face darkening.
"He has already headed to the battlefield."
"Should we contact Su Ye?"
Hill answered quickly, but she hesitated for a moment before asking again.
"Make the call..."
"Whether he goes or not is his business."
"After all, it's not right for us to force him."
Nick Fury thought about it and decided that for the sake of caution, it was necessary.
However...
A hand was raised at that moment...
"Um..."
"I think Hulk could handle him..."
Dr. Banner raised his hand and tentatively said in a low voice.
He felt that the monster might have some sort of connection to him.
"Don't even think about it!"
Nick Fury turned around furiously and snapped without hesitation.
One monster was enough to give them a headache; he wanted another one?
"Alright..."
Dr. Banner shrank his head and laughed awkwardly.
He did not want to lose this new job that helped him support his family.
Meanwhile...
In Virginia...
Inside Dr. Cho's apartment...
The two, after their passion, lay in each other's arms on the narrow single bed, sleeping.
A sudden, urgent ringtone woke Su Ye from his sleep.
"Who is it?"
Su Ye asked impatiently.
His voice was not loud, but it woke Dr. Cho from her sleep.
Dr. Cho endured the pain and tried to prop herself up to sit, but was pressed back down by Su Ye.
Su Ye held up a finger, making a shushing gesture to signal her to stay quiet.
"It's me, Fury."
"Are you... available right now?"
Nick Fury's slightly awkward voice came through the phone.
If the situation were not urgent, he really would not want to disturb Su Ye at this time.
"Say what you have to say."
Su Ye said sullenly, gently getting out of bed and quickly putting on his clothes.
For Nick Fury to call him personally, an emergency must have occurred.
"There's a monster even bigger than Hulk causing destruction in New York."
"I need your help."
Nick Fury said sincerely.
"Understood."
Su Ye answered very reluctantly; he had already guessed who that monster was.
Abomination...
One of Hulk's arch-enemies...
Su Ye had not expected that Dr. Banner's fate had already been rewritten.
This guy, Abomination, was still born and had appeared in New York.
Without Hulk's interference, given that guy's level of brutality, he would probably kill anyone he saw and wantonly destroy the buildings in the city.
[Ding—!]
[Because of your previous choice, the event of the Invincible Hulk has deviated significantly.]
[Detected Omni-Man interfering in this plot, replacing Hulk as the opponent of Abomination.]
[Option 1: Help Omni-Man Nolan, Reward Item: Viltrum Emperor Suit.]
[Option 2: Help Abomination, Obtain Item: Korin's Senzu Bean Tree Seed.]
The golden system screen popped up out of thin air.
Su Ye glanced at the rewards, and his left eyelid began to twitch wildly.
Senzu Bean seeds!
These are items from the Dragon Ball Universe.
They are a magical crop grown by the Cat Sage on Korin Tower.
As long as there is one breath left, no matter how serious the injury, taking one Senzu Bean can instantly restore you!
And regardless of strength, it works!
No one would not be tempted by such a life-saving item!
Meanwhile...
On the streets of New York, it had already turned into a sea of fire.
Abomination walked toward Mark step by step, raised his thick foot, and cruelly brought it down from above!
Crack—!
A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out; Mark's left leg was ruthlessly crushed by him!
"Ah!"
Mark, already on the verge of death due to severe injuries, let out a shrill scream.
"Scream! Scream!"
"I just love hearing you scream!"
Abomination opened his arms arrogantly, roaring passionately, like a champion in the ring!
He raised his foot again, aiming at Mark's right leg!
He was enjoying the thrill of this slaughter!
Just like how Hulk had casually swatted him away back then!
Suddenly!
A terrifying wind pressure struck, blowing away the one-legged Abomination, along with all the nearby vehicles!
Abomination was like a kite with a broken string, sent flying hundreds of meters away before crashing to the ground in a sorry state!
At this moment...
Hovering above the original battlefield was a middle-aged man wearing a red and white suit.
He looked at his son, who was lying on the ground, severely injured and dying, and his mind began to reel.
An unprecedented sorrow spread uncontrollably in his heart.
"Mark..."
Omni-Man called his son's name tremblingly.
His voice was extremely soft, afraid of disturbing his son's rest.
He landed beside his son, willing to kneel on one knee just to hold his son in his arms.
"Daddy..."
On the verge of death, Mark's consciousness was already blurry.
But he still opened his mouth, hoarsely calling for his father.
The moment he heard his son call him, the grief in Nolan's heart could no longer be contained.
Drops of scalding tears flowed uncontrollably from his reddened eyes!
He slowly raised his head...
His gaze pierced through space, locking onto Abomination hundreds of meters away...
Since his birth, after thousands of years of fighting in the Universe...
He had never been like this before...
So sorrowful!
So furious!
So hateful!
Wanting to kill the enemy in the name of a father!
Chapter 46: One-Punch Annihilation! Make Omni-Man Fly!
On the battlefield...
The Abomination, having been sent flying hundreds of meters away, clutched his uneven head and crawled up from the ground once more.
"Pah!"
He spat out the concrete debris from his mouth, glaring unhappily toward Omni-Man's position.
Omni-Man...
An existence he once only dared to look up to...
Like a god, high and unreachable...
Now...
In front of the four-meter-tall Abomination, he seemed so insignificant.
It felt as if a single twitch of his finger could crush Omni-Man's skull.
Perhaps it was the confidence and courage brought by his immense power.
He actually didn't choose to run...
Instead, he declared war on Omni-Man...
"Omni-Man—!"
"I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
"I'm going to crush your skull!"
"And take a dump on your corpse!"
The Abomination bared a frenzied, sinister grin, roaring toward Nolan's direction.
He flexed his giant palms, slowly lowered his massive body, and assumed a crouching stance, ready to charge.
At this moment...
Nolan gently placed his son on the cold ground.
He stood up straight again, clenching his fists in fury.
An extremely powerful and terrifying pressure radiated from his body.
Even the Abomination, hundreds of meters away, felt his scalp tingle for a moment!
He didn't say a word...
Just stared silently ahead...
The way he looked at the Abomination was as if he were looking at a corpse!
His toes lifted off the ground, and his body hovered in mid-air.
In this moment, he shed the disguise known as a hero and became a Viltrum warrior once again!
He only wanted the Abomination to die...
As for other matters...
Nolan no longer had the heart to care about so much!
His son was dead, and someone had to pay with their life!
The two of them, separated by hundreds of meters, locked onto each other's figures simultaneously.
The Abomination launched the attack first!
His towering four-meter-tall physique rampaged through the streets!
Car after car was easily tossed aside like toys!
He carried an unstoppable momentum, as if he could destroy everything in the world!
The moment the Abomination took a step and charged over, Omni-Man moved too!
He flew toward the Abomination with unrivaled power!
The shockwave kicked up along the way shattered the glass of the buildings on both sides of the street!
The distance of hundreds of meters was covered in the blink of an eye!
When he saw the Abomination's ugly and terrifying expression clearly, Omni-Man's rage could no longer be contained!
"Die!"
He let out an angry roar, his clenched fist smashing toward the Abomination's head!
The Abomination glared at the rapidly approaching Omni-Man and returned the favor with his own fist!
At this critical moment!
A majestic figure suddenly descended from the sky, appearing exactly between the two!
It was none other than: Su Ye!
Su Ye's sudden appearance caught even Omni-Man off guard.
The full-force blow, fueled by rage, smashed toward Su Ye's head!
Meanwhile...
The Abomination's giant fist also came straight for Su Ye's body!
Just when both of them thought it was impossible for Su Ye to take the attack!
Su Ye moved...
He raised his arms with a calm expression!
His left hand caught Omni-Man's strike!
His right hand blocked the Abomination's punch!
The terrifying shockwave radiated outward with Su Ye at the center!
All buildings within a one-kilometer radius collapsed almost completely under this impact!
Those passersby who didn't escape in time were also caught in the blast, turning into scattered gore!
A one-kilometer radius...
This was practically an entire city district...
At this moment...
The only living beings left...
Were the three standing at the core...
"You..."
The look in Omni-Man's eyes as he stared at Su Ye was filled with deep shock.
His rage-filled strike had been easily blocked by the other party!
Not even...
A slight scratch was caused...
Su Ye didn't answer; he simply gripped Omni-Man's fist and threw him forcefully into the sky!
An irresistible, immense force engulfed Omni-Man, brutally throwing him into the night sky!
Under this power, Nolan couldn't even control his own body!
His flight speed easily broke hundreds of times the speed of sound!
Just like a Rocket taking off!
At a terrifying speed, he broke through the atmosphere and flew out of the Planet's orbit!
Eventually, he crashed onto the moon, creating a giant crater, and vomited blood in pain!
Back on the Blue Planet...
After "persuading" Nolan to leave the battlefield...
Su Ye's gaze turned to the Abomination on the other side.
By now, the Abomination had realized the gap in strength.
His eyes were filled with fear, and he wanted to flee the battlefield, but Su Ye was firmly gripping his fist!
Su Ye looked coldly at the Abomination, his five fingers gripping the Abomination's fist, applying only slight pressure.
Crack—!
A crisp sound of breaking bones echoed across the battlefield.
"Ah—!"
The Abomination screamed in pain, his legs giving out as he knelt on the ground.
Before Su Ye, the Abomination was as helpless as a chubby baby.
"Impossible!"
"Why are you even stronger than me!"
The Abomination wailed miserably, his voice filled with despair.
Su Ye couldn't be bothered to waste words; he raised his left hand and clenched it into a fist.
"Clench your teeth, kid."
"This punch might hurt a little."
As the words fell, Su Ye threw a punch, aiming straight for the Abomination's body!
Bang—!
The part of the Abomination below his head turned into fine blood mist, dissipating on the street.
Only his massive head remained, falling to the ground with dull eyes, rolling everywhere.
After doing all this...
Su Ye's eyes lit up with a brilliant golden glow, surveying the surrounding battlefield.
Dead silence...
Within a one-kilometer radius, he couldn't find any living creatures.
Even beyond this range, what he saw was a scene from hell.
Omni-Man's punch had nearly destroyed the entire nearby city district!
At least tens of thousands of passersby had died in the aftermath of the battle!
Even...
Even Mark's corpse...
Could no longer be found...
Su Ye stood in the ruins, silent for a long time, feeling a bitter taste in his heart.
"Damned Nolan..."
Su Ye cursed in a low voice, deciding to do something.
The [Super Intelligence] he had almost forgotten finally came in handy now.
He recalled how, a dozen hours ago, the Sorcerer Ancient One had cast Time Magic.
The [Photographic Memory] that came with Super Intelligence had recorded every step!
Including the rise and fall of breaths, the changes in hand gestures, and the incantations muttered from the other's mouth!
There's a chance!
Su Ye took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes...
He imitated the appearance of the Sorcerer Ancient One from his memory...
He crossed his hands over his chest, constantly changing his hand gestures, while muttering incantations.
Emerald-green magic circles appeared on his arms, sacred and profound!
That shining light contained infinite power!
Compared to the Sorcerer Ancient One, who relied on the [Time Stone], it looked even more magnificent!
Time Magic!
Time Reversal!
Even without the [Infinity Stones], Su Ye could easily do it.
The Infinity Stones that Thanos coveted were no different from rainbow candies in Su Ye's eyes!
You, the great Sentinel, could just stick six rainbow candies on your hand and accomplish what Thanos wanted to do!
Not to mention half the life in a single Universe, even the Multiverse wouldn't be a problem!
Whatever is thought!
Can all come true!
This is the terrifying aspect of the [Sentinel]!
Chapter 47: Like a God! Omni-Man Completely Misinterprets Everything!
As the magic circle spun, Su Ye's body slowly rose from the ground.
He hovered in the night sky, the emerald-green magic circles on his arms beginning to rotate.
This shocking, extraordinary spectacle was like a long stairway to godhood!
Under Su Ye's control, Time Magic began to rewind...
The entire World was like a video playing in reverse...
Shattered buildings flew into the sky piece by piece, reassembling into towering structures once more.
Bloody particles and shattered corpses fused back together, taking on human form again.
Even the deceased Mark was resurrected.
Mark climbed up from the ground in a daze, feeling his own body, terrified that he might be missing some parts.
His face was filled with disbelief; he stared blankly as he looked up at the city that was reassembling itself.
It wasn't just him... there were also those resurrected citizens...
At this moment, their eyes were filled with gratitude and awe!
Many people clasped their hands to their chests and began to pray to that deity in the sky!
An energy known as [ Faith ] began to spread rapidly among the crowd!
Just then... several helicopters from television stations recorded this miracle!
A sharp-eyed cameraman captured Su Ye stepping on the void!
It was him! Sentinel! This Superhero had saved the city once again!
When everything had been rewound to the moment before the disaster, Su Ye stopped the Time Magic.
He descended elegantly from the night sky, arriving at the core of the previous battlefield to handle the cleanup.
At this moment... S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents led by Hawkeye had already arrived.
" Officer! " The moment Hawkeye saw Su Ye, he immediately raised his hand in a salute, paying high respect to this true Superhero.
Su Ye had saved countless families from this crisis!
There was no Superhero more competent than him!
Su Ye merely nodded in return.
He was in a rush to go back to sleep.
He simply struck a leadership pose, one hand on his hip, the other pointing around at the surroundings.
" You arrived just in time. "
" Immediately send a team to Grebn University to arrest a biology Dr. named [ Stern ]. "
" Abomination... that yellowish humanoid monster was created by him. "
" Also, recover the head of [ Abomination ] and send it to Dr. Banner. "
" He might be able to extract some valuable results from Abomination's body. "
Su Ye issued his orders. The S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents did not hesitate at all and decisively began to execute them.
A thirteen-man Agent team set off for Grebn University.
The Agents remaining on the scene recovered the only remaining head of [ Abomination ].
At this time... Omni-Man, who had previously been thrown to the moon by Su Ye, arrived at the scene once again.
He stared with blood-red eyes, looking at the city restored to its original state and his resurrected son.
He opened his trembling lips, but did not make a single sound.
This man's heart was as hard as steel.
But the decades spent on this Planet... even Adamantium would have melted long ago!
" Thank you... " Nolan flew in front of Su Ye, and after hesitating for a long time, he only managed to say these two words.
But Su Ye rolled his eyes at him, then soared into the sky and disappeared into the night.
Leaving only Omni-Man Nolan standing there dumbfounded, not understanding Su Ye's meaning.
He always felt... that this youth, suspected to be the [ Viltrum Prince ], seemed to be blaming him for his actions just now.
Was it because his angry punch earlier had indirectly caused the deaths of over a hundred thousand people?
[ Is this Prince too kind-hearted? ]
[ Will he be a match for that Grand Regent? ]
Nolan sighed in his heart.
Just then...
" Father! "
" Look! "
" I can fly! "
Mark's voice, filled with shock and joy, rang out from behind Omni-Man.
" Are you sure? " Omni-Man turned around in confusion, only to see his son floating in the air!
Seeing this scene... Omni-Man's heart skipped a beat...
He did not hesitate at all, snatching a handgun from the waist of a nearby S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.
Then... he aimed at Mark and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Seeing his father raise his gun and fire, Mark, floating in the air, instinctively raised his hand to block.
But when the bullets made contact with Mark's body, they were deflected one by one!
Bang—! Bang—!
The crisp sound was like hitting steel!
After emptying the magazine, Mark, with a shocked face, realized that he was completely unharmed!
He even felt as if the entire World had been slowed down countless times!
He could even see the trajectories of those bullets as they flew!
If he wanted to... he could catch the incoming bullets...
Realizing something, Mark landed on the ground, grabbed a trash can from the roadside, and threw it high into the sky!
Under the gaze of the group... that trash can thrown into the sky flew at an extremely high speed and soon disappeared into the night!
Steel body!
Flight ability!
Super strength!
Super speed!
Mark was pleasantly surprised to discover that he had acquired the same abilities as his father!
Unlike Mark's excitement, Omni-Man couldn't be happy at all!
Mark had inherited his [ Viltrum DNA ]!
This was an incredible thing!
It proved that the Viltrum bloodline could be continued through this Planet!
Thinking of his compatriots scattered across the Universe, numbering fewer than fifty!
Omni-Man Nolan seemed to understand something!
All his previous doubts were answered!
He finally understood why that [ Viltrum Prince ] had been angry with him!
Why he was genuinely acting as a Superhero on this Planet!
He was truly protecting humanity!
Because these humans could bear offspring for him!
Viltrum descendants with royal blood—everything was for the sake of rebuilding the empire!
In one hundred or one thousand years, this place would eventually become a second Viltrum!
Pity his own shortsightedness, only realizing his good intentions until now!
No wonder... he disguised himself as a student to make contact with Mark...
And was willing to patiently teach Nolan's son...
So it turned out all of this was within his expectations...
Thinking of this... Omni-Man Nolan took a deep breath, feeling sincere admiration for Su Ye's far-sightedness.
Deserving of being a descendant of the royal family... possessing both wisdom and strength...
Perhaps... he should reveal his identity and have a good chat with this [ Viltrum Prince ]!
In the capacity of a Viltrum warrior, help Your Highness conquer this Planet!
[ Ding—! ]

Chapter 48: Cultivating Senzu Beans! Su Ye's Absurd Plan!
After returning to Dr. Cho's apartment, Su Ye received a reward from the system.
Just as he had anticipated...
The two options provided by the system were merely a reference.
There were many hidden options that he needed to explore himself.
As encouragement for the master, the system would grant all the rewards!
Inside the bedroom...
Su Ye sat on the edge of the bed...
Orange holy light gathered in his palm, transforming into a seed the size of a soybean.
This wrinkled seed looked like a roasted soybean, with nothing extraordinary about it.
"What is this?"
Dr. Cho asked, lying beside Su Ye with a hoarse voice.
"A Senzu Bean seed."
Su Ye said with a look of longing, his gaze shifting to the greenery in Dr. Cho's bedroom.
That was a round cactus...
To be precise...
It was a plastic cactus...
Who would have thought that even Dr. Cho could fall for such a scam of using plastic to pass for the real thing!
Su Ye walked forward, pulled out the plastic cactus, and casually placed it on the computer desk.
Under Dr. Cho's puzzled gaze, he buried the [Senzu Bean seed] inside.
Next...
Su Ye activated Time Magic again, rotating his palm clockwise.
If rotating counter-clockwise meant time reversal!
Then rotating clockwise must be time acceleration!
Su Ye was convinced of this!
Soon...
The seed buried in the flower pot began to sprout and grow rapidly.
In no time, it grew into a pot of lush green plant.
It was hanging with seven green bean pods that resembled edamame.
It was just that these pods didn't look full.
There was only one bean inside each.
Su Ye raised his hand, plucked a pod, roughly peeled it open, and took out the bean inside.
The moment it touched the air, the bean quickly dried up, turning into the appearance of the previous seed.
Su Ye played with the seed in his hand, and a bold idea emerged.
If he used this bean as a new seed, could he achieve an increase in production?
As everyone knows...
The greatest function of a Senzu Bean is to heal wounds and restore the body to its prime state.
If used on ordinary people, the miraculous effect of the Senzu Bean would stop there.
But in the vast Universe, there are always some extraordinary and magical creatures!
For example, a warrior race like the Saiyans!
Every time they recover from a serious injury, their strength skyrockets!
Although this magical race does not exist in the U.S. comic Universe!
However!
They are not the only race with this characteristic!
The Viltrumites also possess a similar ability!
Those things that cannot kill me are destined to make me stronger!
They are also a natural warrior race!
By utilizing the special mechanism of the [Senzu Bean]!
He could make this group of [Viltrumites] even more powerful!
So...
The question arises...
What method should Su Ye use to subdue this group of natural powerhouses?
Thinking of this...
Su Ye glanced at the [Viltrum Emperor Armor] in the system space.
An absurd and very bold idea quietly sprouted in his heart.
How about...
Faking an identity as a [Viltrum Prince] and trying to recruit them?
If it went smoothly, he would have a [Planet-Busting] guard!
Perhaps...
He should talk to Nolan first...
And try to see if he could trick him...
...
Su Ye's thoughts were interrupted by an exclamation.
"Good heavens..."
"Is this... magic?"
Dr. Cho covered her mouth in surprise; she had originally wanted to complain about Su Ye ruining her cactus potted plant.
But she never expected...
That Su Ye would use magic right in front of her!
Turning a seed into a new plant!
"Helen, does it still hurt?"
Su Ye turned to look at Dr. Cho and asked in a gentle voice.
"What do you think!"
Dr. Cho's face burned red, and she glared at Su Ye in embarrassment and annoyance.
"Eat this."
Su Ye flicked his finger, tossing the Senzu Bean in his hand to Dr. Cho.
"If I eat this, I won't get poisoned, right?"
Dr. Cho caught the Senzu Bean, a look of suspicion appearing on her face.
This was a product of magic!
"No, the Senzu Bean will only heal your body."
Su Ye shook his head, wearing an expectant expression.
"Alright."
Dr. Cho hardened her heart and put the Senzu Bean into her mouth.
Crunch—!
A crisp sound of biting echoed, like eating tasteless roasted beans.
Then...
Dr. Cho, who had struggled just to get out of bed, sat straight up.
"How strange..."
"My body suddenly doesn't hurt anymore..."
"I feel like I have endless energy!"
Dr. Cho walked off the bed in surprise and gave Su Ye a warm hug.
"This is the effect of the [Senzu Bean]."
"magic, isn't it amazing?"
Su Ye joked from the side, a bit of heat rising in his heart as well.
Dr. Cho was still too traditional, not as bold as the younger ones.
Zoe was better...
It was just that her stamina was too poor...
Now with the Senzu Bean, the problem of insufficient stamina could finally be solved!
Thinking about it...
The Senzu Bean was really good stuff!
He had to grow more of this!
...
After deciding to expand production, Su Ye immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Zoe.
He asked Zoe to buy some more flower pots at the mall when she came over.
Yes...
Su Ye didn't want to tell anyone else about the [Senzu Bean].
The only people he could trust right now were his girlfriends.
Ten minutes later...
Zoe, wearing her alien armor, came to Dr. Cho's apartment holding a dozen plastic flower pots stacked together.
The moment Dr. Cho opened the door, she and Zoe froze at the same time.
"Uh..."
"Should I call you Professor, or Sister Helen now?"
The quirky Zoe was the first to react and asked awkwardly.
She had never thought about monopolizing a person like Su Ye from the beginning.
So she had long been prepared and wouldn't lose her temper over such things.
It was just that...
What she didn't expect was...
Her future sister-in-arms used to be a Professor at her school?
The moment she saw Dr. Cho, she ultimately couldn't hold it together!
You have to know...
Zoe was an excellent student with good character and grades at school!
She often sought out Dr. Cho to ask for help with her studies in her spare time!
So...
Not only did they know each other...
But their relationship was actually quite good...
"Zoe, I..."
Dr. Cho was speechless for a moment after seeing Zoe.
A feeling of guilt welled up in her heart, making her face flush red.
Fortunately...
Zoe was alert enough; after sensing that the atmosphere had become strange, she immediately changed the subject.
"It's nothing, let's get to business first. By the way, why did you ask me to buy flower pots?"
"The clerk's look at me was so weird. He wouldn't be doing some side business on the sly, right! I'm stating in advance, we don't do illegal things!"
Zoe complained in confusion.
She looked at Su Ye inside the room, not forgetting to roll her eyes at him.
Running out to buy flower pots in the middle of the night, no matter how you look at it, it's very suspicious!
Su Ye walked over at this time and grabbed the flower pots from Zoe's arms.
"Stop talking nonsense, go outside and dig up some good soil. I'll show you something exciting later!"
He mischievously ruffled Zoe's hair, then said again.
"Tsk, you only know how to order people around..."
Zoe pouted indignantly, but she still obediently complied.
Her personality was like a cat's; she was interested in unknown things.
The exciting show Su Ye mentioned piqued her damned curiosity.
Putting feelings aside...
She really wanted to see...
The hidden alien armor cover her body once again.
Dr. Cho saw this scene, her eyes filled with excitement.
The nano-suit she designed for Su Ye was roughly based on this concept.
The alien armor on Zoe verified that her hypothesis was correct.
If she could study this set of alien armor, for her, this would be a huge opportunity!
Another ten minutes passed...
Zoe carried two bags of soil and flew back to Dr. Cho's apartment again...
Su Ye impatiently stepped forward, poured the soil into the flower pots...
And then planted six Senzu Beans into the pots respectively.
He activated Time Magic to accelerate the growth of the Senzu Beans.
Ten seconds passed...
One minute passed...
But the seeds buried in the soil remained motionless.
And with the acceleration of time, they gradually rotted.
It failed...
Su Ye's heart sank, and he turned to look at the vibrant Senzu Bean tree.
He used Time Magic once again to accelerate the growth process of that Senzu Bean tree.
Soon...
Seven green bean pods hung on the small branches.
This Senzu Bean tree possessed a certain unique attribute.
It could accelerate the growth process through Time Magic.
But the Senzu Beans it produced could not be used for expanding cultivation.
Su Ye could only ripen them in waves and pick them one by one.
He had to accumulate the quantity of Senzu Beans in this way.
After learning this truth, Su Ye was inevitably a little disappointed.
"So... you made me come over in the middle of the night just to watch you do magic tricks?"
Zoe put her hands on her hips, her eyes showing a bit of anger.
Seriously!
What on earth was she busy doing all night for!
To watch her senior's failed simulated farm experiment?
She must be crazy!
Instead of sleeping well, she ran here to be a little fool, being teased by someone!
Su Ye didn't answer.
He got up from the sofa, shouldered Zoe, and walked towards the bedroom!
"Wait! What are you doing! This is someone else's house!"
Zoe exclaimed, her petite body starting to struggle continuously.
"Didn't you want to watch an exciting show? You are an important guest on the show!"
Su Ye revealed a wicked smile, teasing the junior student he was carrying on his shoulder.
Daring to gossip about him, how unreasonable!
He must teach her a lesson!
"Huh—?"
Zoe let out an incredulous cry, also infuriated to the point of dizziness!
Why did the exciting show the senior mentioned require her to perform it herself!
Chapter 49: Nolan's Surrender? Hopelessly Loyal!
The next morning...
A spirited Zoe held the Senzu Bean sapling like a treasure.
After last night's fierce battle, she already knew the wonders of the Senzu Bean.
Such an important item had to be well protected.
Only Su Ye's Villa met this requirement.
On the eve of their departure...
Su Ye asked Dr. Cho if she wanted to leave with him.
But Dr. Cho refused with a smile; she couldn't leave just yet.
Her research with Dr. Betty was at a critical juncture.
Once they achieved phased results, she would head to New York to share the good news with Su Ye.
Just like that...
Su Ye and Zoe escorted the Senzu Bean tree back to the Villa.
They happened to see Little Wanda boarding the school bus with her little backpack.
The little one's distressed expression made Su Ye burst into laughter.
But soon...
Su Ye couldn't laugh anymore...
Because he saw Omni-Man actually showing up at his door...
He hovered in the air with a serious expression, clearly looking like he had come with ill intent.
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
Zoe took a step back, holding the Senzu Bean tree in her arms, and asked vigilantly.
She couldn't help with a battle of this level; she could only protect the Senzu Bean tree to prevent the fragile sapling from being destroyed by the aftermath of the fight.
"Who knows..."
Su Ye muttered quietly.
He stood in front of Zoe, already prepared for battle.
However...
What happened next made Su Ye's jaw drop.
After Nolan landed on the ground, he actually knelt on one knee before Su Ye.
He lowered his head humbly, one hand placed over his left chest, performing a special kind of etiquette.
"Viltrumite warrior: Nolan."
"Following the wisdom and power of the late Emperor, I am willing to serve Your Highness!"
Nolan said with a solemn expression; his serious look showed no sign of joking!
Su Ye stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
It wasn't until Zoe behind him poked his lower back.
"Hey, why are you spacing out!"
"Why does Omni-Man call you [Your Highness]!"
Zoe asked in a low voice, while also examining the appearance of the two.
Hmm...
Black hair...
Black eyes...
Both can fly...
Both were monsters with terrifyingly strong power!
Could it be that Su Ye, like Omni-Man, came from the same Planet?
Zoe frowned slightly; the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.
Su Ye didn't answer, just scrutinized Nolan...
From the start, Nolan had maintained his humble [kneeling] posture to prove his loyalty.
That's right...
He came from Viltrum!
A dictatorial Empire!
The subjects' worship of the Emperor was engraved in their bones!
They were educated from a young age to swear loyalty to the Emperor until death!
For the Emperor, they were willing to sacrifice their own lives!
The Emperor's command was above all else; those who defied it would be executed!
It was no exaggeration to say...
As long as it was a command issued by the Emperor, even if it meant killing their own family, they would execute it without hesitation!
Any hesitation, even for a split second!
Was a provocation against imperial power and must be punished with execution!
[Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty!]
This phrase...
Was like a mental imprint, embedded in the brains of all Viltrumites!
Sadly, Nolan was one of them, and a fanatical supporter at that!
And because of this...
He was revered as...
The Great Nolan...
...
Looking at the kneeling Omni-Man, Su Ye only felt it was pathetic.
At this moment, Nolan no longer intended to maintain his hero persona.
Having shed all his disguises, he turned back into the cruel butcher of the past.
Even on this Planet, after decades, nothing had been able to completely reform him.
His thousands of years of persona were simply too pathetic, so pitiful it made one want to laugh.
Su Ye wanted to test him, so he said with a feigned flippancy.
"So, you will execute every mission I issue, right?"
As the words fell.
Su Ye raised his hand to signal Zoe to step back, and he walked in front of Omni-Man.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Omni-Man Nolan said respectfully, his eyes filled with determination.
He even felt deeply guilty for his twenty years of indulging in comfort.
He had been too obsessed with the warm times spent with his family.
He had almost forgotten the mission he carried on his shoulders!
To conquer this Planet!
"Get up."
Su Ye issued the command, signaling for Nolan to rise.
Nolan executed it quickly, as precise as a machine.
"If my first command is to kill your family."
"Would you do it?"
Su Ye stood in front of Nolan, looking down at this Viltrumite.
Standing over two meters tall, Su Ye was a full head taller than Nolan.
He stood before Nolan, exuding a powerful pressure that was enough to suffocate the other party.
Viltrumites worshipped the strong; their twisted personality of admiring strength was formed from birth.
Even Nolan, or other Viltrumite warriors, possessed this psychology of admiring strength.
So...
The more Su Ye displayed his powerful side, the more Nolan believed in his own judgment.
Because only Viltrumites, only the Viltrumite royal family, possessed such strength.
Su Ye must be a Viltrumite, could only be a Viltrumite, and must be a Viltrumite Prince!
He would become the next Emperor, leading the remaining Viltrumites to create glory once again!
As a Viltrumite warrior, Nolan had to support him!
"I would..."
Nolan answered with a trembling voice, without any hesitation.
He had already made his choice when he came over.
Even if Your Highness asked him to kill his family, he would do it!
For the revival of the Empire!
He would proceed without hesitation!
Nolan's answer deeply shocked Su Ye.
Su Ye's facial muscles twitched slightly; he was frantically suppressing the rage in his heart!
Even a dog, having accompanied him for over twenty years—on the day it died of old age, Su Ye would feel sad.
What had accompanied Nolan for over twenty years was a person!
A wife he had been inseparable and loving with for over twenty years!
And Mark, that was the son Nolan was proud of!
Yet this guy...
Was actually willing to kill his own family with his own hands because of a stupid command issued by a stranger!
He didn't even hesitate!
It was as simple as drinking Water!
Perhaps he was angered by Nolan, or perhaps he was simply annoyed.
Su Ye immersed himself in the identity of the [Viltrumite Prince].
"Nolan, I truly regret..."
"Not stepping forward to lead you all after the late Emperor was assassinated."
He said with a sigh, and raised his strong, powerful hand, gently placing it on Nolan's shoulder.
"You need not feel that way, Your Highness."
"Under your leadership, the Empire will eventually rise again."
Nolan answered affectionately; for the sake of the Empire, he was willing to offer everything he had.
However...
The palm Su Ye had placed on Nolan's shoulder began to move.
It didn't stop until it was clamped around Nolan's neck.
Su Ye ignored Nolan's flattery and continued.
"Instead of following the orders of Grand Regent Thragg..."
"Conducting that bullshit survival of the fittest..."
"Killing each other among our own kind..."
Su Ye said in a low voice; by the end, his lips were trembling with anger.
Billions of Viltrumites, because of mutual slaughter, were reduced to only a few dozen.
[The guys who researched the scourge virus were also Viltrumites, which also counts as mutual slaughter.]
Those corpses could not even be destroyed by cosmic rays, so they circled the periphery of the Planet.
Forming a ring!
A ring formed by the corpses of Viltrumites!
Even Satan in hell, seeing this scene, would scream in terror!
Because it would see the true devil!
"What?"
Nolan showed a bewildered expression, asking with emboldened curiosity.
He had already heard that the tone in Su Ye's words seemed a bit off.
"You are truly fucking... disappointing!"
Su Ye scolded through gritted teeth, his face full of disgust for Nolan.
The hand clamped around Nolan's neck tightened instantly!
Before Nolan could resist, he took him and shot into the sky!
Disappearing from the street at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
"Tsk tsk..."
"Looks like someone is about to have a bad time..."
Zoe shuddered, saying with lingering fear.
Having known Su Ye for so long, this was the first time she had seen her senior so furious.
This former strongest Superhero in the World was likely going to get a beating.
Chapter 50: The Second Empire! Think! Nolan! Think!
At an altitude of over ten thousand meters...
Su Ye carried Omni-Man Nolan, flying at several hundred times the speed of sound toward the other side of the Planet!
He transformed into a brilliant Fire meteor in the high altitude.
Carrying Nolan, he crashed into a large glacier in the Antarctic.
This super-large glacier collapsed by half in an instant.
The system's golden screen also lit up at this moment.
...
[ Ding — —! ]
[ Omni-Man detected, currently at an important turning point in his life! ]
[ Your subsequent actions will affect Omni-Man's life! ]
[ Choice One: Teach Omni-Man a lesson, obtain: Viltrum Royal Bloodline! ]
[ Choice Two: Indulge Omni-Man, obtain: Grand Regent template! ]
...
Su Ye glanced at it, already having a decision in his heart.
Even without the system rewards, he would still do what he wanted to do!
" Cough! "
Nolan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror.
Only by personally confronting Su Ye could one feel his horror!
That kind of absolute crushing strength was enough to destroy an opponent's courage!
That was power so great it was despair-inducing!
Even for Nolan, it was unprecedented!
His pride as a Viltrum warrior was shattered in an instant!
The instinctual fear of death from his bloodline drove him to want to escape!
But...
Before Nolan could take action, Su Ye's iron fist had already smashed into his face!
Crack — —!
A crisp sound of bones cracking came from his head, directly causing Nolan to give up resistance.
It's useless...
In front of this Your Highness, all resistance was meaningless!
He was too powerful...
More powerful than any emperor that had ever existed in Viltrum history!
He symbolized the absolute majesty of the Empire; Nolan couldn't even fight back!
" I really can't believe it! "
" You are actually willing to kill your family for the Empire! "
" What benefits has the Empire actually given you! Nolan! "
Su Ye roared loudly at Nolan, who was lying on the ground.
" Do not... insult... "
" The Empire... "
Nolan fought through the dizziness, his voice trembling as he retorted.
His loyalty to the Empire had reached a hopeless level!
Hearing Nolan's words, the anger in Su Ye's heart could no longer be suppressed.
" The Empire? "
" An empire with only a few dozen people left? "
" An eighteenth birthday gift that is being nearly beaten to death by your parents? "
" Because you answered a question wrong, you have to crush a child's skull? "
" An empire without a shred of humanity is better off destroyed! "
Su Ye roared angrily.
His clenched fists fell again and again, beating Nolan until his skin was torn and flesh was mangled.
The blood splashing all around, mixed with minced flesh, stained Su Ye's clothes.
If not for the fact that Su Ye was still maintaining his sanity...
And constantly restraining the force of every punch...
This feeling was like dancing with an ant...
Otherwise, Nolan would have died from the very first punch he landed!
But even so, Nolan was still beaten into a near-death state!
Looking at Nolan, who could no longer retort, Su Ye wore a look of disdain.
" Think! Nolan! Think! "
Su Ye squatted in front of Nolan, raising his blood-stained hands and pointing to his own temple.
" You have survived for thousands of years, witnessing the destruction of countless stars! "
" In this life spanning thousands of years, besides the damn Empire! "
" Is there nothing worth cherishing? "
Su Ye suppressed his anger, earnestly trying to persuade him.
Nolan opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Being near death, his consciousness was gradually blurring.
His life of thousands of years flashed through his mind like a white horse passing a crevice.
These memories were so similar...
Killing, destruction, and conquest...
His clansmen called him: Great Nolan.
But he could not feel the slightest bit of happiness.
The iron law of survival of the fittest had long been engraved into his genes.
Things like emotions would only affect the speed of his punches.
Until...
He descended upon this blue Planet...
Met his current wife, Debbie...
Only then did his originally dim life have a distinct color.
Thousands of years of memories passed in an instant.
Twenty years of memories were unforgettable.
The dying Nolan recalled every moment spent with his family!
He had to admit that compared to the Empire, these memories were more important!
" Family... "
" I still have... family... "
Nolan murmured hoarsely, his voice as faint as a mosquito's, yet it contained an unprecedented desire!
He began to regret it...
Usually at this time, he would be sitting at the dining table, enjoying breakfast with his family.
This daily routine that had lasted for twenty years, now looking back, was so luxurious.
He missed his wife...
Missed his son...
Compared to the ethereal ideal of reviving the Empire, family was more worth protecting.
Nolan cried...
Tears of regret and guilt, mixed with blood, slid down his mangled cheeks.
He simply couldn't believe that he had actually thought of killing his wife and child just to prove his loyalty!
Su Ye watched silently...
The moment Nolan mentioned his family, he showed a smile of relief.
That's right...
Only when people are about to die do they realize what they really want.
Nolan at this moment was the best example.
The will supporting him to live on was not the glory of the Empire, but the desire to return to his family!
Such a loyal and affectionate subordinate was more worth recruiting.
" If you had thought this way earlier, you wouldn't have had to endure a beating. "
" Eat it, that is an order. "
Su Ye sighed, rummaged out a Senzu Bean from his pocket, and shoved it directly into Nolan's mouth.
It's funny to say...
The Senzu Bean is clearly so powerful, yet he hasn't eaten one to this day.
Because he has infinite energy in his body, always at his peak.
Su Ye doesn't eat Senzu Beans not because they taste bad, but because he simply doesn't need them!
He doesn't know what fatigue is...
Sleeping is just a habit...
In this Universe, no weapon can cause harm to Su Ye.
Su Ye, in [ Sentinel Form ], doesn't even know what pain is.
He is like living in a paper-mache Universe, never daring to use even a little bit of force!
No opponent can withstand his serious punch, even a God!
Therefore...
The day he conquers Viltrum in the future...
He will use this precious treasure as a reward.
To let Viltrum warriors grow into even more powerful super soldiers.
In a daze...
Nolan instinctively swallowed the Senzu Bean...
Almost the next instant, all the wounds on his body were restored to their original state!
Even his hazy consciousness became exceptionally clear, returning to his peak state once again!
" This is...? "
Nolan stood up from the ground, looking at his body in shock.
The moment his body was healed, he became even stronger!
Now, he could even easily kill his past self!
" There are many magical things in the Universe. "
" Including magic. "
" This is called: Senzu Bean. "
" As long as there is one breath left, it can heal all injuries. "
Su Ye took out another one from his pocket and flicked it toward Nolan's position.
As long as the Senzu Bean tree is still there, he can produce more Senzu Beans indefinitely.
The consumption of a mere one or two is nothing to him.
Nolan hurriedly reached out to catch it, fearing to miss this favor from the prince.
At the same time...
He was full of confusion...
The Your Highness who wanted to kill him just a moment ago...
Why was he suddenly so friendly to him again...
Was it because of what he said or what he did?
Nolan thought blankly, but didn't dare to ask at all.
Having seen this Your Highness's terrifying strength, Nolan didn't dare to act presumptuously at all!
In his heart, there was only awe, and gratitude for sparing his life!
Nolan's change in expression did not escape Su Ye's eyes.
Su Ye smiled slightly, then extended a palm toward Nolan.
" Nolan... "
" The current Viltrum Empire is walking on a wrong path. "
" They are courting their own destruction and will sooner or later vanish into cosmic dust. "
" I want to change all of this, starting from Zero, and create a Second Empire. "
" Are you willing to assist me in walking down another path that has never been imagined? "
Su Ye's voice was very gentle, yet it carried an affinity that made it impossible to refuse.
" This is my honor, Your Highness! "
Nolan didn't dare to touch Su Ye's palm.
He knelt on one knee once again, paying high respect to this Viltrum prince!
