Chapter 178 - The Scarlet Threat

The moment the battle erupted, the air hissed as if being torn apart. HYDRA's tanks rumbled forward, their black hulls gleaming metallic under the sun. The vehicles were mounted with weapons that shimmered with blue light, crystals of the Space Stone, emitting an unnatural energy fluctuation. Fighter jets overhead swooped low, spraying bullets like a metal storm. And the soldiers on the ground surged forward like a tide, their formations suffocatingly neat, rifles uniformly aimed at the solitary Dominic.

Dominic stood in the center of the battlefield, his body slightly leaning forward, like a Beast about to attack. Red light flickered in his eyes, and the aura around him seemed to compress the air, making it difficult to breathe. The first tank fired, a blue energy cannon blasting straight towards him. The air vibrated, and the energy tore through the dust, creating a searing trajectory.

In the instant the gunfire exploded, Dominic moved. He charged towards the tank with extraordinary speed, the ground beneath his feet cracking, sending gravel flying. His fist struck the side of the tank like thunder, and the entire vehicle let out a metallic shriek, flipping onto its side and erupting in thick black smoke. Then, he leaped up, swinging his arm violently. A fighter jet in front of him was torn apart like paper, its wreckage plummeting to the ground, causing a huge explosion.

The soldiers began to fire frantically, bullets and energy rays weaving a net of death. But Dominic was completely unfazed. All attacks aimed at him were either absorbed by his body or skillfully dodged. He grabbed a soldier and casually threw him. The soldier was hurled towards a distant armored vehicle, and upon Impact, the explosion was like blooming fireworks.

In the distance, Arnim Zola's mechanical body stood on a temporary command platform, his gaze fixed on the battlefield. His screen face flickered with excitement, and his mechanical voice held a hint of madness: "Oh, my god, this power... it's the perfect experimental specimen! We must obtain his genetic sample and turn him into HYDRA's ultimate weapon!"

Meanwhile, next to the data, information had been read from the escaping group led by Deadpool. Their names were obtained.

Mechanical soldiers joined the battlefield. Their bodies shimmered with the blue light of the Space Stone, and every energy-driven step caused the ground to tremble slightly. Their movements were precise and swift, their arms transforming into various weapons, spewing a tide of energy cannon fire, surrounding Dominic.

Dominic stood in the center of the blue light, raising his head slightly, a hint of disdainful smile on his lips. The red light in his eyes flared, and two searing beams shot out, cutting the two closest mechanical soldiers in half. Then, his figure blurred into a trailing afterimage, weaving among the mechanical soldiers. He shattered the core device of one machine with a punch, and kicked off the head of another with a kick. The entire process was as fluid as a choreographed dance.

HYDRA's soldiers began to panic. Their weapons, though powerful, seemed powerless before Dominic. The energy cannons fired by the tanks were even caught by his bare hands before they touched him, and he threw them back at another tank, causing a chain reaction of explosions.

Arnim Zola's mechanical body was so excited it almost jumped. His mechanical arms directed the remaining troops: "Concentrate all energy fire! Strike him with the highest power of the Space Stone! I want to see his limit!"

Fighter jets in the sky simultaneously targeted Dominic. Blue energy beams wove into a net of destruction, bombarding him from all directions. Dominic stood firm, his eyes once again bursting with searing red light. A distorted energy barrier formed around his body, and all attacks turned into dazzling sparks the moment they touched him. He stepped forward, each step like an announcement of his unstoppable nature.

"Is this all you've got?" His voice pierced through the roar of explosions, coldly reaching everyone's ears. Then, he leaped up, soaring towards the sky, destroying two fighter jets in succession. His figure spun down from the air, slamming heavily onto the ground, shattering the surrounding armored vehicles and mechanical soldiers.

An absolute Rolling (overwhelming victory), a victory without suspense. And HYDRA's soldiers, at this moment, finally began to scatter and flee.

The rout of the HYDRA soldiers was too abnormal. Dominic frowned slightly. He watched the scattering figures, a cold smile on his face: "HYDRA running away? I don't believe it." Just then, the ground in the distance began to tremble. A low mechanical roar approached from afar, mixed with the low hum of high-energy operation.

From the other end of the horizon, a unit of giant mechs gradually appeared. They were tall, menacing, covered in deep black metallic hulls. Each mech's chest was embedded with a crystal that shimmered with a faint blue light - the energy core of the Space Stone. That light distorted the air, releasing strange energy fluctuations, seemingly impenetrable even to sunlight.

Each mech's arms were modified into energy cannons, their muzzles emitting a blue halo, indicating they could spew world-destroying power at any moment. The shoulder weapon modules carried multiple missile systems, precise, deadly, and even equipped with anti-gravity propulsion devices, allowing these mechs to glide at high speed on the ground, like mobile fortresses.

The leading mech stopped, and the Space Stone in its chest began to flash with an even more dazzling light. A steady and cold mechanical voice sounded: "Target locked, Dominic. Execute complete annihilation."

Dominic looked around. The mech unit had surrounded him. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a scornful smile: "So that's it... letting the small fries run away just for these big guys to show up? Looks like you do have some brains."

The leading mech let out a low energy charging sound, and a blue energy beam shot out first, heading straight for Dominic's chest. Dominic dodged sideways, the beam grazing his shoulder and hitting the ground. The shockwave from the explosion kicked up a cloud of dust.

"Nice toys." Dominic sneered, slamming his foot down. The ground instantly cracked, and his figure shot towards the leading mech with an uncatchable speed. His fist, carrying a terrifying wind pressure, heavily struck the mech's chest. The shield of the Space Stone core instantly shattered, and the mech was sent flying back, crashing through two armored vehicles before stopping.

The remaining mechs immediately entered combat mode. Energy cannon fire from all directions surged towards Dominic like a tide. Each blue beam was capable of tearing steel, but before Dominic, these attacks seemed precisely calculated. Every move he made perfectly avoided a fatal blow.

One mech suddenly lifted off, its shoulder missile bays opening simultaneously. Dozens of tracking missiles, spewing blue flames, whizzed towards Dominic. Dominic leaped up, his heat rays bursting with scorching light from his eyes, precisely hitting the missiles in mid-air. Fire exploded, and fragments rained down. His figure followed closely, instantly appearing before that mech. He kicked its propulsion device, sending it crashing from the air into the ground, leaving a deep crater.

"Is this all you're capable of?" Dominic stood at the edge of the crater, his gaze cold.

The other mechs no longer hesitated and activated the high-energy mode of the Space Stone. Each mech's energy core emitted a piercing hum, and the blue light condensed into a massive energy field, enveloping Dominic. The energy field began to contract, attempting to completely trap and crush him.

Dominic was surrounded in the center. He clenched his fists, the air around him becoming violent, and the ground beneath his feet began to crack. He murmured: "Had enough fun, time to end this."

His body suddenly erupted in dazzling red light. Searing heat rays poured from his eyes, precisely piercing the cores of three mechs. The massive energy reaction triggered chain explosions. The shockwave of the explosions swept across the battlefield, flipping the remaining mechs onto the ground. Dominic's figure flickered in the fire and smoke, like a Destroyer descended upon the world.

The remaining few mechs attempted to regain their footing, but Dominic gave them no chance. He charged towards the nearest mech, plunged his hands into its chest armor, and with a forceful pull, directly yanked out the Space Stone core along with the internal energy device. The mech lost its power supply and crashed to the ground.

Arnim Zola watched all of this through remote monitoring. An expression of disbelief appeared on his screen face: "Incredible... This isn't just destruction, this is... power that completely surpasses any technology!" His mechanical voice trembled, "Continue attacking! Don't stop!"

But the mech unit was already in disarray. They faced a being beyond logic. Only Dominic remained on the battlefield, alone, standing in the center of the burning ruins, the red light in his eyes still undiminished.

The dim light of the sewers was occasionally illuminated by flickering combat sparks. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder. Eddie leaned against the wall, panting. Venom's grotesque mouth peeked out from his shoulder, licking the air: "These soldiers taste very bland, next time get something spicy."

"Spicy? Do you want to eat their stomachs or their insides?" Deadpool said, using the tip of his knife to pick at armor fragments, clicking his tongue in admiration, "Oh, I get it! Grandpa Venom might have a weird sense of gourmet, just like me eating burritos. Next time I'll bring you some salsa!"

"Shut up." Logan snorted coldly, his steel claws still dripping with the blood of HYDRA soldiers. His gaze swept coldly over Deadpool, "If you say one more word, I'll stick this knife in your mouth."

"Stick it in my mouth? Wow, that sounds like an adult warning." Deadpool shrugged, his mask covering his expression, but his mocking tone was practically overflowing.

"Enough." Eddie interrupted, wiping the sweat from his face, "What do we do now?"

"Do what?" Deadpool chimed in proudly, just about to continue his chatter, when a low and cold voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Hand over America." Wanda stepped out of the shadows, scarlet energy flickering at her fingertips, like flames waiting for a command. She wore a tattered scarlet robe, her bare feet stepping on the damp ground, each step radiating pressure.

"I only want her, you can leave."

The entire passage instantly fell silent, the air seemingly frozen.

America instinctively took a step back, but Deadpool was the first to break the silence. He held up his hands, his tone carrying his usual humor: "Wow, this scene is good, it's like a trailer for 'Scarlet Witch 3: Sewer Slaughter'. I can leave, but she's our VIP pass. By VIP I mean Very Important Pipsqueak, got it?"

"Shut up." Wanda glanced coldly at Deadpool, her tone even colder, "I don't have time to waste with you. Hand her over, or you won't have a choice."

Logan tightened his steel claws, his gaze meeting Wanda's coldly: "You can try."

Eddie gritted his teeth and whispered: "Venom, this woman looks trouble."

Venom chuckled and whispered: "Her? I can swallow her whole. Her feet look quite tempting... No, I mean she's no threat."

Wanda's eyes gradually became dangerous, and scarlet energy rapidly spread around her.

She repeated in a low voice: "Hand over America."
