A tremendous roar suddenly echoed from within the Mountain Top Base.
Immediately after, a dazzling golden stream of light pierced through the darkness from below, ascending upwards.
Like a rising Sun, it shot straight into the sky.
Even from a great distance,
Lao Mo, the Commander, and others below could still faintly discern a towering figure, like a God, within that shimmering golden glow.
However,
to them,
the figure resembled the God of Death coming to claim lives!
Because that golden stream of light only lingered in the air for a few breaths before abruptly changing direction.
Like a comet colliding with Earth, it dragged a long fiery tail and heavily crashed into the area where the HYDRA team was located!
Rumble…!!!
Karl made what he considered a perfectly standard superhero landing.
He directly created a massive crater, tens of meters in diameter, in the ground.
The terrifying roar, accompanied by a hurricane-like surge of turbulent air,
instantly swept away many Hydra Soldiers who had no time to find cover, flinging them far away.
"Considering you've traveled thousands of miles to offer yourselves up, if anyone is willing to lay down their weapons and surrender now, I can offer them an opportunity for promotion and a raise…"
Karl's tall figure slowly floated out of the large crater.
His eyes emanated a golden light, like the Sun, too bright to look at directly.
He looked like a divine and powerful God on Earth!
"Damn it… How is this monster so powerful?"
Commander Lao Mo's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with inexplicable shock.
As the Commander of this operation, he had already reviewed combat videos of Karl slaughtering soldiers within the Base before setting out.
However, he had been quite dismissive of them.
Because in his opinion, Karl's fighting style in the videos was completely unorganized.
He relied almost entirely on his superpowers to randomly attack and crash.
Compared to the super-powered individuals from Vought Group he had previously eliminated,
Karl was clearly an amateur.
What was there to fear from such trash, even if he possessed superpowers?!
However…
Now that he truly faced Karl directly,
he genuinely realized how terrifying the pressure emanating from this man was.
Both his control over his power and the composed demeanor on his face were completely different from the amateur in the videos!
How could this be the appearance of someone who had just gained superpowers?
This was clearly an old hand, wasn't it!!!
In comparison, the power displayed in the videos was merely the tip of the iceberg!
This was undoubtedly a very serious intelligence error!
Everyone, including Baron Strucker, had underestimated this man's potential.
Or rather…
Everyone had been deceived by this man!
Wait a minute?!
A terrifying possibility suddenly flashed through Commander Lao Mo's mind.
Could this guy have been deliberately faking it before?
His goal was to make us complacent, thereby wiping out the reinforcement troops in one fell swoop!
Hiss…
If that were truly the case, then this kid's cunning would be far too terrifying!
However, it was already too late to say anything now.
He didn't believe Karl would easily let them go.
Knowing that the order to capture him alive would likely not be fulfilled today, Commander Lao Mo's eyes flashed with determination.
He immediately steeled himself and decided to forcefully initiate the attack!
A soldier's duty is to execute orders.
Today…
Succeed or die trying.
"Hail HYDRA, open Fire!!!"
At Lao Mo's command, the remaining soldiers unleashed their full firepower.
Streams of energy, tranquilizer darts, and tractor beams, as if limitless, covered Karl's position.
"Tsk tsk… commendable courage, but your brains seem a bit dim."
Facing the attacks that intertwined like a rain curtain, Karl pursed his lips, uninterested.
Because in the past two days,
the cautious Karl, with the cooperation of soldiers, had conducted extremely comprehensive and detailed explorations of HYDRA's developed weapons and equipment, as well as his own power.
So, although it seemed like they were outnumbered, in reality… the advantage was with him!!!
Karl suddenly spread his arms, performing a standard Super Saiyan transformation pose.
Boom…!!!
Dazzling golden light shot into the sky, and a powerful energy flow, gushing forth, instantly dispersed all the incoming attacks.
Sizzle…!!!
Then, his eyes shot out two laser beams capable of melting steel.
They directly blew up the heads of several Hydra Soldiers who were unable to dodge.
Bang…!!!
Karl's arms stretched back fiercely.
And then, the moment his palms clapped together heavily in front of him,
the rampaging energy turbulence directly pulverized a four or five-meter-high boulder in the distance,
as well as two Hydra Soldiers hiding behind it, constantly ambushing with their [Anti-Gravity Guns].
"Damn it, this… How is this possible? Even energy weapons and force field weapons have no effect on him?"
At this moment, Commander Lao Mo's face was filled with fear and horror.
The [High-Frequency Energy Rifles] and [Pulse Blaster Cannons] that could penetrate the thickest tank armor,
and the tractor beams that could easily lift tanks weighing tens of tons,
all failed against this man in front of him.
What the hell was going on?!
However, Karl, on the opposite side, clearly did not give him much time to think.
A one-sided bloody Carnage had already begun…
And this battle unfolding at the foot of the mountain at this moment,
the entire process was captured by Pietro through his high-magnification ultra-low-light night vision device.
"This doesn't even need editing; even if I upload the video directly to the internet, it will instantly blow everyone's minds!"
Pietro muttered excitedly to himself:
"Sigh, I just wonder when I'll be able to become as powerful as Karl…"
...
…
In a secret Base deep in the western part of the [Greater Caucasus Mountains].
"What did you say… the entire team has lost contact??"
At the desk, Baron Strucker slowly put down the documents in his hand and cast a sharp gaze at his subordinate who had come to report.
He clearly expressed suspicion and anger at the latter's recent statement.
The latter quickly straightened his body and replied, trembling:
"That's right, Captain Boca's team unexpectedly lost communication shortly after arriving at the target location."
"As of now, 4 hours have passed, and communication still hasn't been restored…"
"Furthermore, due to widespread cloud cover in the area, the [Swarm Satellite] is temporarily unable to scout and identify the situation at the target location."
"But we will immediately… after the weather improves."
However,
before he could finish his sentence,
Baron Strucker on the opposite side directly waved his hand to interrupt:
"Don't bother, if I'm not mistaken, they've probably all been eliminated by Experiment Subject No. 380!!!"
