A few minutes earlier, in the Harlem district of New York City, a colossal monster with a yellowish-brown skin suddenly appeared.
The monster was over two meters tall, its entire body composed of muscle and bone, with its chest resembling a skeletal ribcage. Rows of bones protruded from its back, like fins.
It was wreaking havoc on the streets, cars were like toys in its hands, easily tossed aside...
"Calling officer, something just charged into the street!"
On the plane, General Ross was celebrating being able to easily capture Dr. Banner, when the soldier in front of him, wearing a headset, turned around and said, "General, there's a new situation you absolutely must hear about."
General Ross didn't think much of it, walked over, and picked up the phone. He heard the roar of cars and an anxious soldier's voice from the other end.
"The Hulk is on the street! Repeat, the Hulk is on the street!"
After hearing the soldier's report, General Ross looked puzzled and turned to Bruce Banner, who was sitting perfectly fine on the plane. How could there be another Hulk on the ground?
"Impossible, calm down, soldier, where are you now?"
General Ross questioned the person on the other end.
"121st Street, heading north along Broadway!"
Listening to the soldier's report, General Ross ordered the plane pilot to turn around and instructed the soldier on the phone, "Send over the live situation."
"Why are we turning around?" Bruce Banner asked his girlfriend, somewhat puzzled...
At this moment, the soldiers on the ground finally caught up to the giant monster and found it wreaking havoc on the street, surrounded by panicked citizens running for their lives. Explosions, screams, and car alarms blended into a cacophony that filled the entire street.
Everyone on the plane looked at the images transmitted from below, their faces filled with surprise.
"Is this also a product of your military experiments?" Banner looked at General Ross with disdain.
"My God, what have you done!" Ross's daughter, Betty, even more directly accused General Ross with an incredulous expression.
General Ross was also completely bewildered. How was he supposed to know where such an ugly monster would suddenly appear, not only incredibly strong but also running straight for crowded areas to cause widespread destruction?
The police below fired wildly at the monster with their pistols, but the bullets were like tickles to the monster, leaving no marks on its body. Instead, the angry monster swatted the police away, leaving some dead and others maimed.
Watching the fate of those police officers, the two soldiers couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Do you think rifles will work on it?"
"Come on, get the big guns!"
A soldier pulled out an RPG from the vehicle and fired it at the yellowish-brown monster. The missile, with a whooshing sound, quickly sped towards the monster, but the monster turned and caught it.
The violent explosion only caused a small flicker of flame on its body, doing no harm whatsoever, but it did attract its attention!
"Run!"
The soldiers frantically backed up their vehicle, trying to retreat, but the monster had its sights on them and pursued them relentlessly. Anything that blocked the monster's path was casually tossed aside.
Ultimately, the soldiers' vehicle couldn't escape and was cornered in a spot where it couldn't retreat. The monster ran directly in front of them, lifted its foot to stop a car charging at it, and effortlessly lifted the car with both hands, smashing it down hard on them.
On the plane, watching the broadcast screen turn to static, everyone fell into a long silence...
The Abomination looked at the tiny humans who dared to attack him, now crushed to death by his own hands, and let out a roar to the sky!
"Give me someone who can fight..."
Suddenly, a figure in casual clothes appeared in front of him, he didn't know when.
And in his hand, he held a string of something, though a fragrant aroma could be smelled from afar. From his posture, it seemed he was about to put that string of things into his mouth.
The Abomination, whose grand entrance was interrupted, was furious. He clenched his fist and slammed it towards the tiny figure, determined to smash that person into a pulp to vent his anger.
At this moment, as Li Yue opened his eyes, he saw a large, yellowish-brown fist smashing towards him. He hastily dropped the skewer he was holding in his right hand, and his right palm quickly transformed, eventually becoming a silver-white circular shield—yes, the same type of shield as Captain America's.
Bang!!!
The fist landed on the shield, emitting a deafening roar. An invisible shockwave, like a fierce wind, surged outwards, knocking away some already damaged vehicles.
The yellow giant didn't take a single step back. On the contrary, Li Yue was thrown back several meters by the immense force, with two long, clear scratch marks visible on the ground. (The material Li Yue transmuted was Adamantium; if it were Captain America's shield, it wouldn't be like this! Captain America's shield can absorb kinetic energy!)
"Holy crap, that's some serious strength!" Li Yue retracted his right hand, which had transformed into a shield, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its normal arm shape. The skin on his body also changed from rock-like to normal human skin.
"Insignificant human, you've angered me! I'll tear you to shreds!"
The Abomination, however, was not satisfied with this outcome. He clenched his fists and charged towards Li Yue, who had already returned to his normal human form.
Li Yue, however, no longer met his fists head-on. Earlier, he had just transmigrated, his mind was not yet stable, and he couldn't accurately detect his surroundings, so he could only take the attacks head-on. Now, he wouldn't be so foolish as to engage in a direct confrontation.
Just as his fist was about to strike Li Yue's body, the Abomination was horrified to find Li Yue suddenly vanish from his sight. Before he could react, a piercing pain shot through his back—this was the first time he had felt pain in this state.
Li Yue, abandoning the idea of a head-on clash, used his superpower to appear less than dozens of centimeters behind the Abomination. His right palm transformed, his five fingers becoming blade-like claws similar to Wolverine's. He swung them fiercely at the Abomination's back, leaving five deep wounds, from which a yellowish-brown liquid slowly oozed out, looking utterly disgusting.
The Abomination, a seasoned soldier in his previous life, instinctively swung his fist behind him when attacked from the back. However, he missed, and another sharp pain shot through his back.
What followed was the Abomination being brutally beaten. He couldn't see Li Yue's figure at all, and the damage to his back grew increasingly severe. The pain made him roar uncontrollably.
The Abomination came up with a plan: he sprinted towards a building, then leaned his back against the wall and looked forward. Li Yue's figure finally appeared before the Abomination, but he did not attack again.
At this moment, the Abomination's back was a bloody mess, and the fin-like spine was no longer recognizable. However, the Abomination was indeed the Abomination; despite such severe injuries, he was still full of vigor.
"Do you dare to face me head-on, without sneak attacking from behind!" The Abomination, leaning against the wall, shouted at Li Yue.
"Come on, who's afraid of who!" Li Yue's right hand reverted to its normal palm shape, while his left hand transformed into a circular shield, adopting a stance as if waiting for the Abomination to attack.
Seeing Li Yue like this, the Abomination also clenched his right fist, exerting his maximum strength, and charged forward. He intended to kill the human who had harmed him with a single punch.
Li Yue, of course, wouldn't be so foolish. Just as the Abomination's right fist was about to smash into his shield, he instantly vanished, reappearing beside the Abomination's right arm, mid-air. Li Yue joined his hands, raised them above his head, and his arms visibly transformed into a silver-white longsword, three centimeters wide and nearly four feet long. Using the momentum of his descent, he fiercely brought it down on the Abomination's right hand.
A silver flash appeared, and half of the Abomination's arm slammed heavily onto the ground. A few seconds later...
Pfft!
A stream of yellow liquid gushed from the severed limb, spraying several meters.
Aow!!!
A tremendous roar, almost shattering the surrounding glass.
Normally, Li Yue should have been happy to inflict such damage on the Abomination, but his heart was now filled with immense dread.
Because he discovered that his body actually had a tendency to evolve into something like the Abomination.
"I don't want to become so ugly!!!"
