"Where is he?!"
Solus's scarlet eyes darted around erratically, attempting to capture the trajectory of Peter's movements. But the current Peter was simply too fast—so fast that even his naked eye fundamentally could not track him.
Boom!
Incredibly abruptly, a fist landed squarely on his cheek. The force carried by this single punch exceeded a hundred thousand tons. With just one strike, Solus was heavily sent flying outward, half of his face completely deformed by this terrifyingly monstrous power.
"Damned! Damned! Damned!" Solus screamed frantically, his face twisting completely into a distorted mess.
It wasn't merely due to the pain, but more because the exact instant he absorbed this punch, he perceived that the cosmic energy within his body—which had originally been suppressed dead-tight by him—actually generated an unprecedented, massive riot.
The cosmic energy within his form acted exactly as if it had received some sort of calling, violently resisting inside him, seemingly displaying a faint sign of breaking free from his body to leap into the embrace of Peter opposite him.
Solus extended a hand toward Peter, blasting out a purple cosmic energy cannon right as he raised his arm. He attempted to heavily injure Peter through this method, and also hoped to stabilize the cosmic energy inside his body once more through energy consumption.
Opposite him, Peter acted exactly as though he had similarly encountered a bug, unable to control his own body, actually taking the impact of this cannon blast head-on without dodging or evading.
Witnessing this scene, Solus couldn't help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise. He assumed Peter was just like him, likewise unable to harness this power, thereby experiencing a momentary loss of control.
In his heart, he secretly thought that even if he himself took a hit like that, it would still hurt for a good long while and require at least several seconds to recover; wasn't this precisely his opportunity?
But when he recklessly charged toward Peter, he was instantly dumbfounded. Because Peter, who had been struck dead-center by the energy cannon, not only was completely uninjured, but the stellar orbits across his body instead grew significantly brighter.
What did this symbolize? It was simply too obvious. His energy cannon assault just now hadn't harmed Peter at all, but had instead helped him top up his "cosmic energy"!
"Old man, you didn't genuinely believe I was injured just now, did you?" Peter looked down at Solus, an evil smile surfacing across his face as he said, "I was just... messing with you~."
Seeing Peter putting on this display of heavy mockery on top of enjoying the boost, Solus felt both furious and anxious in his heart.
But he understood even better that he couldn't let his stance fall into disarray right now; the more chaotic he became, the less capable he would be of controlling the cosmic energy within his body.
He let out a roar, raising his fist to smash toward Peter, attempting to knock Peter down with his terrifying physical strength, and also preparing to use this method to let the cosmic energy see clearly who was the stronger, more worthy entity to align with.
Yet, facing his assault, Peter merely raised his palm. Within his palm, a continuously spinning, translucent energy sphere vaguely surfaced.
"This move again?" A sliver of disdain flashed through Solus's eyes.
In his perception, while this kind of long-range attack could cause a momentary impact on him, it had to be sufficiently massive to matter.
An object this minuscule before his eyes was fundamentally not worth a single worry. Harboring this thought, Solus's fist crashed down resoundingly, striking straight against that tiny energy sphere on Peter's hand.
He harbored the intent of first blowing the energy sphere apart, then collapsing Peter's arm altogether along with it.
Hum~
No terrifying shockwave erupted, and the earth beneath their feet didn't shatter resoundingly from the collision of fist and palm.
Time seemed to have been hit with a pause button; the two僵持 in place in this bizarre manner, looking exactly as if neither of them was exerting even half a shred of strength.
Just as the gathered crowd on the scene was left somewhat unable to make heads or tails of the situation due to this bizarre sight, Hawkeye subconsciously froze.
His eyesight was exceptional, far surpassing the superheroes present on the scene. Therefore, he succeeded in noticing that a microscopic change had surfaced in Solus's expression.
It was an expression of pure disbelief, and within the absolute depths of his eyes, there was even an uncontrollable leak of... terror! Correct, it was terror!
But how could a monster as powerful as Solus display an expression like that after trading a single punch with Peter?
Just as he couldn't resist pondering this question in his heart, Peter's and Solus's figures separated. Peter remained floating steadily in place, looking exactly like a person who had nothing happen to him.
As for Solus, he subconsciously staggered back three steps, his frame swaying from side to side during the process of retreating, shaking just like a heavily drunk sot.
Finally, with an additional stumble, he sat heavily onto the ground flat on his rear, completely out of control.
His eyes went wide with shock as he used both hands to support his body in disbelief, exerting effort in an attempt to climb up from the ground.
But every single time he rose, his frame wobbled violently, and his vision spun continuously in circles; he tried several times yet failed to succeed.
Clearly a multiverse-level super combat power, yet at this moment, even standing up from the ground had become incomparably difficult. At this point, Solus finally experienced the emotion named panic. He couldn't resist looking toward Peter, shouting:
"You... what exactly did you do to me?!"
Facing Solus's interrogation, Evil Peter merely hooked the corner of his mouth at him, flashing an incomparably punchable smile:
"Nothing much, just a bit of basic application of astrophysics."
"Planets rotate, and this rotational force is precisely one of the cores of cosmic energy."
"I merely utilized this force slightly just now, and drove it into your body."
Peter's words were delivered with casual nonchalance, but when they fell into Solus's ears, they left his head completely filled with question marks.
Although he was an old vampire who had lived for over a thousand years, the entirety of his energy had been spent on hunting Spider-Totems; where would he find the mind to study something like astrophysics, and how much did he understand about so-called revolution, rotation, and fundamental cosmic forces?
He wasn't the only individual dumbfounded on the scene. Outside the protective shield, the cluster of street-level heroes who hadn't read many books, along with Captain America—a veteran of the battlefield—similarly possessed faces full of question marks.
Although their knowledge reserves were a tiny fraction greater than this old vampire Solus, they were likewise completely in a fog regarding so-called revolution and rotation.
Seeing Solus's face full of bewilderment, Peter couldn't help but shake his head, putting on an aura that screamed how terrifying to lack education as he explained:
"To put it simply, I drove the gravitational force of a planet's rotation into your body, and caused these gravitational forces to spin on their own in different directions at different speeds."
"This is equivalent to saying that while your main body is relatively static, every single part inside your body is performing rotation in a different direction."
"Furthermore, since the gravitational force of a planet's rotation never disappears, once this energy enters your body, the impact it causes on you will likewise never disappear!"
Speaking up to here, Peter flashed a faint smile at Solus, whose face was extremely distorted, before slowly delivering the name of this move:
"Remember this technique that is destined to make you inevitably march toward failure. Its name is... Rasengan: Uzuhiko!"
