-----
Inside his cliffside mansion in Malibu, Tony Stark watched the security footage with absolute disbelief. He saw Su Mu casually shatter the high-grade ballistic glass of the penthouse and dive out the window.
"What a monster," Tony muttered. "That glass is rated to withstand a direct hit from an RPG, and he shattered it with a flick of his wrist. He didn't even use that freaky spatial shield of his! But... why did he just leave? Jarvis, track his trajectory. Is there a major incident happening right now?"
"Scanning... Yes, sir," Jarvis replied instantly, pulling up several live news feeds and projecting them in front of Tony.
Seeing the apocalyptic footage, Tony cursed loudly.
"What the hell is that thing?! Is this what the White Demon went to find?! Jarvis, prep the Mark IV. I absolutely cannot miss this!"
"But sir, the Mark IV hasn't undergone final calibration—"
"Skip the calibration!" Tony interrupted, already moving toward the suit-up gantry. "My designs don't fail!"
...
New York. Northern Manhattan. Harlem.
A terrifying, bone-plated green monster had materialized out of nowhere and was currently rampaging through Harlem, slaughtering anything that moved.
This once-bustling district had been reduced to a smoldering war zone. The deafening roar of heavy artillery and the agonizing screams of civilians turned the streets into a literal hell on earth, steeped in absolute despair.
Elite military strike teams desperately maneuvered through the rubble, pouring everything they had into the monstrous Abomination. But whether it was heavy machine-gun fire, anti-tank rounds, or high-explosive missiles, absolutely nothing could even scratch the beast's leathery hide. The highly trained soldiers were just as powerless as the fleeing civilians.
At the edge of the destruction, sitting casually on the ledge of a skyscraper with his legs dangling over the abyss, Su Mu rested his chin in his hand. He watched the tragic play unfolding below with an amused, leisurely smile.
He was patiently waiting for the protagonist to make his entrance.
Whoosh!
A familiar repulsor whine echoed from the sky. Su Mu didn't bother to turn around; the Six Eyes had tracked Tony Stark's approach from miles away.
Tony hovered in the air beside the skyscraper, staring down at the apocalyptic destruction. Beneath his helmet, his expression was grim.
"What is that thing?" Tony demanded.
Su Mu replied lazily, without looking away. "Just a classic tragic play. A weak, pathetic mortal suddenly acquires the power he always dreamed of, loses his mind, and decides to take revenge on the world."
"And what exactly are you doing up here?" Tony shot back. He knew for a fact that the arrogant kid sitting on the ledge possessed the god-like power to instantly stop this massacre. Yet, Su Mu was just sitting there, watching the carnage like it was a summer blockbuster.
Su Mu could hear the rising anger in Tony's voice, but he remained entirely unfazed. He simply shifted his weight to find a more comfortable position.
"I'm waiting for the protagonist to show up," Su Mu drawled. "What about you? Shouldn't you be prepping for your big press conference tomorrow instead of playing hero?"
Tony ignored the jab. "So you're just going to sit here and do absolutely nothing while that monster slaughters innocent people?"
"Why shouldn't I? Even if I choose not to stop it, it doesn't mean I'm in the wrong, does it?"
Tony fell silent. Su Mu was right. The kid didn't have a legal or moral obligation to save anyone.
Choosing not to waste any more breath, Tony engaged his thrusters and dove toward the Abomination. He fired continuous repulsor blasts from his palms, but the concussive energy did absolutely nothing to the monster.
"Hey, ugly!" Tony shouted over his external speakers. "I brought you a present! Jarvis, Unibeam, 100% capacity!"
The triangular Arc Reactor on the Mark IV's chest flared with blinding white light before unleashing a massive, concentrated beam of pure energy directly into the Abomination's chest.
Tony exhaled sharply. That should do it.
Suddenly, a colossal chunk of masonry ripped through the air, smashing violently into Tony. The impact sent the Iron Man rocketing backward, severely denting the Mark IV's chest plate.
Down on the street, the Abomination hadn't taken a single point of damage from the Unibeam. The monster merely glanced at the direction he had swatted the "annoying metal bug," spat on the ground, and roared at the sky.
"HULK! GET OUT HERE! FACE ME!"
Up on the skyscraper, Su Mu casually used Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue to catch Tony mid-air, gently depositing the heavily damaged Mark IV onto the roof beside him.
"Well, Tony," Su Mu teased, "that was a very quick trip. Why'd you fly back up so soon?"
Tony didn't answer. He shakily retracted his faceplate, gasping for air. For a split second there, he honestly thought he was going to die.
It was only then that Tony assumed he understood why Su Mu hadn't intervened. That monster possesses unimaginable strength and absolute invulnerability. Even the White Demon knows he can't win!
Just then, a deafening, earth-shattering crash echoed from the street below.
Su Mu slowly stood up from the ledge and stretched his arms above his head lazily.
"Looks like the protagonist has finally arrived on stage," Su Mu smirked. "I suppose that means it's time for the villain to make his debut."
With that, Su Mu leaned forward and plummeted off the roof, vanishing into the smoke below.
Tony frowned in confusion. Why did he call himself the villain? Isn't the giant bone-monster the villain here?
...
Bruce Banner had leaped out of a helicopter without a parachute, crashing violently into the asphalt and leaving a massive crater. Seconds later, a giant, heavily muscled green hand grabbed the edge of the crater, and the Hulk finally pulled himself out.
The main event had begun.
The Hulk immediately ripped a police cruiser in half, using the two pieces as boxing gloves as he charged at the Abomination.
The two behemoths clashed violently, their shockwaves leveling the surrounding buildings. But because Banner had recently injected an experimental suppressant serum, the Hulk couldn't access the absolute peak of his bottomless rage. Slowly but surely, the Abomination began to overpower him.
Just as the Abomination pinned the Hulk to the ground, preparing to rain down a flurry of devastating blows, a completely unbothered, cheerful voice echoed from the sidelines.
"No, no, no, Abomination, your form is all wrong! You should have aimed that last punch directly at his eye! And Hulk, come on, buddy! You have to aim for the vitals! Do you even know what a vital point is?"
Both monsters froze instinctively. They turned their massive heads toward the source of the voice.
Sitting leisurely atop the only surviving streetlight in the intersection was a white-haired young man. He was casually munching on a bag of potato chips he had presumably looted from a destroyed bodega, gesturing animatedly at them with a chip.
Seeing them stop, Su Mu frowned in annoyance.
"What are you two stopping for? Keep fighting! I haven't finished my chips yet!"
The Abomination narrowed his reptilian eyes. He recognized the white-haired boy from the military broadcasts—the so-called "White Demon," a Level 5 mutant.
But having just acquired his absolute, god-like strength, Emil Blonsky didn't fear anyone. What did he care about a "White Demon"? The kid was probably just a minor nuisance, like that metal bug he swatted earlier.
With a savage sneer, the Abomination dug his fingers into the asphalt, ripped out a massive chunk of the road, and hurled it with terrifying force at the streetlight. The boulder broke the sound barrier, instantly obliterating the streetlight and the boy sitting on it.
The Abomination turned away immediately, not even bothering to confirm the kill. He raised his fists to continue beating the Hulk.
But suddenly, a freezing, deeply arrogant sigh echoed directly behind his ear.
"Tsk, tsk. Bad boy. What kind of civilized fighter attacks the referee?"
Before the Abomination could even turn his head, an absolute, transcendental force slammed into his broad back.
BOOM!
Violent, jagged arcs of black-and-red lightning instantly consumed the entire intersection!
The Abomination was violently launched forward. He became an unstoppable projectile, smashing through multiple reinforced concrete buildings before finally crashing into the rubble of a collapsed bank, leaving a trail of absolute devastation in his wake.
When the Abomination finally stopped skidding, he immediately felt a warm liquid dripping down his back. He reached back and touched his spine.
His bone-plated skin—which was biologically denser than titanium alloy—had been completely shattered. A perfectly distinct, smoking fist imprint was branded into his back, and thick green blood was pouring freely from the wound.
For the very first time since his mutation, he was bleeding!
The Abomination looked back through the massive tunnel his body had just carved through the city blocks.
Hovering in the air at the end of the tunnel was the White Demon. The boy's crystalline, azure eyes were glowing with a terrifying, ethereal light, looking down at the Abomination with the absolute indifference of a god looking at a particularly ugly insect.
At that exact moment, a heavenly chime rang in Su Mu's mind:
[System Notification: Energy Point +1]
[System Notification: Template Synchronization Reached: 40%]
[System Notification: New Skill Unlocked — Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!]
Perfect timing.
The familiar, diabolical smirk spread across Su Mu's face.
