Chapter 38 A New Enemy!
This is the origin of the ship girls.
Hanlu had originally considered building a few more, since there are so many warships in the world. If they were all built, it would definitely be an iron army that no one could stop.
He even dared to challenge the Celestials to a one-on-one duel—of course, it would be a group of his own against one of their opponents.
However, after arriving at the USS Missouri, and after successfully weakening himself to the point of collapse, and being gently helped up by two kind ship girls, he realized that he seemed to have overlooked a very embarrassing problem.
First of all, building the Enterprise and Belfast is no problem, because he at least knows what they look like and what their general abilities are. As for the "Missouri" concept... well, he can't imagine it, he's never seen it.
What other ship girls does he recognize? Akagi, Kaga, Taihou, Shokaku, Zuikaku, Shinano, Musashi, Yamato... Oh, I don't recognize this one.
Holy crap, why are they all from the opposing faction?
Could it be that I really am a "Furi fanatic"?
No, no, no!!
For various reasons, Hanlu had to face the fact that in this day and age, the ships she knew had long since sunk or been dismantled.
And of those that still exist, he doesn't recognize most of them at all;
Perhaps some of the ones he recognized were preserved, but he had no idea where they were—
After all, with the internet down now, how could it possibly be found?
Do we rely on maps?
Left with no other choice, he could only hastily rush to the battlefield with these two ship girls, intending to have them act as his front-line bodyguards while he was focused on getting the Infinity Stones!
For example, right now, standing opposite two girls who seem to be using "delicate" as a disguise is a green monster that is almost falling apart.
Many people have speculated about the Hulk—or rather, how powerful this version of the Hulk really is.
If we consider the cinematic presentation of "The Incredible Hulk," setting aside the so-called special effects, and focusing solely on the fight scenes, no matter how ferocious or unstoppable it appears, it cannot change the fact that its destructive power is at most a few dozen or even a hundred tons.
But in "The Avengers", Hulk's performance reached a new peak!
In a mere instant of transformation, while suppressing his rage, he was able to forcefully pull the Leviathan behemoth, weighing tens of thousands of tons, down from the sky, even while using its face as a foothold!
In later episodes, Hulk's performance gradually declines, but at this moment—
The moment the girl's seemingly delicate hand collided with Hulk's giant fist, a deafening roar erupted, creating a powerful shockwave that nearly sent the entire retreating team flying.
John Walker looked back with a heavy heart, gripping his shield. He knew he had no way out but to lead his troops to continue expanding outwards, leaving enough space for the core battlefield to fight.
In their first encounter, Belfast's pink fist collided with Hulk's giant fist for only a moment before crumbling apart.
The raging, boundless energy surged upwards from the opponent's palm, frantically eroding her. Fortunately, Hanlu had warned her beforehand, and she immediately jumped back after the attack missed!
Hulk seemed to want to give chase, but Enterprise leaped up from behind Belfast.
The moment Hulk looked up, he met Enterprise's raised arm in eye contact; her longbow was already fully drawn.
"Boom!!"
The scene before my eyes was like a nuclear explosion, with unprecedented light pollution erupting in an instant, even briefly obscuring the light of the Infinity Stones!
Of course, all of this happens within 0.0001 microseconds.
Hanlu had no time to care about any of that; he had already flown to the edge of the canyon that spewed out endless energy, looking at the still incredibly violent energy before him.
As he sighed, he placed his hands on the colorful waterfall, feeling its pulse.
Even though Hulk had noticed something was wrong and tried to turn around to stop him, he was hit in the stomach by a precise side kick from the agile Enterprise.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of force erupted at this moment!
This power, which could easily blast hatred into blood and gore in an instant, only made her pause slightly in front of the Infinite Hulk!
Hulk swung his hand again, and the giant hand that was powerful enough to crush the company's body was hit on the forehead by a cannonball as soon as it landed.
"Hello there."
The Belfast's 152mm naval gun was pressed so close to the back of the Hulk's head that any words would pale in comparison.
"boom!!"
Belfast, who had specially switched to armor-piercing rounds, looked at the Hulk falling forward in front of him with some surprise.
The woman took the opportunity to bend over instantly, her incredibly flexible waist taut like a drawn bow. Looking closely at the Hulk flying backwards above her, her face remained utterly calm.
The two stood side by side again, surrounded by menacing naval cannons and the shield-like aircraft carrier deck, staring intently at the Hulk who had fallen to the ground and then gotten back up.
He seemed completely unharmed, turning around and roaring again. But only they could see the hollow at the back of his head and the barely perceptible gash in his chest—
It's like a banana peel with a hole cut in it, revealing the bright yellow flesh inside. Except here, beneath the green skin, there's an unstoppable, raging torrent of colorful energy!
"His body cannot control such power," the three mages, who had not participated in the battle but served as humanity's escape route, said with a hint of sorrow as they looked at Banner, who had sacrificed himself for the world. "His inner self has long been completely devoured, leaving only this skin to maintain his final form."
They took a deep breath. They had wanted to help when they saw the Hulk's unstoppable attack, but they hadn't expected the two women to be so much stronger than they had imagined.
The two ship girls exchanged a smile, then charged forward swiftly from the left and right.
In the distance, the zombie queen, who had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield, curled her lips into a barely perceptible smile, tilted her head slightly, and activated her final trump card.
"Hey! Monster! Take this!"
As the warhammer, crackling with countless lightning bolts, descended from the sky, Thor, with unwavering confidence, threw a punch!
Not only for the losses they suffered in the past, but also for their people, and perhaps even for the title of "the strongest avenger"!
This strike, imbued with boundless rage, was undoubtedly his strongest move at this moment, and he was 100% confident in its effectiveness.
But when the warhammer struck the zombie queen's side, it strangely froze, as if time had been stopped!
The eerie red and gold energy instantly corroded the silver serpent-encircled warhammer like venom. Thor was shocked and tried to take it back, only to find that his connection with Mjolnir had been completely severed!
He dared not hesitate for a moment, his body radiating immense power and thunderous force as he charged straight at the Scarlet Witch before him.
The instant those thunderous hands descended—
Rumble!
An earth-shattering energy instantly swept across the entire battlefield, even causing the Infinite Hulk, who was locked in a struggle, to pause for a moment.
It was because even the boundless energy within him could sense the terror of this power!
This did not originate from Scarlet Witch, but from a being deep within the Earth that should not exist!
Icarus was astonished to feel the surge of energy within his body. He roared as he watched the colossal giant gradually emerge beneath the Scarlet Witch and pierce through the illusory veil.
The instant that giant hand raised—
"No!!!"
Icarus's rage was unprecedented in thousands of years!
Even when his companions turned into zombies and he killed them with his own hands, even when he personally ended the disgusting zombie captain, he had never been so furious!
The birth of the other party undoubtedly proclaimed that all his struggles over the past few thousand years had come to naught!
The crowd stared in disbelief at the enormous golden giant. Although its size was similar to that of an enlarged zombie, the surging cosmic energy within its body and the mysterious golden patterns covering its body gave it an insurmountable sense of oppression, even making Icarus feel a fear of giving up!
As the golden giant wearing an ancient armored helmet punched Thor away, its body was completely lifted out of the soil and stood behind the Scarlet Witch!
