"Hulk! Invincible!"
Hearing Qi Jun's words, the Hulk roared defiantly and leaped into the air with such force that the ground beneath him caved in.
However.
Qi Jun merely waved his hand lightly! Everyone around swore to their gods that they truly saw Qi Jun just lightly wave his hand! And then! BOOM! A sonic boom echoed, causing everyone's ears to ring and heads to spin. All the surrounding windows shattered, indicating the sheer power behind Qi Jun's strike!
The Hulk, who had been tearing through General Ross's troops, was suddenly hurled back to the ground at supersonic speed, creating a deep crater upon impact!
Gasp!!!
Everyone around took a sharp breath. Was this even human? That green monster was struck with such ease that he broke the sound barrier! Surely, the green monster must have been turned into a pile of mush!
Everyone was stunned, not daring to make any sudden movements, afraid that the terrifying figure floating in the air might turn his attention to them.
But Qi Jun didn't care about them, continuing to float calmly in the air.
Qi Jun knew that the people around thought the green monster, reduced to mush, couldn't possibly be dead! In fact, after this hit, the Hulk would only become stronger!
Feeling the surging power within him, Qi Jun suddenly felt a desire for a fierce and satisfying battle!
...
On the other side, Iron Man was stunned by the scene before him.
"Is he even human?"
Samuel Sterns, also terrified by the brutal strike, finally snapped out of his stupor, at a loss for words.
"I knew he was strong, but I didn't know he was this strong!"
Tony Stark stared blankly at Qi Jun's face, as if trying to figure out how Qi Jun could be so powerful! A casual wave had sent the military's helpless green monster crashing down with a sonic boom, deep into the ground.
Meanwhile, the elite team from S.H.I.E.L.D., who had followed Ross's lead to capture the green monster, was equally bewildered.
Was this even human?
"Hey, sir! I think you might want to see this!"
At that moment, a member of the backup team, or rather the support team, called out, drawing the team leader's attention.
The leader quickly moved to the person's side and looked at the portable battlefield monitoring screen.
"The Invisible Monitor!"
The leader looked at the screen and then at the floating man in the center of the battle, instinctively shouting.
In the leader's view, the man floating mid-air was still there, but on the monitor, there was nothing! No one was there!
"Agent Coulson, do you know him?"
Although the leader had instinctively lowered his voice, the agent handling the monitor still heard it and looked startled.
Was this the name of that floating powerhouse? Or just a description?
Coulson glanced at the agent and pondered silently.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Phil Coulson quickly regained his composure, his face turning stern again.
Although the "Rorschach Forget-Me-Not Mask" made Coulson forget everything related to Qi Jun, Nick Fury had reminded him of this matter. As the only S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had interacted with the "Invisible Monitor" and subsequently lost his memory, Coulson had a deep impression of Qi Jun! However, the "Invisible Monitor" was classified as a top-secret by Director Fury, not something the field agents accompanying him should know about.
But as Coulson glanced around, he couldn't help but grimace. This situation was likely beyond concealment! The battlefield monitoring device wasn't unique to this one agent. Due to the earlier outcry, nearly all the field agents had noticed this strange phenomenon!
"Remember! What you see now is a Level 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. secret! You must forget this entirely! Understand?"
Seeing there was no way to stop it, Coulson invoked S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classification system, hoping the agents were loyal enough to keep this secret! Coulson knew that after this mission, these agents would surely be re-assigned by Fury. If they couldn't maintain confidentiality, the consequences would be severe.
...
Just as Coulson was lost in thought, a massive tremor shook the ground beneath them.
"Earthquake! Earthquake!"
Already panicked by the Hulk's battle with the military, the crowd went into a frenzy at the cry of an earthquake, becoming even more chaotic.
Ironically, they ran toward the center of the battle, seeking safety in the open space, not considering if the tremor originated from the deep crater there.
Qi Jun observed coldly, making no move.
But Tony Stark, who had been standing by, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hey! Everyone! Get away from there! The green monster underground is coming out!"
The red-and-gold Iron Man officially entered the scene, blaring warnings through external speakers as he rushed to the panicking crowd.
"Wow!"
"Iron Man!!"
"Iron Man is here!"
"We're saved! Iron Man is here!"
The crowd, seeing Tony Stark's cool entrance, momentarily forgot their crisis, flocking towards Iron Man in excitement, as if in a frenzy!
Suddenly! The tremors stopped! Because! A larger, stronger, taller dark green monster emerged from the narrow crater, charging straight at the floating Qi Jun, shouting:
"Hulk! Invincible! Rising Dragon Strike!"
