The moment Yuma finished speaking, all the black snowflakes began to transform into giant black ice crystals from under his feet, spreading outwards.
Each ice crystal was composed of eight ice pillars, each nearly three meters high.
When the first snowflake turned into an ice crystal, a red energy warning appeared on Tony's screen. Tony immediately called on Hulk to escape.
The giant Abomination was the same. It instinctively felt danger and ran towards another direction, trying to get out of the range of the black snow, regardless of everything.
The ice crystals grew at a speed beyond everyone's imagination. In a blink of an eye, the ground was already covered with giant black ice pillars. Even the black snow that hadn't fallen in the air turned into ice crystals, falling onto the ice pillars and making a clear clanging sound.
The giant Abomination had only escaped halfway when it was caught up by the ice crystals. It was instantly frozen from its feet, its body still in a jumping posture. The look of fear and despair on its face was also frozen.
"Jarvis, use half of the energy to launch a laser wall to create high temperatures." Tony said anxiously, seeing that the ice crystals had reached behind them.
"Yes, sir. First…"
Jarvis' words were only halfway through when the screen went completely dark.
"Ah~ oh~"
Seeing this, Tony felt a mixture of emotions. Before he could even mock himself, he and Hulk were frozen in the ice crystals.
…
Above the lab, Yuma stood in the air. His white hair reached his waist and fluttered in the wind. The thousand-meter radius around his feet had completely turned into a world of ice crystals.
Countless black diamond-shaped ice pillars shimmered with a cold, strange light in the sunlight, giving a strange sense of beauty.
…
"Help me connect to the Council," General Ross said to Coulson beside him, looking at the three frozen people and the giant black iceberg on the screen. "Or connect to your director, Nick Fury."
"You're…?" Coulson was puzzled. General Ross was the overall commander here. Why would he need to ask the director or the Council for anything?
Although he was puzzled, Coulson still dialed Nick Fury's number.
After the call connected, Coulson briefly introduced the current situation, then handed the phone to General Ross.
General Ross took the phone and walked to a corner. He frowned and argued with Nick Fury about something.
Finally, General Ross' frown relaxed. His eyes became firm, and a smile even appeared on his lips.
After the call ended, General Ross handed the phone to Coulson. "Nick Fury has something to tell you."
After saying that, he returned to the screen, staring at Yuma, who was still standing in mid-air, ignoring Coulson and Natasha.
"Phil, you and Natasha leave immediately. Go back to headquarters."
Nick Fury's voice came from the phone as soon as Coulson answered.
"But sir, here…"
"This is an order," Nick Fury interrupted before Coulson could finish. "Take Natasha and the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Go back to headquarters immediately and report. Leave this place to General Ross."
"Yes!"
Coulson said helplessly, then hung up the phone.
"What happened?" Natasha asked, seeing that Coulson's expression was wrong. "What did the director say?"
"The director told us to go back to headquarters immediately and report. Leave this place to General Ross," Coulson said to Natasha. Then he turned to the other agents and ordered, "Everyone, check your equipment. We're retreating now!"
A group of agents immediately packed their bags and began to board the vehicles in batches.
"The director said it's an order. I don't know either." Seeing that Natasha was going to ask again, Coulson said, then patted Natasha's shoulder and walked towards the car.
…
"Order everyone to shrink the encirclement towards the battlefield. As soon as the battle is over, attack immediately," General Ross ordered his subordinates after the S.H.I.E.L.D. people left. "Remember, I want them alive. Once you've controlled them, immediately inject them with an anesthetic. Don't let them attack again."
"Also, I don't want anyone to escape!"
"Yes!"
His subordinates immediately contacted the various combat teams and began to pass down the order.
…
On the battlefield, Yuma stood in the air. The mask on his face was so small that it could only cover his left eye. The rest had completely disappeared, revealing Yuma's original face.
"Burial !"
Looking at the countless black ice crystals on the ground, like ice flowers, Yuma said softly.
Crack, crack, crack…
Suddenly, there were sounds like glass shattering from inside the black ice crystals on the ground. Then, the sounds got louder and louder, more and more frequent, and began to become dense.
Starting from under Yuma's feet, the black ice crystals began to shatter continuously, spreading outwards.
The ice crystals didn't shatter into countless irregular fragments and pieces like ordinary glass. Instead, they shattered regularly into black ice crystal long swords, the same as Yuma's Zanpakuto, and stuck into the ground.
Soon, the giant ice crystal formed by eight ice pillars, which enveloped the Abomination, also shattered, turning into countless ice swords.
The ice crystals shattered faster and faster. In a blink of an eye, they spread to the outermost edge, in front of the ice crystal that enveloped Tony and Hulk.
Just as Tony and Hulk were about to follow in the giant Abomination's footsteps and turn into countless ice swords, the shattering suddenly stopped.
Crack!
The only remaining part of the mask on Yuma's face suddenly shattered into two pieces and fell off his face.
Without the support of the mask, Yuma's eyes, hair, and clothes instantly returned to their original state. Then, he fell headfirst from the air towards the ground.
Boom!
Yuma's body crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
At this time, the countless ice crystal long swords and the black ice pillars that enveloped Tony and Hulk also began to dissipate, turning into spiritual particles and dissipating into the air.
"Everyone, speed up and control them," General Ross' face showed uncontrollable joy. His voice trembled slightly. "Remember, don't let them wake up, including Stark and Hulk!"
Soon, General Ross' combat teams rushed into the battle scene. All the black ice crystals had disappeared. The only things left were the three unconscious people, the giant Abomination, which had shattered into countless pieces, and the devastated ground.
"Report. Yuma, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner have been successfully controlled," a subordinate's report came from the screen. "The giant Abomination's body has also been collected and packed. Requesting further instructions."
"Good, very good!" General Ross laughed and then commanded in the communicator. "First and third teams, follow me. Take Stark and Banner back to Queens. I'll handle things here."
As he spoke, a crazy light flashed in General Ross' eyes. "Then, take Yuma with me to the secret experimental base in Manhattan!"
"We have more important things to do then!"
