Chapter 76: 073, Die… heretic
Zaire's tall figure flew through the air and landed heavily.
Splash!
His feet sank into the filthy waters of the sewer.
Straightening his back, Zaire lifted his chin.
Not far away, the blue light in David's eyes flickered slightly.
It illuminated the interior of the sewer.
Between David's two metal arms, Zaire's aunt, stunned and speechless, curled up cautiously, her pale face filled with shock.
Zaire didn't have time to explain further to her.
He waved his hand forward and commanded in a low voice:
"David, escort Auntie home!"
"As you command, my lord... Please follow me."
Ironman David turned his metal head.
First, he bowed slightly to Zaire.
Then, he nodded at his aunt, who was within arm's reach.
After that, Ironman twisted his metal body and headed into the dark depths of the sewer.
Zaire, his face grim, trudged through the sewage, silently following behind him.
Seconds later, Ironman, holding Zaire's aunt, entered a passage connected to the sewer.
The path he chose blocked the flowing sewage entirely.
Just as Zaire pulled one foot out of the sewage and stepped into the dry underground passage—
Boom!
A duller explosion echoed through the underground structure.
A thunderous rumble reverberated slowly.
Zaire tilted his head, his gaze unperturbed, slowly rising.
Even with only the coarse stone ceiling of the sewer above him, his sight seemed to penetrate the layers of earth above.
He saw the grotesque monster rampaging through the city!
That damn heretic—
"My lord?"
Ironman, only a few steps ahead, seemed to notice Zaire's hesitation.
He turned his metal head, the blue light in his eyes flickering.
"It's nothing…"
Hearing Ironman's inquiry, Zaire slowly withdrew his gaze.
However, his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched and unclenched repeatedly, his fingertips trembling slightly.
"...Take Auntie away!"
"I... still have things to do!"
The next moment, Zaire, his face grim, tilted his head, making a decision.
He took a deep breath.
The stench of decay from the sewer water filled his senses, pulling at his rapidly beating heart.
"May you find glory in battle."
Ironman David turned his head and, without hesitation, proceeded forward.
Held carefully in his arms, Zaire's aunt bit her lip.
She instinctively clenched her fists but remained silent.
Not long after, the blue light gradually faded into the distance.
When Ironman's silhouette had completely vanished into the dark underground passage—
Zaire, standing in place, expressionless, opened the interface on his simulator.
He scrolled through a myriad of salvage items.
Moments later, heavy equipment materialized silently within the underground passage.
---
Under the night sky, among the streets of Harlem—
Smoke billowed from several buildings, while flames from burning vehicles shot up high.
The sounds of injured civilians crying out and the collapse of ruins filled the air, turning the street into a deadly urban battleground.
It felt like a nightmarish hell.
Thud. Thud. Thud—
Heavy footsteps echoed slowly.
A three-meter-tall humanoid creature strode down the street.
Sweat seeped from its pale gray skin, dripping onto the ground.
Thick bone plates, covering its chest, opened and closed slightly with each heavy breath.
Even the raised, spiked bones on its back glinted faintly, moving up and down with each step.
At this moment, the humanoid monster suddenly raised a massive arm, as thick as an adult's thigh.
A booming crack of air resounded around it!
This immense power caused a sinister grin to stretch across its grotesque face.
"Heh…"
It remembered once having a human name.
But now—
It preferred to call itself "Abomination."
A deep, oppressive voice filled the surrounding area as Abomination sneered:
"Come out, Hulk! How long will you keep hiding, coward?"
There was no response to Abomination's taunt.
But beneath an overturned vehicle nearby—
A man, struggling with his injuries, caught Abomination's attention.
Lumbering forward with heavy steps, Abomination approached him.
With no trace of humanity left in its eyes, Abomination lifted a colossal foot, ignoring the man's pleas and screams, and stomped down without hesitation!
Splat—
In an instant, shattered flesh and metal shards from the vehicle mingled together, indistinguishable.
Abomination shook its gray head.
Its deep voice echoed slowly:
"You're not the Hulk… boring!"
It adjusted its blood-splattered foot.
Just as its massive body was about to turn—
Two red metal canisters, over a foot long, were thrown from nearby rubble!
They twirled through the air, reflecting firelight, instantly catching Abomination's gaze.
"Huh?"
Clang—
But with a crisp metallic sound, the canisters suddenly detonated!
A blinding flash of light, as radiant as the sun, burst forth in front of Abomination!
Abomination's arrogance exacted a brutal toll as its eyes were seared shut!
Countless rays of searing light instantly blinded it!
Staggered, Abomination reflexively raised its massive hands to shield its eyes.
A pained howl escaped its mouth!
"Ahhh—"
As Abomination's howl reverberated through the surroundings, its enormous body wobbled.
Its bare feet crushed the ground as it stumbled backward.
At that moment—
A tall figure, clad in dark camo armor, suddenly leaped from the rubble!
In his hands—
He wielded a peculiar weapon, gleaming with metallic luster and filled with swirling green light in transparent tubes.
In the blink of an eye—
Zaire, springing high, unleashed a deadly barrage at the blinded Abomination without hesitation!
Whoosh—
A terrifying green beam of light shot forth from the barrel of the Gauss Burst Cannon like lightning!
In the blink of an eye, it struck Abomination's massive body!
The gray skin, resilient enough to withstand high-caliber bullets, evaporated almost instantly.
Countless pieces of flesh disintegrated into green atoms, dissipating rapidly!
Even Abomination's powerful regenerative abilities couldn't resist the evaporative force of the deadly green light!
In the next instant—
Terrifying green beams, like a storm of bullets, fired continuously from the vibrating barrel!
Die… heretic!
