Chapter 225 - Chapter 224 The Final Strike (Manga Issue)

Hearing this, and seeing everything that was happening in front of him, Abomination instinctively felt immense danger. He didn't even care about his severed arm and fled in a panic towards the subway tunnel. Although it was dark there, for him, only darkness could give him the sense of security he desired.

However, as soon as he took a step, he saw Zhou Yi blocking his way. Due to his speed, he couldn't even detect Zhou Yi's trajectory. He had actually anticipated that Zhou Yi would stop him, but he still held a sliver of hope. Now, this last hope was also dashed. The cruel reality had laid the cold truth before him; he couldn't escape.

If he couldn't escape, he could only wait for Death. However, before Death, everyone would struggle. Even Abomination, who had been scared out of his wits, was no exception. He knew he couldn't be Zhou Yi's opponent, but he still had to retaliate.

What if something unexpected happened? At this moment, even Abomination wouldn't give up. Even if there was a one in a million chance, he would try it. Because this was his life, and for this, no gamble was too much.

All the power in his body was concentrated on his sole remaining arm. To survive, Bronski unleashed his limit. His entire skeleton was creaking, his muscles were twisting, and even his surging blood had turned into spraying mist, erupting from the wounds all over his body. He had used the maximum power he could muster, and likewise, he had staked everything he had on this one strike.

The concentrated air shot out like a cannonball, then shredded everything in front of him like a sharp blade. To be able to deliver such a powerful punch with just one hand, Abomination could be proud.

But at this moment, there was no smile on his face at all, only shock and despair.

Zhou Yi did not fight him head-on as before. For him, Abomination no longer had the qualifications to trade punches with him. So he crouched down and calmly avoided the sharp edge of the punch. It grazed past him, and he took the opportunity to get close to his body from below.

"Oula!" With a roar, Zhou Yi delivered an incredibly brutal uppercut from below. With previous experience, Zhou Yi directly unleashed this punch at 120 Mach, and the 120 Mach supersonic punch instantly turned Abomination's body into a blur of light and Shadow once again.

Amidst roars like those of the Vicious Beasts of myth, Abomination's huge body shot towards the endless sky.

His broken body could no longer withstand such power. The moment he was hit, most of the bones in his body had shattered, and the muscles all over him had suffered varying degrees of tearing damage. As for his internal organs, they were extensively damaged. The only reason he was still alive was the tenacious vitality of a giant supporting him.

But he absolutely could not continue to hold on, because this was just the beginning.

Following Abomination's figure, Zhou Yi also shot out like lightning. He held his great spear, gathering the remaining turmoil in his heart and his understanding of the fleeting nature of time, then instantly unleashed hundreds of millions of fierce spear strikes.

For a time, the sky was filled with silver light and Shadow, and the air was filled with piercing tearing sounds. Fire trees and silver flowers could no longer describe the splendor of that instant, and the interweaving of light and Shadow could not reproduce that truly magnificent style.

It was as if a true Milky Way was shimmering before their eyes, incredibly magnificent and captivating. Heaven and Earth, all things in the World, seemed to have completely fallen silent. All you could see, feel, think, and imagine was only the shimmering silver light, spreading across the sky and perishing in an instant.

Eternity is but an illusion; only an instant is Eternity. Facing this infinitely illusory strike, Abomination's entire being fell into a mental silence. He seemed to see something, but also seemed to see nothing. Time was scornful of him, so much so that he clearly witnessed the most miraculous Profound Truths of the World, yet had completely lost his existence.

The blazing spearhead had, in that instant, fragmented him into tens of millions of pieces, and the illusory silver light had extinguished every trace of his consciousness. He came suddenly and departed completely. It seemed he left no trace whatsoever in this World.

But he would be remembered, for he allowed many to witness a splendid sight worthy of a lifetime's memory.

Coulson was silently looking at the tablet in front of him. Behind him, Bruce and Betty, as well as Jennifer, who was still in her giant form, made no sound. They were still pursuing those fleeting, inexplicable insights that flashed in their minds. Even if it was a Domain they could never explore in their entire lives, humanity's innate pursuit of knowledge still plunged them into deep contemplation.

Only one voice was still speaking unrestrainedly, as if everything that had happened had nothing to do with him.

"Oh, my goodness. My Pay-to-win dog eyes, what did I see? Super Ultimate War God Slash, or a Blazing Heaven Strike that broke through the gates of Hell? I knew I shouldn't have put down comic books and games so early to study science and math. This is where the Profound Truths of the World lie. Hey, pals, do you think it's still not too late for me to catch up on comics now?"

The little spider, hanging upside down over Coulson's head, let out such an extremely peculiar exclamation. This voice pulled Coulson and the others back to reality, making them look at him with a very strange gaze. That gaze seemed to be looking at a rare, endangered species.

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?" The little spider, who had almost played no part in the final moments of the battle, scratched his head and curiously retorted to those who were staring at him with strange eyes. "Don't you understand what I mean, or have you never read comics? If that's really the case, I can only say, 'Oh my, that's truly terrible.' Your childhood was truly unfortunate, and your teenage years were the same."

Coulson, encountering the little spider for the first time, was clearly a bit unaccustomed to such wild topics. However, he wasn't particularly annoyed by the little spider. After all, by his evaluation standards, this was a truly good Child.

He was capable, always doing good deeds, and seemed very obedient. As for that little habit of talking too much, it was a completely negligible issue.

If it weren't for the fact that the higher-ups still didn't allow it, he would have long ago recruited this Little fellow under his command. And even so, it didn't prevent him from showing his goodwill to the little spider.

"In fact, I also followed comics for a while. You know, I still have a complete set of Captain America stickers. There are quite a few limited edition collectibles in there."

"Wow oh oh, I think I heard something incredible. Captain America, that's an old antique from the last century!" The little spider exclaimed in surprise. "Officer, can you only remember things like that? Haven't you seen Naruto, or do you not know One Piece? Wow, don't tell me you don't even know what Dragon Ball is! That's an old comic!"

Listening to the little spider's peculiar exclamations, Coulson's smile instantly faded. "Sorry, my memory only contains Captain America as a comic, I'm truly sorry."

For an old good-natured man like Coulson, it doesn't matter if you piss him off, but if you dare to criticize Captain America, that's a big problem. You know, Coulson is a die-hard fan of Captain America. From childhood to adulthood, even now, he has never changed this fundamental principle.

"Seriously, Coulson. You haven't really only read Captain America comics, have you?" At this moment, Zhou Yi's voice came from behind him, shifting everyone's attention. "I thought you would have at least read Superman."

"My answer is, I've only read Captain America, and I only like that comic. As for Superman, that's Commander Hill's hobby, not mine," Coulson turned around and replied with no pleasant expression.

"Well, that's really good news, at least I finally found a hobby I share with Ms. Hill!" Zhou Yi shrugged, giving the best response to the secret news he had heard.

"Don't spread this around, otherwise Commander Hill will definitely kill someone." After a slight warning, Coulson asked, "When did you get back? I thought you'd wait a while longer."

"While you were talking, you know, without any burdens, my speed has always been very fast!" This was indeed the truth. Coulson, who had been monitoring every move on the battlefield via satellite, knew very well how fast this fellow was. He already had his latest data in his hands.

But it was precisely because he saw this data that he felt worried. Because Zhou Yi's power was getting stronger and stronger, so strong that many people felt apprehension. Many people had already begun to target this incredibly powerful fellow, and that number was still increasing.

Coulson didn't know whether he should tell him this news. It was an internal S.H.I.E.L.D. secret, certainly not idle chatter one could share with a friend. But if he didn't say it, the weight of the word 'friend' would be greatly diminished. This made it very difficult for him to choose.

However, in the end, he made a choice. He chose his professional integrity. No matter what, he was an Agent, and the most important core of an Agent was to keep secrets. He couldn't expose a secret just because of friendship. That would be a big mistake, so he could only hide everything in his heart with a smile.

"You're right, but we're not slow either. My people have already taken over the arrangements and aftermath here. Evacuation and rescue of personnel have also begun. You should thank me for not letting the damage you caused lead to greater casualties."

"Alright, well, thank you very much, Mr. Coulson, for your hard work and achievements." Zhou Yi smiled, tilting his head, then walked casually to Bruce Banner. "Now, Mr. Banner. I think you should believe my words now, shouldn't you?"
