Chapter 34: I Am Reality
Lan Xingyu watched Gwen and her family walk away, intending to stroll around Broadway a bit longer, as he hadn't really been to this street much before.
Looking at the theaters lining the street one after another, Lan Xingyu felt a bit curious. "With so many theaters, aren't they afraid of stealing each other's business?"
But seeing every theater bustling with people, Lan Xingyu felt a bit depressed. "Is it that I lack artistic cells? These seem to be very famous shows, so why did I fall asleep watching them? This isn't scientific!"
Shaking his head, Lan Xingyu continued walking forward. Just then, the crowd in front of him seemed to break into a riot; everyone was running in his direction. Some people who didn't know what was happening were also frightened by the scene and started running along with them.
Lan Xingyu was a bit curious. He activated his perception and discovered a rather strong energy reaction ahead, seemingly engaged in combat with some people.
Seeing this, Lan Xingyu seemed to recall something. He flashed into a dark corner and used Golden Body Transformation, then shot into the air, flying toward the target.
When Lan Xingyu arrived, this area of Broadway had already turned into ruins. Only a few helicopters in the sky and a few soldiers on the ground were struggling to hold on. And what they were facing was Abomination!
Lan Xingyu remembered that Abomination was originally a former Yugoslavian soldier who, after receiving the military's inferior Super Soldier Serum, was also injected with Gamma radiation. Consequently, he turned into a green-skinned monster, with initial strength stronger than Hulk. However, he didn't have the ability to get stronger as he got angrier like Hulk. Although he could maintain a clear mind after transforming, he couldn't turn back into human form.
Lan Xingyu saw a figure jump from a helicopter. Lan Xingyu knew Hulk was about to make an appearance. Since Hulk had arrived, Lan Xingyu was in no rush to deal with Abomination. His primary goal now was to rescue the living wounded from the ruins.
Thinking of this, Lan Xingyu turned into streams of light again, using magic and Observation Haki to search for and rescue people in the ruins.
The streams of light that Lan Xingyu turned into stunned everyone present. Seeing their companions disappearing one by one amidst the flashing golden light, they couldn't help but panic. When they were touched by the golden light, they appeared near the hospital, realizing they had been rescued.
General Ross on the helicopter was somewhat excited to see this scene. "What kind of ability is this? If the military could obtain him, the value might be even higher than Hulk." So, at this critical juncture, he ordered fire on those golden lights.
Thaddeus E. Ross was an Air Force Lieutenant General, obsessed with Super Soldier research. He was also the one who indirectly created Hulk. Then, in order to obtain Hulk's power, he would stop at nothing, completely disregarding the sacrifice of his soldiers. The number of families he had destroyed reached a terrifying figure. Previously, he had openly captured Hulk at a university, with no regard for the location.
At this moment, Lan Xingyu was still desperately saving people, and his Observation Haki warned him. Casually dodging the bullets, Lan Xingyu became furious. "The soldiers on the ground don't know what I'm doing, which is excusable, but can't you, being on the plane, see clearly? I placed the uninjured ones at a safe distance not far in front, it's not that far away. You senile old man, you dare to shoot at me?" (I really hated this old man in the movies; in Captain America: Civil War, he even became Secretary of State! It's just...)
"Fine, you dare to provoke me, right! Then I will ruin your life!" Lan Xingyu confirmed that everyone on the ground had been rescued. With a Flash of light, he sent everyone on that helicopter to a safe place separately. Then, he took General Ross alone into the Mirror Dimension.
"You dare..."
Lan Xingyu was in no mood to bicker with this old thing. He directly used magic to control him. Then he took out a camera to film him, using a skill similar to mental illusion to make him confess all the crimes he had committed over the years and how he had covered them up. Then he contacted Jarvis and had him send the video to all sites that could host videos after the recording was finished.
After finishing this, Lan Xingyu couldn't be bothered to stay with this old man anymore. He still had to go and solve those two troubles, Hulk and Abomination!
He flashed to the battlefield of Hulk and Abomination, saw that Hulk and Abomination were separated, and came before Hulk.
"Hello Hulk, goodbye Hulk." After saying that, he kicked Hulk. He opened a Teleportation Gate behind him, and the other side of the gate was the Amazon rainforest...
Hulk felt that a person suddenly appeared in front of him, greeted him, and before he could react, he felt himself flying. Then, he inexplicably arrived in a forest, rolling around in the bushes, and Hulk found himself even greener. He roared to the sky, but there was no object to vent on. In Hulk's mind, only herds of alpacas were left racing, and they were singing "Deja Vu... (that song from Initial D)" as they sped past.
And now, there was another confused person: Abomination, but after coming to his senses, he was filled with incomparable rage.
"Who are you? Where is Hulk? I want to fight him, I am the world's strongest! You ants." As he spoke, he rushed toward Lan Xingyu and threw a punch.
Lan Xingyu didn't move, so Abomination passed straight through Lan Xingyu, stumbled, and landed face-first on the ground.
"As the saying goes, it's not your fault that you are ugly, but it is wrong of you to come out and scare people when you are this ugly. Also." With a snap of Lan Xingyu's fingers, they appeared in the Mirror Dimension.
Dismissing the Golden Body Transformation, Lan Xingyu continued with a gloomy face: "You seem to have been a soldier before, right? Where is your mission as a soldier? Where is your glory as a soldier? You have really insulted the word soldier! Bastard!"
In Lan Xingyu's past life, soldiers had always been a presence he yearned for. But due to some Innate reasons, he failed to get recruited. He still remembered what their director said. "Regret being a soldier for four years, regret not being a soldier for a lifetime." Perhaps because of the different national conditions, soldiers in the US indeed always had scandals emerging. It really felt like two different things compared to our soldiers in China.
"Sure enough, this nationality still makes me feel the most at ease." Lan Xingyu looked at the passport in his hand and smiled like a six-year-old child. (Just being cheeky)
"What disgusting glory, I am the strongest now. Hulk is just at that level. I will be crowned king. You still dare to laugh! You ignorant brat, what gives you the courage to stand in front of me? Is it this strange ability of yours?" Abomination said with great disdain.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Daring to clamor at me." Lan Xingyu slowly walked towards Abomination.
"I am Abomination, the ruler of the future world!" Abomination said arrogantly.
"I think you haven't been beaten by society yet!"
Lan Xingyu waved his hand, and a thin, cicada-wing-like cubic light screen wrapped around Abomination.
Abomination threw a punch, but there was no change; Abomination became a bit uneasy. He waved his two fists and outputted frantically at the light screen. The result went without saying: a fierce flurry of attacks, but the scoreboard read 0-5.
"Buddy, you must think you're pretty awesome, right." As Lan Xingyu said this, a lightsaber appeared in his hand. This time it wasn't the usual longsword, but a greatsword taller than him.
"Maybe you're even thinking about how you can destroy the world, right." As he said this, Lan Xingyu threw the huge lightsaber into the sky. The sword began to continue to grow in the air.
"Useless, reality is cruel." Lan Xingyu saw his finger swipe downwards. The greatsword crashed down.
Abomination tried his best to hold up the falling greatsword. But he couldn't do it at all.
"No, no, no, this is impossible! I should be the strongest!"
Abomination had already been pinned to the ground by the sword.
"I am reality." Lan Xingyu opened his hands slightly and continued.
"No!..." Amidst Abomination's desperate cries, the greatsword fell, severing Abomination's head. Then a huge beam of light shot into the sky, and Abomination's body vanished into nothingness within this energy beam.
"Cool!" Sure enough, no matter what I cosplay, I can perfectly handle it. Lan Xingyu touched his hair on both sides, looking cool.
Sure enough, if heaven didn't give birth to me, Xingyu, the eons of cosplay would be like a long night! Lan Xingyu wouldn't leave Abomination's body like in the original work. What's the point of keeping it? To add trouble to himself?
He came to General Ross with a Teleportation Gate, saw that he was playing with his phone while waiting to confess, and just then received a call from Gwen's family.
"Xingyu, are you okay? Here at the police station, they said something happened on Broadway. Did you go back?" George Stacy's voice came from the phone.
"I'm already home. Thank you for your concern, Uncle George. Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"That's good. Then get some rest early. You're tired today too. Goodnight."
"Yeah! Goodnight!"
Hanging up the phone, Lan Xingyu waited for a while longer. Seeing that Ross had finished recording, he went over and knocked him unconscious, then teleported him to a random place and threw him there. He casually wiped a wave of his memories.
Mission accomplished, Lan Xingyu went straight home. As soon as he arrived home, he saw Amber walking the Creature outside.
"Thanks for your hard work, Amber! If it weren't for you, it would really be a lot of trouble!" Lan Xingyu said while petting Amber's head.
"It's nothing, these are all small things." Amber shook her head, signaling it wasn't a problem.
"Tomorrow I'll bring Peter over to play. Tony should be back soon too, so I'll leave the Creature to him then! Is the Creature done now? If so, let's go back; it's already night."
"Yeah, okay!" Following Amber's roar, the Creature clumsily ran over, and Lan Xingyu took the two little pets back.
It is precisely because people have passed through a dark period that they crave the dawn's light even more. — — — Writing is not easy, everyone please leave a recommendation vote before you go.
