Chapter 3
He planted Loki in the ground.
"Fuck you!" Nick Fury slammed his fist on the table. "Who is he?! What is he doing? Is he putting on a show?!"
"Sir," a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent said, adjusting his glasses, "whoever he is, he's strong. Very strong. And look at the public's reaction."
In the corner of the screen, there were live broadcasts from various TV stations.
"...We saw it! An unbelievable scene! This mysterious Superman, he blew that monster apart!!"
"Who is he? Is he really Superman? But he doesn't have an 'S' on his chest!"
"Mommy! It's Superman! It really is Superman!"
The cheers of the crowd could be clearly heard even through the screen.

Popularity skyrockets! New York City's popularity: Emerging!
Power boost! Thermal vision temperature boost!
Wu Yanzu felt the powerful force surging through his body, and he almost groaned with pleasure.
The battle continues.
With the addition of Wu Yanzu, a seemingly unremarkable superhuman, the Chitauri invading forces were clearly overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads.
He was like a red and blue lightning bolt, freely traversing the skies above the battlefield.
This is not just fighting, it's putting on a show.
Every punch must be delivered with the most magnificent style.
Every thermal image must be cut with the utmost precision.
Every rescue must be done at the most dangerous moment.
He saw a bus full of commuters about to be crushed by the collapsing building.
In a flash, he appeared on the roof of the bus, one hand—
Boom!!!
He caught half of the collapsed concrete slab with one hand!
"Oh my god..." The passengers on the bus stared in shock at the man above them through the glass.
Wu Yanzu's figure, like a god descending to earth, and the fluttering Stars and Stripes cape, created a striking image.
He even had the energy to wink at a child inside the car window.
"Wow..."
"He saved us!!"
"Superman! It's Superman!!"
"I'm going to post this on my Facebook!"
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Cell phones, cameras—everything that could take a picture was pointed at him.
"That's right...that's exactly it!" Wu Yanzu greedily savored it all. "Look at me! Worship me!!"

Another huge wave of popularity points has been gained!
He casually tossed the half-floor slab towards the Chitauri squad, then gracefully flew away to find the next "shot".
At this moment, he was like an elegant butcher, sometimes using thermal vision to perform precise surgery, and sometimes using absolute strength and speed to tear the enemy apart before they could react.
He even had the leisure to fly above Black Widow and land in front of her when she was surrounded.
"Madam, do you need any help?" He smiled, then his eyes flashed red, and he sliced apart all the dozen or so Chitauri soldiers in front of her.
Natasha gripped her weapon tighter, watching him warily. "Thank you! But you're too close."
"It's my honor." Wu Yanzu winked at her with his left eye, bent his knees slightly, and soared into the sky.
"...Bastard." Natasha cursed under her breath, but she had to admit that this guy had been a big help.
"That guy in the cape is really eye-catching." Hawkeye stood on the high building and blew up three Chitauri soldiers with a single arrow.
"He looks even better than Thor," Black Widow commented calmly as she fought.
"He's very strong," Captain America replied gravely into the communicator. "But we don't know him, we need to talk to him. But right now, anyone who can help is a friend!"
"Let's deal with Thor's theatrical brother first!" Stark's voice came through. "I'm almost at Stark Tower; Loki's there."
At that very moment, Loki was aboard a Chitauri aircraft, scepter in hand, enjoying the invasion he had orchestrated.
"Found him!" Hawkeye spotted him from above and fired a specially made explosive arrow.
Loki caught the arrow easily with one hand without turning his head, and smiled contemptuously.
"...?"
boom--!!!
The shockwave from the explosion blasted Loki through the air, sending him flying in a grotesque parabola before he crashed into Stark Tower with a bang...
Wu Yanzu watched with great interest and flew over to follow.
Inside Stark Tower.
Loki was thrown around, feeling dizzy and covered in dirt.
He staggered to his feet and saw the man in front of him wearing a national flag cloak, looking at him with a mocking expression.
"Ugh..." Loki covered his head, his dignity as the son of Asgard had been insulted.
"Enough!" Loki stood up angrily. "Who do you think you are! I am a god! You stupid, inferior creature!"
"Don't even think about bullying me! I won't be bullied by someone like that..."
Before Loki could finish speaking, Wu Yanzu's figure had already vanished from the spot.
Loki's pupils contracted.
too fast!
The next second, Wu Yanzu appeared in front of him, one hand gripping his neck like an iron clamp, lifting him high up.
"What did you just say?" Wu Yanzu smiled, but his eyes were cold.
"How dare you—!" Loki struggled, his face flushed red.
Wu Yanzu's smile became even brighter.
He hurled Loki into the air, then flashed above him even faster, his feet landing a War Stomp on Loki's stomach! Boom!!!
The marble floor cracked instantly, creating a huge, human-shaped crater.
Before Loki could catch his breath, Wu Yanzu grabbed his ankle again and swung him around like a hammer.
With a whooshing sound, Loki's body became a blur, crashing wildly against the pillars, walls, and ceilings inside Stark Tower.
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Each loud bang was accompanied by the sounds of steel bars twisting and cement cracking, and the entire building seemed to tremble.
Loki's helmet had long since flown away; he was foaming at the mouth, delirious, and seeing stars.
"What do you say you are?"
boom! !
Wu Yanzu slammed Loki's head into an alloy load-bearing column, causing the entire column to cave in.
"A...god?"
boom! ! !
Then, like a ball, Loki was slammed heavily onto the steel frame of another glass curtain wall. The enormous impact even shattered the entire curtain wall.
Wu Yanzu stopped and picked up the half-dead Loki as if he were carrying a bag of garbage.
He flexed his wrists and then flashed a perfect, "righteous" smile.
"Come on, one last time."
Wu Yanzu leaped high into the air with Loki, breaking through the ceiling. He flipped in the air, grabbed Loki's arms, and did a perfect headfirst somersault!
Boom—Crack!
A loud bang.
Loki's entire upper body was embedded in the concrete, leaving only his two legs twitching unconsciously outside.
"..."
Iron Man, who had just arrived, along with Captain America and Black Widow who rushed out of the elevator, witnessed this scene.
All three of them were stunned.
Natasha: "...He...he planted Loki in the ground?"
Stark landed on the ground and opened his visor: "Well, I have to say, that was pretty cool."
"..."
"Loki!" Thor descended from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
He saw his younger brother, with only his legs sticking out.
Thor's face flushed crimson instantly. He raised his Mjolnir, pointed it at Wu Yanzu, and roared, "You mortal! How dare you... how dare you..."
He mumbled "so" for a long time, but couldn't think of a single word.
After all, it was his brother who invaded Earth first.
"How dare you humiliate my brother like this!"
