Chapter 77
Bronsky: He's got a cheat code! He's not even acting anymore!
Initially, this was just a bunch of fabricated statements made up by those people who were unwilling to admit that they had said something wrong.
Unexpectedly, despite the battle having raged for so long, the New York police were slow to arrive at the scene. The footage, from beginning to end, only showed Spider-Man, the "wanted criminal," diligently saving citizens. As a result, the number of people agreeing with this viewpoint clearly increased significantly over time.
The topic has even become more and more abstract, with some people starting to think that the New York Police Department is wasting the taxpayers' money and should all resign and hand over the management of New York City to Spider-Man!
This stands in stark contrast to the recent public sentiment that was eager for Spider-Man to be arrested!
With just a few words, a one-sided war of words can be started based on unfounded conspiracy theories.
It was as if, in the eyes of this group of people, the New York Police Department had become some kind of heinous villain, and they themselves were the most just and selfless judges who had seen through the truth!
However, this group of people, who seem to be filled with righteous indignation, are merely using the name of justice to enjoy the revelry of cyberbullying and vent their frustrations in life...
In this situation, they don't really care whether what Spider-Man did was righteous or not.
No one cared whether the boy in charge of filming was in danger.
On the contrary, a large group of people complained that the boy's filming was not stable enough and the picture was not clear enough. Ignoring the boy's own safety, they either verbally encouraged him or tempted him with gifts, insisting that the boy go down from here and run directly to the front line of the battle between Hulk and Super Abomination, so that they could film the scene up close and feast their eyes.
As for the boy, if he really believed them and left from this aerial platform...
He was then caught in the aftermath of the battle due to the risks of close-up filming.
They would only say that it was the boy's own choice, his own foolishness and ignorance, that he had needlessly lost his life, and that it had nothing to do with them.
What? You're saying we instigated it?
Hey, watch out or I'll sue you for defamation!
I was just joking, who knew he'd take it seriously!
The ugliness and ignorance of human nature were vividly displayed in the teenager's live broadcast room.
This further proves just how correct Sheriff George's judgment at the family dinner was!
So when the boy, who was busy filming the scene, noticed how absurd the comments on the screen had become, he was completely dumbfounded.
No, do you want to hear what you're saying?
I just want you to see for yourselves that Spider-Man and Hulk are both heroes who have been misunderstood and wronged.
How come in your mouths they seem to be omnipotent gods, capable of starting a revolution at any time and conquering the whole of America?
You guys must have eaten too many red bean buns and are getting lovesick!
Of course, under normal circumstances, the boy's live stream content clearly stepped into this category's red lines. Therefore, the live stream platform's official team originally intended to shut down the boy's live stream immediately.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the company's servers were suddenly hacked, and the company completely lost control.
After that, I received another call claiming to be from District 13, saying they wanted to temporarily requisition their servers.
After communicating with each other, they confirmed that the other party was not joking and indeed possessed officially authorized law enforcement authority.
That's how the boy's live stream was preserved.
After that, the District 13 agents who took over the server dared not be careless in order to prevent Spider-Man and Hulk, who had been forcibly elevated to godhood, from becoming public enemies in another way after the battle. They immediately began to work with clear division of labor.
Pushing the stream, controlling the flow, silencing... even tracking IPs, the official team stepped in to investigate, and conducted surprise offline visits to those guys who were clearly up to no good and were stirring up trouble everywhere, "friendly" inviting them back to District 13 for tea.
With swift and decisive action, the atmosphere in the live stream room was transformed in no time.
This allowed the boy to breathe a sigh of relief and continue filming the battlefield scenes diligently.
In that brief moment of delay, the situation on the battlefield had already turned one-sided.
Even with the addition of lizardman serum, which further amplified his various physical abilities.
However, because the Hulk in this timeline, under Riley's influence, did not receive Mr. Blue's "treatment," his power was not restricted in the slightest.
So much so that when faced with this being, who draws power from rage, they often only grow stronger with each battle, an unsolvable existence that is both a pure numerical monster and a mechanical monster.
The situation of Super Abomination has gradually changed from being able to handle things with ease to being evenly matched, and now it seems that it is struggling to defend itself.
Even the speed of recovery from injuries became increasingly slower due to the severe depletion of physical strength.
If this trend continues, even in a one-on-one fight, it's only a matter of time before Super Abomination is beaten to death by Hulk.
Unfortunately, Riley joined the battle after rescuing the people.
They have absolutely no sense of martial ethics; before each attack, they would first take a running start at a certain distance.
So that on top of the already terrifying power output, the inertia adds an extra terrifying impact of 200 kilometers per hour!
So much so that in this battle, Riley, who appeared to be the smallest and should have been at a disadvantage in terms of strength, was actually the one who was the most reckless when it came to fighting!
The sheer force of the blows was so real that even Hulk couldn't help but gasp in amazement! It further solidified his resolve to never provoke this black spiderweb-headed man again!
Not to mention Super Abomination... or rather, Bronsky!
He's really having a mental breakdown right now!
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't understand why, after injecting himself with two doses of super soldier serum, a vial of Hulk blood, and a dose of lizard serum, and investing the maximum resources in every aspect, he was still being beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back!
Wait a minute! This scene wasn't in the script I prepared beforehand!
Shouldn't it be me, after gaining immense power, trampling Hulk underfoot and wantonly ravaging him?
What exactly is this spiderweb-like head that's jumping around?!
Why is it even scarier than the Hulk? Don't come any closer—!!!
And if you're going to hit me, then hit me. But why are you always trying to pull out the thorns from my body?
Wake up! That's my weapon! Mine—!
After pulling it off, it didn't forget to stab me right in the back!
What, you want to skewer me into a big skewer and grill me later?!
Unfortunately, no matter how aggrieved and resentful Bronsky was at that moment, he could only give up all struggle and try to curl up in order to minimize the damage he suffered under this righteous two-on-one situation.
If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before Bronsky exhausts the last bit of strength in his body and is forcibly beaten back into human form.
But right at this critical moment, the sound of rapidly spinning propellers echoed through the vast night sky. Looking up, one could see a swarm of military helicopters filling the airspace.
It turned out that after leaving Mr. Blue, Betty, at Riley's prompting, called her father. And then, with Jade pinching her thigh and her genuinely pained, tearful accusation, General Ross, this doting father, instantly lost his temper!
Then, through her daughter's intermittent sobs, she learned that Bronsky had dared to use Betty as bait to lure Banner out, keeping it a secret from her. He even nearly turned Betty into a gamma monster in an attempt to force Banner to become the Hulk.
General Ross, who had always been focused on capturing the Hulk, suddenly realized that the Hulk wasn't as hateful as he had imagined.
Okay, okay, Bronsky, you beach rascal, you've got some fun...
To save you, I sacrificed two precious doses of super soldier serum!
Is this how you repay me?!
While his anger was at its peak, the old father, realizing the negative impact of military personnel turning into gamma monsters, naturally led his troops to deal with this fool who had made him lose face.
Upon seeing the army appear, Riley and Hulk exchanged a glance and tacitly chose to stop. After binding Super Abomination with spider silk, they quickly distanced themselves from him.
It's obvious that Riley did this out of consideration for Banner, to ease tensions between him and his future father-in-law, and by giving General Ross face by handing Bronsky over to him to deal with.
Just when Riley thought the matter was about to end,
The next second, several rockets, trailing fiery tails, headed straight for the battlefield.
However, the target of this sudden attack was not the Super Abomination who was lying on the ground, bruised and swollen beyond recognition.
Instead, their target is clear: Hulk and Riley!
