"Speaking of which, I almost forgot about you."
"If you hadn't relentlessly pursued the Hulk, then the Abomination wouldn't have come to New York City."
"If the Abomination hadn't come to New York City, he wouldn't have become the Abomination."
"That way, there wouldn't have been the battle between the Hulk and the Abomination."
"If that battle hadn't happened…"
"My sister wouldn't have died!"
Hawk stepped on General Ross, pinning him down, and murmured as he looked at General Ross beneath his foot.
The next second.
He smiled.
"It's fine, even if I forgot."
Hawk smiled slightly, looking at General Ross beneath his foot, and said softly, "Thank you for reminding me that you were involved in this."
General Ross, who had been struggling beneath Hawk's foot, stopped struggling upon hearing Hawk's words, perhaps realizing something.
Hawk's eyes were icy cold!
"Stop…"
"Pfft!"
As Hawk's right foot landed, blood-red, like watermelon juice, began to spread beneath Hawk's sky-blue athletic shoes, which were worth no more than thirty U.S. dollars but had been worn for many years and were greatly cherished.
Thaddeus Ross.
Dead!
Without any wasted words, Hawk had no intention of listening to General Ross's nonsense, and was even too lazy to give General Ross a chance to speak.
Just die.
Why so much nonsense?
Behind him.
Maria Hill, who had just rushed from the Triskelion and finally arrived at the scene, found her gaze fixed on the sky-blue athletic shoe that had crushed General Ross's head.
Hawk withdrew his right foot, wiped the sole back and forth on the military uniform discarded on the ground, then ignored the headless corpse in front of him and turned to look at the newcomer.
A clear outline, distinct features.
Sharp, eagle-like icy blue eyes.
A well-tailored, perfectly fitting dark S.H.I.E.L.D. combat uniform.
A name surfaced in Hawk's mind.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"Maria Hill!"
"…"
Maria Hill recovered and took a deep breath, meeting Hawk's gaze.
"Hawk."
"It's me."
Hawk, with his hands in his pockets, smiled slightly at Maria Hill, who dared to approach him alone despite his display of power.
"Is something wrong?"
"General Ross is already dead, next…"
"He deserved to die."
Hawk narrowed his eyes, interrupting Maria Hill's words: "Miss Hill, if your sister had died, what would you do?"
Maria Hill paused at his words, not replying, but instead looked back at Hawk.
"General Ross is dead, what do you plan to do next?"
"Next?"
"Yes."
Maria Hill nodded, meeting Hawk's gaze.
She had been cursing Nick Fury the entire way there.
They had clearly seen Hawk's display of power at the military Base, punching tanks and kicking fighter jets, from within S.H.I.E.L.D..
Logically, Nick Fury should have been the one to come here, not her.
Regardless of how Nick Fury was reinstated.
After his reinstatement, as long as a state of war wasn't declared, her authority was lower than Nick Fury's.
But what was the result?
Nick Fury had run off.
No answer to calls, no reply to texts, satellite positioning showed no one.
Good heavens.
Well, there was no choice. With the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. uncontactable, Maria Hill had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
However…
She was now certain of one thing.
There must be a connection between Nick Fury's reinstatement and Thaddeus Ross precisely finding Hawk, perhaps Nick Fury leaked Hawk's information to General Ross in exchange for General Ross's support for his reinstatement.
Too bad.
Now General Ross was dead.
Maria Hill thought to herself, glancing at the headless corpse beneath Hawk's foot, but quickly averted her gaze.
For no other reason.
It was too disgusting.
Hawk, on the other hand, heard Maria Hill's "next" and smiled, shaking his head, then said with a smile, "Miss Hill, what happens next isn't up to me, but up to you all."
Maria Hill looked at Hawk upon hearing this.
"General Ross is dead, and you can leave too."
"Not enough."
"What?"
"Hand over the Abomination."
Hawk shook his head expressionlessly.
He understood Maria Hill's words.
General Ross was dead, and he could leave, and today's events would be treated as if they never happened.
But…
How could that be?
General Ross was dead, but the Abomination wasn't.
Hawk glanced at the important figures at the entrance of the command building, who were neither coming in nor going out, and said expressionlessly, "Still one minute. Either you give me the Abomination, or in one minute, I'll come for him."
As soon as the words fell.
Those important figures stirred one after another.
"Damn it, where's the Abomination?"
"In the underground cell."
"Release him, release him."
"Quick, release him."
"No time, thirty seconds left."
"…"
Hawk listened to the crying voices of these important figures, scoffed, and looked at Maria Hill standing in front of him, shaking his head with some exasperation: "I dare say, those who supported General Ross's attack on me definitely include these people. They probably acted very aggressively, thinking I was just an ant, but now that I've come knocking, these people are cowards, afraid I'll kill them like ants."
Maria Hill stared at Hawk.
"Are you going to kill them?"
"Depends on the situation."
"For example…"
"If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If others offend me, I will offend them."
Hawk looked at Maria Hill and said with a smile, "Miss Hill, look, you are standing perfectly fine in front of me right now."
Just as he was speaking.
Thump!
The ground suddenly vibrated, and then the earth shattered. A massive creature, uglier than the Hulk, rumbled out from beneath the ground.
It was the Abomination.
But…
As soon as the cell's electrical lock failed, the Abomination, without thinking, burst through the cell and returned to the surface. Just as he was about to roar and declare his return, he saw the burning armored vehicles, exploding tanks, shattered fighter jets, and countless ruins and corpses around him, and he froze in place.
What's going on?
Is it the end of the World?
The Abomination was a little confused, but after only a moment of daze, his gaze was drawn to a small ant-like figure not far away, who had his back to him.
The next second.
A cruel smile appeared on the Abomination's face.
If the Hulk took the path of self-defense, then the Abomination took the path of wanton destruction.
After all, the Hulk's host was a scientist.
And the Abomination's host was a soldier, especially since the Abomination was born with the desire to become stronger and stronger.
So…
Abomination, attack!
"Roar!"
The Abomination roared, seeing the small ant-like figure not far away, who had his back to him, remain unmoved. The accumulated anger from being imprisoned and constantly experimented on erupted. After a few steps, he took a huge leap, a ferocious smile on his face, planning to crush the small ant in his eyes in the most brutal way possible.
Crush him to death.
Hawk remained unmoved, still looking at Maria Hill in front of him.
Maria Hill's peripheral vision caught the sight of the Abomination, who had already leaped into the air not far away, pressing down like a dark cloud over a city.
The pressure from the Abomination's descent was like a strong wind. Bang, bang, bang, the already unstable ground cracked and fractured.
Maria Hill also felt this immense pressure, forcing herself not to kneel under the oppressive force.
But…
She also did not retreat, and was looking at Hawk.
Eyes met.
A fierce wind howled.
Hawk looked at Maria Hill in front of him, feeling the approaching fierce wind, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
The next second.
He turned.
He punched.
Boom!
The Abomination's chest instantly exploded and he was sent flying backward, crashing into a burning tank with a loud boom, and then, along with the tank, continued to roll backward with a rumble.
Until—
Boom!
The Abomination's massive body crashed onto the ruins, followed by three burning tanks that had been dragged along with him, falling from the sky.
Before Fire, all beings are equal.
The Abomination, his massive body sprawled on the ruins, was instantly engulfed in flames, and soon sizzling sounds of scorching could be heard.
Abomination!
Dead!
Appearing meant death.
Still without any wasted words, with just one punch, the Abomination was gone.
He had even killed the Hulk, so if he kept an Abomination, who couldn't even beat the Hulk, in his eyes, and even fought him for three hundred rounds, what would that look like?
Would it be not taking the Hulk seriously?
Or not taking his Little Universe seriously?
Unlike the Hulk.
Until the Abomination's massive body was engulfed in flames, the Abomination did not revert to his original form.
After all…
Bruce Banner was over-radiated by gamma rays, thus giving birth to the Hulk.
But the Abomination was Emil Blonsky, who directly injected gamma serum into his own main artery.
Simply put, the Abomination had already merged with Emil Blonsky, becoming one and inseparable.
The Abomination was Emil Blonsky.
Emil Blonsky was the Abomination.
After turning and throwing a punch, Hawk didn't bother to look at the Abomination again, and continued to look at Maria Hill in front of him.
He was more interested in Maria Hill than the Abomination.
Maria Hill's mind replayed the scene of Hawk effortlessly killing the Abomination with a single punch, but she maintained a calm expression as she looked at Hawk.
"What next?"
"What do you think?"
Hawk put his hands back in his pockets, his gaze calm as he met Maria Hill's eyes.
Maria Hill met Hawk's gaze, her thoughts rapidly turning in her mind.
"The Hulk is dead, the Abomination is dead, and General Ross is also dead. The three people connected to your sister's death are all dead now."
"Yes."
"Go back."
"Haha."
Hawk burst out laughing at Maria Hill's words.
His laughter was mocking.
Maria Hill's heart skipped a beat.
The important figures huddled nearby, neither advancing nor retreating, trembled even more at Hawk's laughter.
