Even from half a street away, Xinian could hear the girl's angry shouts behind him.
"This isn't my fault." hope Nian gave a wry smile, looked down at her obviously bulging skirt, and found a corner on the top floor of a building to hide in.
A moment later, Spider-Woman swung across a nearby high-rise building on her webs and sped away.
"Now, I can finally go home."
With her skirt now calm, hope Nian exhaled and stepped out from the shadows of the building, sword in hand.
Look around.
By observing the nearby landmarks, Xinian quickly determined that he was in the area where the inner and outer city of Washington, D.C. were located, more than ten kilometers away from the downtown area of his home.
God knows how he got through it.
"Should I jump back?" hope Nian felt a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Just as he was about to head back home, an unexpected incident occurred!
Boom!
The building where Xinian was located suddenly trembled.
"What is this?" hope Nian initially thought it was his imagination, but the next second, the building he was standing in shook noticeably again!
Xinian quickly realized what was happening and looked around at the city buildings.
Not only the building he was standing in, but also the surrounding high-rise buildings experienced noticeable tremors!
Is this an earthquake?
hope Nian had just come up with the idea when he quickly dismissed it.
wrong!
His senses and consciousness now surpass human perception, allowing him to perceive things that humans cannot normally discern. This earthquake doesn't seem to originate from beneath the city's surface; it seems to have arisen from a specific location on the surface of the surrounding urban area!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Every second or every few seconds, the surrounding city and buildings would tremble slightly, as if a giant hammer was violently striking the ground!
"It's not very far from here," hope Nian murmured to himself, standing on the top floor of the building, gazing at a section of the city streets below.
It was as if he was verifying his extraordinary perception and judgment.
Boom!!
In Xinian's view, a large building in the city area two or three kilometers away suddenly collapsed with a loud bang!
The tranquility and peace that the city was originally immersed in under the winter night was directly shattered by some unknown terrifying thing!
And this is just the beginning.
bang bang bang! ! !
Boom boom boom—
The deafening sounds of gunfire and artillery shells followed one after another, dense and without gaps, like thunder in a summer storm, erupting from the center of the collapsed building!
Flames shot into the sky, quickly spreading in all directions and setting several bustling streets and the city sky ablaze.
"Roar--!"
From the city battlefield, which instantly turned into a corner of purgatory, a chilling roar resounded. The sound was definitely not from humans or any animals, and it directly suppressed the carpet bombing of modern artillery shells!
"what is that?"
hope Nian opened his eyes wide and looked at the center of the flames and smoke in the distant city. Watching the huge yellow-green shadow flash by, he seemed to see the true dark side of this world!
Chapter 9, Hatred Online
The other side of the world.
It refers to things hidden in the shadows where sunlight cannot reach, things that are the opposite of the obvious surface of the world and cannot be truly understood by ordinary people.
The other side of this world naturally refers to things that transcend ordinary human cognition, are closely related to the extraordinary, and are even born from the extraordinary.
Superheroes are one of the representative products of this genre.
Sixteen years after being reincarnated into this world, Xi Nian, despite having learned about the birth and legendary journey of the first human superhero—Captain America—from his elementary school history books, and having heard from those around him about the Dark Knight of Gotham City—Batman—who had guarded against evil for over a decade.
Despite the fact that three years ago, the billionaire playboy who inherited Stark Industries created the Iron Man suit and became the tech king of New York.
A year and a half ago, Superman, a Kryptonian who grew up on Earth, powerfully repelled a Kryptonian warship from outer space and became a "god among men".
Even though news reports about superheroes are everywhere, and related gossip is different every day.
Xinian always felt that these extraordinary things on the other side of the world were very far away from him.
This sense of remoteness is like that of his past life. Having always lived in a peaceful superpower, although he occasionally learned from the news about modern wars constantly taking place in some small countries and regions on the other side of the world, his understanding of this was very vague, unreal, and difficult to empathize with.
The distance between ordinary humans and the other side of the world is far more brutal than that between slaves and nobles in ancient times.
After all, even if it's the so-called "rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation," whether it's technology or mutation, the probability of crossing the threshold of normal cognition and reaching or possessing extraordinary abilities is extremely low, one in ten thousand among the human population.
Many years ago, hope Nian gave up on becoming extraordinary and settled into the ordinary life of a normal person.
Until tonight.
hope Nian first unexpectedly gained inexplicable supernatural power from his aunt, then encountered a female Spider-Man with spider abilities outside the city, and now he sees a green monster fighting a fierce battle with an elite army.
He had never so keenly peered into, or even stepped halfway into, the other side of this world as he had tonight.
"So, there are so many extraordinary things hidden in the city I've always lived in?" hope Nian's lips curled into a bitter smile, feeling that his worldview had been completely overturned.
However, considering that the most extraordinary person among them was his aunt who had lived with him for more than ten years, these things didn't seem like such a big deal—just kidding.
hope Nian was shocked to see fierce fighting taking place in the city not far away. Reinforced concrete buildings collapsed and crumbled one after another, and artillery fire spread to every inch of the streets. The frost and snow falling from the night sky evaporated before they even hit the ground, and bullet casings and gravel replaced the snow, falling everywhere on the streets.
However, it was the human army that was consistently at a significant disadvantage!
The heart of the city's battleground.
A Gatling gun, its barrel glowing red-hot and spitting fire, was mounted on a specially designed military vehicle. A dense barrage of bullets, like a torrent of steel, concentrated its force into the deepest part of the swirling flames and smoke. There stood a giant, three or four meters tall, its muscles like lumps of iron, its hard, terrifying, pale skeleton protruding, completely naked except for a pair of shorts—a green, gigantic monster.
It was like a tangible embodiment of terror and extreme evil.
One glance at it is enough to send shivers down your spine, and an endless chill rises from your tailbone!
It also has a very fitting name.
Disgusting!!!
Facing a hail of bullets, Abomination bounced back and forth between buildings and ruins in the street with an agility and speed completely disproportionate to its bulky body. In its rapid movement, it also displayed a power that could shake the earth and the surrounding city!
Smash the ground, shatter the walls!
Ignoring the bullets that struck its body without even breaking the skin, the abomination landed with thunderous force on a specially made military vehicle, crushing the soldiers and the vehicle into flattened metal. It then casually picked up an abandoned taxi from the road, lifted it overhead like a sandbag, and hurled it twenty or thirty meters away, striking another military vehicle full of soldiers.
At this moment, modern cars are like children's toys!
boom!!
A rocket, trailing flames, hurtled toward the Abomination at breakneck speed. The Abomination raised its arm to shield itself, and the explosion instantly engulfed and enveloped its body. The aftershocks shattered the windows of buildings on both sides of the street!
But, but!
What happened next filled all the surviving soldiers with despair.
On the ground where the rocket launcher had exploded, high-temperature flames swept backward along the white skeleton and green muscles, revealing a hideous and terrifying grin that resembled a demon, and an undamaged body.
The battle that followed—no, it should be called a one-sided massacre—was still ongoing!
Xinian frowned as he watched this scene from afar.
The presence of this green and yellow monster has given him a great sense of crisis!
He can now fall from the 10th floor without getting hurt, but if he encounters this monster... he might die!
His extraordinary senses made Xinian's judgment extremely sharp; this monster was a dangerous being capable of killing him in his current state!
"It's already very late. Just pretend you didn't see it and go home. Your aunt will worry."
hope Nian looked away, unwilling to look at the army being brutally slaughtered in the distance.
He never had the idea of becoming a superhero; he only fantasized about the abilities of superheroes.
As for "With great power comes great responsibility".
If there were no danger to his life, hope Nian would be very willing to help, but now it's a situation where he has to risk his life!
Having died once in his previous life, Xinian cherished his life immensely. In this life, the only person he would give his life to protect was his aunt.
Gwen is the second person.
Just as Xinian was making up his mind to leave, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing through the gaps between the towering buildings opposite, swinging on a spider web as it flew towards the city area two kilometers away, which had become a battlefield.
It was the Spider-Woman I had just encountered on the rooftop.
"Hey, don't go that way!" hope Nian's heart skipped a beat. From the brief exchange just now, he knew very well that Spider-Woman was no match for Abomination!
The disparity in strength between them is too great!
The only likely outcome for Spider-Woman in the past would be death!
But it was too late to stop it.
hope Nian could only watch helplessly as the slender, petite figure of Spider-Woman ventured deeper into the decaying city area filled with the sounds of gunfire.
"I'm sorry. I only have one life, and I can only use it on those two people at most!"
hope Nian gritted his teeth, decided not to read any further, turned around and leaped away in the opposite direction from the city battlefield!
Chapter 10, God is Dead
Less than ten minutes.
An entire well-armed modern U.S. military unit was wiped out by the abominations. Humanity wailed, flames raged, and a once prosperous and peaceful corner of the city was transformed into a living hell.
The abomination was like a monster crawling out of hell, born for slaughter. Thick blood seeped from the flattened vehicle body beneath its paws. It looked down at its clenched fists, feeling the unparalleled superhuman power in its body, and its face revealed a mad and satisfied ferocious smile.
"No, don't kill me..."
The gun in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp 'thud'. The only surviving American soldier stood in front of the ruined building, looking in horror at his comrades who had been torn apart in an instant. His inner spirit and fighting will seemed to have been completely crushed at this moment, and his legs lost all strength as he knelt on the blood-soaked ground.
Along with it, his lifelong faith was also shattered.
