Superman Marvel Adventures

However, at this critical moment, Adam had no choice but to use this ability again. As Adam's attention became more focused than ever before, countless different kinds of sounds began to assault his ears almost instantly, causing Adam to show a slightly uncomfortable expression. However, this time, it did not distract him. Instead, it made his attention even more focused, and he carefully distinguished these sounds. If Adam did not have a super brain and super intelligence, he might have been turned into an idiot by these chaotic sounds in an instant.

As time slowly passed, Adam's face changed from a ferocious expression to a deathly pallor, but his eyes revealed his great joy. Indeed, he was very happy because he had finally found Nicky, bound and arguing with two kidnappers, in the storeroom not far from Paris's resting room after a long search. From their argument, Adam already knew a lot, but he was also secretly relieved that he had used this unstable ability despite the danger.

Why do you say that?

The reason lies in the abilities of these two people. One of them can distort visible light to achieve invisibility, while the other can block sound. No wonder Adam couldn't find any clues before.

Moreover, judging from what the two men were saying, the mastermind had unilaterally reneged on the agreement, claiming they had failed to complete the mission and therefore wouldn't pay the remaining amount. This enraged the two men even more, and they immediately realized that the person seemed to want to use Adam to kill them.

Adam shook his slightly dizzy head, stood up, and said, "Hmph, it seems that finding the mastermind behind today's events will be difficult. However, this has nothing to do with me. Hmph, the nine foxes will stay here today!" After saying that, he disappeared with a whoosh. When he reappeared, Adam had already rescued Nicky, then placed Nicky in Paris's room, and disappeared again.

After Paris returned to the lounge, she waited for news from Adam, but there was no response. She was very worried about her sister's safety and paced back and forth in the room several times, unable to calm down and rest. Just then, she suddenly felt that there was someone else in her room.

Paris turned around and saw Adam holding her sister Nikki on the bed. Nikki's eyes were closed, and she seemed to have fainted, which made Paris's heart jump again. She asked, "Adam, what's wrong with my sister?"

Adam looked up and left only one sentence: "Don't worry, she's fine. She'll wake up in a while. I'm going to catch those guys. Lock the doors and windows and don't open them for now!" Then he disappeared.

Ps:

One update today.

Chapter 172 Another Battle

After rescuing Nicky, Adam took her back to her sister and immediately left Paris's room, heading to the spot where the seven foxes were frozen. He had just seen the remaining two foxes rush to the others after discovering Nicky's rescue; clearly, they had kidnapped Nicky to distract Adam.

Adam's sneeze, while not as powerful as a natural sneeze, was still more than those people could handle. Therefore, they couldn't escape the ice, which was why Adam could leave them in the hotel corridor without a second thought. Of course, he also had the idea of ​​using them to lure out the two hidden foxes.

Both sides had their own calculations, and whether they could succeed ultimately depended on their individual strengths. After all, even the most perfect plan and the most powerful force are powerless against such a challenge. Adam knew this, and so did the nine foxes. Adam had fought the foxes once and knew that their abilities were extremely strange, but not insurmountable. The foxes, however, could only gamble—gamble on their own luck and whether the combined strength of the nine of them could make Adam back down.

Thus, when Adam arrived at the place where the seven foxes had been frozen, he found that three of them had already been rescued. They were preparing to rescue the others under Silver Fox's orders, but Adam had already arrived, forcing them to stop what they were doing and focus all their attention on dealing with Adam. After all, the feeling that Adam had given Silver Fox and the others was too powerful. He had frozen them all with a single sneeze, a power they could never have imagined.

"What exactly do you want? We haven't succeeded yet, so why do you have to arrest us? Besides, you should know that no prison can handle people like us! How about we compromise? If you let us go, we will never set foot in New York City again!" Silver Fox looked at Adam with a serious expression and made his suggestion.

However, Adam was completely uninterested in Silver Fox's suggestion, saying indifferently, "Since you've entered my city intending to commit a crime, I can't let you go. Besides, you almost killed my brother. If you surrender obediently, I won't do anything to you. If you refuse, hmph, although I don't kill people, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer terribly without dying!"

The fox capable of distorting visible light is called the Enchanted Fox—that's just my translation, of course; don't take the word "Enchanted Fox" too seriously. Getting back to the point, after hearing Adam's words, the Enchanted Fox scoffed, "You call yourself a superhero? Hmph, I think you'd be better off called a Super Bully."

Adam gave a sarcastic smile and said, "As my enemies, you can call me a bully! That's your freedom!"

Enraged, the fox spirit retorted, "You! What do you want? Don't think we're really afraid of you!"

The other fox, Sound Fox, who also possesses sonic abilities, sneered and said, "Hmph. Don't think we're afraid of you just because you're a superhero. We'll fight to the death!"

Adam clapped his hands and said, "You've got guts, huh. If I were weaker than you, would you have let me go? No way. Don't be so quick to deny it; the hotel staff and bodyguards you killed are the best proof. But thankfully you had some conscience and didn't kill the hotel customers, you only knocked them unconscious. Otherwise, I might have broken my vow!"

Silver Fox said calmly, "Since we can't reach an agreement, let's settle this once and for all! Today, I'll show you why we're called the Nine Fox Mercenaries! Attack!" As he finished speaking, a strange ripple emanated from his body, and Adam instantly realized that he could see nothing at all.

Adam lost his sight—well, he simply couldn't see anything; it seems like the two statements are the same. And Adam wasn't afraid after he lost his sight; he was only astonished.

"I see. So you're combining the ability to create illusions with the ability to control visible light? You're quite skilled. So what's the second step? I remember some of you can control your voice, so is the next step to take away my voice?" Adam casually stated his guess.

Upon hearing Adam's words, Sound Fox sneered and said, "That's right, this will be the last sentence you hear in this world!" After saying that, it activated its ability, plunging Adam into boundless silence.

In the silence, Adam couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, 'As expected, they're quite a capable team. It's a pity if they weren't mercenaries—no, it should be said that if they hadn't attacked Tony, perhaps we could have been friends.' Just as he finished his thought, Adam felt himself being struck hard by a surge of energy and slammed against the wall behind him.

"Your abilities are indeed eye-opening, hehe, but you underestimate me too much. I am known as Superman, how could I be so easily defeated by nobodies like you!" Unable to hear, Adam subconsciously used his loudest voice, causing Purple Fox, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack, to cough up a mouthful of blood.

This made Purple Fox extremely frustrated and angry. She had been easily injured by Adam time and time again. Although Adam's action just now was unintentional, the petty Purple Fox still blamed Adam for it. Therefore, her anger had finally erupted.

Instead of simply using her ultraviolet shockwave ability, she took out a very long and thin sword made of some unknown material, roared as she approached Adam, and plunged the sword, which was flashing with purple light, into Adam's eye. Clearly, she hated Adam to the core and wanted to take his life with one strike.

However, Purple Fox underestimated the strength of Adam's body. Even with the eyes, which are considered the most vulnerable part of the human body, Purple Fox's powerful attack could not injure Adam. Just as the longsword struck Adam's eyes, Adam grabbed Purple Fox's arm.

Immediately, Silver Fox's angry roar, "Purple Fox, watch out!" reached Purple Fox's ears. Unfortunately, it was too late for Purple Fox at this moment, because Adam's large hands tightly gripped Purple Fox's arm, revealing a cruel and wicked smile. Adam threw Purple Fox to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Just as Purple Fox was being slammed into the ground by Adam's powerful force and was seriously injured, the ground suddenly became very soft, dispersing most of Adam's power and easing Purple Fox's serious injury.

Adam felt as if his force had hit cotton, and let out a soft "Heh," saying, "What an interesting ability. You foxes seem rather intriguing. However, you think you can defeat me so easily? You're dreaming! And do you really think you can protect the stinky fox in my hands? Hmph, you might be able to make the ground or walls soft, but I'd like to see if you can make your partner's body soft too." With that, Adam's free hand suddenly struck out, hitting the purple fox hard in the waist. With a crisp crack, the purple fox's spine was broken by Adam's punch.

When Sound Fox saw this, she couldn't believe that the woman in Adam's arms, whose body was limp and who was constantly spitting blood, was the same Purple Fox who had just been enjoying the pleasures of the human world with her. She roared, "Ahhhhh! No, Adam Stark, I'll kill you!!!" With that, she fired a sonic energy ball from both hands and threw it at Adam.

Although Adam could no longer see or hear the enemy, his sense of danger remained. So when Sound Fox's attack was about to hit him, Adam threw the purple fox away and dodged the attack. He then activated his X-ray vision, accurately located Sound Fox, and punched it.

Indeed, Adam's X-ray vision allowed him to see his opponent. As for why he didn't attack immediately, it was merely a battle strategy. Although Adam kept saying things like "you are no match for me," he knew that if he revealed all his cards from the start, and failed to capture all his opponents or let one or two escape, there would be even bigger trouble. After all, Adam didn't want to be on guard against someone who might retaliate against him 365 days a year. Although he wasn't afraid himself, if his opponent really wanted to retaliate, they would definitely target Tony, which was not what Adam wanted to see. Therefore, he pretended that his vision was also being controlled by his opponent, and only after figuring out his opponent's abilities did he strike unexpectedly, hoping to defeat them in one blow.

Ps:

First update!

Chapter 173 Complete Victory, Returning Home

Adam's unexpected attack caught Silver Fox off guard. He hadn't expected that Adam could still see them after he and Enchantress Fox activated their abilities together, which slowed his reaction.

"Impossible?! How can you still see us?" Filled with despair, Silver Fox cried out.

But Adam ignored him and punched him in the back, determined to cripple his opponent. Just as Adam's fist was about to make contact with Silver Fox's body, a transparent energy shield appeared around Silver Fox, protecting him from Adam's attack.

It was another one of the nine foxes who made the move. Adam snorted coldly and no longer held back his strength, kicking the protective shield with all his might. There was a sound of glass shattering, the protective shield on the silver fox shattered, and then the fox coughed up blood, stood up, and was kicked a long distance away. Its vision went black and it lost consciousness.

On the other side, the fox, who had been using all her strength to activate her protective shield, suddenly turned pale and trembled violently the moment the shield shattered. Pointing at Adam, she exclaimed in disbelief, "So strong!!! How could it be so powerful? Pfft!!!" After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The other foxes were enraged upon seeing this, shouting in unison, "Boss, Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother?! Damn it! Adam Stark, we will never let you get away with this!"

Adam smirked, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Oh, you don't actually think you can get out of here safely? You overestimate yourselves and underestimate me. Hmph, three of the nine foxes have already been dealt with. So, let's start with you, Sound Fox!" With that, he moved almost instantly, appearing behind Sound Fox. His left fist clenched and slammed into the fox's back. After breaking Purple Fox's spine with that punch, Adam seemed to have developed a liking for this style of attack—though this was merely to vent his anger on Tony. That's what he told himself.

After a brief period of grief, Sound Fox and the others knew that Adam would not let them go. Therefore, in order to ensure that even one of them could leave alive, they had focused all their attention. Sound Fox, in particular, who could control sound, had already heard the sounds that Adam made when he disappeared. Therefore, he was not shocked, confused, or panicked when Adam attacked him from behind. Instead, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned around and emitted a sound wave that was inaudible to ordinary people.

Adam's main reason for ambushing Sound Fox was that he knew the only thing here that could affect him—specifically, Sound Fox—was the one who could temporarily incapacitate him. Therefore, Adam wanted to eliminate him immediately. Unfortunately, Sound Fox, a battle-hardened mercenary, was extremely cautious due to the fear of death. Adam's attack failed, and he was instead overwhelmed by Sound Fox's sonic attacks, forced to kneel on the ground in discomfort.

Upon seeing this, the white fox's face lit up slightly with joy. "Good opportunity! Sound Fox, show me! Watch me!" With that, it released the same strange energy ball that had trapped Adam last time, preparing to bind Adam again.

Upon hearing this, Adam roared, "Trying to trap me?! No way!" His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and a beam of heat shot towards the white fox who was activating her power. Having witnessed their previous encounter, Adam knew that the white fox needed time to activate her ability, and that she would be unable to move during that time.

Seeing Adam's attack, the burly middle-aged man among the nine foxes roared, "White Fox, watch out!" Then, his entire body emitted a golden light, transforming into metal, and he stood between the White Fox and Adam, shielding them from Adam's heat rays with his own body.

The heat ray struck the man directly in the chest, causing him to stagger back a step. He gritted his teeth and held on. His entire body was bright red from Adam's heat ray, and he roared through gritted teeth, "I won't let you hurt White Fox! Open up!!! Ah!!!" He then took a step forward.

Sound Fox breathed a sigh of relief when it saw Adam's heat beam blocked by the burly man. Then, looking at Adam firing the beam at the burly man, it snorted and its sonic attack became even more powerful. Of course, as its power increased, its face also became very pale. It was clear that it was overdrawing its power and only thinking about defeating Adam.

Of course, if he could, Sound Fox actually wanted to kill Adam, but he found that he couldn't kill Adam at all, so he chose to fight to the death to defeat Adam. But Adam was not so easy to defeat. In response to Sound Fox's attack, he only groaned and a trace of blood flowed from his ear, which then disappeared. Thanks to Adam's powerful regenerative ability, his eardrum, which had just been shattered by Sound Fox, grew back.

Adam fired a heat beam, saying slowly and deliberately, "Your biggest mistake was not escaping while I was dizzy! Get out of my way!!!" He then suddenly increased the output of the heat beam, and the burly man let out a miserable scream as Adam's heat beam pierced his shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground as before.

Adam managed to remove the heat rays at the last moment; otherwise, they would have pierced not his shoulder, but his heart!

The burly man was shot through the shoulder by Adam and collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance. This greatly surprised the other foxes, and also caused the Sound Fox to collapse from exhaustion, unable to continue its sonic attacks.

Adam waved his right hand, and a steel ball instantly exceeded the speed of sound, piercing the leg of a fox that was just about to escape. He then slowly stood up and said, "Hehe, now it seems you no longer have the ability to hinder me. Oh, by the way, this white fox's ability seems quite powerful. Unfortunately, you all only have one ability. If you encountered an ordinary mutant or ability user, you might be able to defeat them by uniting. But unfortunately, you've encountered me, so you'll stay here this time!" After saying that, he disappeared again with a whoosh.

Actually, these nine foxes weren't exactly weak; after all, anyone who could carve out a niche for themselves in the dangerous mercenary world never had an easy mission. Unfortunately for them, they encountered Superman, someone with many abilities...

They are like characters from UG. Therefore, it can be said that their loss was not entirely unjust, after all, they were the first people to make Adam bleed, and perhaps they can be proud of that.

What happened next was quite simple. Each of the nine foxes, when alone, was only a mutant below level three. Only when they worked together could they unleash their full power. However, Adam had already taken control of the most crucial members of the nine foxes, leaving the rest with only support abilities. Although their fighting skills were indeed quite good, these abilities were useless against Adam. Therefore, within just a few minutes, Adam had crippled all the remaining foxes one by one.

After Adam finished dealing with these people, he wasn't as happy as he had imagined. Looking at the foxes lying on the ground, suffering a fate worse than death, he muttered, "Huh? What just happened? I almost couldn't resist killing them."

Just then, Athena's voice appeared in Adam's ear: "Ah, Master, we have finally been able to contact you. Christine has returned and is waiting for you to come back."

Hearing Athena's words, Adam came to his senses and said, "It's okay. These people lying down are all people with special abilities. That guy's ability is to block all communication devices within a certain range. The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange and wonderful abilities."

Athena, upon hearing this, exclaimed in realization, "Oh, I see. It seems my idea was correct."

After listening, Adam asked, "Oh? What are your thoughts?"

Athena said calmly, "I'm going to learn magic from Christine because I feel that if I continue like this, I'll be of no use to my master at all, and I don't like this."

Adam laughed after hearing this, "Actually, you know Athena, I see you as more than just an assistant. You don't need to do this. I won't abandon you."

Athena shook her head and said, "No, it's precisely because my master has never abandoned me that I must become stronger. Otherwise, I would have no reason to exist. Alright, master, listen to me this time. By the way, should I notify S.H.I.E.L.D. to clean up the mess? Master, you seemed to have gone a little too far. If they don't heal quickly, they might end up meeting Satan."

Adam then remembered the nine foxes on the ground and said calmly, "No need to notify S.H.I.E.L.D., just notify the police below. I have destroyed their abilities, and they are just ordinary people now."

Chapter 174 Adam's Abnormality

Adam exchanged a few words with Athena, then, hearing the police approach, he flew out of the window, leaving a note behind. The note essentially said that these people were seriously injured and needed emergency treatment, but their vertebrae should not be repaired, as that was the source of their powers, etc.

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, Adam flew straight home because he had heard from Athena that Christine had returned and was eager to see her and see if she was injured.

Actually, he had originally planned to ask Athena about these things, but for some reason, Athena suddenly said goodbye to Adam halfway and disappeared. No matter how much Adam called out to her, she didn't respond, which made Adam feel a little helpless. However, he was glad that he knew that Athena was alright, otherwise he might have been even more anxious.

Adam flew for a few minutes and returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Christine sitting in the living room with a smile on her face. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Christine, are you alright? You really worried me to death! You actually blocked Athena's signal, and I couldn't find you at all."

Christine laughed after hearing this and said, "I'm fine. I blocked Athena's signal so that you wouldn't interfere. If you hadn't helped me every time, I don't think I would have ever grown. As for that magician's strength, although he was relatively powerful, I still defeated him with my divine power. But unfortunately, in the end, a demon god from hell rescued him."

Adam was startled upon hearing this and went to Christine's side to ask, "The Demon God? Did that guy really go to the legendary Hell? Did the Demon God give you any trouble?"

Christine shook her head and said, "Of course I'm fine, hehe. Actually, I don't know why this demon god didn't attack me when he rescued that magician. But even so, the divine power I finally gathered has been completely used up, and I won't be able to use it for the next few months."

Adam went over and hugged Christine, saying, "You silly girl, don't be so reckless in the future. It's okay that you can't use your divine power, I'll protect you."

Christine kissed Adam and laughed, "Hehe, I know. Who knows why those powerful beings suddenly became interested in Earth? Just don't do it next time."

Adam pinched Christine's nose and said, "You're just like a little kid. By the way, what's wrong with Athena? I called her but she didn't respond, and she didn't come out to greet me when I came back. That's really strange."

Christine knew why Athena was acting this way, because it was because Christine had teased Athena. However, Christine didn't intend to reveal this secret. She just smiled and said, "Maybe she felt she couldn't help you much, so she was a little annoyed with herself. When I first came back, she even said she wanted to learn magic."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Yes, I just heard her mention that too, but I don't know if she can learn magic. After all, magic is a mysterious thing, and most importantly, Athena isn't human."

Christine shook her head and said, "That's not what I think. I think Athena mainly wants to learn magic related to alchemy and magic circles, because I think she can use those. If Athena uses circuit boards as magic circles and her own electricity as energy, she might actually be able to use some magic. After all, magic is just about arranging magical elements to use those elements."

Adam raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in Athena."

Christine smiled and said, "Because I believe that miracles can happen when a person sets their own life goals and strives for them."

Adam was slightly taken aback. He said, "I see. Well then, I'll look forward to seeing what kind of miracle Athena will create."

Unbeknownst to Adam, Athena had already heard him speak. With slightly reddened eyes, she softly replied, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely succeed. Just like Sister Christine said, I have confirmed my life goal. Hehe, although I am not human, it is to follow you to the last day of my life. I will fight for it and create miracles that will amaze you!" After saying this, she disappeared again. This time, Athena had truly left Adam's house and returned to her main system, beginning to calculate something—something that could improve Athena's own performance.

Nothing more was said that night. When Adam and Christine woke up the next morning, the newspapers had already given a brief report on the previous day's news, pointing out, to varying degrees, that Adam had been too violent during the hostage rescue, resulting in serious injuries to the kidnappers, each with shattered vertebrae, which was unbecoming of a superhero. Adam and Christine happened to see this news on television while they were eating.

Adam paid no attention to any of this, but Christine looked at him with concern and asked, "Adam, are you alright?"

Adam was taken aback and asked, "Honey, what's wrong? I'm fine."

Christine stared at Adam and asked, "Then why did you break those people's vertebrae? Don't you hate violence?"

Adam shrugged and said, "This isn't my fault. It's because those guys are all superhumans infected with some kind of radioactive meteorite or something. To subdue them, you have to break their vertebrae, otherwise they might mutate."

This is actually just Adam's self-justification. Of course, in Adam's previous life, she did encounter humans infected by such a cosmic virus. This cosmic virus specifically burrows into the human vertebrae. If it weren't for the damage to the structure of the vertebrae, it would be impossible to defeat these infected people, because they would become stronger and stronger the more times you defeated them, making it endless.
