Lord of Cinder in American Comics

When Ash returned to the Control Bureau, the casings for the first batch of charged rifles had already begun to be assembled.

When Anderson, the base's head steward, heard that Ash had sent out another batch of equipment, he reluctantly classified a large amount of supplies as damage from the exercise.

As for why an exercise could result in the loss of dozens of people and their entire equipment, that's not Anderson's place to explain. The Pentagon employs a large number of accountants specifically to address such matters. They are masters at stalling until others forget about things, like those goats—their whereabouts are still unclear.

After much deliberation, Ash decided to find an outside helper for the Bureau of Control, since someone needed to be at the forefront in the fight against these Cybertronian robots.

In the Abomination's cell, although his broken spine had not fully healed, Ash saw that Abomination was already able to sit up from his hospital bed.

At that moment, Abomination looked at the gleaming detector and the undisguised explosives, curled his lip, and lay back down.

After the previous battle, Abomination realized that he could only fight against a small portion of the weapons. The mountain of explosives in front of him was enough to send him off the surface of the earth.

Ash walked over to the Abomination, casually flipped through its test report, and asked, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

"Tsk!"

Abomination turned her head away, refusing to acknowledge Ash.

"You've almost fully recovered. Based on your physical condition, you'll be able to move around freely after tonight. Do you have any plans?"

Upon hearing the time it would take for his body to heal, a glimmer of light appeared in Hate's eyes, only to vanish instantly. In his mind, the military had its own methods for dealing with disobedient soldiers like himself.

Although he was an enhanced soldier, he posed no threat whatsoever to a place like the Bureau of Control. Furthermore, the fact that it wasn't General Ross who came to see him meant that Ross had already given up on him.

At this moment, thinking about the orders he had disobeyed, Bronsky had already decided where he would be buried.

After waiting for a long time without receiving any response from Bronsky, Ash angrily threw the medical record folder onto Bronsky's bed and said, "Answer me, soldier!"

Although Abomination has the appearance of the Hulk, at his core he is still the soldier named Emil Bronsky, and the rules corresponding to discipline are engraved in his soul.

Upon hearing this stern question, Bronsky instinctively straightened his body, his spine cracking as he winced in pain and shrank back.

Ash clearly saw Bronsky's reaction. Since he was a soldier, there was no need to treat him like an ordinary person. Ash firmly ordered Bronsky, "Emil Bronsky, I'm informing you now that you've been forcibly conscripted by the Control Bureau. You will be assigned to a special team to assist in carrying out the Control Bureau's secret missions. Report to Anderson once you've recovered from your injuries. Do you understand?"

From losing everything to being needed again, Bronsky experienced a transformation from hell to heaven in minutes.

Lying in the hospital bed, Bronsky reached out and crushed the medical equipment beside him into powder, scattering the fragments in front of Ash, and asked, "Even so, are you still going to conscript me?"

Looking at the equipment in front of her, Ash sighed with some heartache and said, "The damage to the equipment will be deducted from your salary. Also, this is the Control Bureau, so control your temper. Don't forget who beat you up and sent you to the hospital!"

Seeing Ash's threatening expression, Bronsky nodded blankly and finally agreed.

Originally, it was thought that Ash would leave, but instead, Ash circled around Bronsky and threw a ball of light at him, instantly healing his injuries.

"Come with me, I need to figure out how to get you some gear. You'll definitely get attacked if you go out naked..."

Chapter 256: Education

Bronsky noticed the changes in his body; his spine, which had been creaking just moments before, could now move smoothly.

Bronsky jumped off the hospital bed, stretched himself out, then picked up the bed and rolled it into a metal ball to test his strength.

Just as Bronsky was trying to roll the stainless steel bed into a solid iron ball, Ashna's terrifying voice sent a chill down Bronsky's spine.

"Alright, your salary has already been deducted for half a year. If you dare to damage anything again, you'll be working for free at the Control Bureau!"

Bronsky held the rank of major, the highest rank for frontline combat. He had repeatedly refused promotion to colonel. However, this did not mean Bronsky would receive the same treatment as an ordinary major.

Bronsky knew his salary well; half a year's salary was a lot of money. Under the pressure of money, Bronsky carefully avoided everything here.

Ash walked ahead, while Bronsky tiptoed behind, avoiding anything that might result in a pay cut.

After leaving the armory, Bronsky looked up to the sky and roared, venting the frustration he had felt inside for the past few days.

After regaining his freedom, Bronsky grinned wickedly and reached out his hand to Ash in front of him.

However, Ash turned around in an instant, and her gaze, which seemed to see right through Bronsky's soul, froze Bronsky in place.

Ash frowned, somewhat displeased, but ultimately spared Bronsky's life, saying, "It seems you're still a bit dissatisfied. I'll give you a chance; if you can defeat me tonight, I'll let you go."

Bronsky had never heard of such a request before. He looked around at the other people coming and going, ignoring him as if he were just an ordinary person.

Some of those who lived nearby, and were a bit bolder, even started passing on messages to others, inviting their friends to come and watch the show.

There are no fools in the Control Bureau. Ash's abilities aren't limited to rescue. Anyone who participated in the recent missions and paid close attention would have noticed that no matter how intense the battle, Ash never sustained a single scratch. At most, she might have some dust from the battle's aftershocks.

Bronsky was defeated so quickly that he didn't even see what was happening before Ash suddenly appeared and smashed him away with a giant dragon tooth.

Faced with this choice, Bronsky readily agreed. In his view, as long as it wasn't Ego, who had shattered his spine, who made the move, Bronsky feared no enemy.

The fight took place on the beach where criminals were temporarily detained. Bronsky was getting impatient, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.

Ash, standing at the other end, shook his head as he watched Bronsky's actions and said, "Pinching your knuckles can easily lead to joint capsule laxity, which can cause synovitis, arthritis, and other diseases. It's a very bad habit..."

As Ash shook his head, Bronsky had already rushed in front of Ash, his fist about to touch Ash's face.

However, Ash vanished instantly from beneath Bronsky's fist, and then Ash's iron fist appeared in Bronsky's abdomen.

The upward punch struck Bronsky's stomach, simultaneously compressing his diaphragm and causing his lungs to vibrate.

The referred pain from the severe blow to his organs and the difficulty breathing caused Bronsky to curl up, his throat constantly coughing outwards due to physiological action, while the referred pain made him want to take deep breaths to relieve it.

Contradictory physiological and psychological states, Ash shattered Bronsky's strength with a single punch.

Did you hear what I said?!

As Ash asked questions, he walked step by step toward Bronsky, leaving a trail of footprints on the beach.

Before Bronsky could react, the light from Ash's hand fell on him again, and the pain in his body instantly disappeared.

Before Bronsky could recover, Ash kicked him in the side.

The indescribable pain in his internal organs had just begun when another burst of light shone down on Bronsky's face.

Did you hear what I said?!

The pain and the exhilarating healing intertwined on Bronsky's body, followed by Ashna's unpredictable kick.

After a punch and a kick, there would be an immediate follow-up treatment, followed by a nonsensical greeting. After an unknown amount of time, Bronsky had given up resisting and lay motionless on the beach.

Did you hear what I said?!

When Ash asked again, Bronsky seized the opportunity and said, "I heard you, I heard you! I will cooperate with the Bureau of Control's summons and carry out the mission!"

"And there's more!"

"And...and I will compensate for the damaged instruments and equipment at cost..."

"And there's more!"

"Anything else? I really don't know!"

Bronsky was on the verge of tears, frantically recalling what Ash had said.

Ash delivered another punch, then hurled a white beam of light at Bronsky, healing him once more. "Develop good habits, okay? Got it?" he said.

"I've got it, I've got it!"

Upon hearing Bronsky's words, Ash nodded, indicating that he would let Bronsky go.

Just after Ash left, Ego, carrying his Morn hammer, came to Bronsky.

Igor frowned, looking at Bronsky lying on the ground with displeasure: "It's you again! You're the one who made me shirk my responsibility to protect the saintess? Prepare to die!"

"Wait! I surrender!"

Before Bronsky could finish speaking, Morn's hammer came crashing down on Bronsky's head, and like Ash, it was accompanied by a healing white light as he delivered another blow.

After Ash finished arranging the personnel to participate in the mission with the Bureau of Investigation the next day, Bronsky dragged his tired body to Ash's side.

The physical exhaustion stemmed from the pain of being constantly beaten, but the mental anguish was even greater for Bronsky. He was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back.

Bronsky was utterly impressed by this approach. The military has always been a place where might makes right, and Ash and Ego's successive blows made him realize who truly held power within the Control Bureau.

Looking at Bronsky standing behind him, Ash thought for a moment and said to Anderson, "Given his size, make him a suit of armor with composite plates. Also, find some handy weapons and get him one too..."

Hearing Ash's words, Bronsky, still defiant, retorted, "I can smash everyone... the enemy..."

Hearing Bronsky's words, Ash then said to Anderson, "Give him a retraining. As an officer, to prepare to go into battle empty-handed, standing there to get shot without any defense, is either stupid or lacking in intelligence. Give him another IQ test. I suspect his brain has been squeezed out by his enhanced muscles..."

Bronsky did not refute Ash's sarcasm. He only needed to obey his superior's orders. After hearing Ash's words, Bronsky looked at his green hand with some doubt and realized that his intelligence was indeed being taken over by his muscles.

"Let's give him a special code name, Abomination. Abomination, assemble tomorrow morning, he'll be with me on a special mission..."

Ash left after speaking, leaving only Anderson to take Bronsky's body measurements. Bronsky watched Ash's departing figure and silently saluted.

A code name is no small matter; it represents whether you are accepted into the military, and even the ferocity of your code name reflects your ability and skill level.

But the name "Hate" made Bronsky like it from the bottom of his heart.

Overnight preparations resulted in almost every combat squad's marksmen and ATS exoskeleton armor being equipped with new weapon-charged rifles.

Abomination, also fully armored, boarded a heavy truck. But why did its weapon look so unusual?

A tank gun barrel on a truck? Upon closer inspection, it's indeed the barrel of Abrams' 105mm rifled cannon. Judging by the gleaming cradle at the breech end, it was clearly hastily salvaged from a tank.

A giant nearly five meters tall wielding a cannon barrel weighing hundreds of kilograms—the scene is somewhat comical, but incredibly dangerous.

It seems Anderson doesn't have time to prepare new weapons for the Abominations and can only temporarily rob Peter to pay Paul.

'We need to kill off a few melee-type Transformers and get a couple of molten steel blades for the Abomination; this is a bit too rudimentary.'

Having made up her mind, Ash led her men away from the Bureau of Control's base and quickly headed towards the location given by the Bureau of Investigation.

When carrying out missions across regions, Ash did not bring heavy equipment such as tanks, only light combat vehicles like Bradleys, and fire support from 10,000 meters above the ground.

The heaviest part of the entire convoy was probably the truck carrying the Abomination and the ATS exoskeleton armor.

Not long after they hit the road, Ash took out his phone and called George.

"Do me a favor, close the highway and direct other vehicles off the highway, a fight is about to break out here. Hmm... the really brutal kind."

George, who was sitting opposite him, was secretly pleased with the confession of Sam that he had hastily obtained from the previous night's interrogation when he heard Ash say this.

As for brutality, Ash didn't say that in the vampire incident that destroyed a block or the Hulk incident that destroyed an entire street.

Despite feeling unwell, George still connected to the emergency channel, sending orders to the highway patrol and requesting additional police support to clear the vehicles on the highway.

George's reaction was swift: fewer and fewer private vehicles were around Ash's convoy, and traffic radio and various channels were reporting a battle on the highway, causing private cars to drop off as if seeking refuge.

Once the cars had mostly disappeared from view, Ash said in the channel, "Everyone, please look to your left. This is a peaceful highway scene. Please look to your right. This is the city we just left. It's about to disappear below the horizon."

Then look back. There are several tan-colored heavy bulldozers. These construction machines can even keep up with our speed! So fire!

At Ash's command, several red beams pierced through the foremost heavy bulldozer. The bulldozers behind then began to transform, turning into Decepticon robots.
