On the bridge, countless moving vehicles were forced to stop because of Hulk's appearance.
Some vehicles that failed to brake in time caused a chain of rear-end collisions.
"What happened up ahead? Was there an accident?"
On the jammed roadway, countless people got out of their cars and looked ahead.
"Run! There's a monster on the bridge!"
But the next moment, the cries of alarm and fleeing pedestrians told them exactly what had happened ahead.
"Oh, god! What on earth is that thing?"
As they watched an entire section of the bridge slowly rise, everyone's eyes filled with shock.
"Unbelievable! That monster actually lifted a bridge."
In the air, media outlets that had learned of the monster appearing in New York City had dispatched reporters long ago.
At that moment, they sat in helicopters, recording everything happening on the bridge with their cameras.
"Incredible! Just how strong is that monster?"
Viewers watching everything unfold from in front of their televisions could not help being shocked by the monster's power.
"No matter how strong that monster is, it can never defeat Superman!"
Among them were also Peter's steadfast supporters.
Hulk swept through the air at high speed while carrying a bridge deck weighing thousands of tons, even stirring up a fierce gale.
Amid the howling wind, the enormous bridge came crashing brutally toward Peter in the air.
"The angrier this guy gets, the stronger he seems to become."
At that moment, as Hulk suddenly erupted with such terrifying strength, the relaxed expression on Peter's face gradually vanished, replaced by seriousness.
In his normal state, Hulk was someone Peter could easily crush with his current strength.
But if Hulk truly grew stronger the angrier he became, with no upper limit, then Peter had to deal with him carefully.
After all, Peter remembered that the Hulk in the comics could destroy the Earth.
"As Superman, protecting 'my' Earth is my duty!"
In an instant, Peter charged straight toward the enormous bridge Hulk had swung at him.
Scarlet light burst directly from his eyes!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Heat Vision, carrying scorching heat and tremendous impact force, carved a path ahead like an incomparably sharp sword of light, slashing without pause.
Even the sturdy bridge seemed to turn into tofu that could be cut apart at will.
The entire section of bridge was rapidly sliced apart by Peter.
Meanwhile, Peter himself, with the body of a god, charged without hesitation toward Hulk below.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Countless massive chunks of severed concrete crashed heavily onto the bridge, making the entire structure shake continuously.
In only a few seconds, the bridge Hulk had lifted, weighing thousands of tons, had been cut down to only a small section.
At that moment, Peter finally reached Hulk.
The Heat Vision blazing from his eyes shot without hesitation toward Hulk's face.
At the same time, he swung his right fist, smashing it viciously toward Hulk's body.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
But in the face of Peter's attack, Hulk seemed to have gotten smarter.
First, Hulk crossed his upper two arms in front of himself, blocking Peter's incoming Heat Vision.
Then, Hulk used his other two hands to block Peter's incoming punch.
After successfully blocking it, Hulk directly grabbed Peter's arms with both hands.
Pulling hard in opposite directions, Hulk seemed to want to compete with Peter in strength, even intending to tear Peter's arms completely off his body.
"Oh no, Superman has been caught by that monster."
"Can our Superman resolve this crisis and defeat the monster? Let's cheer for him together!"
The reporter in the helicopter high above faithfully carried out his duty.
Yet his expression was also filled with concern for Superman, who had been restrained.
"Superman, keep it up! You're the strongest!"
"Keep it up! Justice will triumph over evil!"
Sometimes, the boundary between justice and evil was not so clear.
Compared to the ugly Hulk, even though Superman had previously acted arrogantly and selfishly, and had barely done anything to help others,
at that moment, he undoubtedly represented true justice.
"You think I don't know that you're trying to use strength amplified several times over to completely suppress me?"
"And the reason I gave up the advantage of flight to fight you in close combat—"
"is because my strength is far greater than yours right now!"
Thinking of the system notification that had just sounded, a faint smile gradually appeared on Peter's face.
Congratulations, Host. Your "Super Strength" has successfully awakened...
Roar!
Hulk, who had originally held the upper hand in strength and had Peter's body firmly locked down with all four arms,
suddenly discovered that an unmatched, terrifying force had erupted from within the tiny human before him.
In almost an instant, Hulk felt an overwhelming force that was nearly impossible to resist coming from the arms gripping Peter's arms.
Aah!
That immense force directly tore Hulk's arms from his body, and thick green blood instantly sprayed out.
"It's time for you to calm down!"
Having easily torn off Hulk's arms, Peter grabbed Hulk by the neck without hesitation and shot into the sky in an instant.
"Oh my god, they've actually left the atmosphere. Unfortunately, our cameras can no longer continue filming them."
The reporter in the helicopter watched the man and monster vanish into the high sky in an instant, a trace of regret appearing on his face.
"But Superman is our hero. He saved all of New York City..."
"Haha, good thing I have a Telescope."
Watching Superman disappear from the television, an astronomy enthusiast in New York excitedly ran toward his balcony.
However, he had apparently celebrated too soon. With the field of view of a Telescope, it was simply too difficult to spot such tiny human figures in the vastness of space.
Only after he left the balcony in disappointment, intending to check whether other news channels had more information about Superman,
did he suddenly discover that someone in his astronomy enthusiasts' group had sent a new message.
"Everyone, look at the moon..."
"General Ross, they have left the city limits. Can we launch a nuclear missile and completely eliminate that terrifying monster? And that... god?"
At that moment, in a confidential video conference that only military generals and key political figures could attend,
a politician dressed in an expensive suit slowly spoke, making the suggestion to General Ross.
In truth, whether it was the powerful, terrifying-looking monster or Superman, who was like a God Among Men,
both were like the Sword of Damocles hanging above the heads of every government official and politician.
No one knew when that sword might suddenly fall and sever their heads.
Now that they had such a perfect opportunity to eliminate them both at once, how could they not be tempted?
"Mr. vice president, your suggestion is as naive as a child's. Superman's speed far surpasses any aircraft known to us."
"Even if we launch a nuclear missile, it won't be able to catch him. After all, our Superman will not willingly endure humanity's nuclear bombardment just to destroy a monster like he would in the comics."
"Besides, our nuclear weapons may not even be able to harm him!"
"Furthermore, according to observations from military satellites, they are about to land on the moon."
As a soldier, General Ross understood Superman's power more clearly than anyone else.
Especially a Superman without mercy, one who acted without any restraint.
That was practically a true God Among Men!
"Mr. vice president, I hope you will voluntarily submit your resignation to Congress tomorrow. You treat humanity's hero this way, so you are utterly unworthy of sitting in that position."
A politician who appeared to hold a higher rank finally spoke slowly, instantly sentencing the Vice President who had made the suggestion to "death."
Then, no longer paying attention to the Vice President's grim expression, he slowly continued speaking to General Ross.
"General Ross, can you mobilize the satellites and display the current scene on the moon? I want to witness with my own eyes how humanity's hero defeats that evil monster!"
As he spoke, an excited expression appeared on his face, as though he were delighted that justice was about to achieve its final victory.
