"Have you ever seen a palm strike descending from the heavens?"

Amid his flamboyant shout, Wang Khan fell headfirst toward the ground, then extended his right hand downward. The Vibranium Gauntlet absorbed the power of the Shockwave and blasted out a shockwave.

"Boom!"

With Hulk and Abomination at its center, a huge crater ten meters in diameter appeared in the street. The shops on both sides were instantly pulverized. Fortunately, after the chaos earlier, everyone nearby had already fled, while those who hadn't were already corpses. Otherwise, Wang Khan's palm strike from the heavens would have caused at least dozens of casualties.

"Oh my God! Another one?! This guy doesn't look like a good person either!"

Spider-Man's body wasn't hit by the shockwave, but the aftershock sent him flying more than ten meters before he eventually ended up hanging from the side of a partially collapsed building.

Wang Khan made a dazzling entrance in his black-and-purple Vibranium suit. Standing at the bottom of the crater, he looked toward the two mounds protruding from the ground.

Amid the sound of shifting bricks, Abomination and Hulk both crawled out. Hulk was a little dizzy, while Abomination merely shook his head and was fine.

"As expected, the Shockwave's area-of-effect damage is limited against enemies with high health and strong defenses."

"Roar~~~ I'm going to kill you!"

Abomination leaped at him. Wang Khan raised a hand, and the Shockwave blasted out, sending Abomination flying more than thirty meters. Several cars were crushed into iron pancakes beneath him.

An ordinary person would have been smashed into minced meat, but Abomination immediately stood up after landing and charged toward Wang Khan again.

"Roar~~"

Another beastly roar rang out behind Wang Khan. Hulk had recovered as well. The guy wasn't very bright to begin with, and Wang Khan had attacked him just now, so he leaped over and launched an assault on Wang Khan.

With a snap of his fingers, the Vibranium suit on Wang Khan's body emitted dazzling purple light. Then, the Quake Force Field surged out from within him and blocked Hulk's punch.

Hulk tilted his head and stared at it twice, his face filled with confusion, but his reason was soon replaced by rage, and he continuously hammered his fists against the Quake Force Field.

At the same time, Abomination charged over as well. With slightly more sense than Hulk, he knew Wang Khan wasn't easy to deal with, so he temporarily abandoned Hulk and joined forces with him to attack Wang Khan.

"Hey, brother~~ Need some help?"

Spider-Man leaped over and waved with his right hand, as if greeting a buddy.

"Spider-Man, become my subordinate. I'll give you power second only to me and superior to everyone else. When the time comes, you can choose any beauty under the heavens. How about it?"

"Dude, you know you sound exactly like a major villain from a comic, right? Besides, I'm a one-woman kind of guy. I don't need to have one foot in multiple boats."

"Is that so? If you won't become my subordinate, then you're my enemy. Die!"

Wang Khan pressed down with both hands, blasting out an even stronger Shockwave that triggered a magnitude-ten earthquake.

Hulk, Abomination, and even Spider-Man, who was slightly farther away, were all sent flying. With Wang Khan's body at the center, every building within a hundred-meter radius was reduced to ruins.

The terrifying Shockwave was like a natural disaster, intimidating everyone watching the battle.

"Director, Shockwave Man has appeared again, and this time his power is even greater!"

Coulson reported to Nick Fury as if his backside were on fire. Through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s satellites and the numerous surveillance feeds at the scene, Nick Fury had also witnessed Wang Khan's nearly cataclysmic attack.

"Why is he there? What exactly is his objective?"

Because General Ross was riding in a helicopter, he hadn't been affected by the earthquake. Just as he was stunned by Wang Khan's power and even began entertaining ulterior motives, Wang Khan looked up at him.

"Is it comfortable sitting up there? Why not come down and take a look? You'll be closer and see things more clearly."

Amid flickering purple light, a Shockwave blasted toward the Armed Helicopter carrying General Ross. It shook violently, immediately losing control and hurtling toward a nearby building.

"Roar!!!"

Hulk clearly retained some intelligence. The moment he saw his woman in danger, he immediately climbed out of the ruins and rushed toward the helicopter, intending to catch it with his own strength.

But the helicopter was too far away, and Hulk wasn't a speed-type Super Hero. He couldn't make it in time. Just as the helicopter was about to crash, with everyone inside doomed, Iron Man appeared.

Amid dazzling flames, the Iron Man suit rushed beneath the helicopter. Then, using the strength of his waist and back, he hoisted it up and stabilized its flight path.

"General, you'd better fly farther away. The level of combat here is too high."

"Stark, stop that guy!"

General Ross was so shaken that his head was spinning, but he still didn't forget to give the order.

"Hey, hey~~~ I'll do my best. You'd better get out of here."

Tony gave the helicopter one last push, allowing it to fly faster, then returned to the battlefield.

By then, Hulk and Wang Khan were already fighting. His extreme rage rapidly dispelled the serum's influence within Hulk, restoring him to peak condition.

Every punch he threw could destroy a train engine. Abomination felt a little uneasy at the sight, which soon transformed into overwhelming fury.

"Impossible! I can't possibly be weaker than Hulk! I'm the strongest!"

The two gamma creations attacked simultaneously, surrounding Wang Khan. The Quake Force Field Wang Khan had raised was beaten out of shape and looked as if it might collapse.

"Now this is more like it. As expected, relying solely on the power of the Shockwave and the Vibranium suit can only guarantee that I won't lose. If I want to defeat these two brutes, I'll have to use other powers."

"Bang!"

The Quake Force Field, which had held out for ten minutes, was finally shattered. Hulk roared and swung his fist at Wang Khan's head.

Abomination also took the opportunity to strike viciously, kicking toward Wang Khan's back. The fierce wind generated by the attack alone reached level twelve!

In this desperate situation, Wang Khan remained unhurried. He raised both hands and used Cloud Hands, seizing Hulk's wrist with one hand, then borrowing his force to send him flying more than a hundred meters.

Wang Khan dodged Abomination's kick as well. When Abomination raised his leg too high, leaving his lower body exposed, Wang Khan thrust his shoulder upward and drove into him with all his strength.

Abomination immediately lost his balance. His body became airborne, and he fell toward the ground headfirst.

Wang Khan immediately followed with a move of Pushing Hands, shoving hard against Abomination's lower back.

Amid a deafening sonic boom, Abomination flew even faster than Hulk, crashing directly into the ruins of a building a hundred meters away. This instantly flattened the ruins, saving the demolition crew a great deal of work.

After instantly sending the two brutes flying, Wang Khan drew a circle on the ground with both feet. A curved line divided the center of the circle into two halves, forming a simple Taiji Diagram.

"Hey, are you an enemy or a friend? Can we sit down and talk? Land prices on this street aren't exactly expensive, but if you keep tearing things apart like this, the New York government is going to have a massive headache."

Tony flew above Wang Khan. His tone was relaxed, but the expression on his face, hidden inside his helmet, was grave.

"Tony Stark, hand over the Arc Reactor in your chest, and I'll spare your life!"

"So there's no room for negotiation, then?"

The numerous weapons on Tony's Iron Man suit popped out and aimed at Wang Khan. Hulk, Abomination, and Spider-Man also regrouped, forming a one-against-four situation.

Even Skye, who had been hiding nearby the entire time, stepped across the ruins and arrived on the battlefield, making it one against five.

Wang Khan threw his head back and laughed. Blinding electric light flowed through his eyes. At the same time, dark clouds suddenly gathered over Harlem. Soon, peals of thunder began to resound.

Farewell, Black Panther. May there be no disease in heaven...
