Heroes Alliance

The battle continued, still without any suspense.

As they finished off all the enemies and were about to rescue Kick-Ass and Damon, Damon was suddenly engulfed in raging flames, forcing Kick-Ass beside him to twist his body with all his might to dodge.

Li Congxin frowned at the sight. The enemies were all dealt with, so where did this fire come from?

Immediately after, in the blink of an eye, the flames completely consumed Damon, transforming into a pillar of fire that shot into the sky, breaking through the warehouse roof before disappearing.

In the spot where Damon had been, even the steel chair was completely reduced to ashes!

"Damn it! What the hell is this, Samadhi Fire!?"

Seeing the incredibly powerful, yet seemingly sentient flames before him, Li Congxin couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

This was too un-Marvel!

"Dad!" Hit-Girl cried out, seeing Damon turned to ash in the inferno. Li Congxin could only pat her shoulder for encouragement, not knowing how to comfort her.

After crying for a moment, Hit-Girl suddenly looked up and declared with determination that she would avenge her deceased parents and hoped for everyone's help.

Li Congxin wasn't particularly interested in drug lords. However, for a bold idea that had just struck him, he agreed after consulting Hawkeye and Yi Long. He flatly rejected the little girl's suggestion to pull Kick-Ass into helping as well.

Let that guy, dressed head to toe in green, go home and rest!

With only two months of training at the Nalan Martial Arts School, his combat power had only improved from 0.5 geese to 1 goose. He was a weakling with no strength, no potential, and no special skills. Keeping him around would only be a hindrance.

The path of a superhero was simply not suitable for him. He'd have to talk to him seriously under his real identity later and persuade him to give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible; that would be the best for him.

After Li Congxin obtained the evidence left by the "scamming" reporter, the four of them, guided by Mindy, drove straight to Frank D'Amico's stronghold.

The atmosphere inside the car was extremely heavy.

Mindy had just lost her father, so naturally, no one expected her to say anything to lighten the mood at this time.

Seeing Damon's death, Hawkeye felt a sense of shared melancholy, like a rabbit mourning a fox. He just drove silently, not uttering a word.

As for Yi Long, he was more open-minded, but he wasn't a talkative person to begin with. It was an innate trait, harder to change.

As the atmosphere gradually reached its peak of oppression, Li Congxin finally seized the opportune moment to propose, "I want to form an alliance of superheroes. What do you all think?"

"An alliance?" Hawkeye was the first to show interest. Hearing Li Congxin's proposal, he asked almost without hesitation, "What kind of alliance?"

He immediately shook off his previous negative emotions and asked, "It's about bringing everyone together so we can look out for each other."

Li Congxin mentally praised Hawkeye as the best supporting actor and continued, "When we're constantly fighting those ruthless criminals, no one can guarantee they won't slip up. Just like just now, a righteous individual bravely fighting criminals sacrificed himself before us. I don't want to see similar things happen again."

"Therefore, I thought of uniting everyone to fight evil together. This will not only increase our overall strength but also ensure that if someone slips up and an accident occurs, others can rush to their rescue immediately, preserving the power of justice to the maximum extent!"

Having delivered his prepared speech, Li Congxin calmly asked, "I've said my piece. What do you all think?"

"I'm willing to join!"

Mindy was the first to express her opinion, but Li Congxin automatically ignored it.

She's just a child, why be a superhero?

What you need to do now is develop stealthily, don't take risks!

"Count me in!"

Hawkeye spoke second. He wanted to use the abilities bestowed upon him by heaven to contribute to justice. Coupled with seeing Damon's fate just now, he strongly agreed with Li Congxin's viewpoint.

The current Hawkeye wasn't the all-rounder Avenger he would become ten years later. As an ADC, he was more in need of teammate support.

Seeing that Mindy and Hawkeye had both stated their positions, Yi Long finally spoke, "I can join temporarily. I can use this battle to see if my state of mind has truly recovered. If there are problems now, you can suppress my inner demons, but if problems arise after I go home, that would be a disaster!"

Li Congxin glanced at Yi Long's expression in the rearview mirror and said half-jokingly, "Aren't you a Buddhist disciple? It was understandable when you were brainwashed and controlled before. Now that you're killing people, aren't you afraid the Buddha will blame you and send you to hell after death?"

He asked this not because he was bored and teasing Yi Long.

Even if he didn't ask, Yi Long himself would inevitably think about it. It was better to take the opportunity to probe. If he had psychological barriers about killing people as a superhero here, Li Congxin would never call him for future actions.

Yi Long's expression remained as calm as ever, as if undisturbed. He said, "If I don't go to hell, who will? Even the Vajra has an angry glare!"

"As long as I'm killing bad people, I'm willing to be an angry Vajra who goes to hell after death!"

Thus, a superhero organization was established through the simple discussion of the four of them. As for how this organization would develop in the future, it would depend on how Li Congxin, the initiator, operated it.

"Right!" As they were getting close to Frank D'Amico's stronghold, Hawkeye suddenly asked, "Have you thought of a name for our superhero organization?"

As he spoke, the car took a sharp turn, passing the last intersection leading to Frank D'Amico's stronghold. The target was right in front of them.

Li Congxin smiled slightly and calmly replied, "Heroes Alliance!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, before he could even ask for everyone's opinion, his expression was replaced by shock.

Originally, based on the disparity in strength between the two sides, Li Congxin had never considered the possibility of failure in this encirclement mission.

However, reality proved that their mission had completely failed, and there was no longer any possibility of success!

Because the target was gone!

In the center of the street, the skyscraper that belonged to Frank D'Amico was completely engulfed in flames. The entire building was burning, illuminating the entire street in a fiery red.

Under such a blaze, let alone Frank D'Amico, even a weaker Avenger would probably not be able to escape.

Who was it that had snatched his kill, and with such ruthlessness?

Just then, a black sports car, resembling the Batmobile of that cool guy Batman, shot out of the sea of fire, wrapped in dazzling flames. With sparks flying and lightning crackling, it sped past the car they were in.

Wherever it passed, even the cement-paved road was scorched with two clear black marks!

Looking at the Hellbat battle armor flashing before his eyes, Li Congxin's expression, like that of the others, was one of utter confusion.

Seriously, who the heck was that guy?

His entrance was so ridiculously flashy!

Had the Ghost Rider gone and upgraded with pay-to-win, or had Batman from next door time-traveled over?
