"Idiot."
Kino wrapped an arm around Gwen's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.
With his other hand clenched into a fist, he met Abomination's fist head-on.
The two fists, one large and one small, collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave.
Crack, crack—the sound of bones breaking rang out.
The larger one was sent flying instead.
Gwen stared blankly at the unbelievable scene before her.
"Gwen, are you stupid? You actually tried to block a fist the size of a cooking pot with that tiny body of yours. Did you think you were Tobey Spider?"
The teasing voice sounded beside her. His hot breath seeped through the mask and brushed against her ear, making it itch.
Gwen turned her head and saw the amusement in Kino's eyes.
"Hey, I only went to block it because of you. And who's Tobey Spider?"
"He's also Spider-Man, but he has the best physique."
"There are other Spider-Men?"
Venom watched the two of them chatting so happily.
"Kino, are you two planning to keep talking in that position?"
Gwen came to her senses. She felt the hot palm on her stomach—and it even squeezed her.
Gwen's face instantly flushed bright red, and she hurriedly struggled out of Kino's arms.
"Hmph, you lecher!"
Gwen glared at Kino and straightened her slightly disheveled suit.
"Sorry, Gwen. I squeezed you without thinking."
Kino looked a little apologetic. It felt too good. I couldn't help myself.
"Ahem... I'm not Gwen. You've mistaken me for someone else. You can call me Ghost-Spider." Gwen deliberately deepened her voice.
"Sure, Miss Spider." Kino struggled to hold back his laughter.
Venom watched the interaction between Kino and Gwen, rolled her eyes, and said, "Could you two stop flirting here? Don't forget there's still a huge problem to deal with."
A furious roar came from the distance.
Two massive figures faced each other.
Banner had originally intended to stay out of it after seeing Abomination lured away.
But not long afterward, Abomination flew back toward the armed helicopter where they were.
Fortunately, the pilot's skills were excellent, and he narrowly avoided him. However, the turbulence caused by Abomination's enormous body sent the helicopter rocking wildly through the air and threw him out.
"Hulk, you finally came out!"
Abomination looked at Hulk excitedly. Defeating Hulk had become his obsession.
Although one of his hands was broken, Abomination charged forward without the slightest hesitation.
"Hulk!"
Hulk roared as well and charged to meet him.
The instant their massive bodies collided, Hulk was knocked flying.
Although Abomination had lost one hand, his body now possessed powerful healing abilities. His arm had already recovered halfway, so it did not affect his fighting ability.
Hulk was different. His body had been injected with a massive amount of suppressants. The fact that he could transform at all was already impressive, and he fell into a disadvantage the instant they clashed.
Hearing the roars from the distance, Kino and Gwen immediately stopped fooling around and turned toward the source of the sound.
"No, we have to lure them away. Kino, can you help me?"
Gwen pleaded. Although he had only struck once just now, that overwhelming power would definitely be enough to stop them.
"Sure. Venom, let's go."
Kino bent elegantly at the waist and raised a hand.
It was as if he were not going into battle, but inviting a lady to dance.
Venom smiled faintly and settled onto his hand. Her body transformed into black tissue that spread over Kino, forming a golden-armored Superman suit.
"Pamela, I'm heading out."
With that, Kino flew forward.
"Let's go, Gwen. We'll help them too," Pamela said.
"She's..."
Gwen still had not recovered from the shock of seeing a person transform into clothing.
"This? You'll know once you become one of our sisters."
Pamela smiled mysteriously.
She had taken a liking to this Gwen, who had just been willing to fight with all her strength to save them.
"Oh... Wait, who said I wanted to become your sister?"
On the streets of New York, the once bustling avenues had become a scene of utter devastation.
The roads had been torn apart, with asphalt curling upward to expose the sinister soil and pipes below. Storefront windows had been shattered, and shards of glass lay scattered across the ground, reflecting the dim light.
Vehicles lay strewn about in disarray. Some had been crushed flat, while others burned with raging flames and belched thick black smoke. Streetlights leaned crookedly, electrical wires drooped onto the ground, and sparks occasionally flashed with terrifying crackles.
Civilians fled in all directions, their cries and calls for help intertwining.
Some people lay in pools of blood, groaning in pain, yet no one was able to help them.
Children had become separated from their parents and cried helplessly amid the chaos.
The injured lay on the ground, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Oh, God! Please save us."
An old man was pinned beneath the collapsed building by both legs. Unable to move, he could only stare despairingly at the sky.
At the center of this chaos, Abomination and Hulk continued to pummel each other violently. Every collision produced a massive shockwave, causing even greater destruction to the city.
The muscles in Abomination's thick arm bulged. His severed hand had already recovered completely, and he roared as he swung another punch at Hulk.
Hulk was not to be outdone. His enormous body tensed, the veins standing out beneath his green skin, and he clenched his fist as well.
At this critical moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky. A figure plummeted down at high speed like a meteor.
A cloud of dust erupted between Abomination and Hulk. Kino spread both hands and stopped their massive fists, one with each hand. The tremendous impact instantly cratered the ground beneath his feet.
"Enough!"
Kino shouted, his voice exploding across the ruins like thunder.
"This city isn't your battlefield. Innocent lives shouldn't have to pay for your fight!"
The surrounding civilians also stopped fleeing and turned their gazes toward Kino, their eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.
The scene fell utterly silent. Kino lowered his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
Venom, do I look cool? I've been thinking about this line for a long time.
[You do look cool, but it also depends on whether they're willing to give you face.]
"Get lost, bug!"
"Hulk is invincible!"
Abomination's rage had long since devoured his reason. His eyes held only Hulk as he raised his other fist and swung it at Kino.
Hulk also roared in anger. Unhappy at Kino's interference, he swung his other fist at Kino as well.
"Fuck me, you don't know when you're being shown mercy."
Kino's expression darkened. He seized the incoming fists, kicked off with both legs, and unleashed such tremendous force that the ground caved in again. Then he shot into the sky, taking Abomination and Hulk with him.
In midair, Kino gripped the fists of the two massive figures. Like someone swinging a pair of nunchaku, he rapidly spun them around himself.
Kino's strength was beyond imagination. The huge, heavy bodies of Abomination and Hulk seemed as light as feathers in his hands.
As Kino spun faster and faster, Abomination and Hulk became dizzy and disoriented, letting out furious roars.
