As Kino and Venom strolled leisurely down the sidewalk, a deafening roar of engines suddenly erupted from ahead, followed by intense gunfire and the terrified screams of pedestrians.

Kino looked up and saw a black car charging down the street like a runaway horse.

At this insane speed, it would hit the innocent crowd in just a few seconds.

He had finally gotten a honeymoon, and he didn't want this sudden chaos to disturb it.

Just as Kino was about to act, a dazzling yellow lightning bolt suddenly flashed beside him, and then, the world in his eyes instantly froze.

The terrified expressions of the pedestrians were frozen on their faces, the oncoming car stopped dead, and the bullets fired into the sky hung suspended in mid-air.

Besides Kino and Venom, there was also a naked man beside them.

It was The Flash, Barry Allen. He frantically zipped on his red battle suit and then began evacuating the pedestrians at a dizzying speed.

When it was Kino and Venom's turn, Barry nervously wiped his hands, his gaze fixed directly on Venom, and sighed, "I'm so envious of you. When will I ever find a girlfriend?"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Kino and Venom's arms, but his hand passed through empty air.

"We won't trouble you," Kino replied.

Barry looked up at the sound of his voice and met their eyes.

Barry's eyes widened in surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen someone who could keep up with his speed.

Nervous, Barry actually exited the Speed Force state.

"Ah!" the pedestrians screamed in terror.

Barry snapped back to reality, only then realizing he hadn't finished saving everyone. Just as he was about to re-enter the Speed Force state, his stomach rumbled. He hadn't eaten lunch and was out of energy.

"I'll do it then."

Kino stepped forward and, facing the oncoming car, stomped down with his foot.

The car's airbags all deployed. The driver inside was still desperately flooring the accelerator, the tires screeching wildly on the ground, emitting clouds of white smoke.

Barry stood to the side, dumbfounded. Although he could also stop the car, this kind of pure power suppression still shocked him.

The car finally stopped, and then the door was violently flung open, revealing two robbers armed with guns.

The robbers jumped out of the car, their eyes bloodshot, cursing, "You ruined my good time! Die!"

They raised their guns and fired wildly at Kino.

Kino extended his hand, and several afterimages flashed in the air. All the bullets were caught by him, and in his hand, a copper ball formed from the bullets instantly appeared.

"I'll say it only once: kneel and beg for mercy."

The two robbers, instead of listening, became even more arrogant and cursed, "Hmph! What can you do to us? If you've got the guts, come on!"

Saying that, they swapped magazines and were about to start shooting at the surrounding pedestrians.

Kino instantly appeared beside them, moving so fast that only an afterimage was left. He effortlessly bent the barrels of their guns, then grabbed them by the necks and lifted them up.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Kino's eyes were cold.

The robbers scoffed disdainfully, "You Superheroes don't kill people. If you dare, then do it!"

Seeing that Kino didn't make a move, the robbers' faces showed smug smiles.

Even after Superman died, many new Superheroes appeared with various abilities. However, following Superman's example, they also didn't kill people, merely spending a few days in prison.

Kino, however, revealed a smile upon hearing this. "I never said I was a hero."

"I... you're not a hero?"

The robbers finally realized something was wrong, their voices starting to tremble.

"I'm on a date today, so I indeed won't kill anyone," Kino said slowly.

Before the robbers could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Kino continue chillingly, "But whether you can survive in Hell depends on your abilities."

The robbers' faces changed drastically.

"Wait, we can talk..."

Before he could finish, Kino let go.

He fell into a suddenly appearing Portal and, along with the car beside him, vanished in the blink of an eye.

When the robbers landed hard on the ground, the stinging pain finally brought them to their senses.

"Hahaha, I knew I wouldn't... die..." He laughed, but his laughter abruptly stopped, his gaze becoming vacant.

Because they were now in a massive coliseum, surrounded by a circle of ferocious-looking Demons.

The Demons also looked at them curiously, as if appraising novel prey.

"Boss, we're in Hell."

A companion beside him said tremblingly.

Is this a hallucination? the robber thought.

Before he could verify, a green figure streaked over and instantly smashed them into a bloody mist.

"Hulk is angry!" Hulk roared as he stood up. Seeing the car that had suddenly appeared beside him, he brought his hands down, splitting it directly in half.

He smashed them together, making a deafening sound, holding one half in each hand as if wearing giant boxing gloves.

"Hulk, come on! Is that all you've got?!" Abomination taunted. He had noticed the appearance of the two robbers but paid them no mind.

"Hulk, invincible!"

Hulk roared, stomping his thick legs on the ground and charging at Abomination like a moving mountain.

Abomination didn't dodge, taking Hulk's haymaker head-on. He stumbled back but a wicked grin spread across his face.

His ribs visible, his muscles rapidly swelled as if inflated, becoming incredibly full and firm in the blink of an eye.

His previously gaunt skin was stretched taut by the bulging muscles, exuding a chilling sense of power.

"My strength is increasing!"

Abomination roared and kicked Hulk flying into the wall. He then charged forward, pinning Hulk against the corner and pounding him.

The fierce assault shattered the rock face behind Hulk, instantly turning it into molten lava. If this arena hadn't been reinforced by the Mountain Demon, it would have already turned to dust.

Don't let Abomination's current advantage fool you; he had only won a handful of times recently.

If he couldn't knock Hulk out before his strength reached its peak, he would be the one to lose.

"Hulk, go!"

"Abomination, smash him."

Demons in the stands cheered for their favored fighters, their shouts shaking the heavens.

watched the match from the highest seat in the stands, an empty throne beside her.

This arena was the Young Master's idea. He said the demons had a lot of pent-up energy and needed an outlet, and that they could even charge admission later when there were more people.

It seemed to be working well so far; the demons had been much more obedient lately.

Before long, Hulk's massive hands, like vises, clamped down tightly on Abomination's arms.

With this grip, Abomination felt an irresistible force surge through him, locking his arms as if bound by iron chains, rendering him completely immobile.

Abomination knew in his heart that he had missed his chance this time.

Hulk slammed his head forward, and Abomination instantly fell to the ground, dazed.

The entire arena erupted in cheers.

Chants of "Hulk! Hulk!" echoed throughout the coliseum.

Hulk raised his arms, responding excitedly, his face beaming with satisfaction. He loved it here.

After a while, Abomination regained consciousness and a hand was extended in front of him.

Abomination grabbed the offered hand and was pulled to his feet.

"Lost to you again. You're truly powerful."

"Hulk, invincible."

Although they had been mortal enemies at first, they had fought so often recently that a bond had formed between them.
