Hulk, invincible in hand-to-hand combat
The battle between Shazo and Hulk was like a battle of gods.
In just the first exchange of blows, Wall Street presented an apocalyptic scene.
Once Inazuma Tornado is formed, it naturally spreads in all directions. It's impossible for buildings to collapse wherever it goes; after all, Wall Street is made of reinforced concrete skyscrapers.
But after a series of battles, the ground was littered with Shattering cement blocks and fallen metal parts. The Tornado swept across the ground and swept everything into the air.
The metal in these fragments better transferred the electrical charge from the Tornado, causing a violent burst of discharge that then exhausted the energy of the charge.
The Tornado's color quickly darkened, turning into a somber black dragon.
These fragments also significantly increased the destructive power of the Tornado.
When a car is caught in a black Tornado, Mars fly everywhere, and within minutes the car will disintegrate into pieces, further increasing the Tornado's destructive power.
Hundreds of Tornado swept out from Wall Street, and countless agents and reporters who were observing nearby were caught in them, disappearing screaming in the storm.
After the Tornado passed, all the planes circling in the air were destroyed, effectively clearing the surrounding airspace. Only two helicopters survived.
One of them was from the New York TV Tower, which fortunately maintained the continuity of the live broadcast, allowing viewers around the world to witness this devastating scene.
The Tornado was simply caused by the energy released after Shazo and Hulk's fists collided, causing the air to burst apart.
Their combined force primarily impacted each other, with some of the force passing through their bodies and reaching the ground beneath their feet.
The earth trembled and rumbled. Looking down from the helicopter that had just arrived, one could see a four-meter-wide, bottomless crack that ran the length of Wall Street.
Garbage and cars fell into the crack, but the next moment, the huge crack suddenly closed, as if it had never existed.
Gray mud, white water columns, and black oil gushed out from the closed cracks, even reaching the height of a ten-story building.
This shows just how terrifying the underground pressure is.
At the epicenter of the impact, Shazo was hammered into the ground by the Hulk's immense force and disappeared completely.
Hulk was sent flying high by Shazo's attack, his massive body tumbling and crashing through a building before disappearing into another building behind it.
After a brief two-second silence, Shazo suddenly sprang out from underground.
Under the control of [Electromagnetic Control], the mud on his body quickly fell off, and the damaged armor plates on his exclusive battle suit automatically repaired themselves and returned to their original positions.
In the blink of an eye, Shazo returned to his pre-battle state. Not only did his appearance return to normal, but his broken arms and shattered internal organs also Self-Healing.
However, the pain from the fractures and ruptured internal organs did not disappear immediately. Shazo Zuo's face contorted in pain, and he grimaced. If it weren't for the iron mask covering his face, he would have been utterly humiliated.
On the other side, Hulk let out a deafening roar, smashed through the building's exterior wall, jumped to the ground, and angrily charged towards Shazo.
After exchanging a punch, he and Hulk appeared to be evenly matched.
But Shazo knew that he had been seriously injured on the spot, with the bones in his hands broken inch by inch and his internal organs torn to pieces.
If it weren't for his Self-Healing factor, which is comparable to Wolverine's, he would have been finished off with that punch.
Hulk was sent flying so far, but he was completely unharmed and bounced back up and down again.
Such an opponent is simply not someone he can fight hand-to-hand. At least until Saiyan Shazo has mastered his powers, he can't bring himself to deliver a brutal blow to Hulk.
But then again, Hulk's abilities are all physical, unlike Shazo's.
He has many tricks up his sleeve.
Shazo Zuo laughed, then stretched out his right hand and gently grabbed it, using [Electromagnetic Control] to set a permanent [target] on Hulk, before clenching his fist heavily.
A powerful Electromagnetic Force emanated from Shazo, enveloping the entire Manhattan in a strong electromagnetic field, even generating slight electric arcs in the air.
After being ravaged by the Tornado, metal fragments left in the corner were thrown into the air.
The earth cracked open, spewing out fragments of rock and debris that flew into the air.
Hulk crashed through the falling concrete blocks of the building and flew into the air.
Cracked cement peeled off the damaged building and flew through the air.
From a helicopter in the distance, Camera captured the entire scene of Magneto imitating the scene and then transmitted it to all parts of the world.
Magneto truly lives up to his reputation as a master of grand scenes; Shazo merely imitated his classic epic moments, and it indeed produced the most breathtaking effect.
Countless people stared in disbelief at this miraculous scene, their jaws dropping in astonishment.
Steven and his nephew David, who were in the Rockefeller mansion, were terrified when they saw this scene.
They knew Shazo was strong, but they didn't know he was this strong.
Such super strength could easily annihilate an army, and it doesn't have the Hulk's weakness of only being able to fight hand-to-hand.
The constantly flashing electric arcs in the air clearly demonstrate the application of Electromagnetic Force, meaning that no modern weapon based on steel can threaten Shazo.
Even weapons made of special materials won't work; didn't you see that even those cement blocks and bricks were being manipulated?
Moreover, Shazo had previously exchanged blows with Hulk, and the fight ended in a draw.
In other words, even if they manage to overcome Shazo's electromagnetic Esper Powers, they will still have to face his hand-to-hand combat ability, which can destroy buildings.
How do you play this?
This is totally unplayable!
Steven cautiously recalled every detail of his interactions with Shazo, and only after confirming that he had not offended him did he breathe a long sigh of relief.
Then he sighed dejectedly.
Shazo's power was far too great, far exceeding the Rockefeller Family's expectations.
In this way, the Rockefeller Family achieved its goal of demonstrating its power to everyone, but their relationship with Shazo will also change.
Regardless of Steven's thoughts, he would henceforth be subordinate to Shazo, holding a subordinate position in the interactions between the two families.
David Rockefeller understood his nephew's thoughts and smiled helplessly, "There's nothing we can do; that's reality."
Steven Rockefeller shook his head and said, "I understand, that's reality."
David quickly recovered and said with a smile, "It's nothing really. Your grandfather, my father, spent his whole life bowing his head and serving President Roosevelt faithfully."
"Although President Roosevelt was a mild-mannered person and not in good health, he was very assertive and never allowed anyone to refuse him."
Even after his death, we cannot change the policies he left behind.
"During the war, Rockefeller made $5 billion selling oil, DuPont made $2.9 billion selling explosives. The President found out about all of it and forced us to pay 93% as taxes."
"After the war, this figure became the standard for our personal income tax payments, and it remained so until it gradually decreased 18 years ago."
"In other words, we won't be completely free from the President's control until you grow up."
"Compared to the domineering president, I genuinely think Mr. Shazo, who prefers to stay at home tinkering with internet technology and gunpowder weapons, is fantastic."
"He clearly has no desire for power, no grand ambitions, and doesn't even need our money; he's just afraid of trouble."
Steven smiled and said, "Uncle, you're right. Shazo just hates worldly troubles, and I can help him solve all his problems."
"With my help, Mr. Shazo, who hates trouble, will probably be too lazy to look for others."
David shook his head and said, "Steven, you can't underestimate Mr. Shazo; he's a very wise man."
"Believe me, he will never leave all the trouble to our family to handle, because that could create even bigger problems for the next generation."
Can you trust your children?
Steven smiled wryly. "Uncle, you're right. I can't trust my son and daughter. They—sigh."
"Knowing they're not up to par is why I want to do a better job, so they don't escalate things beyond repair."
David laughed and said, "Actually, you've done quite well. The Rockefeller Family is now Mr. Shazo's only friend, and among the ever-growing families in the future, we will definitely be able to occupy the number one position."
"Steven, seize this opportunity and don't worry about your children."
David sighed, "After all, worrying is useless. If worrying were useful, my Little Richie wouldn't be in this situation—"
Steven fell silent.
Shazo's [Electromagnetic Control] is not some fake thing called Magneto but actually Iron King. In his electromagnetic field, all matter can be controlled by him.
The so-called control is not just about making large objects fly; it can also shape metal and cement blocks like Ebony Maw, making them sharp and easy to fly.
Just like a real cannonball.
Shazo raised his right fist high, then swung it down hard.
All the projectiles controlled by Electromagnetic Force roared as they left the barrel under the acceleration of the Electromagnetic Force, heading towards the charging Hulk.
The acceleration of these "projectiles" in the electromagnetic field was so exaggerated that they exploded into a sonic boom cloud after flying only ten meters. Water vapor condensed in the low-pressure channel caused by the high-speed flight, forming a distinct contrail.
Tens of thousands of sonic boom clouds and contrails pointed towards the Hulk from all directions. From the helicopter in the distance, it looked like countless white enoki mushrooms growing backwards "slowly" toward the green Hulk.
But in Hulk's eyes, the Electromagnetic Cannon was too fast. He didn't have time to dodge, and he didn't even have time to raise his hand to cover his face. The first projectile hit him hard on the nose.
It was a cannonball formed from the twisting of a car wheel rim. The moment it hit, it changed from a cylindrical shape into a steel sheet. Hulk was also hit so hard by the huge impact that his head was thrown back.
But just as his head tilted back, a decorative red Rock struck the back of his head, offsetting the force of his backward fall.
Shazo's attacks were extremely dense, with dozens of shells hitting Hulk from all angles in just one second, making him unsteady on his feet, but he definitely wouldn't fall down.
After various types of shells hit Hulk, they quickly clear the path of attack.
After flying hundreds of meters away close to the ground, the cement and brick shells would be irreparably damaged and ruthlessly discarded by Shazo.
The metal projectiles are reshaped by Electromagnetic Force, then return to their original attack position, and are once again accelerated by Electromagnetic Force to attack the Hulk.
Outside the launch site, countless cement blocks and bricks, shaped and lined up, await launch.
In the Marvel World, Shazo's current power is incredibly exaggerated, far surpassing that of Misaka Shazo when she first mastered [Electromagnetic Control].
His Electromagnetic Force was not only a hundred times stronger, but his control was also much stronger. He didn't need to reduce the scale of his attack on the Hulk, nor did he need to concentrate his attacks on vital parts to form a dense attack group similar to a mushroom cloud.
Shazo can attack every part of Hulk's body, even his hands and feet.
Moreover, Hulk's size is enormous, allowing him to attack over a vast area, so Shazo naturally has a great many "projectiles" to use in his attacks.
The barrage of projectiles surrounding the Hulk formed a massive hemisphere with a diameter exceeding one kilometer. With the addition of replenished ammunition, Shazo's controlled area reached a radius of 3 kilometers.
With ample ammunition and sufficient power, a terrifying density of attacks was achieved.
Bathed in 140 to 160 attacks per second, Hulk's body was constantly dented, and because the attacks were so dense, he could hardly let out a complete scream.
Every time Hulk opened his mouth to scream, he would be interrupted by an attack on his chest, and sometimes sharp bullets would even be driven into his mouth.
Interestingly, while Hulk's skin and underwear are indestructible, his teeth can be easily knocked out.
Every time a shell hits his mouth, Hulk loses several teeth and his mouth is filled with blood.
Despite the fierce attack, Hulk did not stop.
He quickly became familiar with the relentless attacks, using his hands to protect his face and the back of his head, bracing himself against the frenzied assault, and approaching Shazo step by step.
Seeing Hulk grinning as he approached, Shazo couldn't help but frown.
He raised his hands again, pulled out all the metal projectiles from the Electromagnetic Cannon, and withdrew from the attack sequence.
Attacks of this level can't even break through Hulk's underwear and skin, so let's just treat it as a control technique to limit Hulk and buy ourselves some time.
Shazo decides to use metal to create more powerful cannonballs and launch a more powerful attack.
He believed that as long as his attack power was further increased, he would eventually be able to break through Hulk's defenses.
These metal blocks were reshaped in mid-air by Electromagnetic Force, transforming into benchmark-shaped projectiles with a diameter-to-length ratio of 1:40.
With their sharp, bright tips, these projectiles look more like spears, with hard metal tips and flexible metal shafts.
The process of shaping the spear-shaped projectiles is also the process of them flying into the distance.
These shells flew all the way to ten kilometers away, reaching the edge of Shazo's electromagnetic field, before entering the starting point of the Electromagnetic Rail one by one.
