"This... this is..."

Seeing Fang Mo suddenly appear before them, the two soldiers were stunned. But soon, a sense of relief flooded their chests. Their legs gave out, and they collapsed, gasping for air.

Only now did they realize their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

"What is that thing?!"

General Ross, who witnessed all of this from a distance, was also shocked.

He had seen it with his own eyes. Although this guy looked no different from a normal person, he had appeared out of thin air. It was too bizarre to comprehend. So where did this guy come from? Was it some kind of monster carnival day today?

However, compared to everyone else, Abomination became even more excited.

Even being hit on the head by a car only made him lean back slightly. He quickly readjusted his stance, revealing an eager and ferocious smile.

"A little bug... good."

Abomination said excitedly, "Before I defeat the Hulk, I'll use you to warm up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent instantly locked onto Fang Mo.

Of course, Fang Mo was not intimidated. On the contrary, he was even a little excited. Just now, a long-lost electronic prompt had sounded in his mind.

[System prompt: New module feature detected. Download permission can be obtained after research.]

Hearing this heavenly sound, Fang Mo also became a little excited. The Abomination before him exuded a terrifying aura. The scenes of him fighting bosses in the server in the past began to reappear one by one in Fang Mo's mind, making him feel a surge of adrenaline.

Steve appeared behind him like a ghost. Then Fang Mo smiled at Abomination, "Trash, come and die."

"Roar!!!"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, Abomination instantly became enraged and charged at him.

Despite his excitement, Fang Mo didn't do anything foolish like "punching Abomination." After all, it was the same principle as playing a game. Before a player's equipment is fully formed, fighting a boss requires more skill.

So, Fang Mo moved his fingers, and the ground in front of Abomination was suddenly lifted. Abomination, unable to react in time, crashed into it. Unfortunately, the hardness of the asphalt road was no match for his body. The next second, the ground shattered, and Abomination, grinning, charged out.

However, when he looked up, he found that Fang Mo had already disappeared.

"…?"

Abomination froze for a moment, then he suddenly felt a faint sting on his back, as if he had been scratched by something. He immediately turned and swung his fist, only to find nothing behind him.

Seeing this, Abomination was also a bit bewildered.

He subconsciously touched his back. His fingertips felt something slippery. When he pulled his hand back, he saw that it was already covered with some sticky yellow-green blood.

"Despicable bug!"

Realizing he was injured, Abomination was instantly consumed by rage and began to indiscriminately destroy everything around him. "You think this can hurt me? Come out! Fight me!"

As Abomination descended into a frenzy, nearby cars, the ground, and even buildings suffered. Countless cars were crushed, fire hydrants were smashed open. In short, the entire street was burning and raining, truly chaotic.

Meanwhile, Fang Mo stood on a rooftop not far away, observing Abomination's every move.

He had to admit, his Stand was still a bit weak.

Although Steve's iron sword could easily kill terrorists like cutting watermelons, its attack power was clearly insufficient against a tough monster like Abomination.

Fang Mo's plan was well-thought-out. He first used Ender Hand to attract Abomination's attention, and then his Stand, Steve, would sneak around from behind and backstab him.

The idea was ideal, but Fang Mo had underestimated Abomination's defense.

Steve's full-power leaping slash only left a wound a few inches deep on Abomination's back.

For a monster over three meters tall, this wound was nothing. It was like a normal person being poked by a toothpick. The pain only served to anger him and make him more berserk.

However, even so, Fang Mo did not get discouraged.

After all, in the Twilight Forest module, the Hydra's health was much greater than Abomination's, but what good did that do? Wasn't he, Fang Mo, the one who poked it to death with a sword?

"Today, I'll let you understand what it means to be a small knife poking your butt."

Thinking of this, Fang Mo's lips curved into a slight arc.

He reached out and made a grasping motion. A water tower on the rooftop was suddenly pulled into the air by immense force and then hurled directly at Abomination.

"Huh?"

Abomination, in his berserk state, seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked up and saw the water tower flying towards him. He then stomped his legs and dodged to the side.

The water tower heavily impacted the ground, creating countless splashes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Steve, who had been waiting for a long time, thrust his sword out like a ghost. Abomination felt his left eye go black, and the next second, excruciating pain made him let out a miserable howl.

"Aow!!!"

After his eye was severely hit, Abomination attacked wildly in front of him as if he had gone mad.

Without the addition of other modules, Steve's movement speed was actually not very fast. Facing Abomination's rapid barrage, he could no longer dodge. But Fang Mo's combat awareness was extremely strong, and he instantly controlled Steve to raise his shield for defense.

With a loud bang, a shockwave suddenly rippled through the air.

"Huh?"

Abomination felt as if he had hit an alloy wall. His fist throbbed with pain, so he raised his head in surprise. But there was nothing in front of him, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

However, Abomination's past as a soldier, combined with the previous signs, made him instantly realize that the enemy was invisible.

"Bug! I know your secret now!"

Abomination roared excitedly, then grabbed a huge concrete pillar beside him and began to spin it wildly like a pinwheel, seemingly intending to force the enemy to reveal themselves with this area-of-effect attack. "Come out! Let me crush you into dust!"

Fang Mo, of course, ignored Abomination.

In fact, he was currently feeling the pain of his shield's durability.

He had to admit, the damage from Abomination's punch was truly high. His shield's durability dropped significantly in an instant. Fortunately, MC's rules stated that shields could use durability to offset attack damage; otherwise, his Stand would have been left with very little health after taking such a punch.

"Looks like I need a new approach..."

Fang Mo slowly raised his hand, a faint purple light illuminating his palm.

A car not far away suddenly flew up and smashed into Abomination out of thin air.

Seeing this, Abomination directly swung the concrete pillar and smashed it hard at the car. With a bang, the car was smashed into pieces, but the next second, another car flew towards him, so Abomination swung the concrete pillar again.

And when the third car flew over, Abomination raised the concrete pillar as usual. But the next second, his feet slipped. The ground inexplicably caved in, forming a pit. Steve, who was hiding underground, immediately drew his iron sword and began hacking at Abomination's Achilles tendon.

Fang Mo's excuse for this was... helping him with a pedicure.

"ROAR!!!"

Feeling the sharp pain in his foot, Abomination immediately tried to pull his leg out of the pit. However, a car suddenly smashed onto his head. As Fang Mo clenched his palm, the car was instantly compressed into a metal shell by immense force, firmly stuck on Abomination's head.

By the time Abomination finally tore off the metal shell on his head and pulled his leg out of the pit, his Achilles tendon had already been hacked into a bloody mess by Steve.

Before he could even get angry, a green figure suddenly pounced from the side, grabbed Abomination, and pinned him to the ground. Then, riding on top of him, it began raining down punches without any preamble. Fists the size of washbasins fell like a storm, cracking the asphalt road, as if the entire block could feel the ground shaking.

"An-another one?"

The fleeing crowd was stunned into silence upon witnessing this scene. This was the third monster they had seen today. Everything seemed to have descended into chaos. What was happening to New York?

"Hmm? Hulk?"

Seeing the massive green figure, Fang Mo also immediately realized. Yes, this battle was originally supposed to be between him and Abomination, but he had interfered. Now it seemed Hulk had indeed made his appearance.

It was just that while Hulk's entrance seemed powerful, Dr. Bruce Banner had just injected the serum to inhibit gamma energy. This resulted in Hulk's strength being significantly weakened. This entire sequence of actions didn't inflict any real damage on Abomination; instead, he kicked Hulk away in a fit of rage.

"Get lost! Hulk!"

Abomination roared, "My target isn't you right now! I'm going to kill that damn bug first!"

But before Abomination could finish speaking, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly rang out. Abomination, who had just gotten back on his feet, was staggered again. He angrily looked up and discovered that the one attacking him was a helicopter.

This was General Ross's personal aircraft, and Bruce Banner's girlfriend, Betty, was currently on board, looking at the Hulk with concern. Beside them, a soldier was operating a Gatling gun, madly spewing flames at Abomination, attempting to suppress him with firepower.

"Ross..."

A flicker of disgust and hatred flashed in Abomination's eyes. He suddenly grabbed a piece of sheet metal nearby and hurled it forcefully at the helicopter.

"Evasive maneuvers!"

General Ross shouted in panic, but the human pilot's reaction speed couldn't keep up. The next second, the sheet metal directly hit the helicopter's tail rotor, and a burst of fire erupted as the helicopter spun and crashed towards the ground.

Hulk, who had been kicked away by Abomination, also crawled up groggily and happened to look up and witness the scene.

Seeing Betty's panicked and terrified expression, he was instantly enraged.

From now on, I will try my best to update two chapters a day, with each chapter being 3K words. As a new author with a new book, you all should understand that it's very difficult to write a novel with a style like MC well. Hoarding books is not a good habit, and new authors will truly die slowly...

I hope everyone can vote more to encourage the new author. Don't wait until the author feels no one is reading and gives up, then come back to complain about unfinished plots. Thank you all very much.
