Battle Begins! Yu Xian vs. Abomination! The System Notes: Pay Special Attention to the Word "Base" in the Combat Power Prompt

Military helicopter.

General Ross, Banner, and the others stared at the screen full of raging flames, their expressions frozen.

The fierce blaze was so intense that they did not even need to look at the screen; they could already see the towering flames in the distance from the helicopter.

Before General Ross could question the soldiers below—

Bzz—bzz—

After a burst of electrical static, the display went completely black. Then, a young girl's face appeared on the screen.

She had a mixed-race face, just over twenty years old, with wheat-colored skin and Asian features.

She wore light eye makeup, and her delicate face, paired with slightly curled brown hair, fully displayed her mixed-race charm.

Skye grinned.

"Hi, General Ross!"

"Hope we didn't interrupt your flight!"

"The captain asked me to remind you that you lost this round of the bet!"

"From now on, Dr. Banner is free!"

General Ross's face instantly turned livid when he heard those words.

Right, right!

So this was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scheme.

He had originally thought that the bet would only begin after he captured Banner.

But unexpectedly—

That guy named Yu Xian had actually found a way to make Emil Blonsky mutate.

He had miscalculated!

He had thought Blonsky would only pose a risk after being injected with the serum.

He had been played from the very beginning!!!

This had been a bet he was destined to lose!!!

Who could have imagined that someone out there could continue modifying a super soldier?

General Ross took a deep breath and slowly said, "I'll accept this trap."

"But what do we do now?"

"We can't let that monster escape from Central Park."

"Otherwise, there'll be a large-scale casualty event!"

Fortunately, the incident had happened in Central Park.

If it had happened on the streets, the consequences would have been unimaginable. No one knew how many people that monster would have killed.

"Since General Ross has admitted that he lost the bet!"

"Then leave the rest to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Y Squad!"

"Until next time, General Ross!"

Bzz—bzz—

The screen went dark before returning to the image of the soldiers.

The flames had already begun to shrink, revealing the figure wreathed in fire within!

The feeling of unleashing his full power was simply incredible!

Yu Xian held Ryūjin Jakka in his hand. The flames filling the sky seemed to heed a summons and, in a brief instant, surged into Ryūjin Jakka.

"Hey, Blonsky, you had your fun beating me up, right?"

"Now it's my turn!"

"Shadow Imitation Technique!!!"

Under the illumination of the flames, Yu Xian instantly used the ninjutsu that he normally could not perform at night.

His shadow stretched along the firelight and, in an instant, connected to Abomination's shadow before he could react.

"W-What is this?" Abomination's body suddenly became unable to move, and then he began to mirror Yu Xian's movements.

"A freshly developed improved Konoha ninjutsu! You're lucky. As my first test subject, I'll make sure you enjoy yourself!"

Yu Xian pointed the tip of Ryūjin Jakka at Abomination and slashed.

"Torch!"

A thick pillar of fire shot into the sky, then descended vertically like heavenly punishment, striking Abomination with perfect accuracy.

The pillar of fire instantly swallowed Abomination whole, its temperature high enough to melt steel.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Abomination's miserable scream pierced through the flames. He struggled within the pillar of fire as his skin burned and peeled away, exposing newly grown tissue beneath, which was immediately charred again.

In the firelight—

The nearby trees and grass were all dyed crimson.

In the distance—

Passersby looking over in terror took out their phones to record this "apocalyptic scene" from afar.

"That move from the captain was way too cool," Skye sighed from a safe distance.

She wondered if she would ever have the chance in her life to be as awesome as the captain.

"This won't work. It'll only enrage him for nothing. I can feel the opponent's aura becoming more terrifying as he gets injured!" Medea frowned as she watched the battle, ready to act at any moment.

"The captain is probably still playing around!"

"Seeing how happy he looks, it's hard to imagine that beneath the instincts of a captain who loves slacking off, there's a hidden love of battle!"

Catalina, already clad in Valkyrie, clearly saw the delighted expression on Yu Xian's face through the mech's long-range view.

That was right.

Yu Xian was enjoying the battle.

Perhaps—

Besides slacking off—

This was one of his few other hobbies!

"This time, I'll use every skill I have!"

"Roar!!!"

After enduring the agony of the burning flames, Abomination finally began to adapt little by little. With a roar, he struggled free from the pillar of fire.

After emerging, Abomination stomped one massive foot. The ground instantly cracked apart in great swaths, and the stones on the ground were launched into the air by the tremendous force.

Abomination swept his massive hand, sending the stones flying at Yu Xian like miniature meteors or bullets.

"Ice-Make Magic—Ice Shield!!!"

A layer of crystalline ice shield appeared before Yu Xian, followed by another, then another.

In the blink of an eye—

A full ten layers of ice shields appeared, meeting Abomination's attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two attacks canceled each other out.

Seizing the chance, Yu Xian used a skill he had never used before for the first time.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!!!"

A massive flame attack hundreds of meters long suddenly appeared across the flat area of Sheep Meadow.

Boom!

A small mushroom cloud of fire slowly formed.

The tourists in the distance watched the dangerous battle within and discussed it among themselves.

"God, what is that? Has the god of fire descended?"

"Holy crap, seriously, holy crap!!!"

"Damn, this is even more exciting and cooler than the battle footage of the Winter Lord!"

"Uh, could it be because that battle was too short?"

"That monster-like thing in the distance... could it be a bioweapon? A real-life version of Resident Evil?"

"Damn, you might be right! That monster really does look a lot like the zombie boss from that!"

"Guys, guys! Follow and send gifts! The streamer can risk his life to get closer and film it!"

The livestream chat instantly exploded:

"Streamer, you want money more than your life! Certified madman!"

"Streamer, if you can get clear shots of their faces and capture the appearance of that guy covered in flames, I'll send you ten rockets!"

"Hiss~ Rich boss, please support me. Your little brother doesn't want to work hard anymore!"
