"Bang!!"
Their fists collided violently, and a terrifying shockwave suddenly exploded outwards from the two of them, the deafening roar like thunder that reverberated throughout the entire base!
A fierce wind swept across the area, carrying gravel and dust. The soldiers watching from the perimeter covered their ears, their faces turning pale, and hurriedly retreated at full speed to create distance.
The immense recoil caused both of them to slide and fly backwards simultaneously.
In comparison, Wenwu a much farther distance, his body tumbling twice in the air before landing steadily on the ground.
He slightly shook his numb arm, his fingertips throbbing with pain. In a direct physical confrontation, he had indeed fallen into a disadvantageous position.
If his entire skeleton hadn't been made of Uru Divine Steel, he would have surely suffered fractures and injuries from that brute force collision.
His physical strength was now no weaker than that of the original Abomination, but the mutated Stern before him could actually overpower him with his brute force.
"Hahaha! Wenwu!"
Stern's massive green body landed steadily, his face beaming with arrogant laughter, his eyes brimming with ultimate confidence.
"Thanks to the genetic data you gave me, I was able to completely improve and upgrade the serum! The only pity is that I didn't receive gamma-ray irradiation, otherwise I would be a true god on earth now!"
Although he was surprised that Wenwu's physical resilience far exceeded his expectations, he remained certain that his opponent could never defeat him.
"Yeah?"
Wenwu looked up at him, a cold smile slowly curving his lips, his eyes sharp and bright. "Then your uniquely mutated body has immense research value."
"Hmph, trying to study me? You're overestimating yourself!"
Stern's expression hardened, and a flash of resentment appeared in his eyes.
The massive four-meter-tall body instantly tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing, explosive sound, and a heavy punch carrying more than a hundred tons of force slammed down on Wenwu once again!
"Boom!"
Wenwu neither retreated nor dodged, his muscles tensed, and he charged forward again, meeting the attack head-on.
Fortunately, the base plaza was spacious enough to barely accommodate the two fighting.
"Boom boom boom--!!"
Two figures, one tall and one short, were locked in a fierce battle, colliding repeatedly.
Every punch that landed squarely unleashed a massive shockwave, causing the ground to crack and collapse inch by inch, with cracks spreading like a spiderweb across the entire square.
The surrounding fortifications, military facilities, and alloy walls, once hit by the aftershocks, instantly shattered and collapsed, with fragments flying everywhere.
All the soldiers in the distance held their breath and stared in horror.
This terrifying power, capable of tearing the earth apart and destroying military equipment at will, has long been beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Despite appearing to be slightly weaker in strength, Wenwu steadily gained the upper hand in the protracted fight.
With his lightning-fast reflexes, exceptional agility, and skillful use of Tai Chi techniques to deflect Stern's ferocious and tyrannical force each time, he precisely neutralized the impact of Stern's powerful blows, either dissipating them into the ground or redirecting them back towards Dr. Sterns himself.
Stern's relentless, brute-force attacks failed to harm him in the slightest.
"Too slow, Dr. Sterns."
Wenwu dodged the crushing punch to the side, his tone laced with mockery, "What use is brute force if you can't hit me or hurt me?"
Stern's eyes were bloodshot, surging with a frenzied rage; he was both furious and terrified.
He had long known that Wenwu had fused with the Spider Serum, making his reaction speed and agility far surpass those of ordinary people, but he never expected that the other party would also possess such a bizarre method of deflecting force.
All his desperate attacks were easily neutralized!
I admit you're strong!
Stern gritted his teeth and roared, his bone spurs taut, his face full of arrogant confidence, "But you absolutely cannot hurt me! My defenses are impenetrable, no matter how you attack, you won't be able to break through!"
"Just because you have brute force, you think you're invincible?"
Wenwu's eyes turned cold, and as soon as he finished speaking, golden light suddenly exploded around him.
His body instantly transformed into the Uru Body, and his vast Spiritual Power flowed throughout his body. The Uru Body was amplified in all aspects, and he was bathed in brilliant golden light, his aura suddenly increasing several times over!
"What kind of power is this?!"
Stern's pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
The next instant, a flash of golden light appeared before my eyes!
Wenwu's figure vanished from his original spot in an instant, unleashing extreme speed, and suddenly reappeared in front of Stern the next second.
The golden fist, imbued with Spiritual Power and terrifying force, magnified infinitely in Stern's vision!
"Bang!!"
A dull, loud bang exploded!
Stern was as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train; his massive body instantly went out of control and flew backward, drawing a heavy parabola in the air.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the ground surged, and a thick alloy wall rose from the ground, catching his body and preventing the impact from further destroying the base facilities.
Stern fell awkwardly to the ground, his mouth tasted sweet, and he spat out two broken teeth. His head was buzzing, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded.
He had just struggled to his feet when a golden figure appeared in an instant.
With his feet firmly planted in the void, Wenwu channeled his Spiritual Power into his Uru Divine Steel body, making him as powerful as a humanoid divine artifact!
"Boom!!"
He then stomped down hard!
Stern's massive body was stomped into the ground, and the plaza floor instantly exploded into a giant crater, sending debris and dust billowing into the sky!
Without the slightest pause, Wenwu unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, like a tempestuous storm.
The underground metal, drawn by his supernatural power, surged and formed a metallic surface, preventing Stern from being smashed into the ground.
Under the ferocious bombardment, Stern's bone spurs shattered, his scalp torn, and his flesh mangled, with all his teeth broken.
Fortunately, his mutated physique far surpassed that of the Abomination, and his self-healing ability and resistance were extremely strong. He did not suffer fatal injuries, only excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone marrow and swept through his entire body.
"Ah--!!"
The extreme pain completely stimulated Stern, causing him to unleash all his brute force and kick out with both legs, briefly sending Wenwu flying!
The moment he broke free from the suppression, he dared not fight any longer. His eyes were filled with terror. He turned around and fled frantically into the depths of the base, wanting nothing more than to escape this deadly place!
"Heh, you think you can just run away because you can't win? Do you think you can escape?"
Wenwu landed steadily, watching his hastily fleeing figure, a contemptuous smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand and waved it lightly in the air!
The entire earth trembled violently, and the steel cage beneath the square that imprisoned Stern split off, quickly coalescing into a gigantic steel hand ten meters tall!
A giant hand shot out from the air, spanning two hundred meters, precisely locking onto the sprinting Stern, and suddenly closed in to grab him!
"Fuck! What kind of weird ability is this?!"
Stern turned around at the sound and saw the giant steel hand looming overhead, instantly terrified.
He struggled desperately, unleashing all his brute strength, but the giant steel hand remained unmoved, locking him completely in place, his limbs and body utterly bound, unable to move an inch.
No matter how much force he possessed—more than a hundred tons—he could do nothing against the power to Metal Control.
"You... this is your trump card superpower?!"
With only his head visible, Stern stared in horror, his voice trembling as he growled, "After you awakened the X-Gene, your power was manipulating metal?!"
"Good."
Wenwu stepped forward slowly, his tone calm and light, "I must thank you for secretly tampering with things back then, stimulating me to awaken the X-Gene, and giving me this power."
"I was wrong! Mr. Wenwu, I know I was wrong!"
The extreme fear completely shattered Stern's arrogance. He hurriedly begged for mercy in a low voice, his tone extremely humble, "I was blind to your greatness! From this day forward, I swear to be loyal to you to the death and never betray you! Please spare my life!"
"It's too late."
Wenwu's eyes were cold and expressionless. "From the moment you rebelled, you were destined to become my experimental subject."
With a thought, several Vibranium flew out of his laboratory, coalescing into a strong chain with sharp blades at both ends. These blades precisely pierced Stern's powerful mutated body, completely penetrating and locking his bones and muscles.
After binding and restraining him with layers of magic, Wenwu directly imprisoned his body and turned to leave.
After he left, a large number of engineering mechs and guard soldiers quickly entered the site and worked at full speed to repair the broken and collapsed square, collapsed buildings and military facilities.
