Bang, bang!
Circles of white, rolling airwaves exploded in the air.
After three punches, Hyperion, like a constantly accelerating meteor, fell from the sky at an astonishing speed, appearing to ordinary people as a mere instant, and crashed into the center of Manhattan.
Boom!
The World seemed to stand still for a moment; the next second, the ground suddenly cracked, towering buildings collapsed from the shock, and shattered chunks of Earth flew into the air.
The Impact wave swept through the surroundings.
Captain America, Loki, and others were all blown away like Scarecrows.
Rumble, an earthquake more violent than the previous nuclear explosion.
On the outskirts of the city, the shaking, unstable crowd was filled with terror: "God, protect us."
New York has suffered too many disasters; after the alien war, is it another war of gods?
It hadn't stopped yet.
Bang, bang!
Punch after punch, as if the arm of a giant was smashing down fiercely.
Debris bounced, and the ground within several miles seemed to tremble with Ron's fists.
In the city center, a glaring deep pit dozens of meters wide.
At the bottom of the deep, black pit, Ron continuously punched Hyperion, leaving his face bruised and purple, blood flowing from his mouth, and his eyelids so swollen he couldn't open his eyes.
The deep pit extended deeper and deeper with his punches, progressing a few meters at a time.
Hyperion's regeneration ability healed his injuries one second, only for them to worsen the next.
Thump, thump, Hyperion's consciousness gradually blurred. Under dozens of cumulative attacks powerful enough to sink a small island, his vision went black, and he was knocked unconscious.
"A pathetic puppet."
Ron shook the blood off his fists, rose straight into the sky, came above ground, and looked down at the blood-covered, unconscious Hyperion at the bottom of the deep pit.
"Is it over?" Audreyf flew over, glanced at the bottom of the pit, a hint of shock in her eyes, and asked Ron.
She had never seen Ron's true full power and felt that if Ron were serious, he might be able to kill her in an instant.
She held a ribbon in one hand, while Loki was tied by the other end, hanging awkwardly in mid-air with his hands bound.
Ron glanced at Loki, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and took the Mind Stone: "Let's go, we're leaving this place."
The person who wanted to stop him was already lying at the bottom of the pit.
"Hyperion has strong regenerative abilities; he can't be killed in a short time.
It would require continuous attacking for half an hour, perhaps then there might be a chance."
Attacking continuously for half an hour in the center of Manhattan, under the gaze of a crowd, would be too foolish.
Moreover—solving other people's problems isn't his style.
When Hyperion discovers the falsehood of his life, having spent his entire existence under someone else's arrangement and brainwashing, things will become interesting.
"It's easy to release a trapped beast, but once it sees the free World outside, it won't be so easy to lock it back up."
Whoosh, whoosh!
From the horizon came a series of sounds as dozens of fighter jets flew rapidly from the distance.
"Are they coming to rescue him?"
Audreyf's gaze was fixed.
"He's their valuable asset; they certainly don't want to lose him."
Ron put his arm around Audreyf's shoulder, activating his Mind Teleportation ability.
"I just don't know how much longer they can control this weapon."
Bang~ Three figures disappeared.
"It's over…"
Seeing Ron disappear instantly, Captain America sighed after his surprise, feeling somewhat relieved.
However… he turned to look, and on the half-exposed faces of Luke Cage and Peter Parker, there wasn't much joy of saving the World, but rather anger and disappointment.
Strictly speaking, they didn't save the World, and the government's deployment of Hyperion made them feel betrayed; their efforts and struggles seemed like a joke.
…
"You have this ability?
Why did you fly over here then?"
Back at the King's Estate in Wakanda, Audreyf looked around in disbelief, then turned back with furrowed brows.
He could have instantly arrived thousands of miles away, yet he still carried her and flew over.
"I have too many abilities, I forgot."
Ron replied bluntly.
"You…"
Such a perfunctory answer.
Audreyf's eyes widened in anger.
Loki, who had been unceremoniously dropped to the ground with a thud, got up, dazed, and looked around: "Where is this?"
It seemed to be inside a room in a manor.
Ron sat down, coldly watching Loki, toying with the scepter in his hand, contemplating whether to kill this 'weak god'.
"Ron, on my first day back on Earth, I used the Mind Stone to turn Nick Fury into my subordinate."
Under his gaze, Loki felt a chill down his spine, as if he were a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and quickly said.
"I ordered him to acquire a large-yield dirty bomb and have people bury it on your country's border."
"If you don't want a brilliant firework to explode on your country's border, you'd best release me."
He threatened Ron with the safety of the Wakandan people, hoping to escape safely. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded on the border, it could still affect some towns, killing at least tens of thousands of people.
Ron chuckled: "Najia."
"Your Majesty, I'm here." A voice responded from the room.
"Go to the northwest border…"
He gave an order, and Najia went to carry it out. Loki broke out in a cold sweat because the location he had just given was the exact spot he and Nick Fury had planned.
"Do you have any other tricks?"
Like looking at a grasshopper in his palm that couldn't jump out no matter how hard it tried, he asked slowly.
"You… Yes, you."
In fear and panic, Loki turned to Audreyf, pleading for help.
"I remember you called Earth Midgard; are you from the Nine Realms?"
"So what?" Audreyf frowned.
"I am Odin's son, stranded in Midgard; you must save me." Loki straightened up, commanding with cold arrogance: "When I return to Asgard…"
Before he could finish, a flick of the ribbon sent Loki flying, his mouth swollen high.
He stood up, touching the blood in his mouth, with disbelieving anger: "You actually dared to hit the son of Odin, Lord of the Nine Realms."
"Enough, stop disgracing the Asgardian royal family!" Audreyf reprimanded with a frown. If possible, she truly wanted to cut off this guy's head with a sword.
He stroked his chin, watching the sibling farce with interest.
…
Finally, at Audreyf's request, Ron didn't kill Loki, only imprisoned him in the Vibranium cage originally prepared for Audreyf.
That cage, after briefly holding Odin's daughter for a day, now welcomed another son of Odin.
Everything has a price, and Ron's mercy was not given lightly.
Audreyf had no choice but to agree to one of his demands.
Ron demanded that she resume her daily assassination attempts on him.
"I've never heard of such a request, asking someone to assassinate oneself?"
Before witnessing Ron's true strength in the Battle of New York, Audreyf felt she couldn't assassinate Ron at all. After the Battle of New York, she believed it even more so. She was somewhat indignant; if this continued, would it be a daily assassination or a daily 'benefit' delivery?
"Even fierce beasts have times when they lose their claws; maintaining vigilance is very important."
Ron emphasized lightly.
His demand was non-negotiable.
Otherwise, someone's brother, who had twice invaded Earth and caused countless deaths, would be in mortal danger in prison.
Thus, the cold and beautiful daughter of the God-King, for the sake of her troublesome brother, began her daily assassination attempts with a mix of apprehension and shame, knowing they would fail and that she would be 'accidentally' taken advantage of by someone.
…
After the Battle of New York, the Avengers became heroes and were widely publicized. The United States Government issued strong commendations to everyone.
However, they deliberately concealed Ron's role in it.
It was the government that launched the nuclear bomb when the Avengers could no longer hold on; the nuclear bomb destroyed the alien mothership, causing all alien forces to lose contact and become incapacitated, thereby saving Earth.
In the skies above New York, everyone witnessed the shocking battle between what seemed like two gods. It was Wakanda's King Ron illegally entering the country, attempting to seize a precious alien artifact jointly owned by the United States Government and S.H.I.E.L.D., and he was obstructed by a secret hero dispatched by the government. Unfortunately, the secret hero was narrowly defeated, and the item was still taken.
But when this statement came out, even Luke Cage, who usually accepted mercenary work for money, was unwilling to claim credit and speak for the United States Government.
"Although I really don't want to admit that it was someone who once mercilessly punched me down from over twenty stories who saved Earth, unfortunately, it's the truth."
"Our role in it might have been to try our best to hold back the Chitauri forces and prevent them from harming too many people, buying time for Mr. Ron to arrive."
Spider-Man became completely famous after joining the Avengers, his fame no longer confined to the New York City populace. He still acted as a friendly neighbor to the New York City residents, combating crime within New York City. During one interview, he said, then casually asked: "By the way, I heard cameras are expensive; how's the income for a journalist?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark is busy planning with designers for the reconstruction of a brand new Stark Tower and cannot accept interviews."
A spokesperson for Stark Industries stepped forward, blocking the reporters.
Iron Man Stark made no statements. He admitted that saving the World was not his doing, but he also didn't want to let someone gain too much fame through his words.
He merely had Jarvis post an edited video recording online, from the first-person perspective of his suit.
Although it seemed to subtly include some personal bias, with many close-ups of Stark's Iron Legion in the video, the truth of the matter became clear immediately.
It sparked a wave of heated discussion globally, and the huge scandal severely damaged the United States Government's credibility.
The public angrily accused the government of disregarding human lives, of being impatient to drop a nuclear bomb on their own city shortly after the alien invasion, even though there was a solution!
At the same time, Ron once again became a huge hot topic. Online, the public discussed everything about him: his status, his appearance, his strength, his contributions…
The public's consensus seemed to be summarized in one sentence.
"With the appearance of a god, a hero who saved the World, the most powerful man on Earth, the strongest man on Earth!"
A king of a nation, as handsome as a god, with strength powerful enough to protect Earth—countless Ron supporters emerged on Earth.
…
"With the new city built, it's time for a trip to the Moon."
Wakanda, a few days later, Ron was preparing to travel to the Moon. During these past few days of rest and relaxation, the new city he had ordered Wakanda to build was already complete.
Ability Points: 980,000
Ability points were nearing one million, not far from exchanging for the Odin template, which made his heart feel a little warm.
"Five thousand years of lifespan, Odin's vast divine power."
Some readers have commented on the update time issue. Wangshan will try to adjust it in the next two days.
Mainly, every day is live coding, and the updates only come out around this time, so adjusting is a bit difficult.
But I will still strive to update earlier and fix it, for example, every evening at 8 or 10 PM, instead of waiting until midnight.
