However, those who still dared to stay here at this time were rarely innocent.
After all, if they were truly innocent, they would have fled at the very start of the disaster...
As for Ryan and Morlun, located at the center of the collision, they bore not just the aftershocks, but the full force of each other's power!
First was Morlun; the arm he used for the clash exploded directly into a bloody mist, and he was sent flying back through several streets before crashing into and collapsing a building to a stop!
Next was Ryan. This time, Ryan wasn't as relaxed as usual; his legs were buried deep into the ground, and he plowed a furrow two miles long into the Earth before finally stopping!
A single punch from Morlun in his berserk state would probably beat the crap out of even the Hulk!
And somehow, without anyone noticing, the Hulk had become a unit of measurement~
But what Ryan cared about most wasn't actually the power Morlun erupted with, or even Morlun himself.
It was that his Symbiote suit had actually sustained damage for the first time!
Ryan looked down at his right arm, which had just traded blows with Morlun; the Symbiote was currently dispersed like a liquid, and his eyes couldn't help but show some surprise!
One must know that this was an enhanced version of the Symbiote that had gone through several rounds of strengthening and had all its weaknesses covered!
It seemed that while the Symbiote suit was effective in low-end matches, it still had its limitations as a suit in truly high-end battles!
After all, when trading punches with an enemy, the first thing to take the hit is definitely the suit on the surface. If the suit can't handle it, it's no good even if he can withstand it himself!
He didn't want his clothes to suddenly explode in a battle against a powerful enemy in the future, forcing him to fight while swinging his 'Little Spider' around...
It seemed he had to find a way to get a better suit, or find an existence that could greatly enhance Riot's defensive power to devour...
But for now, he could only make do with it...
He'd just have to be careful next and not let Morlun's attacks hit his more... exposed parts...
Watching the Symbiote suit re-condensing on his arm, Ryan didn't feel like waiting for it to recover slowly on its own.
With a flick of his hand, countless Symbiote tentacles shot out, dragging several Thugs who were originally engaged in 'zero-dollar shopping' out of a store with smashed windows, and began to suck them dry aggressively!
Weren't there 'energy bars' for replenishing energy everywhere here?
In the blink of an eye, all the men were absorbed into dried meat strips by the Symbiote tentacles...
This was the advantage of fighting on his home turf; in this city, Ryan had an endless supply of 'Heads' to replenish his energy during battle!
But Morlun didn't have an endless supply of Spider-Men to replenish his energy!
Ryan casually devoured a few Heads and completely replenished the Symbiote's damage and consumption. On the other side, Morlun, who had flown much further, wasn't having such an easy time...
Every member of Inheritor Family had self-healing abilities comparable to Wolverine, but that self-healing consumed their own energy!
One had 'zero consumption' while the other had consumption; who was stronger and who was weaker was obvious at a glance!
On the other side, by the time Morlun crawled out of the collapsed building, he saw Ryan standing perfectly intact in front of the ruins with his arms crossed, waiting for him to come out.
Looking at Ryan, whose suit wasn't even slightly dirty, Morlun's eyes were full of disbelief: "How can this be..."
Why was it that no matter how strong he became, the opponent was like a mountain he could never surpass, with no end in sight!
Could it be that the Destiny Spider in the prophecy, who would exterminate Inheritor Family, didn't possess some special means to kill them, but was simply just strong enough?
"I don't believe it!!!"
Morlun roared, and his exploded right arm suddenly sprayed out a large amount of black plasma. As the right arm twisted, it formed a red and black blade several meters long, which he swung violently upward at Ryan!
Swoosh——————
Ryan didn't even uncross his arms; with just a slight sideways tilt of his body, he perfectly evaded Morlun's unparalleled slash!
He dodged it, but the skyscraper behind him suffered!
The power erupted by Morlun's slash actually split a hundred-meter-tall skyscraper in two from the middle!
Amidst the screams of countless people inside, the building slowly tilted to both sides, hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust that reached the sky!
Ryan had no intention of acting like Spider-Man to go and rescue them; instead, a blade several meters long also extended from his right arm!
Clang————————
In the next moment, amidst the sound of clashing metal, a black and red figure broke through the smoke raised by the falling building and crashed violently into another even taller skyscraper nearby!
A silver-gray figure followed closely behind, entering that skyscraper after the black and red figure!
Next, the people fleeing around that skyscraper were horrified to find that loud crashing noises were constantly coming from within, accompanied by the terrifying sight of long blades piercing through the building and extending outside!
And on those blades extending from the building, crimson blood hung and dripped continuously!
No one knew if this blood belonged to Morlun, Ryan, or... the people inside the building...
No one even knew if these blades piercing the building were Morlun's, Ryan's, or... both of theirs...
Inside the building, where blade shadows intertwined, one man's arm was a blade formed of blood, while the other's was a blade formed of a Symbiote!
The two were extremely fast; in their exchanges, even the high-tech cameras inside the building couldn't capture which of the two afterimages was which!
And guess what the most coincidental thing was?
That was... the boss behind this building was actually Nick Fury!
And why would Nick Fury, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., own a building in Harlem?
Naturally, as the most corrupt hand in S.H.I.E.L.D., our 'exceptionally brilliant' Director Nick Fury had realized long ago that he couldn't keep relying on embezzling funds allocated by The Security Council to supplement the forces he was secretly cultivating.
He needed a business that could generate money on its own, so that even if his embezzlement was discovered by The Security Council and they stopped funding him, he would still have a profitable business to make money!
Therefore, over the years, by skimming off the funds The Security Council allocated to S.H.I.E.L.D. and using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology, Nick Fury had secretly established a tech company in his hometown of Harlem to make a profit for himself!
Relying on his status as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and made tech company could be said to be thriving in Harlem!
This company was also one of his secret Bases, and the employees inside were all his confidants!
For example, members of his Fury Family and some of the Skrullss who had come to Earth over the years were disguised as humans, living comfortably with high salaries inside this building!
At least... that was the case until today!
But... today, the good days for these Skrullss, whom Nick Fury supported by embezzling funds from The Security Council, were over!
Because... judgment had arrived!
As the two terrifying figures brought the battlefield into this tech building, these Skrullss, whose average physical fitness was significantly stronger than Earthlings, were now like ants, swatted to death like bothersome bugs in the middle of the two's battle!
Resist?
Non-existent!
They fired their company's highest-tech weapons at Ryan and Morlun, but they couldn't even get the two combatants to spare them a proper glance. With just a casual swing of their blades, as if swatting flies, this temporary Skrulls resistance force was completely cut in half, leaving their blood and guts to flow like rain inside the building!
In fact, for these Skrullss inside the building, even wanting to escape was a pipe dream!
Because the battle between the two was simply too intense, and the process too fast!
So fast that their escape speed couldn't keep up with the two's destruction speed!
Before the first Skrulls could even reach the building's exit, two blades burst out from the center of the building, one on the left and one on the right, and then, carrying terrifying power, they crashed into each other!
Clang————————
Rumble rumble rumble rumble——————————
After a deafening impact...
The building... began to collapse!
All the Skrullss inside the building were buried under the collapsing structure amidst desperate shrieks!
And at this moment, on a street not far from this building, a man was holding a little girl, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared fixedly at the collapsing building amidst the screams!
His name was Talos, the current leader of the Skrulls race and the body double who often replaced Nick Fury. His wife... was currently working inside that collapsing building!
And the little girl in his arms was his daughter, whom he had finally found the time to bring along to deliver a meal to his wife today since he didn't have to fill in for Nick Fury!
This was supposed to be a warm daily routine for a family of three, but Talos never expected it would be such a cruel final farewell!
Talos stared at the two figures who had rushed out of the collapsing building as if nothing had happened, his eyes full of venom as he roared with a raspy voice: "Ryan Parker, I want you dead!!!"
