That's right, it wasn't just isolation, but eradication!
The Nova Corps first sent a fast-moving vanguard to surround and isolate Earth, preventing anyone from escaping and spreading the virus into the Universe, and then...
The Nova Corps' Planet-killing weapons would arrive to carry out 'disinfection' on Earth...
And the 'disinfection' method adopted by the Nova Corps was to directly destroy the surface of the Earth, just like in the Jurassic period, performing a physical sterilization!
If virus residues were still detected after the Earth's surface was destroyed once, the Nova Corps would use their Planet-killing weapons to directly destroy this azure Planet!
This was the Nova Corps' way of handling things—so dark, so realistic!
But how did the Nova Corps know that the zombie virus was spreading on Earth?
This, naturally, was thanks to our 'brilliant' S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, Nick Fury!
The signal transmitter that S.H.I.E.L.D. manufactured and shrunk using Pym Particles technology had actually been successfully sent into outer space by S.H.I.E.L.D. a year ago, transmitting the signal out.
S.H.I.E.L.D. intended to get help from the Nova Corps, but little did they know that after receiving the news, the Nova Corps' plan was to simply destroy the Earth and be done with it!
Fortunately, by the time S.H.I.E.L.D. sent that signal transmitter into space, Zombie Wanda had already regained her self-awareness.
Out of curiosity about what S.H.I.E.L.D. could possibly do, Zombie Wanda quietly followed the Quinjet that went to outer space to transmit the signal.
Then, through the pilot's conversation with Nick Fury, she learned of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s idiotic plan, which even she, a zombie, found incredibly naive.
Subsequently, Zombie Wanda, thinking S.H.I.E.L.D. were idiots, naturally killed the pilot and sank the Quinjet.
Not only that, to prevent this group of S.H.I.E.L.D. troublemakers from making any more brain-dead moves that might affect her 'salvation' plan...
After returning to Earth, Wanda bathed all remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. branches around the World in blood.
Since the signal had already been sent, Wanda simply included the Nova Corps as part of her plan to 'save the World' in her own way.
Having long known the Nova Corps was unreliable, she had deliberately left the Quinjet from a year ago in front of Kamala and her two companions—the partners she had initially chosen—before the formal plan began. She guided them to obtain the signal transmitter and go through various hardships before finally cooperating with her.
However, Ryan appeared as an anomaly...
And yesterday was the time the Planet-killing weapons transported by the Nova Corps officially arrived in Earth's outer space.
So Wanda wasn't lying to Ryan yesterday; she really did have a very important matter, which was going to outer space to infect all the Nova Corps members surrounding Earth and intercepting the Nova Corps' Planet-killing weapons.
In other words, Zombie Wanda now not only has a Nova Corps fleet as a trump card, but more importantly, she has a Nova Corps Planet-killing weapon as a backup!
This was a backup Wanda kept in case she couldn't defeat Infinite Hulk, and also to prevent unexpected situations from occurring.
Like an anomaly like Ryan~
Although Ryan didn't know Wanda had such a backup, his miraculous Spider-Sense had already begun to tingle faintly.
He had already sensed that faint feeling of danger from the sky.
However, within his Spider-Sense, this sense of danger seemed to be within his tolerance—the kind of non-lethal danger that, even if it could cause him harm, would be limited.
As long as it wasn't a feat that could instant-kill him, he had plenty of ways to deal with it or escape.
Thus, one confident and one indifferent, the two old foxes headed toward the final land of this apocalyptic World with their own hidden agendas.
Wanda, wearing a Kamar-Taj Master's Sling Ring obtained from who-knows-where on her finger, gave an elegant, gentle wave.
In the next moment, a large number of massive portals appeared in the sky and on the ground behind Ryan.
"Let's go, our Savior. It's time for us to join hands and save this erroneous World~"
Wanda led Zombie Namo and Zombie Thor slowly toward Ryan. As she passed him, she spoke leisurely before stepping into a portal behind him.
The zombie humans, zombie undersea people on the ground, and the zombie Asgardian army in the sky all followed in the footsteps of the three zombie kings, entering one massive portal after another.
At this time, Moon Knight, who had been released from the Chaos Magic restraint, walked to Ryan's side. For the first time, a look of worry appeared on that perpetually calm face:
"You are extreme, and the Queen of the Dead is even more extreme. Can two extreme people like you really reverse this World's plight, rather than leading it into a deeper abyss?"
"Wrong!" Ryan shook his head upon hearing this, then grinned at Moon Knight. "That little Witch is nowhere near as extreme as I am!"
After speaking, Ryan faced the firelight of the portal and walked against the light, stepping inside.
Moon Knight was helpless, but with his meager strength, he couldn't change anything. He could only follow; at least he could be a witness.
A witness to this World's rebirth, or perhaps a witness to its destruction.
After one step, even the air became different.
After Ryan stepped out of the portal, he first closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the radioactive scent of the Infinity Stones, filled with Gamma radiation, looking completely intoxicated.
This stuff is pure!
Ryan opened his eyes, his gaze burning as he looked toward the distance, the source of the Infinity Stones' aura.
It was Hulk, standing before a six-colored pillar of light, with six-colored flames rising from his body!
Clearly, Infinite Hulk could no longer suppress the surging Infinity power within his body, causing the energy of the Infinity Stones to overflow!
Even before the fight started, Ryan could already feel the dangerous aura emanating from Infinite Hulk!
The danger warning his Spider-Sense gave him this time was far stronger than that of the strongest person he had ever encountered, Solus, the patriarch of the Inheritor Family!
Solus was only strong in a certain aspect, and his abilities specifically countered owners of animal totems.
But Infinite Hulk was different. His strength lay in the fact that, due to the blessing of the six Infinity Stones, he was strong in every aspect!
Mind, Soul, Power, Reality, Space, Time—he was practically a perfect hexagonal warrior!
Wanda floated to Ryan's side and said indifferently, "You first, or me first?"
Ryan smiled slightly and made a 'please' gesture to Wanda: "Ladies first, of course~"
Hearing this, Wanda rolled her eyes. Now he knows 'ladies first'?
However, she didn't argue, but instead waved her hand at Zombie Namo.
Receiving the command, Zombie Namo didn't hesitate for a second. Leading the warriors of the undersea race, he launched a charge toward Infinite Hulk!
Zombie Namo's constitution was already strong enough, and under the empowerment of Wanda's Chaos Magic, his strength could be exerted at 200%, making his power comparable to Hulk's!
And since he could fly, he was even stronger than a normal Hulk. In just two blinks of an eye, he left the zombie army far behind and rushed before Infinite Hulk alone.
But don't forget, no matter how much Zombie Namo was enhanced by Wanda's Chaos Magic, he was still only equivalent to a normal Hulk at most.
And the current Hulk was no normal Hulk!
He was Infinite Hulk, possessing the power of the Infinity Stones!
Facing the pouncing Zombie Namo, Infinite Hulk simply threw a punch, blasting Zombie Namo until not even dregs remained!
Furthermore, the power of this punch didn't stop there. The six-colored fist wind, containing the energy of the Infinity Stones, swept out in a fan shape, wiping out the entire army of undersea zombies led by Zombie Namo in a single blow!
With just this one punch, Atlantis was wiped out!
The aftershocks of that fist wind even blew Ryan's hair into a slicked-back style, even though he was outside the attack range!
It made him look like he was cosplaying Aizen.
But Ryan didn't care about his hairstyle; he just clapped his hands leisurely:
"Impressive! As expected of Hulk! Even with a portion of the power of the six Infinity Stones, he still only uses the old-fashioned trick of 'brute force creates miracles'!"
