"Too high..." Ryan slightly raised his head, his indifferent eyes looking up at Wanda, who looked down on him like a queen, as he spoke slowly.
Wanda, atop the fortress, was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out what Ryan meant, ten iron rings shining with iridescent light had already left Ryan's arms, flying over in a series of 'whooshes'!
Boom!
In just one encounter, that Steel Fortress, which could trap 99% of the World's superhumans, was directly blown to smithereens by the Ten Rings!
Your Steel Fortress is great, but unfortunately, I just happen to be that exceptional 1%~
And Ryan's combined strike with the Ten Rings could also kill 99% of the World's superpowered individuals in an instant.
But similarly, the three people on the fortress happened to be the 1% who could withstand the aftershocks of this blow...
Looking at the three figures walking out from the debris of the fortress that had been blown into iron filings, Ryan smiled slightly:
"This is much better. Remember, when facing me in the future, don't stand so high. I don't like people looking at me with that condescending gaze..."
"If there's a next time, it won't be such a simple warning; it'll be a spanking~"
Hearing this, the smile on Wanda's face froze. She didn't expect him to strike her so ruthlessly just for such a trivial reason!
The smile on Wanda's face slowly disappeared as she said gloomily, "What a heartless partner~"
Facing Wanda's resentful gaze, Ryan didn't care at all. He just glanced at Zombie Namor and Zombie Thor on her left and right and said indifferently:
"Where's my person? Don't tell me you've already killed them along with the survivors of this Base. If so, there's no need to keep these two beside you either."
As he spoke, the Ten Rings that had flown out earlier suddenly emerged from the flames of the fortress explosion, splitting into two sets of five rings that circled around Zombie Namor and Zombie Thor.
With just a thought from Ryan, those Ten Rings would blow their heads off!
Although the three had survived unscathed when the Ten Rings blew up the fortress just now, it was because Ryan hadn't made them the primary targets.
If he had targeted the three of them, except for Zombie Wanda, the other two wouldn't have lasted more than a few hits from the Ten Rings.
And clearly, Wanda was well aware of this.
With a wave of her delicate hand, a figure suddenly flew out from the dark night sky—it was Moon Knight, bound by Chaos Magic.
And it wasn't just Moon Knight descending from the night; there were also Asgardian ships filling the entire sky!
And on the ships stood rows of Asgardian warriors!
But they were in a zombie state...
Clearly, even the Asgardians had all been infected and were controlled by Wanda as her zombie puppets.
Ryan looked them over and clicked his tongue in wonder:
"Tsk tsk, such a grand display. Are you planning to use them against Infinite Hulk, or against me?"
Hearing this, Wanda's eyes, shining with an eerie red light, curved into crescent moons as she smiled at Ryan:
"That depends on whether Mr. Savior is willing to keep our agreement and help me complete the restoration of this World, or if he intends to tear up the agreement and monopolize the Infinite Power within Infinite Hulk~"
The two looked at each other, both revealing smiles.
Both were like thousand-year-old foxes; anyone could see that the other's motives weren't pure.
And the "important matter" Wanda mentioned for her absence yesterday was likely to control Zombie Namor and the Asgardian army!
However, Ryan wasn't worried about Wanda's blatant threat.
Because with his current strength, the strategy of overwhelming him with numbers was basically ineffective.
No matter how many people Wanda gathered or how strong they were, unless they reached the Planet-busting level, they posed no threat to him at all.
And in this Multiverse, reaching the Planet-busting level was not that simple.
This wasn't the comic book Multiverse, where anyone can bust a Planet in their own home comic~
In this cinematic Multiverse where every character has been weakened, even the later-stage Wanda and Thor would struggle to bust a Planet; at most, they could destroy some asteroids.
Someone like Hulk has even seen his performance weaken in the later stages of the cinematic Universe. Forget Planet-busting; even easily destroying a street like the Incredible Hulk did at the beginning might be difficult now!
Even among the creators of the Universe, the Celestials, there aren't actually many who can bust a Planet!
In The Collector's demonstration, some Celestials even had to rely on the Power Stone to bust a Planet! (Shown in the Guardians of the Galaxy Collector scene)
Isn't that ridiculous?
You should know that in the Marvel comic Universe, some Hulks can kick Planets like balls!
And beings capable of Planet-busting are countless!
But in the cinematic Universe, even as a representative of strength, in terms of performance, Hulk is far behind Superman in the neighboring DC cinematic Universe.
When Superman and General Zod fight, that's truly a doomsday scenario!
So far, Ryan hasn't actually encountered a being truly capable of Planet-busting.
At least no one has demonstrated it in front of him. Perhaps only the Ancient One and Odin are suspected of having Planet-busting strength.
But between the two, one likes to be mysterious and hide her strength, and the other is a ticking time bomb who can't act; both can be ignored.
Ryan knew that there was actually only one person on Earth with the raw strength to bust a Planet!
That is... ta-da! Of course, it's himself!
Although he had only shown the power to destroy a city in one hit before, Ryan had no doubt that if he unleashed his full power, he could easily bust a Planet in one strike!
So, possessing the ability to bust a Planet, why would he fear whatever schemes Wanda was cooking up behind his back?
No matter how impressive she is, could she really bring out a Planet-busting trump card?
You have to know that even for the Asgardian army controlled by Wanda, their only Planet-killing weapon, the Bifrost Bridge, had long been destroyed along with Asgard by the Fire Giant Surtur!
So Ryan couldn't imagine where Wanda could pull a Planet-busting helper or a Planet-killing weapon from.
Could Wanda really pull off a Planet-busting trump card?
The answer is... yes, she really did!
Also in the sky, but even higher than the sky where the Asgardian fleet was located—high outside the Earth, at an altitude Ryan hadn't discovered.
That was... the Nova Corps!
If Ryan could pull his gaze outside the Earth, he would find that the Nova Corps, which the Kamala trio originally regarded as the hope for saving Earth, was now surprisingly surrounding the Earth outside the atmosphere!
But keep in mind, even if a signal was sent from Earth, it would take at least three months for the other party to receive it and at least another month to arrive.
Otherwise, when Nick Fury sent the signal to call Captain Marvel at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Captain Marvel wouldn't have taken so long to respond and rush back.
And now, the Nova Corps has already appeared here.
Clearly, the Nova Corps had known about the zombie crisis on Earth for a long time.
And their arrival to surround the Earth outside the atmosphere wasn't to help Earth, but to quarantine this source of 'plague'!
They intended to nip the zombie virus in the bud at its source!
