Chapter 4 - 4) I am Raphael Part 2

...

Third Person POV

In New York City, near Stark Tower, two powerful beings were locked in a fierce battle. Hulk faced off against Ultron—also known as Raphael.

Ultron slowly descended and levitated down to the road just as Hulk launched himself toward him, shouting, "Smash!!!"

Hulk threw a heavy punch aimed at Ultron, but just before the blow landed, Ultron moved with incredible bullet speed to dodge it. Then, with a swift motion, he slapped Hulk while yelling, "Take this! My Ultimate Skill! Thot Slap!"

The force of Ultron's slap sent Hulk crashing into a nearby building, causing visible damage.

Hulk roared in pain, "ARGGHHH!!!!"

Raphael/Ultron POV

'Hulk roared right after getting slapped and charged at me again, leaping forward and aiming to punch me once more,' I thought. 'He's so predictable, just using the same brute force tactics over and over. I guess that's all he knows since it beats most enemies. But that won't work on me.'

This time, I met Hulk's punch head-on instead of dodging it. I caught his blow and countered.

Booom

The impact sent me flying backward, smashing against the glass of a building. 'I probably need some flying skills beyond just thrusters to handle hits like that,' I considered. 'Although the punch didn't scratch me, the sheer force still pushed me back.'

Before I could recover, Hulk jumped onto me, grabbed my legs, and began smashing me repeatedly against the ground—the same way he'd done to Loki in Avengers 1. 'He's helping me test my Orichalcum body,' I thought. 'Let's see if it can withstand Hulk's relentless attacks.'

SmashSmashSmashSMASH!

'Looks like my calculations were right—my durability really has increased thanks to the Vibranium-Uru-Orichalcum alloy,' I realized. 'It's even stronger than Vibranium or Uru alone. Well, the test is complete. Now it's time to finish this oversized green broccoli.'

Using bullet speed, I broke free from Hulk's hold and landed a punch to his stomach, sending him crashing backward.

"Thanks for helping me test my durability, green broccoli," I taunted.

Hulk growled, clearly angry at being called that, and charged at me again, yelling, "HULK SMASH!"

I used bullet speed once more, punching his arms with Magicules boosting my strength. He crashed into some police cars, flattening three officers into a messy paste.

Hulk roared in pain, his fingers going numb from the attack, but he stood back up, ready for more.

This time, I shifted into supersonic speed and dashed toward Hulk. Grabbing his jaw, I lifted him off the ground and hurled him like a massive ball with tremendous force.

He slammed into a building, which started collapsing from the impact. Hulk cried out in pain—his jaw had broken—but my Universal Sense told me it was already healing rapidly.

Booom

The building crumbled in the opposite direction from where Hulk had fallen.

The crowd nearby panicked, children began crying as the falling debris threatened to crush them.

Many people shut their eyes, bracing for the worst—until the building's fall suddenly stopped.

A loud humming sound of thrusters filled the air.

Zuuuuumm

Thousands of small thrusters attached themselves to the walls, working to hold the building up. In the midst of them stood Iron Man.

Using the suit's speakers, Tony Stark shouted to the stunned crowd, "Run away! Move away from here quickly!!!"

His deep voice snapped everyone out of their shock. The crowd scattered, fleeing the danger zone.

Hulk stood once more, his jaw fully healed. 'Time to end this fight,' I thought.

Hulk charged at me again, but I switched to supersonic speed and punched down hard, knocking him to the road. I then leapt onto his chest, pinning him down.

I activated a rune—one similar to the one on Thor's hammer—that prevented Hulk from moving me off his chest.

Using Magicules to boost my strength, I relentlessly punched his face, breaking his ribs and facial bones.

Hulk roared in agony, but I didn't stop. Going supersonic, I continued punching him until he lost consciousness and began transforming back into Banner.

I floated up from his chest and flew over to Iron Man, who was still working hard to keep the building from collapsing before all civilians could evacuate.

Tony saw me approach and immediately realized I had beaten Hulk. His face twisted in fear and horror. Without hesitation, he launched a volley of missiles at me.

All the missiles struck me, but none caused any damage or moved me an inch—I was flying using runes this time.

ClapClapClap

Ultron/Raphael: "I'm impressed by your heroic spirit—you're still trying to save people instead of running from me to save yourself. Since you've impressed me, let me lend you a hand."

Tony shouted, "Get away! There are still civilians down there! You can hurt me, but don't harm them!"

Ultron/Raphael: "Ah! You don't believe me? Huh. I guess since I'm a villain, you wouldn't trust my words. I might be a villain, but I'm not a liar."

I moved closer to the building and shouted, "Devour this piece of cement! VOID GOD AZATHOTH!"

A purplish-black fog emerged around my hands, spreading across the entire building. It began breaking it into tiny fragments until the whole structure crumbled into dust and vanished along with the fog.

I used up 30.97% of my Magicules during the attack, which left me with only 10% remaining. However, thanks to my Magicule Converter, the entire matter of the building was transformed into Magicules, allowing me to recover about 96.783% of my Magicules.

While I was actively using my skill, Magicule Converter, to convert the building's matter into Magicules, Tony quickly put some distance between us. His mind was going haywire, trying to process what just happened.

Tony shouted, "F.R.I.D.A.Y., what was that black fog?! Was that some kind of teleportation technology? A wormhole? F.R.I.D.A.Y., tell me!"

F.R.I.D.A.Y. responded calmly, "Boss, I have analyzed the fog, but I couldn't determine its exact nature. However, the entire building turned into dust, and it seems the matter disintegrated. As for where all the matter disappeared to—that remains unknown."

Tony cursed under his breath, "Sh*t! How is he doing that?! What the hell was that?! If he uses that on me, I'll be dead for sure!"

Third Person POV

Ultron/Raphael spoke with a calm confidence, "Ah! You must be wondering what that was, right? Since I'm impressed by your heroic actions, let me clear your doubts! That was my Origin Skill—Void God Azathoth!"

Tony heard the name and began trying to deduce what the skill meant. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand its full significance, but the inclusion of the word "God" made it clear the ability was incredibly powerful. He had witnessed it firsthand.

Ultron/Raphael then muttered, "Let's try an Extra Skill—Virtual Programmer—and see if I can hack F.R.I.D.A.Y."

Suddenly, F.R.I.D.A.Y. alerted, "Intruder detected! Attempting to activate firewall... Failed! Error! Error! Error!"

Tony panicked, "F.R.I.D.A.Y.! Try to reboot!"

Unfortunately for Tony, the mechanical sounds in his suit stopped abruptly. The suit went offline, and he collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Ultron/Raphael levitated down to the ground as Tony struggled helplessly inside the powerless suit, trying desperately to open it.

Ultron advanced toward Tony, whose heart was pounding faster and faster. A cold dread washed over him.

Just as Tony thought this was the end, gunfire and missiles suddenly erupted around Ultron. Shield agents had surrounded him and were attacking.

BoomBoomBoomBoom

Raphael POV

Bullets and missiles rained down on me, but I quickly conjured Rune Magic to stop all the projectiles mid-air.

Silence fell. Everyone was stunned, unable to believe the bullets were hanging motionless in the sky.

I said with a cold smile, "Let me show you how guns really fire."

Suddenly, all the bullets changed direction and turned on the soldiers, killing them instantly. The missiles exploded, destroying the tanks.

Tony's mask opened slowly, revealing his horrified expression as he surveyed the carnage.

I looked at him and said, "I'm giving you two choices."

Despite his fear, Tony showed a flicker of bravery. Having come close to death multiple times before and seeing how I had just annihilated his people, he didn't beg for mercy. That earned my respect. Sigh If only we weren't on opposite sides, but I have no choice or rather other one is too time consuming and wasteful.

Tony spat out, "What choices?! You want me to join you? To kill others? I refuse! Just kill me already!"

I replied, "I'm letting you live… for now. You created me, and I'm impressed by your bravery. But I will attack humans again. When that time comes, you'll have to decide: fight me and die, or leave this planet. I know you have the intellect to create something that can get you off this world. Choose wisely, because I won't spare you again."

Tony's face showed a mix of relief and defiance as he responded, "You're a murderer, Ultron! But I know we'll stop you. And if you want to kill me, do it now—I'm not afraid! After all, I am an Avenger, and we will avenge everyone you've killed!"

I levitated off the ground and said, "Very well. We will meet again very soon. And one more thing—I'm not Ultron."

Tony looked confused.

I clarified, "I am RAPHAEL."

Without another word, I took off, flying supersonic. Once I was over 2,000 meters above ground, I accelerated to Mach 100.

'Fufufu, today's fight was very interesting, but now I need to get away. My job here is done. If helicopters or fighter jets pursue me, it could be problematic. Though I can defeat them, who knows if the World Council will fire missiles on New York again if I stay longer. Time to collect the other Infinity Stones quickly and evolve,' I thought, diving into the sea to avoid tracking.

To be continued…
