In an instant, the damaged buildings were restored to their original state. This was no longer something mere mortals could accomplish.
A powerful physique, terrifying energy release, miraculous supernatural abilities—when all of these were combined, they formed something truly frightening, a living embodiment of extraordinary power.
"Absolute purpose. Terrifying power. This is the weapon I have dreamed of!"Ross stepped off the helicopter and stood before more than a hundred soldiers. His fiery gaze was fixed on Lu Yi—there was no longer any trace of the Hulk in his eyes.
"Have you lost your mind?" Ross's daughter, the Hulk's former lover, stared at her fanatical father in disbelief.
"No, I haven't lost my mind. I've never been clearer." Ross dismissed her, not even bothering to look back.
Behind him, hundreds of soldiers lined up with shoulder-mounted rocket launchers. Above them, helicopters hovered, Gatling guns already set and ready to fire.
"He's our savior. This is how you repay him?"
"How I repay him is none of your concern. You're just an ordinary person. And besides…I don't intend to kill him. I just want him to come back with us—for research and evaluation."
Ross looked at his daughter coldly, as though she were not even a human being but some lifeless tool. There wasn't an ounce of compassion in his voice.
His daughter stared at him in shock, as if she no longer recognized this man. She truly didn't know where the father who once loved her had gone.
"You must be insane. I will never allow you to do this!"
"I don't need your permission."Ross turned to the soldiers behind him. "Take her to a secure location. Lock her up."
"Yes, sir!"
"No! You can't do this to me!"
She struggled the moment she heard her father's command, but her frail body was no match for the two strong soldiers. She was forcefully taken away.
"Everyone prepare!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers moved out from behind Ross, taking up their designated positions.
…
"This indeed is a unique ability," Lu Yi said, coldly scanning the surroundings. "But it's riddled with flaws…and frankly, disgusting."
What did it matter if they were far away? Lu Yi could see whatever he desired to see, hear whatever he wished to hear. Proximity meant nothing.
"Hello, sir. Thank you for your help!" Ross approached Lu Yi politely. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ross, a military officer."
"A general? That's rare. Why aren't you focusing on your training? You come here to thank me? Should I award you an Outstanding Citizen medal?"
"Yes, we actually do give out gratitude medals and Outstanding Citizen awards. But before that, I'd like to invite you to come with me—for evaluation and research."
"Evaluation? Research? Is that all? No experiments? No dissection? Nothing else?"
"Of course not! You're a hero who saved tens of thousands of citizens. How could we ever do that?" Ross smiled—the kind of smile that was painfully fake.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think you're a fool—for saying something so absurd?"
"It seems you don't know what's best for you. In that case—don't blame me for using force."
With that, Ross let out a loud, commanding shout.
"Begin!"
Countless soldiers rushed out from every direction. Helicopters hovered about forty meters away, weapons locked onto Lu Yi. All guns were raised, all barrels aimed—completely surrounding him.
"You really think this is enough to defeat me?" Lu Yi asked calmly, completely unfazed.
"This alone isn't enough. But how about this?"
As soon as Ross finished speaking, two missile-loaded helicopters emerged from behind the buildings, fully locked onto Lu Yi.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"He's our savior! You can't do this to him!"
"You bastards should be court-martialed!"
"I won't let you take him! When this is over, I'll stand in front of the White House and protest! I'm not afraid of your damn court-martial!"
"Count me in!"
"I'm going too!"
Before Lu Yi could even speak, angry shouts erupted around him. The people he had saved were furious and ashamed of Ross's actions—but that was all they could do. They no longer had the power to help.
But Lu Yi didn't need their help.
These weapons couldn't even take down a monster like the Hulk—let alone someone like him. These soldiers, these weapons—they were nothing but a joke. A laughable joke.
"Don't think you're powerful. And don't assume we're weak," Ross sneered. "We are the United States Army—the most powerful military force in the world. These are just the vanguard. The real forces are on their way. In reality, your only option is to surrender. If you don't understand what's best for you—don't blame us."
"Really? Why don't I believe you? Want to find out?"
Arrogant.
Unbelievably arrogant.
That arrogance ignited the adrenaline of everyone present. Civilians were excited by the absurd spectacle of the military, while soldiers glared at Lu Yi with murderous intent.
They had never experienced anything quite like this.
