Lionel and Makima emerged from the movie theater, stretching their bodies.

Lionel asked, "It's been a long time since I watched a movie, Makima, what do you think of this one?"

"The composition, cinematography, plot design, and acting were all top-notch.

I felt the actor playing the colonel was the most impressive, and I really liked the soundtrack.

The film technology in this World is far more advanced than in our World," Makima replied very seriously.

"That's true.

I remember your World was still in the 90s," Lionel thought about the background of chainsaw man, forgetting the exact year, but it was strange that that World was still under the U.S.-Soviet Cold War global situation.

"Hey, have you heard? Something big happened in Times Square.

The Police have evacuated the citizens there."

"I didn't go there.

What happened? Why would they evacuate citizens?"

"I heard from a friend who lives there that a man-eating monster appeared there.

The Police are dealing with the monster, and the sound of explosions hasn't stopped.

I even saw the army go over!"

"The army has been deployed, so it must be lively.

Should we go and take a look?"

"Hurry, or it will all be over soon!"

Lionel overheard the conversation of passersby a few meters away and felt it was very strange.

The descending demon still hadn't been dealt with, and with constant explosions, shouldn't they be moving away?

Why are they going to join the excitement?

Have they become accustomed to it?

He equipped the [Entry]—[Biological Radar], which greatly enhanced his hearing, allowing him to hear sounds he normally couldn't.

Focusing his mind and filtering out useless information, Lionel locked onto the location the two passersby mentioned.

"Hmm, there are continuous explosions.

Ah, it seems to have stopped.

No, there it is again."

"What are you doing?" Makima asked Lionel, who had his eyes closed.

"I'm listening to the commotion in Times Square.

The demon summoned by The Hand still hasn't been dealt with," Lionel opened his eyes and explained.

Makima's eyes looked in the direction where S.H.I.E.L.D. and the beast were fighting, then she looked back and said,

"The battle is intense, and that demon's power has grown stronger."

Lionel raised an eyebrow.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efficiency was too low; they had finished watching a movie, and it still hadn't been resolved.

He thought of something and said to Makima,

"Can this demon be controlled by you to enhance your abilities?"

Makima made a checkmark gesture with her hand on her chin, then said,

"Although this demon's strength is not great, it is sufficient.

Controlling him will also partially increase my strength."

"In that case, let's go and see, and control him before he runs away or is captured by S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Okay."

Hawkeye and the Agent next to him dove to the ground.

When Hawkeye looked back, his pupils constricted.

The Agent hit by the 'Gatling' gun in the monster's hand was rapidly corroding, just like when touched by the black mist around it, turning into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye.

Rolling over, standing up, drawing his sword, nocking an arrow, Hawkeye aimed at the beast on the lamppost and was about to attack, but he was a step too slow.

Just as he raised his bow, the beast pulled the trigger of the 'Gatling' gun again.

The beast didn't seem to want to kill him.

His longbow was destroyed, and the Agent he had just saved couldn't escape death, being hit by a 'bullet' and turning into a dried corpse.

Hawkeye's eyes turned red.

"Damn monster."

The sound of rust echoed again: "Human's reaction is good, you come and take King to see the Dragon Bone!"

King needed attendants to follow him when inspecting his territory.

Hawkeye was thinking, then his eyes lit up, and he began to stall for time.

"What is a Dragon Bone? Are you looking for dinosaur fossils? I know a fossil museum with many fossils there."

"Ignorant human, how can the bones of a Divine Dragon be compared to those short-limbed crawling insects?"

The beast was still belittling human knowledge when Hawkeye suddenly ran in the direction away from the beast.

"Scared witless by King's aura? Humans are truly cowardly creatures!"

Whoosh—bang!

An armed helicopter in the air fired a Rocket at the beast, and instantly the beast was engulfed by the explosion.

Agent Coulson pulled Danny Rand, who was about to go forward to help, preventing him from going to his death.

You are a billionaire, don't be so desperate as to seek death!

Danny Rand didn't understand: "Coulson, why are you stopping me? You can't hurt him, I need to solve it!"

"You solve it?" Agent Coulson looked at the street that seemed to have gone through a war and felt that Director Fury would surely scold him later.

"Don't joke around, even if it doesn't work, there's still the army." He still didn't believe there was anything the army couldn't solve.

The machine guns on the armed helicopter never stopped, and bullets denser than raindrops scattered the explosion.

Amidst it, a black sphere slowly wriggled.

Flames would be swallowed by it, and bullets approaching would be corroded away.

"What the hell is that thing?" Agent Coulson didn't expect any creature to survive a Rocket.

Bullets were still pouring down, showing no sign of stopping.

The beast's beloved gun, which he had just acquired, was destroyed in the explosion.

The black sphere revealed a small hole, and the beast ignored the helicopter continuously pouring bullets overhead.

He identified the direction from the small hole and moved rapidly towards Fisk Tower.

From the helicopter pilot's perspective, a black sphere on the ground suddenly began to move at high speed, without dodging, moving in a straight line, swallowing anything it encountered, unreal like a game.

Agent Coulson came to Hawkeye Barton, who was covered in blood, and handed him a towel, saying,

"Are you okay? Do you need treatment?"

Hawkeye took the towel and wiped the blood from his face: "No, it's just some superficial wounds.

I'll get treatment after this monster is dealt with.

We lost many Agents."

Agent Coulson was somewhat silent.

Although all this was done by that monster, he was in charge.

He asked,

"What are the monster's abilities? We need to strategize based on his abilities."

"Eerie black mist, which can be manipulated at will and corrodes everything, just like that." Hawkeye pointed to the streets and buildings corroded by the beast along the way, "It's almost immune to bullets, bombs have some effect, but the damage is limited.

His recovery ability is very strong, almost immortal, and he can also modify weapons with the black mist.

It modified an assault rifle into a 'Gatling' gun, and the bullets fired also carry the effect of the black mist, which can also be used for defense."

Hawkeye recounted all the beast's abilities he had observed.

Agent Coulson grew more and more shocked as he listened.

What kind of monster was this?

"Is this what a demon is? What weapon can defeat it?"

"Agent Coulson, we are the combat squad sent by Director Fury.

Where is the enemy?"

The special squad sent by Nick Fury arrived, led by Brock Rumlow, codenamed Crossbones, Captain of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special operations squad.

Agent Coulson asked: "Agent Rumlow, what weapons are you carrying?"

"The latest technology restored by the technical department, energy guns.

One shot, and all matter will be annihilated!"

Agent Coulson's eyes lit up.

This weapon might be useful against that demon.

"Damn humans, there are too many strange things.

When King absorbs the Dragon Bone and allows this vessel to bear more of King's power, King will definitely make you feel fear!"

The beast cursed in his heart.

He swallowed all obstacles blocking his path, whether buildings, cars, or people.

Crashing through, swallowing all Agents guarding Fisk Tower, the beast found the mine shaft entrance and, following Alexandra's memory, jumped straight down.
