"Oh, I was just kidding. I only told you to go home so you could put on your battle suit and glider. That way, the fight will be a bit more interesting," Hawking replied emotionlessly.
To subdue an opponent, one must let them believe they are at their strongest, only then can they truly understand the disparity.
"I don't know what you're talking about. That's not a funny joke!" Norman's expression changed instantly, and he turned back, looking at Hawking with a very dangerous gaze.
Hawking knew about the battle suit and glider, which greatly surprised him.
The glider designed by O's Group had been reported stolen in the news, and the battle suit was something he designed and built himself afterward; no one knew about it.
He had only used it for the first time yesterday during the explosion at the Exploration Aerospace Industry's sixth test site.
"Mr. Norman, stop pretending. I know you were responsible for yesterday's incident. Now I'm giving you time to retrieve your battle suit, otherwise, you might not get another chance.
I hit very hard; if I'm not careful, you might die!" Hawking pushed open the car door and stepped out.
Norman's eyes narrowed, a flash of killing intent passing through them.
"I think this must be a misunderstanding. I was at home all day yesterday; I didn't go out." With a highly deceptive fake smile, he also pushed open his car door, got out, and walked towards Hawking.
But before Hawking could reply, he quickly extended his right hand, grabbing Hawking's neck and lifting him up.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
"Considerable strength. It seems the human enhancement serum you invented is quite effective." However, facing Norman's chokehold, Hawking merely smiled, completely unfazed.
"But for me, it's still too weak!" His right leg shot out like lightning, striking Norman's chest.
The immense force made Norman's eyes bulge, and then he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into his Villa's iron gate, leaving a human-shaped dent in the metal.
Due to the human enhancement serum, Green Goblin's physique had indeed improved significantly, but his strength was still far below Spider-Man's.
Spider-Man's strength reached 25 tons, while Green Goblin only had 9 tons, making close-quarters combat impossible against Spider-Man.
The main reason he could fight Spider-Man was the assistance of his high-tech weapons.
Therefore, in terms of pure strength, he was naturally even less of a match for Hawking.
"Can't win!" Norman, who had fallen from the iron gate, clutched his chest and looked at Hawking, who stood with his hands behind his back, immediately making a judgment in his heart.
Just from that one blow, he knew his body was not on the same level as the opponent's.
So he leaped over the iron gate and quickly ran towards his Villa's room.
Hawking did not stop him. He also leaped over the iron gate, leisurely walked to the Villa's fountain, sat down, and waited.
"Gagagaga, die!" Not long after, a figure wearing green demon armor and riding a glider attacked Hawking with a strange laugh.
At this moment, Hawking also loaded the Goku template, directly increasing his combat power to 285.
His inherent combat power was 145, with the Goku template adding 140, totaling 285 combat power, which was already comparable to Goku after drinking the ultra divine water and King Piccolo in his rejuvenated state.
It wasn't that his inherent 145 combat power couldn't defeat Green Goblin, but rather to let Green Goblin more clearly experience the disparity in strength, to experience what despair felt like.
"Da da da da da!" Two machine guns emerged from Green Goblin's glider, and before he even reached Hawking, countless bullets were already pouring out.
"Is that all?" Hawking sat by the fountain without moving an inch. He simply raised his right hand, which blurred into afterimages, catching all the dense bullets.
This scene scared Green Goblin so much that he immediately stopped his glider. His glider had machine guns, not ordinary pistols. Could machine gun bullets also be caught with bare hands?
"Then try this!" Green Goblin, not believing it, pulled out two pumpkin-shaped metal bombs from his battle suit and threw them at Hawking's feet. At the same time, he flung several incredibly sharp high-tech spinning throwing knives, which cut various strange arcs as they flew towards Hawking's vital points.
"Boom! Boom!" The pumpkin bombs successfully exploded, blowing the entire fountain into the air and scattering countless splashes of Water.
"Hahaha, let's see how you catch this!" Standing on his glider, Green Goblin put his hands on his hips and laughed maniacally, looking like a madman.
The pumpkin bombs were special bombs he personally designed, much more powerful than ordinary grenades, plus the sharp spiral throwing knives that could cut through common metal.
He didn't believe that he still couldn't kill the monster below.
"How to catch it? Just like this!" However, at that moment, a voice full of mockery came from the smoke after the explosion below, making his body stiffen instantly.
"This is impossible!" The smoke cleared, revealing Hawking, wrapped in a layer of ki, completely unharmed. The spinning throwing knives were now lying in Hawking's hand, but their blades were all shattered.
It was clear that his proud pumpkin bombs and spinning throwing knives couldn't even scratch Hawking.
"Flee!" Without a word, Green Goblin immediately controlled his glider to turn around and run.
His physical strength was no match, and his high-tech weapons couldn't even break the defense. Such a monster was beyond his ability to deal with. Why stay and get killed if not to flee?
"Can you escape?" Hawking sneered, then shouted into the air: "kinto'un!" A White cloud flew from a distance, stopping in front of Hawking with a "whoosh."
Hawking jumped onto the White cloud and quickly chased after the fleeing Green Goblin.
The kinto'un's speed was Mach 1.5, which is 1837.62 kilometers per hour, while Green Goblin's glider's maximum speed was only 500 kilometers per hour. So, Hawking's pursuit was quite effortless.
However, he didn't directly catch up, but instead trailed behind Green Goblin, constantly creating a sense of oppression and fear, and forcing him away from the city, flying towards the sea.
When the two reached the deserted open sea, he casually pointed forward.
"Shrink!" The glider under Green Goblin's feet instantly shrank to the size of a palm, and Green Goblin, caught off guard, fell from the air.
Hawking took the shrunken glider, stepped on the kinto'un, and scooped Green Goblin, who had fallen into the sea, back up, quickly increasing their altitude.
"Super Ki Blast!" Grabbing Green Goblin with one hand, he raised the other, gathering a basketball-sized ball of ki within his body, and threw it into the sea below.
"Boom!" A super explosion erupted in the sea, leaving Green Goblin completely stunned.
He was stunned for a full minute before he shakily took off his mask and asked Hawking, "You... you... what exactly do you want? Are you going to send me to prison?"
He already understood very clearly that if Hawking wanted to kill him with his strength, it would be too easy; he had no ability to resist whatsoever.
The other party was merely toying with him until now.
