Across the ocean.

A shadow moved swiftly across the sea, gliding with an unbelievable grace.

The surrounding fish scattered in panic, as if they had encountered a great terror.

Even the great white shark, once hailed as the killer predator, was no different from these small fish, except it fled even faster.

If someone were to look closely from above, they would see that the shadow was actually a human figure.

"Poof!"

Luo Mang emerged from the sea, spitting out a mouthful of salty water.

Who would have thought that back then, Luo Mang could only board the 'Raft', and now he could swim back without stopping.

His scales rubbed off as he climbed ashore.

Just as Luo Mang reached the shore, he heard a cacophony of screams.

He initially thought it was another robbery, which was common here.

But the next second.

Luo Mang's heart felt as if it had plunged into an abyssal abyss, the shock making him instinctively sidestep.

A car whizzed past him, crashing into the sea where he had just been.

Superhero or villain?

Though he narrowly avoided being hit, Luo Mang remained calm.

His legs bulged with veins, and the concrete beneath his feet cracked like a spider web.

In the next instant, Luo Mang vanished from his spot, moving with the flow of the crowd.

Crossing several blocks.

Seeing the severely damaged street facilities, a suspicion arose in Luo Mang's mind.

Until he crossed another block and saw two green masses rolling together, confirming his guess.

In front of Luo Mang stood a green giant with super-stretchy pants and tousled hair — the Hulk, Robert Bruce Banner.

And the one 'passionately embracing' Banner.

Covered in bone spurs, with no pants on the lower half, more like wearing a green bodysuit, was the Abomination — Emil Blonsky.

Formerly a special forces soldier, Emil's pursuit of power led him to undergo gamma radiation and Super Soldier Serum injections, ultimately becoming the Abomination.

Both the Abomination and the Hulk draw their power from emotions.

One from intense hatred, the other from sky-rending rage!

The only difference is that the Abomination underwent two experimental injections, one into deep muscle tissue and another into the bone marrow center.

Thus, the Abomination has an additional 800 pounds of bone and tissue, with bone spurs protruding from his spine and other parts of his body.

Despite being a villain, the Hulk isn't much better in comparison.

The number of people the Hulk has killed when out of control is no less than the Abomination.

Besides, how could a pianist at sea be a bad person?

Watching the two green giants brawl.

Cars in their hands were like plastic toys, casually swung and torn apart.

Luo Mang couldn't help but click his tongue, watching for a while.

"No wonder there's no movement from the Raft, they're already busy here.

But judging by the situation, Tony should have dealt with the Iron Monger by now."

Watching these two 'strongmen' rely solely on brute force.

Luo Mang instinctively compared himself to them.

But then, he shook his head.

His abilities were decent, but to confront them head-on, he might as well wash up and go to sleep.

At this moment, the Hulk was in full wild mode, and the Abomination was filled with malice.

"Hulk and Abomination..."

Luo Mang's heart stirred as he watched them.

To survive the battles of the future with just his physical body, this power was indispensable!

"Hey, Luo, you're back!"

Just as Luo Mang was lost in thought watching the Hulk and Abomination, a playful voice filled with surprise suddenly rang out.

Luo Mang turned his head, meeting Peter, who was climbing down the wall of a nearby building.

After half a month, Peter's bloodlust was even stronger.

A faint scent of blood emanated from his black coat.

Under the mask, his face and features were obscured, adding to his odd and absurd aura.

But seeing Peter, Luo Mang felt a sense of familiarity.

"Back, how's May?"

Luo Mang responded lightly, his next words touching Peter.

Luo Mang had rushed back to New York City from the Raft, his clothes long since tattered.

If it weren't for the intense fight between the Hulk and the Abomination, with Luo Mang watching so closely, Peter might not have recognized him at first.

Even so, Luo Mang's first concern upon seeing him was Aunt May.

Looking at one of the only two people who genuinely cared for him, Peter's eyes softened.

If outsiders saw this expression, they'd be shocked.

When did the murderous Spider Demon become so approachable?

"Dr. Connors successfully improved the serum, Aunt May's fingers have grown back."

Peter answered warmly, lightly leaping to land beside Luo Mang without a sound.

"That's good. When I'm not around, I'm always worried about May."

Luo Mang's expression remained unchanged, nodding slightly.

Deceiving a 'naive' new hero was as easy for Luo Mang as lifting a small car.

Turning his head, he noticed Peter looking at the battlefield, the two green giants still locked in combat.

"In your opinion, how are they?"

Luo Mang asked with a smile, feigning nonchalance.

If it were the old Peter Parker, he might have already rushed in with a mouthful of quips to break up the fight.

"Very strong, but I wouldn't know until I've fought them."

Peter's eyes never left the two massive figures, replying after a moment of steady contemplation.

But Luo Mang knew.

According to the setup, Peter's stats were only slightly lower than the Hulk's.

If he broke his no-kill rule and used any means necessary, Peter might actually have a chance to take one of them down!

"You..."

Luo Mang was about to say something when he suddenly frowned.

The next second.

Both Luo Mang and Peter seemed to sense something, turning their heads sharply.

Thud, thud, thud—

Accompanied by a rapid roaring sound!

An armed helicopter appeared before them.

The helicopter flew high, clearly to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the two 'beasts' below.

A sudden spotlight from the helicopter shone down.

Instantly illuminating Luo Mang and Peter.

Peter instinctively leapt up, clinging to the wall in a single bound.

In the next moment, when the spotlight moved, Peter's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"General! We've spotted other targets on the battlefield!"

On the helicopter, a U.S. soldier shouted, trying to be heard over the rotor noise.

"Ignore the civilians, focus on capturing the Hulk and Emil!"

"But..."

The soldier hesitated for a moment.

"I just saw a freak in a red suit next to him, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye!

He might be a mutant like the Hulk, should we capture him too?!"

"A freak?

Are you talking about me?"

Before Ross could respond, a playful voice tinged with blood reached the soldier's ear.

So close, it was unaffected by the rotor noise.

Like... it was whispered right into his ear!

The soldier's eyes widened, a chill running from his spine to his head.

He turned sharply, meeting a pair of mask-stretched eyes.

And there was Peter, clinging to the side of the helicopter with all four limbs.

Smiling at him.
