Another Wave

"I think we can have a proper talk."

Nick Fury’s face was as black as a frying pan. Looking at the several dozen warriors, each holding a Thor’s Spear, he could barely speak coherently.

Most people only saw the overwhelming deterrence of those suits of armor, but what Nick Fury saw was Chen Mu’s ability to precisely open portals anytime, anywhere—allowing him to summon groups of warriors whenever and wherever he wanted!

With that kind of battlefield deployment capability, coupled with incredibly powerful warriors, who on Earth could stop China?

Nick Fury was feeling rather pessimistic. Forget anything else—what if China used this technology to deploy nuclear weapons?

Wouldn’t they be able to wipe out every other nation in the blink of an eye?

The thought made Nick Fury feel exhausted. This was far more terrifying than any Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads!

If they wanted to, they could destroy every hostile nation in an instant!

Even America would have no chance to resist.

And clearly, Chen Mu had only opened those portals on the spot. That made Nick Fury feel even worse.

"You think that isn’t enough?"

Chen Mu’s lips curled upward. Then he waved his hand again, and another portal appeared before them.

Once they saw the scene on the other side of the portal, everyone was speechless again.

Beyond the portal was an enormous gym. Inside, several dozen huge green brutes were enthusiastically pumping iron, either lifting barbells weighing dozens of tons or doing one-handed handstand push-ups. Even through the portal, they gave off an unbearably intense aura.

"…"

Even Wang Wei felt a little awkward at the sight. He had once been one of them, but why did it look so strange now?

"Warriors, assemble!"

Chen Mu gave a light cough, drawing the attention of all the Hulk warriors. Upon seeing him, they set down their barbells and quickly formed up, then passed through the portal in orderly fashion and arrived on the deck of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Helicarrier.

Understanding the situation, the warriors said nothing. They flexed their muscles, their pectorals twitching one after another in a blatant display of threat.

"Well? I heard you wanted to compete with me in numbers?"

Chen Mu looked at Nick Fury with contempt. Nick Fury was practically about to wet himself. Damn it, this really was a Hulk army!

He had heard about it long ago, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. Nick Fury was close to tears.

This threat was absolutely terrifying!

"I do believe they should be returned to their rightful owner."

With a blank expression, Nick Fury said the most cowardly words possible. He walked over to Chen Mu and obediently handed him the Thor’s Spear in his hand.

Several dozen warriors in White Tiger Armor, along with several dozen well-trained Hulks—what did S.H.I.E.L.D. have to fight them with?

It had to be said that Nick Fury was an old fox. Even though he was nearly exploding with rage inside, he remained rational. He knew this was no joke; Chen Mu might genuinely attack him directly.

So the best option was to admit defeat.

At that, Black Widow, Captain America, and the others all let out sighs of relief.

Who would want to clash with these people?

Were they tired of living?

"When the middle-aged and elderly training class at Magic School starts, let me know. I want to sign up."

Watching Chen Mu open a portal with a casual wave, Tony Stark said dryly.

Putting everything else aside, that skill was just cool!

He genuinely wanted to learn it!

"Hmph. At least you know what’s good for you."

Holding Thor’s Spear, Chen Mu smiled happily. The third Infinity Stone was his!

"Mind Stone analysis in progress: 1%, 2%..."

"Um, that stone belongs to someone else…"

Seeing Chen Mu obtain the Mind Stone, Loki weakly added from the side.

"Thanos? It’s fine. If he wants it, he can come to Earth and get it himself."

Chen Mu no longer regarded Thanos as a threat. With China’s current strength on Earth, if Thanos dared come over, they would smash his head to pieces!

Forget anything else—the Hulks standing here alone would be enough to give Thanos a serious beating.

If every Hulk gave him a Bajiquan combo, Thanos would ascend to heaven on the spot. And he still wanted the stone?

Keep dreaming! Anything was possible in dreams!

"…"

Hearing Chen Mu’s words, Loki shut his mouth and said no more.

What Chen Mu said made sense. Though Thanos did indeed have an army, it would be no match for this army of Hulks!

Besides, who knew how many suits of armor and Hulks China still had?

If Thanos came to Earth, he would really just be delivering himself up to die!

Forget it. Loki did not want to get involved in this matter. He would open the portal according to plan, then leave it to fate.

Chen Mu had taken the Mind Stone. If Thanos was capable, he could take it back himself. Loki had no desire to deal with this crap.

"Alright, don’t make the atmosphere so tense."

Chen Mu placed Thor’s Spear into his storage device, his smile returning. He clapped his hands, signaling the warriors to stay calm. Only then did the Hulks stop bouncing their pectorals. Right in front of Nick Fury and the others, they returned to normal—each becoming a stern-faced, muscular man wearing nothing but briefs on the Helicarrier’s deck.

The only woman present, Black Widow Natasha, immediately blushed crimson.

Damn it, the masculine aura here was practically breaking through the sky!

She was almost unable to restrain herself!

"Ding. Driver's heart rate has accelerated and metabolism is abnormal. Would you like emergency medical treatment..."

Listening to the intelligent system inside her Kirin Armor, Natasha was utterly speechless.

Fortunately, she was still inside the Kirin Armor. Otherwise, that loose-mouthed Tony would definitely have made a few remarks.

Don’t think only men liked looking at beautiful women. Women liked looking at handsome men too!

Especially when Chinese soldiers went shirtless and revealed their lean, powerful muscles, women could drool just as badly!

They could turn into Hulks and change back whenever they wished?

That sight chilled Nick Fury to the bone. Who knew how many Hulks China had? How many were hidden among ordinary people?

Forget it. From now on, Nick Fury had no intention of meddling in China’s affairs again. It was too exhausting!

"Heh… so this is China’s strength now? It really is… terrifying…"

Captain America spoke dryly. Looking at the disciplined Chinese soldiers, who had not made the slightest unnecessary sound even now, he could not help but feel shaken.

As a soldier himself, he understood far too well how terrifying the combat strength of such an army would be. In any case, Rogers would rather die than become enemies with an army like this!

"Hehe, let me tell you, quite a few people in the Chinese military can fight me to a draw."

Seeing the two groups of Chinese troops, Thor felt proud as well. He raised his head and spoke to Loki with a smug expression.

"…"

Loki said nothing. Thor was bragging anyway. In truth, there were not many people in the military that Thor could actually beat…
