"Hulk, you are weak!"
The Abomination sneered as he watched the Hulk and the Thing being pushed all the way back.
"You punched me, but your fists were soft!" he proudly yelled.
"Incompetence!"
After his mocking shout, he aggressively pulled on the thick white silk attached to his body.
Spider-Man, who was anchoring the other end, was completely stunned.
He found himself violently dragged forward along with his own web.
The Abomination directly waved his massive arm through the air.
Spider-Man was hoisted helplessly into the sky and spun around like a toy.
Knowing that the monster fully intended to throw him into the stratosphere, Peter immediately let go of the web.
Spider-Man flew out in a massive, uncontrolled parabola due to the sheer, terrifying inertia.
Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!
He desperately shot rapid streams of spider silk to connect with the surrounding buildings, pulling himself taut to reduce the fatal impact.
Snap!
The white lines were aggressively pulled completely off one after another under the extreme tension.
Spider-Man was still hurtling downward, just seconds away from violently hitting the concrete surface.
At this critical moment, a long, incredibly elastic body suddenly stretched out to catch him.
Mr. Fantastic wrapped securely around Spider-Man, arresting his momentum right before he could smash into the ground.
"Mr. Fantastic!" Peter exclaimed with profound gratitude.
The Abomination had quickly turned his attention back to the Thing, his terrifying strength growing more formidable by the second.
He pulled his arm back like a drawn bow and hammered the stone man with heavy, devastating fists.
At the exact same time, he delivered a brutal kick while Ben Grimm was distracted by the upper blows.
The Thing flew backward like a kite with a snapped line, severely smashing straight through a commercial building before being buried under tons of crushed gravel.
At this precise moment, the Abomination rushed directly and violently toward the recovering Hulk.
He raised his massive fist and ruthlessly slammed it straight into the green giant's face.
Bang!
The Hulk, caught awkwardly between recovering his old strength and mustering new energy, was completely caught off guard by the sudden, overwhelming attack.
Amidst a pained grunt, several teeth and a spray of blood were forcefully squeezed out of his mouth.
He fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, violently rolling for several meters across the asphalt.
The Abomination strode forward aggressively to the Hulk's side and stepped heavily onto his fierce, battered mouth.
He laughed wildly, a sound full of pure malice.
"Hulk, you don't deserve to have power at all!"
"Is this really the only ability you possess?"
The Hulk's current physiological situation was highly unstable.
Because of the recent injection of chemical inhibitors, the Hulk's raw power was severely suppressed, making it impossible for him to fully deploy his strength.
But as his unadulterated anger continued to build, the Hulk was gradually awakening his dormant power.
It would simply take a little more time.
The Abomination took full advantage of this momentum to press his attack.
His thick, heavy feet aggressively stomped the Hulk half-buried into the surface of the street.
He began waving his fists in a brutal, stormy offensive that rained relentlessly down upon the green giant.
The Hulk could only raise his thick arms to hold his head and protect himself.
He kept letting out low, sorrowful grunts of pain under the severe beating.
After a short while, the Abomination actually started to feel a little bored by the one-sided massacre.
He spat on the ground and spoke with extreme, absolute disdain.
"You are far too disappointing, Hulk."
Turning his massive, bony head to look around the ruined street, the corners of his mouth raised into a wicked curve.
He roared into the chaotic sky.
"Come on, superheroes!"
"I am the strongest being in the world!!!"
At this exact time, Iron Man finally arrived on the scene having successfully swapped into his brand-new Mark VII armor.
This specific suit was an overall upgrade that was several times stronger than the previous Mark III model.
Tony Stark certainly wouldn't fight this monster carelessly, and he definitely wasn't stupid enough to single him out in direct hand-to-hand combat.
Surrounding the Abomination stood Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, Spider-Man, and Iron Man hovering in mid-air.
As for the rock-solid Thing, he had completely passed out under the heavy rubble.
The frontline news reporters hovering safely in the sky shouted frantically through their microphones.
"We must win this fight!"
"Come on, superheroes!"
The millions of anxious audience members sitting in front of their televisions didn't have a single thought of treating this like a game.
Before tonight, having the most powerful military army on the entire Earth had made them firmly believe that the United States could easily win any conflict in the end.
But the horrifying reality they were currently watching was completely different.
The military army had been effortlessly taken down and played with right in the palm of the monster's hand.
The whole deployment had been completely wiped out in the terrifying blink of an eye.
Without the ultimate security of their armed forces, the ordinary people truly began to panic.
They were not stupid, and they fully understood the massive stakes of this rampage.
Once the destruction edged so incredibly close to Broadway and Wall Street, the economic collapse would leave them with nothing but the rooftops waiting for their final jumps.
And if they didn't tragically jump off a building, they would simply be trampled into the bloody mud by the Abomination.
Some terrified people chose to stay locked safely behind closed doors, trembling uncontrollably while waiting for the situation to hopefully get better.
Others madly fled from the borders of New York City, genuinely believing that the end was completely upon them.
At this incredibly tense moment, absolutely everyone except the worst terrorists hoped that the assembled superheroes could miraculously win and return the world to its normal order.
In the deeply chaotic streets, the Abomination and the heroes confronted each other in a tense standoff.
A heavily depressive atmosphere enveloped the anxious hearts of every single American and the collective hearts of the global audience.
Since the historic emergence of superheroes, absolutely no criminal had ever done something on this scale like the Abomination.
He was a veritable, undeniable super criminal.
The very first to break the stalemate and launch an attack was Iron Man.
He lifted a small mechanical frame on both of his armored shoulders while simultaneously firing a swarm of micro-missiles all over the sky.
The explosive payload fell down toward the monster exactly like a lethal shower of rain.
Rumble!!
An absolutely deafening roar aggressively echoed between the sky and the earth.
Rising columns of thick, choking smoke instantly filled the surrounding air.
Susan Storm hurriedly unfolded her hands, her body shimmering as a transparent force field barrier stood perfectly ready for a counterattack.
Spider-Man deeply concentrated on his innate spider-sense, holding his breath as he carefully listened for any hidden movement.
Johnny Storm's face was completely solemn as he aggressively raised his hand.
He blasted a massive pillar of searing fire forward to forcefully dissipate the smoke and directly hit the center area of the crater.
The thick dust was instantly blown away, but there was absolutely no one standing there.
"Above!!" Spider-Man and Iron Man uttered the frantic warning at the exact same time.
In the very next moment, the Abomination jumped directly in front of Iron Man and brutally grabbed the armor with a massive hand.
He was extremely disgusted with Iron Man's cowardly kite-flying tactics, completely determined to get rid of the annoying metal man first.
"He's way too fast!"
"J.A.R.V.I.S., initiate a full-power energy burst!"
Iron Man saw the ambush just a fraction of a second too late, directly raising his armored arm in a desperate defense.
Three hidden laser guns mechanically popped out from the side of his gauntlet, aggressively gathering fierce, glowing blue energy.
One thick and three thin repulsor energy cannons suddenly exploded forward, immediately slamming right into the Abomination that was incredibly close at hand.
The unparalleled, point-blank blast of concentrated energy blasted directly into the monster's fierce mouth.
"ROAR!!"
The deeply pained Abomination gritted his jagged teeth and snarled, stubbornly holding his ground against the searing beam of light.
The Hulk's mutated super self-healing power kept his biological structure intact and prevented him from flying backward from the blast.
His massive fist slammed forward, violently tearing the air itself as it struck.
Iron Man only felt a massive wave of agonizing pain spread all over his body.
The internal kinetic buffer system was directly overloaded and instantly scrapped beyond repair.
His ribs and collarbones began to make an unspeakable, horrifying crunching sound.
The whole person inside the suit flew backward through the sky exactly like a fired cannonball.
Upon seeing this disaster, Spider-Man hurriedly spewed out several thick cobwebs.
He quickly managed to catch the falling Iron Man before he could crash.
"Mr. Stark!"
After the Abomination landed heavily back on the ground, he immediately jumped straight at Johnny Storm.
His incredibly powerful leg muscles allowed him to fall directly in front of the remaining Fantastic Four members and sweep out a devastating punch.
Bang!
A dull, heavy voice suddenly sounded out of thin air as Susan reacted.
A thick, transparent barrier was instantly erected right in front of Johnny to protect him.
The huge fist hit the force field directly, causing it to burst into violently crisscrossing cracks.
Johnny's whole body completely turned into living flames in response.
A fiery, roaring pillar of fire burst directly into the air with fiercely high temperatures, aggressively blasting the Abomination point-blank.
"Boy, these little parlor tricks are completely useless!!"
The Abomination shattered the cracked barrier with a final push.
His body surface was severely burned by thousands of degrees of high temperature, but his terrifying self-healing power followed closely behind to instantly mend the charred flesh.
They were locked in a brief, agonizing stalemate with each other.
The severe, searing pain simply made the beast even angrier, twisting his annoyance into pure, unadulterated rage.
Another massive, leaping swipe took Johnny completely out of the air like a swatted fly.
Mr. Fantastic couldn't safely stretch out to save him because the teenager's body was still heavily on fire.
Fortunately, this specific falling posture naturally had the slight effect of reducing his overall impact injuries.
The human fireball blasted violently right into the facade of the building next door.
Johnny struggled desperately to get up, but the overwhelming, whole-body pain made him slump limply to the ground.
Two major damage outputs were completely abolished all at once, leaving the remaining three crowd-control heroes unable to resist the monster at all.
The Abomination easily backhanded an approaching Spider-Man, sending him flying and vomiting blood before falling heavily to the ground.
Susan's energy field aggressively burst out one last time, but she simply couldn't restrain the Abomination's raw, overwhelming strength.
When Susan was inevitably hit by a huge, sweeping fist, Mr. Fantastic directly turned his own body into a protective rubber cushion to completely envelop her.
The two of them flew upside down for tens of meters, violently crashing into the debris and remaining entirely unable to get up for a long time.
Five brutal hits had been executed, and one entire superhero team was completely wiped out.
"I am the absolute strongest!!!"
The Abomination proudly showcased his absolute, unmatched power right in front of the hovering live news cameras.
"Woo, Mom!"
A terrified little girl was crying helplessly in a ruined corner of the street.
The fragile, weeping voice heavily contrasted and quarreled with the horrific Abomination that was loudly showing off his victory.
The previous, deafening roar had completely concealed her presence.
But now that the surrounding battlefield had suddenly become quiet, her sobs seemed particularly loud and painfully crisp.
The little girl suddenly felt a massive, looming shadow fall over her on the ground.
The tears streaming down her dirty face completely stagnated.
Pure, unadulterated fear absolutely filled her tiny heart.
"My God, who can possibly save that poor girl?"
"A hero needs to stand up right now!!"
"We need a hero!!"
The newscasters screamed in sheer panic over the live broadcast.
Under the unblinking lens of the camera, the panicked girl looked up in sheer terror at the towering Abomination.
The millions of viewers sitting in front of their televisions were in immense emotional pain as this horrific tragedy in the world appeared right before their eyes.
The eyes of the nearest fallen hero, Spider-Man, were deeply unyielding and completely unwilling to accept this outcome.
The severely disabled Peter desperately crawled forward, dragging his broken body across the asphalt.
But his agonizing speed was simply far too slow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was Iron Man's remaining shoulder missiles executing a desperate bombing run that violently stirred up a thick cloud of dust.
At the exact same time, Tony aggressively rushed blindly into the thick smoke to take the fleeting opportunity to save the child.
A spark of genuine hope briefly flashed in everyone's watching eyes.
They were all starting to cheer for the armored billionaire.
But in the very next moment, their throats felt violently pinched, and freezing cold sweat dripped heavily from their foreheads.
"Tony Stark."
"Iron Man."
"A so-called superhero."
The Abomination easily grabbed Iron Man right by the armored neck and lifted his damaged suit effortlessly into the air.
He was grinning incredibly maliciously, an awful, triumphant smile twisting his hideous face.
"I want you to see your own pathetic incompetence with your own two eyes."
He violently threw Iron Man back down to the ground.
He ruthlessly slammed his heavy, clawed foot squarely onto the suit's fierce, glowing chest plate.
Tony couldn't manage to struggle free from the pinning weight at all.
"No!" Tony shouted desperately.
"Let the innocent people go, she's just a little child!"
The Abomination hated listening to moral pleading and completely refused to respond to the request.
He aggressively drew back a massive fist that was larger than a heavy cooking pot, aiming a lethal strike right at the trembling little girl.
Suddenly, a lively, incredibly high-energy musical sound dramatically erupted.
The heavy guitar riff rapidly escalated from a low hum to a deafening blast, suddenly sounding throughout the entirety of Times Square.
[ONE PUNCH!]
[Three! Two! One! Killshot!]
[Appearing! Certain Victory! The Strongest of all time!!]
