Chapter 31: Above the Moon

In the vast and boundless universe, a god from the human world has arrived.

To cross the universe in a fleshly body, is absolutely impossible in the human worldview.

"Hmm? How can this version of Hulk barely adapt to the harsh cosmic environment?"

Looking at the Hulk he was holding, after arriving in space, he only became extremely weak but still did not completely fall unconscious.

Even the severed part of his arm that was just ripped off, there was actually a bit of flesh squirming, as if it was trying to self-repair.

"As expected, nothing less from the one with the toughest vitality."

Seeing that Hulk did not completely calm down due to the harsh cosmic universe' environment, Peter's gaze slowly turned towards the moon, 38 thousand kilometers away from Earth.

The next moment, he directly threw the Hulk in his hand fiercely towards the direction of the moon.

And his whole body accelerated instantly, almost catching up to the Hulk he just thrown in an instant.

Then a fierce punch directly blasted Hulk's body.

In an instant, Hulk who was already thrown by Peter to a speed exceeding the speed of sound, accelerated tens of times faster.

And Peter accelerated again, after awakening his super strength, a punch tens of thousands of times stronger than before, fiercely blasted on Hulk's body again.

Thus, Peter threw punches after punches, from outer space of Earth, directly to the moon.

The moon that takes human probes several days to reach.

Under Peter's constant acceleration now, it only took less than twenty minutes to reach near the moon's surface.

And now, Hulk's speed has reached an incomparable level.

Peter also finally gave up on continuing his pursuit, his figure instantly stopped in the universe a hundred kilometers away from the surface of the moon, his eyes calmly looking at Hulk who was rushing towards the moon.

At the same time on Earth, preparations for satellites to observe the moon's surface are finally complete.

However, even with several of the military's most advanced satellites combined for observation, the rendered image is still not very clear.

One can only see from afar a tiny black dot like a mosquito above the silvery white moon, unable to make out any specific actions.

But after delicate image processing, everyone present could see that the black dot above the moon was their "Hero" - Superman.

"What is our hero doing now?"

Looking at the images sent back by the satellite, everyone felt puzzled.

But the scene happening the next moment answered their doubts in the most shocking way possible.

One could see an extremely powerful explosion suddenly happen on the calm moon's surface, blasting up a huge mushroom dust cloud tens of kilometers tall.

The terrifying shockwave of the explosion, visibly spread out rapidly to the surroundings, even whipping up a horrifying dust storm on the moon.

In just a few seconds, the shockwave had already swept the entire observable moon surface by human satellites, and still spreading towards the moon's far side.

Even on Earth, one could vaguely see with naked eyes the spreading process of the shockwave on the moon's surface.

"What...on earth just happened?"

Looking at such a horrifying scene, the vice president who had just been dismissed felt his body going completely limp, eyes wide open looking unbelievingly at the horrifying scene happening on the moon.

It took nearly ten full minutes for the swirling dust on the moon to finally settle down slowly.

At this moment, when almost everyone was looking at the shocking scene on the surface of the moon, they could not help but show an incomparably shocked expression.

Because, at this moment, on the surface of the moon, a huge crater with a diameter of nearly thousands of kilometers had appeared.

"How is this possible?"   

Countless people found the scene before their eyes unbelievable.

And the vice president who just proposed to nuke Superman now almost seemed to have gone mad, constantly murmuring: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible..."

The conference room was dead silent for nearly three full minutes.

"Has the estimated precise energy value of that explosion been deduced?"

Even in a high position, the government official still could not keep calm in his eyes now.

"Sigh..."

At this moment, General Ross just received a simple prediction report about the recent explosion. Upon seeing the information in the report, even as a general, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Mr. President, according to our staff's simple prediction, the crater formed on the moon's surface from the recent explosion has a diameter of about 800-900km, approximately one quarter of the moon's diameter."

"Of course, that's because the environment on the moon is special, the surface soil is loose, making it easier to create such a gigantic crater."

"If the same explosive power occurred on Earth, the resulting crater would probably be over ten times smaller."

"Phew...that's a relief then."

Hearing this explanation, the President finally heaved a deep sigh of relief. However, the general's following words made his heart tense up again.

"After simple calculations, the explosive power is equivalent to hundreds of millions of tons of TNT, several times more powerful than the Tsar Bomba dropped by Russia last century."

"If such an attack lands in the center of New York, then the entire New York will be completely erased from the Earth..."

Taking a deep breath, General Ross finally came out of the shock after seeing this report.

At this moment, he truly realized what a god on Earth means.

"The entire New York City...would erased from the Earth?"

Muttering the predicted outcome to himself, the President still could not maintain a calm expression.

Suddenly, the President's expression became extremely solemn, then he directly stood up.

"From now on, no organizations or intelligence agencies are allowed to probe into any intelligence regarding Superman without permission."

"Also, organize disaster relief efforts as soon as possible, minimize the damage that monster has caused to New York City, and complete reconstruction at the fastest speed possible."

"Well... since that's the case, let's create a new department specializing in disaster relief work in the future. Let's call it the Disaster Control Bureau (Damage Control), or - DC for short. "

"Finally, once the meeting concludes, the military and government will jointly send personnel to supervise all media outlets and publishers nationwide."

"I don't want any media or publisher tomorrow to smear our hero to all mankind..."

...

At this time, above the moon, Peter was looking calmly at the horrifying scene he created. After everything gradually settled down, his figure instantly accelerated and rushed towards the center of the deep crater on the moon's surface.

Arriving at the crater's center and looking at Hulk whose entire body was ravaged by the terrifying shockwave without an inch of good skin left, already fallen completely unconscious.

Peter's face finally revealed a smile.

At the same time, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations Host, "Subdue the Mad Hulk" mission completed. Reward "Kryptonian Technology: Doomsday Manufacturing" has been successfully issued...]

Listening to the successfully issued reward prompt after mission completion, and looking at the heavily injured Hulk in the crater, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Peter's mouth.
