Chapter 72 - Blue-Eyed White Dragon

"Natasha, are you keeping up?"

Nick Fury stood at the console on the aerospace carrier, his eyes glued to the high-definition screen displaying the intense battle unfolding miles away. Natasha was piloting one of the Kun fighters, chasing the action through the dark clouds.

"We're on the chase, but the target's speed is incredible. We're falling further behind," Natasha's voice crackled through the comms.

Hawkeye, seated in the co-pilot's seat, used the equipment to survey the scene. "According to the scans, this behemoth has an exceptionally high energy reading."

"Wait, there's a huge black monster moving within a collapsed building up ahead," Hawkeye continued, his voice tense.

"The target's descending; it's heading straight for the black monster!" he added, pointing to the screen.

Nick Fury's gaze intensified as he watched the ultra-clear display.

Rumble!

"Hold on!!!"

The roar of a dragon echoed through the night, a sound so powerful it seemed to shake the clouds and make the sky tremble.

Venom had just stomped on Deadpool, and the spider-sense on Deadpool's body flared to life. The high-altitude clouds churned, a sonic boom splitting the air. Deadpool glanced back, his eyes widening.

A silver-white monster was swooping down. It roared as it descended, casting a massive shadow over the ground. The air vibrated with the intensity of its arrival, and a stunning light curtain formed under the moonlight, making the scene look surreal.

The overwhelming force of Venom's attack had already struck fear into the hearts of those below. People on the streets shivered as an instinctual dread filled the air, a primal recognition of the power difference between creatures.

Duye, undeterred, roared defiantly, blood dripping from his mouth.

Roar!

The silver-white dragon, unphased, continued its descent. Duye prepared to strike with all his might.

Bang!

In an instant, the silver-white dragon's head collided with Duye's black fists. The impact released a tremendous burst of energy, shattering the ground and creating a web of cracks. However, Duye quickly realized that the silver-white dragon was not only larger but also significantly stronger.

Duye was flung backward, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact. The silver-white dragon landed heavily, causing a powerful gust of wind and a cloud of smoke.

"Chief, did you see that?" Natasha asked, maneuvering the Kun fighter to hover at a safe distance.

Nick Fury's response was grim. "Yes, I saw it. I have no idea where these monsters came from. Are they from space, or are they native to Earth?"

Duye struggled to get up, glaring at the new arrival. "Who dares challenge me now?"

The blue-eyed white dragon roared again, its voice deafening and causing everyone on the ground to cover their ears. The sheer volume of the roar felt like an icy chill settling over them.

Venom, sensing the disdain from the blue-eyed white dragon, transformed into a black meteor, hurtling towards the dragon with incredible speed. His hands morphed into massive warhammers, ready to strike.

The blue-eyed white dragon responded with a casual swipe of its paw. With a resonant "bang," Venom was sent flying, crashing away from the dragon with ease.

To the observers, the dragon's movements seemed almost effortless, as if Venom was nothing more than a minor nuisance.

Peter Parker, watching the scene unfold, noticed that Kaneki Ken, previously known for his weaker appearance, now exuded a more formidable aura. Kaneki Ken observed the battle from a distance before retreating into the shadows.

Venom, struggling to regain composure, glared at the blue-eyed white dragon. The dragon seemed to sense Venom's growing fear and took a step forward, causing Venom to retreat in response.

The blue-eyed white dragon's eyes glowed with contempt. Suddenly, its body transformed into a streak of silver-white light, accelerating towards Venom with incredible speed. It raised its sharp, icy claws, preparing for another attack.

Bang!

The clash was deafening. The immense body of Venom was tossed like a ragdoll, spinning through the air before hitting the ground hard.

"What in the world is that? It looks a bit like a dragon," Peter murmured, bewildered.

Nick Fury shared the same sentiment. The sight was beyond anything he had expected.

Venom, now thoroughly intimidated, began to retreat. Black matter flowed over his body as he formed wings from the black tendrils. He soared into the sky, attempting to escape.

The blue-eyed white dragon did not pursue immediately. Instead, it focused its gaze on the retreating Venom. Its eyes glowed with a brilliant blue light, and it raised its head, exposing rows of sharp teeth as it gathered a wave of dazzling white energy.

Explosive Blast Bomb!

A beam of white-blue light erupted from the dragon, streaking across the sky like a bridge between heaven and earth. It quickly closed the distance with the fleeing Venom.

Danger!

The spider-sense on Venom's body screamed warnings. He turned to see a vast expanse of white light rushing towards him.

Boom!

The explosion was catastrophic. Venom was engulfed by the blast, unable to regenerate or recover. The white-blue rays cut through the clouds, creating a blinding spectacle in the sky.

The shockwave from the explosion rippled through the atmosphere, dispersing the clouds and leaving a visible scar in the sky. Fortunately, the blast occurred high above the surface, minimizing the impact on people below.

The blue-eyed white dragon spread its wings and ascended into the sky, its form blending with the clouds.

As Natasha's Kun fighter approached the clouds, she found that the target had vanished.

Hawkeye, perplexed, exclaimed, "How is it possible for such a large creature to disappear without a trace under satellite surveillance?"

On the aerospace carrier, Coulson's face was troubled as he tried to recall where he had seen the blue-eyed white dragon before. The resemblance to something familiar nagged at him, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Do dragons all look like this?" Coulson wondered aloud, still puzzled.

A sudden realization struck him. "Kaneki Ken! Where did he go? I never asked if it's the same Kaneki Ken from the comics."

Peter, who had been standing nearby, realized that Kaneki Ken had vanished. Frustrated, he wondered if Xu Mo might have the answers.
