Top Secret

The sound of the explosion was incredibly loud, but it was within Li Yue's expectations. It was around the same level as the last time he had used Kamehameha!

The violent explosion created a 10,000-meter-deep crater in the ground, and the shockwave spread out in all directions like a moving wall of dust.

Everything that the shockwave touched was swept away and destroyed by the unstoppable force!

Fortunately, it was a deserted area filled with only rocks and useless things, so Li Yue wasn't afraid that his explosion would harm innocent people!

Regardless of its initial power, a shockwave would inevitably lose its momentum. After consuming everything within tens of kilometers radius, the shockwave finally calmed down somewhat.

The initial blast was enough to rip houses and trees from the ground, but right now it was at the level of strong wind that could barely startle a pedestrian—that is, if there's any pedestrian around!

...

"Well, that's all for the performance. It's time for me to go back into hiding. Keep your super identity separate from your civilian identity! This is the essence of a superhero!"

The dust cloud from the explosion was yet to settle, but Li Yue already knew the outcome.

There's no mistaking it. His power was enough to intimidate all those organizations and governments!

Besides, he already finished testing his battle armor and long-term high-speed flight! There's nothing to gain by staying here any longer.

With that thought, Li Yue used the smoke and dust to hide his figure and teleported away in the sky!

The smoke and dust lasted for a few more minutes before gradually dissipating, revealing the aftermath to the audience watching through the satellites!

"This...Is this really the action of a human? And how did he suddenly disappear?"

The audience watched the unfolding explosion and its aftermath in silence for a while, but they had no idea why or how the figure that caused it had disappeared!

They watched as the dust cloud revealed a dark pit, their mouths open wide, and their eyes filled with disbelief!

Even through the screen, where they can't directly feel the explosion, nor can they see the scale of the pit, the explosion left them with lingering fear!

If this explosion had been in the middle of a dense city, how many humans would die? It was unimaginable!

The power of this explosion didn't seem to exceed that of a nuclear bomb. Thankfully, there didn't seem to be any radioactive fallout either.

But remember that it was caused by a single human, on his own, fired casually!

That means that this person could fire countless more of this attack. And if he had targeted cities, the casualties would be unfathomable!

If this person wants to, he could destroy any city or even any country he wanted within a short period of time!

Moreover, his unparalleled toughness and unstoppable speed would prove to be nightmares for his enemies, even if it was the strongest nation in the world!

...

"Who was it that said something about attacking him? I want to know, do you stand by your advice?"

In the emergency meeting, the official that argued against attacking Li Yue was the first to break the silence! His words were smug as he glanced at the Air Force general!

He felt justified by the scene on the screen.

"This person here? If we insist on attacking him, who have the confidence that we can eliminate him with our first strike?

"If our first strike fails, then he would throw a massive energy ball at us in anger and blow us all to pieces! The entire White House would be blasted into ruins!

"General, do you still insist on your decision?"

...

"Bah, I get it! I'm not a fool, I still want to live!"

The Air Force general had a sour expression. His regret was immeasurable—who could've guessed that a human could possess such a destructive power? This was at the level of a nuclear bomb!

"Thank God the President didn't agree with his suggestion to send fighter jets against the person on the screen. Otherwise, that ball of energy might have exploded on his head instead on in the middle of a desert!"

He was a bit regretful, but also thankful. It's fortunate that the President didn't go through with his proposal! Otherwise, as the person that proposed to anger the figure on the screen, he would probably be sacrificed to appease that figure!

His motive to push for an attack was actually to unlock the secret to hypersonic flight! After all, this was the Marvel Universe, the same universe where Captain America became a superhuman with a few tubes of medicine.

It was his ambition to discover the method for high-speed flight. If he could unlock it, wouldn't that mean that he too could become like that?

He even fantasized about himself flying freely in the air like that figure!

However, reality slapped him hard on the face, sending him back to reality. Now, he understand that that person was not someone he could provoke, because that person had an unrivaled strength!

...

"Humph!"

However, despite his fear and doubts, he couldn't let such cowardice show through his dignified appearance as a general.

He simply snorted at the official that mocked him!

"Well, that mysterious person has disappeared for now, but as I believe you all can see with your own eyes, we now know what he was capable of doing!

"As his message said, if we stay out of his way, he likely wouldn't attack civilians unprovoked!

"However, we can't just stay silent! Intelligence departments, do your best to find more information about this person. More than anything, we need to find out his weakness and ways to control him.

"Our country will not take such provocation lightly, not even from a human with some special abilities.

"However, before we can find his weakness and ways to control him, don't any of you dare attack and anger him on your own! Should you survive, what awaits you would be court martial!"

The President's tone was serious as he stared deeply at the dark crater on the screen.

"Today's meeting is to be classified as top secrets. We cannot let any information about him leak. Violators will be charged with treason!

"Also, send someone to quarantine the blast zone! We can't let anyone in until we can find out what caused that explosion!"

The President revealed a flash of expectant look, but it disappeared in an instant!

"If we can control this power, our country will become the most powerful country in the world!"
