Chapter 20: A Tragic Drama Unfolds

In his seaside villa lab, Tony Stark watched through the cameras as Su Mu effortlessly shattered bulletproof glass—designed to withstand RPG blasts—using only five fingers, without any extra powers. He muttered, "What a monster! And he broke that glass with just his fingers? What's he up to now? Jarvis, check the direction he left in and see if there's anything notable."

Jarvis hacked into multiple surveillance feeds and, after a moment, projected some footage before Tony.

Upon seeing the footage, Tony couldn't help but exclaim, "What is that monster?! Is Su Mu going after these creatures? Jarvis, assemble the Mark 4 suit! I can't miss out on this!"

"But sir, the Mark 4 hasn't undergone its final tests…"

Tony interrupted him, "No need for testing; my design is flawless!"

In Harlem, North Manhattan, a terrifying green-skinned monster suddenly appeared, rampaging and killing anything that crossed its path. The once-busy area had become a hellish scene filled with gunfire, screams, and despair.

An elite, fully armed team advanced through the streets, firing at the monster, but their bullets and missiles did no harm. Like ordinary citizens, they were powerless before the green creature.

High up in a nearby building, Su Mu sat on the edge, legs dangling as he rested his chin on his hand, smiling as he watched the tragic spectacle unfold, waiting patiently for the main character's appearance.

Suddenly, there was a loud whoosh. Without looking back, Su Mu's six eyes detected Tony Stark's approach.

Tony observed the hellish scene below, his expression grave under his helmet. "What is this?"

Su Mu replied indifferently, "A small man who suddenly gained power and lost control—an act of revenge and madness."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Tony recognized that this young man had the power to stop the destruction but remained a cold, distant observer.

Su Mu shrugged, changing into a more comfortable position. "Just waiting for the main character to arrive! And you, shouldn't you be preparing for tomorrow's press conference?"

Tony didn't respond, instead asking, "Are you really just going to sit here, watching this monster kill and destroy?"

"Why not? I'm not obligated to stop him, am I?"

Tony fell silent, realizing Su Mu was right. He wasn't responsible for saving everyone.

Without another word, Tony flew toward the monster and fired his repulsor beams, but they had no effect. "Look here, green fatty, I've got a gift for you! Jarvis, full charge!"

The center of the Iron Man suit glowed as a thick beam of energy struck the monster.

Tony let out a sigh of relief—until a huge chunk of concrete flew his way, striking him and severely denting his armor.

The monster, unhurt by the blast, spit in Tony's direction before roaring, "Hulk! Come out and face me!"

On the building, Su Mu manipulated Tony's flight to prevent further injury and teased, "Tony, back so soon?"

Gasping, Tony removed his helmet, realizing he'd barely escaped death. He began to understand why Su Mu hadn't intervened; even Su Mu's incredible powers might be unable to counter such strength.

Just then, a loud crash sounded in the distance, and Su Mu stretched, saying, "The main character's here, so it's time for this villain to make his entrance."

He leapt off the building, vanishing from Tony's sight. Puzzled, Tony wondered, Why did he call himself the villain? Isn't the green monster the real villain?

Bruce Banner leapt from a plane, crashing into the ground to reveal a muscular, green giant—the Hulk had arrived.

Hulk tore a car in two, using the pieces as weapons as he charged at the monster. The two engaged in a brutal fight, leveling much of Harlem in the process. But due to the suppressant Banner had injected, Hulk's strength was limited, and he soon began to falter.

As the monster pinned Hulk down and began pummeling him, a voice rang out mockingly, "Come on, Abomination! That punch should've gone for the eye! Hulk, hit his weak spots—you know where those are, right?"

Both fighters paused, turning to see Su Mu lounging atop a lamppost, snacking on some chips he'd acquired from somewhere, directing them as though they were in a wrestling match.

"Why're you staring?" Su Mu snapped. "Keep fighting! I'm not done with my chips yet!"

Recognizing Su Mu as the notorious "white-haired demon," a Level 5 mutant, the monster—Abomination—scoffed, viewing him with disdain. He picked up a massive concrete block and hurled it at Su Mu with such force that it broke the sound barrier.

Without looking, Abomination turned his attention back to Hulk, confident Su Mu would be as easily dispatched as Iron Man. But a voice sighed from behind him, "Tsk, tsk, you naughty child…you can't just attack the referee, now can you, Abomination?"

Suddenly, a terrifying force struck Abomination from behind. Dark red lightning filled the air as he was sent flying, smashing through walls before crashing into the ground.

Reeling from the pain, he touched the wound on his back—a fist-shaped impression was bleeding green. He had never been hurt like this before!

From the distance, he could see Su Mu's glowing blue eyes watching him, cold and superior, like he was looking at an insect.

And in the silence, Su Mu's system notification sounded in his ear:

[+1 Energy Point]

[Template Fusion Rate: 40%]

[You've unlocked a new skill: Reversal Technique "He"]

Perfect timing, Su Mu thought, his familiar smile returning.
