Chapter 216: One Punch to Complete the Mission! Homecoming

Chapter 216: One Punch to Complete the Mission! Homecoming

Old Chu had once mentioned that the best strategy for this mission was to guide the nuclear warhead to detonate among the Zytarean army in outer space.

Someone had succeeded in doing so in the past and received an S-class mission evaluation.

Zhao Zheng, having watched the original storyline, naturally knew the ideal destination for the nuclear warhead.

However...

He didn't feel the need to follow that strategy.

He just wanted to test if humanity's strongest weapon could harm him in his current state...

The result left him extremely satisfied!

At this moment, Zhao Zheng stood in the void, a smile on his face, clearly in high spirits.

The power of the Bio-Field far exceeded his expectations.

Before activating the Bio-Field, it was uncertain whether Zhao Zheng could reach the eighth-rank standard.

But now, with the Bio-Field, Zhao Zheng's strength had undoubtedly surpassed the Archon rank, making him one of the Archon-class powerhouses!

The mushroom cloud from earlier had been dispersed by his sheer aura.

It seemed that the emergence of the Bio-Field had enhanced the power of his Tyrant Color Aura.

It even gave birth to an invincible spirit within him.

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng retained his rationality and didn't let this power go to his head, thinking he was invincible.

Not to mention the existence on Blue Star that was devouring the sun, even in this Marvel world, there were plenty of formidable opponents who could deal with him...

Meanwhile, Zhao Zheng turned his gaze towards Manhattan.

It was time to wrap up this mission!

...

At the same time, everyone who witnessed Zhao Zheng's survival was left in shock.

To directly face a nuclear explosion and survive at the heart of it... If they had heard this under normal circumstances, they would have dismissed it as a fantasy.

But now, they had witnessed it with their own eyes!

The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., in particular, were stunned beyond belief.

They understood that the emergence of such a being on Earth would undoubtedly disrupt the existing balance.

"A god among men has been hiding among us, and I had no inkling of it. How is that possible?" Director Haludan's expression turned grave.

No one could answer his question.

Zhao Zheng and his group had appeared out of thin air.

Director Haludan issued another order: "I don't care how you do it, but I want all the information on him within a day!"

This command was indeed a tall order.

Agent Coulson couldn't help but speak up: "Sir, perhaps he's an alien who just happens to look like us. There's no such monster among us humans..."

His words immediately resonated with the others.

...

Manhattan.

"Compared to Thor..." Iron Man scoffed, "That guy is more like a god."

"This is crazy!" Hawkeye exclaimed, "I might as well start believing in God, because only God can explain why such a monster exists."

"We should be grateful that he's on our side," Black Widow added. "Now, it's Loki who should be afraid."

"He's coming!" Captain America warned.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned serious, their spirits lifting.

Even the usually carefree Iron Man couldn't help but be cautious when facing such a formidable being.

Not far from them, Umuhuro was reprimanding Loki!

"You dare deceive the great Thanos, you wretched Asgardian! For causing Thanos to lose his soldiers, you shall pay a heavy price for your foolishness!"

Loki was taken aback, "When did I ever deceive him?"

Umuhuro cursed, "There's a terrifying human on this planet, and not only did you not inform us beforehand, but you also led the Zytarean soldiers to attack?"

"No! It's not my fault!" Loki quickly defended himself, "I had no prior knowledge of his existence. That human is even more fearsome than Odin. If I had known he was here, I wouldn't have dared to come."

Umuhuro didn't care about Loki's excuses and immediately shifted the blame onto him, "You idiot! Even if you didn't know, didn't you conduct a thorough investigation before planning to invade this planet? This is your negligence!"

As Zhao Zheng flew towards them, Umuhuro was startled and quickly said, "You'll pay for Thanos' losses!"

With those words, Umuhuro turned and fled, startling Loki.

Running away was the right choice; staying would only mean certain death.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Zhao Zheng's flight speed and overestimated his own.

"Boom!"

A massive sonic boom suddenly reverberated.

The next moment, that awe-inspiring figure stood in front of Umuhuro.

His speed was at its extreme!

Seeing Umuhuro's panicked expression, Zhao Zheng smiled and asked, "Why the rush?"

Rushing home for dinner?"

"My master is the cosmic tyrant Thanos!" Umuhuro blurted out in desperation.

Zhao Zheng laughed, "Even if that purple sweet potato came here, he wouldn't escape death today!"

Umuhuro didn't understand the meaning of 'purple sweet potato,' but when he realized it was an insult directed at Thanos, he became furious.

He seemed to know that his chances of survival were slim, and his face turned grim as he prepared for a final, desperate struggle.

Umuhuro slowly raised his hands, and his telekinetic powers reached their maximum output.

On the ground, countless cars, debris, and damaged buildings rose into the air, floating in mid-air behind Umuhuro.

The scene was spectacular!

It must be said that Umuhuro was indeed the most formidable of the Black Meteor Five Generals.

His telekinetic powers were no weaker than Magneto's ability.

And Magneto could only control metal, while Umuhuro could control all objects!

The next moment, Umuhuro roared and forcefully pushed his hands forward.

Instantly, the sky filled with debris began to move, accelerating towards Zhao Zheng.

Witnessing this breathtaking scene, Captain America and the others were all terrified.

If Umuhuro had used this level of power against them earlier, they would have been in grave danger.

However, facing this attack, Zhao Zheng merely smiled.

He casually threw a punch.

"Crack!"

An indescribable shattering sound reverberated through the heavens and earth, like an ancient bell ringing in the primordial chaos, suddenly humming.

Driven by this shattering sound, everyone felt their hearts tremble.

Everything in the world seemed to freeze.

The countless pieces of debris controlled by Umuhuro's telekinesis were struck by Zhao Zheng's punch and froze in mid-air.

Then, the void began to shatter!

Countless cracks appeared, starting from Zhao Zheng's fist and spreading rapidly across the void, covering the debris.

"Boom!"

The entire sky seemed to shatter like a mirror from Zhao Zheng's punch.

Umuhuro didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground along with the debris.

...

Black Widow and the others were completely stunned.

Although Zhao Zheng had not even used half of his strength in that punch, it still left them in awe.

What kind of power was this? What ability was this?

How could a single punch shatter the sky?

Even a formidable opponent like Umuhuro was defeated so easily?

It was truly... a one-hit kill!

"I have to say, he's a bit scary," Iron Man remarked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently.

The surrounding skyscrapers trembled violently.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

"Why is there an earthquake all of a sudden?" Hawkeye and the others were in a state of panic.

Black Widow, recalling something, quickly said, "That girl, before she left, told us to find an open area and not hide in buildings... Could it be that she knew an earthquake would happen?"

"No!" Captain America's eyes fixed on Zhao Zheng in the distance, his expression grave. "The earthquake was triggered by his punch just now."

The group was horrified!

Please... collect... Chapter 6...9...!

Killing Umuhuro with a single punch wasn't enough; he even caused such a powerful earthquake?

What kind of monster is this guy?

What they didn't know was that Zhao Zheng's punch was far from his true strength.

If Zhao Zheng had struck with full force, the resulting earthquake would have destroyed all of New York!

...

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng's punch did not directly hit the ground, causing only an air shock.

The earthquake was just an aftershock, lasting only a few seconds before disappearing.

Black Widow and the others remained shaken, their eyes fixed on Zhao Zheng.

As for Loki...

He was almost scared to death.

So, when Zhao Zheng approached Loki, Loki didn't hesitate to kneel.

"Please forgive my foolishness..."

Zhao Zheng was taken aback by Loki's swift submission.

In his previous life on Earth, after the Endgame, there were few Marvel characters left to watch.

Loki was one of the few survivors.

Zhao Zheng had no intention of killing Loki, and since Loki begged for mercy, he decided to let him go.

"Hand over the Soul Staff in your hand," Zhao Zheng demanded.

Loki immediately offered it with both hands.

Zhao Zheng took the staff, but unfortunately, it wasn't a superhuman item.

It seemed that the Infinity Stones in the Marvel universe were not considered superhuman items.

He had initially planned to collect them on his next visit, but now it seemed unnecessary.

A moment later, Zhao Zheng, Song Haitang, and the Avengers gathered on the rooftop of the Stark Industries Tower, surrounding the Space Gem.

"Is the Scepter the key to closing the space channel?" Captain America asked urgently.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's close it!"

"Hold on!" Zhao Zheng waved his hand and turned to Song Haitang, "Haitang, how much time do we have left?"

Song Haitang replied without hesitation, "Half an hour."

"That's enough!"

Zhao Zheng handed the Scepter to Song Haitang and said, "You keep this safe. I'll go in and kill some more Zytareans. I'll close the channel when I return."

"That's outer space!" Iron Man quickly reminded him, "Can you survive in a vacuum?"

Zhao Zheng merely smiled, his confident demeanor already answering the question.

Song Haitang nodded, "Okay!"

Zhao Zheng flew into the sky and entered the space channel, directly facing the Zytarean army in the universe.

"Crack!"

With a single punch, the entire outer space trembled. A massive cosmic warship quickly ruptured and disintegrated under the sheer force. The powerful destructive power even reached Earth's atmosphere, causing the space channel to shake uncontrollably.

Although Captain America and the others couldn't see what Zhao Zheng was doing, the tremors alone told them that the battle on the other side was intense. They then glanced at the Scepter in Song Haitang's hand, but no one dared to have any ill intentions. If they failed to seize it and that man returned, would Earth still be salvageable?

"Sister Haitang, should we go and help?" Wang Fei asked in a low voice.

Song Haitang shook her head, "We won't be of much help."

"Uh..." Wang Fei said, "I see some aliens on the ground who have infiltrated the streets. Should we go and eliminate them?"

Song Haitang thought for a moment and shook her head, "Forget it. Zhao Zheng is dealing with the main force. It doesn't matter if a few slip through."

Wang Fei was left speechless, and then he exclaimed, "Brother Zhao is just... too powerful!"

Chen Kai resonated with this, "Indeed, it's unbelievable. We've just graduated, and he's already one of the top powerhouses... Wang Fei, regarding Brother Zhao's strength, please don't spread it around carelessly after we leave."

"Old Chen, do you think I'm an idiot? I won't say anything, of course."

Song Haitang smiled but didn't say more.

At that moment, Loki, the captured prisoner nearby, suddenly turned his eyes towards the three of them.

"Your friend is truly formidable, stronger than some cosmic overlords and deities I know," Loki said with a smile, "He's not from Earth, is he?"

Song Haitang's eyebrows furrowed.

Ms. Shen had mentioned that Loki was cunning and treacherous, despite his mediocre strength, and that they should be cautious around him.

Before Song Haitang could respond, Chen Kai threatened, "It seems you haven't learned your lesson. When my friend returns, I'll inform him of this."

Loki's face changed, and he quickly said, "Sir, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to introduce myself. Perhaps I can be of assistance if you have any tasks."

"Introduce yourself? Introduce what? Your failures?" Chen Kai's words were merciless.

Loki's expression became awkward upon hearing this. As a captured prisoner after his defeat, he couldn't refute these words.

Chen Kai continued, "If you don't want more trouble, I suggest you keep quiet and shut your mouth."

Realizing that Chen Kai was difficult to deal with, Loki had no choice but to remain silent.

A few minutes later, the group noticed that the Zytarean soldiers, who were running amok in the streets of Manhattan, suddenly collapsed and died all at once. It was clear that their central command had suffered a devastating blow, causing the soldiers to perish.

Soon after, Zhao Zheng flew out of the space channel and returned.

"Mission accomplished!"

He had single-handedly eliminated all the Zytareans.

The exact number was beyond even Zhao Zheng's count...

Upon seeing his safe return, Wang Fei and Chen Kai's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Brother Zhao, you're amazing!" Wang Fei exclaimed.

Subsequently, the space channel was closed, and the Scepter and the Cosmic Cube fell into Captain America's hands.

Zhao Zheng willingly handed them over since he couldn't take them with him.

After another twenty minutes, the mission time was up, and Zhao Zheng, Song Haitang, and the others disappeared from the spot...

This astonishing scene left the Avengers members in awe once again.

"Where are we? How did you all end up here?"

A voice sounded as Thor, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally woke up.

"Loki? Have you... surrendered?"
