Fury had already quietly taken notice when he first appeared on the streets of Manhattan.
But since this was a matter for the military, S.H.I.E.L.D. could hardly intervene unless the Council issued an order. No matter how much damage this monster causes today, Fury won't get involved.
Of course, the main reason is also that they don't have a weapon powerful enough like the Hulk to stand up to that big guy.
At first, he expected Tony to step in and stop it all so he could assess the true upper limit of Iron Man.
But, it turned out that Tony was also very clever, he backed off the moment he saw the soldiers and didn't want to get involved.
Then, as things progressed, Fury saw Alaric's arrival.
At that moment, Fury thought he was seeing Captain Marvel!!
In his opinion, if the army ends up failing to subdue the Abomination, perhaps only Captain Marvel could stop him!
Especially when Fury saw how Alaric effortlessly held the huge fist of the monster and simply shook his head, the impression it left on Fury was no less than the first time he saw that orange cat named Goose, known as the Devouring Beast, open its mouth!!!
At that moment, Fury felt his adrenaline surge!
He screamed inwardly:
This is the superhero I want!!
This is the power I crave!!
Fury swore! At all costs, he must get this man on the Avengers roster!!
But unfortunately, that strange man who suddenly appeared was no one Fury knew.
Not even in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. system was there a single piece of data about him.
But he wasn't afraid!
He told himself, unless you, like Captain Marvel, fly off Earth, Fury will dig three meters underground if he has to, but he will find you!!
...
In Queens, New York, a girl dressed in white with a hood stood among the crowd watching the live broadcast on the big screen in the square.
Like everyone else, she clenched her fists and watched with tension as the huge green monster destroyed everything in the city, took down a helicopter, and she froze even more when she saw it about to strike a survivor who had just crawled out of the wreckage.
But suddenly, when Alaric appeared on the screen, when he stopped the monster's fist with incomparable strength, the girl jumped with joy, clenched her fist, and shouted:
"Yeeees!!"
Like her, many others did the same.
The entire square suddenly erupted in massive excitement!!
"Superhero!!"
"Savior!!"
"Kill that monster!!"
"Go go go!!"
...
Shouts, excitement, and cheers echoed throughout the square.
Even the police officers, who were completely desperate, started hugging each other from the excitement!
...
In Manhattan, on the ruins beside the remains of the helicopter.
Abomination looked in confusion at the small man in front of him, not understanding why his normally devastating punch hit as if striking indestructible steel, and the immense force even hurt him.
"Die!!"
If he couldn't understand it, he didn't care, he was going to destroy everything in his path anyway!!
Abomination raised his fists again, this time both hands, ready to strike with full force.
"Hulk!!"
Boom!!!
Hulk finally arrived, striking and hurling the Abomination away with a single blow!
Hulk stopped, looked at Alaric, two white puffs of steam came from his nose, he said nothing, and just rushed forward to continue fighting his hatred.
In Hulk's mind, the man who saved Betty was a good man.
Alaric shook his head and quietly took flight.
He couldn't allow Hulk and Abomination to continue their battle.
His figure flickered and Alaric suddenly vanished.
...
"Where did he go!?"
"He… he can fly too!!"
"Jane! Your boyfriend can fly too!!"
Darcy excitedly shook Jane.
"I saw!!"
This time, Jane didn't deny Darcy's comment that Alaric was her boyfriend, she just continued to watch the screen seriously.
...
"Where is he!?"
"Did he leave!?"
"No! There he is!!"
"Where, where!!"
"Behind that monster!!"
...
Everyone in the Queens square was looking for Alaric.
Whether it was Fury, Tony, Wade, or anyone else following the situation, they were all now staring at the screens…
And all of them were yelling at the reporters to aim the cameras better!!
"Damn it! Jarvis! Keep the suit online, I'm switching to first-person view!!"
Tony, who had planned to back off, couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
...
As many saw, Alaric instantly appeared behind the Abomination, who had been knocked flying by Hulk and was still in the air.
Alaric flew up, raised his palm, and pressed it against Abomination's back, stopping his body.
Abomination immediately felt as if he had hit a steel plate, even though he could now easily crush a car.
But before he could react, everything went dark before his eyes, his shoulders snapped under the immense pressure, and bones could be clearly heard breaking.
Boom!!
Alaric teleported, appeared in front of Abomination, and struck him from above.
With a huge crash, Abomination was slammed into a deep crater beneath him.
The ground, which was flat just moments ago, now had a huge dent where he landed.
"So strong!" Fury watched the scene and felt sweat all over his body.
That direct contrast of power made all the men watching the broadcast blush with excitement, their adrenaline shot to the sky, and they all wished they were the ones delivering that blow!!!
"Hulk!!"
As soon as Alaric kicked Abomination, he felt a powerful gust of wind behind him.
He turned and raised his hand, catching Hulk's fist.
"You… why are you hitting me?"
Alaric tilted his head and looked at Hulk in confusion.
Jane: "He's so cute!"
Hooded girl: "He's so cool!!"
...
"Hulk?"
Hulk wanted to say that he didn't mean to hit him, but Abomination.
But Alaric was too fast, he had taken down Abomination before Hulk could pull back his fist, so he accidentally hit him.
But Hulk still doesn't know how to speak such long sentences, so he just deepened his voice, letting him know it wasn't intentional.
"Hulk, you're too strong, so I'm going to seal you!"
Alaric gripped Hulk's fist and shook him hard, throwing him backward.
Hulk growled as he flew backward, and then behind him appeared a golden ring, through which Hulk passed unnoticed and vanished from Manhattan.
Alaric blew the dust off his hands and closed the portal.
Let Hulk cool off first, and he'll deal with the Abomination.
