"Someone doesn't want me to just take things away; it seems like a fight is imminent."
Ron temporarily handed the Tesseract and the Mind Stone to Audreyf.
Thinking about it, it had been a long time since he had a big fight to stretch his muscles.
"As for you, Steve… I'm taking the Tesseract, do not try to stop me."
He looked at Captain America, his tone slightly warning.
Captain America had just been knocked away by Audreyf, and he stood firm with his shield, recovering from his injuries, his mind taut as Ron returned.
"That black sludge in your body cannot make you immune to all damage."
It wasn't hard to discern the origin of Captain America's newly acquired power—he was possessed by a symbiote, his strength reaching hundreds of tons, his speed surpassing the speed of sound, and possessing powerful self-healing abilities.
It didn't seem like an ordinary symbiote, but its strength was still limited for him; symbiotes feared high temperatures and sound waves, and a single heat ray could vaporize it.
"Ron…"
Hearing his warning, Captain America frowned, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, wanting to say something.
Whoosh!
The figure in the sky had already arrived, interrupting his words.
The tall figure ignored the immense inertia that could tear steel apart; one second he was dozens of times the speed of sound, the next he abruptly stopped.
The resulting gale swept through the city center like a typhoon, violently blowing away debris and dust.
"Cough, cough…"
Except for Ron and Audreyf in the sky, Captain America and the others on the ground were somewhat disheveled by the blowing dust.
"I rarely come out, I apologize.
I'm not very good at controlling this situation."
In the sky, a figure wearing a red and white tight Agent uniform, with a white 'H' symbol on his red chest, exuded a powerful aura, suspended in the air.
The newcomer's face was chiseled, with short, spiky golden hair, and a slightly dull and serious expression, as if there was little joy in his life. After apologizing to Captain America and the others, he turned to Ron.
"King of Wakanda, you have illegally invaded our borders. Hand over the government property you wish to take from our country, and surrender!"
His eyes sharpened, showing a disciplined military demeanor.
"How do I feel like this flying gentleman looks a bit off?"
Spider-Man, lying on the ground with an injured leg, lifted half his mask, coughing incessantly from the blowing dust, staring in shock at the powerful figure in the sky, and said with an open mouth.
Sharing Spider-Man's view, Luke Cage frowned, covering his aching chest as he voiced his strange feeling: "Like seeing a moving steel statue."
Although he felt unstoppable and unshakeable, he didn't quite feel like a normal person.
"This person is very strong."
Audreyf looked gravely at Hyperion, who had flown from the horizon in a blink, exuding a powerful oppressive aura. She frowned at Ron, a hint of worry in her voice: "Are you sure you can…?"
If anyone could compare to him, perhaps it was only Odin and Ron, who had shown her just the tip of their strength.
She couldn't judge who was stronger between Ron and him.
"Are you worrying about me?"
Ron chuckled, casually observing Hyperion, without a trace of tension in his words.
"I just want to keep my promise and not abandon the person I'm loyal to and run away."
Hearing his tone, Audreyf relaxed, saying exasperatedly.
"Don't worry, that time will never come."
He looked at Hyperion, confirming his suspicion: the 'Superman' spoken of by the United States Government was Hyperion, and his experience was also being raised by the United States Government to become their Agent trump card.
"Surrender? Do you think you can take me down?"
"My name is Hyperion, I merely wish to avoid unnecessary harm…"
In mid-air, Hyperion emphasized seriously, his tone like a deity with a trace of benevolence who did not wish to harm fragile mortals.
The United States Government, who raised him, had told him since childhood that he was the strongest person in the World, and his mere presence would cause panic among ordinary people.
"This World is not as simple as you think."
Unnecessary harm? Ron instantly vanished from his spot, appearing before Hyperion, startling him.
Hyperion's eyelids twitched at the unprecedented speed. He threw a punch, the unimaginable force of his fist stirring up a gale!
Bang!
Ron extended his palm to block, then swung his fist back, sending Hyperion flying. Fist and cheek collided at extreme speed, and a blast of air spread everywhere, causing Audreyf's beautiful orange hair to flutter. On the ground, Captain America and the others were nearly blown away.
"Is this a typhoon?"
Spider-Man, who was completely blown into the air and had to use his webs to hold onto the ground, complained in surprise.
Pain!
The pain Hyperion hadn't felt since growing up was once again clearly experienced. His head uncontrollably snapped back, his body was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing through a building, and hurtling towards the horizon at an astonishing speed.
A large hole was opened in the building, and the shattered structure collapsed to the ground with a deafening crash.
The ground trembled, and Captain America and the others' hearts jumped. Their expressions were shaken, truly feeling Ron's exaggerated strength—knocking a person away had collapsed a building.
Red flames ignited around him, and Ron instantly broke the sound barrier repeatedly, pursuing Hyperion and appearing before him, throwing a punch.
"There's someone like me on Earth?
Are you my kin?"
He raised his arm, difficultly blocking the blow. The collision of their powers created a roaring airwave that cleared the clouds for a hundred meters around. Hyperion's lips cracked and bled slightly, as he looked at Ron with astonished suspicion.
He had never seen anyone display speed not inferior to his own, or strength capable of sending him flying.
From childhood, the people around him, though outwardly similar, were as fragile as bubbles!
Hiss!
"Kin?
That purple-headed mastermind who invaded Earth, he's your kin."
Hearing Hyperion's suspicion, Ron's eyes emitted scarlet rays, striking Hyperion and continuing to output energy.
Hyperion is an Eternal orphan. Besides the Eternal's standard powerful and indestructible body, he can absorb cosmic energy, giving him various superhuman attributes and allowing him to manipulate cosmic energy to specifically enhance certain abilities.
Besides superhuman strength, speed, etc., he possesses X-ray vision, heat beam vision, and regenerative abilities, making him almost a replica of Superman.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can confirm you're lying to me."
He extended his hand to block, his skin burning from the plasma high-temperature energy. Stimulated by the pain, Hyperion let out a slightly angry roar, his eyes emitting highly destructive atomic heat vision beams: "How could my kin be an enemy who invaded the United States and Earth, and I don't have a purple head."
Two heat vision beams, capable of instantly vaporizing steel, collided in the air.
Terrifying energy mutually annihilated, and the surrounding temperature rapidly rose.
Although Thanos looked different from the Eternal, practically 'unique' in appearance, he was indeed an Eternal. What was stated was a fact, yet it was not believed, or rather, instinctively rejected.
"You've been a bit brainwashed by the United States Government."
Unable to reason, he commented coldly.
The moment Hyperion appeared, everyone could sense his abnormality.
Generally, people are complex, having experienced both bitter and sweet lives, with joy and anger, and both bright and dark sides.
Hyperion gave a different feeling from a normal person; he was too 'thin,' one could tell at a glance that he was like someone who lived in a singular World and had not been exposed to the outside. Though a warm-blooded human, he was like a pre-programmed robot.
"There seems to be nothing to discuss with a weapon."
Ron flashed in front of Hyperion, frowned, and swung his fist, blasting the air, aiming a fierce blow at his face.
