"Kong, it's really you!"
Killian saw the man find him and didn't bother to hide any longer. He took off his hood, his face icy, and stared at the silver figure hovering in front of him, his tone indifferent.
"I'm curious, how did you find me so quickly?"
He spoke slowly.
It seemed like small talk, but in reality, he was observing his surroundings to find the best escape route.
Killian had no intention of a death match with Anton, who had transformed into Kong!
Kong's combat strength level had been analyzed by many media outlets and netizens through his previous appearances in New York.
Killian, of course, had some understanding of the situation.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Kong; the key issue was that if this dragged on, it could attract other superheroes from the Justice League, which would be detrimental to him.
"What is done in the dark will be brought to light!"
Anton translated an Eastern saying into English.
Killian was well-educated and fully understood the meaning of the phrase.
"Furthermore."
Before he could speak, Anton continued, "Your biggest mistake wasn't doing the wrong thing, but underestimating Batman!"
Boom!
As the words fell, Anton gave him no further chance.
Energy cannonballs gathered in his palm, instantly tearing through the air and hurtling towards Killian.
As for the civilians nearby, they understood Kong's intentions the moment he arrived and, without needing to be told, evacuated the area.
After nearly a year of continuous attacks, the citizens of New York already knew the first choice when facing a crisis.
Run!
Get to a safe distance, then watch the show! Of course, if it was a major event like an alien invasion, it didn't matter if you ran or not, since nobody could escape, except for those living in the suburbs.
You're going to die no matter what!
"Hmph!"
Killian snorted coldly, already on guard.
With a spring of his feet, he dodged the energy blast that shot towards him.
BOOM!!
The ground where he had been standing was blasted into a sizable crater, demonstrating the astonishing power of the attack.
Stone chips flew everywhere.
Dust and smoke billowed.
Killian didn't counterattack. Instead, he targeted a previously identified passage and sprinted towards it, still unwilling to fight Anton to the death.
However, Anton's speed was faster than he had anticipated.
During his flight, he continuously used the energy blasts to force Killian to dodge.
The relentless attacks, while failing to harm Killian, had thoroughly infuriated him, driving him to the brink.
At the same time, Killian realized escape was virtually impossible.
Kong, behind him, possessed a brain comparable to a quantum computer, able to monitor nearby cameras at any time.
No matter where he fled, he'd be tracked.
Furthermore, Kong was fixated on him, making it incredibly difficult to escape his line of sight and find an opportunity to break free from his attacks.
So, he had no choice but to fight!
Killian's expression hardened as he finally made his decision. He turned and leaped, the high temperatures emanating from his body instantly incinerating most of his clothes.
Simultaneously, he unleashed abilities exceeding human limits, leaping seven or eight meters into the air and swinging his similarly reddened fists.
The air around him warped due to the intense heat he was emitting.
BOOM!!
He was going all out, ready to clash with Anton and show him what's what.
BOOM!!
Right behind that, Anton, transformed into Kong, had already anticipated his sneak attack by following Killian's footsteps.
Therefore, Anton was prepared, waiting for his blow.
A terrifying sonic cannon exploded right in front of him.
Killian bounced back and slammed directly into the sonic cannon. Then, he was sent flying by the massive shockwave, crashing into a building behind him like a ragdoll, completely destroying one side of the wall. Crack, crack, crack! Falling bricks rained down, immediately burying him.
"Hiss—"
"Kong is too strong!"
"As expected of my idol!"
The onlookers, watching from a distance, cheered at the scene.
To be honest, this level of crisis wasn't enough to scare the New Yorkers who had seen their share of big events.
The countless major incidents over the past year had already given them a thick skin.
And, every time a crisis arose, Batman and the others would appear in time!
Besides property damage, the actual casualties in New York were only a handful of unlucky individuals.
Therefore, people didn't fall into extreme panic because of these major events.
They even felt that because of these incidents, powerful superheroes had emerged, which instead made them feel very safe. This was also the biggest reason why they dared to stay and watch the show.
Full of trust for Kong!
"Bastard!"
In the "small mound" formed by the broken bricks, Killian suddenly exerted force. The extremely high temperature instantly melted the bricks covering him, and even the ground beneath his feet was tinged with the red of his body, seemingly showing signs of melting.
"Is this the Extremis Virus?"
Anton took the opportunity to observe the changes in Killian's body.
To be honest, although the Extremis Virus's upper limit wasn't high, its lower limit was still commendable.
It could be considered a rather interesting technology.
In a sense, in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Extremis Virus was the most likely to become the technology the military ideally used to create super soldiers.
The premise was to solve the stability of the Extremis Virus.
This was not an insurmountable problem, as demonstrated by Killian.
Killian could skillfully wield the power of the Extremis Virus.
However, even with his proficiency, Anton considered him nothing more than a small fry, incapable of causing any real trouble.
"The Extremis Virus is a decent technology… too bad your abilities don't match your ambition."
Anton looked at Killian, who was glaring at him, and said calmly.
"What I want to do is none of your business!"
Anton's condescending tone instantly enraged Killian, who felt his dignity had been trampled upon yet again.
He gritted his teeth, his body seemingly transforming into a furnace. His crimson cheeks vividly displayed his anger to Anton.
Boom!
Killian charged towards Anton, who was in mid-air.
Air currents erupted behind Anton, propelling him to face Killian.
This time, he gave Killian a chance for a head-on confrontation.
Pow!
Killian's fist landed on the metal body of Anton's chest.
However, what shocked Killian was that his hands, which were almost turned to lava, didn't cause any damage to the Kong in front of him, only leaving a faint, burning red mark.
"This..."
Killian widened his eyes, the only thought flashing through his mind: "How is this possible?"
The next moment.
Boom!
Anton slammed Killian into the ground with an energy blast.
Killian crashed heavily, creating a deep crater in the road, with cracks spreading outwards.
His chest was deeply caved in by the blast.
But thanks to the rapid self-healing ability of the Extremis Virus, he was only severely injured, not on the verge of death.
Just as he was about to get up, Anton, who had approached, stepped on his head.
"I think..."
Killian, pinned under Anton's foot, revealed an eye filled with hatred and madness, and heard the taunts of his enemy.
"Now, I should be qualified to evaluate you!"
