Fuck!
The only thought in Hive's mind as he was blasted flying backward.
That damned bastard Alexander never told him that this Chen Lin was actually this strong!
But at this moment, he had no time to blame Alexander, because that terrifying man was actually chasing after him!
"Kill him!"
Hive wrapped his entire body in shadows and furiously ordered: "At all costs, flatten this place for me!"
Although the HYDRA members outside did not know who he was, the level of authority behind this order was very high, at least on the same level as Alexander, so in the end they suppressed the doubts in their hearts and chose to obey this mysterious person's command.
Three airborne killing machines, Harrier fighter jets hovered in the air, their muzzles aimed at the street below.
"Get down here for me!"
Chen Lin suddenly raised his head and clenched his hand in the void.
Vast telekinetic power like surging ocean tides instantly enveloped the sky, condensing into a gigantic translucent hand, then under Hive's horrified gaze, forcibly crushed the three Harrier fighter jets into a lump of uneven iron balls.
Boom!
That enormous iron ball heavily smashed onto the street.
The flat asphalt road was smashed into a huge crater, shattered stones shot in all directions with the violent airwaves, and the few HYDRA soldiers unlucky enough to be hit had holes blasted through their bodies, as if struck by bullets.
"M-Monster!"
"Kill him! Hurry and fire! Kill him!"
The HYDRA soldiers fearfully pulled the triggers, crazily pouring out bullets.
"You're courting death!"
A blood-red luster seemed to flash through Chen Lin's eyes as he held a telekinetic blade in his hand and slashed out with an overwhelming force.
Only to see a blade radiance like a white rainbow burst across the sky, the sharp chill even causing the temperature to suddenly drop several degrees, the roaring gale was severed by this slash, then expanded like an arc within everyone's eyes..... expanding again, until it finally disappeared.
Clouds churned like raging tides, drawing the sounds of wind and thunder.
After a moment of silence, what followed was like dominoes, people collapsing one after another... along with crumbling buildings.
This slash directly destroyed five nearby streets.
If HYDRA had not evacuated the residents beforehand, many ordinary people would likely have suffered disaster.
From a certain perspective, they could be considered to have fulfilled S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibilities. Perhaps after lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D. for so long, they had unknowingly been tainted by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s colors, no longer the purely evil HYDRA from before.
But all of this falling into Hive's eyes filled him with utter horror.
Although he had vaguely guessed that Chen Lin might be strong, he never expected him to be this terrifying.
As the leader of HYDRA, Hive had absolutely no intention of avenging his subordinates. He turned and fled without the slightest hesitation, only wanting to escape this terrifying place as quickly as possible.
But before he could run more than a few steps, he suddenly felt his entire body sink, unable to move an inch, as if burdened with the weight of mountains.
The relatively flat asphalt road nearby instantly filled with spiderweb-like cracks. Under the immense pressure, the cement collapsed and shattered, Hive's calves sank several inches into the ground, and explosive cracking sounds came from every bone in his body.
"To command so many people, your authority should be pretty high, right?"
Chen Lin slowly walked over without hurry, his black training uniform still spotless as new, his black eyes calm like still water.
"....."
Hive did not answer, his eyes darting around as if searching for a chance to escape.
"Tell me, what exactly is your objective?"
Chen Lin frowned slightly, raised his hand and grabbed an alarm clock from afar, twisted the spring twice before throwing it onto the ground, then coldly said: "If you can't say it before the alarm rings, I'll squeeze you into a smooth meatball."
Tick tick tick tick...
The clock hands continuously moved, producing crisp ticking sounds.
That sound was like the death knell of the Grim Reaper, striking Hive's heart again and again. As if to prove his words, Chen Lin slowly clenched his raised hand, and telekinetic force surged toward Hive from all directions.
Enormous pressure squeezed Hive from the outside, causing him to let out painful growls as his entire body was forcibly compressed into a ball.
"W-Wait!"
Hive panicked a little and hurriedly said: "You can't kill me, otherwise there will be even bigger trouble!"
"Heh, threatening me?"
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes as a frightening cold light surged within them: "The last person who threatened me already had his head twisted off. How about you guess whether after the alarm rings, I dare to squeeze you into a lump of meat paste?"
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Hive gritted his teeth and asked.
"No." Chen Lin directly refused.
"Then why should I tell you?!" Hive widened his eyes and questioned in both fury and ridicule. Although his entire body resembled a shadow, only his eyes were like those of a normal person.
"If you speak, I'll blow your head apart."
Chen Lin coldly said: "If you don't speak, I have hundreds of ways to deal with you. I guarantee you'll beg for life but not get it, beg for death but not achieve it."
Ding ring ring——!
The alarm clock suddenly rang, and Hive's expression instantly changed.
Chen Lin's eyes turned cold as his palm suddenly clenched shut. The surrounding pressure suddenly skyrocketed, and the sounds of bones being crushed exploded like firecrackers one after another. Hive's entire body was compressed into a lump, followed by miserable screams.
"Chen Lin..... I'll remember you!"
A vicious resentment burst out from Hive's eyes as he sternly roared: "Once I recover my real body, the first person I'll kill is you!"
"I'll be waiting."
Chen Lin suddenly exerted force and clenched his fist tightly.
Bang——
Hive's miserable screams abruptly stopped as his entire body was directly crushed alive.
Just as he had promised earlier, Hive was squeezed into a lump..... a smooth meatball, not much different from the lump of iron ball beside him.
After resolving the trouble, Chen Lin frowned and returned to his martial arts dojo.
But when he arrived at the second floor, he discovered that Fury, who had been left here, had actually disappeared. Even the telekinetic barrier protecting him had been forcibly broken apart, and a remaining scorching burn mark had neatly split the entire room apart.
"This aura... that bastard from the Eternals?!"
Feeling the lingering aura in the air, Chen Lin's expression suddenly changed: "Why did he kidnap Fury?"
Just as he was pondering why that bastard from the Eternals had kidnapped Fury, his heart suddenly spasmed and convulsed, and he felt an intense unease and palpitating warning, as though some enormous terror was forewarning him.
Rumble rumble rumble——
A violent tremor struck, causing countless objects in the room to fall.
The tremor came quickly and disappeared quickly, and the magnitude was not particularly strong, with no buildings collapsing because of it.
But Chen Lin's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and even a trace of fear appeared in his pupils: "This tremor and feeling... could it be... that thing is about to awaken?!"
Previously, no matter how much Fury tried persuading him, he had never wavered in his determination.
But the appearance of this earthquake and warning sign caused Chen Lin to feel deep fear, even uncontrollable trembling.
Having practiced martial arts for many years, he could briefly merge with heaven and earth, reaching the legendary state of unity between man and nature, so he was more sensitive to Earth's abnormal changes than anyone else.
During the earthquake just now, he sensed an enormous terror.
It was a..... terrifying consciousness he had accidentally encountered years ago while traveling through various countries, deep within the ocean.
With only a single encounter, he had nearly died beneath the sea.
The only thing he could confirm was that the consciousness deep within the ocean belonged to some powerful creature, though it had still been sleeping at the time.
If that thing had truly awakened, then it meant a disaster countless times more terrifying than the previous alien invasion was about to occur.

...
Meanwhile, on a certain street in New York.
Ikaris carried the unconscious Fury on his shoulder, and after sensing this tremor, a trace of joy appeared on his face: "Finally... finally it's about to begin? Thousands of years of preparation, the Emergence has finally appeared. The Celestial..... is about to awaken!"
