Alex Rivers flew to her new villa with Faora in her arms. The villa was just a short distance from Tony Stark's house, and Alex could cover the distance in merely 1 second (128 x 340 = 43,520 meters per second).
Nestled amidst mountains and streams, the villa spanned a vast area with multiple buildings. From its rooftop, one could gaze upon endless expanses of trees and rivers—a breathtaking sight akin to a fairyland.
"This is our new home," Alex gently set Faora down.
"Queen, it feels too quiet here. You could use some attendants."
"There will be 'people' soon," Alex smiled faintly, summoning the stunning female Terminator T-X from the system space. Her presence was heroic and radiant, exuding extraordinary charisma.
The Terminator T-X bowed slightly, addressing Alex respectfully, "Master."
The T-X was purchased for 10 million prestige points, a system-enhanced version far more formidable than its movie counterpart.
"Very good. From now on, in this world, call me Boss instead of Master," Alex instructed.
"Understood, Boss," replied the Terminator T-X.
"From now on, all Terminators will be under your leadership," Alex stated, then proceeded to purchase 100 additional Terminators from the system, these costing 100,000 prestige points each.
"Understood, Boss," T-X nodded, acknowledging Alex's command.
While the regular Terminators weren't as powerful as T-X, they were more than capable of handling all the villa's tasks and security.
Each Terminator possessed superhuman strength and speed, coupled with advanced intelligence and adaptability to various environments and situations.
They operated autonomously, while T-X could also control them remotely.
"Hello, Boss," the Terminators greeted in unison, then promptly began their tasks, scanning their surroundings swiftly.
Through the remote control system, T-X directed the Terminators efficiently, calculating their positions and movements to optimize team efficiency.
The Terminators quickly took charge of various villa tasks—cleaning rooms, organizing furniture, handling housework, and guarding key areas inside and outside. Their high efficiency pleased Alex greatly.
Faora observed quietly, without a word.
"Skynet, replace the artificial intelligence Tony installed in the villa and work with the Terminators from now on."
"Yes, Master."
...On the street, pedestrians screamed and scattered. Annoyed by the noise, Abomination hurled a car at several innocent bystanders.
"Quick, use the rocket launcher," General Ross ordered, sweat beading on his forehead as he watched the massive figure roar amidst the flames.
The rocket streaked toward Abomination, leaving a fiery trail. Yet, the giant, yellowish-brown creature showed no fear, charging toward the rocket head-on.
With a deafening boom, flames engulfed Abomination, but he emerged unscathed.
The elite soldiers who fired the rocket froze. Even seasoned veterans felt "fear" witnessing a monster unscathed by lethal weapons.
"This is power! I am the strongest!" Abomination laughed, facing the camera, refraining from attacking the helicopter broadcasting live, seemingly intent on showcasing his invincibility to the world.
Abomination, formerly Emil Blonsky, was an aging elite soldier yearning to reclaim his past glory and acquire more power.
After injecting a small amount of Super Soldier Serum, Blonsky's physique neared human limits, approximating 60% of Captain America's strength, which inflated his ego.
However, against the Hulk, even a Super Soldier seemed ordinary. Bruce Banner shattered Blonsky's dreams with a single kick, nearly pulverizing him if not for the serum's healing abilities.
The stark disparity fueled Blonsky's ambition, igniting a desire for greater power.
Seeking to rival Hulk, Blonsky coerced Samuel Stern into injecting him with a diluted Hulk blood sample.
Thus, driven by a thirst for power, Abomination was born.
"Come on, Hulk!" Abomination taunted, ignoring the machine gunfire, and kicked a vehicle blocking his path.
Soldiers hesitated to shoot; those who had fired were often killed by Abomination. In the urban environment, heavy weaponry couldn't be deployed.
As for "orders," their superiors hadn't insisted on a fight to the death, prompting a tactical retreat.
Hulk struggled to rise; Abomination's last blow left him dazed. Previously disadvantaged, Hulk was suppressed by Abomination.
Abomination's military background provided him with combat experience, giving him an edge.
However, Hulk's rage fueled his strength. As his fury reignited, power surged through him.
Seeing this, Abomination met him head-on.
Abomination dodged Hulk's charge, landing a punch on his jaw. Hulk stumbled back, then charged again.
Two powerful monsters clashed in the city center, causing destruction akin to a demolition crew.
Hulk's punches and Abomination's kicks were simple yet devastating due to their immense power, causing more damage than heavy weaponry.
The giants battled fiercely, toppling office buildings and flinging cars into houses. The monstrous brawl left streets unrecognizable, with reinforced concrete buildings collapsing like paper.
The Mayor of New York watched the live broadcast, clutching his chest, repeatedly dialing the Military to demand the removal of the monsters.
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the bald-headed Nick Fury, clad in black leather, stared at a massive screen displaying the roaring monsters.
Just then, a tall, striking female agent in a tight uniform hurried to Fury's side.
With a serious expression, she reported, "Director, the Security Council demands immediate support. We must eliminate the monsters or drive them out of Manhattan."
The Security Council was anxious. If the battle reached Wall Street, it would be disastrous, potentially triggering a stock market crash.
