Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Legend
New york city.
The sky is burning, and the earth is screaming. Soaring flames lit up the night sky, and black smoke filled the streets. The tremor was as if someone was beating violently with a drumstick, and the streets were in shambles.
Even the residents who live on this street would have a hard time imagining that this is in the heart of downtown New York.
This is supposed to be hell.
The streets are filled with people fleeing in panic, as if fleeing from an endless fire. Bodies and blood were everywhere, and even some roads were painted bright red with blood. Armored vehicles and tanks were driven into the block, and the soldiers shouted for kill, rushed forward one after another, and poured fire frantically at something in the flames.
But it didn't work. The demon was bathed in flames, his feet on hot corpses and bullet casings everywhere, and he rushed out of the fire with a roar!
There are no words to describe what kind of monster it was, it seemed to be something that only existed in hell! It is large in size, yet swift in its movements, swiftly leaping between the burning ruins of the streets, like a nimble orangutan. Its skin was so hard that bullets itched when it hit it, and even frontal bombardment from tank guns was ineffective. The demon could overturn a tank with a single hand, and the sharp claws could slice through armored vehicles like papier-mâché, and these thermal weapons seemed like a funny joke to him.
Another squad was wiped out. A bruised GI was curled up in a heavily distorted military jeep, his forehead covered in slimy liquid, and his vision blurred. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled at the top of his voice: "Alpha Squad is all wiped out!" Repeat, annihilation! We need more people, heavier firepower......"
Rumble!
It was as if lightning struck the ground outside his car, and the demon landed beside him.
The GI turned back with difficulty. For the first time in the battle, he confirmed with his own eyes what they were fighting for.
It was a large man more than three meters tall, with rough earthy yellow skin and pitted bodies. It has snake-like eyes, and a long tail behind it seems to follow the eyes of its spine, which is full of shocking barbs. Its snort was heavy and scorching, like a fire burning in this earthly purgatory.
It was the last thing the soldier had ever witnessed. Looking at that thing was like looking at Death himself.
In the next second, he felt as if his weight had disappeared - he was thrown into the air more than ten meters high by that thing with people and cars.
......
Aegis, a floating carrier.
From the moment that earthy yellow monster appeared on the streets of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special line was almost blown up. Director Nick Fury's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot - though his face usually looked similar. He stared intently at the lively yellow guy on the huge hanging screen, and he almost put the words "angry and ruined" on his face.
"Commander Fury, General Oss is calling!"
"No."
"Mr. Secretary of State is calling!"
"Say I'm busy!" Fury said, turning to the person next to him with some annoyance, "What about Stark?" Where are the Starks? ”
"Mr. Stark is not in New York City right now." A communications agent wearing a headset sweated profusely and said, "He traveled to Washington last week to talk with the military about the ownership of Iron Man's technology, and he hasn't been back yet......."
Fury cursed under his breath.
"World Security Council ......"
"Just refuse." Fury said distraughtly.
"Mr. President is calling! He made a point of emphasizing the importance of talking to you. ”
Nick Fury frowned, thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Take it in." ”
"Commander Fury, you've seen the situation in New York, right?"
"Yes, Mr. President."
"So I'm wondering, what is Aegis's current countermeasure?" Mr. President said, as if his tone was not in place, so he added a special emphasis, "Now." ”
"We're still in the process of evaluating and observing." Fury muttered, "Aegis is not equipped with the weapons to fight this situation. ”
"I must warn you, Commander Fury, that while you are 'assessing and watching', innocent people are dying!" Mr. President raised his voice.
There is no doubt that this is a direct pressure. But Fury said calmly: "General Ross's troops are already on the scene. After all, 'Abomination' was the basket they poked out, and no one was more experienced in dealing with gamma-mutated monsters than General Ross's troops. So I judge ......"
"Commander!" One agent yelled, "You need to come and see this!" ”
Fury glanced at the screen over there, petrified as if he were electrocuted.
He had always thought that he had seen enough in his life, and as the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had seen all the strangest things in the world. But even so, he couldn't help but doubt what he saw with his only remaining eye......
"The situation...... A little has changed. Fury felt his lips dry as he spoke, "I'll call you later." ”
......
Not only Aegis saw it, but everyone saw it. Photographers aboard press helicopters who were in the air captured the scene faithfully – a moment that will undoubtedly go down in the annals of this world's history.
Like a meteor tearing open the night sky, the golden light shone the night as bright as day, and a large blur of things fell from the sky wrapped in golden light, like a smart missile that had been entered into the target, aiming straight at the monster in the street.
At this moment, the monster happened to tear a squad of armored vehicles with its hands, and at this time, it was invincible, and it closed its eyes and raised its head and yelled like a demonstration, as if it felt that it was invincible in the world. And when it realized that something was wrong, it opened its eyes and looked up, and the huge shadow was as close as Mount Tai's top......
Rumble!!!
It was as if an extraterrestrial meteorite had fallen to the ground, and the monster that had been arrogant just now was deeply bombarded into the ground in the next second. A transparent wave of air erupted like a typhoon, the flames were blown away by the domineering air pressure, and the billowing black smoke was blown away in an instant.
It was a fist.
Yes, a huge fist.
The tall silver giant of a building was half-crouched in the middle of the ruined block, his right fist digging deep into the ground—exactly where the monster had just stood. When he withdrew his fist and stood up straight, the monster had been nailed to the floor like a small shrimp, unable to move a finger.
The neighborhood was still in ruins, the flames were still burning, but in an instant, it was as if the whole world was quiet.
That's where it all started.
This is the legend called "Ultraman", which was born in this world at the moment.
