Chapter 906: Fierce Battle! 3 Minutes! (1)
Rolling smoke surged without end, and majestic air waves battered the earth.
The huge prison area located two hundred meters underground actually faintly showed signs of collapse under this terrifying vibration.
The violent tremors comparable to a magnitude eighteen earthquake even spread and affected the headquarters building above the surface. More than ten ferocious and terrifying cracks extended upward, spreading out like the branches of a dense tree.
Everyone clearly felt this terrifying tremor coming from underground.
Although they did not know what exactly had happened, the building was already swaying on the verge of collapse at this moment. The cracks on several main load-bearing beams or pillars appeared exceptionally shocking in everyone’s eyes.
Natasha used all her strength, running desperately through the building.
Others might not know yet, but she knew the truth. In the underground prison area, what kind of vicious criminals were imprisoned there, especially that guy Glenn Talbot, a terrifying figure who could manipulate gravity.
If those two fought, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters probably could not be preserved.
"Down below... I’ll leave it to you!"
Natasha put away her worries and focused on the task before her. "Alexander Pierce, leave him to me!"
After receiving Sharon’s distress signal, she made a prompt decision to split into two routes.
Chen Lin would be responsible for stopping Glenn in the prison area, while she would be responsible for capturing Alexander Pierce. With both approaches at once, they would completely destroy Hydra’s conspiracy.
...
At this moment, in the underground prison area.
The rising thick smoke blocked vision, and no figure could be seen at all.
The heavily injured Sharon barely moved beneath a load-bearing wall, leaning her back against it and gasping heavily.
Thanks to the telekinetic barrier Chen Lin had arranged beforehand, she was able to survive that terrifying shockwave. Otherwise, even if she had barely survived the impact of the air waves by luck, she would have been smashed into meat paste by the flying debris.
But even so, Sharon, whose injuries had already been severe, could only barely hold on to one breath and stop herself from fainting.
As for helping... she had the will, but not the strength.
With her swollen, bloodshot eyes, Sharon stared fixedly at the dense curtain of dust and smoke, trying to find Chen Lin’s trace.
As if sensing her call, the thick curtain of dust and smoke blocking her vision was suddenly scattered by a gust of strong wind.
Chen Lin was kneeling on one knee on the ground, a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes. But his left hand was tightly clutching his abdomen, and blood kept flowing out from between his fingers, soon gathering into a puddle on the ground.
From Sharon’s angle, she could see Chen Lin’s back clearly.
On the exact opposite side of the same position on his abdomen, there was a thumb-sized hole. Clearly, he had been hit by one of the metal balls, and the wound had been caused after it pierced through him.
"I like your current eyes."
Glenn spread his palm, several metal balls floating above it, a playful smile hanging on the corner of his lips. "But you’re still missing a few things, and that’s pain and despair. Let me admire it a little more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Glenn flipped his palm and swung it.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Those several metal balls of extremely great mass actually drew afterimages and vanished in an instant, erupting with a thunderous sound that tore through the sky.
Sharon, who had already witnessed the power of this move, widened her swollen, bloodshot eyes in terror and let out a scream full of worry, as if reminding Chen Lin to dodge this strike.
But unfortunately, she had guessed wrong.
A sharp light flashed in Chen Lin’s eyes. Not only did he have no intention of dodging, he instead rushed straight toward the metal balls.
Only one exchange, only one instant!
In Sharon’s eyes, it was as though an illusion had appeared. She could not clearly see what had happened at all.
But the result was that those metal balls all missed by the narrowest possible margin, grazing past the edges of Chen Lin’s body. It looked as if the metal balls had passed straight through his body.
"What? He dodged them?!"
Glenn’s expression changed drastically, as if he could not believe it.
But Chen Lin would not give him time to stand there in a daze. Almost at the same moment, telekinesis surged out, condensing into a translucent blade. As his palm chopped down, the blade formed from psychic power slashed through the sky.
Hualala!!!
Inside the narrow underground prison area, a sound like tearing silk suddenly rang out.
The calm void trembled violently in an instant, split apart by one slash like the curtain rising in a theater. As Chen Lin stepped forward, he burst out with an overbearing momentum that pressed ahead without retreat, filling every corner of the space, to the point that even the air flow became thick.
Glenn’s pupils trembled slightly, as if intimidated by this momentum.
But that intense sense of crisis still pulled him back from his daze into reality. An unprecedented tide of mental power surged like raging waves without end, and a momentum like a volcanic eruption emerged around his body.
"Stop... for me!!!"
Glenn pushed both hands forward, forming an absolute field with gravity multiplied by hundreds of times.
Gravity VS telekinesis!
Which was stronger and which was weaker would soon be revealed.
Clang!!!
The blade formed from telekinesis crashed into the field collapsed by hundredfold gravity.
As if Mars had struck Earth, the two completely different forces raised an earth-shaking air wave the instant they collided. Visible ripples spread through the void, and the surrounding metal-constructed ground was forcibly collapsed by dozens of meters.
In that instant, Sharon even thought she had gone deaf.
There was no sound and no color. The world seemed to have turned into gray tones, leaving only endless spreading ripples.
But in the next moment, Sharon finally heard sound.
Rumble!!!
Only at this moment did the power of the collision truly erupt!
It was a terrifying sound wave enough to tear the firmament apart. All visible matter before her twisted and collapsed under the sweep of the sound wave. Even the void itself was shaken with cracks, and the prison area was crushed like a block of tofu.
Sharon painfully covered her ears as blood flowed out from within.
She knew that her eardrums had already been ruptured, so she could not hear any sound now.
But even so, looking at the completely collapsed ruins of the prison area, she could still clearly feel through the trembling of her skin that that terrifying power was engaging in a heaven-destroying, earth-shattering confrontation.
Suddenly, a figure smashed through the dust and smoke.
The speed was so fast it could not be seen clearly at all. Across the ruined metal wreckage, it plowed out a trench several zhang wide. The heat generated by the intense friction even emitted rolling high-temperature heat waves.
Only at the end of the prison area did that figure finally stop.
Sharon narrowed her swollen, bloodshot eyes and discovered that the person who had been knocked back was actually still Chen Lin.
"Huff... huff..."
Glenn panted like an ox, sweat dripping down his cheeks. His eyes were sinister and vicious, carrying a sense of uncontrollable rage as he said hatefully, "Not bad. You’re the first person who has ever made me this miserable."
Although that slash had been bounced away by the gravity field, Chen Lin had reacted extremely quickly.
He had actually directly changed his palm into a fist, forcibly endured the hundredfold gravity, and punched him in the chest.
If, at the critical moment, he had not manipulated gravity to change direction and forcibly pushed Chen Lin away, his ending probably would have been a puddle of meat paste.
"Gravity? Hmph, nothing more than this."
Chen Lin shook out his arm, his expression indifferent as he said, "If you could control universal gravitation, today I would absolutely turn around and leave without hesitation. But if it’s only gravity... three minutes is enough to defeat you."
