S.H.I.E.L.D.
moved quickly.
The moment the order was received, they immediately took action.
Two hours later, Coulson and Sean arrived at their destination while the other agents began carrying out their assignments.
“Mr. Sean, please wait here. We’ve already dispatched a scouting team. ”
“No need. Leave it to me. ”
“Hmm?”
Coulson looked at Sean in confusion.
Sean remained completely motionless, like a corpse.
Just as Coulson was about to step forward and ask what he meant, Sean’s figure began to fade.
Until it completely disappeared.
Coulson’s outstretched hand froze in midair, and he was so startled that he nearly fell onto the sand.
What remained before Coulson was merely Sean’s afterimage.
Sean’s body had moved like a streak of light, vanishing in an instant.
When Sean was almost at the foot of the mountain, he bent his legs and gathered his strength.
Then he pushed off the ground with tremendous force.
His body shot toward the mountain at incredible speed, leaving a small crater in the sand behind him.
Sean landed on the mountaintop and looked out.
There was a small base in the valley below.
It was filled with weapons, and every single one of them came from Stark Industries.
Even Tony’s latest weapon demonstration, the Jericho missile, was there.
Men were patrolling the area with weapons in hand.
Some were huddled around fires to keep warm.Others constantly moved between the various caves.
Every one of them carried a weapon.
Suddenly, a bald man walked out of one of the caves.
He said a few words, gathered a group of men, picked up his weapon, and hurried toward another cave entrance.
Something had clearly happened.
As the apparent leader of these thugs, he was going to deal with it himself.
“The timing is perfect. ”
Sean smiled faintly.
“Iron Man has been born. ”
Sean knew exactly what had happened.
Tony had created the first Iron Man armor.
His body exploded into motion.
He launched himself downward like a drawn bow, shooting toward the base below.
The impact blasted cracks across the ground, while broken stones were sent flying by the violent gust of wind.
The enormous commotion immediately attracted the attention of the thugs.
The remaining thugs outside rushed over, raising their guns and aiming them at Sean.
The men at the front cautiously watched Sean.
They gripped their weapons tightly and slowly advanced, attempting to capture this strange intruder.
Sean didn’t move.
He simply let them approach.
When they were only two meters away, one of the thugs suddenly rushed forward, raised his gun, and viciously swung it toward Sean’s head.
Sean’s eyes sharpened.
His gaze swept across the group of thugs.His right hand shot forward and seized the neck of the man in front of him.
He lifted him up and threw him toward the surrounding crowd.
The nearly two-hundred-pound man was as light as a piece of paper in Sean’s hands.
The thug became a human missile.
He slammed into the crowd, smashing several people apart and even blasting apart the enormous boulder beside them.
The entire motion took less than a second.
The thugs didn’t even have time to react.
Sean repeatedly grabbed the men in the front row.
One after another, they became accurately aimed missiles, crashing into the crowd and leaving a trail of carnage in their wake.
In an instant, corpses were scattered across the ground in front of Sean, and blood flowed like a river.
Not a single person remained intact.
Bones were twisted into bizarre and unnatural shapes.
Sean felt no discomfort whatsoever.
To him, it was like crushing a pile of ants.
Just as someone might step on ants to avoid getting their hands dirty, he simply used his overwhelming strength to wipe them out.
That was the arrogance his power had brought him.
So what if there was a conspiracy?
So what if people were killed?
In this world…
Who could control me?
In this universe…
Who could do anything to me?
So what if you were a god or a demon?
Under one punch…You would all be reduced to ashes!
Sean had originally been nothing more than an ordinary person.
But after suddenly gaining overwhelming power, the person who had once been bound by the constraints of the world was gradually being controlled by that very power.
And he had been completely unaware of it.
Until this moment, when it finally erupted.
He wasn’t Saitama.
He didn’t possess that innate essence of a hero.
He didn’t have a hero’s heart.
He was merely an ordinary person whose eyes had been blinded by power.
Without that power, he could only become dust.
His power was so immense.
Yet his heart was so small.
With unstoppable strength, he regarded all living beings as nothing more than ants.
Heh.
Sean mocked himself inwardly.
The sharp, unstoppable momentum surrounding Sean vanished in an instant.
The hidden arrogance in his eyes faded, replaced by a calmness as tranquil as still water.
He had never been a hero.
But now, he was no longer an ordinary person either.
Follow your heart.
Hold fast to your true self.
Once he understood this, Sean broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn’t imagine how terrifying he would become if he allowed himself to be controlled by his own power.
Simply because this world had no rules capable of restraining him.Rules restrained people’s actions.
They also restrained people’s thoughts.
Without any restraints, Sean could do whatever he wanted.
No money?
Go rob someone.
The police came to arrest him?
Kill them.
He was wanted?
So what?
He could calmly go out and buy groceries.
He wanted to become king?
Kill every person in power.
Anyone who opposed him?
Kill them.
Someone insulted him?
Kill them.
Someone hated him?
Kill them.
Never underestimate how terrifying a person without rules can be.
Once such a person develops even the slightest evil thought, it becomes like a seed planted in their heart.
And when that seed grows…
It will eventually erupt.
Take a madman, for example.
A madman might take a knife into the streets and attack anyone he sees.
He doesn’t fear the law because he isn’t bound by its rules.
He only wants to enjoy the pleasure his actions bring him.Unlike a normal person, he doesn’t fear the consequences.
Man makes rules.
Rules make man.
