Bab 119: Perception
They are celebrating the elimination of another monster.
They are celebrating what they perceive as justice triumphing once again.
They are celebrating the return of peace to this city, which has been plagued by numerous disasters.
Only Zane silently mourns the passing of Hulk.
Actually, Zane's perception is quite strange; in his eyes, neither justice nor evil matters.
Zane believes that the concepts of justice and evil are merely constructs imposed by society.
What benefits the majority is considered justice, and what harms the majority is considered evil.
Justice always prevails? Of course, because only the victor is deemed just!
The defeated naturally fall into the realm of evil...
The only ones Zane can appreciate are those who are pure.
Whether they are superheroes, supervillains, or just ordinary people.
For example, Hulk, who yearns for peace of mind but cannot attain it.
Tony Stark, whose heart is as strong as steel after enduring hardships.
Peter Parker, who bears greater responsibility with greater power.
Erik Lehnsherr, who seeks supremacy for mutants.
Charles Francis Xavier, who advocates for harmony between two species.
Thanos, who believes in universal balance.
And so on...
These individuals, despite their differing beliefs, genders, strengths, and even races, all have their own convictions and are willing to pay prices beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Like Hulk, who, despite being seen as a monster of rage desired for peace of mind, expressed gratitude to Zane before his death, harboring no resentment, only pure gratitude.
Sometimes what is depicted in movies may not be true or false.
For example, Hulk is not as intellectually impaired as imagined; he possesses all of Banner's intelligence but is influenced by endless rage, making him appear as if he were mentally impaired.
Another example is how official organizations in movies always come in last to cover up; this is exactly like reality.
That's how S.H.I.E.L.D. is now; after Zane kills Hulk, S.H.I.E.L.D., which had not been involved in the conflict until then, suddenly changes its stance completely after confirming safety.
From being silent, they become incredibly active, imprisoning and taking away Banner, who is still unconscious, while sending all injured superhumans away in ambulances.
These superhumans are like big shots to S.H.I.E.L.D., and the death of any one of them could spark chaos.
But as long as S.H.I.E.L.D. can gain the favor of a few of them, Nick Fury's Avengers Initiative can take a leap forward.
Zane can clearly see the smile in Nick Fury's eyes as he sits on the throne.
"Mr. Zane, this time, th..."
Just as Nick Fury was about to approach Zane to talk, Zane couldn't be bothered to even acknowledge him.
After storing the magnificent throne made of vibranium in the treasury, he teleported home with Lorna directly in his arms.
Before leaving, Lorna turned back to give a deep look at Magneto being loaded onto the ambulance.
Seeing Zane leave, Tony, feeling bored, activated the flight function of his armor and flew away directly, leaving Black Widow alone in the wind, feeling disheveled.
After Zane and Tony ignored him and left directly, the shameless Nick Fury didn't feel embarrassed either.
Turning around, he went to take care of the patients.
Of course, compared to other big shots with their own forces, what Nick Fury cares about most is our lone hero, little Spider-Man, Peter Parker.
Among the people left behind, only Peter might join S.H.I.E.L.D. and participate in his Avengers Initiative.
Originally, Nick Fury did investigate Spider-Man.
With Peter's clumsy attempts at disguise, any organization with a bit of strength could dig up everything about him.
But the reason Nick Fury only contacted Peter now was simply because he was intimidated by Zane.
You see, Peter Parker was Zane's classmate, and according to investigations, their relationship was not bad. Later, Peter even joined Zane's Skynet Technology.
Who knows, if Peter were pulled into S.H.I.E.L.D., would Zane angrily come knocking on their door and dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D.?
And now, Nick Fury sees that Zane seems to not care about Peter's fate at all, so he cautiously starts to think about Peter again.
Meanwhile, as Zane and Lorna returned home, major media outlets across the United States were racing to report on the recent battle.
Most of the headlines were focused on Zane.
Zane's original identity was already eye-catching enough; now, with his extraordinary prowess displayed in the battle against the green behemoth, the combination of these two factors created a tremendous chemical reaction.
In just a few hours, Zane became a bona fide celebrity.
Although Zane's original identity was dazzling enough.
As a billionaire at only 21 years old, he not only has no negative news but also maintains an extremely devoted love life.
Once considered the most popular businessman in the world, he became the dream man of countless girls.
Now, with Zane's extraordinary performance on the battlefield, it has caused everyone to erupt in excitement. There were countless couples who had quarrels today because of Zane.
After watching the video of Zane battling the Hulk, and then looking at their boyfriends lying in bed playing games, many women all had the same thought: why did I choose him back then!
It's not an exaggeration to say that at this moment, Zane has become the nation's sweetheart.
And Lorna has become the envy and jealousy of all the young girls, but most women still don't care.
Having a relationship, so what? They're not married, and even if they were, so what? It's not like they can't have extramarital affairs.
You have to know, this is America, where openness is the norm. When encountering an outstanding man like Zane, who is handsome, wealthy, and a superhero (as acknowledged by others), which woman can control her desires?
In an instant, Zane gained tens of millions of fans, and even Hollywood female stars rushed to repost Zane's videos, many of whom were already married.
And they unabashedly expressed in the public media that they wouldn't mind spending an unforgettable night with Zane.
They might not mind, but Zane minds!
Even the stock price of Skynet Technology rose by 6 percentage points, making Zane's net worth increase by billions out of thin air.
As for the other participants in the battle, it's a bit tragic; Professor X and the others are fine, at least they've earned a good reputation, easing tensions between mutants and humans to some extent.
But Mystique, on Magneto's side, was scolded mercilessly by angry keyboard warriors.
If it hadn't been for her pretending to be Banner's girlfriend being exposed, that green fatty might have been subdued long ago.
And who knows which internet user, enjoying the spectacle, made a contribution ranking:
At the top, naturally, is the godlike Zane.
