Bab 50: Chapter 49: The First Big Battle of New York: Thunder Mastery
A faint smile appeared on Cohen's face. This was the moment he had been waiting for! He immediately activated it.
[Congratulations! You have received a reward: Ability Upgrade Card, Bloodline Fusion Card].
Without hesitation, he used the Ability Upgrade Card.
With a thought, he erupted with power!
Like a fierce tiger, he leaped into the air to meet the Black Wolf Spider!
As they rapidly approached each other, Cohen could even see the ferocious gleam in the opponent's eyes.
The Black Wolf Spider sneered, seemingly mocking Cohen's audacity.
But Cohen was doing the same.
Just as they were about to collide, a dazzling white light exploded in front of the Black Wolf Spider, and in an instant, his vision turned completely white! Suddenly losing his sight, he panicked slightly. The next moment, he felt the air compress around him, followed by a powerful punch to his face! Meanwhile, all of his attacks missed.
As intense pain surged through his face, his body was hurled backward by the force, crashing heavily to the ground!
Fortunately, his physique was strong enough that in a short time, his vision began to recover. Amidst the blurriness, he saw several silver serpents flying toward him.
The next moment, extreme pain and numbness engulfed his entire body!
His skin began to crack, blood gushing out instantly, and his bones creaked as if they would snap at any moment.
Only then did he realize that what he saw earlier weren't silver serpents but powerful lightning bolts! Seeing his enemy preparing to strike again, a strong survival instinct surged within him. With a mighty push against the ground, his body leapt into the air.
The muscles in his thighs contracted with unprecedented force, and the impact left a small crater on the ground.
He shot into the crowd of red-clad ninjas like an arrow.
In the next second, Cohen's lightning attack struck as expected.
Dozens of bolts of lightning chased after the Black Wolf Spider, hitting the ninja crowd. In an instant, hundreds of ninjas were reduced to ashes! Everyone present was left in stunned silence! The entire exchange lasted only a few seconds, but it shook everyone to their core.
Nick Fury swallowed nervously. Damn it, that guy with the wolf spider tattoo had already blown his mind, but Iron Man was even more shocking.
What the hell? If you had this kind of power, why didn't you show it earlier? I wouldn't have tried to arrest you! I'd be worshipping you instead! Regret. I'm so full of regret. This guy is a freaking legend!
Wade, Blade, and Black Widow stood together. They had planned to stop the Black Wolf Spider but failed.
Watching the silver lightning not far away, Wade's eyes widened. "My God, he's literally the Thunder God from legend!"
Blade's eyes were also wide open. "Damn, if you had this power, why didn't you use it against Frost? Were you waiting for me to get beaten up more?"
As for the others, they were all equally dumbfounded.
At a time when superheroes hadn't yet fully emerged into the public eye, Cohen brought them a small glimpse of supernatural power.
Meanwhile, Cohen looked at the ashes of the hundreds of ninjas before him, but he wasn't overly excited.
Because he could see clearly that the Black Wolf Spider wasn't dead.
The guy was clever. After diving into the crowd, the power of the lightning had been dispersed. While it killed hundreds of ninjas, the damage to him was minimal.
At that moment, amidst the sea of ashes, the Black Wolf Spider stood quietly in front of the building.
He pulled out a black potion from somewhere and drank it in one gulp.
Instantly, the wolf spider tattoo on his chest glowed brightly, and its legs twitched as if it had come back to life.
His injuries healed rapidly, and his aura grew stronger.
Stronger than before he was injured! Cohen's expression turned serious.
Just now, without hesitation, he upgraded his [Electrokinesis], which had now evolved into [Thunder Mastery].
His ability to store and release lightning had greatly improved.
Previously, with his [Electrokinesis], he could unleash hundreds of lightning attacks. But now, with full power, he could only release three or four powerful strikes like the one that just wiped out hundreds of bronze-level targets.
Seeing the eagerness in the Black Wolf Spider's eyes, Cohen wasted no time and unleashed another attack. Dozens of lightning bolts swiftly cut through the night sky, ferociously targeting his enemy! This time, the Black Wolf Spider didn't even try to dodge! Under the barrage of lightning, he howled to the sky but stubbornly endured!
The black wolf spider tattoo on his chest filled with blood, turning dark red. His eyes gleamed with a savage, inhuman light.
"Iron Man, you're dead!"
Cohen didn't panic. He stared at him for a moment before coldly smiling, raising his hand, and beckoning with his finger. "If you've got the guts, come at me!"
The Black Wolf Spider grinned, revealing sharp teeth. "Hehe, then here I come!"
With that, he jumped, leaping six or seven stories high, like an eagle swooping down, arms spread wide, diving at Cohen.
The sight left everyone in shock.
Wade held his head in his hands. "This isn't fair! He took steroids!"
Fury clenched his fists. Screw the New York defense forces. Fighter jets! Bomb him to pieces!
But Cohen didn't even look at the Black Wolf Spider. Instead, he focused on the ground.
He crouched down and punched the ground, shattering it. Reaching into a hole, he grabbed something thick and yanked it up.
A black high-voltage cable, as thick as an arm, was pulled out from the ground.
Baring his fangs, he bit down and tore it open, the tough insulation instantly ripping apart, revealing the gleaming copper wires.
Only then did he look up at the Black Wolf Spider in mid-air.
His [Thunder Mastery] had enough power for only three or four full strikes.
But on the other hand, his immunity to electrical attacks had also evolved. Now, he could directly absorb electrical energy to replenish his power! The moment his hand touched the high-voltage cable, the lights on several nearby streets flickered.
A massive surge of electricity flowed in!
His entire body began to glow with silver-white light, his clothes disintegrating into ashes in an instant, while countless tiny arcs of electricity danced around him.
Feeling the pain of power overload, he grinned. "Let me tell you a secret: I'm planning to pass the name 'Iron Man' to someone else.
Next time, call me the Thunder God!"
With those words, endless thunder erupted, and silver-white light blinded everyone.
Half of the city's lights went out in an instant, leaving only the dazzling light here to illuminate half the sky! The Black Wolf Spider, fueled by the potion, was strong. The wolf spider tattoo on his chest bared its fangs at Cohen, roaring.
But despite his power, he lasted only a few seconds under the thunderstorm before his body began to smoke and his skin charred.
Cohen still had energy to spare.
He pointed toward the building's lobby, and a silver dragon composed of hundreds of lightning bolts roared out, turning the red-clad ninjas to ash along the way! The dragon surged through the stairs, into the basement, and straight into the resurrection altar! In an instant, the already fragile altar shattered with a flash of light.
On the plaza, the violent thunderstorm unleashed its immense power.
Finally, with a deafening explosion, the lightning burst into a brilliant white light that filled the sky above the plaza...
Everyone present was blinded by the light.
When their vision returned, the plaza lay in ruins, empty.
No more red-clad ninjas, no more Black Wolf Spider, and no more...
Iron Man!

Bab 51: Chapter 50: The First Battle of New York: Daredevil Unleashed
"F*ck!"
Wade shouted and rushed forward, Blade following closely behind. Seeing this, the others quickly caught up as well.
When they reached the center of the square, the ground was covered in ash, but not a single figure was in sight.
Wade searched around, his expression blank. "Are they both dead? I can't even find a single bone shard!"
He scooped up a handful of ash and examined it closely. "Did they turn to dust?"
Thinking for a moment, he stuffed some of the ash into his pocket, muttering, "Oh, my friend, you were a true hero."
Blade's face also darkened, but he felt something was off. How could that guy die so easily?
Nick Fury, watching the scene from the monitors, jumped out of his chair.
Damn it, f*ck! Black Spider, you son of a... you did it... perfectly!
He calmed his excitement, putting on a grave expression.
"Everyone, even though we've lost Iron Man, for the safety of New York's citizens, we must continue the mission. Rest assured, I promise, in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., we'll give him a proper burial! Now, you need to enter the building, capture the members of The Hand, and end this disaster once and for all!"
The group in the square exchanged glances until Black Widow spoke up, "He's right. The enemy hasn't been fully eliminated yet."
Wade snorted, "Let me tell you, I'm not doing this for the people. Iron Man wasn't exactly a saint, but he was my friend. I'm going for revenge!"
With that, Wade stormed into the building in a rage, Blade silently following close behind.
In the distance, Wesley's eyes were slightly red. "Fox, should we go in too?"
"No, we stay here."
"But..."
"That's an order!"
Fox lay prone on the rooftop, observing everything happening in the square through her sniper rifle's scope, her expression cold.
The moment Wade stepped into the lobby, a shadow flashed, and the next thing he knew, a size 58 boot slammed into his size 48 face.
"F*ck—" he yelled, flying backward.
The others immediately stopped in their tracks.
Standing before them was a figure dressed in a red suit, shrouded in black smoke, his eyes pitch black, his face marked with black lines, looking like a demon.
Hawkeye Barton, having worked in Hell's Kitchen before, recognized this figure. But recognizing him made him gasp in shock, "D-Daredevil?"
Blade was equally startled. How had Daredevil turned into this monster?
Wade, after hitting the ground, angrily charged forward. "I don't care if you're Daredevil or a real devil! You look terrifying, so get lost!"
He swung his two long swords and lunged at the figure. "Thunk!" The twin blades pierced straight through Daredevil's chest.
The group was shocked by how easily this happened. Only Wade sensed something wrong.
When he tried to pull the blades out, no matter how hard he pulled, they wouldn't budge.
Daredevil, with Wade's swords impaled in his chest, didn't make a sound. He tilted his head, glaring at Wade with his black eyes.
Wade was bewildered. "Huh? I've never encountered this before!"
In the next instant, he was kicked away again.
The two long swords were still embedded in the demonized Daredevil's chest. Within a few breaths, the portion of the swords inside his body corroded as if by a strong acid.
"Clang!" They broke in half and fell to the ground.
Gasp! Everyone took a sharp breath!
Seeing this, even Nick Fury started feeling dizzy.
A thought suddenly crossed his mind: Iron Man, where are you? Please come back!
...
Cohen hadn't turned to ash.
A few minutes earlier, during the lightning explosion that blinded everyone's vision, he had carried the unconscious Black Spider into the sewers.
There happened to be a manhole cover in the center of the square.
After entering, he dragged Black Spider down a narrow passage until he reached a slightly wider area.
Nine Spiders and David were already waiting for him there.
They had prepared a tall metal thermal cylinder, over a meter high, next to a pile of liquid nitrogen tanks.
This was something Cohen had specifically asked them to prepare to provide his most worthy prey, the Black Spider, with a new experience of death.
Minus 196 degrees Celsius.
A crisp freeze.
As a gold-level target, Black Spider clearly deserved such a unique method.
After stripping David of his shirt and pants, and despite David's resentful look, they securely tied up Black Spider and woke him with an electric shock.
Nine Spiders moved forward and injected Black Spider with a cocktail of toxins.
Some caused pain, some made him itch, some induced excitement, and others brought on hallucinations.
All of them were meant to tease his emotions, pushing him to his emotional limits.
Under the combined effect of the toxins, Black Spider's will finally broke, and he began to descend into madness.
Once he reached a certain point, Cohen shoved him into the liquid nitrogen-filled metal cylinder and screwed the lid shut.
Then he turned to Nine Spiders. "Let's go. It's time to meet the mastermind behind this summoning ritual, Alexandra."
David tried to stop them, "Uh... boss, things aren't going too well up there."
Cohen frowned, "What?"
David looked at his handheld monitor. The team led by Black Widow, Blade, and Barton was currently being beaten badly.
"The demonized Daredevil is incredibly powerful. The team upstairs can't hold on much longer!"
Cohen waved dismissively, "Don't worry, there are real heroes up there. They'll manage. Oh, and make sure Fox and the others take care of Wade and Blade."
David shrugged and said no more.
Cohen and Nine Spiders walked a few dozen meters deeper into the sewer when Nine Spiders stopped and pointed ahead. "I measured this area over the past few days. There's only a wall separating this spot from the second basement level of the financial building."
Cohen nodded and punched the wall a few times, causing it to collapse.
On the other side was indeed the second basement level of the financial building, where the summoning ritual had just taken place.
The altar remained, but the place was now empty.
The two paid no attention to the surroundings and walked straight ahead.
Nine Spiders carried some instruments, appearing to measure something.
Before long, after confirming the location, Cohen threw a few more punches, and an elevator shaft appeared before them.
Below, a pitch-black tunnel awaited.
But Cohen knew this was the direct path to the burial site of the Manhattan Dragon Bones.
Ever since he heard that The Hand's Five Fingers were planning to summon a demon, he'd been puzzled.
Sure, he had killed two of the Five Fingers, but was the remaining trio really so loyal that they sought revenge for their fallen comrades?
No way. Those old schemers weren't that noble!
Their painstaking effort to summon a demon had to have another purpose.
When he learned that the summoning ritual was taking place beneath the Midtown Financial District building, it suddenly all made sense.
The Five Fingers' real target had always been the Dragon Bones!
The demon summoning was just a ruse to distract and block their enemies!
The Five Fingers had been plotting, but so had Cohen.
The difference this time? He was the orlio behind, waiting in the wings!
