Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 247 Seize Hatred, at any cost!

What is a failure serum?

The Failed Serum was a failed product of Dr. Reinstein's research into the Super Soldier Serum while working under the Nazis.

In fact, this serum has already achieved all the expected functions, enabling humans to become incredibly strong, as fast as a cheetah, and extremely resilient.

The problem is that the side effects of serum are also extremely exaggerated. It can damage the immune system, cause hyperallergic reactions, and gradually kill one's own skin, blood vessels, and internal organs, causing one to rot and die little by little.

In other words, the injected humans become superhumans, but will also die quickly amidst endless suffering.

Even the fanatical Nazis did not use such a thing in a madman.

However, the Howling Commandos have encountered such enemies in some bases that are entirely controlled by Hydra.

To relieve their pain, these people were injected with large amounts of painkillers. They were like zombies with superhuman strength but no will to fight. They were all desperately pursuing death.

Steve Rogers stared blankly at the corpse on the ground for a long while before looking up and asking, "How did you know about the failed serum?"

Xia Zuo replied, "I don't know what a failure serum is. I only know they all wanted to die, so I granted their wish."

"Although none of them said it aloud, the despair in their eyes, and the feigned helplessness when they saw the gun barrels, but in reality, the hope and longing in their hearts, could not be hidden from me."

With the roar of the boosters, Iron Man descended from the sky and landed in the arena.

Jarvis's scan confirmed that Shazo had killed the soldier. He instinctively raised his hand and aimed his palm cannon at Shazo.

Before Stark could say anything, Shazo glanced at him.

The Iron Man suit encasing Stark disintegrated automatically, turning into a pile of parts that scattered all over the ground.

Tony Stark was suddenly stripped of his Iron Man suit, as if his underwear had been ripped off in public; his eyes were filled with terror and panic.

However, despite his shock and fear, he continued his reckless behavior, uttering a flippant exclamation: "Wow~~ What an amazing ability, I wonder—waaaaaah!"

Shazo had known Stark for a long time; he knew very well how nasty the guy's personality was and could guess what this sharp-tongued fellow was about to say.

But he didn't want to listen to Stark's nonsense.

If I lose control of my anger and slap him to death, that would be a huge problem.

So Shazo stretched out his right index finger and thumb and gently pinched Stark's mouth shut.

Not only were his teeth clenched together, but his upper and lower lips were also tightly closed, ensuring that Stark couldn't utter a single word.

After silencing the sharp-tongued fellow, Xia Zuo turned to Dr. Banner and said, "Dr. Banner, it's time for you to make a choice."

He pointed at Captain America and said, "Follow Captain Rogers. He will take you to join S.H.I.E.L.D. Although you will inevitably be studied, no one will want to dissect you or kill you anymore."

He then pointed to the mute Stark and said, "Go with Tony Stark; he'll probably recruit you to work for Stark Industries."

"With Stark's protection, you can avoid being studied."

"Of course, I believe you'll figure it out yourself. After all, given your current situation, if you accidentally switch into the Hulk while kissing your girlfriend, you might end up with her meat sauce."

"If you have a girlfriend but can't show her off, then it's not just your skin that's green."

He then pointed to himself: "Coming with me is also an option."

"I will recommend you to my friend Rockefeller. All I can guarantee is that he won't do anything to you."

In the end, Dr. Banner chose Stark, making the guy laugh triumphantly.

Seeing that Dr. Banner had made his choice, Shazo didn't linger any longer. He jumped up and flew away like a shooting star.

After Shazo left, Stark opened his mouth, panting heavily, and mumbled a complaint: "That bastard, he actually gagged me."

"My jaw hurts so much, wait, and I also feel a tingling sensation, it's like I'm being controlled by electromagnetic force."

"Wow, it turns out he's not only good at controlling plants, but also at controlling electromagnetic forces."

"Tsk tsk, being able to control bones with almost no metallic properties, this guy's use of electromagnetic force is quite good, but it's far inferior to mine."

"If I had that kind of power, I could change the world completely!"

Steve, his head throbbing from his nagging, finally snapped, "Shut up! You only dare to spout nonsense now that he's gone. Why don't you say these things in front of him?"

Stark snapped, "Do you think I don't want to say it in front of him?"

"I couldn't say anything; he forced me to shut up!"

Steve noticed that Stark's emotions were a bit off; his overly excited behavior suggested that he wanted to talk to Shazo face to face.

The captain asked, "You knew Xia Zuo before?"

Stark nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes, he was the one who removed the shrapnel from my veins."

"At that time, his electromagnetic ability was very weak, and he could only control some small metals. I never expected that he would become so powerful now that he can even control non-metallic substances."

Steve thought for a moment, then asked, "So, he also saved your life?"

Stark coughed, taking it as an admission.

Steve suddenly realized, "I see. So he knew you all along. Why would he stop you from speaking? You deserve it."

Dr. Banner suddenly felt uneasy, and he began to doubt whether he had made the wrong choice.

Although Mr. Stark seems to be fine now, Shazor stopped him from speaking without hesitation. Captain Rogers said that he deserved to be gagged. Could there really be something wrong with him?

Xia Zuo flew very fast and returned to his villa on Long Island in just over ten minutes.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw Skye.

The girl suddenly became even more beautiful, and her vigorous vitality made her look charming; even her cleavage became more impressive.

In such a short period of time, Skye's body underwent such drastic changes, yet the foundation of her life remained unaffected.

This is simply a miracle.

His potential is comparable to that of the Namekian Grand Elder.

Xia Zuo guessed, "Skye, did your physical changes happen after you heard the bell?"

Skye nodded: "Yes, I was terrified at the time, but thankfully nothing went wrong."

Xia Zuo shook his head and sighed, "I never expected you could get such a big benefit from Hulk. You've really struck gold this time."

""

The girl gritted her teeth: "Boss, is there really nothing wrong with my body?"

Xia Duo carefully checked again and replied, "It seems there are no problems at the moment, but I will closely monitor your health for the next period of time."

Xia Zuo thought it over and over, but still felt it wasn't safe.

So he called Steven and got a full medical team from the Rockefeller family.

For the next three months, the entire medical team will stay at his villa, checking Skye's condition twice a day to ensure that no abnormalities in the girl are missed.

Between keeping Skye's superhuman physical abilities a secret and ensuring her health, Shazo chose the latter.

Xia Zuo believed that he now possessed enough deterrent power that even if Skye's true identity as an Inhuman was exposed, no one would dare to make a move against her.

With the cooperation of the medical team and the availability of detailed and precise examination data, Xia Zuo was able to better understand Skye's physical condition.

What changes occurred in her body, why did these changes occur, and why she could remain healthy despite such significant changes—these are all questions Xia Zuo needs to investigate.

We're in for a lot of work from now on.

While Shazo was busy examining Skye, S.H.I.E.L.D. was in complete chaos.

Nick Fury is absolutely swamped.

None of Shazo, Stark, or Rogers mentioned the fact that there was an Abomination lying in the ruins when they left.

As a result, S.H.I.E.L.D., General Ross, the U.S. federal government, financial groups, and various secret organizations could no longer sit still, and they began a fierce struggle over Abomination.

Although Hulk is incredibly powerful, he clearly lacks intelligence, is unable to communicate effectively, and shows no signs of becoming a controllable force.

Everyone knows that General Ross has been chasing the Hulk for so long, but besides huge losses, he hasn't gotten anything of value.

Compared to Hulk, Abomination's situation is much better.

Although Abomination appears ferocious and terrifying, his actions are methodical and planned, and he demonstrates well-trained fighting skills and excellent tactical awareness in combat.

It is clear that hatred is not a beast; he has successfully preserved his wisdom.

At this point, information about Hatred had been presented to the leaders of various organizations.

They knew that the abomination's real name was Bronsky, and that he was an older elite warrior.

As he aged, Bronsky inevitably experienced physical exhaustion and a decline in combat ability.

He can no longer even maintain the original intensity of his training.

As a warrior, Blonsky refused to admit defeat or grow old, and naturally began to crave and seek greater power, hoping to return to his original peak condition.

As a result, Bronsky embarked on the path of drug abuse.

After being injected with a small amount of super soldier serum, he felt invincible and exhibited physical abilities far superior to those of his younger days.

But the effects of those drugs are temporary, while the damage is lasting.

Bronsky's physical condition, after a brief boost during the course of medication, declined even more rapidly.

This caused him great distress and made him feel depressed.

It wasn't until General Ross assigned him the task of arresting the Hulk that he witnessed what true power looked like.

The Hulk's power is on a completely different level. In front of the Hulk, even though he has been injected with the Super Soldier Serum, he is weak and no different from an ordinary person.

Bronsky used every skill and tactic at his disposal, firing hundreds of shots at the Hulk, and even standing on the Hulk's body to continue firing.

But his efforts were utterly laughable in the face of absolute power.

Hulk endured hundreds of attacks from him, but he only needed one kick to shatter Bronsky's bones and destroy his dream of pursuing great power.

While lying in the hospital, Bronsky heard people laughing at him. The irreconcilable gap and the desperate situation destroyed Bronsky's past pride, making him feel like a clown.

What shattered his pride was the Hulk, but he also saw unprecedented power in the Hulk.

So he began to actively investigate the Hulk, searching for a way to obtain the Hulk's power.

In his pursuit of power and to prove himself, Bronsky secretly injected himself with a blood sample taken from the Hulk's body.

That was blood extracted after Dr. Banner was fully transformed into the Hulk, with a needle inserted into his body.

The Hulk's green blood was injected into Bronsky's veins, causing his body to mutate.

His hair fell out, his body swelled, and his bones grew so thick that bone spurs pierced his skin, but he also gained the power he desired.

The extraordinary power fueled Bronsky's ambition and catalyzed the evil thoughts suppressed by his military pride. Thus, a hatred of the greedy pursuit of power was born.

Unlike the Hulk, Bronsky has completely transformed into a loathing, unable to revert to a human body, but able to maintain his normal sanity.

In the eyes of a secret service leader like Nick Fury, the value of hatred has surpassed that of the Hulk.

This is a super power that can be replicated, widely promoted, and communicated, controlled, and commanded.

As long as one doesn't find their inhuman appearance repulsive, isn't this exactly the kind of super soldier the US military has been pursuing?

Even though Abomination was completely defeated by Hulk, it did not change the fact that the leaders of various factions wanted to obtain Abomination.

General Ross roared, "We hate that he's our soldier, and the Hulk blood he's injected with is our property!"

He gave his special forces the order: "Bring back the Abomination, at all costs!"

Nick Fury picked up the phone and issued orders to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents: "Bring that shit-yellow Abomination back, at all costs!"

John Garrett gave the Hydra special forces team the order: "Take the Abomination, at all costs!"

Not only the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., but also the Department of Defense and major financial groups have set their sights on the Abomination, dispatching their armed forces to flood into the Wall Street jungle at top speed.

Within minutes, hundreds of parachutes appeared in the sky above Wall Street, and fierce fighting began in the air and continued all the way into the forest.

However, they were dumbfounded as soon as they entered the forest.

This man-made primeval forest is filled with the violent electromagnetic force left by Xia Zuo, and all wireless communication signals have been cut off.

Moreover, the trees here are as tall as North American redwoods, and their branches and leaves are exceptionally dense, with the light in the forest floor as dim as night.

Moreover, the forest was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.
