Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

A fierce battle is raging inside the town's largest two-story supermarket.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The supermarket was packed with people, including adults, children, and the elderly.

They were crammed into a makeshift shelter inside the supermarket. The husband held his wife tightly, while the wife covered their child's eyes and ears, her face filled with fear.

All eyes were fixed nervously on the supermarket entrance.

In front of the supermarket, inside a makeshift defensive structure, several men of different professions, armed with weapons, repeatedly pulled the triggers, the flashes of gunfire reflecting on their tense and angry faces.

"John, I'm out of bullets! Quick, take my place, I'm going to change the magazine!"

"Don't let that thing near the gate!"

"Activate the pre-set trap!"

The shouts and shouts made the supermarket entrance look like a battlefield.

Indeed, that was the case. Hundreds of fully armed men formed a defensive line, and hundreds of guns faced only one opponent at that moment.

On the road ahead, a dense hail of bullets rained down like a storm, but they were facing only one person.

A stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair and a captivating aura.

Yet this alluring woman, capable of captivating any man, wore a smile as she let bullets rain down on her.

Her seemingly delicate and fair skin was as hard as steel; bullets hitting her skin would either shatter it instantly, sending sparks flying.

Either they were simply bounced off, leaving bullet holes in the ground and vehicles in all directions.

She walked at a leisurely pace, braving the intense barrage of fire, and gradually approached the supermarket entrance.

Those beautiful, alluring eyes were filled with a chilling greed; in a daze, one could almost see endless ghosts wailing and howling within them.

The distance was getting closer and closer: fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters.

The traps that had been set up earlier were of no use to her.

The flames burned her body, but only partially destroyed her clothes.

The trap clamped onto her ankle, but it had no effect.

The sharp metal pipes launched by the catapult pierced her body, but only slowed her pace slightly.

The explosive impacts from triggered grenades and landmines posed no threat to her either.

She was like a devil, an invulnerable devil, wantonly toying with the "food" in front of her.

She wanted to keep these foods in fear every day, because a body and soul nourished by fear was the most delicious thing in the world to her.

She did achieve her goal.

When people saw this beautiful yet bloodthirsty devil advancing step by step, braving their bullets with such a radiant smile on her face, the stark contrast and her terrifying power plunged everyone into despair.

Every step Jennifer took forward was like the tolling of a death knell.

Fear and despair permeated everyone's heart.

Many people's faces contorted with extreme fear, and their morale plummeted.

Inside the supermarket entrance, a seemingly inconspicuous young girl hid behind the men, peering through the gaps in the crowd at Jennifer, who was being approached by bullets. A pained expression appeared on her face, which was covered in acne.

"Jennifer..."

Nydy had absolutely no idea why things had turned out this way.

Her once close friend has now turned into a cannibalistic monster.

Her heart was filled with pain and torment.

She was heartbroken that her best friend had turned out this way, and she was also heartbroken that everyone she had ever known and met in the small town where she grew up had been eaten by Jennifer.

The pain and torment almost drove her insane.

"God, please have mercy and destroy this devil."

Nydy could only pray to God in her heart.

She wasn't a devout believer, but at this moment she was powerless and could only place her hopes on the ethereal God who would descend to earth and save the town.

She knew that the possibility was too slim, but what else could she do?

Are we supposed to pray to that damned devil for mercy?

Just when everyone was becoming increasingly desperate, Jennifer suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her beautiful smile instantly turned cold.

She slightly raised her head, her pupils suddenly contracting, reflecting a foot that shimmered with dazzling golden light, which was constantly enlarging.

boom!!

With an immense force, the kick struck Jennifer squarely in the face.

This body, which could withstand even concentrated firepower and advance, was now flying backward like a cannonball.

Rumble!!

Trailing a long golden tail of flame, Jennifer was kicked away for an unknown number of meters, smashing countless buildings and trees along the way, and kicking up clouds of dust and debris in a straight line, causing the earth to tremble.

The sudden turn of events left everyone who witnessed the scene speechless, and many people instinctively relaxed their fingers that were about to pull the trigger.

Only a few bullets were still being fired, but when they hit the man, they passed straight through as if they were hitting thin air.

"Th-what is that?"

A police officer in uniform stared in disbelief at the tall, upright figure standing before him.

The man was wearing a black coat and jeans, with white sneakers on his feet. His coat and stray hairs swayed gently in the swirling wind.

What did he see?

This person, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, actually kicked that damned devil away. Judging from the commotion the devil made after being sent flying, could such power be possessed by a human?

Is he an angel who destroys demons? Or a god?

In that instant, everyone fell silent, and all eyes were focused on that person.

The man slowly turned his head, revealing a young and handsome face with black hair, exuding a unique aura.

It's hard to explain, but it always gives people a sense of security and a kind of unspoken domineering aura.

The person who arrived was Matthew.

"Human beings' greatest characteristic is indeed their tendency to stick together."

Matthew glanced at the dumbfounded, horrified people behind him, then looked at the large supermarket that had been transformed into something that could almost be called a military building.

With his Observation Haki fully deployed, he could clearly sense the dense life force within it and easily capture the various chaotic emotions in people's hearts.

The most prevalent of these is fear.

Fear is highly contagious, and people often do irrational things when they are afraid, such as becoming despondent or going crazy.

When faced with external threats, humans will inevitably band together for mutual support; this stems from their genes and innate instincts.
