Tony simply couldn't understand why this guy who was shooting lasers with his eyes never seemed to run out of energy. If they kept firing at each other like this, his energy would inevitably be the first to run out.

Hulk, who had been told off by Tony, didn't make any move, but simply ran towards Wolverine Logan once again.

Logan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth where Hulk had slapped him, grinned, and his claws reappeared in his hands. He made the same decision as Hulk.

The two men were running towards each other.

Logan plunged his adamantium claws deep into Hulk's chest, all six claws fully inserted.

Just as Logan was about to use his hands to slice Hulk's chest open, Hulk had already recovered from the pain.

A large green fist slammed into Logan's head.

Not only did he pull the pair of alloy claws out of his chest, but he also smashed the guy who had been inflicting wounds on him into the ruins of a small building.

"Roar!!!"

Hulk roared and then continued charging towards Logan.

But this time it didn't work.

A small hand pulled Hulk down into the earth.

Then the owner of that little hand reappeared on the ground; it was Phantom Cat, who had originally left the front lines.

“Logan!” Phantom Cat shouted.

"I'm fine." Logan, whose eyeball had popped out from Hulk's punch, was slowly recovering. He walked out of the completely destroyed ruins.

Where's that green guy?

“I dragged him to the ground.” Phantom Cat shrugged, a lesson she’d learned from sparring with Colossus. At least this way she could keep this guy, who relied entirely on brute force, tied up for a little while.

Just when Logan thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the ground began to tremble.

A giant green hand ripped through the ground, followed by an arm, and then Hulk's head.

"Damn it! Let's get out of here!" Logan yelled at Shadowcat.

The little guy knew that this was not something he could do, so he quickly used his ability to escape the main battlefield.

Logan had already charged at Hulk before Hulk had even completely pulled himself out of the ground.

The adamantium claws gleamed with a chilling light.

"boom!"

Sometimes, things are destined to be tough.

A hammer sent Logan flying.

Mjolnir.

"A gift from Asgard!" Thor laughed, for fighting the beast was hardly strenuous exercise for him at this point.

That's right, it was just strenuous exercise. Only during the battle with the Hulk did this warlike Asgardian prince feel a bit like he was on the battlefield.

Hulk pulled himself out of the ground without saying anything to Thor, and simply rushed towards the direction Logan was flying.

"A big guy with no manners." Thor could only mutter to himself that Hulk didn't know how to be grateful.

They then managed to fend off the beast's attack.

"You can't do it, little guy!" Grabbing the beast's blue paws, he slammed it away with force.

However, the beast not only possessed extraordinary endurance, speed, and strength, but also beast-like agility. Although its posture wasn't ideal when Thor threw it, it eventually managed to twist its body back to its original position.

"good..."

Thor was about to praise the beast's agility when he stopped.

Not just him, everyone stopped.

A figure is floating in the sky above Manhattan.

Centered on that figure, endless thunderclouds began to swirl. Even from this distance, one could almost feel the thunderous fury flashing in that figure's eyes.

"Holy shit!!" Tony's head was about to explode.

The creature floating in Midtown Manhattan was none other than Diana.

Chapter 98 Prelude to Death

“Charles, tell me this has nothing to do with you.” Emma knew perfectly well that Diana’s appearance was definitely not a whim, nor was it a chance for her to come out and have a Christmas party with everyone.

It was obvious from that appearance that someone had done something.

And it's very likely something that would be completely impossible for Diana to calm down.

The battle in Queens, New York, hasn't spread to Manhattan, so it's unlikely that those guys were behind it.

Emma didn't know many people who could cause trouble from a distance, but the guy next to her was clearly one of them. And the kind of person who could quietly cause a huge uproar.

But what good would it do the X-Men to provoke Diana now?

No, it would only cause Diana's opinion of them to plummet.

At this moment, Charles's withered hands gripped the wheelchair handles tightly, and his face, which still showed a hint of kindness, was covered in cold sweat.

He never imagined that his slight disturbance to Diana's two children would lead to such a huge incident.

Yes, the great Professor X, seeing the X-Men and Tony's group of four locked in a fierce battle, actually thought of using the two little guys in Diana's house who were suspected of being mutants.

I subtly manipulated the two children's perceptions, making them believe that the X-Men were the underdogs, yet also the righteous ones. I used the two children to interfere with Diana's actions.

It has to be said that this situation could have happened to Diana. After all, the two little ones could, in a sense, have influenced Diana's decisions.

But then the problem arises again: it's Diana.

This is why Diana, who was originally sitting at home enjoying the gossip with her children, ended up in the spotlight.

However, things went completely differently from what Charles had planned.

“Charles told me! Does it have anything to do with you?” Emma was now truly wondering why she had listened to this guy and come to this place in the first place.

Wouldn't it be better to just teach at Midtown High School?

How could Charles possibly answer Emma's question now? His brain was still throbbing, a direct consequence of being forcibly removed from his body by Diana.

Just as Emma was about to ask more questions, Nick Fury interrupted her.

"I think you should take a look at the battlefield now."

Emma then looked up at the New York battlefield, where the fighting had stopped.

Diana, accompanied by a powerful thunderbolt, slowly descended between the two groups of people.

"Tony, take them to my house and look after the two little ones. This place is mine now!" The X-Men in front of him were already ready for battle again.

"OK."

Tony didn't say anything, but readily agreed.

War Machine wanted to ask something more, but then he noticed that Tony had sent his armor a message telling him not to speak, so he stopped what he was doing.

As for Hulk and Thor, they had no such thoughts. Both of them had personally experienced Diana's beatings, so naturally they had no intention of arguing with her.

Hulk slowly shrank, turning back into Banner.

"Rhodes, take him to the Plaza Hotel." With that, Tony left the western part of Queens, which had been reduced to ruins.

Thor didn't say anything, he just swung his hammer and flew up, following Tony towards Diana's residence.

Rhodes looked at Banner in front of him and said, "I hope your pants can hold up. I don't really want to be flying through the air with a naked man in my arms."

Banner was well aware of his current attire, and could only cough awkwardly twice before letting Rod take him to Midtown Manhattan.

As Banner and Rhodes flew away, Cyclops Scott clearly didn't want the opportunity for mutants to be accepted by the public to slip away. He had just gathered his strength to fire his laser when he felt an impact to his abdomen and was sent flying backward.

As Scott flew backward, the blue-furred beast caught him. However, the impact from Cyclops Scott still propelled him backward for several dozen meters.

“I don’t think we’ve done anything to offend you.” As someone who had met Diana, Storm Ororo stepped out from the group of X-Men.

Diana is now famous throughout the United States; almost everyone knows her.

Even Logan, the Wolverine who doesn't usually pay much attention to the news, has some recollection of the woman in front of him.

But only by meeting her in person can one know just how terrifying this woman truly is.

"It's alright, someone knows what happened," Diana smiled.

But that smile sent chills down your spine.

"I've seen that smile before." As the longest-living member of the X-Men, Logan had naturally seen many things that others hadn't. For example, wasn't that the smile his brother often wore when he was killing people?

"Everyone, cheer up!"

Logan shouted loudly to keep anyone from getting distracted.

When dealing with this kind of guy, getting distracted is basically a death sentence.

“Now, your suffering will end when that guy comes over.” Diana had no intention of using her own weapons; this time, she was going to inflict them unforgettable pain.

"Shit!" Logan spat, somewhat confused about what was wrong with this woman.

The current environment doesn't really allow them to think about this issue anymore.

“Then, let’s start with…” Diana pointed lightly at each of the mutants in front of her, as if selecting ingredients, “You!”

When Diana stopped, it was just as the all-blue beast Hank returned to the group with Cyclops Scott. And she happened to point at Beast Hank.

"Oh!"

All they heard was a loud bang, and then they realized that Diana, who had been standing in front of them, had vanished.

They turned around and saw Diana in their group, tightly gripping Hank's throat.

"Hank!"

Someone shouted the beast's name, but that was all.

The next moment, the gust of wind generated by Diana's acceleration completely obscured the vision of the surrounding X-Men.

"Boom!"

The Beast was slammed against a building by Diana, who grabbed it by the neck. The impact turned the already dilapidated building into ruins.
