#477 - Riots in New York

Yang Le, playing a mutant on the floating island, was dedicated, and the other Yang Le, investigating the disappearance of superhumans, wasn't slacking either.

He watched Maximus of the Inhumans harm his own people and witnessed the debut of Lash, who should have been a new Inhuman. He also learned of Maximus's secret schemes.

Of course, Yang Le didn't know the specifics. Maximus only mentioned it briefly. He wouldn't be like super-hero cartoons, afraid that kids wouldn't understand, and reiterate his entire scheme from beginning to end.

This is reality. Maximus would only let his subordinates know what they needed to know. He didn't need to explain his plans to them; they just needed to execute them.

Yang Le guessed that even if he followed Maximus all the time, he probably wouldn't get any useful information from him. This guy was the type to take secrets to his grave and wouldn't let anything slip.

Therefore, Yang Le decided to give up tracking Maximus. Actually, he originally had the idea of telling Black Bolt about Maximus's conspiracy, but this idea was immediately rejected by himself.

The simplest reason was that Black Bolt had no reason to believe an outsider over his own brother. Although there have been many kings in history who were suspicious and killed loyal subjects based on rumors.

But Black Bolt wasn't that kind of person. If he had a little bit of vigilance against Maximus, he wouldn't have had so much stolen from his home.

Watching the Inhuman aircraft fly further and further away, Yang Le could only comfort himself that today wasn't a complete loss. Just as he was lost in thought, the communicator on his Omnitrix rang.

Yang Le didn't even need to guess who was calling; it could only be Gwen. In this Earth-527 universe, Yang Le only had one friend, Kitty. Those mutants all interacted with him as Swampfire and had nothing to do with Yang Le himself.

Answering the call, Yang Le asked, "What's up, Gwen? Did you find something new?"

"No, but I need your help here." Gwen's breathing was a little unstable, and there were occasional explosions or loud noises in the communication channel.

"New York, right? I'll be there soon."

Yang Le only confirmed the location with Gwen. After receiving an affirmative response, Four Arms once again used his phase teleportation ability.

The scene in front of him changed. In the blink of an eye, Yang Le returned to New York, but as soon as he landed, he was stunned. The place where he landed was Manhattan, but it was no longer the bustling place it once was.

Buildings were collapsing, houses were falling apart, and cars were overturned and exploding. Almost none of them had all four wheels on the ground. Everywhere were panicked crowds, and several people, in their panic, bumped into Yang Le.

Those passers-by, after seeing Yang Le's appearance, screamed again and ran away on all fours. Before Yang Le could understand what was going on, he saw a car hurtling toward the crowd not far away.

Without hesitation, the armored action module definitely couldn't keep up with the flying speed of that car, which was about to reach its target. Yang Le used the power that didn't originally belong to this universe for the first time.

Blue electricity surged from his body, and in the next instant, Yang Le appeared on the car's inevitable path.

"Tsing!"

The treasured sword was drawn, but before the cold light of the blade could be seen, the sword had already been sheathed again. The next second, a gale arose, and the car was instantly reduced to zero.

"What a fast sword!" A dumbfounded passerby couldn't help but mutter.

Of course, it was fast. Yang Le was using the Speed Force from the DC universe. Because he had an alternate version of himself in the DC universe, DC Yang Le could continuously transmit the Speed Force belonging to that universe to Marvel Yang Le through the Omnitrix.

Moreover, the Speed Force was a very inclusive power. No matter what alien hero Yang Le transformed into, he could use this power. He could even use it in his human form, but the most suitable were still those speed-type alien heroes.

However, although other alien heroes weren't as well-suited to using the Speed Force, Yang Le wasn't picky as long as he could use it. After all, the Speed Force could make up for the speed shortcomings of some alien heroes. It could be said to be like adding wings to a tiger.

For example, Four Arms at the moment. What was enhanced wasn't just his speed; the speed of his sword swings was also accelerated. That's why Yang Le could cut a car into countless small pieces in the blink of an eye, just like Raiden in Metal Gear Solid.

Letting the metal fragments hit him, Yang Le also discovered the person who launched the attack. It was a giant about three meters tall with yellowish-green skin. At this time, he was glaring at Yang Le with blood-red eyes and roaring, looking dissatisfied that Yang Le had blocked his attack.

'Hulk? Doesn't look like it? This color can't be Red Hulk either.' Yang Le didn't have a definite conclusion. Seeing the other party throw another car, he decided to deal with the enemy in front of him before drawing a conclusion.

Once again drawing his energy sword, Yang Le lightly tapped the ground with his toes. The next second, he directly appeared behind the car that was thrown over, using the car under his feet as a fulcrum to exert force. Before the car he had slashed several times fell apart, he rushed in front of the figure who looked like Hulk.

Although he didn't know who the giant in front of him was, his strength was indeed extraordinary. He could barely keep up with Yang Le who was using the Speed Force. Just as Yang Le rushed in front of him, the giant had already raised his fist and swung it at the charging Yang Le.

Four Arms's race was known for being fragile. If this punch hit him, it would be a serious injury at the very least. But Yang Le didn't dodge, and he rushed towards the fist that was bigger than his head.

A flash of sword light caused the giant to temporarily lose his sight. When he regained his vision, Yang Le had disappeared. Suddenly, he sensed a gust of cold wind coming from below him. Although he had lost his mind, his intuition was indeed top-notch.

Looking down, he indeed saw Four Arms who had already prepared his stance. Without hesitation, the giant, seeing his target, once again swung his right fist. This time, Yang Le still didn't dodge, maintaining the posture of drawing his sword.

The fist finally landed on Yang Le, but what surprised the giant, who didn't have much intelligence, was that his hand began to deform.

No, not deform. It would be more accurate to say that it bloomed. The moment his hand touched Yang Le, it bloomed like a flower, but it was a flower of flesh and blood using his hand as raw material.

His hand had already been cut into pieces by Yang Le!

"Ka!"

A crisp sound of the sword being sheathed. The next second, the giant found that the world he was seeing began to turn upside down until he saw his own body and then lost consciousness.
