Chapter 14: Ranked 9th among the top ten superheroes, Hulk
In an instant, the time arrives the next day.
This applies to everyone in the Marvel Universe.
It's all tormenting. After all, everyone wants to know who the 9th-ranked superhero is.
Certainly not because they're thrilled with heavenly challenges.
They just enjoy watching videos.
...
Earth, New York, in the laboratory.
Nick Fury, Tony Stark, and Peter Parker are already here.
And in front of them, frozen in ice, the last-century hero, Captain America.
As Nick glimpses into the future, he quickly instructs Coulson to search diligently.
As expected, they indeed find Captain America, then bring him to the lab to thaw the ice.
Nick can only sigh; the last-century heroes didn't die even after being frozen for decades.
"Coulson, have you found the author named 'Lin Lan'? I think it's important to connect with this mysterious presence."
"Sorry... We used the most advanced methods, but we couldn't find him. It seems like he from another world..."
Coulson answers helplessly, still not recovering from his shock.
And one of Nick's eyes also shows a hint of surprise.
If the other party isn't from this world, they might be what's called a god.
"Oh God, is he Captain America? I'm a huge fan of his. He's still alive; it feels like I'm going crazy."
Peter continues chatting beside.
In fact, he's very happy inside.
For many, Captain America is more than just a hero; it's also a symbol of spirituality.
Peter admits it and has learned a lot from Captain America.
Coulson reminds from the side:
"It's almost time. Inventory will start soon. Hand over Captain America to us."
Everyone takes out their phones.
"I think I might need that reward more...."
Right now, Tony's heart is filled with anticipation, excitement, and anxiety.
Even though he might not have the consciousness to be a hero yet. But, watching the tragic experiences of three generations of Spider-Man, his heart aches too.
The helplessness and guilt shown by Spider-Man all sting his heart.
This strengthens his sense of responsibility.
And the reward Spider-Man receives makes his heart even more passionate.
Point to two people to be revived.
If there's a chance.
He will definitely revive his parents without hesitation.
The last time a new element was created, he saw a legacy video from his father. The father he once admired so much uttered touching words in that video.
This also caused a significant change in his view of his father.
Before this, Tony might have only wished he could make the list, to satisfy his vanity and slap Nick's face. But now, his inner world has undergone a surprising change.
He needs more power.
He doesn't want Pepper to die in front of him like Gwen did for Spider-Man.
He recalls Spider-Man's words before his death in a previous Spider-Man video; he must have said it to his face.
It means, in the future, will Spider-Man die in front of him?
Maybe he still doesn't know why, but he feels that at least if he knows the future, he has the ability to change it.
As long as he can gain power, he will have the ability to prepare for rainy days.
Tony wants to protect what he cares about.
So he must be on the list.
...
Asgard.
Currently, Thor's face is no longer as calm as yesterday. On the contrary, his heart is burning. He really wants to make the list.
Because he knows if he doesn't make the list, he will lose Odin's face and all of Asgard.
How to build prestige in the Nine Realms?
So he must be on the list. Especially with the extraordinary reward.
Who wouldn't be moved?
As for Loki on the other side, his face is full of surprise.
He really didn't expect that this video would provide an extraordinary reward.
Understandably, from childhood to adulthood, he learned magic from his mother. Compared to his brother Thor, his own combat power is very weak.
He can only use illusions to deceive his foolish brother.
So he longs and desires power.
Actually, he knows what he wants is not the throne, but to be treated the same as Thor.
Why is it that only Thor is admired by thousands, but he is shunned by others?
So only after he has power, he can decide everything.
He, Loki, must be on the list.
Time passes minute by minute.
When the time comes at the same moment as yesterday.
Everyone on Lin Lan's balcony refreshes their information one by one.
Sure enough, they see a new video.
[Top ten superheroes, Ranked 9th]
Everyone rushes to see who the 9th-ranked superhero is.
Dengdeng—
Dengdengdeng—
Another soft piano sound very similar to the previous video is heard, and the depiction continues.
A large spacecraft floats calmly in space.
However, unlike the spacecraft in the previous video, this one looks even bigger.
Countless flames ignite and blaze from the center of the spacecraft, quickly engulfing the entire spacecraft, turning it into countless fragments floating in space. The shockwaves generated by the explosion annihilate the asteroid belt beside it into ashes, providing a powerful visual impact to the onlookers.
Although the sound of the explosion is not heard, everyone sees a more shocking scene than before.
But they now know, this scene is definitely a depiction of the future.
"Next, let's start counting the 9th-ranked superhero among the top ten superheroes."
At this moment, Lin Lan's low and magnetic voice is heard.
"He's confused but courageous."
"There are two souls living in one body. When facing friends, he's kind and knowledgeable. When facing enemies, he strikes hard."
"His roar will make the heavens and earth tremble. His punch will make the gods cry."
Curiosity among many people emerges wildly.
Whose roar makes the world tremble?
Whose punch makes the gods cry?
Just as everyone's expectations are fulfilled.
Lin Lan's voice continues.
"Counting the top ten superheroes, Ranked 9th."
"Hulk."
Reason for being on the list: [Hulk plays two roles. When facing disasters, he uses his supernatural wisdom or attacks fiercely. Even when confused, he never gives up searching for a solution. Even when facing gods, he's never afraid. He is a heavyweight superhero with both wisdom and power.]
