Ch. 173 Absolute Power
🕑 Added 2023-11-27 16:02:02 +0000 UTCJust like Kara, when they saw Russell flying towards Grendel and Godzilla, Mr. Fantastic Reed and the others displayed puzzled expressions.
In the current situation, it was evident that sitting back and watching the two monsters fight would be a more appropriate choice.
Grendel had just made his entrance, and Coulson, Captain America Roger, and the rest recognized him. While they couldn't fathom why Grendel was fighting Godzilla, dealing with one monster was undoubtedly easier than dealing with two.
If Grendel hadn't been under Russell's command, even Russell would have waited until Grendel and Godzilla determined a winner before intervening.
However, Russell had orchestrated this scenario from the beginning, and he knew that dealing with two monsters would bring him even more fame than dealing with just one.
In the blink of an eye, Russell flew to the front of Grendel and Godzilla.
In front of Grendel and Godzilla, he appeared somewhat diminutive.
However, Grendel, who considered himself Russell's most loyal and trustworthy subordinate, responded with perfect coordination as soon as he saw Russell's arrival.
With Grendel perched atop Godzilla, he flapped his wings in a manner that seemed scientifically impossible and took to the air.
At the same time, Grendel opened his bloodthirsty maw filled with sharp teeth and lunged toward Russell.
On the surface, Grendel appeared to be attacking Russell ferociously, as if he intended to bite him to death.
But except for Russell and Grendel, nobody knew that this was a tactic they had discussed through their radio earpieces.
Grendel's bloodthirsty maw quickly approached Russell.
At that very moment, white tentacles sprouted from Russell's right hand.
These octopus-like tentacles shot toward Grendel's head at breakneck speed.
The next second, the white tentacles bound themselves around Grendel's head like ropes.
When the white tentacles entwined around Grendel's head, Russell, with his white wings behind him, suddenly spun around and simultaneously pulled his right hand with force.
While Grendel, whose head was ensnared by the white tentacles, not only didn't resist Russell's pull but also cooperated silently, pretending to be overwhelmed by Russell's strength. He flew awkwardly in the direction Russell was pulling.
Then, Grendel folded his wings and crashed heavily into the already devastated forest.
Boom!
Grendel created a massive pit in the forest, throwing up a cloud of dust and debris.
How was this possible?
Seeing Grendel, who was as massive as a small mountain, being tossed out like a wrestling move by Russell, both the on-site spectators and the global audience watching the live broadcast couldn't believe their eyes.
Russell's physical size was nowhere near Grendel's head.
Yet, even when facing Grendel, who was like a small mountain, Russell managed to throw him out.
Although they knew that Russell possessed extraordinary physical abilities, such as effortlessly lifting cars, this feat was beyond anyone's comprehension.
However, the reality of the situation couldn't be denied, and Grendel had indeed created a massive pit in the forest, causing a tremendous dust cloud.
Even the ground trembled violently.
When did he become this strong?
Just like Mr. Fantastic Reed and Coulson, Kara found the scene before her somewhat unbelievable.
While she didn't know the full extent of Russell's strength, she was certain that Russell's power was nowhere near the level required to easily throw a monster weighing over ten thousand tons like Grendel.
If Russell had possessed such incredible strength, he wouldn't have needed to resort to those excruciatingly itchy attacks when he bullied her at the Justice League Headquarters.
Even now, Kara shuddered at the thought of those bone-deep itches.
Russell didn't stop there. Tossing Grendel into the ground was apparently not enough.
While Grendel lay feigning injury in the forest, Russell swiftly flew to his side.
Negative energy, symbiote tentacles...
Fueled by an inexplicable rage, Russell mercilessly beat down on Grendel, as if he had gone berserk.
These brutal attacks on Grendel, orchestrated by Russell, were perfectly captured from various angles by the aerial drones.
Afterwards, through No. 3's live editing, the footage was sent back to the official Justice League website for viewers worldwide to witness.
It seemed that Russell's actions had inspired Grendel, or perhaps it was the footage of Russell "pummeling" Grendel that made Coulson think Grendel might not be as formidable as he imagined.
Coulson started organizing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents to remotely attack Grendel.
Although Russell wasn't entirely pleased with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intervention in his performance, he had no intention of letting Coulson and his team disrupt his plans.
While S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents began launching remote attacks against Grendel, Russell, making it seem as though Grendel had retaliated and pushed him away, signaled Grendel to fly toward Coulson and the others.
Grendel had already proven that he was not easy to bully when he was thrown to the ground by Russell. In just a few seconds, Coulson and his team faced a relentless assault they couldn't withstand.
Grendel showed no mercy, unleashing the full potential of his symbiotic combat abilities. His enormous black form sprouted countless tentacles, transforming them into various deadly weapons as he relentlessly attacked Coulson and his team.
While Russell wasn't entirely pleased with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intervention in his performance, he had no intention of letting Coulson and his team disrupt his plans.
Those ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents could die for all he cared.
However, there was a problem: Natasha was among them.
Although Natasha had been kidnapped by Grendel, she was unaware of his arrangements for her.
As Grendel went on a rampage for a few seconds, causing more than half of Coulson's team to suffer casualties, Russell once again flew to Grendel's side. This time, in front of everyone, he used his "absolute power" to brutally attack Grendel.
