After Ross boarded the rescue helicopter, he watched the battle between Hulk and Abomination from above.
At the same time, Ross ordered the capture team to stand by, intending to capture both giants simultaneously.
But Hulk's sudden surge in power, killing Abomination in one fell swoop, foiled Ross's plan. He could only glare at Hulk on the ground in anger.
But it wasn't time to give up yet.
So what if Abomination was just a corpse? It was better than nothing. Besides, there were still two other targets below waiting to be captured.
Tonight wasn't over yet!
The military had long noticed Kamen Rider Zi-O's super armor, but they lacked actionable targets due to limited intelligence. So they had been letting S.H.I.E.L.D. take the lead, planning to reap the benefits. But now, this guy was down there, and he was with the Hulk they'd been trying to capture.
Free food like this, how could he refuse!
While Zed was still bragging to Tony, Skye's anxious voice came from the earpiece, "Zed! The army is approaching you! Get out of there quickly!"
Hearing Skye's concern, Zed was very comforted. But Zed still casually said:
"Why leave? Ross is so enthusiastically inviting me to the party. How can I refuse? I originally planned to start messing around at the second stage, but there's no better time than the present. I'll let them witness the power of my Ohma Zi-O here!"
"But! This is too dangerous!"
Skye still wanted to persuade him, but Zed comforted her, "It's okay! Don't worry about me! You have to believe in your Demon King!"
Tony, waiting for Zed to finish the communication, asked Zed, "Are you going to have a conflict with the military?"
Hulk also walked over, listening to the two little guys' conversation.
Zed said in a matter-of-fact tone, "They're extending an invitation, I can't refuse!"
"Retreat quickly, while there's still time!" Tony kindly wanted to protect this "friend".
Zed waved his hand, declining Tony's suggestion. He then said, "You should take the young lady away from here."
Zed turned to look at Hulk. "We might involve her in our fight later. Tony, take her away, alright?"
"No! I'm staying here!" Elizabeth protested urgently.
Although Hulk seemed clumsy and easily angered, he could still understand the situation. Neither Banner nor Hulk wanted to involve Elizabeth.
Zed looked at Hulk calmly, and seeing that Hulk had tacitly agreed with his decision, he turned to Elizabeth.
"No! I want to stay by Banner's side!" Elizabeth said and ran towards Hulk.
"I won't ask for your permission, Miss Elizabeth!" Zed swiftly delivered a chop to the back of Elizabeth's neck, knocking her unconscious before handing her to Tony.
Hulk snorted, but he didn't stop Zed.
"Alright, Tony! You should be more concerned with Elizabeth's safety than ours. Go, quickly," Zed urged.
Tony took a deep look at Zed, then, without another word, he picked up Elizabeth and flew away.
Ross, who was in the helicopter, felt relieved seeing Tony Stark take his daughter away. Without Elizabeth to worry about, Ross could finally go all out against the two guys on the ground.
"Commence...attack!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Tat! Tat! Tat! Bullets, shells, missiles, and a series of other weapons were fired at Zed and Hulk simultaneously. With ample time to prepare, the military's attack this time could be called a barrage, covering the sky.
"Ha~ Ha~ Ha~ Ha~"
Zed laughed excitedly, completely unconcerned about the impending crisis, and then stretched out a hand:
"Stop! Time!"
This time, the time stop wasn't a broad area effect. Instead, it targeted specific objects that everyone could see. This kind of time stop was truly impactful, befitting his grand entrance.
The U.S. government, the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, the FBI, the CIA, and everyone else watching New York witnessed this breathtaking scene.
A barrage of bullets and missiles froze in mid-air, unable to advance an inch. The incoming ammunition met the same fate, becoming part of this world-shaking spectacle.
Shin and Woz, who had been hiding in the shadows, wary of the military, also emerged, standing on either side of Zed.
"Celebrate! Woz!"
Woz stepped forward and, beneath this incredible sight, announced to the world:
"Celebrate! The Time King, who inherits the power of all Riders, who understands the past and the future. His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O, and this is the beginning of his reign!"
After Woz finished celebrating, Zed clenched his hand. All the projectiles were sent back in time to where they came from.
Boom!
For the King's birth, let the cannons roar!
Amidst the exploding flames, Zed tried his best to maintain his composure, preserving his invincible kingly image.
In truth, Zed was already a spent force. He hadn't reached the second stage, so he couldn't control much time power. Cronus's reset ability also placed extremely high demands on the user.
This time rewind operation was cool, alright, but the consumption was too great.
Meanwhile, the meeting rooms of various organizations were utterly silent, all stunned into speechlessness.
This Time King had wiped out an entire army with just one blow!
Some older officials had witnessed Magneto manipulating countless missiles to fly back, and some had even personally experienced the Golden Gate Bridge incident. But none of the scenes in their memories were as shocking as what they were witnessing!
They weren't blind! The missiles had been rewound along their original trajectories! They weren't deaf! They had heard Woz's words clearly, about a Time King who understood the past and the future! Magneto only manipulated magnetism, but this Time King controlled time!
Nick Fury sat in the office without a word, while Natasha sighed and said, "It's really come true!"
Coulson and Hill stared blankly at the live broadcast, muttering, "This kind of power actually exists!"
Pierce's expression was exactly like Nick Fury's; no one knew what they were thinking.
After resting for two or three minutes, Zed said to Shin, "Go kill all the stragglers! Leave none alive!"
Then he said to Woz, "Ross is in a rescue helicopter and isn't equipped with weapons. Go bring him back to me."
"Yes! My Demon King!" Woz and Shin bowed simultaneously and then quickly rushed toward their respective targets.
After Woz and Shin left, Zed took off the Cronus Watch and reverted to his Zi-O form, sitting back on the car roof.
Hulk was very confused; the battle was over just like that! He hadn't even had his fill of fighting!
Zed looked up at Hulk's dumb and cute expression and said, "If anyone attacks me later, help me drive them back. How about it, Hulk!"
Hulk used his big head to think for a moment: save Elizabeth, help Hulk, fight Ross, friend!
Hulk wanted to help his friend!
Hulk snorted, letting out a puff of air, and then grunted in agreement.
As expected, there were always those who loved to take risks, those who liked to nip danger in the bud.
Zi-O had just unleashed a big move; it was impossible for him not to be exhausted. And his two subordinates had left his side. This was the best chance to eliminate the threat!
Special forces units surged towards Zed. These units came from different organizations; some were partners, some didn't know each other, and some were outright enemies.
But there was no conflict between these forces; they were all advancing in the same direction. They wouldn't start infighting before killing or capturing their target.
Tonight, they were all an alliance of justice, on their way to crusade against the Demon King.
Seeing these guys, Hulk pounded his chest fiercely, then roared and charged towards them.
These guys hurt Hulk's friend, so Hulk could attack them to his heart's content, venting all his anger.
But there were too many of them. Although Hulk could easily tear an elephant to pieces, he couldn't stop these ants from bypassing him.
Zed looked at the approaching task force and sneered, "Naive! Xiajiao! Setron! Take them down!"
Boom!
Three giant and one super-giant Time Machine Gods deactivated their stealth modes in the void and landed on the ground.
Setron took control of the three Time Machine Gods, entering automatic attack mode and unleashing a barrage of ammunition at the task force.
The largest Time Machine God was made by Dan Kuroto using dragon bones as a material, its appearance similar to the Level 5 Gashat, Flying Dragon Hunter Z.
"Ha~ Ha~ Ha~ My divine talent! It's truly terrifying! A tiny Time Machine God is nothing for the new-Dan Kuroto-Kami-sama! Ha~ Ha~ Ha~ Ha~~ I shall name it the Flying Dragon Machine God! Ha~ Ha~ Ha~ Ha~"
Amidst Dan Kuroto's maniacal laughter, the originally standing Machine God transformed into a flying dragon, soaring over the task force's heads, raining down divine punishment and the dragon's wrath.
Boom!
The destruction caused by the four Machine Gods far surpassed the Hulk's fists, and the entire task force was almost completely annihilated by them.
Zed, watching the show, heard Skye's voice again: "Isn't this a bit too much?"
"I didn't attack them first. They made the first move. If you want to kill someone, be prepared to be killed! Those without resolve aren't qualified to kill!" Zed patiently educated Skye, instilling his philosophy in her.
"Alright! Be careful! Don't mess up!"
"Piece of cake!"
Meanwhile, Woz, having equipped the Ninja Watch, was scaling buildings towards Ross's helicopter, creating clones to move along other routes, hindering the pilot's judgment.
When he was close enough, Woz flung his purple scarf towards the helicopter. The scarf wrapped around the helicopter's tail, and several Wozs worked together to pull it down.
Woz punched through the window, pulled Ross out, and walked back, one hand gripping Ross's neck.
The space Woz left was only enough for Ross to barely breathe. Struggling for air, Ross couldn't speak, not even able to glare at Woz.
Woz didn't want to listen to him either.
