Late at night, on the secluded street behind the bar.
'Bang!!!'
A brilliant explosion erupted, and the shockwave instantly engulfed Eddie, who was rampaging wildly, causing the turbulent wind to slap wildly at the surrounding open space.
The target man, relieved from the crisis, breathed a sigh of relief, kneeling on the ground with both knees, using one hand to support himself as he struggled to stand up. He nodded towards the rooftop of the adjacent building, "Well done."
On the rooftop, a mysterious man held a special bow and carried a quiver of arrows on his back, squatting on top of a ten-meter-high wall, overlooking the area below with sharp, dark eyes.
Just as he thought he had successfully killed the target and was about to lower his bow, a sharp, terrifying roar suddenly erupted from within the self-destructive wave.
The target man's face changed drastically as he looked up and saw a huge black shadow accelerating out of the dust cloud. With tough muscles and a glossy black shell, it took a direct hit from an explosion resembling a high-explosive grenade, yet continued its violent assault forward.
"Is this monster Hulk's brother?"
The target man barely had time to think, as Eddie was already approaching him, swinging his fists downward. He could only roll on the ground in a sorry state, narrowly avoiding the punches of Eddie's Venom-covered monstrous form.
But the concrete pavement of the street wasn't so lucky. Under the tremendous impact of the punches, it shattered and collapsed like tofu, creating a crater with a radius of one and a half meters. Looking into the center, one could even see the underground sewer.
Rolling a few times to escape disaster, the target man propped himself up with his hands, made a graceful leap to his feet, and looked at the terrifying fist pit not far away, swallowing hard. He adjusted the duckbill hat on his head and said helplessly into his communication mic, "Should've brought Banner over. He's good at dealing with this kind of character."
"He's coming? Things might get worse!" The bow-wielding man responded with a grunt.
Eddie's eyes emitted a pale cold light, knowing that the opponent had an ally and thinking of ending the battle quickly. With a furious run-up, he turned into a blurry black shadow and flew out, closing the distance. His palms, the size of small fans, spread open outward, striking towards the target man.
The palms moved with astonishing power and speed, generating a small range of strong air pressure and roaring winds.
If hit, not only a human but even an elephant would be beaten into a pulp alive!
Seeing Eddie's towering figure getting closer and closer, the target man stood straight in a military posture, his sturdy and perfect muscular body, along with his confident and soaring demeanor, making him look like an unyielding poplar tree.
He was not fighting alone!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh—"
In the nick of time, just as Eddie was about to take down one person, a woman's voice suddenly interrupted the battle. At the same time, a round object, acting as a throwing dart, was hurled towards the target man. "You forgot something!"
The target man's eyes lit up, and with quick reflexes, he accurately caught the round object with both hands and raised it up. It was clearly a single-handed round shield, adorned with blue and red stripes under the dim light, vividly contrasting against the graffiti. It miraculously blocked Eddie's powerful slap from above!
"Boom!"
Facing the pure force of over ten tons, the target man, holding the round shield, stood firm, kneeling on one knee to support himself on the ground. His muscles swelled up, and the bill of his duckbill hat was lifted by the shockwave, while garbage and wall posters around the street were blown everywhere by the strong wind.
It wasn't until the force of the impact was fully absorbed and dissipated by the round shield.
"Eh?" Eddie exclaimed in surprise, taking three steps back and creating some distance.
The target man stood up proudly, holding the round shield with his left hand. Without his duckbill hat, his sunny golden hair and handsome, resolute young face were fully revealed. Coupled with his perfectly proportioned body, he looked like a living statue of a soldier.
*Click!*
A steel cable swung down from the building rooftop, followed by a male special agent dressed in a black uniform, sliding down with a cold, black-eyed man holding a special bow. Agile and nimble, he landed gracefully on the street and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the shield-bearing man.
*Tap, tap!*
From the other end of the street corner, a stunning woman with short dark red hair stepped out. Her fitted leather suit accentuated every curve of her body, and she held two silver pistols in her hands as she stood beside the shield-bearing man.
The three of them standing together formed a formidable trio, like a golden triangle formation, their icy vigilance fixed on Eddie.
"Did I arrive late, Captain?"
A clear whistle echoed in the night sky as a black man with mechanical wings circled low over the street, then swiftly folded his wings and landed beside the shield-bearing man and his companions.
"Not at all."
The man addressed as 'Captain' smiled and looked at Eddie, who stood alone. He said in a deep voice, "Now, it's four against one!"
The other three stared at Eddie in unison, showing a brute-force trend of attacking without hesitation.
"Um..."
Eddie looked at the familiar faces in front of him, shrugged slightly, and sighed, "I think there's a misunderstanding here. Captain Steve, Miss Natasha, the other two should be Falcon and Hawkeye, the newcomers to the Avengers, right?"
"Huh?"
The four opposing individuals looked puzzled.
"Venom, deactivate combat mode."
As Eddie spoke, his black armored suit disintegrated and melted into black liquid, all retracting into his body. In just three seconds, he reverted to his normal human appearance.
"An agent from the Supernatural Incident Bureau?" "Eddie, is that you?"
Steve and Natasha exchanged glances. They had been to the Stark Tower before and immediately recognized Eddie as the temporary worker who had hosted them last time, but they had never seen his transformed state.
"I'm here with Master to find a criminal in the bar. I mistook you for the criminal, Captain Steve, and that's why I acted."
Eddie smiled wryly.
Steve and the others were speechless upon hearing this. They were also here to find a criminal, and seeing Eddie take action, they assumed he was the culprit—both sides had made the same mistake.
It was truly a case of friendly fire, resulting in a battle between allies.
