Chapter 390 The End Arrives
"Don't let him fool you!"
The previously silent conference hall was suddenly pierced by a furious shout.
Everyone turned to look.
From a previously unnoticed emergency exit, a figure slowly emerged.
This person could be described with one word: tragic.
His right arm was severed at the shoulder, his right eye gouged out, his right ear cut off, and beneath the bandages on his right side, a large, centipede-like surgical scar was faintly visible, suggesting that some internal organs had also been removed.
Sterling, sitting in the stands, felt a chill run down his spine.
Bertrand was still alive!
But how had he ended up like this?
Bertrand hobbled towards the center of the hall, extending his left hand, trembling, and pointed at Elbert from afar.
"Don't let him fool you!"
"He's nothing!"
"He was just a trainee at BioGen Innovations!"
"He has no real skills and doesn't deserve to be on that podium!"
Bertrand shouted these words with all his strength, causing his wounds to bleed profusely.
Gritting his teeth, blood and saliva dripping from his mouth, he continued, "I challenge him! I will kill him!"
At this moment, Alaric stood up abruptly, shouting angrily, "This is nonsense! Someone, drag him out of here!"
"Nonsense?"
Bertrand's eyes were bloodshot. "I represent BioGen Innovations! I have a spot in this competition, and BioGen Innovations does not concede!"
He turned and pointed at Punisher in the stands. "This is a competition! If Paul Five signed up, then Paul Five has to fight. You can't interfere! I will kill him right in front of you!"
Indeed, BioGen Innovations had a spot in the competition.
If he didn't forfeit, he had the right to challenge.
"Ha ha!"
Bertrand pulled out a green syringe from his pocket with his one hand and plunged it directly into his heart.
Gritting his teeth, he injected the entire contents.
In the next moment, Bertrand's body began to change. His withered muscles started to grow, and his presence became more imposing.
Everyone was stunned.
Was this some kind of enhancement drug?
Bertrand's strength was rapidly increasing!
Evalia's leader, Leopold, was also taken aback. He picked up his radio, "Harper, if Mr. Perry is threatened, assist him. We will challenge BioGen Innovations as competitors!"
Alaric issued the same order to Dragon Might.
It was no wonder.
Except for Leonard, none of the big shots present knew Elbert's true strength.
To Sterling, Elbert was a hacker.
To Alaric, Elbert's only confrontation had been with the help of ApexGuardians.
To Leopold, Elbert was a scientist.
People only knew that Elbert had advanced technical skills; they had never seen him fight.
In the Punisher team, only Briana looked expectantly. Paul, Three should finally make a move this time, right?
The other Punishers, however, had cold expressions.
Rules or no rules, if Elbert gave the order, they would tear Bertrand apart.
They looked at Elbert, who stood with his hands behind his back, his expression cautious, completely ignoring Bertrand since his appearance.
At this moment, Bertrand's bones began to crackle.
His hair slowly fell out, his body tripled in size, and his muscles bulged, turning him into a terrifying giant.
Simultaneously, Bertrand's presence reached a frightening level.
The modified humans present could sense it.
That drug was extraordinary, making Bertrand incredibly strong.
People looked at Bertrand, trembling from the depths of their hearts, instinctively taking a step back.
They felt that Bertrand could reach E-level, maybe even F-level!
The fear was overwhelming.
Many ordinary humans in the hall were shaking, some even feeling the urge to wet themselves.
Bertrand had turned into a monster, his heavy breathing causing the ground to tremble with each step.
The crowd panicked, quickly evacuating the arena.
Only the Punisher team stood their ground, waiting for Elbert's command.
Elbert glanced at Bertrand, then continued to ignore him.
An F9-level modified human was impressive, but not a disaster.
A faint sound echoed, barely audible.
Except for Elbert, no one heard it.
Elbert's heart sank.
The water droplet pendant's countdown had reached zero.
Suddenly, a surge of battle awareness and the strongest sense of crisis he had ever felt hit him.
Elbert looked up instinctively.
The central part of the stadium's roof was made of large, tempered glass.
Squinting, his gaze pierced through the sky.
High above, a tiny, flickering light, as small as a grain of rice, was barely visible.
Elbert's vision zoomed in.
But the light was too far away.
He could only make out a blurry shape.
It was a massive fireball outside the atmosphere.
Robert appeared, his face pale. "A meteorite!"
"A meteorite the size of a small asteroid!"
"Preliminary estimates put its diameter at 900 feet, weighing nearly 37,000 short tons, traveling at 28 miles per second!"
"It's going to hit near Wavehaven!"
"But this isn't like the movies, where it just destroys a city!"
"It will trigger tectonic movements, causing multiple volcanic eruptions. The ash alone will cover 79% of the atmosphere!"
"It won't dissipate quickly, leading to massive plant die-offs!"
"The most alarming part is that the Earth's rotational axis might shift slightly due to the impact!"
"This angle will gradually increase with the Earth's rotation!"
"First, it will cause seasonal imbalances!"
"Then, the polar ice caps will melt, flooding the entire planet!"
"Why didn't any space agencies warn us?"
"It's too late now!"
"In 82 seconds, it will enter the atmosphere!"
"With its mass and speed, the atmosphere won't burn it up, and no human weapon can shoot it down!"
"This is the end!"
