Thor knew very well that if he failed to defeat the Hulk now, he would not only lose the trust of the people of Asgard, but his authority throughout the Nine Realms would also be shaken.
He secretly prayed that everything would go smoothly.
On the screen, Thor reached out and gently touched the Hulk’s massive palm, speaking in a calm voice.
“I won’t hurt you.”
The Hulk froze for a moment.
The scene left the viewers holding their breath.
No one had expected the God of Thunder to choose to calm the Hulk rather than fight him.
They knew that the Hulk’s strength came from his anger.
Once his emotions settled down, his combat power would inevitably weaken.
The people of Asgard looked at Thor with approving eyes, and even Odin showed a hint of relief.
However, in the very next moment, the Hulk suddenly erupted.
He grabbed Thor and violently slammed him into the ground!
A thunderous crash rang out as countless deep craters appeared in the ground, sending dust billowing into the air.
The audience erupted in an uproar, unable to believe that even Thor had suffered such a devastating blow.
The camera then turned toward Loki.
He excitedly jumped to his feet and shouted, “Yes!
That’s it!”
In the real world, Loki lowered his head to hide his smile, secretly rejoicing.
“Excellent…
At least I’m not the only one getting beaten up now.”
Seeing Thor defeated filled Loki with immense satisfaction.
With a mocking tone, he asked, “Dear brother, didn’t you boast earlier that you could easily defeat that big brute?
You even said that fighting him with one hand would be enough, didn’t you?”
Thor was rendered speechless for a moment, and his expression became extremely ugly.
The great hall fell silent.
Everyone clearly remembered Thor’s bold declaration from earlier.
Yet the scene in the video now showed him being brutally beaten, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to his confidence.
Thor tried to defend himself.
“I was merely careless for a moment!”
But his eyes kept drifting toward Odin on the throne, revealing his uneasiness.
Odin brought the Eternal Spear heavily against the ground.
The crisp sound echoed through the hall, accompanied by an imposing aura that spread throughout the entire chamber.
Everyone present felt their hearts tremble and hurriedly knelt down in awe.
They understood that Odin’s anger stemmed from the humiliating defeats suffered by both of his sons on the interdimensional platform.
It was undoubtedly damaging to Asgard’s prestige.
Although Odin remained silent, everyone could feel his displeasure.
People began to feel fear toward the Hulk, realizing that the claim that “even gods would cry beneath his fists” was not an exaggeration.
They simply worried that this powerful being might become a threat to Asgard in the future.
Meanwhile, viewers in other corners of the universe cheered wildly for the Hulk.
In their eyes, the green giant was like an invincible god of war, unstoppable wherever he went.
Facing the overwhelming pressure brought by the alien warships, he had not hesitated to throw his fists against them.
He even dared to face the gods head-on!
Every punch was filled with tremendous power, as though it struck directly at the viewers’ hearts, leaving their blood boiling and their emotions surging.
“This is the kind of superhero I want to see!
That was incredible!”
“Exactly!
I was worried that what the military did would make him retreat, but a true hero will always step forward when danger comes.”
“The battle scenes are amazing!
This is exactly what I wanted to see!”
Although the previous footage had not clearly shown whether Thor was defeated again, merely seeing the Hulk violently slam a god into the ground twice had already earned him everyone’s sincere admiration.
However, just when everyone thought the Hulk would remain unstoppable, the background music suddenly changed into a low, flowing melody filled with faint sorrow.
At the same time, Leon Vance’s narration slowly rang out.
“He is a fearless hero, a warrior born from rage.
Even when facing gods, he never retreats.
“But even someone with limitless strength must have experienced moments of confusion and weakness, right?”
When Leon Vance was editing the footage, he had originally intended to highlight only the Hulk’s ferocious and courageous side.
But after giving it some thought, he realized that a hero should not be defined solely by their glory.
So he decided to show another side of the Hulk’s inner struggle, the journey from conflict to reconciliation between Banner and the Hulk.
That was precisely what gave the Hulk greater depth and made his character more compelling.
The footage continued.
Amid thunderous explosions, the city trembled continuously.
The out-of-control Hulk charged wildly through the streets, surrounded by screams, cries, and blazing explosions.
Then, in the midst of the chaos, an enormous red figure suddenly appeared.
It was not the Abomination, but a gigantic suit of armor piloted by Iron Man!
Tony Stark exclaimed, “My God!
Is that really me?”
The little Spider-Man beside him was equally unable to hide his admiration.
“Mr.
Stark, you actually built armor like that?
That’s incredible!”
His eyes were filled with admiration for the genius inventor.
Tony had not only created the Iron Man suit, but could even control such an enormous machine with ease.
Of course, admiration was one thing, but the doubt in Peter’s heart had not disappeared.
He still desperately wanted to know the answer.
Did Tony Stark actually have the ability to stop this crisis?
The footage continued.
In the sky, several diamond-shaped metal plates rapidly descended and precisely surrounded the rampaging Hulk.
They instantly released powerful high-voltage currents, attempting to forcibly stop him.
However, Stark had not expected the Hulk to suddenly burrow underground.
The next second, the Hulk burst out of the ground behind him and unleashed a devastating punch carrying tremendous force!
“Bang!!”
A deep, thunderous boom suddenly erupted.
The force behind the Hulk’s attack was astonishing.
It sent the enormous Iron Man armor flying dozens of meters through the air!
Fortunately, Stark’s reactions were fast.
He immediately activated his thrusters and used their powerful propulsion to stabilize himself.
The next moment, he and the Hulk launched into an intense chase through the city.
Flames shot into the sky in succession, thick smoke rolled like enormous waves, and dust and rubble flew in every direction.
The two battled from one end of the city to the other, leaving destruction everywhere they passed.
The scene was utterly spectacular.
During the stalemate, Iron Man quickly switched combat modes.
His right arm instantly transformed into a high-frequency spring-loaded punching mechanism.
As he repeatedly growled, “Go down!” he launched a fierce assault.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!!!”
The spring-loaded fist struck the Hulk’s face repeatedly at astonishing speed, each impact producing violent shockwaves.
The tremendous force sent the Hulk’s head crashing into the ground again and again, even smashing deep craters into the earth.
The viewers were all left horrified.
“My God, is this really that playboy?
He’s insanely powerful!”
“I thought the Hulk was already unbeatable.
Who’s controlling that armor?”
“It’s Iron Man!
That’s Stark!”
The viewers discussed it in disbelief.
Who could have imagined that Tony Stark, a man who usually presented himself as a spoiled playboy, could actually force the Hulk into such a desperate situation?
However, just when everyone thought the outcome had been decided, the Hulk on the screen suddenly spat out a bloodied fragment of a broken tooth.
His gaze suddenly turned cold, and killing intent filled the air around him.
Everyone watching instantly felt a chill run down their spines.
They cried out in alarm.
Iron Man was in danger!
…
“My God, is that really me?
This is unbelievable…”
In a secluded alley in Indonesia, Dr.
Banner stared wide-eyed at the screen, almost unable to believe that the fearless figure on the screen was actually himself.
He had never imagined that one day he would be able to rampage through a battle in New York, even beating Thor so badly that the God of Thunder could barely fight back.
Anyone who saw such a scene would find it unbelievable.
Yet just as Banner was stunned by his own strength, the creator suddenly mentioned that he would later go through a period of decline.
