Inside the motel room, a man and a woman were about to engage in intimacy, but in his excitement, the man suddenly... turned green.
The two quickly separated, and the man gasped for air, trying to steady his heartbeat.
"Betty, I'm sorry..."
Bruce Banner quickly apologized.
Being the Hulk had this disadvantage: he would transform whenever his emotions ran high.
Passion counted too.
No wonder Banner said he was constantly angry—how could he not be frustrated when he could see it but couldn't proceed?
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Just as Banner was feeling frustrated, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door, startling the two inside.
Strictly speaking, Banner and Betty were currently running away together, and Banner was a wanted criminal of Betty's father, General Ross.
Ross was obsessed with creating Super Soldiers like Captain America, so he never stopped hunting Banner after he became the Hulk.
He desperately wanted to find the secret behind Banner's Hulk transformation so he could create an army.
For this goal, he showed no mercy, even though Banner was his own daughter's boyfriend.
Ross had discovered every place Banner had hidden, and Banner feared that this time it was Ross's men again.
"Don't be nervous. If it were Thaddeus Ross, he wouldn't bother knocking," Fang Yuan's voice came through.
Banner glanced at Betty, then opened the door with suspicion.
But he had already made up his mind: if the person outside was an enemy, he would transform immediately!
Creak!
The door was pulled open, and Fang Yuan saw Banner standing behind it.
It was Mark Ruffalo, not Edward Norton.
"Who are you?"
Banner looked outside, saw no one else, but did not lower his guard.
"I am Fang Yuan, you can call me Fang," Fang Yuan replied with a smile. "I'm here to help you."
Seeing that Banner was skeptical, Fang Yuan continued.
"It's useless for you to keep hiding. You were already Ross's target, and now you've run off with his daughter. He would find you even if you hid in the Mariana Trench."
Banner fell silent, knowing that Fang Yuan spoke the truth.
"But I can help you!"
Fang Yuan handed over an ID card. Banner took it and read: "S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Fang Yuan nodded: "That's right. S.H.I.E.L.D. is also an official organization, and Ross cannot interfere. As long as you join us, Ross won't be able to touch you."
Different people require different approaches. Since Banner's troubles mainly stemmed from official channels, Fang Yuan started directly with an official solution, which naturally yielded better results.
But Banner had not completely lowered his guard.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked.
Fang Yuan immediately handed him an invitation letter.
"We hope you will join our Superhero team to deal with various crises that erupt on Earth."
He first presented the noble cause, then followed up by appealing to emotion.
"When there are no missions, we'd like you to cooperate with Vought Corporation for publicity, so more people know that Superhumans are not terrifying, nor are they all criminals, allowing others to avoid your tragedy."
"Do you know Iron Man and Iron Guardian? They are both members of our team, so rest assured, no one wants to capture you for research."
Honestly, Banner was truly tempted, because everything Fang Yuan said aligned with his own ideals.
But after careful consideration, Banner shook his head.
"No, I'm sorry, I cannot accept your invitation."
"I plan to completely eliminate the effects of the Gamma Rays on me and return to being a normal person."
Compared to being a Superhero, Banner preferred to be an ordinary person.
The Hulk had severely impacted Banner's normal life, preventing him even from having emotional intimacy.
Every time he transformed, it took Banner a long time to change back. He was terrified that one day he would turn into the Hulk and never revert.
Therefore, Banner felt it was more appropriate to solve the problem once and for all by eliminating the Hulk without leaving any future trouble.
Coincidentally, Banner had contacted an expert in New York, codenamed Mr. Blue.
Mr. Blue had long helped him analyze his physical condition and recently informed him that he had found a way to eliminate the hidden danger.
Banner was more willing to trust Mr. Blue.
Or rather, he was more hopeful that Mr. Blue's method would work.
Fang Yuan naturally knew what he was thinking, so he spoke directly: "With all due respect, the Mr. Blue you know cannot help you achieve what you desire."
Banner's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Fang Yuan to know even this.
However, considering that he and Mr. Blue communicated via email, it wasn't too strange that Fang Yuan, with his official background, knew about it.
He still shook his head: "I want to try."
Fang Yuan was not disappointed.
He had anticipated this; without experiencing disappointment, how would Banner ever regard him as a lifeline?
Besides, if Banner didn't go find Mr. Blue, how would Abomination appear?
He left a business card for Banner.
"My invitation remains valid. If you change your mind, just give me a call."
Fang Yuan was straightforward and left immediately after Banner took the card.
His resolute manner and lack of persistence actually made both Banner and Betty feel favorable towards him.
Banner carefully kept the business card. If something unexpected happened, Fang Yuan would be their fallback plan.
"It seems there are good people even within the government," Banner remarked.
Thanks to the Low-Level Affinity Aura and his pleasant demeanor, Fang Yuan left a very good impression on Banner.
What he didn't know was that the very next day, shortly after they set off, Fang Yuan revealed Banner's whereabouts to one of Ross's informants nearby.
Since he temporarily chose not to follow him, Banner might as well stick to the plot.
Consequently, Banner had a miserable time. He and Betty were constantly on the run, facing danger multiple times, and only managed to return to New York with great difficulty.
And arriving in New York on the same day as him was another big guy.
"This is one of the busiest cities on Earth? There are certainly a lot of people."
Thor said this while looking at the bustling traffic around him.
Busy?
Fang Yuan nodded.
New York was indeed busy, both in this World and the Myriad Worlds. The only place that could rival it was probably the mysterious City A.
"Woohoo, we're finally back in a big city!"
Daisy cheered, spreading her arms wide.
Jane and Professor Erik beside her also nodded.
Thor wanted to develop in the big city, and under his warm invitation, Jane and the others came along to scope out the place, so they would know where Thor was in the future.
Of course, it was mainly Jane who wanted to scope it out.
Thor worked fast; Jane was already his girlfriend.
After Daisy finished speaking, she came over and hugged Fang Yuan's arm, squeezing his arm into her mountains.
Hmm, Fang Yuan wasn't slow either.
The difference, however, was that Daisy was naturally not his girlfriend.
But Daisy didn't mind at all; she felt she had already gained a lot just by being close to Fang Yuan.
"Let's rest this afternoon, and we'll go out for dinner tonight," Fang Yuan instructed the group. "I know a pretty good restaurant in Harlem."
"Coincidentally," the place Banner and Betty were heading was also Harlem.
Banner finally found Mr. Blue in a university laboratory.
Mr. Blue's real name was Samuel Sterns, a university Professor. Only after finding him did Banner realize that Sterns only had a slight lead and couldn't fully guarantee the experiment's success.
"Banner."
Betty held Banner's hand. She took out the business card Fang Yuan had given them, wanting to say they had another option, but Banner refused to give up.
He wanted too badly to escape the torment of the Hulk.
"Start it!" he decided.
So, under Sterns's procedure, Banner endured the experiment and felt an incredible lightness in his body, as if the Hulk had truly left him.
But at that moment, General Ross arrived with his men and immediately arrested Banner and Betty.
However, this made another person very angry.
Bronski.
He was General Ross's ace soldier, a man who admired strength. He had previously achieved the feat of challenging the Hulk one-on-one, with the reward being comminuted fractures throughout his body.
Later, Ross saved him using a Half-Finished Super Soldier Serum. His goal was to become as powerful as the Hulk and defeat him.
Thus, Bronski forced Sterns to use the Hulk's blood to modify him.
Sterns's motivation for helping Banner was also impure; he wanted to study Gamma Rays to make money, so the two quickly reached an agreement.
Thus, the Hulk's great enemy—Abomination—made his appearance.
Abomination was even taller than the Hulk, a full three meters high, entirely gray, with fin-like protrusions on his back, making him incredibly hideous.
But Bronski didn't care; he only cared about being powerful.
Furthermore, unlike Banner, who lost self-awareness after transforming into the Hulk, Bronski's consciousness remained dominant after transforming into Abomination.
"Hulk!"
He roared at General Ross's retreating party and immediately charged wildly, overturning and crushing every car and soldier in his path.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
Thor, who was eating, looked outside in confusion and saw a blaze of fire outside the restaurant.
Thor laughed out loud: "Fang, is that a bonfire party outside? Shall we go?"
Asgardians simply loved excitement.
But they quickly realized something was wrong, because the sounds coming from the street were not laughter, but screams!
The group rushed out and discovered that people on the street were scattering, and a large gray monster was charging wildly in the distance. Police officers were firing pistols—biubiubiu—but it had no effect.
Casualties among the civilians on the street were horrific; many were trapped in cars or pinned down by rocks, unable to escape.
"Rescue people!"
Fang Yuan shouted and charged to the front, and Thor immediately followed.
Unbeknownst to them, many reporters had already gathered at the scene and were broadcasting the incident live.
Fang Yuan randomly picked a severely injured person and began casting magic to rescue them. This fantastical scene was naturally captured by the reporters.
"Look, it's magic!"
Viewers in front of their televisions immediately cried out in astonishment, and Fang Yuan's reputation continuously soared.
Meanwhile, at least half of the reporters secretly aimed their cameras at Thor.
Although Thor loved fighting, after causing such a major disaster this time, he was no longer as savage as before. Seeing people who needed rescuing, he exerted himself greatly.
Relying on his powerful strength, he indeed saved many people.
Seeing the people he rescued showering him with gratitude, Thor suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of his battles.
Killing enemies?
No!
It was to protect lives from being ravaged by such destructive conflict!
Thor thus put in even more effort.
Just then, he suddenly saw a little girl crying alone by the roadside, and Abomination was about to step on her!
Thor's blood rushed up. He quickly sprinted to the little girl, but it was too late to leave, so he could only shield the girl beneath him.
"Bang!"
Abomination stomped down with immense force. The power was enough to flatten cars into metal sheets, let alone a human body.
"Thor!" Jane screamed anxiously, extremely worried about Thor's safety.
However, at that moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, making the night even gloomier.
"Here it comes!" Fang Yuan smiled slightly.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning fell from the heavens, striking directly where Thor was!
