Chapter 327: Hulk Joins the Gang

Night falls.

The Joint Dark Energy Operations Department, which was established two months ago by S.H.I.E.L.D., is carrying out an emergency evacuation of scientific researchers and supplies while the staff who were supposed to be taking a break are now doing so.

In the chaos, a helicopter landed vertically, Agent Hill walked out first, followed by Nick Fury in a leather jacket.

When Coulson, the head of the base, saw the two men, he quickly went to greet them.

"How bad is it?"

"That's the worst part, sir, we don't know what's going on."

Coulson said with some concern.

Without exchanging pleasantries, the three of them hurried into the elevator leading to the underground base.

This base was a secret base opened by SHIELD during the period of cleaning out Hydra. The person in charge, Coulson, is the person Nick Fury trusts the most. Almost all the staff in the base are newcomers, and the researchers are innocent and have nothing to do with Hydra.

Among them is Cheng Long’s old friend Eric.

At this moment, a group of scientific researchers led by Eric and SHIELD agents are studying a cube that flashes crystal blue light.

The object being studied is none other than the Cosmic Cube, the Space Gem among the six Infinity Stones.

After instructing Hill and Coulson, Nick Fury walked into the hall and immediately asked Eric about the situation.

"…The Cube is not only active, but also does its own thing…"

"Did you try unplugging it?"

"It is an energy source in itself. When we turn off the power, it turns on again... If we let it reach its peak..."

"Isn't that our goal? To draw energy from the universe..."

"No, we are not ready yet. My calculations will take some time to complete..."

Nick Fury didn't understand scientific things, so after briefly understanding the situation, he asked about the whereabouts of Hawkeye Barton.

Although Barton, Melinda, and Crossbones joined the Avengers, they did not resign from SHIELD and become SHIELD agents of the Avengers. Only Natasha resigned.

Because Natasha needs to spend a lot of time practicing and improving her personal strength, and the Alliance also needs her as a liaison to maintain friendly relations with the Magic Doctor, Natasha spends most of her time at home. Barton, Crossbones and Melinda, as before, move wherever they are needed and are very dedicated.

"…If there is a problem, it won't be our problem."

Patton jumped down from a hidden corner, first quietly denied the possibility that Eric and others were doing something tricky, and then expressed his personal opinion.

"our side?"

"You said that the Cosmic Cube is a door to the universe. Since it is a door, it is possible that it can be opened from both sides..."

Just as Barton and Nick Fury were talking in a low voice, the Rubik's Cube suddenly reacted, shaking and stimulating a strong pulse, which then formed a beam of energy and opened a space channel on a platform not far away.

After a few seconds.

The energy of the Cosmic Cube dissipated in all directions, and the space gate disappeared.

When the blue light disappeared, a figure appeared in the place. It was the second prince of Asgard wearing a horned helmet - Loki, the god of lies!

Upon seeing this, the security personnel consciously raised their weapons and surrounded them in a fan shape.

Nick Fury said, "Sir, please put down your spear."

Upon hearing this, Loki looked down at the weapon in his hand. This was the Mind Scepter lent to him by Thanos, so how did it become a spear?
But he had no intention of explaining, instead he suddenly fired a beam of energy at the broken boiled egg.

Barton was quick-witted and tackled Nick Fury in the first place, preventing the director from getting hurt.

At the same time, Loki quickly pounced on the gunmen who were surrounding him.

A few mere agents could certainly not be Loki's match.

In just over ten seconds, Loki took control of the situation. While taking away the Cosmic Cube, he also used the Mind Scepter to control Agent Barton and Professor Eric for his own purposes.

……

After one hour.

Military, inside a base.

Bruce Banner, dressed in a white coat, accompanied by his future father-in-law, General Ross, entered an office with some trepidation.

He was accompanied by his girlfriend Betty.

The person the three men met on this trip was none other than the Black Widow Natasha, who had received an urgent mission and came to recruit people to join her gang.

Cheng Long had nothing to do, so he followed along.

It was precisely because of his arrival that Banner became uneasy, and even General Ross became nervous.

In the past few months, the evil doctor Mr. Cheng has killed more than ten thousand people at will. Even though those who died deserved it, it still scared Ross, who had ill intentions towards him.

and……

Ross also wanted to regain his youth, so he secretly collected more than 700 death row prisoners without telling his daughter and future son-in-law. He was only two hundred short of the total of 1,000 and would gain ten years of youth.

In fact, what he wanted at the beginning was someone who was 20 or 30 years younger. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of death row prisoners nowadays, and the competition is too fierce. Those with power cannot compete with those with money.

Capital tycoons in the United States and Europe have already raised the price of a death row inmate to $300,000.

General Ross simply could not come up with so much money, so he could only find ways to carry out projects and ask the Ministry of Defense for military funds, and then deduct part of the military funds for personal gain.

This kind of thing is what the current SHIELD director Nick Fury is best at. No one knows how much of the operating funds this guy obtained from the United Nations he secretly withheld.

Otherwise, the secret base of boiled eggs all over the world cannot be built at all...

"Banner, this is the second prince of Asgard. An hour ago, he opened the cosmic channel without authorization and stole the treasure of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret research..."

"Based on the characteristics of the Cosmic Cube and Loki's behavior of heading straight for the Cube, there is a high probability that he wants to use the Cosmic Cube to open a cosmic channel and prepare for the invasion of the Earth by the person behind the scenes."

"The war is about to begin, we need to unite all our forces!"

Natasha took out the information sent by Coulson and handed it to the gentle Mr. Hulk Banner with emotion.

The Hulk in front of him was not the one from the Avengers, but the one from the movie The Incredible Hulk. He was thin and gentle. Cheng Long felt that his potential was much higher than that of the Avengers.

At least he shouldn't be driven into autism by Thanos, so that Banner in Avengers 3 needs to borrow Tony's anti-Hulk armor to be able to play a role on the battlefield and deal with some miscellaneous soldiers.

"So, you want me to turn back into that irrational green-skinned monster who only knows how to cause destruction?" Banner's expression changed after looking at the treatment in front of him.

He had finally injected the inhibitory serum to curb the monster in his body, and he didn't want to change back.

He hadn't had an attack in the past few months, as if the monster had disappeared.

Betty also lived a happy love life with him.

It was as if everything had returned to the way it was before, and he was still the outstanding military researcher.

But only he knows that the Hulk is always there, and is becoming more and more angry. Once released, his master, Gabanna, will likely be suppressed by his alter-ego, the Hulk, and will not be able to return to normal for a long time. The more ruthless the containment is now, the more fierce the rebound will be in the future.

"Yes, you use your strength brilliantly. It is more powerful than an army."

Natasha said this not to boost others' morale or to destroy her own prestige.

In fact, among all the extraordinary strong men known on Earth, except for Cheng Long who has not yet joined the alliance, the strongest is the reserve member Banner in front of him.

With her third-level Qi training and the physical fitness of a super soldier, she is just a bigger ant in front of the Hulk.

"But my power is totally uncontrollable, and because I suppressed it, it has become extremely violent. If I give it a chance, I might disappear!"

At this point, Banner glanced at Betty beside him and gently grabbed her hand, "You two, please go back!"

Betty followed up by saying, "Ms. Natasha, the one next to you is more powerful than Banner and will not lose control. I think with him around, there is no need for Banner to intervene."

"Banner, this is a matter of global security, you..."

"Let me do it!"

Before Natasha could finish her words, Cheng Long interrupted with a smile: "Ms. Betty, although you and Banner are living a happy life now, both you and Banner know very well that this kind of life will not last long. You don't want to do that at night. Banner suddenly gets emotional and... "

Banner: “…”

Betty: “…”

Although Cheng Long did not finish his words, they all understood that this situation was indeed possible.

After all, when Ross was capturing the Hulk, Banner had secretly met Betty, and then the two of them... kissed passionately and rolled around on the bed in the hotel.

As a result, after just a few minutes of intimacy, Banner's heartbeat began to beat abnormally. If Banner had not pulled away in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Seeing Betty and Banner fall silent, General Ross, who is cunning and sly, immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, since you have spoken, you must have a way to solve it, am I right?"

"Yes, I can solve it. Banner will be cured once and for all. From now on, we don't have to worry about losing control of his emotions. But it depends on what Banner chooses."

Cheng Long looked at the three people opposite him with a smile, a faint smile on his lips.

The loss of control problem that gave Banner a headache was just child's play in front of him, and there were many ways to solve it.

"Mr. Cheng, can you really help me?" Banner said excitedly.

"Of course, if I'm not sure, I won't speak casually."

"Help me, please..." Banner stood up excitedly and begged, "I can pay any price. Mr. Cheng, I want to return to normal so much."

"I have three options for you to choose from..."

"One, take the initiative to accept Hulk and merge with him. I will ensure that after your dual personality merges, it will be Hulk that disappears."

"Second, I will use my magical powers to deprive you of your ability to transform."

"Third, I will cast the spell again, but this time I will not deprive you of your power. Instead, I will extract Hulk's power and refine it into a special golden elixir. Then you only need to learn a technique from me, and you will be able to slowly refine this golden elixir and make it the source of your power."

If Banner takes the third way, I believe it won't take long before he becomes a Jindan realm cultivator, and a special Jindan realm expert who is far superior to ordinary Jindan cultivators.

Because Hulk's strength is unmatched by ordinary Jindan cultivators, his magic attack is still better, but in close combat, he is almost invincible in the same realm.

Unfortunately, after much hesitation, Banner finally chose to merge with Hulk.

The first option was that Banner would take a different path in the future and successfully eliminate his secondary personality, becoming a rational Hulk.

As for the second item, Banner hardly considered it. No matter how much he feared the Hulk, he was unwilling to lose this hard-earned powerful strength.

The third option can be chosen, but Banner is not very reassured and is afraid that there may be something fishy going on.

He had never been exposed to spiritual practice, and did not know what a golden elixir or a primordial spirit was. He only knew that Hulk's power had been drained away a little bit. So the person who would eventually accept the golden elixir might not be him, Bruce Banner!

This special golden elixir can be given to anyone.

I have to say that people who can get seven doctoral degrees have flexible minds and can analyze the pros and cons clearly.

"Banner, since you have chosen the first option, I will let go of your spiritual world as you wish..." As Cheng Long's voice sounded, a terrible mental shock suddenly invaded Banner's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment he entered the other party's sea of ​​consciousness, Cheng Long discovered that Banner had a different personality, a phantom that looked like the Hulk but had the thoughts of a child of only a few years old.

Locked by a mysterious white chain, the chain is already full of cracks. It will fall apart in two or three weeks at most. Then Hulk will be freed and dominate Banner's spiritual world.

As for Banner?

The entire spiritual sea of ​​consciousness belongs to Banner, and the Hulk in the sea of ​​consciousness is just another personality of Banner who is not accepted and is becoming more and more angry.

"who are you?"

"Why did you appear in my world?"

Hulk, locked with white chains, stared at Cheng Long, the intruder, with bloodshot eyes.

"Of course you invited me in."

"Impossible, how could I possibly invite an outsider like you into my spiritual world?"

'Hulk' didn't believe in his heart that Cheng Long was just a hateful invader.

"Why not? Banner is you, and Hulk is you. You are the same person."

Say it.

Cheng Long pointed his finger, and a bright black magic power instantly invaded Hulk's body. Then cracks appeared on Hulk's body, and dazzling black light burst out.

"Hulk, goodbye!"

As Cheng Long finished his words, Hulk's huge body split into countless pieces, turned into green light, and fell into Banner's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

Killing Banner's alter ego Hulk with one finger was Cheng Long's promise to him.

Only Hulk died.

Only then can Banner master the powerful force that originally belonged to him.

Almost at the moment when Hulk was annihilated, the originally handsome and elegant Bruce Banner began to swell up uncontrollably.

In a blink of an eye, he turned into the Hulk who only knew how to smash and destroy things!
"Betty!"

General Ross, who knew how powerful the Hulk was, immediately pulled his daughter behind him and looked at Banner with vigilance.

"Father, it's okay, this is Banner..."

Out of intuition, when Banner transformed into the Hulk this time, Betty immediately realized that this Hulk was different from the ones she had seen before.

This time, there was no desire for destruction in the Hulk's eyes, only disbelief from the bottom of his heart.
