"Hah, I don't have time to play a silly bet with you. Don't hit yourself on the way out!"
But Bruce Banner only paused for a little when he heard Thor's challenge. He continued inside the house, not forgetting to close the front door!
"Stop right there!"
The prideful Thor had never been ignored and disrespected before. He roared in anger, silver arcs flashing along his arms. He then threw the Mjolnir right at Banner.
Of course, while he was angry, Thor wasn't out of his mind. He only threw the hammer to stop the door from closing, not to smash Banner's face!
But do you remember who Thor was? The Mjolnir hammer that he threw slammed fiercely at the wooden door beside Banner, sparkling with electric arcs.
Banner was an ordinary person, so he wasn't able to react. Hulk within him, however, could feel the immense violence that the Mjolnir contained. Hulk and Banner needed the same body to live, so Hulk wasn't about to let Banner get hurt.
Hulk's green giant body, however, can just ignore the energy within the hammer. His priority was the person that provoked and tried to hurt him! It was unforgivable! He must respond with extreme prejudice!
Like a rotten wood, Banner's personality sank, replaced by Hulk's rage.
Time felt like it slowed down, the air liquefied into viscous crawl. The Mjolnir shattered the wooden door beside Banner, still flickering with silver lights.
Banner's body turned green in extreme speed, starting from his face, spreading across his body.
As the saying goes, if you want to live a good life, you must always have a little green on your head, and Banner undoubtedly perfectly explained the true meaning of this sentence. His entire body had turned green! Of course, Banner's green was different from the green that the saying meant!
Banner's human body wasn't exactly weak, but it wasn't pinnacle of health either. That average body instantly bulged like a balloon! The boulder-like muscles tore through his clothes!
A green monster two meters tall with beast-like endurance emerged!
The only clothing left was the pair of dark green shorts. It was made of mysterious material that showed no sign of damage at all...as expected of the strongest divine artifact that surpassed the Infinity Gauntlet!
Banner's honest and kind eyes also disappeared.
What kind of gaze replaced it?
A tyrannical, oppressive gaze!
Rage, boundless anger!
Madness, endless madness!
...
The monster's eyes seemed to contain endless well of all the terrible emotion in the world, threatening an unstoppable rampage that would raze the world into the ground.
...
Of course, Li Yue witnessed everything in full details through his concentrated senses.
The others had only seen an instant as Banner transformed into Hulk!
Hulk's massive body was surprisingly flexible. It had ducked before Mjolnir could reach it.
But perhaps because of his age, Hulk was tempted to catch and throw back the weapon that was launched at him. Hulk immediately grabbed the hilt of Mjolnir!
If it was just an ordinary hammer, its weight would be irrelevant. Hulk would be able to catch it without even blinking.
But this hammer was a special hammer forged in the heart of a dying star, imbued by Odin the Allfather's own magic.
Therefore, despite the hammer being minuscule compared to his body, Hulk was dragged by the hammer! The spectator watched in shock as the sight of an ant slam-dunking an elephant unfolded!
...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Thor, what are you doing? Now that he has transformed, all talks are off the table!"
Tony turned around and asked Thor in confusion. Thor's hammer had whizzed right past his ear, which frightened him.
Anyway, now that Hulk had come out, any diplomatic measures are off the table.
Thor's face reddened as his hammer continuously made shattering sounds inside the house, garnering resenting look from the rest of the Justice League.
"Uh, would you believe me if I said that I didn't do it on purpose? I only intended to dislodge his wall, I didn't expect it to end up like this!"
Whoosh!
Thor explained awkwardly as he stretched his hand and recalled the Mjolnir. Fortunately, Hulk seemed to have let go of it!
...
Roar!!!
With a loud roar, a massive figure emerged from the roof of the utterly wrecked house.
A green monster in shorts launched through the roof, going up dozens of meters before slamming back down!
"Fuck!"
Tony was not wearing any armor, so his ordinary body couldn't survive Hulks smash. He cursed loudly as he scurried aside!
Hey!
However, faster than Tony could react, another figure launched into the sky with a shockwave, meeting Hulk's immense body in midair!
The shockwave howled, like countless invisible blade. A massive crater formed on the ground, raising clouds of dust!
Li Yue took care to hold back his strength. Otherwise, the shockwave alone would've blown them away!
And sure enough, the figure that intercepted Hulk's fall was Li Yue. He reached Hulk's height in the blink of an eye, lightly punching the green giant with his clenched fist.
Bang!
As expected, with Li Yue's current physical fitness that was comparable to Superman, not even Hulk could withstand a mere light punch. The gigantic green body was ruthlessly sent flying down by Li Yue's punch.
Like a meteor, it smashed and destroyed the poor old house!
Rumble...
The dilapidated house finally gave up from the abuse, exploding into smithereens as Hulk slammed right on to it! The resulting dust cloud took quite a while to settle.
"Uh, you didn't kill him, right?"
Tony asked curiously as Li Yue slowly descended back to the ground.
Tony still somewhat trusted Li Yue's character. Li Yue wasn't the kind of people that would kill without reason.
"It's fine. I didn't use much strength. It will definitely be fine!"
Li Yue dismissed Tony's worries, waving his hand to prevent dust from closing in on him. He eagerly waited for Hulk's massive figure to reappear!
It wasn't like Li Yue would be able to kill Hulk even with his full strength. At most he could only injure the green monster. After all, Hulk's body wasn't just for show. It was honestly a travesty that he was sidelined in favor of the "big three" of the Avengers in the TV and movies!
Smoke and dust finally dispersed from the house, revealing a pile of ruins that replaced the humble but perfectly serviceable house.
Crash!...
The ruins trembled, as if something was forcing its way from within…
