*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
At Culver University, where ordinary people had long been driven away, ripples spread across the artificial lake. In the vicinity of the research building, the earth trembled as if experiencing a magnitude five or higher earthquake.
A large number of armed soldiers and military vehicles had retreated to the edge of the grassy field. The terrifying battle between the two monsters on the grassland would likely be unforgettable for the soldiers present throughout their lives.
The dark demon grinned slightly as it pinned Hulk to the ground and relentlessly swung the hammer-formed left fist.
Each hammer blow was powerful, containing at least tens of tons of terrifying impact.
Direct hits from that hammer-like fist drove Hulk to the ground, causing his brain to buzz and he was unable to respond. He could only let out a reluctant growl, his green eyes wide with anger.
The earth continued to tremble and shake, the grassy field now a barren stretch of land. The ground had sunk more than half a meter, and tufts of grass and dust were scattered in the air.
Kyle sneered as hot air escaping from his mouth with every breath. Despite rapidly depleting his physical functions, his movements showed no signs of fatigue or slowing down. With a relentless assault like a violent storm, he kept Hulk firmly suppressed under his fist.
It was easy to knock Hulk down, but killing him was much more difficult, and there was no need for it.
To subdue and capture Hulk, other methods like powerful electrical shocks and technological cages were impractical. The only effective method was the oldest one: Knock him unconscious with violence.
Hulk was indeed resistant, but with enough force, he would eventually become dazed and revert to his human form.
"My strength is definitely sufficient, so is it that I'm not hitting the right spot? Why hasn't he passed out yet?" Kyle muttered and his eyebrows furrowed as he raised the heavy hammer, landing a heavy blow on Hulk's chin. This caused him to push backward, using his back like a bulldozer, pushing dirt until he was over ten meters away.
Kyle sprinted after him, hitting him in a different spot. It felt like a game of Whac-A-Mole. Hulk's head was pounding, his hair flattened, but he was still conscious.
At the edge of the grassy field, Elizabeth watched Hulk taking the hammer blows and was about to rush forward. But she was quickly stopped by her father, General Ross.
The vice-commander took charge of the military, and seeing Hulk was on the ropes, he quickly summoned several armed soldiers and instructed them to reveal the secret weapons on the military vehicles...
*Boom!*
A heavy impact like an explosion sent Hulk flying again.
Kyle's robust chest heaved, breathing out scorching breaths. Although he had depleted more than half of his strength, his crimson eyes were shining brighter and brighter.
Through this training session of Hulk being his punching bag, he had become more proficient with the Hammer Form. The feeling of exerting his strength was increasingly smooth and enjoyable.
Hulk, after being struck on the head, was dazed for a short time. The duration had gone from less than half a second at first to around two to three seconds.
"It can be done. I can knock him out and subdue him! This time, I've won!" Kyle grinned and backed up, dragging the heavy hammer with his left hand, charging towards Hulk.
Hulk lay on the ground, shaking his head left and right, trying hard to stand up from the ground.
Just then, the humming sound of cars entering the area sounded from the surroundings.
Kyle turned to look at the source of the noise, seeing two military vehicles starting up nearby. The back covers of the vehicles had been pulled back, revealing instruments resembling massive loudspeakers. These devices, separated by ten meters, were both aimed squarely at Hulk on the grass.
"Wait, they can't be..." Kyle abruptly stopped in his tracks and a vague sense of foreboding rose within him.
Then, under the order of the vice-commander standing by, the sound devices were immediately activated, emitting a powerful and piercing sonic wave. The sound waves took on physical form, forming a continuous barrage of airwaves that collided and hit Hulk just as he was trying to stand up.
Hulk gritted his teeth, resisting with all his might in the relentless clash of two Sonic waves.
On the other side, despite not being in the direct path of the Sonic wave, Kyle, clad entirely in Venom, had retreated more than ten meters.
Amidst the expanding ripples of the Sonic Waves, he appeared as if he had been struck heavily, falling straight to the ground. Injured and clutching his ears, his face contorted in even more pain than Hulk's.
In his mind, Venom let out a scream of agony!
Despite being an adult and far more powerful than he was at birth, Venom still had a fatal flaw!
It was extremely sensitive to high temperatures and sound waves...
In the first moment, the armed suit on Kyle's left arm had to be disengaged, followed by the gradual melting of his dark outer layer, like frost under the sun.
Clearly, Venom could no longer maintain its symbiotic state.
Upon witnessing this, General Ross widened his eyes and gritted his teeth, growling, "Who activated the Supersonic waves?!"
The vice-commander turned around upon hearing this and scratched his head inexplicably, saying, "Huh, what's going on?"
Facing the baptism of Sonic Waves, Hulk growled angrily. He suddenly picked up the outer shells of two military vehicles from the ground, using one as a shield and violently swinging the other.
*Pūtch!*
The vice-commander hadn't even turned around when he was turned into a pile of minced meat by one of the shells. The military protective iron armor didn't lose any momentum, slicing the Sonic device behind into two halves!
Hulk made an astonishing leap, flying over ten meters and smashing the other Sonic device on top of the second military vehicle to smithereens. The parts clattered to the ground.
Hulk stood on a pile of scrap metal and scanned the surroundings. The armed soldiers, their fighting spirit extinguished, were retreating.
Hulk didn't pursue; his furious and raging gaze fell upon a certain spot thirty meters away.
There, Kyle had reverted to his human form, recovering from the grassy ground. His face was slightly pale, and he looked as if he had been pulled out of water, with sweat dripping down his casual attire.
"Fear not a god-like opponent, but rather a pig-like teammate. This saying is indeed true," Kyle sighed helplessly. He pinched the Venom card and put it back into the Card Space.
*Roar!*
Hulk roared angrily as if he anticipated a turning point. He lifted Iron armor plates in his hands and hurled them towards Kyle with his full strength.
"Well, It looks like I have to rely on myself," Kyle shrugged. He raised his gaze, his golden eyes igniting with a bright flame. His sweat-soaked clothes instantly dried, and his body began to exude scorching golden flames.
He watched the incoming Iron armor plates without evading. Instead, he quickly raised his left palm.
When the Iron armor plates were within three meters of him, their front ends turned red-hot. Another meter closer, and they melted into molten iron while sizzling as they scattered on the grass in front of him.
"What's going on...?"
Outside the grassy field, all the onlookers were dumbfounded. This was even more awe-inspiring than Hulk's superhuman strength.
But it didn't end there.
Even though they were dozens of meters away, they still felt the temperature in the air suddenly rise, and the weather became abnormally hot and stifling.
