Boom!
The Iron Man armor slammed into the ground like a meteor, flipping a parked car and then rolling away heavily.
Boom, boom, boom!
After tumbling on the ground several times, it finally managed to dissipate the Hulk's punch and came to a stop, looking like a dead dog.
Although protected by the armor, Tony Stark inside still felt as if his bones were falling apart, and his head was buzzing.
He was almost knocked out by the Hulk's punch.
"Multiple contusions detected."
Jarvis's prompt immediately sounded in his ear, the caring AI immediately noticing this.
"Yeah, I detected that too."
Tony Stark's mouth twitched slightly.
The aches and pains radiating throughout his body were a clear indication to the playboy.
After picking himself up, Tony Stark noticed the spot on his armor's chest where the Hulk had hit was caved in.
This made Tony Stark even more secretly alarmed.
He truly was worthy of being the one who would later force Thor to submit!
Although his current strength was clearly not at that level, far from it even…
He was still incredibly powerful, not easy to deal with at all.
"Jarvis, it seems like we're in a bit of trouble this time."
Tony Stark, however, wasn't afraid. He just looked at the Hulk in front of him and quipped to his AI.
"It seems so, sir!"
Jarvis immediately chimed in.
"Roar!"
Under Tony Stark's gaze, Hulk roared again, sounding like a wild beast.
Then, with a rumble like a small mountain, he charged towards Tony Stark once more.
Having learned his lesson, Tony Stark was smarter this time. He didn't try to go head-to-head with Hulk. Instead, he raised his hand towards him.
A dazzling light flashed from his palm.
Swish… Boom!
A Repulsor Ray shot out from Tony Stark's hand.
In this state, Hulk didn't even try to dodge, and was directly hit by the Repulsor Ray.
But it had to be said, Hulk was Hulk.
The strength of his body was simply beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
He took a Repulsor Ray from Tony Stark head-on, and only swayed a little, his movements slightly hindered, and that was all.
He didn't suffer a single bit of damage.
Not only that.
"Roar!"
Hulk's roar sounded even more terrifying.
"Sir, he looks angrier."
Jarvis's voice sounded in his ear, delivering a timely reminder to Tony Stark.
"Looks like it. Think I pissed him off?"
Tony Stark had just finished saying this when the Hulk, whose anger had increased by another three points, had already charged in front of him.
Whoosh!
The Playboy suit, piloted by Tony, immediately took to the air.
Then, with a whoosh, it fired a Tear Gas canister at the Hulk.
Clang!
After rolling twice on the ground, the tear gas began to spew out a large amount of irritating gas.
The Hulk's form was quickly swallowed up.
"Jarvis, switch to thermal vision."
Floating high above, Tony Stark looked down at the cloud of smoke below and issued the command to Jarvis.
Whoosh!
Jarvis immediately and obediently carried out Tony Stark's order, and in an instant, the playboy's vision changed.
The scene within the irritating gas was now fully visible to him.
"Oh, this isn't good!"
Tony Stark immediately exclaimed.
Because within his field of vision, he saw the Hulk tilting his head back, staring with wide eyes, and glaring at him, filled with rage.
It gave even Tony Stark the creeps.
Whoosh!
The next moment.
Hulk's legs slammed into the ground, causing cracks to spiderweb across the surface.
His massive body shot into the air like a cannonball, rocketing towards Tony Stark at incredible speed.
"Jarvis!"
Tony Stark's pupils constricted, and he instinctively cried out.
He only managed to utter a name, but Jarvis naturally understood what Tony Stark meant.
Even before he spoke, Jarvis had already taken control of Tony Stark's armor to dodge.
Hulk almost brushed past Iron Man's suit.
With a loud BOOM, he slammed into the building across the way, creating a massive dent in the structure.
"Rrrraaa!"
Hulk dug his hands deep into the wall, clinging like Spider-Man.
He turned and glared at Tony Stark, letting out another roar.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Just like that.
Tony Stark and Hulk were locked in an incredibly fierce battle.
Tony Stark, leveraging his advantage in the air, zipped around, continuously launching various attacks at Hulk.
Trying to find Hulk's weakness and subdue him.
However, it was completely useless.
Hulk was simply an unkillable cockroach.
No matter what kind of attack Tony Stark used, it didn't do anything other than make the other guy angrier.
But fortunately, Hulk couldn't fly. Although his jumping ability was amazing, each jump could send him soaring dozens or even hundreds of meters high.
But Jarvis wasn't just for show, was he?
Controlling the armor to dodge around, though it looked dangerous, he managed to avoid all of Hulk's attacks.
The battle between the two of them had temporarily reached a stalemate.
But unfortunately, this situation didn't last very long.
After all, Tony Stark's absolute strength was, in the end, quite a bit weaker than the Hulk's.
"Roar!"
Another earth-shattering roar.
The Hulk, having repeatedly pummeled Stark, had maxed out his rage. He grabbed a car with both hands and hurled it towards the airborne hunk of metal.
He really did treat the car like a punching bag, throwing it dozens of meters away.
In the blink of an eye, it slammed towards Tony Stark.
Shhh… Bang!
The playboy might not be able to stop the Hulk, but could he stop a car? He reached out and fired a Repulsor Ray.
The car was blown away in an instant.
Whoosh!
But at that moment, Tony Stark's vision suddenly blurred.
The Hulk had already launched himself right in front of him!
"Oh no!"
The playboy thought to himself, This is bad.
The Hulk looked like a mindless beast, but it was actually using tactics!
Bang!
This time, Tony Stark didn't have time to dodge at all, and was directly hit by the Hulk's fist.
He was violently shaken, as if struck by lightning, and was smashed to the ground by the Hulk.
Crack, crack, crack!
A crater was smashed into the ground, accompanied by cracks.
Even the playboy's Iron Man armor had sparks crackling from some places.
It was clear how powerful the Hulk's punch was.
Tony Stark was hammered so hard he almost threw up his dinner from the night before.
It wasn't just that his bones felt like they were about to fall apart; he felt as though half his life had been knocked out of him.
His head was spinning, and he could barely see straight, with everything appearing blurry.
"Now!"
Naturally, Tony Stark, in his current state, couldn't know.
A middle-aged man hidden in a secret corner suddenly had a sharp glint in his eyes.
He immediately pulled out a device, aimed it at Tony Stark, and pressed the button.
Whoosh!
A specific EMP Pulse was released instantly.
Right in the center, on the Iron Man armor lying on the ground, which hadn't yet managed to get back up.
You see, something like an EMP Pulse is actually a specific, invisible energy wave. The human eye can't possibly detect it.
It's not like in the movies, where you can see clear energy fluctuations.
So, after that middle-aged man released the EMP Pulse, the entire scene remained silent and still, without any movement.
It was as if nothing had happened, without alarming anyone or attracting anyone's attention.
However, the reality wouldn't be like that, of course.
"Jarvis, Jarvis?"
Inside the Iron Man armor, Tony Stark immediately felt that his armor's system had completely gone offline.
His control over the Iron Man armor vanished instantly!
However, Tony Stark didn't think too much of it, assuming the armor's complete shutdown was due to Hulk's brutal blow.
Without a god's-eye view, how could he have foreseen that he was being targeted by Hydra?
That's right.
The middle-aged man secretly sabotaging Tony Stark was a senior Hydra agent!
He had been secretly lurking, waiting for this crucial, hair-trigger moment.
So, the question arises.
How did Hydra know that Hulk would suddenly appear in Manhattan, allowing them to orchestrate this conspiracy centered around him?
The answer is simple: Hulk was also a pawn of Hydra!
With Hydra's capabilities, it wouldn't be difficult to quietly maneuver and lure Bruce Banner to Manhattan, then induce his transformation.
In fact, Bruce Banner, the person directly involved, wouldn't even realize it was a conspiracy.
And it wasn't just Bruce Banner.
Afterward, no other organization, including the military, would be able to find anything suspicious.
That's the skill of a top intelligence chief! That's Alexander Pierce's method.
If Tony Stark were assassinated, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar and greatly impact Hydra! But what if he were to die as a hero? If he were to die while fighting criminals?
Wouldn't that be completely different?
It has to be said that Alexander Pierce's plan, no matter how you looked at it, was flawless and without any flaws.
And as it turned out, this conspiracy did indeed work.
"Jarvis?"
"Jarvis!"
Realizing something was wrong, Tony Stark's expression began to grow anxious, and his adrenaline surged in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground started to tremble again.
The Hulk, like a beast, began to charge towards Tony Stark once more.
"Damn!"
The playboy's expression changed drastically. The armor system had completely shut down, meaning he could only operate manually.
But in front of a monster like the Hulk, manual operation was a joke, wasn't it?
What good could it do?
The most fatal thing, of course, was that if the system went offline, the armor would lose its ability to fly, its mobility!
It probably wouldn't be long before he, Tony, would be beaten to death by the Hulk.
However, Tony Stark wasn't just anyone. At this critical moment, he didn't panic. He quickly got to his feet and raised his right arm at the charging Hulk.
At the same time, his left hand began performing some manual operations.
Click! Click!
A micro-missile immediately popped out.
Then Tony Stark manually aimed and fired that micro-missile at the Hulk in front of him.
Because the Hulk was too fast, and because Tony Stark's manual aiming accuracy was greatly reduced, that missile didn't hit the Hulk.
Instead, it hit the ground beside the Hulk.
Boom!
In the midst of the violent explosion, a blazing fire also violently surged outwards.
The surging energy abruptly flipped Hulk's massive body.
But Tony Stark understood that this was utterly useless.
Judging from Hulk's displayed strength, even if the shot had missed, what good would it do even if a missile directly slammed into him?
It would only delay things for a while!
"Roar!"
Tony Stark's guess was correct.
In the very next moment, Hulk, who had been flipped over by the missile's shockwave, climbed back up.
Once again, he roared as he charged towards Tony Stark.
But at this moment, Tony Stark didn't have any micro-missiles left!
He could only laboriously raise his hands again and begin manual control, intending to fire a Repulsor Ray at the Hulk.
Unfortunately, the Hulk wasn't about to give Tony Stark this opportunity!
The playboy had only gotten halfway through his manual operation when the roaring Hulk leaped into the air, crashing down towards Tony Stark like a meteorite.
His two fists, as big as washbasins, were already raised high, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Tony Stark.
The Hydra agents hidden in the shadows couldn't help but curve their lips into a triumphant smile.
If the Hulk pounded down like this, even the Destroyer would be smashed into a pulp! The mission was about to succeed!
Swoosh!
But who could have guessed that at this critical moment, in a flash of lightning…
The Hulk, who was about to smash down on Tony Stark, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Whew!
Tony Stark's pupils dilated rapidly as he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
His heart, which had almost leaped out of his chest, finally settled back down.
Thank heavens, just moments ago, the playboy had once again felt the threat of death!
It was even the same as when he was hit by a missile in Afghanistan.
Both times, death was so close, you could even say he had one foot in the grave.
But, what exactly was going on?
After catching his breath, the shaken playboy was somewhat bewildered.
Why was the Hulk frozen mid-air?
