"But you didn't say we'd be fighting in the city."
Banner frowned.
He let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"If I let that monster out, you'll know who the real danger is."
The Hulk had appeared several times, causing immense destruction each time. He was an uncontrollable bomb, even a nuclear one!
Doctor Banner didn't believe anything could stop the enraged Hulk, nor did he think any enemy was powerful enough to require the Hulk's intervention.
"We've already evacuated everyone within several blocks."
Pierce said.
Even though he was with Hydra, Hydra's goal wasn't to kill everyone in the world. They simply wanted to overthrow the old order and establish Hydra's new order.
They wanted a new world, not a wasteland.
"If the situation wasn't dire, we wouldn't want that monster to appear either," Pierce said helplessly.
"Doctor Banner, you've been away from New York for too long and don't know what's been happening."
He showed Banner a video, which was clearly footage collected by S.H.I.E.L.D. of Ben fighting as an alien hero.
In the video, Heatblast was battling a terrifying monster at Stark Tower, Diamondhead was fighting Destroyer and Loki in New Mexico, and Big Chill had instantly frozen an entire S.H.I.E.L.D. base...
Banner fell silent.
He clasped his hands together, his fingers twitching restlessly, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you're not showing me a sci-fi movie?"
"Is there anything more sci-fi than the Hulk?"
"That's true..."
"Now you know why we need your strength."
Banner nodded, then asked again:
"Who was that just now...?"
He was referring to Thor.
Honestly, Banner knew his own destructive power better than anyone. And S.H.I.E.L.D. was comparing that person to him? Did that person also possess immense power?
"This is even more complicated."
Pierce didn't explain. There was no need to tell Banner about matters concerning the Divine Realm.
He had originally intended to recruit Thor to help curb Steve from picking up the Hammer of Thor again, but that Asgardian only recognized his hammer and nothing else.
After cursing himself, he left in a huff, nostrils flaring.
Despite his anger, Pierce didn't dare to do anything to Thor.
Having seen the intelligence on Asgard, he understood how terrifying the Divine Realm was. Even this fallen prince, stripped of his power, was not someone Hydra could provoke.
The best course of action was to maintain the status quo.
After all, the hammer was still under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s supervision for now, so there was no need to worry.
To be honest, if it weren't for the concern about those powerful aliens, Pierce wouldn't even have sought out Banner.
He was an uncontrollable ticking time bomb. The best way to handle him was to secretly kill him after Project Insight was activated.
If Ben knew Pierce's thoughts, he would have died laughing.
Perhaps Pierce believed that if he found an opportunity to kill Banner before he transformed, the threat would be resolved.
But in reality, Banner and the Hulk were one and the same.
Boom!!
As he was thinking, an explosion sounded, immediately drawing Pierce's attention.
Banner tensed up instantly, his skin starting to turn green.
He glared fiercely at his surroundings, and only after confirming that the explosion wasn't something S.H.I.E.L.D. had set up to deal with him did he calm down slightly.
Just then, an agent rushed in.
"What happened?"
"It's Nick Fury and his team, they've broken out of the Primus Building!"
"Apprehend them immediately!"
Pierce shouted excitedly.
He had been waiting for Nick Fury to walk right into his trap!
However, the agent's expression was a little unnatural. He said, "Sir, our firepower is insufficient..."
"Are you f***ing kidding me!"
Pierce slammed the table in anger.
"I've gathered all the tanks from the military in the vicinity, and you're telling me our firepower is insufficient!"
He reached out and grabbed the agent's head, shoving him aside in annoyance before activating the imaging equipment to check the situation on the ground.
As soon as it turned on, a green monster with a gaping maw lunged forward!
Pierce flinched back in surprise.
Then he realized it was just a recording of the scene.
"What kind of monster have you guys cooked up now..."
Banner stepped forward, his tone turning angry and disgusted.
He inexplicably thought of Abomination.
"This wasn't created by us,"
Pierce said immediately.
"Doctor Dinosaur, Connors. Osborn found him before and claimed he was undergoing treatment, but who knew he was hiding in Primus."
What surprised him even more was that everyone was in Primus.
"Doctor Banner, I'm afraid we'll need you to make an appearance soon."
The scene shifted back to Primus.
Connors, whose massive size rivaled a tank, descended from the sky, catching the agents completely off guard.
He charged through with his hardened scales, his dagger-like claws slashing out, instantly tearing apart several enemies!
Given Connors' size, he was like an unstoppable force among these ordinary men, slaughtering them at will.
But S.H.I.E.L.D.'s equipment wasn't just for show. Soon, Connors drew most of the heavy firepower.
Tank shells rained down on him, scorching his scales black.
However, he didn't falter. His bloodlust was ignited, his eyes turned crimson, and his body even swelled by a noticeable amount!
"Roar!"
Connors let out a roar and immediately charged towards the tanks through the barrage of fire!
He caught the incoming shells with his hands, either crushing them or biting them to pieces.
The heavy tanks were like toys to him; he simply tossed them aside, and the steel gun barrels felt as pliable as rubber tubes in his grip.
Immediately after, behind Connors, Peter and the others also leaped down from the sky, joining the fray.
Steve threw his shield, instantly taking down several agents.
Harry, riding his glider, swooped down and unleashed pumpkin bombs, blasting large groups of agents away.
Peter leaped continuously, using his spider silk to subdue numerous agents.
Nick Fury, rarely seen on the front lines, along with Hill and Natasha, engaged a considerable number of agents.
And on the rooftop, Barton provided support from the edge.
"Activate energy shields."
An agent shouted, and the next moment, a faint blue energy barrier flickered open, blocking all incoming attacks.
"You think you can use that trick on us? Don't you know where you are!"
Peter threw a device into the air, and instantly, an invisible electromagnetic field spread out, causing the agents' energy shield equipment to malfunction.
After doing this, he flicked out several neurotoxin discs. The agents hit by them immediately collapsed, unable to resist.
It wasn't just him; others were also equipped with the discs. These discs could release their toxins into the skin even through clothing, as long as it wasn't too thick.
This made it much easier for them to deal with the numerous agents.
"Primus's technology is too effective!" Nick Fury exclaimed, taking down two agents with a backhand.
Steve leaped, catching his rebounding shield. As he landed, he kicked two agents and then used his shield to knock down a third enemy.
Having done all this, he strode onto the roof of a black sedan, holding his shield aloft to draw fire.
That Adamantium shield wasn't just indestructible; it was practically a taunting target, with a dense barrage of bullets directed at it.
Meanwhile, Peter was facing the New York police.
"Spider-Man, surrender immediately!"
Officer Stacy used a police car as cover, firing his pistol repeatedly at Peter.
On a battlefield like this, the police equipment seemed almost comical.
Peter casually shot out a stream of spider silk, yanking the pistol from Stacy's hand, then hoisted several officers up to the building, shouting:
"Officer Stacy, stop! I don't want to fight you. You're being used."
"Shut up, you criminal!!"
"No, this is a conspiracy!"
Peter tried his best to explain. These police officers were different from the agents; he didn't want to hurt anyone.
In fact, Stacy had also sensed something was wrong, but for him, even if there was a problem, they had to apprehend these wanted individuals first and then proceed with judgment.
Peter was constantly fending off the police's attacks, which should have been easy for him. But suddenly, his Spider-Sense went off.
Immediately after, a bomb flew in and exploded not far from Peter's feet!
*BOOM!!*
In an instant, several police cars were flipped over. The police officers at the forefront were caught in the shockwave of the explosion, sent flying backward one by one. Even George Stacy fell to the ground, and as he looked up, a rolling police car was crushing down on him.
Seeing this, George Stacy closed his eyes in fear, awaiting the arrival of death.
However, the expected car did not crush him.
"Get out of here quickly, Chief!"
He opened his eyes and immediately saw an astonishing sight.
A giant spider web stretched across his vision. The web, like a Great Wall, stuck dozens of police cars. The other end of the web—
was Spider-Man!
He caught the fist swung by the attacker with one hand, and with the other, he single-handedly stopped dozens of police cars, saving all the officers.
This scene deeply moved Stacy.
He had found it strange before, but at this moment, he couldn't help but think that even though he didn't like Spider-Man, Spider-Man couldn't possibly be an evil criminal.
But Peter didn't have the mood to consider his thoughts.
He looked at the attacker. The opponent was wearing clothes similar to Mr. Barnes, clearly another Super Soldier.
Not only the person in front of him, but three other Winter Soldiers had also joined the battlefield.
"Be careful, Winter Soldiers."
Nick Fury shouted a warning.
Having been attacked by the Winter Soldiers himself, he knew how terrifying these people were.
However, people's physiques are different. As soon as Nick Fury finished speaking, Peter yanked his wrist, immediately pulling the Winter Soldier attacking him in front of him. Then, he stood up and kicked, sending the opponent flying dozens of meters away.
Then he scratched his head and spread his hands.
Winter Soldiers, is that all?
However, compared to his easy defeat of one Winter Soldier, the others were struggling much more.
Steve was fighting two Winter Soldiers alone. They were also Super Soldiers, and their combined efforts made it difficult for him to cope, his fists and kicks a blur.
Then, one Winter Soldier went after Harry.
Bucky hadn't lasted more than a few rounds in his hands before being defeated, but that was under the premise that he had been fully equipped at the time.
The Winter Soldier attacking him this time had come prepared. As soon as the fight started, he disabled Harry's Glider.
Furthermore, Harry's weapons and equipment had been largely depleted fighting the agents. Even with Natasha coming to help, they were in a tough battle.
The only good news was that his Battle Armor was tough enough.
The Winter Soldier aimed his machine gun at Black Widow with one hand while charging at Harry with a dagger in the other.
Each Winter Soldier was a master of all forms of combat. The machine gun fire made Natasha dare not even peek her head, and wielding a dagger with one hand against Harry, whose direct combat ability was not strong, was more than enough.
However, "Although my presence isn't very high, don't overlook me."
On top of a tall building, Hawkeye switched to a specially made arrow and aimed at that Winter Soldier.
*WHOOSH!!*
The arrow flew out.
The Winter Soldier immediately sensed it, turned, and parried with his saber.
However, the moment his blade struck the arrow, Hawkeye's projectile exploded, and flames instantly engulfed him.
At the same time.
Steve finally dealt with the two Winter Soldiers.
Seeing this, Nick Fury became incredibly excited.
"Do we need to get support?"
"Let's counterattack directly!"
He shouted:
"Pierce, what else have you got?!"
However, the next moment, a terrifying shockwave arrived—
*BOOM!!!*
A green shadow descended from the sky like a meteor, smashing heavily into the center of the street.
In an instant, the road beneath shattered, and amidst the rising dust, the monster's terrifying roar turned into sound waves, spreading out in layers.
"What the hell?"
Peter shouted.
He hadn't figured out what was happening yet, but Nick Fury and the others' faces immediately darkened.
"The big guy's here..."
Damn it!
Natasha glared at Nick Fury with despair on her face.
"Did you really have to ask that one extra question?"
They all knew Banner's situation very well. In fact, Banner's ability to live a peaceful life recently was thanks to Nick Fury intercepting military troubles for him.
But Nick Fury never dreamed that one of his desired Avengers members would be intercepted by Pierce.
And it was the strongest one!
The Hulk slowly emerged from the dust, his fierce gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally landing on Dinosaur Connors, who was slightly taller than him.
Then, he revealed a ferocious grin.
He slammed his massive fists together heavily, then immediately leaped dozens of meters, charging towards Connors!
"Hulk smash!"
