Inside the Primus Building.
Ben almost choked on his water when he saw the Hulk appear.
This was not part of his plan.
He really hadn't expected Pierce to invite Doctor Banner over to deal with them.
Tony, who was also monitoring the outside situation with him, walked over and said with a frown.
"I know this guy. He caused a huge scene in Manhattan once. I wasn't in New York at the time."
"I don't know if they can handle this big guy."
Tony sounded worried.
Connors was indeed very strong, and his physique seemed to be on the same level as the Hulk.
However, the monster that fought the Hulk back then was also incredibly terrifying, yet it still couldn't defeat him. Looking at it that way, Connors would likely have a hard time winning.
On the streets outside Primus.
Connors and the Hulk were locked in combat.
The two giant monsters, just their size alone, were taller than a floor. When they fought, every punch landed like a cannonball!
The Hulk was very strong, but Connors was no ordinary dinosaur.
His body's strength came from genetic mutation, and Doctor Animo's Variometer didn't just revert creatures to their prehistoric forms; it gave them power beyond their original capabilities.
His scales could withstand heavy weapon fire, and his strength was enough to lift tens, even hundreds, of tons!
As a result, in their first exchange, the Hulk didn't gain any advantage.
Connors swung his right arm with great force, smashing it towards the Hulk's throat like a battle axe.
Boom!!
It was like an earthquake.
The mighty Hulk was knocked down with a single blow. Then, Connors transformed into a top predator and lunged at the Hulk!
His claws tore through the Hulk's skin, his fangs sank into the Hulk's flesh, and green blood flowed...
The scene was astonishing.
Nick Fury was shocked.
"He's that strong?"
However, the pain instantly caused the Hulk's rage to surge!
His base strength might have been inferior to Connors's, but at this moment, as his rage escalated, the blood within the Hulk's body began to boil!
His veins bulged all over his body, appearing like azure dragons beneath his skin.
"ROAR!!!"
The Hulk roared, and the next moment, he stomped on Connors's abdomen with both feet, actually kicking Connors flying.
The green behemoth crashed vertically to the ground.
The ground shook.
The Hulk got back up and, like a meteor, smashed into Connors.
Thump!!
Thump!!
Thump!!
Fists larger than a casserole dish rained down on Connors.
Connors's body was so tough that he could withstand cannon fire, but facing the Hulk's fists, he felt immense pain.
He roared and flipped the Hulk over.
Then the two collided again.
This time, Connors clearly felt more strained.
Initially, he could feel his strength surpassing the Hulk's, but now, they were evenly matched, and the Hulk's strength was even growing with his anger.
They continued to trade punches, each blow falling like a missile from the sky.
Shockwaves spread out, making it difficult for anyone to stand.
After several exchanges, Doctor Connors was showing signs of weakness. The Hulk grinned, completely dominating Connors, even breaking his arm several times, which he could only endure thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities.
Soon, the Hulk had beaten Connors to the point where he couldn't fight back.
He grabbed Connors by his long snout, slammed him into the ground, and repeatedly smashed him until he was nearly unconscious. Then, he leaped high into the air, nearly a hundred meters up, and brought his arms, thicker than ancient trees, crashing down on Connors!
"Doctor Connors!"
Steve and Peter shouted simultaneously, rushing towards the center of the battlefield with concern.
Seeing the Hulk's attack about to land, Peter quickly shot two strands of spider silk at Connors and yanked, pulling Connors away from his spot.
Boom!!!
Hulk crashed down.
After a deafening roar, everyone felt the ground beneath them disappear.
The entire street instantly collapsed.
That punch had pierced the surface of the earth!
"Hahaha, Hulk, strongest!"
Hulk stood amidst the ruins, beating his chest with both fists like an ape, fully displaying his strength.
In the ruins, although the others weren't directly hit, the shockwave still made them feel terrible.
Especially Egghead Fury and Natasha, they felt as if their ears had gone deaf, and the organs in their chests felt like they were about to shatter.
Such immense power immediately plunged everyone into despair.
Who would have thought that after making plans, they would suffer such a devastating blow right at their doorstep?
"Cough, cough..."
Steve pushed aside the shattered road debris and stood up from the ruins.
When that punch descended from the sky, he was the closest to the shockwave.
At the time, he had intended to use his shield to block the punch for Connors, but Peter had timely rescued Connors with his spider silk. Thus, he ended up bearing the brunt of the impact alone at close range.
Currently, blood trickled from the corners of his mouth and nose, his ears were constantly ringing, and everything he saw was blurred.
This monster before him reminded him of his first mission after waking up, when he had nearly died at the hands of Animo and his animal friends.
The current situation was equally perilous.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Peter climbing out of the ruins, holding Connors. Connors had already reverted to his human form and was extremely weak.
Peter wasn't faring much better; to protect Connors, he had been heavily struck by the collapsing road.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Can't say we're okay. My back got hit..."
Peter grit his teeth.
Nick pointed to his ear, indicating he couldn't hear anything.
Natasha and Harry seemed to be buried in the ruins.
The weak Connors still had a sliver of consciousness. He closed his eyes and said, "Even if we were okay, we couldn't possibly win against this guy... His strength seems limitless..."
An atmosphere of despair spread.
Steve knew he had to stand up.
He couldn't just fall like this.
Because he had to win this war!
Peter thought, he knew someone whose strength was also terrifyingly immense, but...
He glanced back at the Primus Building. At this moment, Steve had already firmly secured his shield to his arm and was striding towards Hulk.
"Wait, Captain..."
Peter called out.
But Steve didn't stop.
Without looking back, he said, "Spider-Man, you guys do what you need to do. Let the world know that Hydra has taken control of S.H.I.E.L.D. Concentrate your efforts to fight them. I'll hold off this big guy."
"But, Captain, you're no match for him!" Peter shouted worriedly.
But Steve smiled slightly.
"Who says?"
"I can fight him all day."
Seeing Steve's unwavering resolve, Peter didn't say anything more.
At this moment, there was nothing else but trust.
"Doctor Connors, let's go do what we can." Peter supported Connors with one hand, covered his own back with the other, and moved away with difficulty.
However, as the two of them managed to climb out of the collapsed pit, they were met head-on by several dark muzzles.
George Stacy held his pistol, aiming it at Peter's head.
"Chief Stacy..."
Peter looked at him weakly.
He no longer had the strength to fight the police.
"Helpless now, Spider-Man?"
Stacy took out handcuffs, cuffed Peter's wrists, and then took out his walkie-talkie, saying something.
"Spider-Man has been apprehended. Escort him to prison immediately."
George Stacy, his face dark, then shoved Peter and Connors into the only police car that could still start.
Peter was filled with despair.
He had failed Captain's sacrifice.
However, after the police car made a turn, it didn't head towards the police station. Chief Stacy, gripping the steering wheel, asked with clear annoyance, "Where are we going?"
"What? Chief, you..."
"Shut up!"
"When all this is over, you'd better explain to me exactly what happened!"
Hearing this, Peter finally understood. George Stacy had ultimately chosen to believe him. This filled Peter with warmth and relief, and a sense of conviction surged within him once more.
"I will!"
He broke free from his handcuffs and climbed out the window.
"Please take Doctor Connors to the Hardy Foundation."
Outside Primus.
Steve stood before the Hulk.
Compared to the immensely huge Hulk, he looked like a small child.
But Steve clenched his fists.
"Squirt, get lost!"
The victorious Hulk could not tolerate such a weakling as Steve provoking him right before his eyes.
At the same time, Pierce issued orders via broadcast: "Doctor Banner, kill Steve Rogers immediately!"
However, the Hulk was furious. He stomped heavily on the ground, turned, and roared at the agents!
"I am not Banner!"
"Banner is an annoying guy!"
Seeing the Hulk out of control, Pierce, who was far from the battlefield, immediately frowned.
The Hulk was simply uncontrollable.
He already had plans to eliminate Banner, but not now. He would wait until the other party transformed back, and then use the aircraft carrier's firepower to completely destroy him!
As for now, the Hulk clearly intended to unleash his recent anger on Steve.
"Hulk smash you into meat paste!"
He raised his fist high and brought it down hard on Steve.
Steve quickly held his shield with both hands, blocking in front of himself.
*CLANG!!*
It was as if a mountain had crashed onto Steve, sending him flying instantly.
This time, the invincible Adamantium Shield couldn't block the Hulk's blow.
The shield was incredibly sturdy, even more so than Vibranium, but its ability to absorb impact was inferior to Vibranium.
Of course, force is reciprocal.
The sturdy Adamantium also caused the Hulk's fist to feel pain.
But this only made him angrier and served no other purpose...
Steve felt dizzy and his vision went black, but he still tried to stand up.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Leave this big guy to me, Captain."
It was Ben.
