"Roar!"

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Hulk's thunderous roars echoed on the street, and the ground trembled under his massive fists.

However, thanks to Rosh's earlier diversion, Hulk's attention had shifted away from him entirely. Now, the green behemoth was chasing down the soldiers General Ross had brought, pounding them mercilessly in a fit of rage, moving further and further away from Rosh's shop.

As for Abomination?

After witnessing General Ross being crushed to death by Hulk's fists, he had no intention of sticking around to continue fighting. There was no point in risking his life for a dead man.

Retreat was the only sensible choice.

But suddenly, Abomination's body froze as if he had been hit by a paralyzing spell. A moment later, he collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

'What the...?'

Rosh, who had been ready to return to his shop and stay out of the fight, couldn't help but stop in his tracks, looking stunned at what had just happened.

'Why did Abomination suddenly fall? What on earth just happened?'

*Whoosh!*

It didn't take long for Rosh to figure it out. 

From down the street, a very familiar aircraft slowly descended. It was one of the iconic ships of the Marvel universe: the Blackbird.

Though there were several versions of the Blackbird over the years, its design was always recognizable. And once the Blackbird appeared, Rosh didn't need to think too hard to realize what had happened to Abomination.

'Professor X! It had to be him.' Sure enough, as the Blackbird landed, the hatch slowly opened, and out walked Professor X, accompanied by a bespectacled, intellectual-looking man.

It was Professor X and Beast, Hank McCoy.

"Hank, would you mind bringing Hulk over here?" Professor X said, glancing at the green giant still wreaking havoc in the distance.

"Professor, you really still want to call me 'Beast'? That is a real beast!" Hank said, eyeing Hulk in disbelief.

Despite his sarcasm, Hank didn't waste time. He took off his glasses and began walking toward Hulk. As he moved, his body underwent a rapid transformation. Blue fur sprouted all over, and in moments, he had transformed into the hulking, furry Beast.

"Hey, big guy!" Hank sprinted toward Hulk, shouting to get his attention. But Hulk, entirely consumed by his rage, was too busy smashing everything in sight to notice Hank.

"Fine!" Hank sighed. He grabbed a car and hurled it at Hulk with no other choice.

*Bam!*

The car struck Hulk, causing him to stumble, but it didn't do any real damage. Momentarily distracted from his smashing spree, Hulk turned his furious gaze toward Hank, his eyes blazing with fury.

"ROAR!"

The deafening roar made Hank's ears ring, and a chill ran down his spine. It felt like he was a husky standing face-to-face with a wolf!

*Whoosh!*

In the blink of an eye, Hulk leaped dozens of meters into the air, approaching Hank with a crushing blow. The sheer power behind his leap was terrifying even to witness, let alone withstand. Knowing he couldn't take the hit head-on, Hank scrambled out of the way on all fours, dodging the devastating punch.

*Boom!*

The ground where Hank had stood moments ago exploded into a crater, cracks spreading outward from the impact.

"I must be out of my mind to provoke someone like him," Hank muttered as he caught sight of Hulk's immense power from the corner of his eye. His survival instincts kicked in, and he started sprinting away, trying to put as much distance between himself and the green behemoth as possible.

But Hulk was too fast, and he was now locked onto Hank. He chased him relentlessly, his massive fists crashing behind Hank like sledgehammers. No matter how quick and agile Hank was, it was impossible to dodge every blow. Eventually, Hulk's fist connected.

*Bam!*

Hank was sent flying through the air like a missile, crashing into a car and flipping it over before tumbling across the ground. His battered body finally came to a stop when he collided with a wall.

"Ugh! Cough, cough!" Hank coughed weakly, and every bone in his body felt as though it was about to fall apart. That one punch from Hulk had nearly killed him.

'Terrifying. That green monster was terrifying.' One more hit like that, and Hank knew he'd be dead.

"Hank, are you alright?" Professor X called out, his voice laced with concern as he watched the fight unfold. He had known that Hank wasn't a match for Hulk, but he hadn't expected the difference in strength to be this staggering.

The professor's intention wasn't for Hank to beat Hulk; he just needed to lure him over. That was all. It should've been a simple task.

Yet Hank had still ended up battered and bruised.

"Professor, I regret ever agreeing to provoke that monster," Hank groaned as he slowly pulled himself to his feet, his body aching all over. They might call Hank "Beast," but he felt like nothing more than a helpless puppy in front of Hulk.

"Well, Hank, at least you're still alive," Professor X said with relief. "And though you look worse for wear, you did manage to bring him over."

*Boom!*

Another crash echoed through the area as Hulk, in his rage, smashed through a wall, creating a hole in yet another building. Moments later, the green giant leaped out, ready to fight again.

"ROAR!"

Hulk glared at the two of them, roaring in fury. Hank felt his body go stiff. He quickly scrambled to stand beside Professor X, preparing for the worst. "Professor, can't you use your powers on him? Like, hold him down!"

"No, I'm trying something different," Professor X replied, pressing his fingers to his temple as he activated his powers. His telepathy, combined with his unique mental abilities, immediately gave him a crystal-clear sense of Hulk's emotional state.

"What incredible rage!" Professor X was astonished by the intensity.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!* 

The ground began to quake once again as Hulk, like an unstoppable force of nature, charged toward them, roaring with fury.
