Chapter 74: Who's the strongest person in New York?

"Why am I not surprised that they attacked my ship?"

Andrew sneered, considering the military more dominant than S.H.I.E.L.D., always attacking whoever they pleased, acting like they owned the Earth.

"Spread the news about the military's plan to bomb this place. It's almost time to end this disaster. Of course, before it ends, we need to teach them a lesson."

Andrew sent an anonymous voice message to Editor-in-Chief Jamison, then instructed, "Trask, return to the ship and prepare your big toy."

"That's not a toy; it's my trump card."

Trask was excited and immediately gave up attacking the flying ship above, while Abomination Number Four roared on the ground, frustrating its opponents.

"I hate flying robots."

Abomination Number Four grumbled, then rushed towards Frank. Frank was good at attacking but not at defending, so when surrounded by two enemies, he was in immediate danger. Barton, who oversaw the situation, quickly jumped to a nearby building to help Frank.

"They can't hold back those monsters. Luckily, the fighter jets are coming."

General Ross put down the communicator, excitedly saying so. Betty was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Bruce is still down there!"

"Forget about that useless guy."

General Ross replied irritably, thinking Banner could handle the monsters, but it turned out he was a comedic character.

With tears in her eyes, Betty pleaded, "Dad, you can't do this."

General Ross snorted and didn't bother to respond. He picked up the communicator to notify Norman, Iron Man, and others to leave.

Ordinary civilians and street-level heroes were not important, but Norman and Tony, being wealthy capitalists, even General Ross dared not easily harm them. After all, America was a capitalist society.

Just then, with a loud bang, a huge, muscular, green figure landed on Broadway. Flames behind him made him look like a god or a demon.

The newcomer was the new vanguard of Rebirth Hell, the mighty Hulk. Clenching his fists, he roared angrily at Blonsky, who was beating Dr. Banner, causing cracks in nearby remaining intact windows.

Hulk's roar startled everyone. At first, they were puzzled, but then they were overjoyed. This furious expression, imposing physique, and ferocious aura... They confirmed it; this was the real Hulk, not the impostor from before.

Dr. Banner, who had been turned into a pig head by Blonsky, was also delighted to see the Hulk. He even felt like crying, never before had he longed for the Hulk's appearance like this.

"You finally came."

Blonsky was thrilled and casually threw Dr. Banner aside, rushing towards the Hulk.

Hulk confronted him head-on, and soon the two colossal figures collided with tremendous force. A circular shockwave roared out. This time, unlike before, Blonsky was the one forced to retreat; he couldn't match the Hulk's strength.

Hulk roared again and landed a powerful punch on Blonsky's face, sending him flying and crashing onto the ground, bloodied teeth falling from his mouth.

This angered Blonsky, and as he tried to get up, Hulk rushed over, grabbing Blonsky's neck and leg, and threw him into a nearby car, smashing it flat.

Hulk sneered, "Weakling."

"I'm the strongest!" Blonsky retorted.

Blonsky roared angrily, got up, and punched Hulk's cheek heavily. Hulk didn't dodge and retaliated with a punch to Blonsky's side.

With two loud bangs, both of them flew backward, hitting the ground. Then, Hulk shook his head, stood up, and pounced on Blonsky.

Blonsky had just gotten up when Hulk tackled him again. Then, Hulk unleashed a barrage of punches on Blonsky's head. Blonsky roared back and managed to flip Hulk, kicking him hundreds of meters away.

Thus, the two behemoths clashed fiercely on the streets, causing havoc. Cars and buildings around them collapsed and shattered under their terrifying power.

Overall, Hulk had the upper hand. His strength, defense, and self-healing abilities surpassed Blonsky's, who could only rely on experience and skill to hold on.

"This is the real Hulk."

Nick Fury, General Ross, and others nodded in agreement. As for Dr. Banner, well, he was not worth mentioning.

"Why not use weapons? Why must it be hand-to-hand combat?"

Andrew shook his head, realizing that he should teach Hulk to use weapons in the future. Punching was impressive, but it might not kill Blonsky, who could heal himself, even after fighting till dawn.

Andrew stood up, ready to end it all. "Using the military's threat, we've harvested a wave of souls. It's enough."

On the street, Jessica Jones, who was rescuing people, looked at the devastating battle in the distance and exclaimed with a hint of fear, "It's terrifying. I feel like if they keep fighting, they'll tear Manhattan apart."

"Please, no. That would result in many casualties."

Gwen shook her head and sighed, "We are still too weak."

"I used to think I was pretty strong, but now I realize I was a frog in a well."

Jessica sighed. "That green monster must be the strongest in New York, right?"

"Definitely not. The strongest in New York is a martial arts master."

Gwen proudly said; that man was her boyfriend. By the way, why hasn't Andrew shown up yet?

Jessica looked skeptical, "A martial arts master? Are you serious?"

"Of course not. It's fake. The strongest in New York is the Ghost Rider, handsome and cool."

Skye's voice came through the communicator; she was a huge fan of the Ghost Rider.

Gwen was about to speak when suddenly the battlefield came to a halt. Specifically, four Abominations stopped, no longer fighting Wolverine, no longer pursuing the Green Goblin, and no longer attacking Frank. Instead, they all looked in the direction of Dr. Banner.

However, they weren't looking at Dr. Banner; they were focused on the handsome young man dressed in a trench coat standing beside him.

Notably, once this figure appeared, Roxanne's live broadcast feed was interrupted, and the audience in front of their TVs could no longer see the live scene.

Seeing Andrew, Dr. Banner couldn't help but retreat in fear. He vaguely remembered him beating up Hulk.

Andrew laughed, "Don't worry; you're just a comedic character now. I won't fight you."

Dr. Banner was displeased, "Comedic character? I'm a scientist, not a comedic character."

At this moment, the four Abominations encircled Andrew. They knew he was more powerful than the Hulk, and they needed to work together to defeat him.

Ignoring the monsters, Andrew asked Dr. Banner, "I have a curious question. Dr. Banner, can you still turn back to your original form?"

"Of course."

Dr. Banner nodded, but then looked puzzled, "Wait, how do I change back?"

Previously, when Hulk was around, he would revert to normal once it regained consciousness. But now, with Hulk gone, Dr. Banner had no idea how to change back.

"It seems you can't"

Andrew patted Dr. Banner's shoulder sympathetically. "You might have to break up with your girlfriend; your sizes don't match."
