Chapter 207: You Are Not Worthy!
"Boom..."
As Ant-Man knocked down a giant Leviathan with a single punch, it signaled that the battle had reached a critical point.
In the sky, silver light flashed as the Valkyrie troops arrived swiftly on their pegasi. Their powerful presence, combined with the Black Dragon Princess, had once again suppressed the air power of Thanos's army.
"It's getting interesting," Thanos remarked casually, appearing indifferent.
"Boom!"
Stark fired a powerful laser, sending Corvus Glaive flying. He was about to pursue him when a tremendous force hit him from behind, sending him sprawling away.
Black Dwarf? Stark guessed.
Looking back, he was momentarily stunned. The laser cannons he had prepared were all paused.
"Hulk? What the hell are you doing?"
Soon, Stark realized something was amiss. Although the Hulk was usually irritable and prone to smashing things, he was still somewhat rational. But the Hulk before him seemed entirely irrational.
More troubling was the collar around his neck...
Is this... a Hulk from a parallel universe?
"Roar..."
Stark had no time to ponder. The collared Hulk struck him, sending him flying, and proceeded to pummel him relentlessly.
"Damn it!" Stark was caught off guard and unable to break free.
"Boom!"
Another green figure knocked the collared Hulk into the air.
"I didn't expect the Hulk from another world to be like this. It's so tragic!"
From within the Hulk, Bruce Banner's voice emerged.
"It's not the Hulk... it's not the Hulk..."
The Hulk lisped back to Banner.
Two Hulks clashed...
The aerial forces of Thanos's army were formidable, but they were no match for the combined strength of the Marauders and Wakandan fighters, along with Stark's drone army. The massive Leviathans were firmly restrained by the Black Dragon.
Despite their smaller size, each Valkyrie possessed the strength to take down the Leviathans.
Thanos had not intended for the battle to end so quickly.
While sending his subordinates into the fray first might seem a strategic blunder, it's a common tactic to let the underlings fight before stepping in himself. However, the situation was dire; if he did not act, his army would be defeated.
Particularly troubling was the Black Dragon. While not the strongest, each time it took a deep breath, it unleashed flames that incinerated many Chitauri soldiers and vanguards. It was as if it was tailor-made for this battlefield...
And what about that giant wolf—Fenrir? Wasn't it supposed to be long dead?
Corvus Glaive had already been knocked to the ground once.
The Overlord Skyblade spun out, blocking Stark's approach to Corvus Glaive. Thanos leaped in front of Stark.
"Tony Stark, is it? I know you."
Thanos said coolly, "In my world, there's also an arrogant Iron Man like you who tried to thwart my rule. Unfortunately for him, I removed his head and made it a trophy."
Stark's expression changed. He retorted, "In my world, there's also a Thanos. I wanted to keep his head, but I'm not fond of shriveled purple mug..."
Thanos narrowed his eyes. "I hope your strength matches your words!"
He was answered with a laser blast.
The battle between the Hulks had intensified.
While the collared Hulk was no match for the Rage Hulk in terms of strength, his beastly fighting style made him difficult to counter.
Besides punching and kicking, he also bit, making Hulk feel like he was facing a ravenous beast that had been starved for days.
Emotionally, Bruce Banner was filled with sadness and shame—this was his otherworldly self!
One Hulk, tamed by Thanos, had become a mere pet! A Hulk reduced to a dog!
Bruce Banner empathized with the Hulk's growing fury and increasing strength.
"Boom—"
With a thunderous impact, the collared Hulk was thrown to the ground.
"You... are not worthy of being a Hulk!"
