The effect of the mutagen amazed him, and he admired Dr. O'Neill, who had researched it, regretting the untimely death of the scientist.
However, the mutagen also made Banner think about his own condition.
Could the mutagen be used to suppress the Hulk within him, or even... destroy the Hulk entirely?
Banner felt a surge of hope.
The immense power that the Hulk had given him had never made him feel like a hero; instead, it had plunged him into chaos and despair after years of running and hiding.
At this moment, suppressing the uncontrollable force within him seemed like his greatest hope.
Elsewhere...
After leaving the Ninja Turtles' hideout, Anton returned to the Daily Bugle .
"Foot clan has started to act!" Eddie called, his voice filled with excitement.
At this time, his position is inside the TCRI laboratory building.
With the help of Venom, he easily broke through the defenses of the remaining forces of the foot clan and quietly entered the interior. As for the building's internal monitoring systems, with cyborg's assistance, they posed no threat to him.
The foot clan had no idea that their every move was under the surveillance of Anton and his allies.
Dr. Stockman looked excited. The female ninja, Karai, stood beside Shredder, who had just been rescued. She looked forward eagerly, as if she had already seen the foot clan sweeping across the world with Shredder as their ruler.
Flashback: One day ago
Phil was holding Dr. Stockman and the female ninja, Karai, aboard a smuggled cargo ship from Brazil, late at night.
With years of training, Karai freed herself from her restraints, taking advantage of Phil's momentary distraction. She stole the teleportation device from him and freed Stockman.
As the two escaped, they were shocked to discover that the teleportation device, originally split into three parts, had now been completed.
They quickly figured out what had happened: that silver robot had effortlessly wiped out an army and turned the flying base into ruins. Before heading to the base, the robot had recovered the final fragment from another monster and combined all three pieces into one.
However, according to Stockman's experience, a complete teleportation device requires a massive amount of energy. This was likely the reason why Phil, even after mastering the full device, still chose to smuggle it back to New York rather than use it immediately.
The two, now freed, quickly contacted the remaining members of the foot clan. First, they returned to New York, then arrived at the TCRI experimental building, activated the teleportation device, and successfully rescued Shredder.
Upon being rescued, Shredder, wide-eyed, was overwhelmed with ambition. The fire in his eyes seemed almost tangible as he began to explain everything.
"Alien Krang!"
When Schrader spoke, Stockman and Karai could hardly believe it.
Aliens really exist!
Moreover, the teleportation device was alien technology!
Stockman, however, wasn't as shocked. After obtaining a fragment of the teleportation device, he had conducted thorough research into its authenticity and origin. Finally, he came to a conclusion:
It was impossible for today's Earth to have such an epoch-making technology. So, if it was impossible, then the only remaining possibility was that it was real.
Stockman was also thrilled when he heard the truth from Shredder.
If, as Shredder claimed, the teleportation device could help the alien krang transport a Technodrome from a distant universe to Earth, then the future of this planet could already be predicted.
With the alien Krang occupying Earth, Shredder would be second only to him, and the power structure would be entirely redefined.
As the greatest hero, Stockman knew he would enjoy supreme power and status, becoming one of the most influential people on the planet.
As for Batman and Phil? They were nothing more than fish on the chopping block—anyone could kill them. Stockman gritted his teeth.
For him, the fear Batman inspired was one thing, but what he despised more was Phil, who had deceived him for so long.
"Undercover!"
Stockman looked at the complete teleportation device in front of him and sneered, "You will pay the price, Phil!"
"Tsk tsk, it seems Phil really messed up with them!"
Eddie hid in the corner, using a camera to record everything.
Venom amplified his hearing, allowing him to hear what the villains in the camera's view were discussing.
To be honest, learning about the existence of the alien Krang from Anton's mouth surprised him a little, but in general, he wasn't as shocked by the teleportation technology.
You see, the venom attached to him, as one of the symbiotes, is also an alien.
Thinking about it, Eddie wasn't so shocked and took it for granted. After all, Anton had no reason to expend so much energy on a foot clan and send Phil to go undercover.
"Let them be proud for a while," Eddie chuckled. "Later, it'll be up to them to see if they can still laugh!"
Although he knew all the other party's plans and the consequences, there was no tension in his heart.
The Justice League was assembled. The superheroes were ready to go!
It was time to let the people of New York know about the existence of the Justice League and remind them that while New York might be in danger at any moment, its guardian was beyond the reach of other cities.
DC Corporation
Anton sat in his office, received Eddie's report, took out his cell phone, and started making calls one by one.
Hell's Kitchen
Ringing!
Daredevil, Matt Murdock, received a call from Anton.
"What's up?"
Matt's heart stirred, sensing that Anton's call wasn't a simple one.
Soon, his face gradually became solemn.
"I know!"
Matt replied, "Daredevil has been on vacation for long enough. It's time to get back into action!"
Midtown High School
The principal entered Peter's class.
"Who is Peter Parker?"
He looked around and saw a thin young man getting up and waving.
"Ah, my child, someone's here to pick you up! It's a reporter from the Daily bugle!"
"The Daily bugle?"
Peter followed the principal out of class, still confused.
"Have you heard of the superhero rankings from recently? The Daily Bugle seems to be planning to make a ranking of high schools in New York, so they're conducting interviews and surveys with students from various schools..."
The principal smiled at Peter, "Do you know what to say?"
"Uh..."
Peter was speechless, an old sarcastic remark stuck in his throat that he couldn't quite spit out.
New York Police Department
The four ninja turtles were at work when they received the news, instantly becoming excited.
They rushed to George's office.
"Captain!"
Michelangelo grinned, "We're heading out! Batman needs us!"
