The Chasm between Strengths

(⌒▽⌒)☞☜(⌒▽⌒)

===================

Relying on Blonsky's high reputation among the soldiers, they encountered no obstacles along the way until they reached the final checkpoint.

There was a prison cell made entirely of cast steel, with thick walls and no doors or windows. Only the ceiling could be opened by specific machinery, which was now sealed shut. General Ross had no intention of providing Bruce Banner with water or food; in his view, weakening Banner would make him easier to control.

Twelve soldiers guarded the cell, and without orders from General Ross or the Secretary of Defense, no one was allowed near it.

Blonsky was unsurprisingly stopped.

"Hold it, Captain, you can't go in," one soldier said respectfully but firmly, not budging an inch.

"I'm following the General's orders..." Blonsky wanted to continue bluffing, but these soldiers were all loyal to General Ross, and they were equally recognized within the military. They regarded him with suspicion and caution.

In addition, Blonsky's acting skills were inadequate, he sighed and muttered, "Sorry," under his breath.

"What did you say, Captain?" The soldier didn't hear clearly, but in the next moment, he saw Blonsky suddenly elbowing him in the face.

Caught off guard, and with Blonsky's speed far surpassing that of an ordinary person, the elite soldier couldn't react and was knocked out cold.

"Hold it, Captain!"

"Hands up!"

The remaining eleven soldiers immediately surrounded them. Three raised their guns, while the other seven formed two concentric circles, preparing to subdue Blonsky together. As fellow soldiers, they were extremely wary of Blonsky's combat abilities. Another soldier quickly ran to activate the alarm.

"You stop right there!" Blonsky dashed forward, like a raging bull, directly knocking down the soldier blocking his way. Then, he lunged at the soldier about to sound the alarm and delivered a powerful punch.

The soldier spat blood and collapsed, incapacitated.

As he erupted in violence, the remaining soldiers realized his intentions. Three soldiers simultaneously unlocked their safeties.

Just as he boasted, with rich combat experience and peak physical condition, his current state made even himself afraid when it came to fighting.

Blonsky, with the title of king of the soldiers, indeed lived up to his reputation. With a clear mind, he charged into the fray, using the soldiers' bodies as cover. Within twenty seconds, he had knocked down five soldiers.

His rationality remained intact, refraining from delivering fatal blows, but concussions and fractures were inevitable.

Ten seconds later, the remaining four soldiers were also defeated.

However, facing the solid metal cell, his fists and kicks were of no use. The ceiling of the cell required professional facilities to open, which he didn't have access to.

But he had deliberately come to rescue Betty for this moment.

"Wake him up and have him come out to fight me!" Blonsky pointed his gun at Betty's head.

Deep down, he was extremely nervous. Having witnessed the Hulk's overwhelming force, he could only hypnotize himself, saying that the Hulk only had strength and lacked speed, while he was an agile warrior.

But after seeing Daisy's speed, he couldn't hypnotize himself anymore. There was a vague thought in his mind telling him that he had neither strength nor speed...

Although his subconscious had this thought, his subjective consciousness denied it, stubbornly believing that he still had a fighting chance.

Betty trembled as she watched him nervously muttering to himself, constantly repeating phrases like "I'm the strongest" and "No one can defeat me."

She cursed her father for employing a lunatic as his subordinate. But she couldn't resist; this lunatic was pointing a gun at her head.

Since he wanted her to shout, she would.

Betty Ross tapped on the walls of the cell twice, hurting her own hands, not knowing if the deeply anesthetized Banner could hear her. She could only strain her neck and shout as loudly as she could.

It turned out that Professor Charles's research on the human brain was indeed years ahead of the outside world.

His theory was entirely correct: when an emotion is suppressed to its limit, it rebounds.

Ordinary people have a low capacity for emotions, so even when angry, it remains within manageable limits. For example, when Daisy irritates the bald brother Sitwell, the most that might happen is a feeling of annoyance, perhaps followed by a thought like, "I'll eat an extra bowl of rice tonight."

But the Hulk was different. Very different...

His anger had no limit. When his emotions reached their breaking point, the rebound was like a volcanic eruption.

The initial anger was just a small spark, suppressed by a vast quantity of tranquilizers, like an ocean.

But anger was persistent, like a brave and fearless warrior, constantly struggling, constantly resisting.

For every drop in the effectiveness of the tranquilizers, anger gained ground. Initially, it was extremely difficult, but the process of expelling the tranquilizers became faster and faster.

Especially when he heard Betty's shouts through the haze, his rational thoughts were completely buried, and Bruce Banner once again transformed into the Hulk.

The large quantity of tranquilizers was compressed by his rage, expelled through his sweat pores like steam, and a more ferocious and furious Hulk emerged from the cell.

"Boom! ——" 

With a loud crash, he smashed through the metal cell, then continued to punch and smash, destroying one side of the cell's wall and leaping out.

"Roar!"

The Hulk saw Betty, who was being pointed at by a gun this time. His anger was too intense; most of his thoughts as Bruce Banner had been replaced by the Hulk.

While he couldn't vent his inner rage, in his subconscious, the Hulk still didn't want to harm Betty. He chose to leave.

"Stop, you big idiot! I order you to stop!" Blonsky pushed Betty aside and aimed his gun at the Hulk, firing continuously.

The bullets quickly ran out, and he threw away the gun, delivering a flying kick toward the Hulk's head.

The Hulk's response was a punch—no wind-up, no roar, just a casual punch. With a dull thud, Blonsky, who seemed like a lunatic to Betty, was sent flying by a single punch.

He lay motionless in the corner.

"Oh my God!" Betty covered her mouth, surprised that this guy who had shouted so loudly before turned out to be not so tough.

To her, Blonsky was just a passerby. Seeing the Hulk roaring out of the underground building, she hurriedly followed.

She didn't see Blonsky slowly waking up after being beaten into a puddle.

Having been stimulated by Daisy, his once invincible thoughts had dissipated by half. Unlike in the movies, he was wearing a high-strength Kevlar combat suit.

Though still no match, he was slightly stronger than in the movies, where he was shattered to pieces. Just slightly.

He struggled to prop himself up, even with the super soldier serum rapidly repairing his body. He still felt like his whole body was injured, breathing was extremely difficult. He knew that most of the bones in his upper body were fractured, with varying degrees of damage to his internal organs.
