"What a sorry state you're in, Stark!" 

Just as Iron Man was feeling perplexed, a slightly familiar, mocking voice floated over from the side.

Iron Man instinctively turned his head towards the sound and saw a figure in a uniform and mask, with a pair of wings on his back, standing not far away. The figure boldly stretched out a hand towards the Hulk in a grasping gesture.

"Satan! It's you!" Tony Stark's eyes narrowed slightly in surprise and delight. 

Although this guy's getup had undergone an earth-shattering change, Iron Man still recognized the voice immediately. Back in that cave in Afghanistan, Satan had left too deep an impression on him.

While Tony Stark didn't personally witness how the Ten Rings terrorists outside were dealt with, the gruesome battlefield alone was shocking enough. Judging from the extent of destruction, it was no less than the current battle between the Hulk and himself.

If Tony Stark had to think of someone who could possibly handle the Hulk, besides Satan, there was really no one else at this moment in time. 

Satan's arrival was truly timely!

"Roar!" 

Just as he was thinking about why Satan would appear at this time, the Hulk's roar sounded in his ears, attracting Tony Stark's attention.

Iron Man had no time to care about anything else and immediately retreated at his fastest speed.

As for the Hulk, who was temporarily suspended in the air by Zhou Cheng's Shinra Tensei? Amidst continuous angry roars, he began to struggle rapidly, and the more he struggled, the greater his strength became.

Gradually, Zhou Cheng was almost unable to control the Hulk.

"The Hulk lives up to his reputation." 

Zhou Cheng inwardly exclaimed in admiration, then suddenly waved his hand at the Hulk, using him as a punching bag.

Boom! 

The Hulk was instantly flung out by Zhou Cheng and heavily slammed into the ground.

But of course, the Hulk would not be affected by this at all. He immediately picked himself up from the ground and charged at Zhou Cheng again with a roar.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed up to Zhou Cheng!

Zhou Cheng was calm and unhurried, once again stretching out his hand towards the Hulk, unleashing the power of Shinra Tensei.

A layer of immense repulsive force appeared, blocking the Hulk's advance. 

But it only blocked him and did not send the Hulk flying like it would other targets hit by Zhou Cheng's Shinra Tensei.

"Roar!" 

The Hulk let out a bestial roar while resisting Zhou Cheng's Shinra Tensei, constantly pressing forward.

Crack, crack, crack! 

With each step, the ground caved in under the Hulk's feet, creating large craters. The sight was incredibly shocking.

"You really think I can't handle you?" 

Zhou Cheng let out a cold snort. With a thought, the power of Shinra Tensei suddenly erupted.

The upper limit of Shinra Tensei's power was incredibly high. Nagato's directly destroyed more than half of the Leaf Village!

Of course, the Shinra Tensei unleashed by Zhou Cheng now did not reach that level, but it was still much more powerful than an ordinary Shinra Tensei.

Faced with a power that had suddenly increased several fold, the Hulk's body shook and he was instantly blasted away.

His body flew out like a cannonball.

Boom! 

He heavily slammed into the wall of a building behind him, smashing a crater into it. Cracks spread out like a spiderweb.

"So this is Satan's capability?" 

Tony Stark, who had temporarily escaped danger, inwardly marveled.

He had always known that Satan was no ordinary person, possessing superhuman powers like the superheroes recorded in his diary.

Moreover, based on how Satan had single-handedly wiped out the Ten Rings base, Tony Stark could naturally guess that Satan's strength was very formidable.

But he didn't have a concrete idea of just how strong Satan was - until now. The Hulk, who had pummeled Iron Man like a ragdoll, was easily knocked down by a wave of Zhou Cheng's hand! 

And it was done remotely!

The gap between the two was truly immense.

Roar!

Another roar interrupted Tony Stark's thoughts.

The Hulk, who had been sent flying by Zhou Cheng, stomped hard on the ground and suddenly shot out like a cannonball.

In an instant, he crossed a distance of over 200 meters and fiercely smashed down towards Zhou Cheng.

"Shinra Tensei!" 

Zhou Cheng still calmly waved his hand, and an invisible energy barrier appeared in front of him.

Boom! 

The Hulk's iron-like fists heavily pounded on the energy barrier conjured by Zhou Cheng, producing a dull, soul-shaking sound.

It was an incredibly visually impactful scene.

Because others could not see the power of Shinra Tensei at all, in their eyes, the Hulk, a huge green monster, was standing in front of Zhou Cheng, roaring, raging, and venting his anger.

His fists continuously pummeled towards Zhou Cheng.

And Zhou Cheng? 

He just calmly stood in front of the Hulk, simply extending his hand.

Yet the Hulk was bizarrely blocked outside, completely unable to harm Zhou Cheng in the slightest.

In the next moment, Zhou Cheng began to counterattack.

The wings on his back spread open and fired a large number of feathers at the Hulk.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! 

Countless feathers struck the Hulk's body like a hail of bullets, forcing the Hulk to raise his hands to defend himself and constantly move his body to dodge!

Although these feathers could not truly injure the Hulk, they could definitely hurt him.

Whoosh! 

The feathers on Zhou Cheng's back flapped and he shot into the air. 

Occupying an aerial advantage, he launched a fierce storm-like assault on the Hulk.

The Hulk roared in anger on the ground, trying to spring into the air to deal with Zhou Cheng like he did with Stark.

But unfortunately, for Zhou Cheng who possessed Shinra Tensei, this move was completely ineffective.

Whenever the Hulk tried to do so, he would be effortlessly blocked by Zhou Cheng.

Phew! 

Watching this scene from behind the scenes, Nick Fury couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed they found the right person this time. The situation was temporarily under control.

That Satan had suppressed the Hulk from start to finish, completely seizing the initiative in this battle.

No matter what, this is a good thing! 

But now, how can we get Hulk back to normal and turn him into Bruce Banner again?

I wonder if Satan is capable of doing something like this?

Not only Nick Fury, but even Tony Stark on the scene was very curious to know the answer.

After all, the Hulk is no ordinary opponent. Simply suppressing him is far from enough, or rather just the beginning.

Iron Man had no doubts.

If the situation on the battlefield continued like this, there's no telling how long Satan could fight, but it felt like the Hulk could go on for a day without any issues. 

Before long, Tony Stark got his answer.

Zhou Cheng, who was in the midst of battling the Hulk, gave a mighty flap of the wings on his back and swiftly swooped down towards the Hulk.

Swish swish swish!

At the same time, a storm of feathers shot out relentlessly, completely engulfing the Hulk's figure.

The Hulk dodged while raising both hands in front of himself to passively defend. 

Just like that,

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Cheng dove in front of the Hulk, then suddenly waved a hand at him.

A tremendous force immediately restrained the Hulk!

"Roar!"

The Hulk roared and struggled again.

But this time Zhou Cheng didn't give the Hulk another chance to break free.

With a flip of his hand, he took out the memory erasing wand he had prepared earlier and pressed it.

Whoosh!

A beam of intense light burst out, blinding the Hulk's eyes.

The Hulk, who had been struggling madly, suddenly quieted down like an obedient baby.

It worked!

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up, feeling extremely invigorated. 

This black technology item from the "Men in Black" dimension was indeed effective, even the Hulk fell for it!

Since that was the case, what was there for Zhou Cheng to hesitate about?

He immediately issued a command to the Hulk: "Fall asleep!"

Thud!

The Hulk's body swayed and collapsed directly to the ground.

Very quickly, the green giant's body began rapidly shrinking, the green color of his skin fading away.

In just the blink of an eye, the Hulk disappeared and Bruce Banner resurfaced.

???

Off to the side, Tony Stark was stunned, even now still having trouble reacting.

Turned out Zhou Cheng really did have a way to turn the Hulk back to normal!

As expected of the mysterious owner of that diary!

However, just what was that silver-white short rod he took out,

To actually be able to accomplish such an unbelievable feat?

"How can this be!"

"Who the hell is this guy!"

The Hydra agent hidden in the shadows was shocked and also indescribably furious. 

Just when it seemed Hydra's plan was about to succeed, with Tony Stark about to die at the Hulk's hands, who would've thought a hero would show up halfway.

He even resolved the Hulk situation!

Who was he, just who was this person!

Whoosh whoosh!

A low sonic boom sounded.

Zhou Cheng paid no heed to the reactions of those around him. With a flap of the wings on his back, he instantly flew away from the scene and quickly vanished.

Afterwards,

A squad of SHIELD agents rushed over from all directions, surrounding Bruce Banner and swiftly taking control of the scene.

However, none of this had anything to do with Zhou Cheng anymore.

By the time those SHIELD agents appeared, Zhou Cheng had already landed in a small alley.

One without any surveillance, of course.

Unhurriedly changing out of his suit and stuffing it into the car he had prepared earlier, Zhou Cheng took out the memory erasing wand again.

Click!

With a flash, he erased the memories of everyone nearby who had seen him.

Only then did Zhou Cheng swagger back to his mansion.

Tap tap tap!

The first thing he did was open his computer.

Using his elite hacking skills, he deleted all the related videos that had captured him.

He also erased some other traces online.

Finally able to relax, he laid down on the sofa in a comfortable position and sent Luo Dan a message: "Mission complete, clear the commission within a week!"

"No problem!"

Nick Fury immediately gave this reply.

Not bad, another 10 million dollars incoming!

Zhou Cheng's mood couldn't be more delightful.

Although he was already a billionaire, who would ever complain about having more money?

On a whim, Zhou Cheng recorded his current feelings in the diary.

...

Mabry's luxurious villa.

"What's going on?"

"The core module of the armor wasn't fatally damaged, so why did the system go offline?"

A bruised and battered Tony Stark was conducting a comprehensive inspection of the armor he had taken off.

The results were alarming as soon as he checked - based on the extent of the armor's damage, it was nowhere near enough to cause a complete system shutdown!

So what was this situation?

"Sir, an unknown EMP pulse suddenly erupted at the time, interfering with all the electronic components of the armor."

Jarvis immediately provided this answer.

An EMP pulse?

Tony Stark was stunned for a moment. This result was very much outside his expectations.

How could an EMP pulse suddenly appear on the battlefield?

Something wasn't right!

Very wrong!

In an instant, Tony Stark keenly sensed something.

But for now, Iron Man had no time to further investigate anything.

Because Jarvis soon sent a reminder.

"Sir, the diary has started updating."

The diary updated again?

Tony Stark temporarily put aside those other matters and took out the diary.

Sure enough, new content had appeared on it.

[I really didn't expect to fight the Green Fatty and even get the Hulk back to normal, smug dog head.jpg!]

[Although I relied on an external object's power in the end, weapons can be considered part of my own strength too, right? So it's not an undeserved victory.]

[Seems like in the entire Avengers, besides Black Widow, no one else can accomplish this anymore, right?]

[I won't make any long-term claims, but at least among the original Avengers, this is definitely worth bragging about.]

[Barton goes without saying, and of the Big Three in the Avengers, Thor is only on par with the Hulk.]

[As for Iron Man, they never fought in the movies, but he just got smashed into pulp by the Hulk!]

[Captain America... well, hard to say, after all he's famous for always being evenly matched.]
