Chapter 287. Despairing Shukaku (Part1)

Roar--

Breaking free from the Shukaku's grasp, the Hulk tilted his head back and let out a deafening roar. His green eyes were filled with anger, and his entire body swelled with rage. He raised his thick thigh and stomped his foot heavily on the ground, causing the solid surface to emit a brittle moan. The Hulk extended his large fingers and plunged them into the hard ground, grabbing a huge slab of concrete and smashing it fiercely toward Shukaku.

Under immense force, the slab flew out like a heavy artillery shell.

As it watched the giant slab flying straight towards it, Shukaku opened its mouth, and in the next moment, a massive wind ball appeared.

[Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet]

The tremendous power of the Air Bullet shook the air, forming a fierce gale that swept up yellow sand. The instantaneously produced terrifying power directly pressed the angry Hulk down onto the ground, creating cracks like spider webs. Even the Hulk found it difficult to withstand the attack of the Air Bullet at such close range. The violent winds and sands squeezed every inch of his flesh and blood but couldn't extinguish the seemingly endless anger in his heart, but instead made the Hulk even more furious.

Braving the violent winds and sands, he raised his palm and drew five deep fingerprints on the ground.

The Hulk opened his mouth and let out a roar, and every vein under his muscles twisted and turned like roots. Along with this came a terrifying power that surged from within him. With the enormous power added, the Hulk seemed to break free from the constraints of the Air Bullet in an instant and leaped fiercely, like a cannonball, towards Shukaku. He wildly swung his fist and smashed it toward him.

Boom, boom, boom—

Under the repeated pushes of anger, Hulk's body expanded from its original size of only the size of Shukaku's claw to about half its size. His thick arms fell onto Shukaku, smashing the monster made of sand backward with a small step.

There was no joy on Hulk's ferocious face. On the contrary, he roared angrily, and his arms fell toward Shukaku like raindrops, taking away large pieces of sand from its body. The whole scene looked as if Hulk was the savage beast, venting his own anger rather than Shukaku.

"Seeing that, why do I feel like we're the villains?"

Hulk's eruption was somewhat unexpected for the members of the Avengers, but it was also somewhat expected.

Watching Shukaku repeatedly retreat under Hulk's attack, Tony raised his eyebrows and made an unfunny joke.

"Be careful, this big monster is not that easy to defeat."

Waving his Mjolnir, Thor calmly warned.

Although Hulk, with his sudden burst of terrifying power, was constantly pressing down on Shukaku, Thor noticed that even under Hulk's powerful attacks, Shukaku didn't show any signs of falling.

"I am well aware of that."

Tony, who had been fighting Shukaku since a moment ago, tried to find an opportunity to join the fight. But the violent Hulk not only suppressed Shukaku but also made the Avengers reluctant to join in. After all, the angry Hulk didn't care whether it was a teammate or not. Anyone who dared to join the battle would definitely receive a beating, just like Shukaku on the opposite side.

.....

"Does anger make Hulk stronger?"

Inside the antique shop, Ryan, who was observing the battle in Chinatown, saw the scene of his clone being constantly beaten by the Hulk. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

He naturally understood the Hulk's ability, which was said to infinitely increase in strength as long as his anger reached its limit.

But through his own clone's personal experience, he could feel the terror of that ability to some extent.

With the impetus of anger, the Hulk's power was simply multiplied. In fact, if it weren't for the immense weakening and resistance ability that Shukaku had against the Hulk's straightforward physical attacks, perhaps a slightly weaker clone would have already been beaten to death by the Hulk.

"We can't let this drag out for too long."

As Ryan's thoughts turned inside the antique shop, Shukaku, who had been suppressed by the Hulk in Chinatown, also began to change.

Raising both claws to block the Hulk's attack, Shukaku opened his mouth and fired a [Wind Release: Sand Buckshot], slightly hindering the Hulk's frenzied attack. Immediately after, the claws heavily hit the ground, and a large amount of yellow sand began to pile up and transform into a huge pyramid under its control, directly trapping the Hulk in the middle. [Desert Layered Imperial Funeral Seal]!

Roar--

Faced with the layers of sand wrapping around him, the green giant let out an angry roar and swung his thick arms in a frenzy, but no matter how he struggled, a large amount of sand still mercilessly wrapped around his body. With Shukaku's sand body and curse seal, the [Desert Layered Imperial Funeral Seal] became even more solid, not even allowing air to pass through.

"We can't let him trap Hulk!"

Tony had previously been trapped by Shukaku using sand, and seeing the gradually forming pyramid in front of him, as well as the Hulk struggling more and more under the sand, he quickly shouted.

In fact, the Avengers understood it without needing Tony's warning.

Thor lifted his Mjolnir and summoned lightning to strike Shukaku.

Boom, boom, boom--

The lightning struck Shukaku's head, chopping off more than half of its face, but it still couldn't stop more and more sand from gathering on the Hulk. Under the cover of a large amount of yellow sand, although the Hulk still tried to swing his fists, his breathing had already begun to weaken.

Thump, thump, thump—

In the distance, Hawkeye shot three arrows in a row, trying to interrupt Shukaku's actions, but it didn't have the effect he expected.

The more critical the situation, the calmer Steve's inner self became. His gaze swept over Shukaku's massive body in front of him, and he immediately noticed the part of his arm that had been connected to the pyramid and the curse mark that spread from Shukaku's body to the pyramid.

Although he didn't know the effect of the curse mark, Steve's intuition told him that this was the key.

"The patterns that're spreading from its arm to the pyramid, we have to cut off the part that connects the arm and the pyramid!"

Raising his shield, Steve rushed towards Shukaku with no hesitation.
