Chapter 34
: Money Can't Change Fate! The Mighty Heavenly Dragon Hulk!
Tony stood there, staring at his soaked shoe tips and the turtle making faces at him.
"Li, what is this?"
Tony turned to look at Leon, his eye twitching. "Don't tell me it's trying to drown my opponent with its own urine?"
"That's Squirtle, the same type of pet as my Bulbasaur."
Leaning against the gashapon machine, Li Ang said in a light tone, "To be precise, its water jet attack is enough to shatter rocks, provided, of course, that it likes you."
"It's laughing at me," Tony said, pointing at the tortoise. "It just gave me a crooked smile!"
"An illusion, that's called confidence." Li Ang shrugged. "Go on, this is just an appetizer."
Tony took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pressed the button again.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Four gashapon capsules rolled out in succession.
White light splashed everywhere.
Four identical Squirtle turtles, each wearing sunglasses, lined up in a row.
They stretched out their little hands in unison, as if they had rehearsed it in advance, and began to spray water collectively onto Tony's trouser legs.
"Jenny! Jenny, Jenny!"
Five turtles danced in circles around Tony.
What was once a secret base full of ruins has now been transformed into a children's water park.
Coulson silently took two steps back, afraid of getting splashed with water, his eyes filled with sympathy.
This probability, to some extent, is indeed a miracle.
"Is this your probability theory, Jarvis?"
Tony forced out a few words through gritted teeth.
Jarvis responded sincerely, "Sir, the data suggests that you seem to have triggered some extremely rare... cute cycle."
"We suggest you change your hairstyle or go to church to pray before you click again."
"Fuck!" Tony completely lost it, pointing at Li Ang and yelling, "It's a conspiracy! There's definitely something fishy going on! Why did I spend ten million and all I got were these spitting pets?"
Li Ang didn't respond, but just gestured with his lips, pointing to Banner who was squatting in the corner dismantling the remaining beginner gashapon toys.
"Look at them, that's called settling down."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Banner.
This tormented genius scientist was sitting cross-legged on the ground, wearing that shimmering brocade robe.
Because of his slender build, the magnificent robe looked somewhat loose, which added to his indescribable Buddhist aura.
Banner was holding a regular beginner gashapon, which was one of Obadiah's previous stock.
He didn't pray like Tony, nor did he act like Thor; he simply followed his heart and gently twisted the knob.
boom!
A magnificent purple light shot into the sky, even overshadowing the blue halo of the intermediate gashapon machine.
At that moment, the air in the entire base seemed to become heavy.
An aura of majesty suddenly spread out from Banner.
A fist-sized, golden bead floated in mid-air.
"What is that?"
Thor's eyes widened, and he instinctively clenched his fists. He sensed an energy from that bead that was no less powerful than that of some divine artifacts.
A serious expression also appeared on Li Ang's face. He hadn't expected that his casual pointing would result in Banner shipping out another product.
[Fahai's Relic (Green Snake Version): Contains all of Fahai's power, as well as Fahai's Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Seal.]
As if summoned, the bead transformed into a golden streak of fire, striking Banner directly between the eyebrows.
"ah!!!"
Banner suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl.
This cry was no longer the humble scream of the past, but carried a power that shattered the soul.
His brocade robe fluttered in the air currents, and the originally loose collar was stretched taut by the prominent muscles below.
It was no longer the bulky green muscles of the Hulk, but a streamlined torso with distinct lines.
On that bronze skin, beads of sweat instantly vaporized.
What's most striking is that a lifelike golden dragon tattoo has appeared on the right side of Banner's body, from his back to his shoulder.
Each scale of the golden dragon was as if it were made of pure gold, and its eyes shimmered with a captivating red light.
Banner's originally messy short hair danced wildly in the strong wind, and his demeanor completely changed.
The cowardice disappeared.
Instead, there is an extreme domineering nature, and... a murderous aura tinged with compassion.
"Banner?" Coulson called out tentatively.
Banner slowly lowered his head, and the green and brown that had been intertwined in his eyes were now completely covered by a thick layer of gold.
He stood with one hand in front of his chest, and with the other hand he waved behind him, his brocade robe covering half of his body, but revealing the menacing golden dragon.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha."
Banner's voice was hoarse and deep, and with each word he uttered, a fine crack would appear on the ground beneath his feet.
Roar!
At this moment, the Hulk deep within his consciousness also underwent a transformation.
The Hulk, who used to just throw punches randomly, is now sitting cross-legged like Banner, his body wrapped in countless golden Buddhist chain locks.
Hulk stopped struggling in anger and instead let out a deep roar, serving as the embodiment of the power of Fahai's relic.
"The Buddhas of Prajna, the Vajra Flame!"
Banner's eyes were wide open; he truly looked like a wrathful Vajra.
He suddenly slapped his palm into the void.
This palm strike was no longer a purely physical impact.
As Banner pushed his hand forward, the figure of a Hulk in a robe appeared behind him.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a golden dragon shadow, ten meters long, burst forth from his palm.
It is a combination of highly concentrated gamma energy and some kind of mystical spiritual energy.
The golden dragon roared, carrying a destructive aura, and crashed onto the base's ground.
Rumble!!!
The entire temporary base suffered a devastating blow.
The ground was shattered like paper.
With a deafening roar, a crater more than fifteen meters in diameter appeared before everyone.
The edges of the pit were as smooth as a mirror, still bearing traces of terrifyingly high temperatures.
The five Squirtle turtles, who had been arrogantly spitting water, were so frightened that they shrank back into their shells and hid behind Tony.
The entire room was completely silent.
Only the echo of gravel rolling to the bottom of the pit remained.
Thor's hand, which had just taken the beer, was trembling slightly.
The power of that palm strike was enough to make even Thor, the God of Thunder, feel his scalp tingle.
"Li, what's wrong with him...?"
Tony was so flustered he could barely speak. He glanced at Banner's blindingly bright special effects, then looked down at the five turtles behind him.
This contrast is like a whale who's spent a fortune on in-game purchases getting god-tier gear being slashed right in front of someone who's wearing beginner gear but wielding a legendary weapon.
This pain is ten thousand times more intense than being stabbed in the flesh.
"As you can see, my second employee has evolved."
Li Ang walked over with a smile and patted Banner's sturdy shoulder.
Banner slowly withdrew from his stance, the golden pupils fading and returning to their usual clarity.
But his muscular physique and the dragon tattoo over his shoulder still proved that what he had just witnessed was no illusion.
"Boss, I feel like... I've gone bald, but I've also become stronger."
