Chapter 135 - Handsome Guy vs. The Hulk

"ROAR~!"

Inside the military base, the Hulk carefully crawled out of the ruins while cradling the unconscious Betty in his arms. Looking at the rampaging Handsome Guy, he let out an enraged roar.

Who doesn't have a girlfriend?!

He didn't care why Handsome Guy was attacking the base. All he knew was that Betty had been hurt because of him.

As for his future father-in-law, General Ross, Hulk couldn't care less.

Compared to Banner, the Hulk was far more violent and impulsive. The only person he truly cared about was Betty.

If Ross died, then so be it. Hulk had long hated that old bastard anyway. If he weren't worried about Betty being sad, he probably would've smashed Ross's head in himself long ago.

Ignoring the panicked soldiers around him who were screaming and crying for help, Hulk feared Betty might suffer further injuries.

After roaring once, he leapt several times across the battlefield and placed Betty in a relatively safe area several kilometers away. Then he stopped a police car.

"Take her to the hospital. If anything happens to her… I'll crush you."

"U-Understood!"

The white police officer nodded frantically upon seeing Hulk's enormous face.

Hulk snorted coldly before immediately sprinting back toward the military base, heading straight for Handsome Guy, who was still wildly smashing everything with his staff.

"Big monster, take this punch!"

Hulk stomped the ground violently, his immensely powerful body shooting into the air. While airborne, he swung a fist bigger than a sandbag toward Handsome Guy's face.

But Handsome Guy reacted even faster.

The moment he noticed Hulk flying toward him from the corner of his eye, his thick left arm—large enough for horses to run across—moved instantly. In a flash of lightning-fast speed, his house-sized fist crackling with electricity struck Hulk first.

Among humans, Hulk was already a giant at over three meters tall, massively built and monstrously strong.

But compared to Handsome Guy's 120-meter-tall body, he seemed insignificant.

Against Handsome Guy's fist, Hulk was barely bigger than a grasshopper.

BAM!!

Like swatting a fly, Handsome Guy backhanded Hulk. The terrifying impact caused Hulk's muscles to ripple violently.

Hulk's mouth flew open as saliva sprayed everywhere. His body shot away like a cannonball, crashing diagonally into a nearby mountain.

A deafening explosion followed.

Rocks burst apart as Hulk smashed through solid stone like a bunker-buster missile, tunneling over a hundred meters deep into the mountain before finally stopping.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What just happened?

Hulk's brain practically displayed the classic three existential questions.

After a moment, he finally recovered.

He… had actually been punched away?

Hulk had always been the one beating others. He'd never suffered such humiliation before. Instantly enraged, his muscles bulged even larger as his body swelled another size. Using both hands and feet, he clawed through the rubble burying him.

Moments later, Hulk burst back into the open air, standing at the edge of the crater as he roared at Handsome Guy.

"ROAR! (You yelling for?! I'll kill you, turtle bastard!)"

Hearing the challenge, Handsome Guy moved immediately.

His massive vibranium staff transformed into a gigantic halberd crackling with lightning as it slashed downward with enough force to split the heavens.

When the halberd moved, storms gathered.

This terrifying strike, empowered by Handsome Guy's immense strength and the Overlord Halberd Art, twisted the air itself. The overwhelming pressure caused even the mountains to tremble.

Hulk instantly sensed unprecedented danger and hurriedly dodged aside.

BOOOOM!!

The thousand-meter-tall mountain was split apart by a single strike, opening a gigantic crack through its center. Rocks exploded everywhere with apocalyptic force.

The surviving personnel inside the military base watched in horror.

Some even wet themselves in fear.

"What kind of monster is that?!"

"Why did our base provoke something so terrifying?!"

"Someone save us!!"

"AHHHHHHH!!"

Countless falling rocks crushed unlucky soldiers into pulp. Others were swallowed by the splitting earth, while some were electrocuted by snapped high-voltage lines.

The already devastated military base suffered a second catastrophe. Only a tiny fraction survived.

Handsome Guy no longer paid attention to the insignificant humans. His gaze shifted toward the mountain.

He saw Hulk lifting a boulder the size of a bed and hurling it at him.

Handsome Guy casually caught it with one hand and crushed it into dust.

Faced with Hulk's provocation, electricity flashed within Handsome Guy's cold eyes. Sweeping his halberd horizontally, he unleashed the fifth form of the Overlord Halberd Art:

"Ghost-Slaying Across the World!"

Lightning surged as the hundred-meter halberd tore through the air, slashing diagonally downward toward Hulk.

CRASH—!

As the weapon swung, fierce winds swept the battlefield. The halberd blade shone brilliantly with lightning, slicing through rock like cutting grass. A massive fissure split open across the ruined mountain as the attack descended toward Hulk below.

"HULK SMASH!"

Hulk roared.

Veins bulged across his body as he used both hands to block the incoming blade.

The instant he touched it, numbness spread through his arms. Tens of thousands of volts surged into his body, blood spilling from his hands.

Yet Hulk still gripped the halberd tightly while his feet slid backward across the ground, sparks flying everywhere.

As the saying goes, "greater size means greater strength."

Handsome Guy's colossal body granted him unimaginable power. Combined with the momentum of the halberd strike, the attack was overwhelmingly terrifying.

Although Hulk possessed tremendous strength himself, he was still far inferior in comparison. Combined with the disadvantageous angle, he could only resist briefly before being launched into the sky, blood spraying through the air.

"ROAR~!"

After sending Hulk flying, Handsome Guy pointed his halberd toward the heavens.

Dark storm clouds instantly gathered overhead.

RUMBLE—!!

Hundreds upon hundreds of lightning bolts descended like guided missiles, all striking Hulk midair.

The barrage roasted Hulk until he was practically charred.

Meanwhile, the mountain behind Handsome Guy collapsed entirely, triggering massive tremors that further reduced the already tiny number of survivors.

Yet Handsome Guy showed no concern whatsoever.

He controlled the lightning, blasting Hulk back to the ground and creating a gigantic crater.

Within the raging storm of thunder, Hulk continued roaring furiously. Despite his battered appearance, his terrifying aura only continued growing stronger.

Sensing something abnormal about Hulk, Handsome Guy became extremely wary.

His vibranium halberd moved once more as countless lightning bolts converged from the skies above, merging into a gigantic beam of lightning that poured into the weapon like rivers flowing into the sea.

The blinding radiance became almost impossible to look at directly. Merely gazing at the blade made it feel as though one's skin would be sliced apart.

"My god… what have I done?!"

General Ross crawled out of the rubble, horrified and filled with regret.

Good people die young, while disasters live long.

Most of the soldiers and researchers were already dead, yet Ross—the one responsible for everything—had somehow survived.

He was consumed by remorse and fury.

How stupid had he been to provoke such a terrifying existence?

But it was too late.

The military base was utterly destroyed, with only a handful of survivors remaining.

All because of his disastrous misjudgment.

If only he had listened to Nick Fury's warning from the start, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But there were no "ifs."

And Ross wasn't the only one enraged.

Handsome Guy was furious as well.

Normally, Handsome Guy would never harm humans. In fact, he would actively protect them.

But the military should never have touched his Xiao Luo.

Today, Handsome Guy had completely snapped.

Everyone… would die.

Gathering the power of thunder itself, Handsome Guy leapt high into the air. His halberd drew a dazzling silver arc through the sky as it thrust directly toward Hulk's body.

This strike—

Hulk could not block it.

And if it landed…

He would die without question.
