Chapitre 100: The Righteous Superhero Serum
Upon hearing Tony's words, Russell smiled and shook his head.
"Let's discuss that when you're on-site!"
After saying that, Russell hung up the phone and looked at the Hulk wreaking havoc on the streets. Originally, he had only planned to bring Banner into the Justice League, but considering the current situation, in addition to recruiting Banner, he might be able to take this opportunity to step into the spotlight openly.
Revealing the true identity of the superhero serum was something he had planned from the start. It was just that he hadn't found the right opportunity.
Now, it seemed like a good chance.
Octopus Monster Industries and the laboratory were already on the right track, and it was time to reveal the serum's true identity. Although the decision might have been impulsive, Russell had already decided and wouldn't hesitate anymore.
After hanging up the phone, he retrieved the Endosymbiotic Battle Armor from the system space, allowing No. 3 to take control of the armor, and gave some orders.
He wasn't planning to put on the armor right now.
As the Hulk grabbed a police car and hurled it like a basketball, smashing it into distant New York police officers, Russell leaped down from a building's rooftop.
Just as the police car was about to hit the officers taking cover behind other vehicles, a white tentacle descended from the sky and wrapped around the car. Caught in the grip of the tentacle, the airborne police car arced through the air, bypassing the other police cars and pedestrians on the street, and flew back towards the Hulk.
Bang!
The returning police car crashed heavily into the Hulk, causing the massive figure of the Hulk to stagger back a few steps involuntarily.
Superhero-style landing!
After flinging the police car towards the Hulk, Russell landed on the street.
Seeing his figure, the fleeing pedestrians around the area erupted into cheers.
The reputation he had built up was now proving its worth.
Ignoring the cheers around him, Russell looked calmly at the Hulk in the distance.
Though the Hulk's appearance hadn't changed much, he seemed off compared to the time at Culver University. The current Hulk looked more like a raging beast, giving off an impression of wanting to obliterate everything before him.
While the exact reason the Hulk had turned into this monstrous form wasn't Russell's concern, as long as the Hulk played the part of the "villain," it was enough for him.
Other questions could be dealt with after this situation was over.
As Russell gazed at the Hulk, the Hulk also widened his green eyes and stared back at him with a fierce expression.
Just as Russell thought the Hulk might turn and run away as he did in the laboratory, the Hulk finally acted according to his current "villain" role.
The Hulk let out a furious roar, sounding more like an enraged beast than ever before.
Subsequently, exuding an aura of rage all over, the Hulk didn't hesitate at all. He charged towards Russell like a main battle tank at full speed.
Thud, thud, thud...
The footsteps of the Hulk were as astonishing as his massive size. Each step he took seemed to cause the ground to tremble slightly.
In just the blink of an eye, the Hulk, who was dozens of meters away, arrived in front of Russell, and his enormous right fist, carrying terrifying force, came crashing down like a hammer, looking like it could smash Russell to death.
The enraged Hulk was charging fiercely, and Russell didn't have any intentions of dodging or retreating.
When he had been on the rooftop earlier, he had seen quite a few reporters and photographers. While he didn't know if they were doing live broadcasts, he couldn't back down now, for the sake of the heroic image of the serum.
If even the hero fled, who else could step up?
It wasn't just about winning or losing; it was about him having to stand here and fight as the hero.
The righteous superhero, Serum, was here!
In this moment, Russell felt as if he were possessed by a man named Certificated Man!
"Arggghh!!!"
Watching the green fist of the Hulk closing in on him, Russell also let out a roar of anger.
Subsequently, his white fist swung out like a cannonball.
Boom!
The collision of the white and green fists, large and small, produced a deafening impact, akin to the explosion of a C4 bomb.
Along with this resounding impact came the visible shockwaves and air currents.
The ground beneath Hulk and Russell shattered loudly, and a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks spread more than ten meters away.
The powerful shockwaves and air currents surged like a tsunami, shattering the windows of the buildings around the street, and tossing debris from nearby wreckage.
Even the New York police officers who were farther away were knocked down by the shockwave.
No one had expected that the clash of fists between Russell and the Hulk would unleash such incredible power.
Not only the police officers and pedestrians nearby were caught off guard, but even Russell and the Hulk themselves hadn't expected it.
The moment their fists collided, Russell keenly realized that the Hulk's strength was even greater than before.
Was this what they meant by getting stronger the angrier he got?
After the fist clash, Russell didn't hesitate and immediately launched an attack.
His left hand reached out towards the Hulk, and the white tentacles shot towards the Hulk like lightning.
Shadow Venomous Multi-Snakes Hand!
The battle at Culver University had already proven that the Serum had an exceptional effect on the Hulk. Although the battlefield had changed now, Russell didn't mind letting the Hulk experience the power of Serum once again.
The white tentacles shot towards the Hulk like pythons.
Just as the white tentacles were about to touch the Hulk, the Hulk suddenly exerted force with his legs, propelling himself off the ground like a missile.
While the Hulk's speed wasn't remarkable, his leaping ability was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he jumped dozens of stories high, ascending hundreds of meters into the air.
As the Hulk soared into the air, Russell retracted the white tentacles on his left hand. Although his tentacles could extend several hundred meters, he didn't intend to do that now.
Since he had decided to treat this battle as the debut of the serum's true identity, he naturally wanted to maximize its value.
Russell didn't concern himself with the Hulk in mid-air.
After all, there were others who would deal with the Hulk now.
Evading Russell's Shadow Venomous Multi-Snakes Hand, the Hulk began to plummet due to gravity's influence.
However, just as he descended a few meters, a silver-white figure streaked towards him like a missile.
Endosymbiotic Battle Armor Initial Unit, on stage!
Controlled by No. 3, the Endosymbiotic Battle Armor crashed into the Hulk.
Then, before the Hulk could react, the electric arc pulse cannons in the palms of both hands of the armor locked onto him.
Swish! Swish!
Two bursts of electric arc pulse energy struck the Hulk's chest, transforming the already descending Hulk into a meteor that hurtled toward the ground.
