"So, you want me to beat you up to see if Hulk comes out?"
"I don't know, but I think I can try!" Banner couldn't contain his curiosity.
To live a peaceful life, Banner wants to know how much stimulation is now needed for Hulk to appear.
"Alright, shall I start?"
Faced with Banner's suggestion, Alaric thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
"Come on!" Banner pulled up his oversized shorts and clapped his hands to show he was ready!
Alaric nodded and was just about to start.
"Wait!" Banner suddenly shouted.
"What is it?"
"If Hulk comes out, can you handle it?" Banner asked worriedly.
"I can. Worst case, you and Hulk will experience that weightless falling sensation again."
"Alright… Just gradually increase the strength, don't go full power right away."
Banner's cheeks twitched; luckily, he didn't suffer from acrophobia, but even if he did, he'd probably be cured after a whole day of falling.
"Got it." As soon as Alaric said that, he suddenly struck.
Smack!
"..."
Banner, who took a slap across the face, stood frozen.
Okay, hit if you must, but why the face!
And so hard!
My face hurts!!
"You…"
When Banner came to, he felt the pain in his cheeks and anger surged up!
After all, anyone who suddenly gets hit would get mad!
Even the honest Banner couldn't hold it in!
"Wait, didn't you notice? Hulk didn't come out?" Alaric suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Ah, this…"
When he heard Alaric's words, Banner froze, right! Hulk didn't come out!
He purposely got angry, but still didn't transform!
"It really works!"
It wasn't in vain that Banner spent most of the day asleep in midair!
"Try again! Harder!"
Banner was so excited he forgot about the slap.
"Alright, here goes."
Boom!
Poof!
Banner felt a heavy blow to the stomach, almost coughed up blood!
He collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach and grimacing in pain.
"Hulk didn't come out this time either!" Banner shouted.
"Want some more?" Alaric suggested.
"If possible, better not; I feel like this level is just right."
Banner feared that if Hulk came out, it would negate this time's effect.
In short, Banner didn't want to see Hulk.
"Don't you want to know why Hulk didn't come out?"
"This… Did he get scared?" Banner guessed.
"You think there's something Hulk is afraid of?"
"Alright, try it, in the worst case, send me back again." Banner nodded.
"Hm."
This time, Alaric increased the power a bit and knocked Banner out with a single strike.
Poof! This time Banner actually coughed up blood.
If Banner didn't transform again this time, he would consider that he could live more peacefully and not worry anymore.
"Roaaar!"
"Hulk!!"
Unfortunately, Hulk, sensing that Banner's life was in danger, took over Banner's consciousness and appeared directly.
As soon as he appeared, Hulk first shook his head, as if he had just woken up, then realized he was standing on a hard floor and got excited!
"Hulk!"
Then Hulk saw Alaric.
Hulk thought for a moment and remembered Alaric's face!
He recognized him as the one who threw him into the air!
Hulk suddenly became furious!
He used to think this guy was nice!
"Hulk!"
Hulk smashed the floor with all his might and charged at Alaric.
"My floor…"
Alaric looked at the floor Hulk had stomped on and was very sad.
"Let's change the location."
Shhh!
The scene changed, and Alaric brought Hulk into a space full of rocks.
It was Alaric's elemental space, the stone world, the entire space filled with the earth element.
"Come on, let's 'share some feelings'!"
Alaric said and activated the Holy Phase, transforming himself to Hulk's size.
"Hulk!"
Hulk didn't care that the surroundings had changed, he only wanted to smash the guy in front of him!
"Bring it on!"
Alaric also charged forward, swinging his fists.
Fists of equal size clashed fiercely in the air and caused a shockwave.
"Hulk!"
Seeing his blow blocked, Hulk suddenly extended his left arm to grab Alaric, he wanted to grab him and slam him into the ground.
"You think I'm Thor or Loki?!"
Not backing down, Alaric blocked Hulk's move with his left arm.
The two locked in place, grappling with each other!
"Roaaar!"
Seeing that Alaric wasn't yielding, Hulk raised his head and headbutted!
"Don't think I'm scared of you!"
Alaric said, let's see whose head is harder!
Boom!
Under the intense impact, both Alaric and Hulk shook slightly, let go of each other, shook their heads, and took a few steps back.
Alaric still wasn't using full power, he wanted to feel the sensation of fighting using the power of supreme light.
He didn't feel like going to look for Dormammu; after all, Dormammu had many tricks, and if Alaric got caught off guard again, it'd be very unpleasant.
And just in time, Hulk had come to him, an indescribably powerful punching bag, it'd be a shame not to use it!!
Banner: So, you did it on purpose!?
"Hulk!"
Hulk's rage level began to rise, and his expression grew more and more bloodthirsty!
Alaric sensed Hulk's strength and gradually increased the output of the supreme light power, letting it surge through his body, enhancing his strength and defense.
At first, Alaric could match Hulk thanks to his powerful divine body.
But Hulk, as he accumulates rage, his strength grows with his anger!
Fortunately, Alaric could also continue increasing his power, so it was all worth it!
Bam! Bam!
In this barren, rocky world, the two began the most primitive hand-to-hand combat!
Wherever they went, rocks flew and the ground cracked!
Even hard and sharp rocks couldn't harm them in the slightest.
Hulk even used them as weapons to attack!
He lifted a huge boulder and slammed it straight at Alaric.
Not backing down, Alaric lifted an even bigger boulder and brought it down on Hulk!
You hit me, I hit you and neither could hurt the other.
Fortunately, this was Alaric's elemental space, with a single thought, all the damaged areas quickly restored.
After a few hours of this kind of battle, Alaric grew more and more comfortable controlling his supreme power, and his understanding of this new energy deepened.
Alaric discovered that as long as it was based on the power of supreme light, he could continuously add other energies to it to enhance it!
This even applied to dark powers.
After all, part of the supreme light power was the dimensional energy of the Eternal Night World from Alaric and the God of Dark Magic.
Therefore, Alaric no longer had to worry about being corrupted by dark power, relying on the supreme light, he could fuse and assimilate it.
Moreover, the external manifestation of Alaric's supreme light was light that could heal everything.
The external manifestation of Thor's/Odin's power was powerful lightning and storms.
Because both Odin's power and the supreme power shared the trait of being shaped according to personal preferences and could be transformed at any time.
Very convenient and powerful!
