"This fighting style is absolutely brutal!"
"The Hulk is terrifying!"
"A true brawl of pure strength, he's actually holding his own against Thor."
"Is that hammer really so heavy? The Hulk can't even lift it!"
"Thor wields it with ease. How does that work?"
"Tony: 'We're repairing things, you're tearing them apart!'"
"Thor looks furious."
"The craziest part is that Hulk actually drew Thor's blood! Thor's a god."
"Playing with explosives is insane."
"Entire squadrons of planes vanished in seconds."
"Hulk: 'What's going on? I can't even budge this tiny hammer?'"
"Who would've guessed that Dr. Banner turns into this monster?"
"The Hulk's combat power is terrifying, comparable to someone from Asgard. I'm convinced he's the most powerful person in S.H.I.E.L.D."
In the dormitory, Aldice watched the clash between Hulk and Thor unfold. Her face had gone pale, drained of all color. She once carried pride as a vampire princess, but even she now felt a chilling reality: a single punch from the Hulk would obliterate her instantly.
"The people from that era were unbelievably strong. I can't even imagine how unstoppable he'd be if those memories were fully awakened in Immortal Warrior."
Under his high-tech helmet, Tanner grinned, eyes fixed on his streaming data dashboard. The battle between Hulk and Thor had begun in earnest. The moment Thor summoned his hammer and sent the Hulk flying with a single devastating strike, Tanner's metrics started skyrocketing.
Ding dong! "Congratulations to the author of Immortal Warrior! You've received a reward of 21,000 Dollars!"
Ding dong! "Congratulations to you, author of Immortal Warrior! You've received 100,000 Dollars! Double reward activated! You'll receive 200,000 Dollars!"
Ding dong! "Congratulations! You've received 60,000 Dollars!"
The numbers were still climbing. To be honest, Tanner didn't even glance at rewards under 1,000 anymore. Even 10,000 barely registered. Tens of thousands? Hardly worth blinking at. The total had already surpassed 20 million, and it was still rising at an incredible pace.
Tanner's smile widened, "Twenty million… almost there. Almost!"
Suddenly, Tanner froze. A message flickered in his mind, "Huh? This is the Hulk's mutation data?"
Fresh details surfaced, revealing the specifics of Hulk's transformation.
"When this is over, I'll see if I can put this intel to use." From this capture alone, Tanner had gathered mountains of valuable information. Most of it was clear and actionable, with only a few scattered fragments. He'd even unlocked Romanov's espionage abilities.
The feed glitched, and the battle scene shifted away from Hulk and Thor, cutting instead to the frantic repair operation outside.
[ Sparks erupted as Tony's suit blasted through a blocked mechanical port, kicking a steel plate clear. Rogers shoved a plug board into place along the track. "Relay's intact. What's next?" ]
[ Tony scanned the damaged steam turbine. "The rotors are cleared, but this won't restart on its own; I'll have to push it." ]
[ His helmet display highlighted fractured rotor blades. ]
[ Rogers warned, "Once that thing spins up, you'll be shredded. "]
[ Tony shot back, "The stator control can reverse polarity long enough to disengage—" ]
[ "Keep it simple," Rogers cut in. ]
[ "See that red joystick?" Tony sighed. "Pull it when I say. It'll slow the rotor enough for me to get out. Just listen closely." ]
"Is he seriously about to fly into that thing to fix it?"
"That's insane, those turbines aren't toys!"
"I get it. He's diving into the fan system to repair the blade, but once it's functional, it's going to spin at full speed."
"That's suicide!"
"And Rogers just said Tony's a one-man hero. Wasn't kidding!"
"Some people…"
"Cheers for Tony!"
"Anyone slandering him after this is getting blocked!"
Meanwhile, in the expert panel, several top military engineers frowned grimly as they watched.
"This isn't a game," one muttered, "Those turbines keep this entire battleship airborne. The fan blades spin at incredible speeds. One mistake and he'll be minced meat."
Silence fell. If Tony failed, the carrier would crash. If it hit land, the devastation would be catastrophic. Given the Federation's current technology, stabilizing a ship of this size midair was impossible.
"Let's hope he pulls it off," an expert whispered.
Viewers everywhere held their breath, praying Tony could finish his repair safely. Suddenly, the scene trembled violently before stabilizing. Alarms blared.
"No! They've breached the central control room!"
"They stormed it! Straight in!"
[ Inside the control center, Fury adjusted systems rapidly. "Clear the lower hangar!" ]
[ Hill nodded, but a grenade skittered into the room, "Grenade!" ]
[ BOOM! Smoke filled the air. ]
[ Heavily armed intruders stormed in, weapons raised. Hill and Fury dropped several attackers as Coulson slipped toward the lower deck. ]
[ "We're compromised! The enemy's in Aegis gear! Check every access point!" ]
[ "Hulk and Thor are battling on the fourth deck!" ]
[ "The second and third decks are blind zones!" ]
[ "Sir, Hulk's tearing this place apart!" Hill shouted. ]
[ "Keep him distracted," Fury snapped. ]
[ "Deploy escort ship 6-0 to Y-sector! Contain them!" ]
[ Outside, a fighter jet approached the carrier, aiming for the fourth deck. ]
[ "Target locked! Weapons hot! Fire!" ]
[ The Hulk slammed Thor into a wall, but before he could advance, bullets ripped through the air from behind. ]
[ With a roar of rage, Hulk leapt at the jet, crushing it with a single punch. Smoke filled the sky as the wreckage spiraled downward. The pilot barely ejected before Hulk snatched him midair and flung him like a ragdoll. ]
"I can't even breathe, this is insane!"
"Hulk's power is off the charts!"
"Those fists are tougher than steel!"
"If I stood in front of him, I'd be paste in seconds."
"That poor pilot never stood a chance."
"Hulk feels like a god, this strength isn't human!"
"Thor's getting rag-dolled. Unreal."
"If Hulk stops holding back, he might tear the whole carrier apart!"
"Fury made a mistake attacking him. They just lost a jet!"
"Nobody can stop him! He's unstoppable!"
"Tony vs. Hulk… now that would be a match!"
[ A blazing laser cut through the air as Tony severed the steel blocking the turbine's rotation. He soared into the fan assembly, pushing the massive blade forward with both arms. His suit's thrusters roared as sparks showered the chamber. ]
[ Finally, with a deafening groan, the turbine spun freely, gaining momentum until it reached operational speed. ]
[ "Captain! Pull the manual lever!" ]
[ Rogers was pinned in combat with armed invaders, struggling to reach the controls. ]
[ "I need one minute!" he shouted over the comms. ]
[ "We don't have a minute! NOW!" Tony's suit was battered around violently, ricocheting between the massive blades. Sparks rained as his armor scraped against steel. ]
[ In a desperate final effort, Rogers lunged and yanked the lever down. ]
"Good lord, I almost fainted!"
"Tony was seconds from death!"
"He saved the ship and countless lives!"
"All that debris could've killed thousands."
"I thought he was going to run out of power!"
"Tony: 'I'm here fixing this mess while you guys blow it up!'"
"Does he ever get dizzy?"
"Tony's the ultimate mechanic!"
"Respect to this man."
Battered but alive, Tony had stabilized the turbine. A collective sigh of relief swept through the audience. But tension surged again as Barton appeared in the control room.
[ He loosed an explosive arrow into the center console. Another arrow struck the system interface, its tips splitting open into invasive connectors. Sparks flew as system after system failed. ]
[ "Engine One's down! We're losing altitude!" ]
[ "Total power loss!" ]
[ Fury barked over comms, "It's Barton! He's disabled the engines and is heading for the detention block!" ]
[ In a shadowed corner, Romanov's voice cut through, calm but sharp: "I'm on it." ]
[ She sprang to her feet, racing toward the detention level. ]
The audience exploded again.
"Traitor! I can't believe it!"
"Romanov cares about him. Can she even bring herself to stop him?"
"This is all Loki's doing!"
"Yeah, where's Loki?!"
"This is his entire plan unfolding!"
"Go! Stop Barton!"
