"You simply cannot perfectly adapt to this powerful force, so... put down this opportunity and let your Uncle Parker adapt to it!"
As the words fell, a flash of scarlet light flickered in Ryan's eyes. His large hand violently thrust out from the protective circle of the Ten Rings, precisely covering the face of the only real Infinite Hulk amidst the sky full of afterimages!
Then, to the astonishment of Infinite Hulk, Ryan exerted force in his arm, lifted him high above his head, and then slammed him fiercely onto the ground!
Boom——————
The Earth trembled violently from this throw. The afterimages surrounding Ryan vanished instantly, and a hurricane, even more violent than the Hulk Slash, erupted and swept out in all directions!
Even the zombie army, tens of thousands of meters away, had their flesh stripped and bones scraped by this hurricane, blown into mere skeletons, and then those skeletons were annihilated by the knife-like hurricane that struck them!
Even those zombie giants enlarged by Pym Particles turned into ash, becoming wisps of dust flying across Earth!
When the hurricane, which had been almost solidified and made it impossible to open one's eyes, dissipated, the battlefield, which had previously had mountains and rocks for a hundred miles, had become an endless flat plain!
On this plain, the only humanoid objects remaining were two figures: one standing and one lying down!
These two figures were, naturally, the Infinite Hulk lying on the ground, and Ryan, who was pinning him down!
Ryan looked down at Infinite Hulk, who was suffering from internal bleeding due to his full-force slam and was oozing six-colored energy-like blood from his nose and mouth, his face devoid of sorrow or joy:
"Possessing power that transcends gods but lacking the ability to guard it is, in itself, a sin. So... rest in peace, Bruce Banner, Hulk. From here on, I will help you guard it!"
With that, Ryan raised his fist and mercilessly smashed it into Infinite Hulk's face with full force!
Thud——————
With one punch, the Earth trembled again, as if Earth was having a nightmare and shivering. Centered on the two of them, huge chasms cracked open across the ground, radiating outwards!
Thud—————————
With two punches, the Earth not only trembled but sank violently, as if the ground could no longer bear this power!
Thud————————————
With three punches, the cracks in the Earth became even larger and began to spread outwards at a speed of a hundred kilometers per second!
Thud——————————————
With four punches, not only was the Earth trembling and wailing, but violent winds suddenly arose all around. The sky above, which had been relatively clear, turned into an endless expanse of dark clouds without any warning!
It was as if an apocalypse, even more terrifying than the zombie apocalypse, was coming!
The next moment, bean-sized raindrops poured down, washing over this scarred Earth!
They also washed over Ryan, who was preparing to land his fifth punch, and Infinite Hulk, whose face was already sunken beneath him.
It seemed as if even the World itself was begging Ryan to stop; 'she' could no longer endure his fifth punch!
Looking at Infinite Hulk beneath him, whose face was so disfigured that he couldn't breathe, let alone exhale, Ryan's raised fist ultimately did not fall.
"Forget it, this is enough. Your body should no longer be able to prevent the transfer of Infinite Power..."
Ryan shook his head; he wasn't some kind of sadist like Deadpool...
He had beaten Infinite Hulk into this state only to break his physical body so that he could better absorb the Infinite Power within him later.
And now, it was enough; Infinite Hulk's physical body had been beaten to the point where it could no longer withstand the Infinite Power.
Ryan grabbed Infinite Hulk by the neck, which was thicker than his own waist, with one hand and lifted him into mid-air.
Immediately, the Symbiote suit on Ryan's body seemed to be attracted, turning into a silvery liquid that flowed along the arm he was using to choke Infinite Hulk, drilling into the bloodied facial features of Infinite Hulk bit by bit!
Finally, the silver Symbiote formed by Riot connected Infinite Hulk and Ryan's arm, thus acting as a 'data transfer cable' between Ryan and Infinite Hulk!
This time, unlike when Ryan used the Symbiote to absorb others' abilities in the past, where separating a part of his body was enough, this time Ryan injected almost all of his Symbiote into Infinite Hulk's body!
Because the energy within Infinite Hulk was greater and stronger than everyone he had absorbed combined!
And even though Ryan had injected almost all of his Symbiote by now, when the Infinite Power within Infinite Hulk was officially transferred into his body through the Symbiote, the Symbiote acting as the data cable quickly overloaded, emitting bursts of burnt smell!
Seeing this, Ryan frowned, and couldn't help but curse Riot for being useless in his heart!
Damn it! What a piece of trash that can't keep up with the strength, just like Hulk!
But Hulk couldn't keep up with the strength of the Infinite Power within him, while Riot couldn't keep up with the strength of Ryan, its Master...
It seemed he had to find a way to get a stronger suit, or make Riot stronger!
As for a stronger suit, Ryan already had a choice in mind: Odin's Destroyer armor!
That thing could withstand the power of peak Odin, and when Odin was being ganged up on by the Celestials, it wasn't destroyed by the combined efforts of the Celestial powerhouses, so its durability could be imagined!
As for the Destroyer being smashed by Thor with a hammer in Thor 1...
That could only be said... that the old brat Odin was purely holding back!
Moreover, the main function of the Destroyer itself wasn't an offensive robot, but an auxiliary suit!
Just like the Ten Rings, it needed its wearer to be strong enough to unleash its full power!
And for Ryan, the Destroyer armor was quite easy to get.
He would first tell Odin; if that old brat didn't give it to him, he would just snatch it.
See, very simple, right?
As for the second method, strengthening Riot, Ryan had actually thought of it too.
That was to have Riot devour more Symbiotes!
Didn't Riot's home Planet, the Symbiote Planet Klyntar, still have millions of Symbiote brethren?
He just needed to feed all millions of Symbiotes to Riot, and surely Riot would evolve to an unimaginable degree!
Perhaps... even rivaling Knull, the God of Symbiotes!
But for now, he had to solve the trouble in front of him!
Ryan looked at Riot, which was almost unable to withstand the Infinite Power, and with a thought, the Ten Rings that had been guarding his body moved!
They flew one by one toward the hand Ryan was using to choke Infinite Hulk, and finally passed through Ryan's flesh, directly onto his arm!
And this was naturally another useful ability Ryan had obtained in this Universe: Intangibility!
This was another benefit of this Intangibility: it allowed him to ignore any sudden situation and directly recall the Ten Rings!
The Ten Rings, re-equipped on Ryan's arm, immediately began to work on their own.
They each turned into protective sleeves for the Symbiote data cable, wrapping layer by layer around the Symbiote connected to Infinite Hulk's flesh!
With the help of the Ten Rings to share most of the pressure, the process of Riot absorbing the Infinite Power finally stabilized, and it began to steadily transport the Infinite Power that originally belonged to Infinite Hulk into Ryan's body!
And Ryan himself, receiving the Infinite Power, could clearly feel that a stream of strange energy transcending reality was constantly merging into his limbs, bones, and soul!
Mind, Soul, and Time were strengthening and consolidating his soul!
Power, Space, and Reality were strengthening and consolidating his physical body!
In this continuous, all-around improvement, Ryan felt like he was about to become an omniscient and omnipotent God!
Oh, no!
In Marvel, God counts for nothing!
Even Odin could drive God out of the Nine Realms like a stray dog!
The God of Marvel couldn't even be brought to the table, let alone be compared to the current Ryan!
His feeling now was more like being Marvel's OAA! (An illusion after power expansion, it's still early).
It was as if he could do everything, know everything, and even... see everything!
At the moment when his body and soul were elevated to a certain point, Ryan suddenly looked up, tilted his head slightly, looked at the sky above, and said leisurely:
"What is this?"
In Ryan's eyes, above the dark clouds that filled the sky, a figure wearing blue robes, with a huge head and glowing eyes, seemed to faintly appear at this moment!
Ryan squinted his eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Ah, I remember who you are, you are... Uatu!"
And the moment Ryan said this name, the huge phantom observing this place seemed to have heard Ryan's words and opened its mouth as if to say something.
But before Ryan could hear clearly what the other party wanted to say, while he had placed all his defensive means on absorbing the Infinite Power and his attention on the phantom in the sky...
A cloud of red mist suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Ryan and instantly condensed into the appearance of Wanda!
She quickly placed her slender hands on Ryan's temples, and strands of red mist seeped into Ryan's brain!
A nearly pathological smile appeared on Wanda's face: "Hehehe, the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains; I have succeeded!"
