God of Anger
"Hmm?"
Seeing Hulk suddenly pick his nose, Strange and Damon both froze. Why had the tone suddenly changed? Seth was equally stunned by Hulk’s reaction. What was going on? Why hadn’t he gone berserk? Why was he so calm? Wasn’t Hulk the embodiment of rage? "Your Mind Power is nowhere near as good as Hell’s subtle influence. In Hell, I nearly went berserk several times. Luckily, Betty’s merciless slaps woke me up."
Hulk said, "I, Hulk, was indeed born from anger. But whether I become a man or a demon is up to me. No one gets to decide my fate."
Seth cursed, "No matter how much you pretend, your essence is that of a beast—a disgusting beast that everyone avoids on sight."
"Avoids me? Earthlings love me. My merchandise has always ranked in the top five, and plenty of foods are named after me, like Invincible Hulk Roasted Gummies and the Hulk Mega Burger."
Hulk gave a disdainful laugh. "And just so you know, I’m not bragging, but my last solo movie made over a billion at the box office. Thor’s Thor 2: My Hammer Matters More Than My Girlfriend only made 640 million dollars."
"If that isn’t bragging, what is?"
Seth could not help complaining. He said coldly, "That’s only because you haven’t gone berserk yet. Once you cause destruction in the world, no one will like you anymore."
"They will. I made a vow: my anger will only be used to protect. That is also the meaning of my existence."
Hulk clenched his fists and said, "Thanks for bringing me all this anger. Now get lost. Your technique is too weak. I didn’t even enjoy myself."
Seth flew into a rage. Before He could say anything else, Hulk’s mental force formed an enormous green fist and smashed Him apart.
Hulk snorted and cursed, "One after another, all trying to tempt me into becoming a beast. Do I not care about my dignity?"
"Since things have come to this, I might as well go big."
Hulk thought for a moment, took a deep breath, raised his hammer, and shouted, "I am Hulk! Lend me your anger! In return, Hulk Mega Burgers will be half price for the next three days!"
Those words rang out in the minds of countless people across Earth. They were stunned for a moment, then agreed to lend him their anger. After all, that was Hulk—the Hulk who had protected them so many times.
With their consent, Hulk’s body began swelling wildly. In the blink of an eye, he had grown more than ten meters tall, his entire body packed with bulging muscles. He looked more demonic than a demon god, more bestial than a beast.
In addition, the Lava Battle Armor on Hulk’s body was forcibly stretched apart and became half armor. It was not a magical item and had no ability to enlarge itself automatically.
Damon sucked in a breath and turned to Strange. "What is going on?"
"Hulk actually became a god? Gathering anger is a power only gods possess."
Strange was deeply shocked as well. The current Hulk could be called the God of Anger.
"Hulk became a god?"
Damon was even more astonished. He cautiously asked, "Will he lose his mind and beat us up?"
Strange smiled. "He probably won’t beat me up, but I can’t say the same for you. After all, you’re a skeleton too."
Damon immediately gave Strange a skeletal middle finger. At that moment, Hulk roared, "Skeleton God, come over here and die!"
As Hulk roared, his powerful mental force shook the void. All the skeletons before him exploded and turned to dust in midair.
Instead of being alarmed, Skeleton God was delighted. He flapped His wings and flew toward Hulk, shouting, "You are qualified to become my servant. I will use your corpse to create the finest skeleton."
"You?"
Hulk grinned savagely, charged forward several steps, then leaped high into the air. His hammer crashed toward Skeleton God with heaven-shattering force, even denting the void.
Skeleton God avoided the sunken void, brought His hands together, and blasted an enormous white beam of light fiercely toward Hulk in the air.
Hulk did not dodge. He twisted his hammer with all his strength and slammed it into the white beam. The beam was instantly shattered, exploding in midair.
Seeing this, Skeleton God immediately beat His wings and rose into the air. Then, with a wave of His hand, ten thousand bone spears tore through the void and shot toward Hulk.
Just as Hulk was about to counterattack, a portal appeared before him. He immediately jumped through it and smashed his hammer down on Skeleton God’s back with savage force.
Skeleton God could not dodge in time and was struck dead-on. Like a meteor, He crashed into the ground formed by the spatial barrier, denting it deeply.
"Awesome! Kidney-deficient wizard, great support!"
Hulk laughed loudly and leaped toward Skeleton God below, intending to stomp Him to death.
Strange glanced at Hulk speechlessly. How was this guy’s mouth even nastier than Tony Stark’s?
Hulk claimed this was called innocence.
Damon smiled, mounted the Hell Cycle again, and swung his magic chains to reap the surrounding skeletons, preventing them from interfering with the battle between Skeleton God and Hulk.
Seeing Hulk leap down, Skeleton God immediately rolled aside. The next moment, Hulk landed heavily on the ground. The void-floor shook continuously, slowing Skeleton God’s movements for an instant.
Hulk seized the opportunity to rush forward and grab Skeleton God’s left foot. Skeleton God was startled and hurriedly shouted, sending countless bone spikes densely shooting toward Hulk.
Dazzling green light erupted from Hulk’s body, bouncing every bone spike away. Then he grinned and swung Skeleton God down hard onto the ground to his right, leaving a skeleton-shaped imprint in the sunken floor.
That was not the end. Hulk swung Skeleton God up again and smashed Him to the left, then to the right again… Repeating this more than ten times, he nearly smashed through the small space. Skeleton God lay in the massive pit, and tears seemed to be streaming from the corners of His eyes.
"A god? Tch."
Hulk sneered and stomped down viciously. Skeleton God’s chest was crushed through instantly.
Strange and Damon could not help whistling. The current Hulk was truly powerful—truly awesome.
"I’ll kill you!"
Even with a hole in His skull, Skeleton God was exceptionally enraged now and was about to unleash a killer move. At that moment, Hulk and the other two vanished at the same time.
Immediately afterward, the small space violently contracted. Then the entire space shattered as though the end of the world had arrived. Skeleton God’s expression changed drastically, and massive amounts of white bone formed bone armor around Him, tightly protecting Him.
Skeleton God acted quickly, but it was useless. The violent spatial storm and the Destruction Power brought by the world’s collapse rapidly destroyed His armor, then struck His body. His form instantly disintegrated.
I’m definitely dead. Sigh, if I’d known I was going to die, I should have collected more money earlier. I really lost out this time.
Skeleton God’s final thought flashed through His mind before His consciousness sank fully into darkness. However, He did not die—Wang Bert had taken Him into the Blood River and suppressed Him there.
Although Skeleton God was a skeleton, Wang Bert could still devour Him. The Blood Shadow Magic Skill was simply that powerful.
With that, all the invading enemies had been wiped out. Wang Bert devoured three gods and destroyed Seth’s projection, achieving a complete victory.
Once word of this spread throughout the universe, everyone would know just how powerful and terrifying the Blood God was. His fame would spread far and wide.
After dealing with Skeleton God, Wang Bert turned to Hulk and the others. Hulk said unhappily, "Bert, that was my opponent, my spoils."
"I just didn’t want to waste time. I’ve been away from Earth for a year, and so many actresses and models are waiting for me."
Wang Bert smiled. "Of course, you’ll still be compensated. I’ll use Skeleton God’s body to make you a set of bone Magic Armor, so you stop bursting your armor every day.
"Also, I’ll make a movie for you: Hulk: God of Anger."
Hulk’s anger immediately turned to delight. "I’ll take both. Oh, and get the elf princess Liv Tyler for the female lead in the new movie."
Hulk’s movies were usually starring Hulk himself. The reason was simple: it saved money.
Wang Bert laughed at that. "Hulk, you’ve grown up."
"You think I’m like you?"
Hulk looked down on him. "Liv Tyler looks a lot like Betty. I feel more when acting opposite her."
Wang Bert wore an expression that said he understood. "Got it. Completely got it."
"You understand my ass."
Hulk gave Wang Bert the middle finger. The aura of anger around him rapidly faded, and his body quickly shrank. A moment later, he changed from the God of Anger back into ordinary Hulk.
Strange asked in surprise, "You gave up the godhood of the God of Anger?"
"I refused it back in Hell. Becoming the God of Anger came with too many restrictions. More importantly, I wouldn’t be able to control my own anger."
Hulk said, "After refusing, I reverted to my original form, but gained the ability to gather anger. Bert opened Earth’s Backdoor for me, so I can accumulate anger on Earth and become the God of Anger again."
Strange asked, "Isn’t it a pity to give up godhood? That’s eternal life and invincible power."
"What’s there to regret? If I hadn’t refused, I’d have had to spend my whole life in Hell."
Hulk clenched his fist and said confidently, "Besides, as long as I keep fighting, sooner or later I’ll become a true God-Devil Level being."
Damon gave Hulk a thumbs-up. He was a real man. Not everyone could bear to give up something like godhood.
"Ambitious. All right, Hulk, Banner, and Damon, go back and celebrate with Tony first. I’ll be there in a while."
Wang Bert waved his hand, and Hulk and Ghost Rider vanished at the same time. Seeing that Wang Bert had left him behind alone, Strange asked in surprise, "Blood God, is there something you need to tell me?"
"Yes. Kaecilius has betrayed us."
Wang Bert explained the situation, then said, "He not only took the pages and the Darkhold, but also brought more than a dozen trusted followers with him."
"I never expected him to act so quickly."
Strange sighed. "Blood God, I request permission to pursue him. I bear some responsibility for this."
"I’ve already sent Mordo. You have something more important to do."
Wang Bert shook his head. "Kaecilius has allied himself with Dormammu. Next, he will definitely attack the Three Sanctuaries. Your task is to hold all three. Not one can fall."
The burden was heavy, but Strange did not shirk it. He nodded. "I will protect the Three Sanctuaries."
"Good. Kamar-Taj is in some disorder because of Kaecilius’s betrayal. Go calm them down. If they try to cause trouble, I grant you the authority to punish them."
Wang Bert waved his hand, sending Strange directly back to Kamar-Taj. This was a test for him. Before long, he would officially become the new generation’s Sorcerer Supreme.
At the hospital, the battle had long since ended. A group of Drone Armors were rapidly cleaning up the battlefield-like ruins, while all the Super Heroes had gathered outside the delivery room.
"This is my daughter, Morgan Stark."
Before long, Tony emerged holding two newborn babies, bundled up tightly and crying nonstop. His old face was blooming like a chrysanthemum as he introduced them. "And this is my son, Murphy Stark."
"Murphy?"
Everyone was stunned. Peter said, "Mr. Stark, isn’t that name a little inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate about it? Mephisto is my son. There’s no need to hide it. I believe my son can handle this pressure."
Tony said smugly. Everyone was speechless. You just wanted to show off, didn’t you? They had thought only sons could screw over their fathers. Who would have expected fathers to screw over their sons too?
"Tony, your good days have only just begun."
Wang Bert appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his hand, two dragon-shaped bracelets flew from Pepper’s hand onto Morgan and Murphy’s wrists.
The two Dragon Gods would protect Morgan and Murphy. At the same time, Dragon Power would gradually seep into the babies’ bodies, making them stronger and healthier.
"Bert, you finally showed up. I thought you had gone missing!"
Tony complained, then asked, "Has everything been resolved?"
Everyone turned to look at Wang Bert. He smiled. "When I act, of course everything gets resolved. However, I deliberately left one loose end for you. You’ll definitely be interested."
"What loose end?"
Tony asked curiously at first, then shook his head. "Sorry, I’m very busy right now. I don’t have time to deal with any loose ends. Hey, even if the world ends today, I’m not leaving my two little treasures."
Wang Bert glanced at Tony, then turned to Electro. "In that case, Max, you do it."
Electro immediately nodded. "No problem, sir. What do you need?"
"Arrest a presidential candidate."
Wang Bert smiled. "The charge is colluding with Hydra and attempting to overthrow the world."
"Wow."
Everyone’s eyes lit up at once. With lightning speed, Tony handed the two children to the nurse beside him and said, "Bert, you have to leave this to me. I’ve wanted to beat him up for a long time."
Wang Bert pretended to glance up at the sky. "The world hasn’t ended."
Everyone burst into laughter. Tony was not embarrassed at all. "Bert, let me do it. I’ll teach you all my decades of experience picking up girls."
"Isn’t your secret to picking up girls just, ‘I’m Tony Stark, and I’m rich’?"
Wang Bert mocked. He glanced into the distance and said, "S.W.O.R.D. has arrived. The evidence is ready. Go on."
"On my way."
Tony flew off excitedly, and a group of Super Heroes immediately followed.
In this incident, the most hated person was not Hydra, but that damned candidate. If they were not Super Heroes, they would have secretly taken him out already—the really brutal kind.
What was the candidate doing now? Holding a press conference. After escaping for his life, he changed into a fresh set of clothes, called over the reporters nearby, and began his speech once again.
"This trouble was all brought about by Tony Stark, and this is only the beginning. Because of his damned, cursed demon son, even more disasters will descend upon New York…"
The candidate was speaking enthusiastically when Tony approached with several S.W.O.R.D. agents. Wearing a cold expression, he said, "Sorry, Mr. Candidate. You are suspected of colluding with Hydra. S.W.O.R.D. has entrusted me with arresting you."
