From a satellite in low-Earth orbit, a truck-sized gold and silver shuttle ejected from the satellite's bay. Powerful thrusters blasted flames, propelling the shuttle into the atmosphere and flying towards Tony's location.
The Hulkbuster Veronica Mark III!
Completely different from the first and second generation models, this armor was constructed from materials that incorporated lesser adamantium and a small amount of vibranium. Both in terms of performance and combat capability, it surpassed the previous generations. It was a true Hulkbuster armor that even the Hulk might not be able to destroy!
Boom...
With a roar, the Hulkbuster Veronica Mark III successfully reached Tony. Simultaneously, the outer shell popped open, and the armor within rapidly transformed into the Hulkbuster's form. At the same time, the head and chest areas deformed, revealing a structure large enough to accommodate Tony's body.
Seeing this, Tony immediately flew inside the Hulkbuster's chest. The suit quickly closed around him, completely loaded. Tony's regular suit and the Hulkbuster connected, then landed with a thud, charging towards the Hulk.
Crack, crack, crack...
Whoosh, whoosh...
Numerous missiles fired from the Hulkbuster's back, pelting the Hulk with fury. As the missiles exploded, the potent hypnotic drug within them immediately spread, entering the Hulk's system with his breath.
"Banner, what the hell is wrong with you!"
With a roar, Tony grabbed the Hulk's head and punched him in the stomach. At the same time, the current generators in his hands reached full power, attempting to knock the Hulk unconscious.
But just as the electric current and the hypnotic drug were about to take effect, Carol, who had been sent flying earlier, returned. From her hands, she unleashed two powerful beams of light, striking the Hulk and sending him flying into the building behind him.
Seeing the Hulk freed from his current generators, Tony roared at Carol, "Carol, I was about to subdue him. What are you doing?"
"Subdue him? And then hand this dangerous creature over to the Illuminati? I can handle him, but you are not welcome here!"
"Not welcome? Did you realize that fight just now nearly killed an entire building full of people? The Hulk alone could not do that. Thank you so much for your help!"
Carol looked at Tony and said nothing more. Instead, she spoke through her earpiece to the others, "Avengers, assemble! We cannot let the Illuminati take him! Let us capture the Hulk ourselves!"
Hearing Carol's words, Steve and the others finally took action.
But Tony did not listen to Carol and took action anyway.
With everyone's combined efforts, even the Hulk, who possessed the ability to become more powerful the angrier he got, was unable to withstand the combined assault. Finally, a punch from Carol's Binary Form knocked him unconscious, transforming him back into Bruce Banner.
The arms of the Hulkbuster armor quickly transformed into restraints specifically designed to restrain the Hulk, but before Tony could get close, Carol intervened.
"Leave Banner to us!"
"Carol Danvers, what is wrong with you? Or do you want to be beaten up by the Hulk and then taught a lesson by me?"
"If you dare to come out of that tin can, I will have a good fight with you."
"Then do you dare to give up the photon energy you obtained? It should not have belonged to you in the first place, right?"
Looking at Tony and Carol who were getting more and more angry, Steve stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Stop arguing. Although Tony is a member of the Illuminati, he is also one of the creators of the Avengers. Carol, please restrain yourself. I do not want to lose another veteran of the Avengers."
Carol was quite convinced by Steve. What was more, in the current Avengers, Sebastian had left, Thor had disappeared, and Tony had faded out. Steve was the absolute veteran. Whether openly or secretly, he was the leader of the Avengers. Even Carol had to admit this.
So when Steve spoke, even Carol shut up and retreated to Medusa and Raina's side.
"Medusa, restrain Bruce Banner. We will return immediately."
Hearing Carol's words, Medusa nodded, her long hair rapidly extending from the back of her head, binding Bruce Banner.
But at that moment, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, severing Medusa's hair. Simultaneously, Sebastian's body emerged from a twisting vortex of space and arrived at Banner's side.
"Sebastian Shaw! Why are you here?"
Without paying any attention to Carol, Sebastian addressed Steve and the others directly, "The Shadow Council has not been making any major moves lately, but I have reason to believe that Banner's incident was orchestrated by them. I need to question Banner. If necessary, I will use magic to assist, but I will not harm him. Rest assured."
Steve and the others naturally had no objection to Sebastian's request.
But that did not mean there were not some who objected.
"You want to take Bruce Banner away? Who gave you the authority? You are no longer a member of the Avengers!"
"Then who gave the Avengers the authority to enforce the law? Carol Danvers, I did not argue with you before because I did not think it was necessary. Now please shut up and stay aside, or your recklessness and stupidity will kill everyone present, including yourself!"
Without further discussion, Sebastian reached out and grabbed Banner's arm, preparing to take him away.
Carol transformed into her binary form again, bypassing Steve who was blocking her way, and punched directly at Sebastian.
At this moment, Sebastian turned to look at Carol. His face flickered, revealing the faint image of a blood-red skull blazing with blue flames. Simultaneously, a hoarse, low roar emanated from Sebastian's mouth, as if coming from the abyss itself.
"GET OUT!"
In an instant, a massive burst of blazing energy blasted Carol, sending her flying. She slammed into the road and continued into the building behind her, piercing through it and disappearing from sight. A gully of melted, burning flames remained on the ground, marking the path left by Carol's blast!
