chapter 192 part 2
Just as Colin had expected, after being mutated by Gamma radiation exposure, the Hulk had become incredibly powerful, able to effortlessly gouge a crater in the laboratory floor.
However, in the battle against the Ultron Mark II Robots, merely possessing strength was not enough to defeat them.
Faced with the massive boulder thrown by the Hulk, the crimson lights in the Ultron Mark II Robots' eyes began to flicker.
Their upgraded systems, incorporating the Brainwave Pattern Technology left by Hank Pym, instantly calculated an evasion path. As flames shot from the thrusters behind them, these hovering Ultron Mark II Robots changed direction in an instant, dodging the Hulk's attack.
The boulder scraped past the robots and slammed into the laboratory wall, creating a massive crater.
Seeing his thrown rock dodged, the fury in the Hulk's eyes deepened. He raised his arms and began to frantically smash everything around him, then tilted his head back, beat his chest forcefully, and let out a deafening roar that filled the laboratory.
Stimulated by his rage, the Gamma radiation in the Hulk's body seemed to be affected, spreading at an even faster rate.
"Warning, warning..."
"High levels of Gamma radiation detected!"
At the same time, the opposing Ultron Mark II Robots also measured a massive amount of Gamma radiation emanating from the Hulk.
The effect of this Gamma radiation on the Hulk was to make his already enormous body begin to swell again, further tearing the few scraps of cloth on his body, until finally, a giant, naked green monster appeared before the Ultron Mark II Robots.
...
"So, the Anti-World Hulk doesn't have indestructible pants?"
Colin's expression turned a bit strange as he withdrew his gaze from the Hulk's stark-naked green body.
If this was what the Twisted Time Node on the Anti-World Hulk represented, then it was indeed twisted enough, not even leaving him a pair of pants.
Although he lost his pants, the Hulk's strength in this state had clearly increased significantly. With a single roar from him, the Ultron Mark II Robots, which were still in combat mode, seemed to fall into disarray for a moment.
The instant they were thrown into chaos, the Hulk's massive body charged towards the Ultron Mark II Robots at a speed that completely defied imagination.
He reached out with a palm that was even thicker than before, grabbed an Ultron Mark II Robot's head, and then clenched his fist. The robot's toughest part, its head, was instantly crushed into a ball of scrap metal.
*Clang—*
Casually tossing the scrapped Ultron Mark II Robot aside, the Hulk turned his head and set his sights on the other few Ultron Mark II Robots nearby.
"No, I can't let the Hulk continue this destruction."
Under his Super Vision, Colin suddenly realized that this was no time to be a spectator. Each of these Ultron Mark II Robots was an important Time Shard.
Thinking of this, Colin no longer hesitated.
He glanced down at the Rat Hulk in his hand, which seemed to have given up struggling, whispered something, and then applied a bit of force with both hands.
The next moment, he threw the Rat Hulk out as if it were a casual toss.
However, what seemed like a careless move from Colin caused far more destruction than that.
*Rumble—*
With a series of massive rumbles, the thrown Rat Hulk shot like a cannonball, continuously smashing through the laboratory walls, only coming to a stop right in front of the Ultron Laboratory where Helmut and the others were.
Amidst the massive boom and dust, a rather disheveled Helmut wiped his dust-covered glasses. He looked at the giant hole in front of the laboratory and the trail of destruction visible through it, swallowed hard, and said to the screen beside him, "Perhaps you were right, Doctor Zola."
After flickering a few times, Doctor Zola's face reappeared on the computer screen.
There was no trace of smugness on Doctor Zola's face in response to Helmut's reaction. Instead, his gaze fell on the mutated rat thrown by Colin, and he said with a wary expression, "Be careful, that mutated rat isn't dead yet!"
"What?!"
Hearing Doctor Zola's warning, the grave expression on Helmut's face instantly turned to one of astonishment.
He looked down at the spot buried under the rubble. As if to confirm Doctor Zola's warning, under Helmut's watchful gaze, the Rat Hulk's tail, visible outside the rubble, began to twitch. At the same time, the collapsed debris began to shake.
...
*Boom—*
He raised his hand to block the ion cannon ray fired from the Ultron Mark II Robot. This attack, which was originally capable of piercing the Hulk's body and causing immense damage, now seemed unable to even penetrate his skin.
Holding up his palms against the ion cannon concussive blast fired by the opposing robot, the Hulk let out a deafening roar and stomped forward with his massive legs, leaving deep indentations in the ground with each step. His enormous body made the entire Section D laboratory seem cramped, his head scraping the ceiling. With tremors akin to an earthquake, he reached the Ultron Mark II Robot in the blink of an eye.
He let go of his hands that were blocking the ion cannon, allowing the concussive blast to hit his body.
The faint blue beam of the ion cannon struck the Hulk's chest, forming a bloody and charred mark. However, the next second, the wound healed instantly.
Then, the Hulk was seen extending his massive, dark-green hand, swiping at the Ultron Mark II Robot before him with a fierce gale.
If this grab connected, even an Ultron Mark II Robot, made entirely of solid metal, would be instantly crushed into a ball of scrap.
*Swoosh!*
However, just an instant before the Hulk's palm made contact with the Ultron Mark II Robot's body.
From a distance, two red rays, as thick as bowls, shot out. They streaked through the gaps between the Hulk's fingers and struck the Ultron Mark II Robot.
*Boom!*
"Danger, activating..."
Struck by the Heat Vision fired from Colin's eyes, the Ultron Mark II Robot only had time for the red light in its eyes to flicker before it exploded into a fireball in the searing heat of the Heat Vision.
[Contacted a Twisted Time Node. Collected a small number of Time Shards x2]
The flames and scattered metal from the Ultron Mark II Robot's explosion left a few shallow, fleeting scratches on the Hulk's palm.
Staring at the blaze before him and the robot's wreckage that had fallen on the other side, the Hulk withdrew his outstretched hand, glanced at the already healed wound on his palm, and clenched his fists with a roar.
Roar—
He turned his head to look at Colin in the distance, the red glow in his eyes not yet faded. The rage in the Hulk's pupils climbed rapidly. The blood, irradiated by Gamma radiation, flowed swiftly through the thick, gnarled veins all over his body. His muscles swelled up once more, and in the blink of an eye, his body was nearly as tall as the laboratory itself.
