As the Hulk's power fully and continuously erupted from within him, David Banner felt his strength grow stronger and stronger until it reached a limit.
That's right, the Hulk's power, theoretically speaking, has no upper limit, but David Banner, the Absorbing Man, is not the same. After absorbing such immense power in one go, his abilities were completely uncontrollable.
"No! Stop! Stop it now!" David Banner instantly panicked because he sensed that his body was about to explode, but he didn't want to die. Having witnessed even greater power, he was unwilling to leave this world just like that.
"It seems I don't need to intervene." Huang Wen looked at the scattered sunflower seed shells and fruit around him, smiled, shook his head, stood up, and replaced the exhausted Hulk from the ground.
With a 'puff,' a soft sound came from underground, and then the entire ground trembled as if an earthquake had occurred. The Hulk also returned to Bruce Banner's form; the power within him was severely depleted. Having just been born, he was a bit tired and wanted to rest properly.
"Prepare to move out! Bring both Bruce Banner and that man back!" General Ross, seeing everything seemingly return to calm, immediately gave the order.
"That was close. If I hadn't released my power at the last moment and transformed my entire body into groundwater, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have survived..." A stream of water slowly seeped out from the ground, forming a water element giant—it was David Banner!
However, although David Banner was not dead at this moment, most of the power absorbed from the Hulk had already been released. Coupled with the immense power he had just sustained, which injured him, the water element giant's aura was even somewhat unstable now.
"Wait, don't act rashly. Let's observe further!" General Ross, seeing another variable, quickly modified his order, his eyes fixed on the screen. He wanted to know how Huang Wen would deal with David Banner now that the Hulk was gone. Did Huang Wen have many other tricks up his sleeve?
With a 'swish,' the surrounding sunflower seed shells and uneaten fruit all flew up and embedded themselves into the water element giant's body.
"Is that all? What effect can this trash have on me?" The water element giant's mouth twisted into a mocking smile, and he disdainfully looked at Huang Wen, saying, "It seems you have no other tricks. Although I can't bear the Hulk's power right now, absorbing you is still no problem..."
"You want to absorb? Then go ahead and absorb!" Huang Wen smiled calmly, flicked his left hand lightly, and used the Ice Flame Palm. A stream of ice true qi was sent into the water element giant's body, and instantly, the water element giant began to solidify into ice.
"You have such a method? But it's useless. Even if you can turn me into ice, I can still absorb this power and even make my body more solid... Hmm? What's going on? Why can't I move?" David Banner's voice went from triumphant to surprised, and finally became somewhat panicked.
"Sorry, I have absolute control over my own power." A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Huang Wen's mouth. This absolute control was a characteristic of the Ice Flame Palm. "Since you actively absorbed the power of ice, then you can't blame me..."
At this point, Huang Wen stopped, turned his head to look at Bruce Banner, and then continued, "Bruce, how do you want to deal with him?"
"If possible, just let him go." Bruce Banner hesitated for a moment, then said with great filial piety, "He just wanted to let me go, and I don't want to see him in such a monstrous form. Compared to him, the Hulk is truly much cuter..."
"Alright, then let's leave first. The commotion later might be a bit big." Huang Wen was not too surprised by this outcome; he just nodded. "Say goodbye to him!"
"Goodbye, Father." Bruce Banner took a deep breath, looking at the ice element giant and making his final farewell. As Bruce Banner's words fell, Huang Wen and Bruce Banner's figures gradually disappeared.
"No..." The ice element giant managed to let out a faint sound, but just then, the sunflower seed shells and fruit trapped in ice within his body were activated by Huang Wen.
With a 'boom,' the ice element giant instantly disappeared, leaving only a giant pit with a radius of about fifty meters. Everyone monitoring this scene was stunned.
"How... how did he do that?" Such an explosion was even more terrifying than the Hulk, after all, the Hulk was a mutated monster, while the explosion was a technological force, and its destructive effect was even more deterrent.
"According to the data, the explosion that just occurred was equivalent to the explosive power of a Tomahawk missile with a conventional warhead, and the blast radius was also comparable..." The data personnel, sweating profusely, provided the final data. "But no radioactive material was detected!"
"You mean to say, this was really his ability, and not a large number of bombs set up in advance?" General Ross took a deep breath, looking directly at the data personnel and asking.
"Previously, in the suburbs of New York, a similar explosion occurred at the same location, but the combined power of that one was only about half of what we just saw..." The data personnel quickly found the previous record information, which made General Ross fall silent for a moment.
"Mobilize! Such methods and abilities must be in the hands of the military!" General Ross finally made his decision.
At the same time, a phone call came to Jack's mobile phone at the Wing Chun martial arts gym, using code: "What kind of ability does your teacher have?"
"What?" Jack was stunned for a moment, then asked somewhat hesitantly, "Father, which one are you referring to?"
"The explosion! An explosion comparable to a conventional missile!" Jack's father's voice was a bit gloomy. "I ask you, if the military goes all out, what is the probability of catching him?"
"Don't!" Jack's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Teacher's strength is unfathomable. Most importantly, Teacher can go anywhere he wants. It's absolutely impossible to catch him, and once Teacher is angered, if he wants to cause destruction..."
"Destruction..." Jack's father's eyes flashed with the aftermath of the explosion, and he fell silent.
"Father, I know you want to place Teacher's power in the hands of the military, but my relationship with Teacher is growing closer and closer. As long as we continue to show goodwill to Teacher, I might even learn these abilities!" Jack said, striking while the iron was hot.
"Is it better to have power in the hands of the military, or in the hands of our own family? Father, you should be able to distinguish which is more beneficial to us, right?"
"Jack, you've grown up. Go for it!" Jack's father made his decision. "The family will support you from behind, and right now, there's a good opportunity to show goodwill..."
