A Saint Seiya never retreats.
Neither would Hawk.
The Demon Hulk charged like a living battering ram, the air itself torn apart with each step, a thunderous roar in his wake.
One hundred meters vanished in a blink.
"HULK!!"
The black giant's fist came crashing down, aiming to smash Hawk like an ant beneath a hammer.
But in the instant before impact, Hawk's figure blurred—gone.
BOOM!
The fist struck earth, detonating like dynamite. Shockwaves ripped outward, tearing soil and grass to shreds, uprooting trees within a hundred meters. The vibranium dome above shimmered wildly with cascading ripples.
And then—Hawk reappeared at the monster's side.
FLASH SPEED FIST!
His right arm, muscles taut as a drawn bow, blurred into a storm of blows. Fist shadows poured like a golden rainstorm onto Hulk's mountainous frame.
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!
The ground quaked.
The sky thundered.
Hulk himself seemed to spark with lightning.
"HU—LK!"
"RAAAAGE!!"
The Demon Hulk bellowed, blood-red eyes blazing. He raised a fist the size of a truck and swung down, power enough to reshape the landscape.
Hawk met it head-on.
CRASH!
The collision was cataclysmic. Hawk was hurled back, shirt torn to shreds, bare muscles gleaming as his body slammed against the vibranium barrier. The dome absorbed the impact in rippling waves.
"Alert! Alert!"
"Shield power: 80%."
"Shield power: 70%."
"Recharge immediately!" Shuri barked, fingers flying across her console.
In the command hall, King T'Chaka stared at the projection, voice low with disbelief.
"What… what monster is this?"
"Not just Hulk," Shuri muttered. "It's Hulk's energy, yes—but tainted. Mixed with something else. Hellfire?"
But T'Chaka wasn't watching the Hulk.
His eyes were fixed on Hawk—the young man who had survived that punch, who was already back on his feet, striking again.
Fist shadows rained upward, smashing Hulk's jaw. The black titan's head snapped back, feet lifting from the ground, body crashing into the dirt to carve a new crater.
Dust billowed.
From within it, a monstrous aura surged. The Demon Hulk rose, more savage than before, golden scorch marks fading as his wounds closed. His body swelled larger, muscles bulging grotesquely.
"He's getting stronger again!" Hawk scowled.
This wasn't a fight he wanted. If Hulk's fury kept feeding his power, then Hawk had no chance of winning. And he hadn't come here to play games.
He'd come for vibranium.
His gaze flicked to the golden dome shielding Wakanda.
At that moment, the enraged Hulk lunged once more. Hawk vanished, reappearing before the barrier—just as Hulk's fist slammed down where he had stood.
BOOM!
The blow crashed into the vibranium shield. Energy screamed.
"Shield integrity 60%!"
"Damn it!" Shuri cursed. "He's using Hulk to break our barrier!"
"No," T'Chaka said suddenly. "Open a breach. Let them in."
"What?!" Shuri spun toward him, eyes wide.
"The shield cannot fall. If it does, Wakanda is exposed to the world. Open a gate. Contain them inside."
Reluctantly, Shuri obeyed.
"Open C8 through C1. Now!"
The golden dome rippled. A gap tore open.
Hawk's eyes lit up. He understood at once—it was the only choice they had. Without hesitation, he darted toward the opening.
The Demon Hulk thundered after him.
The breach sealed shut behind them.
On the outside, their figures vanished from every satellite's sight.
"Whoa…" Hawk exhaled as the hidden nation unfolded before him. Sheer cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and a city of gleaming towers and impossible technology.
But no time to admire it.
The Demon Hulk was already upon him.
Hawk flickered behind him. Hulk skidded to the edge of the cliff, halted, and turned—just in time to see Hawk's grin.
The Saint raised his fist and drove it into the cliff beneath Hulk's feet.
CRACK!
The rock split like glass. Fissures raced outward.
For a heartbeat, the Hulk froze. Then—
CRASH!
The cliff sheared away, and the black titan toppled with it, roaring as he plunged toward the roaring river below.
"HUULK!!"
