As a man wearing a Kryptonian battle suit—even if it was a replica—Henry still believed he should rely on close-quarters combat.
So, he didn't choose a ranged attack like Tony. He accelerated sharply, the air under his feet instantly exploding!
BANG!!
He transformed into a black bolt of lightning, instantly appearing directly above the now-upright Abomination!
"Die, Ugly Bastard!" he shouted.
Then, he clasped his hands together to form a sledgehammer, slamming down onto Abomination's head!
BANG!
A dull thud, louder than any collision before! Abomination's massive body was hit by an invisible, colossal force. His legs buckled, and he instantly dropped to his knees! The hard pavement cracked and shattered, forming a massive fissure around his knees!
A huge crater, more than ten meters wide, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes! Abomination lay silently at the bottom of the pit, seemingly unable to even groan.
"Tsk tsk, so fragile," Henry slowly retracted his fist, hovering above the giant pit. He looked down at the ugly monster, who was barely breathing, his face expressionless, as if he had just casually swatted a buzzing fly.
The entire scene fell into a suffocating silence again. Everyone stared at the sight, their minds blank.
"Oh! My God!" Betty Ross, in the helicopter, subconsciously covered her mouth, utterly disbelieving.
"This... this is..." General Ross was stunned. He looked at the black figure hovering in the air, his throat suddenly dry.
"Director!" Coulson's voice, stammering, came through his agent's comms.
"Do we still need... to clean up the battlefield?"
Coulson didn't answer. He just stared blankly at Henry, the professional smile on his face replaced by a blank look.
What is this? Superman?!
"Hey, Henry," Tony's voice broke the dead silence from the sky.
"Wasn't that a little too hard?"
"Is it?" Henry turned, looking at the green behemoth nearby, who was also stunned into silence.
"I thought it was just an appetizer."
"ROAR!!!"
Perhaps provoked by Henry's contemptuous gaze, only rage remained in the Hulk's mind! He roared, charging at Henry again like an out-of-control green tank!
"Brainless idiot."
This time, Henry didn't choose to engage in a head-on clash. Facing the Hulk's heavy punch, he swayed his body, easily dodging it.
The Hulk's punch hit the empty air, the immense force creating a massive crater in the ground, but not even touching a single thread of Henry's suit.
"Too slow," Henry's voice sounded right next to the Hulk's ear.
The Hulk quickly spun around, his other fist whistling through the air! But Henry's speed was faster! He closed the distance, pressing close to the Hulk's massive body.
Then, a fluid combination of punches, like a raging storm, rained down on the Hulk's body! Jabs, hooks, elbow strikes, knee strikes...
Henry combined graceful, lethal martial arts with his absolute strength! Every one of his attacks accurately targeted the Hulk's joints, armpits, and ribs—the few vulnerable points!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The dull sounds of impact were incessant, like a war drum! Though the Hulk was thick-skinned, under Henry's precision, weak-point attacks, he was repeatedly driven back, unable to counter, only able to emit roars of helpless fury!
"Too slow! Too clumsy! You're like a half-asleep bear!" Henry continued his trash talk while fighting.
"Seriously, your fighting skills are worse than Happy's! At least he knows how to use the wild swing!"
After driving the Hulk back one more time, Henry executed a quick backflip, creating distance. Then, he accelerated, launching himself like an arrow at the Hulk! This time, his target was the Hulk's head!
He spread his legs in mid-air, accurately clamping the Hulk's green head!
Heard of the lethal Scissor Kick, big guy! Then, he used his core strength to flip the Hulk's massive body in mid-air!
"Time to lie down!"
BOOM!!!
The Hulk's massive body was slammed hard onto the ground!
Another huge depression!
This time, the Hulk didn't get up. He lay quietly at the bottom of the pit, his eyes rolled back, completely knocked out.
The battle was over. Henry hovered in the air, looking down at everyone. His black cape billowed silently, and the crimson light in his eyes flickered.
