["Beep! Gamma radiation match rate 99%"]
Just as everyone was arguing nonstop, the Tesseract tracking device developed by Dr. Banner sounded an alert.
"Looks like you'll have to wait until next time to see my signature trick."
Dr. Banner casually set down the Mind Scepter he had picked up without realizing it and hurried a few steps to the computer.
"Oh my God!"
Seeing the result on the screen, Banner couldn't believe his own eyes.
At that moment, Corin's warning rang out loud and clear.
"Danger!"
At the same time, the explosive arrow fired by Barton detonated beneath Engine No. 3.
Engine No. 3 was instantly severely damaged. Flames from the explosion surged down the corridor straight into the lab, and the shockwave smashed all the glass in the room to pieces.
Colonel Rogers, who had just been angrily provoking Tony into putting on his armor and going out for a duel, and Tony himself were both blasted away by the explosion.
Thud!
The two crashed awkwardly onto the steel deck of the level below, covered in soot and dust. All kinds of explosive debris fell down with them.
"Put the armor on, now."
Rogers had better physical conditioning than Tony. He was the first to get up, helping Tony move away from the area while urging him once again to put on the armor.
This time, it clearly wasn't for a one-on-one fight.
And Tony couldn't agree more with Rogers' suggestion right now.
"O… okay!"
The Helicarrier entered Level One combat response.
Guards fully armed rushed past the weapon racks, and the standard-issue rifles displayed inside rapidly decreased in number.
"There's been an explosion outside. Engine No. 3 has stopped runningm"
Agent Hill's report came through the earpiece.
But after further checks, the technicians reported that the turbine itself wasn't damaged. However, sending people outside to repair it right now was simply impossible.
"Someone has to go out there and fix the engine!"
Agent Hill returned to her efficient, decisive mode as she delivered the concise report.
Nick Fury's face had been cut by the explosion. Enduring the sharp pain, he issued orders through the earpiece.
"Stark, do you copy?"
["I'm going to do the repairs right now!"]
There was no one more suitable for this job than the scientific genius Tony Stark.
Nick quickly glanced at Corin and saw that he was calm and composed, in stark contrast to the rest of them, who were in disarray.
At the same time, he checked on everyone's safety over the comms.
"Romanoff?"
The explosion had caused more damage than expected. At the moment, Agent Natasha was pinned by a collapsed steel beam, her leg trapped and unable to move.
Hearing the call in her earpiece, she responded immediately.
["I'm fine."]
Then she looked to the side at Dr. Banner, who had also been knocked to the ground by a large steel structure. He was kneeling there now, brow tightly furrowed, as if desperately suppressing something.
Natasha immediately realized that she might be fine right now, but in a moment, that might not be the case.
"What do you need me to do?"
Seeing how battered Nick Fury looked, Corin felt that he couldn't just stand by at a time like this. Since he was already here, he might as well step up.
At that moment, Hill's urgent voice came through Fury's earpiece again.
"If another engine goes down, we're finished."
The bald-headed man suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up as he looked at Corin and spoke solemnly.
"Don't let us fall out of the sky."
Corin had no objections to such a simple task. Even if all the engines were completely wrecked, he could still keep the Helicarrier moving.
Just making sure it didn't fall was ridiculously easy.
He agreed readily. Watching Fury hurry back toward the bridge, Corin also started walking after him.
"Things are getting lively."
At this moment, Hawkeye Barton had already led an assault team onto the Helicarrier deck, professionally directing his teammates, "Don't let them repair the engine. You, head to the sealed zone and wait for the cameras to go offline."
Tony finally reached the armor storage bay. As he activated the controller in his hand, the Mark 7 armor came online.
At the same time, Corin thought about the biggest threat to the Helicarrier, the Hulk.
'If I remember correctly, that mischievous guy is about to go on a rampage aboard the ship. I'll go play with him.'
Without stopping at the bridge, Corin focused and followed his spider sense, locating Natasha and Dr. Banner on one of the lower decks.
"You have to hold on, or you'll be doing exactly what Loki wants."
At this moment, Natasha ignored the fact that her leg was being firmly pinned down and tried to persuade Banner to stay calm and not let the Hulk out.
But it clearly had no effect. Amid roars of rage, Banner's body grew larger and larger, his skin turning green.
"What did I miss?", Corin gently raised his hand and activated magnetic control, slowly lifting the thick pipe pressing down on Natasha's lower leg.
"Thanks…", Freed, Natasha limped over to Corin, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at the green figure whose upper body had burst through his clothes.
"This is bad. Banner's transforming! Run!"
Without giving him a chance to respond, she grabbed Corin's hand and ran.
"Hey!"
Corin was about to say something, but Natasha dragged him along and bolted.
"ROAR!"
The Hulk was still in a state of pure rage. It seemed that everyone who appeared before his eyes was a target for his next attack.
Seeing the two slipping away, the Hulk roared and charged after them, his massive body plowing through the ship's structure like a bulldozer.
At that moment, a figure rushed in and slammed into the Hulk, knocking his enormous body flying far away. He crashed through a wall and tumbled into the aircraft maintenance hangar.
It was Thor.
There were many workers here. The moment they realized the danger, they scattered and fled.
But the Hulk only seemed interested in the one who had provoked him.
He swung a punch at Thor, which Thor barely blocked with his raised arm.
"We're not your enemies, Banner!"
Boom!
The Hulk's merciless punch was his response. Thor, with his godly body, turned into a streak of afterimages and was sent flying, slamming deep into layers upon layers of steel facilities.
"Alright, my turn."
Corin gently removed Natasha's tightly gripping hand from his wrist and said quietly.
"Calm down. You're not his mat—"
Romanoff was about to tell Corin not to act recklessly when she saw him wave his hand.
An off-road vehicle rose into the air as if summoned and accelerated straight into the Hulk.
BANG! Crash! Clatter!
The off-road vehicle twisted and shattered under the massive impact, and the Hulk was left reeling by the sudden blow.
Shaking his head, he turned his furious gaze toward Corin.
"Oh! My… th—"
Seeing that Corin had suppressed that humanoid beast, the Hulk, with a mere lift of his hand, Natasha's big, expressive eyes were filled with disbelief.
She suddenly remembered how she had just dragged Corin around trying to escape.
'What was that all about?'
She couldn't help but blurt out, "You're this strong, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Corin, who was walking toward the Hulk, paused for a moment when he heard that, then turned back and gave Natasha a look like an old man staring at a phone on the subway.
'Think about it yourself.'
At this moment, the Hulk snapped out of his daze, tore off an aircraft wing from a nearby plane, twisted his waist, and hurled it at Corin.
The wing spun rapidly, whistling through the air toward him.
Clang!
With a casual wave of his hand, Corin froze the wing in midair despite its massive momentum, then tossed it aside like a piece of trash.
Keeping things fair, Corin decided to return the favor and help this overly excited Banner calm down a bit.
He took a deep breath. Air rushed rapidly through his nostrils into his body, forming two powerful gusts in front of him.
Whooo!
Moments later, Corin exhaled all the air he had taken in, creating an icy storm that enveloped the Hulk's entire body.
Crack!
Even Natasha was affected by the cold. Ice gradually formed in her deep red hair, freezing solid in the blink of an eye.
With frost clinging to her eyelashes, Natasha hugged her arms and hunched over, instinctively resisting the oncoming chill.
But as she watched the Hulk's enormous body gradually get sealed inside a massive block of ice, Romanoff breathed out white mist and muttered.
"Holy crap… is Corin Superman?"
