Chapter 176: Global Hunt for the Hulk

The streets resemble post-war ruins and are littered with architectural debris and broken equipment from the Stark Building.

In addition, countless cars and buses that had no time to escape were smashed into pieces of copper and iron by falling building debris, so that the originally bustling streets were already full of devastation.

Burning car wreckage, as well as wailing innocent citizens are everywhere.

It's a post-apocalyptic scene.

Although just now Tony Stark has done his best to save those innocent unlucky citizens.

also dispatched all the suits in his warehouse, which can be said to be a thorough display of his hole cards in front of the world, and the cost is not huge.

However, even with this level, there are still casualties.

In fact, this is also an unavoidable thing, unless the ancient one, who controls the eye of Agomoto, makes a move to directly stop the flow of time in this space.

Or maybe Tony Stark has the speed of Quicksilver.

Only in either of these two situations can it be possible to save all innocent citizens.

Obviously, Tony Stark doesn't have either of these abilities.

At this moment, a huge fragment of the wall was suddenly pushed away from below.

Tony Stark, dressed in a steel suit, poked out from under the shards of the wall.

However, the first thing Tony Stark did after getting out of trouble was to carefully protect a terrified little girl in front of him, and then move her to a safe place as quickly as possible.

It wasn't until he had done this that Tony Stark breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just now, he saved the little girl from the splinters of the falling wall.

It's just a pity...... Tony Stark was not able to save the little girl's mother at the same time.

Not far away, in the ruins, a strand of long golden hair peeked through the cracks in the masonry, and the ends of the long golden hair were dyed a blinding red.

This is the mother of the little girl!

"Mom! Mom! ”

The little girl looked at where her mother was buried, cried out loudly and ran over.

Constantly grabbing her mother's long hair and shouting for her mother to hurry up and take her home, she was really scared now.

Tony Stark, who saw this scene, his eyes hidden under the steel visor instantly turned red.

"Bruce Banner! I won't let you go! ”

"Someday, I will let you come here in person and repent of everything you have done today!"

Tony Stark screamed in grief.

The Avengers who crawled out of the ruins around them all had red eyes at the same time.

It is as if he is sad for the betrayal of his comrades, and he seems to feel grief for the innocent citizens who died in today's terrible accident.

……

……

When Peter returns to New York City with Gwen, he immediately learns of what happened at Stark Tower.

I saw Peter look at the ruins of Stark Mansion and the devastated street scene presented to him by Deep Blue.

And, of course, there's the shocking scene captured on surveillance footage of Noor the Broken Realm leaving New York City.

It didn't take anyone to explain to Peter, just by taking a look at the appearance of Noor the Boundary-Breaker, Peter knew that this guy was the Celestial Hammer Venerable incarnated by the Hulk.

I'm afraid it's also the second Heavenly Hammer Venerable after Original Sin.

The new Heavenly Hammer Venerable was born much faster than Peter had expected.

After a few moments, Peter took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Then Peter said to the navy:

"Deep Blue, contact Tony Stark for me right away, I want to meet him."

"This time, it's definitely not as simple as the Hulk going out of control, we have to cooperate!"

Deep Blue didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, because even from the standpoint of artificial intelligence, it could realize how serious what happened this time.

And...... Deep Blue also vaguely guessed that Peter's trip to the North Pole this time may also be inextricably linked to the mutation of the Hulk.

"Understood, I'll contact Mr. Stark now."

The message that accompanied Peter's offer to meet was delivered to Tony Stark's side as quickly as possible.

The result was not surprising to Peter, and Tony Stark almost instantly agreed to the invitation to meet.

……

……

The day after the collapse of the Stark Building.

Peter had already appeared at the door of Tony Stark's extravagant coastal villa.

When Peter extinguished the thrusters on the soles of the nanometal suits, and then landed smoothly.

The door of the Coastal Villa has already opened automatically and consciously.

Jarvis's familiar voice was already ringing above Peter's head.

"Mr. Baxman, Mr. Stark is already waiting for you in the living room, please come in."

Peter nodded, and then he was not polite, and directly raised his feet and crossed the gate of the coastal villa, and then walked in the direction of the living room as if he had returned to his own home.

In fact, Peter had been to the Coastal House many times, and was indeed familiar with the layout.

But when Peter entered the living room, he immediately frowned.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Because, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol that filled the air throughout the living room at the moment.

Needless to say, Tony Stark must have drunk bad alcohol, even if Tony Stark was born with a lot of alcohol, it is impossible to drink so many spirits.

Sure enough, Peter soon found the familiar figure on the sofa in the living room, lying on the sofa and falling asleep.

It was none other than Tony Stark, who was very drunk.

And on his left hand, which hung down on the edge of the sofa, he still held a bottle of whiskey that he had drunk more than half of.

Peter kept shaking his head when he saw it.

Next, Peter also strode over unceremoniously.

Then, he pulled the drunken Tony Stark up from the couch.

Then Peter grabbed Tony Stark's shoulder and shook it vigorously.

This is the time to finally wake up Tony Stark.

"Ling...... Who are you? Oh...... I remember, you're Baxman......"

"I remember, you're coming to meet me, damn it...... I drank a little too much last night, Jarvis, why didn't you remind me? ”

In the end, Tony Stark also wanted to put the blame on Jarvis and try to turn Jarvis into a backbiter.

It's a pity that Jarvis is not used to being an unreliable boss, and immediately issued a strong denial.

"Mr. Stark, you're telling an incorrect fact, I reminded you eight times last night, and I didn't continue to remind you until you chose to silence me for eight hours."

In order to enhance the credibility of his words, Jarvis even listed very detailed data, which made Tony Stark completely speechless.

"Jarvis, it looks like you've really grown up......"

"Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Stark."

"Damn it, you've learned to taunt, haven't you? Do you want me to change your underlying logic code? ”

"Mr. Stark, you're mistaken, I don't mean anything sarcastic."

Seeing that the between Jarvis and Tony Stark is ready to continue.

Peter also hurriedly stopped the two guys and brought the topic back on track.

"I said, Tony, are you funny about getting angry with the AI you created?"

"Let's get down to business! How are you going to handle Dr. Banner's matter? Now the whole of New York is waiting for you to hold a press conference! ”

Seeing that Peter was brought back to Dr. Banner, Tony Stark sat back down on the couch in a daze.

"How? Apologize, make amends, find someone...... Then let him accept the punishment. ”

Tony Stark gave a very formulaic answer.

Peter nodded in satisfaction at this point.

"I like your answer, but the question is ...... Where are you going to find someone? As far as I know, Dr. Banner was obscured by some mysterious energy after leaving the confines of New York City, and even a simultaneous search by satellites around the globe would not be able to confirm his location. ”

"Do you think I don't want to look for it? There's no one in the world who is more desperate to find that bastard than I am! ”

"I wanted to grab him by the neck and ask him why he did that! Seven lives! Seven innocent lives were lost because of him! ”

Tony Stark muttered to himself with a wounded beast-like roar as he decadently clutched at his own stray hair.

There is no longer the chic posture of the playboy of the past.

Now Tony Stark is clearly devastated and caught in a terrible vortex of self-doubt.

If Tony Stark can't pull himself back from this dead end in time, the consequences will be dire.

Peter could only sigh at this.

He knew that the Avengers' betrayal this time would still have a terrible impact on Tony Stark.

Therefore, Peter is also preparing to pull the other party back quickly, otherwise he will lose a powerful helper in the battle against the God of Fear and the Heavenly Hammer Venerable.

Peter stretched out his palm, then patted Tony Stark on the shoulder.

"I understand how you feel now, the betrayal of your companions, the doubts and cold eyes of the world, you can't help but wonder if what you have done before is worth it, right?"

Tony Stark felt his heart being spoken by Peter.

"You...... How can I understand my mood at the moment? ”

Peter looked at Tony Stark in front of him, and his eyes became a little complicated.

Tony, Tony, I can not only understand your current feelings, but in fact, compared to what you will encounter in the future, the current setbacks are just minor troubles.

Peter just said this sentence silently in his own heart, and did not say it to Tony Stark, so as not to have an unnecessary impact on the future timeline.

So, Peter just casually found a reason to prevaricate.

"Because I've been betrayed by my peers in the past, I understand your feelings, but I won't talk about that now, and continue to talk about Dr. Banner and the hammer."

Hammer?

When Tony Stark heard this word, he instantly came to his senses.

"You know about the hammer that fell from the sky?"

"That's right, I also know that Dr. Banner's mutation only came into contact with that hammer."

"Sure enough, that's my guess, but I've investigated the origin of the hammer and found only a notice from the Federation's Outer Space Defense Command Center."

The content of the notice indicates...... The hammer suddenly appeared in near-Earth space and broke through directly into the Earth's atmosphere. ”

"I also know that this announcement is actually seven hammers that appeared at the same time, so I'm afraid Dr. Banner will not be an exception, and there will be more monsters in the future, and these monsters will be under unified command."

"Wait...... Do you want to say that all this is a conspiracy from alien forces, and as long as they come into contact with these creatures that hold the hammer, they will mutate? ”

Tony Stark's eyes widened as he watched Peter say the thought that had just crossed his mind.

"Congratulations, you went in the same direction as me."

"Actually, things are more complicated than you think, I've already investigated the origin of this alien force, but I'll talk to you about it later."

Peter's words changed sharply and he began to state his plan.

"I'm going to monitor more than 99 percent of the surveillance cameras around the world at the same time, and I'll be the first to know anything related to Dr. Banner and those hammers."

"Coupled with the intelligence network that S.H.I.E.L.D. has, with the combination of the two, it wouldn't be difficult to find Dr. Banner and the other six hammers."

Tony Stark was also shocked when he heard that Peter was ready to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D.

It turned out that when he was drunk, Peter had already done so much preparation to deal with the Heavenly Hammer Venerable.

For a moment, the proud Tony Stark couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt.

However, it is precisely because of this trace of guilt that Tony Stark can be more determined to devote himself to the next work.

"Understood, I'll use Stark Industries' resources and have Jarvis help participate in this global manhunt."

When Tony Stark made such a firm statement, Peter knew that the last piece of the puzzle he was missing was finally completed.

Soon, a global manhunt for Hulk and the rest of the Heavenly Hammer Venerable will soon be in full swing.
