Chapter Thirty-Four: The Lich King... Cannot Think Anymore
Hulk charged forward, shielding his head with one arm and barreling toward the armored vehicle equipped with sonic devices in an unstoppable frenzy. Around him, soldiers fired their weapons relentlessly, but the bullets could not pierce Hulk’s defenses; instead, they only fueled his rage.
Swept up in fury, Hulk glanced around, then crashed into a container truck, ripping off its doors and metal panels with brute strength. He hurled them like frisbees toward the encirclement where the sonic devices were stationed. The side door of the container, shrieking as it flew, embedded itself into the armored vehicle, igniting a fire and causing an explosion.
Last time, Hulk had suffered at the hands of these sonic weapons. Now, he focused on destroying them. He ripped more panels from the containers and flung them in all directions, setting off a chain of explosions along the street. Soldiers caught off guard were thrown by the blasts, and the hard-won encirclement was on the verge of collapse.
“Damn it!” Ross’s eyes were wide with rage.
With the greatest threat neutralized, Hulk turned his attention to the helicopter. He leapt upward, unable to reach it, crushed a car beneath him as he landed, and began dismantling vehicles to hurl them at the hovering Ross.
“Roar!” From the helicopter, Blonsky jumped down, growing visibly larger mid-air. Hulk saw him and was reminded of what happened in Brazil. With a mighty leap, Hulk soared dozens of meters high and collided with Blonsky in mid-air.
Boom! Like two missiles crashing to earth, Hulk and Blonsky slammed into the ground, tearing up the asphalt and sending stones flying.
Without giving his opponent a moment to recover, Hulk and Blonsky simultaneously sprang up from the ground, roaring as they clashed again. The force of their collision sent ripples blasting through the air, and the two powerful monsters began pummeling each other in the street.
Fists collided at dizzying speed. Each of Hulk’s blows was thunderous, his fury making him ever stronger. Buildings cracked, street fixtures collapsed, and the chaos intensified.
After several brutal exchanges, Hulk seized Blonsky and hurled him into a building, reducing it to rubble amid a cloud of dust. Buried beneath the debris, Blonsky was nowhere to be seen. Hulk stood outside, roaring at the helicopter, pounding the ground with rage, or lifting cars and throwing them at Ross still hovering above.
From the ruins, silence reigned. Hulk, seeing no movement, prepared to smash the debris burying Blonsky with a car, but was caught off guard—Blonsky suddenly burst forth, sending Hulk flying across the street.
Hulk’s massive body soared through the air, shattering glass with the shockwave, smashing through several columns before collapsing to the ground.
He spat and staggered upright, eyes blazing ever hotter until they turned red. He charged at Blonsky, who was still shaking his head clear.
The furious roar and rapid approach startled Blonsky, but his reactions were slow; the collision had left him dizzy. Hulk’s rage had reached a critical threshold, and he crashed into Blonsky with overwhelming force.
Blonsky was sent flying again, wrecking several cars before slamming into a wall.
Intent on giving his opponent no chance to recover, Hulk charged over as Blonsky struggled to his feet, pummeling him mercilessly within the building.
Blow after blow, Hulk’s fists struck with immense power, each roar louder than the last. Blonsky was battered helplessly from side to side. Soon, Hulk threw him into yet another building, preparing to charge again. The two monsters resumed their vicious struggle.
Blonsky’s experimental serum had proven its effectiveness. The military had witnessed its results, and Ross knew the main event was about to begin.

“Mr. Grommash, what do you intend to do?” Ross turned to the imposing figure seated with his axe.
The surrounding officers watched with curiosity in their eyes.
“Like this,” Grommash replied, gazing down at Hulk from above. He raised his battle axe and leapt down.
Everyone watched, eyes wide in astonishment—what kind of madman, seeing Hulk's power, would still dare confront him head-on?
“For the Lich King!” Grommash’s cry burst forth, a fierce aura radiating from him as his body grew larger!
Just as Hulk was about to finish off Blonsky, an axe descended from the sky, radiating a tremendous threat.
The battle axe, falling like a meteor, sliced through the air with a shriek under Grommash’s immense strength.
Leaping from the helicopter, Grommash already wielded Roald’s “Shut up, Priest!” and “Death Drain,” casting them upon Hulk.
Death Drain:
Trait: Extracts the opponent’s energy for personal use.
Description: In a decidedly unfriendly exchange, energy is drawn from Hulk—Hulk’s strength is immense!
Hulk roared at Grommash, hoping to repeat his previous tactic, but found his roar abruptly silenced.
Confused, Hulk’s simplistic mind faltered.
He tried again, but could not produce any sound.
His fury, unable to vent, was forced back inside, and his strength drained away.
As he prepared to leap, Grommash suddenly accelerated.

Bang!
From above, Grommash unleashed a mighty blow, striking Hulk’s head with the back of his axe.
A devastating strike.
Hulk collapsed instantly.
Grommash raised his battle axe triumphantly and finished his statement.
“Very easy…”
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Elsewhere, many others were watching this scene, instinctively rising to their feet.
In Tony’s room, seeing Grommash leap from the helicopter, Vikan feigned surprise, standing up with a look of shock. “War?”
“What war?” Coulson asked instinctively.
Nick Fury, somewhere else, perked up his ears.
“The embodiment of war—the most brutal and ruthless among the Four Horsemen of the Scourge—he’s here as well?”
Vikan, following Roald’s instructions, said this and stopped explaining, then hurriedly summoned Bone Wraith and charged out from the top floor of Stark Industries.
“Man, he’s cool,” Rhodes remarked, watching Vikan gallop through the void, patting Tony’s shoulder.
“Not at all. I’m already working on anti-Scourge armor…”
“Hey, watch out for the—” Coulson swallowed the rest of his warning as he watched Vikan ride through the air.
With Hulk’s issue resolved, Roald’s imposing spectacle concluded for the day.
He had not yet turned away when a voice called out:
“Hey man!”
