"Tony, I'm fine."
In the communication channel, Lin Huai's voice carried a hint of suppressed pain. "I looked directly at a high-Sequence Beyonder, and my eyes were injured. Fortunately, I have the protection of my Lord... but for a while... I won't be able to see. How is the scene now?"
"Just now, a streak of black smoke rushed down from the sky and burrowed into that red big guy's corpse," Tony's voice came through. "There's nothing for now... wait! It moved!"
"What moved?" Steve asked urgently over the channel.
"Oh God Almighty, its hand... its hand moved!" A S.H.I.E.L.D. observer's voice screamed over the command channel. "It's standing up! That headless corpse, it's standing up on its own!!!"
Under everyone's gaze, the Abomination's remains were like a string Puppet, limbs twitching stiffly as it slowly crawled up from the ruins.
At the cross-section of its neck, flesh writhed frantically, twisting and reorganizing in a way that defied biological common sense!
"Report, the target's skeletal structure is undergoing a violent change!"
Amidst the "Crack! Crack!" of explosive sounds, its body was forcibly stretched and twisted by an invisible force, quickly growing to a size similar to the Hulk. Beneath its skin, oily gray-black stiff hair sprouted like steel needles!
"Roar—!"
On the battlefield, the Hulk let out an angry roar as he looked at this familiar yet strange nemesis, then charged forward with great strides!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Hulk's fists fell like raindrops, smashing solidly against the Monster's ever-changing body, forcing it back repeatedly. Just as the Hulk was about to throw a decisive heavy punch, a giant hand covered in stiff hair shot up like lightning, firmly catching the Hulk's iron fist!
"It... it caught the Hulk!" Steve shouted over the channel.
Immediately after, the Monster raised its other hand, its five fingers snapping open. Its nails grew rapidly with a piercing grinding sound, turning into five sharp claws flashing with cold light!
Shrrrk—!
"Roar-aaaaagh—!"
An unprecedented cry of pain erupted from the Hulk's mouth! Five claw marks with turned-out flesh appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out!
"The Hulk's wounds aren't healing!" an Agent exclaimed over the communication channel. "No, they are healing, but very, very slowly! Something is preventing him from recovering!!"
"Awoooo—!"
A shrill, high-pitched wolf howl echoed through the night sky. The Monster had completely finished its metamorphosis; a hideous wolf head had grown from the tumor on its neck, its fangs exposed, and its crimson eyes held nothing but pure, unadulterated madness!
The Mad Wolf stared intently at the Hulk. The next second, its massive body turned into a streak of gray-black lightning and lunged forward! It completely abandoned any fighting techniques; claws and teeth were its only weapons.
"My God, it's tearing at the Hulk! The Hulk's arm!"
The Hulk was at a complete disadvantage; the Werewolf possessed greater speed and sharper weapons.
The Werewolf bit into the Hulk's shoulder, ignoring the heavy thuds of the Hulk's angry fists hitting its back, until it forcibly tore a large chunk of flesh from the Hulk's shoulder!
The Hulk's roars were full of pain and fury. He grabbed the Werewolf's scruff, trying to throw it off, but the Werewolf's claws were embedded deep in his muscles like iron hooks, while its other claw scratched at him frantically!
Green blood splattered everywhere. The green giant, who had once suppressed the Abomination, was now bloodied and in a wretched state. Though he could still stand, punch, and roar, the increasing number of wounds made him stumble.
On the plane, Lin Huai's heart sank as he heard the inhuman wolf howl and the Hulk's roars, which were gradually turning from anger into pain and frustration.
"Lin! That red big guy turned into a Werewolf! Just like in the myths!" Steve's anxious voice rang out again. "He's become incredibly mad, and our bullets can't hurt him at all! He's currently suppressing the Hulk. Do you know what's going on?"
Boom! The cabin Door opened, and Tony dropped in.
Seeing Lin Huai covering his eyes with a face covered in blood, he couldn't help but swear.
"Shit!!! How are your eyes? This is a far cry from 'no problem' as you said! Jarvis, quick, call the nearest medical team!! Black Brine Egg, do you have any medical personnel on site?!?!"
Enduring the soul-deep pain, Lin Huai was about to offer a prayer to the Fool Above the Gray Fog.
Just then, the air in front of him twisted without warning, opening a brilliant circular portal made of countless sparks of Fire.
A bald woman in yellow robes, leading a serious-looking young Asian male, stepped out from it.
"Jarvis, scan them! How did they get in?!?!" Tony's armor instantly entered combat mode, all weapons aimed at the two intruders. "This is my private plane!"
"Stark, let me heal him."
Ignoring Tony's wariness, the leading bald woman pointed a finger at Lin Huai, a soft and holy White brilliance lighting up her fingertip.
With a flick of her finger, that speck of light flew into the center of Lin Huai's brow.
A cool, holy power swept through his eyes, and all the pain and burning sensation vanished instantly.
Lin Huai slowly opened his eyes, his vision clearing. When he saw the face of the person before him, he sighed inwardly.
It seems I've been discovered after all. No, I should have been discovered long ago.
"Sorcerer Ancient One, are you here because of this? With you taking action, it seems things will be resolved very quickly."
The Ancient One took a deep look at the sky outside the plane and spoke calmly:
"As expected, you know me. The rift caused by those two big guys just now didn't just give birth to the Monster below; many Dimensional Demon Gods have also turned their gaze here. I must personally go and stop them."
Her gaze swept over Lin Huai, her tone brook no argument.
"You should be quite familiar with this Monster, so I'll leave it to you all. This is my disciple, Russell; he will stay behind to assist you. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, another larger portal opened behind the Ancient One. She stepped into it without looking back and vanished.
Lin Huai instinctively reached out his hand, wanting to ask her to stay.
"Consultant Lin! Quick!!"
While the cabin was silent, Nick Fury's urgent shout suddenly exploded from the communicator. "The Hulk is being suppressed; he's not going to make it! Think of something!!"
This shout pulled Lin Huai back to reality. He immediately looked through the porthole at the battlefield below, and with just one glance, his expression became extremely grave.
This is... Sequence 7... Werewolf!
He no longer hesitated and immediately issued orders: "Tony, go change your batteries, then fly into the sky to keep that Werewolf in check! In my memory, it has no long-range attack methods. Be careful, brother!"
Lin Huai then turned his head to look at the serious young mage still in the cabin and asked at a very fast pace, "Mage Russell, do you know any control spells? I need a way to slow down that black dog!"
