A massive Leviathan corpse lay in the center, and Harry had already dissected the thing using mechanical arms scattered throughout the "morgue."
The leviathan ship was actually a type of biological weapon. The Chitauri used neural link devices to control these behemoths, outfitting them with weapons, armor, and engines, while using their bodies for power.
It was a creature modified through genetic engineering, and Harry had already extracted many of its cells for tissue culture.
Clad in a protective suit, Harry was continuously embedding implants into these tissues and organs to observe their reactions.
Through tissue culture, Harry could clearly see the growth process of this creature, which furthered his understanding of the morphogenesis of alien organisms.
Now, if he were given a living Leviathan, he could do the same thing as the Chitauri—control the behemoth.
The entire process was witnessed by the Abomination, who was locked to the side. Watching the massive creature being cut apart bit by bit, only for organs to regenerate in petri dishes, the monster felt a chill run down its spine.
"Sergeant Bronski, you see, I've been quite good to you. You can still think freely, but these behemoths cannot."
As he spoke, Harry picked a small chip out of the Leviathan's brain tissue.
"Do you know why I wanted you to see this?"
The Abomination shook its head.
"Because I want you to know that if I modify you next time, it will be a scene just like this. The Abomination is a monster, a type of biological weapon, and Osborn has the confidence to master this weapon."
Finishing the final experiment, Harry approached the Abomination and pulled off his mask.
"However, Sergeant Bronski still has some human rights, so I would like to ask you a question:"
"Do you want to deeply enhance yourself and become an even more powerful Abomination, or do you want to change back into Emil Bronski?"
As Harry finished speaking, the screen in front of the Abomination played back his life—birth, school, meeting his ex-wife Nadia, getting married, serving in the British Royal Marines, being recruited by General Ross, going to Brazil and seeing the Hulk for the first time, and then voluntarily accepting the injection.
The Abomination's mouth opened slightly. Because the neural implants had adjusted his hormone levels, combined with his adaptation over this period, he was now able to think like a normal person.
These past events reminded him of what he had gained and what he had lost; now was the time for him to think about what he truly wanted.
"I... I want to be powerful... but I don't want to be the Abomination. I want to be a powerful Emil Bronski, but I am not the Abomination!"
Bronski's voice echoed in the laboratory.
The scene Harry had prepared for Bronski seemed to have shocked his mind, leading him to choose an option Harry hadn't given him.
But Harry was more interested in the changes in his psionic and consciousness levels—this Sergeant Bronski seemed to have overcome the insatiable desire brought on by the gamma serum.
In the comics, this Sergeant Bronski was defeated by the Hulk once again after killing Dr. Banner's wife, Betty.
But just when he thought the Hulk was going to kill him, Dr. Banner and the Hulk forgave the Abomination. Even more bizarrely, through Dr. Banner's forgiveness, Bronski also sobered up and realized he didn't want to be the Abomination—a rampaging monster.
But in the end, he was imprisoned by General Ross, and after watching a film of himself and his wife, he was killed by General Ross.
Perhaps this is fatalism; when Harry created a similar scene, Bronski actually woke up.
At this moment, the laboratory door opened.
The entire process had been watched by Dr. Banner, Tony, and General Ross; this was a promise Harry had made to them.
Tony and Dr. Banner were scientists "with principles," and General Ross was also quite repulsed by this technology of using neural implants to control human bodies, so they had made some demands.
So, Harry had arranged this "treatment," and to his surprise, it actually worked.
"General Ross? Dr. Banner?" Bronski was completely confused.
"Bronski," General Ross walked straight up to Bronski, "First, I want to apologize to you for the failure of the serum."
Bronski sniffed and said, "Save it, General Ross. And you, Hulk, are you here to laugh at me?"
General Ross continued, "I am here today representing S.H.I.E.L.D. to extend an invitation to you—join the Thunderbolts."
Bronski had been locked up here for a long time; he didn't know about S.H.I.E.L.D., nor did he know anything about the Thunderbolts, so he needed an explanation.
"Aliens attacked New York, causing massive destruction and casualties—greater than the destruction you caused. The President decided to specially establish a department to deal with such events, and you, Bronski, we need you to join."
"You need a monster like this?" Bronski sneered, "I don't think you guys are good people either, are you?"
"That is the reason why Dr. Banner is here."
The look in Dr. Banner's eyes as he gazed at Bronski was full of sympathy, which made him almost want to roar out loud—this was the look he least wanted to see.
Dr. Banner said, "Sergeant Bronski, I will do my best to help you. That serum should never have been used on humans; it is flawed."
Seeing that the Abomination had no intention of attacking him, the Hulk inside Dr. Banner did not riot.
Just as the group was communicating, Tony spoke to Harry from the side, "You've also studied psychoanalysis? Your method is quite useful; I've also been researching some situational therapy techniques recently."
Harry replied, "Then I suggest you stop researching it; you cannot surpass Osborn in the field of medical technology."
"Interesting joke."
Harry glanced at the arc reactor on Tony's chest—because the plot had changed, Tony hadn't removed that thing from his heart yet.
"Is that so? I am willing to provide you with a friendly heart shrapnel removal surgery; believe me, we are the most professional."
If the surgery fails, we can replace it with an artificial heart right there, followed by a full package of electric pacing care.
"Ha, interesting, but I can take it out myself." Tony's expression was a bit unnatural.
"Heh, so you just feel like this thing has connected you to the mark armor, right? I think you also need PTSD treatment."
Tony fell silent—actually, he had really thought about this matter.
On the other side, after Bronski learned in detail about what had happened during the years he was locked up, he nodded and agreed to General Ross's invitation.
The cell door holding Bronski slowly opened, and everyone's emotions grew tense, except for Harry, who was very confident in his design and perception; if Bronski had any hostility, the Abomination would immediately fall to its knees.
Watching Bronski walk out of his cage with a stable mood, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You know what? I've thought about it, and I think I'll go ahead and take that thing out of my heart." Tony suddenly said.
"Sure, but aren't you here today to test your Hulkbuster armor?"
The dome of the giant building slowly opened.
"Deploy your equipment."
