I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 188 Banner Appears

From the outside perspective, this thrilling street battle in New York City ended with Tony Stark defeating and capturing the out-of-control Obadiah Stane and his giant Iron Monger.

Despite numerous eyewitnesses claiming to have seen a strange red light and an incredibly fast silver shadow.

However, these details, under the influence of official reports and mainstream media, were quickly attributed to lighting effects from the battle and the illusions of eyewitnesses.

Afterwards, Tony made a groundbreaking decision at a press conference.

Facing countless flashing cameras, he abandoned his usual carefree and arrogant image as a wealthy man and declared firmly, "That's right, I am Iron Man."

This statement was like a bombshell dropped globally, instantly igniting all news channels.

The existence of the Mark armor is no longer a vague urban legend or military secret, but a groundbreaking technology that is on the table and capable of overturning the landscape of modern warfare.

The United States Congress reacted swiftly, immediately issuing a subpoena for Tony Stark to appear at a hearing. Their purpose was obvious: they not only wanted Tony to hand over the core technology of the miniaturized tokamak device, but also to completely master the manufacturing method of the Iron Man armor.

The state apparatus has set its sights on this strategic power capable of dominating the world.

The other protagonist in the incident, Obadiah Stane, was reportedly killed instantly by the violent impact and implosion when his Iron Monger was destroyed.

Only a very small number of people know the truth.

The energy of the chaos magic penetrated the thick armor and directly shattered Obadiah's heart meridian.

This ambitious man didn't even have time to utter a wail before his imperial dreams vanished completely.

New York, in Ye Feng's quiet apartment.

"Wanda, how's the cleanup operation within S.H.I.E.L.D. going?" (Just call it S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm too lazy to write the real name.)

Ye Feng flipped through an ordinary book and asked without looking up.

"The situation is almost exactly as you expected."

Wanda answered respectfully, but with a hint of disdain in her tone.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been infiltrated. According to my investigation and magical intuition, at least two-thirds of its personnel are openly or covertly loyal to Hydra."

"Nick Fury still thinks he's in control, but he doesn't even realize he's being sidelined. Hydra's Insight program has been secretly progressing right under his nose."

This is undoubtedly a huge irony.

The massive organization, dedicated to protecting world security, has long had its foundations eroded by its enemies.

"Did Alexander Pierce not notice anything during the process?"

Ye Feng casually asked again, his tone as indifferent as if he were asking about the weather today.

"Don't worry, no."

"I strictly followed your instructions and did not carry out a large-scale physical purge. Instead, I used chaos magic in combination with ancient incantations to silently control most of the core Hydra members on a mental level."

"As long as I don't actively activate the incantations deep in their souls, they will appear no different from usual and will continue to act according to their original instructions. They themselves will not even be aware of anything unusual."

Wanda smiled confidently.

This was precisely Ye Feng's deeper purpose in sending Wanda to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.

He himself was too lazy to handle these tedious infiltration and control tasks personally, and Wanda's chaos magic was undoubtedly the most perfect tool to accomplish such a task.

All of this, naturally, took place without Nick Fury's knowledge.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Feng closed the book in his hands and expressed his approval of Wanda's work.

"Your Majesty, I—I have a question."

"With the power you possess, even if you were to directly rule the entire Earth by force, I doubt anyone could stop you, right?"

"Why do we need to go through such a long and complicated process to plan this out?"

Wanda hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

In Wanda's view, the godlike power that Ye Feng displayed was unattainable and beyond comprehension.

She couldn't understand why an existence with such power would still follow worldly rules and engage in such tedious schemes.

"It's easy to rule a planet, but it brings a lot of trouble."

"Moreover, during this special period, there are some things that I am not comfortable doing in person."

"Revealing my existence in the universe too early might attract some unnecessary attention."

Ye Feng's gaze seemed to pierce through the walls, looking into the endless void.

Since arriving in the Marvel Universe, which is currently at the point of Ragnarok, he has kept a low profile as much as possible.

Although he intervened in some events, he did not significantly alter the basic course of history.

In addition to adopting and raising Wanda and Pietro, he also raised them.

This is not out of fear or timidity, but rather to avoid causing too much of a ripple in the river of time, lest it be discovered by the ancient gods lurking in the shadowy ancient realm.

Upon hearing this, Wanda nodded thoughtfully.

She vaguely remembered Ye Feng mentioning a massive crisis that could sweep across the entire universe in the future, which added a sense of heaviness to her heart.

"Um?"

Just then, Ye Feng suddenly raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through space, looking towards the distant south.

A familiar yet wild energy fluctuation was clearly reflected in his perception.

"Finally back."

He muttered to himself.

He sensed the Hulk's presence.

Just like the original historical trajectory, Ye Feng did not interfere with the process of Bruce Banner's transformation into the Hulk.

Because he knew very well that this was a crucial historical juncture in most parallel universes.

In most of the Marvel multiverses, Bruce Banner is the core embodiment of the Gamma Force.

To rashly change this baseline is tantamount to throwing a boulder into a calm lake, which will inevitably stir up unpredictable temporal turbulence. He has no intention of actively provoking such trouble.

"The gamma gate within his body seems to have stabilized, or even closed?"

"This greatly reduces the risk of contacting him."

Ye Feng carefully sensed it.

In his perception, the gamma energy within Banner's body, which had been surging wildly and connected to a deeper dimension, had now become relatively balanced and closed.

This means that the Hulk of this universe is not a special container chosen by 0BA under all things.

Even if this Hulk is stronger than the regular version, its potential will most likely be limited to the level of Green Sorrow.

While the Green Hulk is very strong, capable of defeating the Illuminati and Sentinels with the power of millions of stars on his own, his power level is still within Ye Feng's control.

The reason Ye Feng didn't go to find Banner as soon as he became the Hulk was because he was wary of the source of the Gamma Force.

The most terrifying form of the Hulk is undoubtedly the God of Destruction, who serves as the vessel for OBA beneath all things.

In that state, Hulk's power was so great that it could reboot the entire omnipotent universe; even the Living Tribunal couldn't withstand a punch from the God of Destruction, Hulk.

That's an outrageous concept that even Marvel itself struggles to explain.

Although a patch eventually revealed that OBA was a dark manifestation of 0AA, which is above all things, Ye Feng had personally ventured into the Hell Dimension.

In the process of searching for Doom's mother and Johnny's soul, I experienced the ultimate evil and vaguely sensed the terrifying will slumbering beneath the infinite hell.

In his understanding, OBA is far more than just a simple incarnation of OAA.

It is highly likely that OAA and OBA are the two opposite sides of the same supreme being, somewhat similar to the benevolent and malevolent aspects of the supreme god in some mythological systems.

Of course, this is currently just Ye Feng's speculation based on his own knowledge.

In his memory, in a Thanos solo comic book from a certain universe, the power of 0AA had once leaked out.

Neither Thanos, the Heart of the Universe, nor Thanos, the Reality Controller, could defeat the other.

In the end, they could only barely persuade Thanos to give up on his own.

When Ye Feng left that world, the status of the OAA creator was already in grave danger.

"A crisis from beyond dimensions—the water in this universe is deeper and more unfathomable than imagined."

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, temporarily suppressing thoughts of even greater threats like CAAT in his mind.

It's too early to think about those things now.

He refocused his attention on Banner.

The closure of the Gamma Gate within the opponent's body means that this Hulk has lost its almost limitless growth potential, becoming stronger the angrier he gets, and his power ceiling is essentially locked.

Without the gamma energy supply from OBA, the Hulk's power ceiling will most likely remain at the sub-Celestial level, making it difficult to truly reach the Celestial level.

"Such a relatively safe sample is indeed of great research value."

Ye Feng stroked his chin, his interest piqued.

To be honest, he has always been interested in the Hulk's unique form of energy, but he was previously hesitant because of the potentially huge causal relationships involved.

"I wonder if the cultivation system of the microcosm can reconcile the two split personalities of Banner and Hulk?"

"Since the personality split was caused by acquired stimuli, theoretically there should be a possibility of fusion or integration —"

Ye Feng was making plans in his mind.

Many people believe that Hulk is merely a product of gamma radiation, but in reality, the severe psychological trauma and personality split caused by Banner's childhood abuse by his father were the breeding ground for the Hulk's personality.

The shadows of his childhood are an unhealable wound in Banner's heart, and also the root of Hulk's anger.

With that in mind, Ye Feng no longer hesitated.

The space in front of him rippled gently like water, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the apartment.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Feng had already silently appeared in the room where Bruce Banner was hiding.

The other party returned to New York at Mr. Lan's invitation.

We will return to study the serum that inhibits the Hulk.

You could say it was a success, or you could say it wasn't.

After all, this serum is a single-use product.

After the Hulk adapted, the serum and such became a joke.
