He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 77 Banner Gets!

Most importantly, Banner learned from Dr. Stern that the Li Group had invested heavily in research and had already made some breakthroughs.

It's impossible to abandon the research just because he objects.

Perhaps, once he recovers, he should stay and help, as Dr. Stern suggested.

This will at least prevent more serious problems from occurring.

It's just a matter of whether Li Chuan would be willing to take him in, since he still has the trouble of General Ross on his hands, and taking him in would mean going against a general.

And so, with Banner feeling slightly uneasy and worried, the group arrived at the laboratory of the Lee Group's production base in the suburbs of New York.

It was nearly nine o'clock, and the factory workers had already left work.

Outside the lab, Li Chuan looked at Banner, who was strapped to the bed with special steel rings, and thought to himself:

"This bed is made of the strongest alloy material that I got from Tony. I wonder if it can withstand your efforts."

For safety reasons, Li Chuan had previously asked Tony for the best alloy materials to make this metal bed specifically designed to help Banner inject the antidote.

He had tried before, and if he were tied to this bed, unless he used ninjutsu, he would not be able to break free even if he used his physical body and chakra to unleash his full power.

"here we go!"

Inside the laboratory, after Banner was completely immobilized, Stern turned on the machine and slowly injected the antidote he had made into Banner's body.

With the injection of the antidote, the Hulk gene within Banner instantly awakened, his pupils turned green, and his muscles began to swell rapidly.

"Hulk!"

With a roar, the supposedly strongest alloy material that Tony had given them began to slowly deform, as if it would be broken at any moment by the Hulk, who had transformed into the Hulk.

Seeing this, Betty, who had been standing nearby, jumped onto Hulk's stomach, then bent down and hugged Hulk's big head, beginning to soothe him gently.

Upon seeing Betty, the enraged Hulk instantly calmed down, and his eyes softened.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Stern immediately started the machine to inject the second phase of the antidote.

With the injection of the second-stage antidote, the green gene gradually faded, and the powerful Hulk transformed back into Banner.

"That strength is fucking amazing!"

Li Chuan stared intently at the completely deformed metal bed inside the laboratory through the glass.

In fact, he had a premonition that the high-strength alloy provided by Tony would probably not be able to withstand the Hulk's power. After all, the Hulkbuster armor he had made was destroyed by the Hulk with his bare hands.

Perhaps only Wakanda's vibranium could truly trap the Hulk, and even then, it's only a possibility.

Then consider Thanos, who could single-handedly overwhelm the Hulk with his physical prowess—how terrifying he must be! And then there's Odin, the Ancient One, and all those other dimensional demons and gods existing in the multiverse.

In the Marvel universe, there are far too many powerful beings. If he doesn't improve his strength as quickly as possible, he'll be doomed no matter which one he encounters in the future.

"Dr. Banner, how are you feeling? Have you returned to normal?"

Li Chuan opened the laboratory door and went inside, asking with concern.

Banner loosened his grip on Betty:

"The antidote should have been successful; I can no longer sense his presence."

"No, no, no, whether it's successful or not, we still need to wait a while to collect your blood. If there are no more green genes in it, then we can confirm that it's truly a success."

It's very likely that this is only a temporary suppression. The green genes in your body are very stubborn and not so easy to completely eliminate. This involves gamma pulses.

Upon hearing Banner's words, Stern quickly came over to explain.

"That means the problem isn't completely solved yet. Here's what we'll do: Dr. Banner and Dr. Betty, you're both friends of Dr. Stern, so you can stay here for now and leave when we're sure things have really returned to normal."

Li Chuan nodded and smiled.

Returning to normal is definitely not an option; the Hulk's genes are incredibly powerful. Even after Banner joined the Avengers for so many years, and even with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D., they still couldn't eliminate him.

In the end, he had no choice but to merge with the Hulk, becoming a half-Hulk form dominated by Banner's consciousness.

Unless he faces a life-or-death crisis, Banner will not transform into the Hulk. He no longer needs to consciously control his emotions, and excitement and anger have no effect on him.

But if he really faces death, Hulk will still appear.

"Dr. Stern and Mr. Li Chuan, we have already caused a lot of trouble. I'm afraid if we continue to stay here."

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Banner hesitated.

Ross, who was hunting him down, was a general, and he was afraid that if he were exposed, it would cause trouble for Li Chuan and Stern.

Li Chuan waved his hand:

"General Ross? Don't worry, I still have some connections, at least on the surface he can't touch me. I will also do my best to protect your safety."

Moreover, the research data you gave Dr. Stern will be of great help to our future drug development.

If you don't mind, it would be great if you could offer some suggestions on developing new drugs while we wait for the antidote's effectiveness to be verified.

When the experiment failed, Banner transformed into the Hulk and fled in a frenzy. Betty immediately and secretly copied all the research data, handing it over to Banner when he came to see her yesterday.

After arriving in New York and meeting Stern, Banner handed the document over to Stern.

This data from the military research on super soldier serum and Hulk mutations is naturally very useful to Li Chuan, who wants to extract a new drug from the two genes.

"Okay then!"

Banner turned to look at Betty, and seeing Betty nod, he thought for a moment and agreed.

He considered that Li Chuan was no ordinary person and might actually be able to help them avoid being hunted down by General Ross. In addition, he had always been worried that the genes in Li Chuan's body were too terrifying and that the new drug might not be safe.

Staying here is both helping and a form of oversight.

If the new drug is unstable, he absolutely must stop Li Chuan from selling it; it is his responsibility.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange accommodations for you. You can contact me directly if you need anything."

Seeing that Banner agreed, Li Chuan's face showed a noticeable smile.

Stern, Ethan, Banner, Betty, along with Smith and Lister from Sokovia, and the military and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research data on the super soldier serum, as well as all the data on the Hulk's birth.

With this lineup, it might not be so quick to develop a stable drug that can improve physical attributes.

However, developing a new drug that can cure terminal illnesses shouldn't be a big problem.
