I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Banner looked embarrassed when he heard Thor's words and explained earnestly.

You're saying Malekith is dead?

"Is Jane alright?"

When Thor heard that Malekith was dead, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief.

"It was because we needed to get out of Miss Jane Foster's body that it took us a while to kill Malekith."

"She's doing well now."

"I'll tell you the details later. Right now, I'll help you kill this cursed warrior."

Banner spoke up after hearing Thor's words.

"He's very strong physically, be careful."

When Thor heard Banner's confident words, although he wanted to help, he knew that Banner was already injured and that staying away would be the best help he could give. Therefore, he simply explained the information.

"Just make sure you're comfortable with it."

"When it comes to physical strength, I've never been afraid."

Banner revealed two rows of white teeth upon hearing Saul's words.

Banner then charged straight at the cursed warrior who was slowly getting up and threw a punch at him.

When the Cursed Warrior saw that the Hulk had actually returned, he threw a punch in response.

When the two enormous fists collided, a terrifying shockwave, visible to the naked eye, erupted from between them.

The surrounding broken stones were swept away, and a circular pit appeared where the two were standing.

Thor's eyes widened when he saw the physical power Banner unleashed; he hadn't expected Banner to be so strong.

"I've been waiting for an opponent like you for a long time."

When Banner saw that the cursed warrior had taken his punch head-on and hadn't been knocked away, but had only retreated less than half a meter, an excited smile appeared on his face.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Banner swung his left hand like a heavy hammer, sweeping across the room.

The Cursed Warrior immediately blocked the attack, but when he caught Banner's blow, he felt a power even more terrifying than his own, and his eyes narrowed.

A terrifying force assaulted the cursed warrior's body, causing even the bones within him to tremble.

The cursed warrior's feet lost their footing, and just as he was about to fly away, Banner stepped directly on the cursed warrior's foot.

The power of the feet is often greater than that of the fists. Hulk himself fights only by instinct, often throwing punches but not kicks.

Although Hulk has only ever fought with his hands and fists, his strength is already enough to make many people despair, but that is far from the full extent of Hulk's power.

Now that Banner can perfectly control the Hulk's power, he naturally won't just use his hands and not his legs like before.

The stomp caused the shrine to tremble violently, and the cursed warrior's foot was crushed to pieces.

Banner's strength is now unmatched by few; even Tony has to use his hidden trump cards.

Only then could they gain some advantage over Banner and temporarily defeat him.

However, this does not mean that Banner is weak. When facing other enemies, Banner in his Hulk form will be a monster that is difficult for others to deal with.

The cursed warrior's left foot shattered, and the excruciating pain made him groan, realizing that he had encountered an opponent whose physical strength was equally formidable.

However, his foot was injured at this moment, and his only option to survive was to kill the Hulk in front of him, otherwise he would have no chance to escape.

I'm going to kill you!

Therefore, the cursed warrior also let out a roar and took the initiative to attack.

When the punch landed on Banner's face, it only caused Banner's head to tilt slightly.

Banner spat out two teeth and smiled.

The Cursed Warrior was also incredulous to see that the Hulk had taken his punch and only suffered minor injuries.

But Banner was hit, and it wasn't in his nature not to fight back, so he slapped the cursed warrior on the head with both hands.

Sometimes, a fist is less effective than a palm strike, especially when attacking a vulnerable area like the head.

Banner's terrifying impact directly struck the cursed warrior's brain this time.

The cursed warrior's brain was shaken, and he saw multiple images before his eyes.

Banner saw the cursed warrior's body begin to sway and grabbed the cursed warrior's foot.

Then, like a sledgehammer, it kept smashing the ground, creating a deep crater with each strike.

This scene was terrifying, like a giant monster going berserk, destroying everything around it.

The cursed warrior, being swung at as a weapon, could not withstand the strain on his body, constantly spitting out blood, and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

In just over ten seconds, the Cursed Warrior was smashed to death by Banner, who used him as a weapon. His massive body sank into the ground and died without a sound.

With Banner's rampage, the already crumbling shrine, weakened by the battle, began to collapse.

"..."

Seeing that the shrine was showing signs of collapse, Banner realized he had messed up and stood there stunned.

"What are you standing there for? The shrine is about to collapse! Get out of here!"

Thor was amazed by Banner's incredible strength as he saw him brutally kill the cursed warrior. At the same time, he noticed signs of the temple collapsing. Looking at Banner, who was standing still and seemingly lost in thought, Thor shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Banner grabbed the cursed warrior's corpse and ran outside.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Thor and Banner, the Asgardian palace that had stood for countless years slowly collapsed.

"Sorry, I think I messed up."

Banner looked at the collapsed temple, now restored to its original state, and a look of shame appeared on his face. He had come to help, but instead, he had destroyed the Asgardian temple.

The Hulk's power is so great that he can easily cause damage to his surroundings if he is not careful.

"It's alright, you didn't mess it up. Killing the cursed warrior was a huge help."

“Tony is right. Asgard was invaded by the dark elves, so some casualties and destruction were inevitable.”

"The important thing is whether we can successfully thwart Malekith's plan."

"Thanks to you, we have won this battle completely."

Seeing Banner's ashamed expression, Thor reached out and patted Banner on the shoulder. Although there was some reluctance in his eyes, he still smiled and comforted him.

The shrine existed from the moment he was born, so it has a history of at least 1,500 years.

Now, due to the battle triggered by Malekith's invasion, it has collapsed, and anyone would feel a sense of loss.

However, Thor also understood that as long as the people of Asgard were protected, the palace where the king resided would one day be built.

Now Malekith is dead, and so is Malekith's greatest asset, the cursed warrior.

So this invasion by Malekith and the Dark Elves is about to end in total annihilation.

Banner felt much better after hearing Saul's words of comfort.

He really wanted to help, but the Hulk was too powerful, and he would need to put in a lot more effort to help properly.

"Let's go, let's go find Tony and check on the situation."

"We in Asgard will handle the construction of the temple and other tasks."

Seeing that the guilt in Banner's eyes had lessened considerably, Thor smiled and said...

Banner nodded upon hearing this and immediately began heading towards Thor's Great Hall.

When Banner and Thor returned to their residence, they saw Tony playing with a red gemstone that was as beautiful as a ruby.

"Tony, where did the Aether power go?"

Banner looked around and, noticing the disappearance of the Aether Force, asked anxiously.

"This in my hand is the power of ether."

Tony pinched the ruby ​​between his thumb and forefinger and began to speak.

Isn't the power of ether an irregular and unstable form of energy?

Upon hearing this, Banner stared intently at the ruby ​​in Tony's hand and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know the specifics, but after Malekith died..."

"The etheric power within him coalesced into this ruby."

"Moreover, the energy has become incredibly stable."

Upon hearing this, Tony tossed the ruby ​​in his hand directly to Banner and said...

Banner caught the object as it flew over, then examined it closely and saw the energy contained within the gem flowing in an orderly fashion.

"If it didn't disperse directly, is there any way for us to study it?"

"Didn't Malekith say that we need to use witchcraft to manipulate the power of the aether? How are we supposed to do it if we don't know witchcraft?"

After looking at it carefully, Banner spoke.

“I’ve already had Jarvis analyze and study it.”

"The unstable etheric power does indeed require special energy to activate, which is what Malekith called witchcraft."

"However, with such stable etheric power right now, it shouldn't be difficult to manipulate and research it."

Tony, without any concern, spoke up upon hearing this.

Hearing this, Banner felt relieved.

"The problem is that this gem, formed from the power of ether, is also a treasure belonging to Asgard."

"So we need to pay Saul back first, and then we'll have to borrow from you."

Seeing that Banner was relieved, Tony looked at Thor and spoke.

Thor wanted to retrieve the Tesseract to repair the Bifrost, so Tony, who had planned to borrow it for research, was temporarily unable to do so.

Now, he naturally wanted to borrow this ruby ​​formed from the power of ether to study it.

Both Banner and Tony have witnessed the wonders of the Aether. If this energy could be manipulated, it could definitely be used to develop advanced technologies that no one else could replicate.

Thor hadn't said anything because he and Jane had exchanged greetings when they returned to their main hall.
