American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you all."

As he spoke, the Master of Illusions walked up to the Hulk and uttered a sentence with elegance.

“Mr. Hulk, if you want to completely break free from your current body and separate from Mr. Bruce Banner so that you can each be free, then please come with me.”

Hulk swallowed hard. On one hand, as strong as he was, he had never faced a master of mental strength before. Even a volatile and impulsive Hulk couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about this incredible ability.

Furthermore, it must be said that he was tempted.

Bruce Banner hates the Hulk, but doesn't the Hulk hate Bruce Banner, who has wanted to kill him since the beginning of his life?

The Hulk was tempted, and Bruce Banner was even more tempted. So, the two instantly reached an unprecedented understanding and obediently followed the Master of Illusions.

Once the illusionist led the Hulk into the restaurant behind them, everyone present, who had been temporarily controlled by the illusionist, regained their self-control.

Upon hearing this, General Ross went berserk: "Damn it, charge in and get the Hulk back!!"

He's completely out of control; no one can take the Hulk away from him, no one!!

However, before the soldiers could even get close to the restaurant, it began to disappear little by little before everyone's eyes. In just a few breaths, it vanished completely from their sight, as if it had never existed at all.

At this moment, Iron Man, who had also recovered, couldn't help but exclaim, "Fuck, Jarvis, what the hell is this ability?!"

The cold, artificial intelligence voice replied: "Sir, there was an abnormal fluctuation in your brain just now. It seems that someone forcibly and temporarily took over your brain and used it to perform the action just now."

"As for the latter one, it cannot be analyzed or understood."

Even Iron Man was dumbfounded: "Fuck, fuck, how many years have I been kidnapped?!"

Before he was kidnapped, he had committed a serious crime by shooting at police officers with several guns. Now, he's single-handedly confronting the army's Hulk!

A mysterious person who can instantly control thousands of people present and take over their minds.

And what about that inexplicable disappearance? An illusion? The problem is, what happened to the people who went in? That green monster that almost beat him to a pulp and destroyed several streets couldn't possibly have been an illusion either!

Are criminals these days so unscientific?

"Sir, you have been kidnapped for one month and seven days."

"Fuck, Jarvis, shut up! I don't need to know this! New York is becoming more and more unfamiliar!"

"Damn it, I suspect I wouldn't be surprised if aliens invaded Earth in a few days."

The cursing Iron Man soared into the sky. He needed to improve his suit. He had never felt so insecure before, as everything he owned was like a toilet that anyone could use.

.........

As the Hulk entered the restaurant, his gaze instantly fell upon a handsome young man smiling at him not far away. In an instant, the Hulk froze.

monster!

Even the illusion master who controlled thousands of people in an instant was just a weirdo with strange abilities to the Hulk. He was somewhat wary of him, but not afraid of him. The Hulk was never afraid!

But in that instant, for the first time in his life, the Hulk felt a sense of unease. Despite being a human, he felt as if a terrifying, incomprehensible being was looking down on him.

At this moment, the Hulk couldn't help but want to retreat and leave. This person felt countless times more dangerous to him than General Ross and the Mysterio beside him combined.

However, the Hulk, lost in his unease, didn't notice that a blue cat had appeared behind him at some point, seemingly closing a door. The door was already closed when Tom came to his senses, and suddenly everything went black.

"Come on!"

Without checking, one stomp turned a Tom into a puddle of Tom.

Even so, the Hulk was completely unaware and continued to back away.

Why bother?

"It's time for us to go back."

As Locke finished speaking, the Hulk, who had been retreating, instantly lost control of his body. At the same time, everything around him began to slowly disappear.

Chapter 47 Tom is very angry

Tom is very angry!

A cat, looking furious, sat in a corner, its eyes fixed on a certain direction, making no attempt to hide its hostility.

Not far away, the Hulk, who is over three meters tall, sat obediently on a small stool.

Cute.jpg!

Noticing that someone was staring at him, the Hulk instinctively turned his head and saw a cat. A smile (or rather, a ferocious one) immediately appeared on his big face.

brush!

Tom's fur instantly bristled!

Intimidation! This is intimidation!

This big green monster is scaring Tom!!

Tom dashed into Locke's arms and refused to leave.

Locke said with a strange expression, "Alright, Tom, Hulk isn't targeting you, he's just smiling at you."

With a "crack!" sound, Tom froze completely. No exaggeration, Tom really did turn to stone. With a series of cracking sounds, the entire Tom shattered into pieces on the ground.

The next moment, a hand appeared out of thin air, pulled out a broom from somewhere, and swept itself into a ball with a few swishes, automatically piecing itself back together to form a new Tom.

Hulk: ? ? ? ?

This outrageous move left even the Hulk looking completely bewildered.

Even more outrageous is that while the Hulk was still confused, Bruce Banner, whose madness was temporarily suppressed within him, went insane.

"Fuck, this isn't scientific!!"

Bruce Banner, who holds seven doctoral degrees, was so enraged by this utterly illogical scene that he actually managed to suppress Hulk's consciousness and revert to his human form!

Bruce Banner, now back in human form, stared intently at Tom. At this moment, Dr. Banner's worldview was in turmoil, and he was frantically ripping apart his scientific beliefs.

That look was a little intimidating, causing Tom to involuntarily shrink back and cautiously retreat behind Locke.

Intimidation! This is absolutely intimidation! He's threatening Tom!

Tom, who was hiding behind Locke, jumped and hopped around in anger.

Tom wanted to beat the other person up, but then he thought about how big the other person was after transforming, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Suddenly, Tom seemed to remember something, and stormed off, taking with him a dumbbell that someone had left in a corner.

Watching Tom's departing figure, Locke shook his head. Tom was indeed extraordinary, but he retained the rich emotions of a cat and always did things that made people both laugh and cry. Fortunately, Locke didn't mind these things and let him be.

The gaze returned to Bruce Banner: "Dr. Bruce Banner."

Bruce Banner took a deep breath: "Sir, you can just call me Dr. Banner."

Locke nodded: "Dr. Banner, do you want to completely separate from the Hulk inside you?"

Bruce Banner's eyes lit up instantly: "If I could, of course I would. I want to get rid of it almost every day, every moment. To me, it's a monster."

"Hulk is not a monster!" Bruce Banner's face instantly distorted, revealing the Hulk's huge face, and he roared furiously at Bruce Banner.

Bruce Banner, with a solemn expression and without fear, launched into a tirade: "Hulk, you are a monster, a monster I created! Your mind is filled with nothing but fighting and madness, your existence only brings destruction, you should never have existed in this world!"

"Hulk is not a monster!!" Hulk became increasingly enraged, and his entire body seemed to want to transform.

"Hulk, there's no need to get so worked up." Locke's voice rang out, and it was just a simple sentence, but it seemed to have some kind of magic, which actually suppressed Hulk, who was about to transform.

Looking at Bruce Banner, who had regained his human form, Locke's desire to communicate with him suddenly diminished considerably.

“Dr. Banner, I originally wanted to talk to you about the Hulk’s true origins. After all, in a way, you can be considered his father.”

"In retrospect, that didn't make any sense."

"Hulk's origins?" Bruce Banner looked puzzled. "Wasn't it a mutation that formed after I was exposed to gamma rays?"

"Yes and no, it is indeed a mutation, but it is also a miracle."

"Dr. Banner, the existence of the Hulk is a miracle that you, a Doctor of Seven Sciences, could never comprehend in your entire life."

Bruce Banner was instantly displeased; he felt his scientific literacy was being questioned.

"Snapped!"

A snap of fingers rang out.

Bruce Banner's body shuddered, and his entire soul was instantly shaken out of his body.

Floating in mid-air, Bruce Banner stared blankly down at his 'self,' who seemed to be asleep, his long-held scientific values ​​once again challenged.

“Is this… a soul?”

Locke nodded, and with a casual gesture, a flat mirror appeared beside Bruce Banner's soul. Bruce Banner subconsciously looked over, and was immediately filled with confusion and shock.

One soul, two appearances—it is him, and on the other hand, it is none other than the Hulk!

"Hulk...has a soul?" Bruce Banner murmured in utter shock.

He always thought Hulk was a disease, a monster hidden inside him, but he never imagined that Hulk actually possessed his own soul.

Having a soul means being a true life.

Hulk is essentially a real life form that coexists with him!

Locke didn't answer Bruce Banner's question, nor did he need to; it wasn't even a question.

"To separate you and Hulk, we'll need some methods and some preparations."

"You can stay here for the time being."

Bruce Banner nodded gravely, his mood unusually low.

As Locke turned to leave, a sneer appeared on his lips. He had originally thought that Hulk and Banner were actually a pair of arrogant brothers who disliked each other. Otherwise, Hulk would not have been willing to completely merge with Bruce Banner. So he suppressed his thoughts and chose to talk to Bruce Banner.

Only now does he realize that this is not the case at all. The more likely reason for Hulk's later disappearance is that his immature worldview was eroded by Bruce Banner's adult worldview, and he was eventually tamed in a daze, completely surrendering himself to Bruce Banner.

The Hulk at this point is still in a wild and untamed state, so there's really no need to talk about him much.

Bruce Banner has always believed that the Hulk is a disease, so he dislikes and resists him. Although the Hulk refutes this, his naive mind may not be entirely without belief. Now, the mystery has been revealed by Locke. The Hulk is not what Bruce Banner imagined. The long-standing resentment finally erupts, and the Hulk will want to leave the other even more than Bruce Banner.

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Second Heavenly Father

Locke sat cross-legged in a secret room. In the void was a high-purity crystal he had obtained from the world of Chronicle. At this moment, one-seventeenth or one-eighteenth of the crystal had been consumed.

Locke casually flicked his finger, revealing a fist-sized crystal. Looking at the fist-sized crystal floating in front of him, Locke's eyes blazed with intense eagerness.

He had already sensed it; he had reached the true limit of the first-class level on the surface. Even the invisible yet clearly perceptible bottleneck had shattered, leaving only a trace!

With just this one piece, this last piece, his chaotic power could instantly break through that barrier and step into the realm known as the Sub-Father!

The Father, even in the vast universe, can be called a true overlord.

Moreover, he is a sub-Father who has broken through the three ancient powers. His combat power will far exceed that of the search for the sub-Father. Even if he faces those weaker Fathers, he is not incapable of fighting them!

Locke took a deep breath, but instead of immediately choosing to break through, he waved his hand and took out another item, the Tesseract, which was personally delivered to him by the Ancient One.

A surge of chaotic power erupted and began to shake the surface of the Cosmic Cube. Gradually, some spatial power originating from the Cosmic Cube peeled off from it.

Locke used the power of chaos to begin manipulating the stripped spatial power. Instantly, the surrounding space twisted and formed layers of spatial barriers.

After most of the day had passed, the entire secret chamber had been transformed into a small world by the continuous accumulation of spatial energy.

Seeing this, Locke breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, picked up the high-purity realm he had prepared, and prepared to break through to the next realm.

He had no choice but to be cautious. In the Marvel universe, the only one who had clearly broken through to the level of the Celestial Father through his own efforts was the Awakened Thor.

The others either possess racial characteristics or are born gods, so naturally, the only awakened Thor became the one. The commotion he caused at the moment of awakening was quite significant, even blasting Hela, who was at the level of a Godfather, away. Therefore, no one knew how much of a commotion Locke's breakthrough would cause.

Strands of chaotic energy emanated, enveloping the fist-sized high-purity crystal layer by layer, and began to skillfully refine and absorb this high-purity crystal.

Time began to flow slowly...

I don't know how much time passed~

"Boom!"

A deep, powerful heartbeat sounded.

Then came the second tone, and then the third tone.

The sound of my heart beating became more and more frequent and louder, and in the blink of an eye, it sounded like thunder.

At one moment, Locke suddenly opened his eyes.
