Chapter 189: Banner's Despair

After a brief chat with Geralt's family, Ron did not stay too long and soon brought Armstrong to the home of the last member of the team.

"Where's your dad?" Ron leaned against the wall and stared at the sneaky Atreus and asked, "Why can't I see him?"

"Uncle Kratos has gone on a mission!"

As he was talking, Xiaoyu's voice came from the side. She said with curiosity:

"Mr. Ron, what exactly do you do? I asked Uncle Long and Dad, and they both said vaguely that you are very powerful, but they didn't tell me how powerful you are. I also asked Grandpa Gu Yi, but he just told me to stay away from you to avoid being infected by bad things!"

"Slander! It's all because of that slander by Old Biden from Ancient One."

Hearing Chen Xiaoyu's question, Ron curled his lips and said with disdain: "I, Ron, have always been happy to help others and protect the world without asking for anything in return. Xiaoyu, stay away from that old man in the future. As the saying goes, an old man who is still alive is a thief. Gu Yi has lived for so long that he must have become mentally ill. Otherwise, he wouldn't be holding the tiger talisman all day to ensure his mental health."

"Um...really?"

Xiaoyu expressed her doubts, because before that, Gu Yi told her in person, "If Ron, that little Biden hears that you met me, he will definitely try every means to discredit you."

Although Ancient One predicted Ron's prediction, these two people were smearing each other, and for a moment Xiaoyu didn't know who to believe.

"Of course it's true. When has your uncle ever lied to you?" Ron patted his chest.
"How about this? You can steal a few more talismans and I'll find a superhero to team up with you. We can go to the streets to do justice and the team will be called the Dragon Team. What do you think?"

"Really?!" Xiaoyu's face showed a look of surprise.

"When has Uncle Luo ever lied to you~" Ron looked relaxed.

"Great! Then I must design a super cool battle suit! Haha! Atreus, what style do you want? Then we can act together!"

"Ah? Me? I want one too?" Hearing this, Atreus rubbed his head and then looked at Ron. After seeing Ron's confused face, Atreus couldn't help but said, "My father would never agree to such a thing."

"It's okay, your dad is not home all the time! Besides, there's no point in being controlled all the time!"

Xiaoyu excitedly encouraged him, "Your bow and arrows are so accurate, how about I call you Hawkeye? When the time comes, I will rush forward to fight the bad guys, and you will support me from behind! One is far away and the other is close, we will be invincible!"

"This……"

After hearing Xiaoyu's words, a hint of excitement flashed in Atreus' eyes.

After all, he was only a teenager. Although he had the blood of a demigod, Atreus still had a boyish mentality. When he was in Northern Europe, Atreus had no contact with people of his age—even strangers. Because people who didn't know the spell couldn't pass through the barrier set up by his mother.

Under such circumstances, Atreus's personality and habits are completely different from those of normal peers. However, this difference is not due to Atreus' own personality, but because of the lack of life experience and childhood, which leaves no room for the boy's nature to display.

This can be seen from Atreus' current state - although he has been in the base universe for a while, Atreus still knows very little about the outside world. And his only friend is Xiaoyu.

Well, it’s mainly because Xiaoyu is very outgoing and can chat with anyone she meets for the first time as if she were an old friend she hasn’t seen for a long time.

"I, let me think about it... But compared to this, how are you going to make your spell?"

Atreus looked at Xiaoyu and asked, "I heard that the defense of Area 13 is very tight, even a mosquito can't easily get through. The talisman is kept there, how did you get it out?"

"Oh, there's nothing to worry about~"

After hearing what Atreus said, Xiaoyu smiled confidently: "I can break through the blockade of Area 13 even if I just walk up the stairs! Ha! Lady Xiaoyu is the strongest, even Area 13 can't stop me!!"

Ron also deeply agrees with Xiaoyu's confidence.

Similar animations for children are often not to be thought about too deeply, because if you think about it a little more deeply, the conclusion you draw is even more terrifying than the lightning that travels at 11% the speed of light mentioned earlier. It is not so great that Xiaoyu can easily take out all kinds of props from Area 13. After all, Xiaoyu herself is the reincarnation of a Saint Seiya and has been exposed to the history book of time. The really awesome one is Jackie Chan——

In the plot, Jackie Chan once needed to steal a talisman, which was locked by four infrared lasers. Once the talisman left the Aurora, an alarm would be sounded immediately.

How did Jackie Chan take the talisman away?

Jackie Chan squatted in front of the talisman, holding the talisman in one hand and the vase in the other. Then he instantly took out the talisman and put the vase on the table before the laser could react.

But I didn't think there was anything wrong when I saw it, but now that I think about it... Oh my god, it's faster than the speed of light!

Although Ron was following the Outer God path, and although the knowledge he had mastered and the real world he saw were a kind of spiritual pollution for ordinary people, for Ron, this was still too far-out.

Of course, we can't just brag about how powerful it is. If we really want to count, Jackie Chan Adventures is for children after all, and many details can't stand up to scrutiny. For example, Jackie Chan, who was naked and without amulets, even pushed the devil Ximu into hell...

As for the rest...

Don't ask, just ask the secret energy characteristics. If you ask again, it's the trash can universe, everything is possible.

In general, Xiaoyu has a special attack ability against talismans. As long as the target is a talisman, Xiaoyu can always get it in countless ways and by chance.

While Ron was still talking to Xiaoyu about what kind of superhero uniforms the next superhero team, the Dragon Team, should have, suddenly, a series of piercing noises came from outside the mental hospital. The roar of guns, the twisting of steel, and inhuman roars -

Just when a few people were still confused, suddenly - Boom! ! ! !
A small missile flew towards the mental hospital in an uncontrolled state with blazing tail flames.

Seeing this, Ron's eyes raised slightly, but just when Ron was about to take action, Armstrong had already leaped up, grasped the missile, and a fierce golden lightning flashed continuously. He absorbed all the energy ejected by the missile and turned around and swung it.

With a whoosh, the missile was thrown high into the sky and then exploded directly into a handful of blazing flames.

The crisis was resolved, but Ron did not stop. Instead, he sneered after hearing the noise of fighting moving away in another direction, then walked towards the iron gate of the mental hospital with a meat saw.

"What a guts! You want to run away after offending Master Luo?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ron flew away without further ado and chased in the direction of the voice.

Noticing this scene, looking at the confused Atreus, Xiaoyu, and the puzzled Armstrong, Ciri, as an old member of the team, was not too surprised. He just shrugged and said:

"Don't look at it, just go and do your own thing. Ron is narrow-minded, he will handle this kind of thing himself."

After hearing what Ciri said, Armstrong nodded thoughtfully, and then said with interest: "It seems that our captain is different from the traditional leader? At least, he is not a leader in the traditional sense?"

In response, Shiri just glanced at Armstrong.

Having traveled through many worlds, although Ciri's experience is not as deep as Geralt's, she is equally knowledgeable. Looking at Armstrong's expression, Ciri can more or less guess Armstrong's inner ambitions - a real man is born in heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time? !
But Ciri didn't care much. Because Ciri knew that what she could easily see, Ron probably knew it a long time ago. Since Ron didn't care, Ciri didn't bother to help correct anything, and just said:

"Just do your job well... but Ron was able to become the captain, so it's not just strength that counts."

Glancing at Armstrong, Ciri said nonchalantly: "Everyone here owes Ron some favors to some extent. Besides, this is our own choice."

"……I see."

Hearing this, Armstrong nodded thoughtfully.

"If that's the case, then it's no wonder... But it doesn't matter. My goal is to build a new America!"

Armstrong's eyes passed through the walls of the mental hospital and looked at the Senate and the White House from afar. A smile appeared on his face, and his neat white teeth made people shudder:

"This world may be much better than David's!"

While Armstrong was still thinking, on the other side, on the street.

Avoiding the fire coverage from the military, Banner barely controlled Hulk's body and ran back and forth in the streets of the city.

In fact, Bruce Banner was now extremely panicked. This panic did not come from the indiscriminate bombing of him by the outside military soldiers, but Banner could clearly feel that his consciousness was being torn apart. In fact, at this moment, his body had already been obviously out of control and was being seized by an incomprehensible and bizarre consciousness.

As an outstanding physicist, Banner's intelligence is unquestionable.

But all this changed after he accepted the commission from General Thaddeus E. Ross.

In order to welcome the new era, the US military wants to try to replicate the "super soldier serum" of World War II - in fact, similar experiments have never stopped, but they are not well known to outsiders.

When Banner participated in the "Army Biochemical Strength Enhancement Project", an experimental accident occurred that he himself could not understand. It was as if there was a consciousness that actively lured him to expose his body to dangerous gamma radiation. Since then, Banner has been able to clearly feel that a new personality has appeared in his body.

This personality will directly take over his body when he is hurt or has severe emotional fluctuations, allowing his strength and endurance to be enhanced beyond imagination. However, the transformation process will also hide Banner's consciousness deep in his mind, and his body will be completely controlled by this violent monster who calls himself "Hulk".

Such a powerful body being controlled by a violent monster is a disaster for anyone. Coupled with the military's desire for the super soldier program, it is not surprising that Banner began to be wanted.

As a scientist, Banner knew very well that precious materials like himself would not face the situation of "slice research" that often appeared in novels, because he was the only one in the military's decades-long super soldier program whose abilities had been significantly and even terribly improved.

The military will certainly protect such a precious individual like a treasure, holding it in their hands for fear of it dropping, and holding it in their mouths for fear of it melting.

But what can I say? It is better to be afraid of the worst. For the sake of profit, they can even poison their own citizens in public. Although this happened a long time ago, Banner knows very well that similar things have not disappeared, but have become more hidden.

In this situation, Banner did not have the confidence to bet that he would be treated well by the military if he just cooperated.

As it turned out, Banner was right. During his escape, he had clearly seen the human experiments related to himself recorded on the computer of the military base. Most of these human experiments were not fatal, but they were only for himself now. As a long-term partner of the military, Banner had enough reason to believe that when his value was squeezed out bit by bit, and when the military was able to mass-produce more reliable enhanced soldiers who obeyed his orders, he would be imprisoned in a secret base that never sees the light of day as a collection.

Maybe he wouldn't die, but he would definitely live a life worse than death! After escaping the military base, Banner ran in a random direction. Who knew that he would end up in the city.

Although he felt somewhat uneasy, Banner also fantasized for a moment that now that they were in the city, the military would at least restrain themselves, right?
But what about now?
Looking at the groups of armed helicopters behind him, as well as the National Guard and military special forces coming from all directions, Banner knew very well that the military would never give up so easily!

Thinking of this, Banner only felt that his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker. Perhaps it would not be long before he would completely turn into the Hulk. Only after he had completed his catharsis could he regain control of his body.

But at this moment, Banner vaguely saw a thin figure on the street.
