Chapter 193: Banner's Decision

OAA, the Supreme God of the Marvel Multiverse, is equivalent to the God of the DC Universe. In contrast, OBA is below all things, representing the real hell, the origin and end of all negative consciousness, evil, and hatred.

In contrast to OAA, OBA was extremely high-profile when it first appeared. However, as the plot progressed, people discovered that OBA was not an independent entity, but the other side of OAA.

Simply put, there are 'good' editors who are keen on happy family endings and 'bad' editors who are keen on fate making superheroes separated from their wives and children and trying their best to save the world but in the end getting nothing.

Well, the good and bad here are not used to describe the works. In fact, there are quite a few so-called 'bad' endings that make people feel meaningful and memorable.

but no matter……

"Given our ability, it is nothing but a pipe dream to compete with the OBA at this point in time."

Shaking his head, Gu Yi said: "This matter is beyond our control... Just report it directly and let the OAA handle it personally."

As the two sides of the OAA, the OBA is certainly powerful and can easily change the framework of the world. But as the two sides of the OAA, for now, the OAA still holds the initiative.

The base universe where Ron and others are located has a special status. Although it is a branch of the Marvel multiverse, it has become completely independent the moment it became the base universe.

"That's probably what the OBA is looking for as well."

Realizing this, Ron also said: "On the other hand, OBA is almost completely suppressed by OAA. But through a completely independent base universe, OBA may be able to get the freedom he desires?"

"……possible."

Hearing this, Gu Yi also nodded.

Ordinary people may not be able to understand the dispute between OAA and OBA, but as the head of the internal affairs department, Gu Yi knows something about it more or less.

To put it in an analogy, OAA and OBA are like a family that has been fighting for property. However, in this process, the legitimate OAA has always had the upper hand, while the illegitimate OBA dares not speak out.

Now, OBA, which has been unable to find a chance to break the deadlock, has decided to turn the table over and try an unconventional approach - splitting up.

"Perhaps the OBA can only get a small part in this process, but compared to confronting the OAA head-on, the OBA's control over this small part is at least absolute. It's not like before, when it was suppressed by the OAA from beginning to end."

Hearing this, Ancient One stroke his chin and said, "Well, even if OBA only got a part of the OAA God, it is still far beyond our reach. Just like the Hulks in other worlds, any Hulk that has a connection with OBA, unless they themselves can...wait, themselves?"

Having said this, Gu Yi narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Ron beside him. After feeling the similar gaze in Ron's eyes, Gu Yi nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's right…"

Thinking about this, Ancient One said thoughtfully: "The power under all things cannot be destroyed. Although the base universe is independent, from the moment it is connected to all things, it has become an inseparable part. In this case, the role that all seals can play is only to delay the arrival of destruction..."

"No, then why did that thing called Under Everything target me?" Bruce Banner felt puzzled and innocent:
"I'm just a physicist. What's there for that monster to care about? If it doesn't work... If it doesn't work, tell him that I'm willing to give him my body as long as he can..."

"No! Banner! Hulk, don't let me!!"

Before Banner could finish, Hulk gritted his teeth and interrupted him. His burly body struggled to hold the door behind him. Facing Banner's confused and fearful gaze, Hulk seemed particularly clumsy. He opened his mouth but could only say with difficulty:
"Hulk, don't let...Banner...die!"

"Banner, be obedient! Hulk, protect!"

As he spoke, perhaps because he was distracted, Hulk's foot slipped, and the door behind him pushed slightly, and a strong hatred and undisguised malice came from the gap.

Just the feeling made Banner shiver involuntarily.

"What is going on here? Can you explain it to me clearly? Just a little bit, at least something I can understand!"

Hearing Banner's words, which even sounded self-deprecating, Hulk, who was hiding aside and leaning against the door, showed a hint of panic, then lowered his head and continued to block the door, not daring to speak.

After thinking about it, he realized the difference between the Hulk in his world and the Hulk in other worlds. He compared the many origin stories of the Hulk in his memory and recalled the memory images of Banner in the base universe. After connecting the clues, Ron's eyes became clear and he said, "Let me tell you."

"Ok?"

Banner gave him a puzzled look.

Ron looked at Hulk and said, "You can understand that there is a gamma field outside our original universe. This field is the real hell, and the master of this hell is the devil named OBA." "Before you were born, this devil had already set his sights on you. In order to protect yourself, you separated the Hulk in front of you from your consciousness. Hulk and you are one, you can even regard it as your twin brother."

"He is... my brother?" Banner expressed his incomprehension.

Ron continued, "Yes, twin brother. The reason he is here is to block the door in your spiritual realm so that the demon king on the other side of the door cannot hurt you."

Hearing this, Banner's eyes showed a hint of disbelief, and then he looked at Hulk, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Then...why do I turn into that kind of monster every time he appears?"

"I told you, he's protecting you."

Ron sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your spirit has long been threatened by the OBA, so the Hulk has been staying in your spiritual realm to protect you. And when the outside world is threatened, the Hulk will go to the real world to protect you. That is, he becomes the so-called Hulk."

As he spoke, Ron shook his head with some emotion.

"When I first met you, I wondered why Hulk's anger in battle was mixed with a lingering fear and panic. Now it seems that it is not because he is afraid of fighting, but because his anger and fear coexist. He just wants to end the battle as soon as possible and leave the battlefield. Because the longer he comes to the outside world, the more likely it is that the door to the spiritual realm will be opened by the devil OBA."

"Hulk is...protecting me?"

After hearing Ron's words, Banner was stunned, but looking at Hulk, after hesitating for a long time, Banner just shook his head instinctively.

"Impossible...Absolutely impossible! Hulk only had genetic mutations and schizophrenia due to the gamma radiation I was exposed to. How could he be trying to protect me?"

Looking at Ron, Banner said with a forced smile: "Besides, I was only exposed to gamma radiation this month, and Hulk also appeared this month. How could he protect me? It's good enough that he doesn't try to occupy my body..."

After hearing what Banner said, Ron didn't say anything, but just stood there with a calm expression. On the contrary, behind Banner, after hearing what Banner said, Hulk lowered his head a little sadly. But he didn't say much, just took a deep breath and blocked the door behind him without saying a word.

Ron was speechless about this.

Although Hulk looks extremely angry, there are many variants in Marvel's works, such as War Hulk, Savage Hulk, Green Hulk, Captain Hulk, and K-Hulk. And these variants are all known for their strong physical strength and violent fighting posture. But in fact, apart from the factor of "anger", more often than not, Hulk feels more like a bullied wife when facing Bruce Banna.

Wrongful and pitiful.

After watching Ron for a while, Banner, who was holding on, couldn't help but pursed his lips after a moment of silence, and then looked behind him at Hulk who was silently holding the door without saying a word. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Can I really trust you..."

Although Banner kept denying it, in fact, Banner could clearly feel that Hulk behind him was sad because of his denial.

This feeling is very subtle, because in the past, Banner could only feel the violent anger of Hulk. But now, Hulk's angry self is outside incarnated as the Hulk to protect himself. And the truest self is staying in the spiritual realm to resist the attack from the demon king called 'OBA' on the other side of the gate...

A guy who is full of fear and disgust is actually protecting himself.

It can even be said that not only now, but before he was hit by the gamma radiation, he had been quietly protecting himself... The huge contrast between the past and the present made Banner's current mood seem a little indescribable.

Most importantly, he didn't know how to face Hulk...

"You don't need to express it, because you are one. It's just that you have never been aware of him before."

Ancient One's calm voice came from the side.

"But now that you know all this, it's time to make a choice."

"what should I do?"

"What do you want to do?" Ancient One asked.

Banner knew what the Ancient One had been asking himself repeatedly - what should be done and what one wanted to do sounded the same, but in reality, there was a huge difference. One was the solution that the Ancient One had thought of, and the other was the solution that Banner had hoped for.

After a brief moment, Banner pursed his lips and said, "At least, Hulk is no longer the only one protecting me."

"That's enough." A smile appeared on Gu Yi's face, and then his palms kept sliding in the air, leaving a series of condensed spells in the air along with the trajectory of the secret energy.
