American comics: Starting from the Dimensional Demon
#108 - Dance of the Century
“Heh heh~ Hulk, don't be nervous. As the saying goes, money is a man's courage.
Come, put this on~”
Dragonfly Captain Loki smiled and took out a palette, dipped his brush, and quickly swiped it across Hulk's waist.
Instantly, a golden... dog head belt appeared on his waist.
“Wow, it's so dazzling!”
“F*ck, it's too bright, too bright!”
“Sh*t, what is that thing?!”
“......”
The crowd below leaned back, raising their hands to shield their eyes, but the golden dog head belt was simply too dazzling, like a super-watt light bulb, almost blinding.
Seeing the "enthusiasm" of the audience, Dragonfly Captain Loki nodded in satisfaction and patted Hulk's arm.
“See? Tonight, you will definitely be the most dazzling guy in the entire venue!”
He pointed to Miss Betty Ross's direction and smiled.
“Look, Miss Ross is so moved that she's shedding tears~”
Below the stage, Betty stiffened, rubbed her reddened eyes, and glared at him angrily.
Were those tears of emotion?
Those were clearly tears caused by the intense light making her unable to open her eyes, photophobia.
“Oh, right, this is the prize for this boxing tournament, the 'Desire Magic Pot.' I'll hang it up for you.”
Slapping his forehead, Dragonfly Captain Loki seemed to remember something and hung a bronze-colored pot on his golden belt.
Hmm... it had a bit of a fisherman vibe.
That is......
On the scene, some attentive people fixed their gaze on the bronze-colored pot. It seemed to possess some kind of magic, constantly attracting everyone's attention, but this gaze lasted less than 2 seconds before immediately retreating.
“Oh, No, damn it, can you turn off the light bulb on your belt?!!!”
“Does anyone have sunglasses? Someone lend me a pair.”
“It's too bright, I can't see with my eyes!”
“Sh*t......”
There was no way around it. The golden dog head belt on Hulk's waist was too bright, illuminating the entire venue with a dazzling 360-degree radiance.
[Emotional value from Hulk + 1063]
“......”
Scratching his head, Hulk seemed a little embarrassed.
He had always lived in seclusion, knowing that many people were afraid of him, feared him. He wanted to take off the glowing dog head belt around his waist, but after pulling it several times, he couldn't remove it. It was tied very tightly.
Stopping his movements, Dragonfly Captain Loki gently pressed the side of his golden belt. There was a hidden button there, not very obvious. With a press, the golden light gradually weakened.
Only when it returned to the brightness of a normal light bulb did everyone lower their arms and look again.
“Hoo......”
Hulk breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes burning as if to melt people, and softly called out to Betty below.
“Betty.”
Looking at him, Betty took a step forward with tenderness on her face: “Banner.”
“Betty.”
“Banner.”
“Betty, I......”
“Banner, I also......”
The scene was quite quiet, even a little romantic.
Everyone instinctively held their breath, watching this incredible scene, only our father-in-law, General Ross, seemed to have a terrible expression.
[Emotional value from General Ross + 999]
Tap tap tap......
A team composed of police, soldiers, and agents suddenly surrounded them from all directions.
Shua shua shua, they held firearms, all aiming at Hulk.
“......”
Pursing his lips, Hulk tentatively took a small step forward.
Hua la——
The crowd quickly retreated, highlighting Betty. She stood still, looking up and meeting Hulk's eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
The two stared at each other silently, as if communicating with words.
Hulk looked at her, then swept his gaze across the faces of everyone present, where there was fear, rejection, disgust, hatred......
Bang.
Perhaps because of excitement, or perhaps because of some conspiracy, in short, a cold shot from nowhere hit Hulk.
General Ross's expression changed drastically. Before he could stop it, a barrage of bullets exploded like a rain curtain.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang......
“Heh heh......”
Smiling dismissively, Dragonfly Captain Loki spun his mechanical staff in his hand and then gently tapped it on the ground.
Silent ripples swept in all directions, and the laws of reality were rewritten in an instant!
Those flying bullets pierced the air, leaving white streaks, but at the moment the ripples swept over them, they turned into bright red roses in the air. As the roses bloomed in the air, petals fell one by one, scattering across the scene.
Hua la——
Clearly gunshots, the bullets fired turned into rose petals. Clearly, the torrent of bullets should have brought blood and death, but in the next moment, it was reversed into an ocean of flowers.
This scene was too romantic, too dreamlike, like a fairy tale!

[......]
“Haha, I said something was missing, it turned out to be the atmosphere group~”
Dragonfly Captain Loki removed the mask from his face, revealing a familiar face.
“Loki?!!!!” xN
A burst of exclamations erupted on the scene. Loki's name was like thunder in New York. From 1-year-old babies to 120-year-old seniors with canes, everyone knew him.
Even General Ross, who had guessed it early on, felt a twitch in his heart, and his face became ugly.
He really had no way to deal with this kind of character who seemed to have jumped out of a funny comic.
“Oh ho? It seems everyone recognizes me~”
Loki chuckled, spun around, and changed back into his familiar red suit.
He lightly tapped his feet and turned into a whirlwind, passing through the crowd at the scene. No matter what their identities, those holding guns suddenly felt a lightness and then a heaviness in their hands. When they reacted, they all looked at the musical instruments in their hands with ugly expressions.
Violin, erhu, flute, guitar, bass......
Even General Ross was holding a golden trumpet, wanting to throw it away, but like a leech, he couldn't throw it away no matter what.
Rumble!
A staircase covered with a red carpet rose from the ground, connecting to the top of the arena on one side and spreading out in front of Betty on the other.
“Miss Betty, what are you still hesitating about? Please~”
Loki had quietly come to Betty's side and bowed slightly to guide her.
Flowers scattered all over the sky, like dense butterflies surrounding her. When they dispersed, a luxurious and gorgeous white princess dress was put on her.
She was radiant and beautiful like a princess, wearing a crystal-colored headpiece on her head and a pair of sparkling amethyst earrings on her ears.
Hua la la——
Those petals seemed to possess spirituality, gently pushing her body like small hands, leading her up the stairs.
Tap.
Crystal-colored high heels stepped on the red carpet.
“Betty!”
General Ross shouted from below. He hoped she wouldn't take that step, but his daughter Betty only looked back at him and then gently shook her head, stepping up without hesitation.
At this moment, Hulk was standing above, wearing a black tuxedo. His eyes were only for Betty, and nothing else.
He loved her, truly loved her, but precisely because he loved her, he had to go incognito and choose a place far away from her to avoid hurting her.
The scene before him was filled with a dreamlike sense of unreality, causing his heart to beat more intensely than ever before. He hadn't transformed back into Bruce Banner, or rather, he was both Banner and Hulk at the same time, the two perfectly merged and indistinguishable.
He saw Betty wearing a beautiful princess gown and crystal shoes, approaching him step by step. Finally, he reached out and grasped her small hand with his large, green hand.
He didn't want to let go again, nor did he want to leave her again, even if it was just a dream for one night, he wanted to continue this beautiful dream.
"Mr. Hulk, as tonight's champion, how can you not dance a victory dance with Miss Ross?"
Standing before the crowd below, Loki held a scepter and raised both hands upwards.
Those who were already holding various musical instruments, whether willing or not, were guided by an inexplicable mental force to form a magnificent piece of music.
This music was grand and powerful, filled with strength. It resounded through the sky, dispersing the clouds and illuminating the dim night sky.
On the plane, the dedicated reporters perfectly captured this scene, sending the live footage to every viewer in front of their television screens. They shouted excitedly, camera shutters flashed continuously, and explosive news headlines quickly flashed through their minds.
"Banner..."
Looking at the Hulk, a glint of tears flashed in Betty's eyes, and thousands of words turned into a simple 'Banner'.
"Betty..."
Reaching out his hand and wiping away her tears with his large fingers, Hulk's (Banner's) gaze was full of tenderness.
If this is a dream, please don't let him wake up!
On this arena surrounded by a sea of flowers, a green beast in a black tuxedo and a beautiful girl in a white princess dress.
Hand in hand, with only each other in their eyes, they began to dance gracefully in the grand music.
[Emotional value from General Ross +1199]
......
"Beauty and the Beast in Real Life!"
"Last night, in Harlem, New York City, two super heavyweight boxers engaged in a peak showdown!!"
"Loki reappears in New York City, still shocking!"
"In light of last night's madness, an American senator proposed adding another gender category to distinguish between humans and beasts, which was ridiculed by the vast number of netizens!"
"The Dance of the Century!"
"......"
Eye-catching, attention-grabbing, with super-strong dissemination and topicality...
After fermenting for a night, it unsurprisingly exploded the next day. Norman Osborn's news lost its heat without even struggling, replaced by the Hulk and Loki's headlines.
One held a unique boxing match and danced with a beautiful girl under the moonlight, making people jealous.
The other not only held a boxing match that brought a visual and auditory feast, but also arranged the scene into a dreamlike ocean. His ability to change the world with a wave of his hand was truly imaginative.
And our General Ross, for some reason, also made the news. His appearance of "excitedly blushing" while playing the trumpet made some government officials cast surprised glances.
General Ross: "......F*ck!"
[Emotional value from General Ross +1233]
......
S.H.I.E.L.D., Director Fury's office.
"Director Fury, Hulk has temporarily left New York. Our people used some means to retrieve this from his hiding place."
Natasha handed a photo to Fury and continued.
"This is the prize Hulk won last night..."
While listening to Natasha's words, Nick Fury examined the contents of the photo. It was a brass-colored pot, which looked like an old object.
"As a prize for the competition, he couldn't possibly give out a worthless thing. Our people are urgently verifying it, and I believe there will be some gains soon."
Considering Loki's power, Natasha reasonably deduced the "extraordinary" nature of this pot, most likely a magical item.
Nick Fury agreed with her judgment, put down the photo, and ordered Natasha.
"I will have the S.H.I.E.L.D. research team speed up the research. Natasha, you need to go to Chinatown to investigate a person..."
"Who?"
"A man who opened a martial arts gym named Ah Xing."
"Yes." Turning around, Natasha was about to leave to receive her order.
"By the way..."
Seeming to remember something, Nick Fury suddenly stopped her and smiled.
"Coulson has been sent to Antarctica by me. I believe you will see a familiar old friend return soon."
Old friend?
Raising an eyebrow, Natasha saw Nick Fury shut his mouth and play mysterious, nodded, and walked straight out.
Behind her, Nick Fury turned to look out the window. The weather today was a sunny day, and he hoped that Coulson's actions could go smoothly.
......
"Achoo~ Very smooth!"
In a distant dimensional space, Li Chao sneezed and temporarily retracted his gaze towards Earth.
Just now, his system finally sounded a long-lost prompt.
[Ding, emotional value has exceeded 10,000,000 points, the system is starting to upgrade.
This upgrade will take a month. After the upgrade is complete, the Starlight Treasure Chest will be unlocked.]
"As expected!"
Excitedly waving his hand, Li Chao spun around in his computer chair.
The 10,000,000-point Starlight Treasure Chest guarantees an S-level card with every draw.
From the time he awakened the system to now, he hasn't even spent a few months, but the cards he has drawn have become stronger and stronger, and his emotional value has exceeded 10 million points.
"However... a month is still a bit too long."
In fact, as a dimensional demon god, his lifespan is infinite, and a month is not long, but his main place of business is still on Earth, so doing nothing during this period and waiting for a month is indeed a bit inefficient.
Moreover, the condition for upgrading the system is that the emotional value reaches 10,000,000 points, not consuming 10,000,000 points to upgrade, so it's better to draw two gold treasure chests first to do something and earn some emotional value. Anyway, he will definitely be able to draw the Starlight Treasure Chest after 30 days.
Thinking of this, Li Chao no longer hesitated and immediately said: "System, draw two gold treasure chests."
------Digression------
Thanks to l Stealing Half a Day of Leisure l for the 100 coin reward! Thanks to the Single-Eyed Cremation Soldier for the 200 coin reward!
[When I first saw the last part where Hulk and Betty called each other's names, I suddenly remembered the Disney animation "Beauty and the Beast" that I watched when I was a kid. I don't know if everyone has seen it.
A very classic animation. Writing this plot is also a tribute to my childhood. I hope everyone can like it.
After all, to be honest, Hulk is really miserable in the movies!]
