No Hulk, Only Banner

On the yacht, a group of people stood silently around a small fish that weighed less than a pound.

"Tony, are you sure there's no other food on the yacht?"

"To test our team's coordination, I didn't even bring a cook. There are some vegetables, bread, and cheese in the Fridge though..." Tony poked the dead fish with the toothpick he had used to poke Banner, speaking with self-righteousness.

Upon hearing that he was going to eat vegetarian food, Captain America couldn't sit still. He got up, took off his coat, and went to the bow of the ship.

"Steve, what are you doing?"

"I want to eat meat!!"

With that, he jumped into the sea with a splash.

"Ha, no splash, I give him a 10/10." Tony started his usual banter again. "I knew it, it's a shame he's not in the sports world with those muscles!"

"And you, are you into stand-up comedy?"

A portal opened behind Natasha, and Lin Xu's voice arrived before he did.

Although it wasn't the first time everyone had seen this ring of fire, they were still incredibly amazed. This thing was so convenient for commuting!

"Shit, how come you appear and disappear like that?"

Tony frowned at Lin Xu: "Did you cast some kind of spell on me? Or are you monitoring my every move? How come you can find me wherever I go?"

"Don't be so narcissistic. I found a hair on the sofa, and following... the DNA, it looks like the hair belongs to Natasha."

Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, the group instinctively reached up to touch their heads.

Tony was amused by everyone's expressions. "Ha, you never contact me when you have nothing to do. Okay, tell me."

Lin Xu tossed Carrie's bones onto the table. "I've come to borrow someone, and while I'm at it, I need to use these bones to make a set of armor."

Everyone present was worldly-wise and could tell at a glance that this was not a prop, but a real human bone!

Then dozens of eyes stared at him.

"Are you sure you're a legitimate mage, and not some kind of necromancer?" Tony stared at the skeleton for a long time before finally asking the question that no one dared to ask.

"Slander! I'll sue you for slander! I'm a legitimate White Magic!"

"Then tell me, what was the name of that magic spell you used to find people with your hair?"

"Blood Pact Secret Technique..." Something seems off.

Ha! Listen to that for yourself!

Lin, exasperated, slapped Tony's finger away. "Just tell me if it's possible or not!"

"Sure, of course! Who's it for?"

"He!"

Following Lin Xu's finger, everyone looked at the somewhat reserved Banner.

"Huh? Me? I'm... an office worker..."

"What do I need you for? To research biological genetic magic? I need Hulk."

When Hulk was mentioned, everyone's expressions became serious.

Tony looked at Lin Xu: "The enemy is very strong?"

"He's incredibly powerful, capable of destroying the universe. I'm probably no match for him now. To defeat him, we need to find a power that can counter him. The only ones I can think of are Hulk and Steve..."

Upon hearing this, Tony automatically eliminated Captain America from his options. If he couldn't even beat Thor's uncle, was Steve going to be sent to his death?

"NO Hulk, Only Banner..."

No one expected Banner to suddenly blurt out such a thing; it's truly a reversal of the natural order!!

"Ahem, what I mean is, Hulk doesn't want to come out right now; he's really resisting Earth..."

Hearing this, everyone seemed to be deep in thought, and Wanda buried her head in her chest, after all, Hulk's current state was directly related to her.

Lin Xu frowned as he stared at Banner; he did have a way to get the Hulk out.

But as Banner said, the current Hulk hates Earth; he refuses to fight for Earth and even refuses to help Banner.

Even if you manage to bring Hulk out, what if he doesn't move at all? There's not much you can do about it...

How about... we find a Hulk to come over before we go to Avengers: Age of Ultron?

After thinking it over, Lin Xu ruled out this method. If the Hulk he brought died here, the other universe would definitely be in chaos.

Slowly, he shifted his gaze to Wanda, and in just a moment, he dismissed the idea.

The future Wanda is indeed very powerful; after mastering the Darkhold, she was able to imprison Chthon by defying the heavens. However, for now, even Thanos's ship-mounted cannons can penetrate her defenses...

Are we really going to have to rely on Steve...? Wait, where's Steve?

Lin Xu scanned the room but didn't see Captain America. Tsk tsk, could it be that Tony took Winter Soldier fishing with him, isolating Steve?

With a mental scan, he quickly spotted Comrade Shi Aimin, who was cosplaying as Aquaman, underwater about ten meters away from the yacht. At that moment, Shi Aimin was holding a turbot in one hand and an unfamiliar bighead carp in the other.

The familiar feeling caught his eye.

Captain America not be up to par, but with Mjolnir's hammer in hand, he shouldn't just be cannon fodder again...

Before he could swim over, Lin Xu reached out and grabbed Steve, who flew out of the water and into Lin Xu's hand.

"Law... cough cough! What's going on!"

"Steve Rogers."

"Ah?"

Congratulations, you've been chosen!

Lin Xu placed Steve on the deck, then turned to Tony: "Just make it according to his size. I'll go get him a suitable weapon."

"Etc..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him, he won't die."

"No... I meant, could you use that trick you just used to help us catch two more fish?"

"... roll!"

The Dark Strange Main Universe Timeline (Lin Xu on the Branch)

In a sealed dimensional space, the Eye Demon was idly playing with its fingers.

"Damn it, Ancient One, don't let me escape! You shameless old hag, you've been hiding your true strength all this time!"

That's right, he's the Eye Demon Shuma-Gorath, who was sealed away by the Ancient One at the cost of his life before he could even say a few words.

Come to think of it, he had fought the Ancient One before, but he had never felt so frustrated as this time. Not only was he silenced, but he was also tricked into faking his death.

"Hmph, the seal can't last forever. It will break one day," he vowed, swearing that he would then slaughter the entire Kamar-Taj.

Suddenly, a faint spatial fluctuation came from outside the seal.

"Someone is calling me!"

"The aura of the Darkhold... is it Chthon?"

Shuma hesitated for a moment. If it were someone else who had summoned him, he would have gone out anyway.

But since Chthon is also a demon god, if he were to go out like this, he would definitely be ridiculed, and it might even spread throughout the demon god community.

He values face more than freedom!

Perhaps seeing that he did not react, the spatial fluctuations became even stronger, and an even more chaotic aura surged into it.

"No, there's also the aura of White Magic and time magic!"

Shuma's eyes lit up.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would be summoned by a disciple so soon after Ancient One faked her death, hahaha."

"Let me see which little cutie it is?"
