Banner on the Brink of Death

"Roar—"

The bird-like demon let out a pained cry and ferociously turned its head, wanting to see which blind fool dared to make a move in front of Your Majesty.

However, upon seeing Hulk, its furious eyes instantly cleared. It silently turned back. Too strong, it couldn't win.

"Hulk, gift."

Hulk grinned and handed over a handful of feathers.

"...Thank you, Uncle Hulk."

Damian silently took them, clutching the feathers tightly in his small hands, his expression complex.

Kino also found it hard to laugh or cry.

"He's not an uncle. Hulk is about your age, you should call him brother."

Blonsky nodded in agreement.

"Hulk... brother?"

Damian's mouth fell open. He looked at Hulk's massive body in disbelief, wondering inwardly: What must he eat to grow so big?

Hulk, hearing Damian's address, happily patted his chest, making a "bang bang" sound.

Just then, Yū also walked over, holding a fist-sized gem in her hands.

"This is Auntie Yū's gift."

Yū said with a smile, handing the gem to Damian.

Damian looked at the aunt who was only a hand taller than him?

"Thank you, Auntie Yū."

Damian said sweetly, taking the gem with both hands and holding it carefully in his palm.

Yū nodded in satisfaction and gently patted Damian's head.

After giving Yū and the others some important instructions, Kino flashed and returned to the Marvel world.

Kino appeared in a manor. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was met with a dense green.

The walls were covered with vines of all shapes and sizes, colorful plants and delicate, vibrant flowers intertwined. Kino could even see a fruit-laden tree growing from the ceiling.

If he hadn't seen the familiar dining table from before, he would have thought he had come to the wrong place.

"Godfather, are we going to live in a forest from now on?" Damian asked curiously, hugging a pile of gifts.

His small body was so obscured by the gifts that only his eyes were visible, and his voice came muffled from behind them.

"No."

"Pamela, I'm back."

Kino called out. This was clearly Pamela's doing.

As if hearing Kino's words, the surrounding plants seemed to sense something and began to slowly disappear.

The vines receded like a tide, the flowers withered and fell instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the scene that had resembled a forest gradually returned the manor to its original appearance.

Damian poked his head out from the pile of gifts, looking at the magical transformation in surprise, his small face full of disbelief.

Pamela appeared at the doorway wearing a green dress, like a spring sprite. Her face was radiant with joy and excitement, and she rushed over.

"My dear, I missed you so much."

Pamela hugged Kino tightly, as if trying to merge herself into his body.

"Me too, Pamela. Speaking of which, how did you turn the manor into that?"

"The plants told me danger was approaching, so I summoned some plants to protect the manor."

"Danger? I was negligent this time. I'm sorry."

A cold glint flashed in Kino's eyes. He had already shown his strength, yet some people were still restless.

"It's okay, my dear. This little one."

Pamela noticed the small figure beside them, her eyes lit up. She pushed Kino aside and eagerly leaned towards Damian.

"Is this the child Sister Venom promised me? You gave birth so quickly. His eyes are like mine, and his hair is like my dear's..."

Pamela said excitedly, her face blooming with a smile as bright as flowers.

Damian was held by Pamela, feeling the warmth in her embrace and looking at the undisguised affection in her eyes, he didn't push her away.

If Auntie Venom looked at her like she was a toy, the aunt in front of him was filled with doting affection, as if he were the most precious treasure in the world.

Kino looked at Pamela's reaction and felt a pang of sympathy. He hadn't realized Pamela's longing for a child was so strong.

Venom ran out directly and said, "Pamela, this is Batman's child. We haven't even started making our child yet."

Pamela looked at Kino with confusion in her eyes. "My dear, why did you bring Batman's child here?"

"That world of Batman's is not safe. He was entrusted to me. I am his Godfather now," Kino quickly explained.

Pamela's eyes dimmed slightly, the momentary disappointment clearly visible, but she continued to look at Damian gently.

"Child, what is your name?" Pamela's voice was filled with endless kindness.

"Damian Wayne," Damian replied obediently, infected by Pamela's gentleness. Her expression also relaxed considerably.

Pamela said, "My name is Pamela, you can call me Mom Pamela too." Her voice was as soft as the wind, her eyes full of anticipation, a gaze that seemed capable of melting all ice.

Damian looked at the anticipation in Pamela's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Mom Pamela."

"Such a good child." Pamela's face bloomed with a smile as radiant as spring flowers. She leaned down and pressed her red lips onto Damian's cheek, leaving a light kiss.

Venom also came over at this moment, eagerly saying, "Damian, call me Mom Venom."

"Mom Venom," Damian called obediently.

Kino watched their warm and harmonious interaction and couldn't help but smile knowingly before walking out of the room.

Just then, Frank and Banner also slowly appeared.

Frank strode with steady, powerful steps, his face still wearing that serious, stern expression, but a hint of imperceptible softness flashed in his eyes.

"Welcome back, Young Master."

"Young Master, you're finally back. I'm exhausted. This guy Frank is inhuman. He only sleeps three hours a day and drags me along."

Banner wore a pained expression, with visible dark circles under his eyes. Ever since Frank dragged him away, he'd been handling all sorts of matters, not even having enough time to sleep.

He wanted to ask Frank for a break, but seeing how even more driven he was, he couldn't bring himself to.

He was constantly testing the limits on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion. Without the Hulk, he was just a normal person, not a super-soldier like Frank who could go five days and five nights without sleep. (Comic book setting)

Kino looked at Banner's state and couldn't help but laugh, "Banner, you've worked hard. Get some good rest first. I've found a helper this time."

Banner and Frank both breathed a sigh of relief.

One was Banner, whose energy was that of a normal person without the Hulk.

The other was capable of murder, arson, and training soldiers without issue, but handling a company, interviews, and complex data reports was truly difficult for him, which was why he had forced Dr. Banner to come along.

"Young Master, who is it?"

Banner was already eager to see the person.

Kino raised his hand and waved it gently in the air. A portal instantly appeared before their eyes.

"Ra's al Ghul, come out."

Light flickered within the portal, and a figure gradually became clear.

Ra's al Ghul strode out with steady steps from the dazzling light. His expression was serious and respectful, his gaze fixed firmly on Kino.

"Young Master."
