The rushing Flowing Water quickly washed away the fishy smell.

Skye was pleasantly surprised to find that the sticky sweat on her body was easily washed away, without the need for shower gel or other washing products.

Moreover, after rinsing off the sweat, she immediately smelled the fragrance that had been masked before—a light and lingering floral scent that didn't completely disappear even in the shower.

After checking herself several times, the girl confirmed that the scent was indeed coming from her own body. She suddenly felt incredibly ashamed, and her face turned completely red with embarrassment.

As a girl who struggled to rise from the bottom, Skye's life was built on her own efforts, and she never considered using her looks to please men.

Even after clarifying her relationship with Shazo, she still has her own career and her own strength, which can provide indispensable assistance to her boss and lover.

Skye is a truly independent woman who strongly resists the idea of using her beauty to please men.

So she bought and collected a lot of perfumes to enjoy, but never sprayed them on herself, making herself a giant perfume diffuser.

Today, she found herself actually becoming incense herself, and she felt incredibly embarrassed.

I can't see my boss.

Shazo also benefited from the bells rang out by Hulk.

So he abandoned his real killing move. As long as Hulk showed any signs of regaining consciousness, he would manipulate the Wood Golem to punch him, keeping him in a daze.

Having unleashed a full 40 punches at Hulk with all his might, Shazo obtained a wealth of data, which corresponded to the Way of Power in Heavenly Tribulation Shazo. He immediately felt that he had gained a tremendous amount of information.

At the same time, he also discovered that Hulk was beginning to adapt to the Wood Golem's attacks.

Despite receiving so many punches, Hulk not only remained unharmed, but his rate of regaining consciousness actually accelerated.

When the first punch landed, Hulk would be stunned for half a minute, but after only 2 seconds of the 41st punch, Hulk's eyes regained their luster.

Shazo knew that he could no longer extract any benefits from the Hulk today, and it was time to end the battle with a decisive move.

The Armed Wooden Golem raised its right fist, and after a moment of gathering strength, a thin layer of white mist enveloped its fist before it punched Hulk in front of him.

After the giant fist stopped, the white mist surrounding it enveloped Hulk, then transformed into a sharply defined Cosmic Cube, trapping Hulk inside.

[Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique]

The tree branches around Hulk and the soil beneath his feet instantly crumbled and disappeared, but he and his underwear remained completely unharmed.

No, it can't be considered completely intact. The frayed seams at the edge of the underwear have disappeared, and some tiny black dots have appeared on Hulk's green skin, with barely visible black substances emerging from them.

But those wounds, smaller than a pinhead, heal completely before they even cause any damage.

Dust Release, also known as Kekkei Tōta that supposedly disintegrates everything, could only inflict extremely minor injuries on Hulk, so minor that he couldn't even notice them himself.

Shazo's utter bewilderment upon witnessing this scene is easy to imagine.

In terms of destructive power, [Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique] is his strongest known skill, far stronger than [Nuclear Style: Sunspot].

Planting a giant mushroom can destroy the entire Manhattan, but it cannot completely eliminate the Titanium Alloy block at the blast point. However, Dust Release can make the block disappear without a trace.

But Shazo was still unwilling to give up. He manipulated the Wood Golem to raise its left fist, which produced a wisp of black smoke before smashing it into Hulk.

Black smoke formed a peanut-sized black bead on Hulk's chest, greedily devouring everything around it, even causing light to bend noticeably.

But when Hulk's body was drawn to it, it smashed the terrifying black bead, turning it back into a wisp of black smoke.

Now Shazo completely understood that the Hulk's mutation definitely contained some kind of magical law, far surpassing the laws represented by Dust Release and Dark Style.

Only in this way will the Ninjutsu he considers an absolute killing move be ineffective.

On the contrary, what seemed like an ordinary heavy punch landed squarely, and the impact of the punches was enough to make Hulk stagger and scream in agony.

A question popped into Shazo's mind: How do you fight an enemy whose skill level is higher than yours?

A great voice answered him, "You fight your way, I'll fight mine."

Guided by this statement, Shazo decided to abandon the use of brute force against the Hulk, this Beast.

Once he let go of his pointless obsession, his mind cleared, and he quickly figured out the key to defeating the Hulk.

If you don't consider how to kill the Hulk, then you don't need to consider how strong his defense is.

Since the Hulk has no ranged attack capabilities, Hulk immense power is meaningless as long as there is no direct or indirect contact between the two sides.

Earth's matter cannot trap the Hulk, but what can the Hulk do without access to matter?

Shazo understood all of this, and suddenly felt a sense of light in his heart.

As Hulk fully regained consciousness and roared as he leaped high into the air, Shazo smiled and extended his right hand, channeling powerful Electromagnetic Force into Hulk's body.

That was a magnetic force with the same properties as Earth's magnetism. Since like magnetic forces repel each other, Hulk's body was lifted into the Liao Kong by the magnetic force and could no longer fall down.

Hulk got anxious and started swinging his thick arms like he was paddling.

But while the frantic swinging could create gusts of wind, the reaction force could not propel his body forward.

It's worth noting that the enraged Hulk has now swelled to a height of 6 meters, and his weight has also increased to nearly 10 kilograms.

ton.

The Earth's magnetic field is extremely weak; it can't even lift a needle.

Shazo concentrated nearly half of his Electromagnetic Force to use the Earth's magnetic field to Hulk in the air.

If that immense Electromagnetic Force had a sufficiently strong support point, it could easily levitate a ship weighing tens of thousands of tons.

Such immense power could not possibly be moved by the wind generated by Hulk paddling with his arms.

At this moment, Hulk facing Shazo is like Wolverine standing in front of Magneto. Under the absolute attribute restraint, even with his immense strength, he has no way to exert it.

But Hulk is Hulk; his furious the Roar are deafening, and the gusts of wind he creates by waving his hands howl and rage.

"I forgot, air is also matter."

Shazo rotated his hands, just like when he created the vacuum Electromagnetic Rail before, using Electromagnetic Force to remove the air and turn the area around Hulk into a vacuum environment.

Without Liao Kong, the Roar sounds disappeared, the strong winds created by waving hands were gone, and the world became so quiet.

Hulk, trapped in a vacuum, looked pained; all the blood vessels in his body bulged as the air pressure dropped to 0.

Afterwards, dissolved air in the blood is released, leading to air clots.

This condition typically occurs when deep-sea divers surface, hence its specific medical name: Decompression Sickness.

This disease is an incurable and fatal acute illness for ordinary people.

The only treatment is to stay in the pressurized chamber for several hours to gradually adapt to the pressure changes.

But for Hulk, it was a small matter.

His powerful heartbeat forced a large number of air bubbles through the various embolism sites until the air bubbles circulated with the blood to the lungs and were expelled from the body through exchange.

As a monster with limitless energy, Hulk doesn't need to breathe; he maintains his body like a perpetual motion machine.

But the lack of air to breathe triggered an instinctive fear in Dr. Bruce Dr. Banner, which was then passed on to the bewildered Hulk.

Instinctive fear created a false premonition of death, and death terrified Hulk. For the first time, his inner fear surpassed his anger and began to dominate his thoughts.

When one is able to fight desperately, the fear of death can ignite the rage for survival; but when one is powerless to struggle, the fear of death will extinguish all rage.

Shazo smiled and tried the next step of the plan: taming the Hulk.

This is no joke.

Hulk's physical body is incredibly strong, practically invincible on Earth today, but Hulk mental state is very weak because he is less than five years old and has spent most of his time trapped in Bruce Banner's mental depths.

As a race inherently possessing intelligence, a human child raised by Beast will become Feral Child with a lifespan of only 30 years.

Hulk's situation is similar to that of Feral Child; he has no opportunity to receive an education, nor even to come into contact with other intelligent beings.

However, Hulk's soul is exceptionally strong, completely unaffected by the Genjutsu of the Naruto World, and the Yamanaka Clan's Secret Technique cannot penetrate his Mind Stone.

In fact, the Hulk is indestructible—unyielding, uncookable, uncrushable, unexplosive, and can withstand the roar of a copper pea; he is an invincible being.

Shazo clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "It seems the movie's portrayal of Thanos was quite inadequate."

"When the Purple Potato first met Hulk, it grasped Hulk's characteristics after only one round of fighting, and completely subdued Hulk in the second round of combat."

"That set of Military Combat Boxing is just a facade; the real attack will inevitably occur at the Mind Stone level."

"Either Thanos possessed extraordinary mental strength, which overwhelmed Hulk's soul and subjected him to inhuman torture within his inner world."

"Just like when Uchiha Itachi defeated Kakashi Hatake, he only glanced at him on the surface, but in reality, he stabbed him in the Genjutsu space for 72 hours. Although it was said to be 72 hours, every second felt like a day."

"Tsk tsk, I really don't know what Thanos did to Hulk in his Mind Stone to scare this little kid into having autism."

"Or perhaps Thanos's fist possesses a special power, capable of directly shaking the Mind Stone through physical attacks and shattering Hulk's will."

"It's a pity my strength is too poor; I can only slowly grind it out through physical means."

Shazo looked up at Hulk, who was struggling helplessly in the air, and casually threw out a series of ice spikes, which accurately hit Hulk's body.

The sharp points of the ice picks certainly couldn't pierce Hulk's skin, but after the ice picks Shattering, they sublimated rapidly in the vacuum, and the biting cold penetrated through his skin.

The feeling of being frozen was unpleasant; Hulk even experienced numbness in his body as a result.

After a row of ice spikes Shattering, a series of Inazuma followed, striking the Hulk with equal precision.

The electric current cannot damage Hulk's skin and muscles, but it can disrupt Hulk's nerve conduction, causing his limbs to tremble and temporarily lose control of his body.

Seeing Hulk's anger and silent roar in pain, Shazo didn't hesitate to repeat the ice and lightning attack again.

After subduing the Hulk, Shazo used attacks that were neither painful nor fast, no longer aiming to harm the Hulk, but rather to torment his mind.

Using Thanos's conquest of the Hulk as a reference, he tormented the Hulk in his own way, exhausting the Hulk's Spiritual Power and making it unable to control the growth of fear.

Shazo's goal was to take advantage of Hulk's young age and immature mind to completely tame him with pain and fear, planting the seeds of fear in his heart so that he would develop a fear of him.

Just like how people in tropical regions catch baby elephants and use ropes to restrain them, limiting their ability to move.

Even when the baby elephant grows into a full-grown elephant and has the strength to tear ropes at will, it will still be restricted in its freedom by the thin ropes.

It's because elephants develop a strong impression of ropes from a young age that they habitually believe they can't break free and therefore don't try.

Shazo was certainly not afraid of the Hulk, after all, he could control the Hulk right now.

Moreover, he is confident that he will become stronger in the future and will be able to defeat Hulk with his strength in the near future.

However, Hulk's Yamato and irrationality are inherently problematic; his condition is somewhat like that of a seven- or eight-year-old boy.

Why are boys of this age so disliked by everyone?

Because they are growing up, they possess considerable strength, boundless energy, and endless curiosity, but lack a proper understanding of the world.

Even if they have no malicious intent, their recklessness and curiosity can easily cause chaos and even lead them to take risks that endanger themselves.

At this point, the family needs an elder with sufficient authority to restrain the boy's adventurous behavior and guide him to understand the laws of the world.

Only under the protection and guidance of elders can boys safely navigate this dangerous period.

Then comes the even more annoying rebellious phase.

Shazo thought Bruce Dr. Banner was incredibly Bad Luck, but Hulk himself was the most innocent and pitiful one.

Therefore, he wanted to take on the responsibility of guiding Hulk's growth, so that his soul would be strong enough to match the power of his body, and that he would no longer be the monster that everyone feared and avoided.

Only if Hulk himself grows up can the fate of Banner and Hulk merging into one be avoided.

Shazo hated this result.

Perhaps the appearance of Hulk Doctor is an acceptable outcome for Bruce Banner, but for Hulk, an independent soul, what difference is there between such complete disappearance and death?

Along with Hulk, the Super Hulk, with limitless potential, capable of grabbing and slamming Gods and battling Emperor of the Universe, also disappeared.

This is absolutely a major loss to Earth's power, no less than the departure of the Ancient One.

The appearance of Saint Seiya Shazo and Saiyan Shazo gave Shazo unprecedented power, making him a tall man on Earth.

In other words, now that the sky has fallen on Earth, he's the one who has to hold it up.

But Shazo knew perfectly well that the sky over Earth was about to collapse, and that it would collapse again and again.

As a tall man, he must find ways to increase Earth's combat power, especially its high-end super combat power.

Hulk is the most worthwhile investment and the most likely candidate to shoulder the responsibility of mending the sky.
