The Dual-Unity Kamen Rider
After speaking, Wei Xiuming opened his briefcase and took out two smaller boxes, placing them in front of Bruce Banner.
"I'm giving you a choice, Dr. Banner."
"The blue box contains a timed injection armband for Bohemian Potion. It contains a high concentration of Bohemian Potion, and when worn, it automatically detects when the concentration of the drug in the blood drops to a certain level and then injects it, thus achieving a long-term effect of suppressing emotions."
"With the armband, external influences won't affect your emotions, and you won't let anger cause Hulk to go berserk. You can devote yourself entirely to your research. I think S.H.I.E.L.D.. would very much like to have such a highly skilled individual with multiple degrees join us."
"The red box contains my proudest creation. It can reconcile the conflict between you and the Hulk, allowing you both to coexist. Imagine the formidable warrior you would be with your wisdom combined with the Hulk's strength. With your restraint, the Hulk won't be the destructive Beast he is today, like a demon."
"So, Dr. Banner, do you have the courage to dance with the devil?"
Please make your choice.
"Dr. Clark, Bruce Banner is still under the influence of the Bohemian Potion. Will he regret his choice now that he has lost his emotions?" Nick Fury really wanted to make the decision for Banner. No matter how you looked at it, the contents of the red box were more in line with the future requirements.
"No, you're exactly wrong," Wei Xiuming said. "Bruce Banner is in his most rational state right now; he won't act impulsively because of the hormones that language stimulates in his brain."
After saying that, Wei Xiuming gave a mocking laugh, but Nick Fury couldn't see his expression because it was hidden by his gas mask. "When did you come to the idea that this is Fis from The Matrix posing the question to the savior about the blue and red pills, and that choosing one means there's no going back? That's just your imagination. The two options can be transformed into each other."
"I chose the red box," Bruce Banner said. "I was just influenced by a psychological urge called curiosity, and I really wanted to know how you would reconcile me and Hulk, who are fundamentally incompatible."
Wei Xiuming opened the box, took out a strange belt, and handed it to Bruce Banner: "This is Dual Driver I made. Just wear it."
He then put the blue box back into his suitcase, quietly took two steps back, and Nick Fury followed suit, moving away from the hospital bed where Bruce Banner was lying, trying to hide behind Wei Xiuming.
Bruce Banner fastened the belt around his thin waist, where his internal organs were almost visible through his skin. The belt automatically extended and secured itself to his waist.
In an instant, Bruce Banner's heart pounded wildly, so hard that he had the illusion that it might burst out of his body at any moment, breaking free of his ribs. In the not-so-crowded single room, the sound of his heartbeat echoed like the beating of war drums.
The powerful pumping of the heart accelerates the flow of blood throughout the body, and at the same time, starting from every cell, his entire body begins to undergo mutations, with his internal organs, muscles, and bones all beginning to transform into some kind of superhuman, powerful form.
Whether it was the soul influencing the body or the body influencing the soul, an angry consciousness began to awaken—that was the Hulk. While the Bohemian Potion could suppress Bruce Banner's emotions to prevent the Hulk's emergence, this was ultimately only a temporary fix and couldn't cure the condition.
When Yu the Great controlled the floods, he believed that dredging was better than blocking. Simply suppressing the Hulk might have a short-term effect, but once it fully erupted, it was like a volcanic eruption.
"Get out of here quickly! Hulk is about to come out, and I can't control him!"
After the Dual Driver was activated, the Bohemian Potion temporarily lost its effect, and emotions like fear returned to Bruce Banner. He looked at Wei Xiuming and Nick Fury and yelled at them to run away.
However, Wei Xiuming did not move, and Nick Fury, who knew Wei Xiuming's fighting strength, also did not move. They were truly unfazed even if Mount Tai jumped in front of them, showing a confident demeanor.
Bruce Banner has done everything he could; the rest is up to fate. Hopefully, the Hulk will cause less of a stir this time.
The pain felt like Bruce Banner was being thrown into a blender and pulverized, then reshaped into clay and fired in a furnace. Solid bones and strong, tough muscles replaced his original body structure, and his entire body was coated in a green hue; his skin hardened and gleamed with a paint-like sheen, as if he were wearing armor.
The expansion of his muscles and bones caused Bruce Banner to burst out of his loose hospital gown, and the needle used for intravenous injections in his arm was squeezed out by the muscles.
The hospital bed was made of very high-quality materials. Even when the person lying on it gained a ton of weight, it held up without falling apart, except for one creaking sound.
Based on past experience, Hulk should have already gone berserk by now, smashing the hospital bed, then the walls of the ward, and escaping to a wider world. But this Hulk was unusually quiet, sitting motionless on the hospital bed, like a brat who deliberately snatches a lollipop that his neighbor is selling for his nephew, closing his eyes and waiting for his father's slap to land on him.
"I..."
After a long while, Hulk opened his eyes, looking in surprise at his fingers, which had become as thick as a child's arm. "So this is what it feels like to have the Hulk's body..."
"Dr. Banner?" Nick Fury, who had used Wei Xiuming as a shield, stepped out from behind him and tentatively asked Hulk seemed to be seeing his face for the first time.
"I am not Bruce Banner." Hulk refuted Nick Fury's address, his expression agitated. A mere sway caused the hospital bed beneath him to groan again. Then, lowering his voice to a Bruce Banner -esque gentle tone, he said, "I am not Hulk either... I am a new form resulting from their fusion. You can call me Doc Green."
"I possess the Hulk's body and strength, as well as Bruce Banner's memories and knowledge. Their understanding of the world and their respective emotions have shaped me."
"Rejoice! The dual-uniform Kamen Rider has been born!"
After saying this in his mind, Wei Xiuming took two steps forward and said to Doc Green, "Doc Green, try taking off the Dual Driver."
If Doc Green is unwilling to revert to Bruce Banner, then he will have no choice but to resort to force.
Without hesitation, Doc Green deactivated the Dual Driver with one hand, and his body quickly shrank back to human form. However, the initial fusion affected Bruce Banner with the Hulk's power, making his emaciated body fuller; in short, Edward Norton became a slightly more robust Mark Ruffalo.
