Sitting in the Armed Helicopter, General Ross watched the Green Giant below with a complex expression; this monster he had hunted for years was now struggling to clean up the catastrophe he had caused.

Before becoming the Green Giant, Bruce Banner was not only General Ross's most brilliant scientist but also his intended son-in-law. That experiment changed everything: Bruce Banner became a wanted fugitive, and his daughter became a stranger to him.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he had cultivated the Abomination, a warrior designed in his plans to counter the Green Giant.

But now, everything had reversed. Banner had finally suppressed the Green Giant through his experiments and had been captured. On the other side, the Abomination, addicted to this newfound power, had injected himself with the Green Giant's blood to become another formidable monster.

Now, the only one who could stop him was the Green Giant, leaving the lifelong hardliner General Ross in a state of confusion, wondering if he had truly been wrong all along.

"Father, help him, I beg you," Betty Ross pleaded from the side.

His daughter's plea brought General Ross back to his senses. Gritting his teeth, he finally made his decision. "Provide fire support!"

"Support who?" the soldier asked, turning around.

"The green one, you idiot! Take the other one out for me!" General Ross grabbed the soldier and roared.

"Yes, General!" The soldier raised the Gatling Gun and began strafing the Abomination.

Depleted Uranium Shells were no ordinary ammunition; they contained small amounts of radioactive uranium. The moment the bullet struck its target, the uranium inside would ignite, and the resulting high temperature could even melt steel. A single Depleted Uranium Shell had the power to easily pierce an armored tank.

Yet, even this only caused the Abomination minor superficial wounds, merely making him feel pain. With the Abomination's regenerative abilities, such wounds healed almost instantly.

This action, however, infuriated the Abomination. Watching the Armed Helicopter darting between the skyscrapers, the Abomination suddenly leaped up, jumping between the buildings like a gorilla.

"Get down here!" The Abomination reached out, tore off a chunk of a wall, and hurled it, destroying one of the Armed Helicopters.

He then lunged toward the other helicopter, where General Ross could be seen sitting.

"Die, Ross!" The Abomination pushed off with his feet and leaped toward the helicopter. However, just as the helicopter failed to dodge and his hand was about to grab the tail rotor, the Abomination suddenly felt a weight on his feet—the Green Giant had lunged up to intercept him.

The man sitting in the helicopter was his father-in-law. Granted, this father-in-law was truly despicable—not only had he broken up the lovers, but he was also obsessed with seizing his body to satisfy his own selfish desires, making him hateful beyond measure.

But! One had to remember who the Green Giant was. As the Forgiving Giant, the Green Giant naturally chose to forgive him.

Furthermore, his wife was on that helicopter; there was no way the Green Giant would let the Abomination succeed.

With a roar, the Green Giant pulled the Abomination down, and the two giants tangled together, plummeting from the sky.

Boom! The ground tore open and collapsed, shaking violently and shattering all the glass within dozens of meters.

Roar! The Green Giant, pinning the Abomination down, was the first to recover, clenching his fist and slamming it into the Abomination's face.

With the Green Giant's strength, even a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate would likely be punched through, but the Abomination merely tilted his head and spat out a tooth.

"Is that all the strength you have?" The Abomination looked at the Green Giant with a taunt.

Logically, the Abomination was just a monster created using the Green Giant's gamma-irradiated blood; at best, he was a knockoff, and his strength should have been inferior to the Green Giant's.

Unfortunately, Bruce Banner had previously conducted experiments to suppress the Green Giant, and the results had been unexpectedly effective, nearly keeping the Green Giant from emerging at all. Even now, forced out by the threat of death, the Green Giant was in a state similar to a hangover, his strength far below his peak, making him no match for the Abomination in their clash.

Of course, if one had to insist on the real reason, it was perhaps because the Green Giant had a thick head of black hair, while the Abomination, in his quest for power, had gone completely bald—not just his hair, but every strand of hair on his body was gone, making the Abomination appear more formidable.

Hmm... that actually seemed to hold some logic.

"Green Giant, you aren't worthy of this power at all." The Bald Giant sneered, grabbed the Green Giant, and kicked him flying with a powerful strike.

Unable to control his body, the Green Giant slid and tumbled across the ground, smashing through a perimeter wall and then through the wall of a low building before finally coming to a stop.

Not far in front of the Green Giant, an elderly woman in her fifties was huddled in a corner, trembling as she clutched several children.

Director Emma was clutching the youngest child in the orphanage tightly, praying to God for protection. She had seen the news on the New York TV Station, of course. She knew it was dangerous here, but she had no choice; with so many children, they couldn't be evacuated without a bus.

So, she could only have the children hide in their rooms and pray that these two monsters wouldn't come to this street, as the initial battle site was still some distance away. But clearly, this poor, kind lady had underestimated the destruction range of the two monsters.

Shaking his head, the Green Giant stood up. After glancing at Ms. Emma and the children from the orphanage, he turned and walked out.

But just then, two cars were suddenly thrown over by the Abomination.

"Ah!" One of the seven or eight-year-old children screamed in terror at the sight. Hearing this, the Green Giant's pupils constricted, and in that instant, Bruce Banner's personality seemed to gain the upper hand.

The Green Giant didn't dodge; instead, he blocked with his hands in front of him, choosing to take the impact of the two cars head-on.

"Boom!" The two cars were deflected, crashing into the surrounding houses.

"Green Giant, you are no match for me!" The Abomination, never one to miss an opportunity, roared as he charged toward the Green Giant.

However, as time passed, the negative effects of the previous experiment began to fade. Coupled with the Abomination's constant taunting, the Green Giant, finally enraged, prepared to unleash his ultimate move.

He clenched his fists, raised them high, and prepared to slam them into the ground.

"Hulk Slash!" The Green Giant shouted his only ultimate move line—a simple, crude skill name, but at least it sounded better than "Hulk Smash."

Yet, just as his hands were about to touch the ground, they were caught by another slender, elegant hand. Indeed, the Green Giant's ultimate move was interrupted by a hand that looked entirely ordinary.

"A Green Giant is still a Green Giant. I really shouldn't have expected your intelligence to be online. If you just slam your fists forward, the force will inevitably hit the innocent people behind you." Appearing before the Green Giant was a very ordinary-looking young man, and on his face, he wore a Smiling Poker Face Mask with a goatee and a handlebar mustache.
