Hulk Suffocates into Unconsciousness

After realizing he could no longer accurately control his limbs, a panicked expression appeared on Hulk's large green face.

He had no idea what Roy had done to him.

But one thing was certain: the feeling of his limbs being beyond his control was unbearable, instinctively filling him with a panic he had never experienced before.

Watching Hulk struggle wildly on the ground in an attempt to regain control of his body, Roy took Gaara's large gourd from the System Space and dispelled the chakra cloak around himself.

Rather than carrying the large gourd on his back like Gaara did, he placed it beside him.

Under his control, the gourd's stopper turned into sand first and floated into the air.

Then, the sand inside the gourd flew out as well, swirling around him as though it had a life of its own.

At the sight of the sand, Hulk struggled even more fiercely.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he still could not stand up.

If Hulk had possessed Banner's intelligence, he would have quickly discovered the pattern behind Chaotic Body Pulse's electrical signals.

Although discovering the pattern did not mean he could break Chaotic Body Pulse, he at least would not have been as panicked as he was now.

Roy paid no attention to Hulk's struggle and controlled the sand as it flew toward him.

Before long, the sand arrived in front of Hulk.

He had no intention of using ninjutsu such as Sand Binding Coffin or Sand Burial on Hulk. Instead, he planned to use the sand to make Hulk completely lose consciousness.

More precisely, he was going to suffocate Hulk into unconsciousness.

As for how to suffocate Hulk into unconsciousness, it was simple.

He could fill Hulk's lungs with sand, or smother his mouth and nose with it.

Hulk's strength and body were indeed formidable.

But Hulk still needed to breathe.

The swirling sand burrowed into Hulk's mouth and nose like yellow smoke, sealing them shut.

Considering that Hulk would eventually have to return the body to Banner, Roy did not allow the sand to enter Hulk's lungs through his trachea.

Hulk was not afraid of pneumoconiosis.

Banner was.

He could make every grain of sand that entered Hulk's lungs come back out.

But he could not control the dust carried by the sand.

Once Hulk returned control of the body to Banner, Banner would very likely end up with pneumoconiosis.

With his mouth and nose sealed airtight by sand, Hulk struggled even more violently.

If Hulk's previous struggle had been to regain control of his limbs and stand up,

then his current struggle was a biological instinct caused by severe oxygen deprivation.

Seeing Roy control the sand into Hulk's body, General Ross and the surrounding soldiers unconsciously swallowed, their expressions complicated.

When Roy had been beating Hulk down, they had already known it was only a matter of time before Roy defeated him.

But they had never expected Roy to end the battle by suffocating Hulk into unconsciousness with sand.

They were not the only ones who had not expected it. Betty had not either.

When the soldiers around her had their attention drawn to Hulk's agonized struggle, she ran toward Roy as quickly as she could.

General Ross did not order the soldiers to bring her back, allowing her to approach Roy.

"Please, let Bruce go!"

"He isn't a bad person. He's a victim too!"

Betty looked at Roy pleadingly and spoke quickly.

"My assignment was to capture him alive, not kill him."

"Once he loses consciousness, I'll hand him over to General Ross."

Roy responded unhurriedly.

Hearing that his goal was to capture Banner alive rather than kill him, Betty immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Hulk's pain-filled face.

Just as she considered whether to go over and calm Hulk down, Roy's voice rang out again.

"I advise you to stay here."

"Right now, he only has the instinct to survive. He won't recognize you at all."

"Even if he accidentally hits you once, with your physique, you'll most likely be seriously injured."

Betty bit her lip and looked at Hulk with an anguished expression, saying nothing.

Time passed bit by bit.

Hulk's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

At last, he lay motionless on the ground and completely lost consciousness.

After Hulk passed out, his body began to shrink, and the green color of his skin slowly faded away.

Seeing this, Roy knew that Hulk had returned the body to Banner.

Without any hesitation, he controlled the sand again and had it fly back into the gourd.

He then returned the gourd to the System Space.

Once Banner had returned to normal, Betty immediately took off her white trench coat and covered the exposed Banner with it.

General Ross quickly approached with the soldiers.

After glancing at the unconscious Banner, he said to the soldier beside him, "Take him back to the base."

"Yes, sir!"

The soldier took out handcuffs and walked toward Banner.

Roy raised a hand to stop the soldier and looked at General Ross.

"You haven't paid yet."

"I won't go back on my word!"

"If you want to take him away, pay the reward first."

Roy took a card from his pocket and handed it to General Ross.

General Ross accepted the card and glanced at it.

There were only two lines on the card.

One was the name of a bank.

The other was an account number.

This was one of Roy's many overseas accounts.

General Ross said nothing. He took out his phone and sent the bank name and account number to his female secretary.

Less than a minute later, Roy received a deposit notification from the bank on his phone.

After confirming that the amount was correct, he said to General Ross, "He's yours."

The moment the words left his mouth, he vanished, disappearing completely from the sight of General Ross, Betty, and the others as he returned from Culver University to his Upper East Side villa.

The moment he returned to the villa, a system notification indicating that the assignment had been completed appeared before him.

[Assignment: Assist General Ross in capturing Bruce Banner]

[Assignment Status: Completed]

[Assignment Reward: Three-Tomoe Sharingan (Delivered)]

I finally have the Sharingan!

A satisfied smile appeared on Roy's face.

After closing the notification panel and returning the white ANBU animal mask to the System Space, he walked over to the bathroom mirror.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the chakra within his body.

Sharingan!

Activate!

The next second, his eyes changed from black to red, and three black tomoe arranged in a circle appeared around his pupils.

After admiring his newly acquired Three-Tomoe Sharingan with satisfaction, Roy deactivated it and returned his eyes to normal.

Just as he had guessed, because this was not the Naruto world but the Marvel universe, the system had made some adjustments to the Sharingan so that it fit the Marvel universe.

First was its ability to copy ninjutsu.

Since he was the only person in this world who knew ninjutsu, the ability to copy non-Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu had been adjusted into the ability to copy extraordinary abilities that did not come from genetic mutations or special bloodlines.

Likewise, observing chakra flow had become observing energy flow.

As for everything else, it was the same as the Sharingan in the Naruto world.

After calming himself down, Roy opened the status panel and looked at the Kekkei Genkai section.

[Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan, Sharingan (Three Tomoe)]

Can the Byakugan and Sharingan be activated at the same time?

This thought surfaced in his mind without warning.

He did not waste time dwelling on it and closed the status panel.

Practice was the only way to find the truth!

If he wanted to know the answer, he only needed to try it.

The facts proved that he had been a little too optimistic.

Although he had two eyes, he could not activate the Byakugan in one eye and the Sharingan in the other.

Still, it was not much of a problem.

After all, he could switch to whichever eyes he needed at any time.
