Michael didn't know if it was related to soul magic, but Hulk's intelligence grew very quickly. During the time Michael and Dr. Blue were researching, materializing, and building the Dream No. Universe Flying City, Hulk's intelligence grew exponentially, quickly reaching the level of a middle school student on Earth.
Of course, it might also be because he was no longer suppressed by his original soul personality, as well as the Abomination's guidance. Initially, Hulk and Abomination, these two muscular behemoths, could only serve as equipment porters for Michael and Dr. Blue. But after Michael and Dr. Blue inadvertently researched Telepathy Technology and created a large number of telepathic machines, these two became completely useless.
In the words of Dr. Samuel Sterns, moving things just got in the way.
And so, Hulk and Abomination, who had transformed from brick-movers into idle members of society, went off for a long period of 'intimate contact'.
Don't get the wrong idea, it was hand-to-hand combat! Well, to put it simply, it was fighting! Not that kind of...!
With nothing to do and bored out of their minds all day, Hulk and Abomination immediately became fighting enthusiasts, constantly clashing.
It was precisely during this process that Hulk and Abomination became good friends who talked about everything. Except when they were fighting, they were always arm in arm wherever they went, making Michael feel as if he had walked onto the wrong set.
Oh my god! Hulk and Abomination actually became good buddies!
Of course, perhaps it was related to soul magic, or perhaps it was out of gratitude to Michael for saving him from Bruce Banner's main consciousness suppression. After his intelligence increased, Hulk held Michael in immense reverence, respect, and admiration!
..."!"
Compared to Hulk's exclusive title, Abomination Emil Blonsky naturally called Michael "Boss." He greeted him and respectfully stood aside.
Of course, even if Abomination were to call Michael "Boss," Michael wouldn't have any objections. Anyway, in Michael's opinion, they were all his absolutely loyal subordinates, so calling him "Boss," "Owner," or even "Master" didn't matter.
"Boss, are we leaving?"
After his intelligence increased, Michael had materialized a magic-modified head-mounted learning device for Hulk. In just a week, he had learned the knowledge that a normal Earthling would acquire from kindergarten to university!
Hulk could thump his chest and say: "I, Hulk, am also a university student!"
However, compared to studying, hand-to-hand combat attracted Hulk more.
But as a Hulk with normal university-level knowledge, he could easily discern what the Universe Flying City was built for.
Moreover, Michael had never hidden his intention to advance into the Universe from the very beginning of building this massive Universe Flying City.
"Of course."
Michael patted Hulk's arm, which was rock solid! After such a long time, with the assistance of Michael's even more powerful super brainpower, super control, super micro-manipulation, and other methods, he could now easily control his surging strength.
Furthermore, this was Hulk, so Michael didn't have to worry about accidentally patting him into a meat paste or anything.
"Once Dr. Blue arrives, we will depart immediately!"
Michael smiled. The Dream had finished charging. It was time to venture into the depths of the Universe!
"Yay!"
Hulk clapped his hands, almost jumping up and down.
After all, his mind was still that of a middle schooler, and even with the knowledge of a normal Earth university student, it didn't hinder Little Hulk's yearning for the depths of the Universe! "Haha! Boss! I'm here too!"
Just then, Samuel Sterns, looking like a typical Scientist, flew over lightly on a thin hoverboard.
Mind-controlled anti-gravity hover surfboards—you deserve to own one! "This is truly an exciting moment!"
At this moment, Samuel Sterns no longer retained his usual composure; his words conveyed a strong sense of anticipation!
Although a large part of this cosmic flying city was developed by Samuel Sterns, and he had delved deeply into the knowledge of Universe navigation, research is still research.
Practical application is what a qualified Scientist loves to do most!
First wormhole traversal! First space journey! First trip into space! First deep space excursion! What a thrilling moment!
... "White, begin self-check!" Michael called out.
"Understood, Sir!"
"Now initiating self-check procedure..."
"Main control quantum dark energy intelligent system self-check normal..."
"Dark energy, antimatter energy, nuclear energy power system self-check normal..."
"Energy shield system self-check normal..."
"Weapon system self-check normal..."
"Quantum communication system self-check normal..."
"Life support system self-check normal..."
"Space positioning and navigation system self-check normal..."
"Space warp system self-check normal..."
"Artificial wormhole system self-check normal..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Dream Spaceship self-check procedure complete, all normal. Sir!"
White's emotionless voice echoed through the entire cockpit.
Whether it was Michael, Samuel Sterns, Hulk, or even Abomination, they were all incredibly nervous, fearing that White might suddenly announce that something was abnormal.
"Woah!!!"
It wasn't until White declared everything normal that Hulk finally jumped up directly.
Not only Hulk, but Michael, Dr. Blue, and Abomination all broke into smiles.
... "White! Activate the antimatter main energy reactor!"
"Retrieve the 'Quasi-Black Hole Energy Extraction Device'!"
"Initiate propulsion system preheating!"
"Initiate artificial wormhole system preheating!"
"Initiate space warp system preheating!"
"In short, activate all systems for deep space departure!"
Since everything was ready, what were they waiting for? Time to depart!
"Received!"
"'Quasi-Black Hole Energy Extraction Device' has been retracted into the Dream's cabin."
"Dream's various systems are preheated and ready!"
"Dream is ready for departure at any time!"
White reported faithfully.
"Then what are we waiting for!"
"Depart!"
Stepping forward, Michael pushed the propulsion lever on the control panel all the way down!
