The moment Thor landed, his eyes locked onto the Hulk charging at them like a runaway train. He planted his feet and tensed to rush forward again.
In the fight just now, he'd been completely suppressed by the Hulk—something Thor absolutely could not accept.
But the instant he took a step, Harry stopped him.
Harry walked toward the Hulk unhurriedly and said to Thor, "Thor, calm down. Don't charge in yet.
At his core, the Hulk is basically a child who's only been 'born' for a short time. Sure, he's got a violent temper, but maybe we can soothe him with a gentler approach and get him to settle down."
Thor looked like he'd heard the craziest thing in his life. He pointed at the Hulk barreling toward them, his voice shooting up as he shouted in disbelief, "WTF? You're telling me that giant muscle freak is a child? What kind of kid can punch me and send me flying dozens of meters?!"
"Uh… I know it sounds unbelievable, but the Hulk really is like a child," Harry spread his hands, helpless. "Leave him to me. I'll try to calm him down."
Right then, the Hulk reached them. His legs slammed with force, and he leapt high into the air, carrying the weight of a mountain as he came crashing down. The air itself roared under the pressure of his descent.
But as Harry flicked his wand, gravity in the surrounding area instantly shifted.
Just as the Hulk tried to drop with gravity, his body jerked—his smooth downward momentum stopping dead.
He froze abruptly in midair, feet hanging above the deck. No matter how he strained, he couldn't fall even an inch.
Bound by Harry, the Hulk bellowed and thrashed, twisting his limbs violently, trying to brute-force his way out of the invisible restraint.
But suspended in the air with nothing to push against, he had no leverage at all. No matter how he struggled, it was useless—every movement nothing more than frantic flailing against empty space.
Harry stepped closer, wearing a gentle smile, trying to comfort him the way you would an unruly kid.
"Hulk, don't get worked up. It's me, Harry. We're friends, remember?"
The Hulk gave no response. If anything, his temper worsened—he even tried to spit at Harry.
Behind them, Thor laughed. "Let me handle it. With a bad kid like this, you just beat him once, and he'll behave after."
Harry glanced back at him blandly. "Except you can't even beat a kid."
That hit Thor right where it hurt. He instantly lost it and shouted back, "Give me one more shot! I was careless just now—I didn't dodge in time!"
Harry waved it off and focused on scanning the Hulk's condition. His brows tightened immediately.
The Hulk's brain was wrapped in a layer of magic—Mephisto's hellfire magic.
The structure was extremely sly. It hadn't entered the Hulk's body directly, neatly avoiding the balancing influence of that great existence's power.
Instead, it created hallucinations and auditory distortions, constantly coaxing from outside the Hulk's consciousness, trying to push him into deeper and deeper rage.
Suddenly—perhaps sensing Harry's proximity—the hellfire magic coating the Hulk's surface erupted in a violent surge, exploding outward in an instant.
At the same time, Mephisto's low, amused voice echoed through the surrounding space.
"Hehehe… Harry. This is a gift I prepared for you with great effort. I hope you like it."
In that instant, Harry felt lethal danger slam into his nerves. Behind him, Thor and Steve both tensed, muscles instinctively tightening as they entered a combat-ready stance.
Inside Tony's armor, JARVIS blared a piercing alarm, the urgent electronic voice hammering into his ears.
"Warning. Warning. High-energy reaction detected. Evade immediately."
Harry's expression changed sharply.
The Hulk's body swelled.
In a blink, he shot from two meters to two and a half. The growth didn't stop—he surged past three meters, still expanding.
At the same time, the aura rolling off him became more and more savage, power waves crashing like tidal after tidal, each one stronger than the last.
His thick legs stomped down hard—on air.
The force compressed the invisible atmosphere until it seemed solid, as if a real platform had formed beneath his feet.
Using that recoil, the Hulk tore free of Harry's gravity restraint like a cannonball leaving the barrel, rocketing straight at Harry.
Roar!
A thunderous bellow detonated from his throat like lightning striking the ground.
Almost simultaneously with that roar, the Hulk was already in front of Harry—so fast he felt like a ghost. He raised a fist the size of a bucket and smashed it toward Harry's face.
Cold sweat instantly seeped from Harry's forehead.
If that punch landed, he would likely enter a near-death state immediately—then slip into full loss of control.
If that happened, aside from him and a handful of top-tier powerhouses, nobody on Earth would survive.
And in the worst scenario, before his own power could tear the Hulk apart, he would be forced to face whatever stood behind the Hulk—the mysterious dimensional god.
And right now, Mephisto was tying up the Sorcerer Supreme. With other dimensional gods stirring up time and space as well, Earth might truly be destroyed completely.
Damn it.
That was Mephisto's real goal!
Harry didn't hesitate. Thunder exploded around him. Lightning raced across his entire body, enhancing his neural reflexes.
Under that power, time seemed to get a slow-motion switch flipped—everything around him turned sluggish.
And yet the green giant's fist still came like a freight train, terrifyingly fast.
But that tiny sliver of time dilation was enough to buy Harry a narrow window to react.
A Shield of the Seraphim formed instantly before him—then shattered under the Hulk's strike, shaving off some speed and buying Harry more time.
Then Harry jabbed hard at the space in front of him.
Cracks spread outward from where his wand touched, space fracturing and expanding in an instant—swallowing the Hulk inside.
The Hulk's growth was too fast. If he stayed on the Helicarrier, the damage would be catastrophic.
Harry had no intention of testing whether his repair speed was faster than the Hulk's destruction speed—so sealing him in the Mirror Dimension was the best choice.
The Mirror Dimension's opening expanded again, engulfing Harry and the other three as well, dragging all of them inside.
They faced the fully enraged Hulk once more.
Only a few seconds passed, and the Hulk's body changed again—so dramatically it made your scalp go numb.
Now he stood around four meters tall, like a small mountain looming ahead.
His size was only about double the original, but the increase in power was nowhere near merely doubled—it was exponential.
A doubled frame boosted the Hulk's strength by dozens of times over his baseline.
The original Hulk was already absurdly strong, able to lift a hundred tons with ease.
But this Hulk's strength was on another level. The world itself felt like foam to him—he could pinch it apart without even feeling resistance.
At that moment, Harry turned to Thor, made a polite "after you" gesture, and asked, "Thor, I think you should be the one to beat this kid. He's not listening at all."
Thor stared at the big green brute—his entire body sheathed in green gamma radiation, eyes glowing a vicious green, muscles bulging like cables, and the ground cracking wherever he so much as brushed down.
Thor hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no, Harry. I think your educational approach is excellent. With brat kids, we need patience. We can't use violent discipline!"
Steve's body was tight, trembling from head to toe. The pressure radiating from the Hulk was so strong it felt like the Grim Reaper's scythe was already hanging at his throat.
Seeing the two of them still cracking jokes at a time like this, Steve said weakly, "Harry, Thor—now is not the time to change the subject. We need a way to deal with that thing."
Tony looked grim and nodded hard. "Captain, I've never agreed with you this much in my life. Do you know what JARVIS just told me?
The energy inside the Hulk right now is at least equivalent to the output of dozens of hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time!"
Harry fell silent for a beat. Then, as the Hulk spotted the four of them and charged again, Harry immediately swung his wand, turning the ground under the Hulk into a sucking mud pit, and said in a deep voice, "I'll see if I can trap him. You support me with magic from the side!"
Just then, the Hulk somehow had a massive shipping container in his hands—he hurled it straight at them.
The container tore through the sound barrier, screaming in at insane speed. Before anyone else could even react, Harry drew the Thunder Sword and slashed once, cutting the container cleanly in half.
The two halves didn't slow at all. They continued shooting backward.
Wherever they passed, metal walls crumpled like flimsy cardboard, pulverized with shrieking metallic noise.
Only after the wrecked container chunks completely punched through the Helicarrier inside the Mirror Dimension did they finally skid to a stop.
Gulp.
Tony, Steve, and Thor all swallowed hard in unison and pointed at themselves. "Wait—are we even qualified to participate in a battle like this?"
"Stop talking!" Harry shouted as he sprinted hard to the side. The Hulk had already locked onto him—if he stayed near the other three, they'd get caught in the blast radius. "We need a way to get the Hulk to regain consciousness. At minimum, we have to open a portal and send him to an uninhabited ocean!"
In the Hulk's current state, he was already terrifyingly powerful. If he kept getting stronger, anywhere he went would become a disaster zone—and Harry refused to let that happen.
So the best option was the ocean, or outer space. But thinking about how the Hulk might still be useful in his current condition, Harry decided the ocean made the most sense.
That way, the Hulk wouldn't be completely lost—and if they ever needed him, they could portal him back.
The gamma radiation swirling around the Hulk's body seemed to contain some special power, and it kept radiating outward, spreading further and further.
Under gamma reinforcement, the Hulk's physique surged again. He stomped down hard, and green light exploded from the impact point, racing outward in every direction.
Under the gamma radiation's influence, even the mud pit Harry had transfigured ruptured violently—clods of mud blasting apart into fine dust that vanished into the air.
The Hulk used that as leverage. The mud pit didn't hinder him at all. He could even rely on gamma radiation and raw power to step on air—pushing off the atmosphere itself as he charged straight at Harry.
Harry even suspected that if the Hulk's power reached the absolute peak—backed by that mysterious dimensional god—he might be able to step on space itself, treating space like something solid, using it as a foothold to launch attacks.
That kind of Hulk might be the true final form.
And even now, the Hulk was already more than strong enough. After being shoved by Mephisto into the abyss called rage, his power was dozens of times higher than normal.
If Abomination tried to face him head-on again, the Hulk would only need to throw a casual punch to kill him instantly.
Against a Hulk this strong, Harry naturally didn't dare fight him head-on.
He Apparated to the distance, then kept layering different spells, trying to find the Hulk's weakness.
Reality proved one thing: once numbers reach a certain threshold, quantity becomes quality.
None of Harry's attacks had any effect on the Hulk. Even the disintegration spell was stopped by the gamma layer—the disintegration rate wasn't even faster than the gamma radiation's regeneration!
Harry tried mind magic too, but the Hulk's rage state was too pure, and with interference from that mysterious dimensional god, even mental spells couldn't get any traction.
Then the Hulk grew again—finally reaching five meters tall.
At five meters, his strength climbed several more times on top of what it already was.
Even worse, the gamma radiation on his surface became wildly active, burning like ominous green flame. It could even detach from his body, giving him long-range attack capability.
The Hulk threw a punch. Gamma radiation burst outward with the force of the swing, forming a thick, blinding green gamma beam that tore toward Harry.
Where the beam passed, even space seemed to get sliced open, rippling with warped distortions.
Harry barely managed to invoke the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth, gritting his teeth under unimaginable pressure, converting the gamma radiation into dissipating energy discs that slowly scattered and vanished.
After doing all that, Harry was panting hard, glaring at the Hulk in irritation.
So the bastard really could reach this level?
Damn Mephisto—how did he even do this?
And the mysterious dimensional god behind the Hulk… who the hell was he?
The Hulk was only that being's chosen, and he still had power like this?
What shocked Harry even more was that the dimensional god seemed able to bypass the Trinity Guardian Array, transmitting energy to Earth through some unknown method.
What did that mean?
It meant that mysterious dimensional god was even stronger than the Vishanti.
Aside from Thor, Tony and Steve didn't dare approach the battlefield at all. Even Thor—by far the strongest among them—only dared to harass from afar with Mjolnir.
But against the current Hulk, even Mjolnir struggled to hurt him.
At the start of the battle, the Hulk couldn't lift Mjolnir at all. Now, he could even intercept Mjolnir mid-flight.
He still couldn't use it—his grip would immediately fail and it would tear free—but that alone meant the Hulk's strength was now closing in on Odin.
Tony's voice sounded urgently in Harry's ear.
"Harry—how about we just leave the Hulk in the Mirror Dimension? At this rate, I feel like we're all going to die!"
Tony's Arc Reactor flared to full brightness. A powerful energy beam a full meter wide erupted outward, carrying searing heat and shocking impact as it slammed straight into the Hulk.
But even after taking the hit, the Hulk didn't so much as flinch. He didn't even look at Tony—he kept charging Harry.
Damn it. What kind of monster is this?!
Tony decided that once this was over, he had to find a massive quantity of powerful metals and build a Hulkbuster armor.
And it had to be designed specifically for an enraged, out-of-control Hulk.
Wait—maybe he should also design an armor set specifically targeting Harry.
An Anti-Harry armor.
Harry was the strongest among them. If Harry ever lost control and became a supervillain, they'd have zero ability to resist. The whole world would be ruled by Harry.
As tempting as the thought was, Tony quickly dropped it.
Not because he didn't want to—but because with his current tech level, even if he went all-out and built armor specifically for Harry, it still wouldn't be remotely close to being Harry's match.
The gap was just too big.
Under normal circumstances, Tony's suggestion would be correct. If the target were a Muggle, banishing them to the Mirror Dimension would be the best solution.
But now it was different. After accumulating so much power from that mysterious dimensional god, the Hulk wasn't a "proper" Muggle anymore.
So Harry rejected Tony immediately.
"No. The energy the Hulk is releasing comes from a dimensional god of extremely high rank. If we leave him in the Mirror Dimension, he might literally smash this Mirror Dimension to pieces!"
"Damn it—then what do we do?"
"Don't panic. I have other ways!"
Harry drew a deep breath and began overloading his magic.
Dense rune sigils appeared around him, floating in the air, then assembling into an even more complex, powerful rune structure.
With Harry controlling the Mirror Dimension, steel rebars surged like a tidal wave toward the Hulk, swallowing him in the flood.
"Like a tidal wave" wasn't a figure of speech. It was literal.
In the Mirror Dimension, Harry could control everything at will. Even solid steel rebars could be made to flow like water.
But to the Hulk, the rebars were fragile. They couldn't stop him in the slightest—at most, they were like being underwater in the deep sea, an inconvenience and nothing more.
Steel rebars alone couldn't restrain the Hulk.
But Harry didn't stop casting. Instead, on top of the Mirror Dimension's foundation, he layered another mysterious and powerful magic.
Transfiguration!
