Hulk flew out and struck the wall violently, continuing along the circular barrier, the structure crumbling along his path, and finally stopped when he collided with a protruding corner.
Korg and the other stone beings watching the battle in the corridor behind the wall shielded their eyes as massive amounts of debris rolled in from outside the protective railings.
"What?!" The Grandmaster, who had been extremely excited, was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that Thor actually possessed the strength to fight back against Hulk!
Valkyrie, who was observing the battle through a telescope from her aerial position, couldn't help but regard Thor with newfound respect!
Hulk rose from the rubble, shook his head to clear it, and retrieved his double-edged axe.
Thor slowly approached Hulk, gripping Hulk's massive hammer.
"Hey, big guy! The sun's getting real low!"
Thor imitated the lullaby Natasha used to calm Hulk and extended his hand toward the green giant.
Hulk adjusted his crooked helmet back into position, looked at Thor, and reached out his hand.
"That's right! The sun's getting real low!"
Valkyrie's eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes observing Thor and Hulk's joined hands with curious intensity.
The Grandmaster, however, frowned and narrowed his eyes, his expression twitching slightly. The battle's development wasn't matching his expectations!
Thor smiled peacefully: "I won't hurt you anymore! No one will hurt you now!"
Thor's innocent smile hadn't faded when he suddenly screamed and was dragged down.
It turned out that Hulk had suddenly grasped his leg, slammed it forcefully against the ground four times, and hurled him far away.
Allowing him to experience the same blissful hell slam as Loki had!
After completing this maneuver, Hulk stood there, clenching his fists and roaring, which made the audience's blood boil! They cheered even louder.
Loki in the VIP room witnessed this and couldn't help but stand up and shout excitedly: "Yes!!! That's exactly the feeling!!!"
The Grandmaster looked at him with confusion, wondering why he was suddenly so animated.
Loki smiled at him and declared: "I really love this sport!"
Upon hearing this, the Grandmaster laughed happily.
-Real World-
"Thor... Do you think you're Natasha?" Rhodes couldn't help but cover his face.
"Hahaha! Natasha is a beautiful woman. Hulk would be shy in front of her, so he would retreat... Thor, you're a bearded guy, how could Hulk fall for your tricks?"
Tony looked at the deflated Thor and laughed loudly.
"Look how happy Loki is. He suffered the same treatment from Hulk as Thor just did. He feels vindicated now! Hahaha!"
Hearing Hill's observation, Nick Fury said calmly: "History always repeats itself!"
Mysterio analyzed seriously: "I personally think that if Thor hadn't shown that creepy smile, Hulk might not have attacked!"
Thor, who had just returned to Earth through the Rainbow Bridge, heard their commentary from afar and walked in with a frown.
"Oh! Damn..." Tony, who was facing the entrance, spotted Thor's silhouette first and immediately fell silent.
Star-Lord, with his back to the door, didn't know Thor had returned yet. He laughed and said: "Isn't the special program playing on the screen this time about Thor's embarrassing moments?"
Thor approached him and placed his arm around his neck: "What's going on?"
Gamora nearby burst into laughter. It was remarkable for him to speak poorly of someone right in front of them. That was quintessentially Star-Lord.
Star-Lord turned his head stiffly, revealing a forced smile:
"Hey! Man! You're back? When did you arrive?"
"You just returned and you look a bit idle. Why don't we go get some exercise?"
Before Star-Lord could refuse, Rocket shouted: "That's an excellent idea! Quill is only one step away from obesity! He should get some exercise!"
He winked at Drax as he spoke, and Drax added: "Yes! He's about to go from a friend to a fat friend!"
"Hey! You two..." Star-Lord looked at his two troublesome companions and was pulled out by Thor with a helpless expression.

"Hulk! Hulk! Hulk..." The audience cheered frantically.
Hulk roared in response to their enthusiasm.
Thor rolled on the ground twice before standing and gripping the giant hammer tightly.
"All right! Damn it!"
Seeing Hulk charging toward him, Thor leaned over and dodged his blow.
While Hulk's axe was still embedded in the ground, Thor struck him forcefully on the leg with his hammer.
Then, without pausing, he delivered an uppercut to Hulk's chin, sending him stumbling backward a step.
Thor raised his giant hammer and leaped up. He dodged Hulk's giant axe with a sideways maneuver in mid-air and struck his head with another hammer blow.
Hulk fell backward uncontrollably, and Thor shattered the axe he was still gripping tightly with his hammer.
"I know you're in there! Banner! I'm going to get you out!"
As he spoke, he swung his hammer with all his might, sending Hulk flying over ten meters and crashing to the ground.
Hulk felt that he had disappointed the audience's expectations. He roared angrily and immediately rose and charged toward Thor.
Thor swung his hammer to meet the attack, but Hulk, using gravitational acceleration, knocked the hammer from his grasp with a punch.
Thor, having lost his giant hammer, immediately stepped back to avoid Hulk's second punch.
Taking advantage of the gap when Hulk punched the ground, Thor struck Hulk forcefully in the face, snapping his head back.
Thor looked at Hulk with some anger.
"What's wrong with you? You're embarrassing me! I told them we were friends!"
Hulk ignored Thor's words and swung at his face in anger.
Thor ducked his head to avoid the attack, then punched him twice in the chest.
Hulk swung his hand again, but Thor dodged nimbly. However, Hulk fell to the ground due to his excessive momentum.
Thor took the opportunity to punch him in the lower back.
Seeing Hulk at a disadvantage, the Grandmaster gritted his teeth anxiously. He began worrying that Hulk would lose!
Thor pursued and punched Hulk several times, then jumped up and hung on his back, tightly choking his neck.
But Hulk was no pushover. He leaped up and slammed his back to the ground, then delivered an elbow strike.
Under this crushing blow, Thor could no longer maintain his hold on Hulk, and both of them rolled to opposite sides.
