Thor rolled toward the fallen hammer, quickly grasped it, and hurled it at Hulk with tremendous force.
However, Hulk blocked the attack with one massive hand.
The Grandmaster and Loki involuntarily leaned forward, wanting to observe more closely.
Hulk slowly removed Thor's hammer from his grasp, his face dark and menacing, as if water could drip from it. The recent defeat had clearly enraged this giant completely.
Thor smiled again, believing he had triggered recognition.
But then he realized something was terribly wrong, and the smile on his face vanished. The next second, Hulk's punch sent him spinning through the air and flying dozens of meters backward.
The audience's enthusiasm grew even higher after witnessing this scene.
Thor crashed to the ground and bounced up due to inertia. He repeatedly tapped his feet on the ground attempting to stop, but he still couldn't halt his momentum and finally collapsed to the ground again.
Before Thor could even steady himself, Hulk leaped high and landed heavily upon him.
He clasped his fists together and slammed them into Thor's body, then continued attacking Thor's head with alternating left and right punches.
Loki in the VIP room couldn't help but close his eyes, unable to watch this brutal scene.
The Grandmaster, standing nearby, seemed very pleased after seeing Hulk regain the upper hand.
Hulk used all his strength to strike Thor repeatedly, and a massive crater formed in the ground.
Under his fierce assault, the helmet Thor was wearing was also knocked off.
At this moment, Thor's eyes became somewhat vacant and lifeless under Hulk's relentless attack. He seemed to see Odin looking at him in a trance.
Under the pressure from Hulk, Thor gradually awakened the power of the God of Thunder within his body.
A blue-white light flashed in his eyes!
Lightning swirled around him, accompanied by a buzzing sound. Hulk, who was mounted on him delivering continuous punches, noticed something was wrong.
The next second, he was knocked away by Thor's lightning-infused punch, who had awakened the power of the God of Thunder.
Hulk screamed, fell backward to the ground, and his helmet tumbled off.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Grandmaster could no longer sit still and immediately stood up with wide eyes.
Loki also felt somewhat incredulous. He hadn't expected that after losing Mjolnir, Thor could still trigger his inherent power!
The audience looked at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, the arena became quite quiet.
Thor examined his hands, which crackled with lightning. A strange sensation lingered in his consciousness. He could sense that he was fundamentally different!
Hulk slowly rose, clenched his fists, and still refused to admit defeat, determined to continue fighting.
Thor looked at him and strode forward confidently. Hulk roared angrily, and both of them sprinted and leaped with all their might. Hulk clasped his fists and slammed, while Thor threw a devastating punch.
As the two forces collided, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the arena, and Thor's precise punch pierced through Hulk's guard and struck his face.
A burst of lightning exploded in the center of the arena, and Hulk fell heavily to the ground, while Thor landed smoothly. This time, Thor had won!
The audience was captivated by this turn of events and began cheering for Thor.
"Lord of Thunder! Lord of Thunder! Lord of Thunder!"
Fighters like Korg, who were observing the scene, were also drawn in and began shouting: "Lord of Thunder! Lord of Thunder..."
Hulk half-crouched on the ground, shook his head, and gradually recovered from the devastating blow.
Thor, surrounded by crackling lightning, strode toward him with authority.
The Grandmaster held the remote control in his hand, tapping his chin gently, contemplating whether to incapacitate Thor.
But seeing Thor's aggressive approach, he finally pressed the activation button toward Thor.
Thor shuddered violently, and the mixture of nerve toxins and electric current caused him to collapse to the ground.
Looking at Thor falling, Hulk slowly approached him.
The Grandmaster retrieved the remote control, a disdainful smile on his face. No one could leave Sakaar!
Loki looked at him with surprise. He had never expected that the Grandmaster would resort to the same underhanded tactics as himself!
Valkyrie, who originally thought Thor could defeat Hulk and become the first to earn freedom, shook her head in disappointment after witnessing this scene.
She drank the wine in the bottle and lost interest in watching further.
Hulk leaped high into the air, and everyone's eyes followed him upward.
Valkyrie turned around, and behind her, Hulk jumped to her level, then clenched his fists and rushed downward.
Korg sighed in disappointment. He had thought Thor could perform miracles! But in the end, he still faced defeat!
"Same ending! No difference!"
Lying on the ground, Thor looked at Hulk charging toward him at high speed and suddenly extended a hand...
-Real World-
"They're actually cheating! That's despicable!" Tony said with obvious disdain.
Mysterio was very disappointed: "I was just about to see how the battle between awakened Thor and Hulk would play out, and he does this to me! What a letdown!"
Rhodes laughed: "Yeah! But after the video is broadcast on the screen, I suspect the Grandmaster's championship battle won't be able to continue!"
Captain America stated calmly: "Those viewers will be furious that he's manipulating the results!"
"That's his problem to solve!" Nick Fury glanced at Star-Lord who walked in with a satisfied expression.
"Do you think Thor can win?"
Star-Lord nodded vigorously: "Yeah! Of course! I'm absolutely certain!"
Thor looked at him with great satisfaction.
Drax observed: "Quill! You've changed! You weren't like this before!"
Star-Lord spread his hands: "Oh! This is called being perceptive! After all, Hulk won't suddenly jump out and hit me, but Thor will!"
"Quill! You're just afraid of Thor's iron fist!"
Star-Lord rolled his eyes, ignored Rocket who was always antagonistic, and sat on the sofa, examining his hands thoughtfully.
In the battle with Thor just now - well, it wasn't called a battle, it was actually just Thor beating Star-Lord unilaterally, but he didn't use much strength.
He just used a small amount of electric current to stimulate Star-Lord's body, making him feel numb all over, so that he could experience the sensation of being electrocuted.
Although Star-Lord had actually experienced this many times, one of which was when Rocket made him endure it on Xandar, he still felt that Thor's electric shock was different from before!
He could vaguely sense the electric current acting on his body, as if something inside him was about to break free.
But it was so subtle that he even thought it was an illusion at first.
But as Thor increased the power incrementally later, he clearly felt a surge of energy in his body!
Now he wanted to understand what that was? The first thing that came to his mind was the divine power inherited from Ego!
