Michael saw clearly that Hulk's eyes were filled with struggle, defiance, and resistance. It seemed to be Bruce Banner's primary consciousness fighting back.
But unfortunately, for a first or second transformation Hulk, Bruce Banner's primary consciousness could still influence things. However, after the third transformation, Hulk's consciousness had completely suppressed Bruce Banner's primary consciousness. In fact, if he underwent a fourth or fifth transformation, Hulk's consciousness would directly devour Bruce Banner's primary consciousness, becoming a completely new primary consciousness!
At that point, Bruce Banner would truly cease to exist.
"Then, if you are willing to submit to me, I will help you never turn back into Bruce Banner again, how about it?"
Michael was like a big bad wolf tempting a little White rabbit.
"Roar!"
"Hulk! Never a slave!"
After hearing Michael's words, Hulk's eyes instantly turned blood red, and he seemed to be on the verge of transforming again.
Michael was startled. Damn, with a third transformation, his physical strength could only be described as a draw. He could only use magic to deal with Hulk. If he underwent a fourth transformation, Michael's physical strength would be useless against him, and magic might not even be able to contain Hulk anymore.
Ultimately, the power of Michael's magic was directly proportional to his own strength. The stronger his body, the more energy he contained, and the higher its quality, the more powerful his magic would naturally be.
Once Hulk underwent a fourth transformation, it would be very difficult for Michael to subdue him so easily again.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Michael quickly tried to appease him. He couldn't let this guy transform. Fortunately, the current Hulk only had the intelligence of a small child and was still easy to coax. He quickly calmed down again under Michael's assurances. "Not a slave, not a slave, not a slave!"
"Then let's try a different approach."
Michael patted Hulk's arm. Damn it, a Hulk who had transformed three times was really much bigger. Even with Hulk sitting on the ground, Michael could only reach his bicep and couldn't even reach his chin. This form was clearly bigger than when he was at the Grandmaster's amusement park. Could it be that this guy mutated because of me?
"How about this: I'll provide you with a place to vent. Normally, you can eat and drink as you please, but if I need your help, you come and help, just like a friend. How does that sound?"
Michael was coaxing him.
Of course, Michael wasn't purely coaxing him; he genuinely intended to build an amusement park similar to the Grandmaster's.
One must know that soon, Michael would acquire three million Symbiote warriors, which was completely enough combat personnel to fill this amusement park—no, this gladiatorial arena! Even after Bruce Banner and Hulk's souls were separated later, Hulk couldn't possibly maintain his current size, could he? Three million biochemical Symbiote warriors would definitely be enough for Hulk to play with!
That's right, Michael's plan was actually to… imitate the Cosmic Elder Grandmaster's amusement park.
After separating Bruce Banner and Hulk, it was clearly not feasible to leave Hulk on Earth. To give him a place to vent, building an amusement park similar to the Grandmaster's was also necessary.
"Friend?"
"Hulk! Friend!"
Hearing Michael's words, Hulk scratched his head, revealing a mix of confusion, joy, happiness, hesitation, and other expressions.
But for Michael, this was completely… a huge piece of good news!
"That's right, friend!"
"Let me, Michael, be Hulk's first friend, how about it?"
To be honest, Michael really wanted to be friends with this big guy. He was simple and straightforward. After being coaxed by Thor, he even dared to confront the Fire Giant of Ragnarok!
"Good!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hulk! Friend! Michael! Friend!"
Hulk pointed at himself, then at Michael, and burst out laughing.
"That's right! Friend! Hulk and Michael are good friends!"
Michael bumped his fist against Hulk's outstretched fingertip, also laughing loudly as he spoke.
"Yes! We are friends!..."
Swoosh! Just as Hulk acknowledged Michael's friendship, Hulk's massive body rapidly began to shrink. Bruce Banner, who was constantly vying for control of the body with Hulk, seized the opportunity while Hulk was happy and off guard, successfully snatching back control.
Before long, a shirtless man wearing 'God pants' appeared before Michael. It was Bruce Banner!
Hiss!!! Bruce Banner didn't fully regain consciousness immediately. He struggled to get up, slapping his head as if something was messing with his brain, causing a needle-like pain.
"Who are you?!"
After a while, Bruce Banner finally recovered. Without the stinging pain in his head, he finally had time to look around and discovered Michael standing nearby. He jumped back with a start, on guard, and asked.
When transforming into Hulk, Bruce Banner's main consciousness could only roughly sense the outside World and couldn't know what it was like. Moreover, a three-times transformed Hulk completely suppressed his main consciousness in his mind, so he wouldn't know who Michael was.
"Michael, the true controller of the… Group. Of course, you might not have heard of it, but it doesn't matter. It won't be long before the name of… spreads across the globe.
Of course, there's another identity you might care about more.
That is, Hulk's friend!"
With a slight smile, Michael didn't extend his hand to shake hands or anything.
Because there was no need.
"What?"
Bruce Banner was startled and retreated many steps, as if Michael in front of him was a terrifying wild Beast.
"Friend? Hulk's friend?"
Seeing that Michael didn't move, Bruce Banner finally relaxed a little and then asked cautiously.
"That's right, Hulk's friend!"
Michael said with a smile, "That… big green guy, though a bit reckless, is good for a friend!"
"What the f—!"
Bruce Banner's eyes widened, looking completely incredulous. "You just consider Hulk's rampaging and smashing as reckless? Do you know how much destructive power he has? Do you know how dangerous he is? You actually made him a friend?!"
"I think you should calm down first, don't you think?"
Looking at the faint green skin appearing on Bruce Banner's face, Michael calmly pointed and said.
