Betty looked at him with confusion.
"Let's go somewhere else!"
Snap!
As Adam snapped his fingers, they suddenly appeared in a white space.
There weren't four people, instead five.
Roar!
Hulk angrily roared at Adam, but Adam chuckled and floated above Hulk, petting his head.
"Calm down, Big Guy!"
But the Hulk kept roaring. He was releasing his dissatisfaction to Banner for suppressing, or even trying to kill him.
"Hulk!"
Banner saw Hulk for the first time, without being transformed. He was angry for a moment, then went silent.
While Ross and Betty were staring at Adam.
Ross was afraid. But he was also courageous in his own right. He looked at Adam and asked.
"What do you mean by selling Betty's soul? Are you a Devil's follower?"
Adam waved his hand and said.
"Come on! My master is not a Devil. He is more than just a Devil. Anyway, he has given me tasks to collect the souls of the dead people."
"And, thanks to you, General Ross, I have already collected hundreds of souls."
"Unfortunately, I am not allowed to cause mass murder. So, I am here to bargain with your daughter."
At this moment, Betty asked.
"You said you can help Banner with Hulk? Can you separate them? If you can, I will not hesitate to sell my soul."
"Betty, no! I will not agree to this." Ross shouted.
"Yes, I don't want you to sacrifice anything. If you want to sacrifice someone's soul, you should sacrifice mine."
Banner said, walking in front of Adam.
Hulk angrily growled at him. He didn't like how they were discussing him, without even asking for his permission.
Adam shook his head.
"Unfortunately, that is not possible, Mr Banner. You have already sold your soul."
"Impossible! This is the first time I have gotten in a situation like this." Banner shook his head.
Adam chuckled and asked.
"Mr. Banner, haven't you ever questioned why a Gamma Reaction could give birth to Hulk?"
"Why can only your blood produce more Hulks but not any other Gamma Explosions?"
"Sometimes, if you are dealing with a too powerful being, they don't permission of a weakling."
"Without Hulk, you are just another genius scientist, Mr. Banner. If I want to deal with you, I can just control you to sign the contract, kill you, then take away your soul."
"In fact, most devils do this. Fortunately for you, my master is upright and righteous."
Hearing that, Banner fell into contemplation while Betty asked.
"You haven't answered my question. Can you separate Hulk and Banner?"
Roar!
Hearing that, Hulk shouted at Betty, but she didn't even flinch.
Adam shook his head and said.
"I can, but by doing so, I will be dooming this world. Hulk is not a problem. He is a safety measure against the true Devil."
"Even if I could, I will not. The only reason why I will stop Abomination for your soul is simply because of your fate with Banner."
"Without that, your soul is absolutely normal."
Hearing that, Betty couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Ross, who had been silent for a while, asked.
"What about mine?"
Adam clicked his tongue and said.
"Well, your soul is worthless. You will definitely go to hell after your death. So, I don't have to worry about snatching your soul after your death."
"Anyway, that is enough. The more time we spend here, the more destruction Abomination can do."
"Well, Miss Betty, if you are still hesitating, let me give a piece of information. You might change your mind after that."
Betty took a deep breath, even though there was no air in this place, and asked.
"What is it?"
In fact, she had almost agreed in her mind. As long as she could prevent Banner from transforming into Hulk, she didn't mind selling her soul.
"If Banner transforms into Hulk and fights Abomination, he will become a fugitive and world-class criminal even though he is trying to stop Abomination."
Banner and Ross didn't say anything.
Banner had faced enough chase to understand that he would always be seen as a threat to the world, while Ross knew this was exactly what he wanted to do.
On the other hand, Betty shouted.
"Why? Isn't Hulk trying to stop that monster?"
"For that, you might ask your respected daddy. Anyway, as I said, I will help you solve Abomination and even promote his identity to the world."
"You can also stay with Banner until Hulk is fully recovered. So, what do you think?"
"By the way, I can also hide Banner from the world until Hulk recovers."
He said and took out the contract.
He can see that Betty wasn't hesitant to sign the contract. At this moment, she would rather sell her soul than let Banner become a War criminal.
On the other hand, Ross was thinking.
'As soon as I leave this place, I will immediately contact the military to surround this place. I will not let this devil leave here.'
Banner tried convincing her not to sign it, but she didn't care.
She loved Banner. Her love for Banner was so deep that she would rather transform into the female Hulk than leave him.
That's why, despite being in a relationship with someone else, she still couldn't let go of her feelings for Banner.
After she signed, Betty didn't feel anything.
"Is that it?" She asked.
Adam nodded. He looked at Banner and said.
"Even if you have to do everything to control Hulk, do not let go of a girl like her."
He said this for a reason. After explaining everything, they knew Hulk could stop Abomination.
Except for stopping Hulk from recovering, Adam was taking Betty's soul for free.
She wasn't going to die with Hulk being present. In other words, she had absolutely no reason to sign this contract.
She only did it to be with Banner.
And, Banner understood this. He grabbed her hand and said.
"I'm sorry for all of this, Betty."
"I don't want to lose you, Bruce."
Betty replied as she wrapped her hand around his.
"Alright, that's enough love drama! Let's return!"
Snap!
And, with that snap, they returned to the helicopter.
"General Ross! General Ross, are you there, General?"
"Yes, yes, I am here, soldier. What happened?"
"General, I have been contacting you for five seconds. Haven't you given a command against the Hulk? What should we do?"
When Ross heard that, his eyes widened as he stared at Adam.
He couldn't believe only five seconds had passed. They had spent at least five to ten minutes inside that place.
Now, he was losing his confidence in the military.
At least, with Hulk, they could use their weapons. Against someone who could control time, how were they supposed to fight?
"Your mind is changing. Ahh, that's too sad news! I was hoping you would ask for your military support."
"After all....."
A dark and evil smile appeared on his face as Adam continued.
"My Lord never said I can not retaliate."
"You!"
Ross stood on his feet, holding the pointing a gun at Adam, but the nozzle of the gun slowly transformed back at him.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I was truly hoping you would call the military, Ross. I didn't even break your communication device just for that."
Adam shook his head with some disappointment. Then, he raised his head towards Ross with an evil smile and said.
"Guess what, Ross! I hate humans. You were correct. I am a mutant. I would love to kill those humans."
Hearing that, Banner and Ross gulped heavily. Banner was showing some signs of turning into Hulk.
Betty noticed this and shouted.
"Enough of this nonsense! I sold my soul. Are you going to stop Abomination or not?"
This instantly broke Adam's pressure.
He crossed his legs, stretched his back on the seat, and said.
"No!"
"What? You bastard!"
Betty angrily stood up from her seat, holding a knife as she approached him.
Adam waved his hands.
"Don't worry, someone will stop Abomination!"
This instantly paused her. Even Banner calmed down.
Adam turned towards Ross and said.
"As I said before, I am a mutant, and I hate humans more than anyone else. Unfortunately for me, my Lord is a benevolent Dimensional Lord."
"I have no choice but to follow the contract. So, I will be outsourcing this job to another one of my colleagues."
"You are a group?"
Ross asked as he narrowed his eyes.
"Ahh, yes, even my Lord realized if he only recruits mutants, they can indeed get contracts and souls, but they will also end all humans."
"This can not happen. My Lord needs souls. Humans will keep populating, producing more souls."
"So, he chose a few humans as heralds. I have already contacted him. He should be arriving very soon."
Just as he said that, they heard a loud noise. After a while, the walkie-talkie on Ross's collar started buzzing
Ross clicked it, and another soldier started shouting from the device.
"General, something incredible happened! A man covered in golden clothes appeared. He is fighting the Hulk."
