After testing that Bruce still had a faint breath, she hurriedly took a syringe from her pocket and, with a click, plunged it directly into Bruce's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the injection was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very second Hearing Hearing Natasha pulled the needle out, Bruce, who had been keeping his eyes tightly shut, abruptly opened them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce Banner sat up abruptly from the ground, his face full of terror, his mouth wide open as he gasped for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha, who was watching Bruce come back to life from the side, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce's breathing gradually steadied, and his terrified expression slowly began to soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha helped Bruce to the riverbank and sat him down under a tree that had snapped two-thirds of the way up. Only after Bruce leaned against the tree to rest did she begin to question him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce did not speak, his brows furrowed tightly as if he were struggling to recall something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha did not urge him; she simply waited for Bruce's memory to return while seemingly thinking of something herself, subconsciously touching the back of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, she recalled once more the pair of eyes she had seen when she fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a pair of perfect fan-pattern eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce, his brows still furrowed, looked down at his own arms. After squeezing them hard, he seemed to confirm something. He looked up at Hearing Hearing Natasha, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, \"The Hulk is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha snapped back to reality, subconsciously widening her eyes as she looked at Bruce, as if she hadn't heard clearly or perhaps couldn't quite believe the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Hulk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hulk is dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce Banner repeated, recalling the residual memory images in his mind: \"He dragged the Hulk to the bottom of the Culver Culver Lake. The Hulk couldn't break free and was forcefully suppressed at the bottom. He seemed not to need to breathe; he just killed the Hulk at the bottom of the Culver Culver Lake like that. But... he chose not to kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone had an indescribable quality, and he even felt a strange sensation toward this murderer who had killed the Hulk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to put it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hatred?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no one hated the Hulk more than he did himself. Although after the Battle of New York, he and the Hulk had chosen to reconcile and he could be considered able to freely control his transformation into the Hulk, this did not mean he had completely accepted the Hulk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's put it this way: if he had a choice, he would still hope he could never turn into the Hulk again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Hulk had destroyed everything he originally possessed, caused him to leave his girlfriend, and forced him to hide in Bharat, where even the air was toxic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, his dream had come true; someone had actually helped him kill the Hulk inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So from this perspective, Bruce was too grateful to even think about hating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of gratitude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce Banner frowned slightly, feeling a strange sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't quite explain what this feeling was right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hulk is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killed by that guy named Hawk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am very sure of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruce took a deep breath. Under Hearing Hearing Natasha's gaze, he clenched his fists, but he could no longer feel the palpitations that used to arise when he was about to transform into the Hulk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if he felt he had lost something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hearing Natasha also fell into silence upon hearing Bruce's confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, a sharp ringtone from a phone sounded from the grass not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>",813,"2026-06-18T05:22:53.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1563cf866e9062df8d8edb8108996f145bfec63eceb469c2f29075d24dd5d93d","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-134","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-132",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-cover.jpeg"]
