Chapter 339

"What? Kamar-Taj has already created a large teleportation portal? … How big? Can it be as big as the moon? … Alright, I get it, wait a moment."

Stark hung up the phone and said angrily, "Those wizards must have cut in front of us—they solved the supply transport issue first, making my research look painfully slow!"

Banner was still calmly writing data; Stark grew irritated just looking at him and said, "This is a race, understand? We can't lose to those magic users! I must prove to them that mechanical technology is humanity's best path forward!"

Banner yawned and said, "I've finished the section on the universality and utilization schemes of vibranium materials—the data analysis report on 69 usable alloys is right there, the utilization rate of Mercury's global magnetic field has been transmitted, and the geological survey report on the craters and structural reorganization is down to the final details…"

"Stark, if you've got time to complain, why don't you just finish your part of the exploration robot work? We're all waiting for you…"

The person beside him elbowed Banner's arm and whispered, "Don't pressure him too hard—he's only human, after all…"

With a swift "whoosh," the armor flew in through the window, smashed through the glass with a "crack," and instantly armored Stark.

Stark pulled down his faceplate and said to JARVIS, "Max out the life support system! I don't want to waste even a second on physiological needs from now on!"

"Limits? Stark was born to define limits!"

As he turned away, he flipped off the two men sitting at the lab bench.

Banner watched his retreating back and said hesitantly, "You told me to provoke him like this—could that be too much? He won't actually die from an all-nighter, will he?"

"Forget him. How are you feeling? Is the drug working?"

Banner turned back, sighed, and said, "In the time before I came here, I took the medication as prescribed, but the effect was minimal."

"Hulk is immune to all sedatives—I swallow the pill one second, and he emerges the next without any lag."

Shiler shook his head and said, "Your situation is extremely complicated—the gamma radiation enhanced your body, but the only thing capable of controlling this power is your other personality."

Banner sighed again—he'd clearly been troubled by this for a long time—and Shiler continued, "Last night, I went through all your medical records and psychological evaluation reports again. I've got a bit of inspiration now."

"The new therapy you mentioned before?"

"Exactly. I've brought in an expert who's exceptionally skilled in this area. If you're willing, we'll hold a consultation tonight—even if we can't solve the root problem, we might at least improve your condition."

"That would be perfect." Banner took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "I truly hope to end this miserable life soon—but he's like an unshakable demon, haunting me wherever I go, forcing me to constantly fear the destruction he might cause…"
