Chapter 255 Sand Arms, Sand Walls
Chapter 255 Sand Arms, Sand Walls
This is a skill that Du Mu acquired before, but he hasn't had many opportunities to use it.
After all, it's not easy to find a pile of sand in the city.
But now, the situation is completely different.
The beach beneath my feet is a vast expanse of sand as far as the eye can see.
It was like a home ground tailor-made for him.
At this very moment, a sand giant several stories high stood on the beach, looking down at the people below.
The shadow cast by that enormous body covered a large area of the beach. Its legs alone were taller than the Hulkbuster armor, and a powerful sense of oppression was overwhelming.
Even the Hulk, who is known for his size, can only be called a dwarf giant in front of it.
Tony was immediately dumbfounded: "What the hell is this thing?"
Since becoming Iron Man, he has seen many outrageous things, but most of them can be explained by science.
But can anyone tell me how to explain this thing?
Unlike the stunned Tony, Hulk looked up at the sand giant who was several times his own size, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a burning rage.
Hulk: (°皿°)
The Sand Giant: (..)
"roar!!"
Hulk pounded his chest, his roar shaking the air.
The next moment, it bent its legs and pushed down hard, causing the sand beneath its feet to collapse.
The green figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, heading straight for the face of the Sand Giant.
However, the sand giant, though seemingly clumsy, moves with extraordinary speed.
The giant arm formed from quicksand suddenly rose up, its five fingers abruptly opening, accompanied by a whistling sound as it grabbed Hulk, who had leaped into the air, and pulled him into its palm.
Before it could break free, the sand giant swung its arm and slammed it down onto the ground with the force of a collapsing mountain!
Boom!!
The loud noise, accompanied by the tremor of the earth, slammed Hulk into the beach.
A radial sand pit several meters in diameter suddenly exploded, hurling up countless grains of white sand that rained down in a torrent. Standing atop the sand giant, Du Mu knew that this damage was far from enough to bring down the massive green creature.
Without pausing, with a slight thought, the Sand Giant raised its enormous fist and slammed it down again, aiming at the center of the sand pit! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying bombardments rang out one after another, shaking the beach as if an earthquake had struck, sending white sand flying everywhere.
The sandpit sank deeper and deeper under the violent pounding, and in the blink of an eye, the green below was no longer visible; Hulk had clearly been pushed deep into the sand. Just then, a muffled roar suddenly came from the depths of the sandpit.
Immediately afterwards, the entire bottom of the pit arched upwards, and a green shadow burst out of the sand, leaping into the air once again!
Hulk was covered in sand, looking like a green glutinous rice ball coated in powdered sugar, except for his terrifyingly green eyes.
Using its momentum, it slammed its fists into the sand giant's arm, instantly creating a cloud of sand mist. Half of the thick arm was blasted off on the spot, and sand gushed down.
Hulk didn't stop. He landed on the Sand Giant and climbed upwards using both hands and feet, rushing towards Du Mu at an extremely fast speed.
Despite Hulk's constant roaring, he's not just a wild beast; he's got some intelligence.
Although most of that intelligence was used to tell it to use its invincible super power.
It could see clearly that Du Mu was controlling the big guy in front of it, and all it had to do was beat the little guy on top of him down.
Du Mu maintained his posture, coldly watching Hulk, keeping his aloof demeanor.
Then, he uttered a soft remark.
"Sand arm!"
Don't get me wrong, this isn't an insult.
As Du Mu finished speaking, the sand on the Sand Giant's body suddenly boiled, and countless sand arms shot out from all parts of its body, grabbing at Hulk relentlessly.
Hulk's incredibly powerful forward momentum faltered instantly.
"roar!"
Hulk roared, his muscles bulging, unleashing a terrifying burst of brute force that snapped off the first wave of sand arms that had entangled him, sending sand flying everywhere. But there were simply too many of these sand arms.
One is torn off, and two more immediately swarm in. It breaks, then it's patched up, patched up, then wrapped up again, layer upon layer, endlessly.
Finally, Hulk was tightly bound by countless writhing sand arms, stopping just meters from Du Mu's feet, unable to break free. "Let him go down and calm down first."
With a wave of his hand, Du Mu severed the connection between the sand arms that were wrapped around Hulk and the Sand Giant.
Having lost its support, Hulk, now wrapped in a sand ball, was pulled down by gravity and crashed heavily onto the beach below.
At the same time, the surrounding sand grains seemed to be drawn by something, rushing rapidly towards the severed arm of the sand giant, and in the blink of an eye, they reformed into a complete arm.
Unlike Tony's Hulkbuster armor, which requires Veronica to transport spare parts from near orbit when damaged, the Sand Giant isn't here on a beach. Sand can be replenished at any time, and sand itself can reformate even when scattered. As long as Du Mu's mana isn't depleted, the Sand Giant can continuously regenerate, so it's not afraid of being drained.
Hulk shook his head, climbed back out of the sandpit, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.
Its body swelled up as if inflated, and its tendons bulged as if they were about to burst.
This is Hulk's most annoying passive skill.
The angrier one is, the stronger one becomes; the upper limit is currently unknown.
Under Du Mu's relentless beating, Hulk's rage level spiked, triggering his passive skill.
"What a cheater."
Du Mu couldn't help but make a comment.
He's fought the Hulk before; he even defeated the Hulk from a parallel universe.
However, those battles either didn't give Hulk enough time to build up his rage, or the effect was weakened, at most a little stronger than normal.
This is the first time Du Mu has ever faced a Hulk whose anger level has exploded like this.
"roar!!!"
After Hulk's fighting power increased, his voice became even louder.
The roar created ripples that were visible to the naked eye, causing the parasols on the beach to tilt and sway.
Citizens watching from a distance covered their ears, feeling as if their earwax was about to be shaken out.
But they didn't leave; instead, they looked excited and agitated, refusing to leave even when the police tried to drive them away.
"So exciting! It's a rare treat to witness superpowered individuals in battle!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"To see something like this, even dying would be worth the ticket price!"
Tony:
Why do these Florida residents seem even more outrageous than supervillains?
He quickly called Jarvis to bring a batch of robots from the Avengers Tower.
Those robots were just something Tony tinkered with when he had nothing better to do. Their performance couldn't compare to a proper Iron Man suit, and their combat power was practically zero. However, they were equipped with a relatively low-level AI system, which was perfect for tasks like search and rescue and maintaining order.
He didn't want dozens of heads to suddenly appear on Du Mu and Hulk's bodies while they were fighting.
Du Mu picked at his ear and said to Hulk with disdain, "Why are you yelling so loudly! Take this Heavenly Crippled Kick!"
The Sand Giant below responded to the call, raising its long legs several meters high, and the shadow of its huge feet instantly enveloped the Hulk below.
"roar!"
Hulk roared, gathered his strength in his feet, and leaped up, smashing the sand giant's foot.
Tian Can stepped on a nail!
Hulk's momentum showed no signs of waning, and in the blink of an eye, he traversed several meters of vertical distance, hurtling towards Du Mu atop the Sand Giant's head with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
"Sand wall!"
Don't get me wrong, this isn't an insult.
Du Mu raised his hand, and the sand surged wildly, instantly forming several thick sand walls that rose from the ground, layer upon layer, blocking him and the Hulk. A dog's head was even carved at the top of the walls, a clear sign of mockery.
puff!puff!puff!
Hulk charged wildly, unstoppable, his fists pounding the sand walls to shreds, scattering them into a cloud of dust.
Until the last sand wall was breached, Hulk roared and raised his fist, smashing it down on Du Mu's head.
The enormous green fist rapidly magnified in Du Mu's vision, the force of the punch pressing down on his face, even blowing the hair on his forehead backward. Du Mu neither dodged nor evaded, instantly covering his hands with a pair of metal gauntlets, and went straight to meet it.
Bang! !
Their fists collided violently, producing a deafening roar.
A circular shockwave suddenly exploded between Du Mu and Hulk, spreading outwards in all directions.
A moment of bewilderment flashed across Hulk's ferocious face, as if he hadn't expected this little guy to be able to block his fist.
After a brief moment of shock, he was instantly overwhelmed by a surge of anger.
It roared and swung its fists wildly, attacking Du Mu with both hands and without any strategy, smashing him repeatedly.
Du Mu didn't retreat an inch, and took the punch head-on!
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
A series of loud impacts rang out, and waves of air surged between the two men.
Two figures, one tall and one short, clashed head-on amidst the swirling sand and dust, embodying the aesthetics of violence in the most primal way.
Despite Hulk's immense strength, most of the impact was absorbed by the metal gauntlets' special material the moment they struck. After exchanging dozens of punches, Du Mu remained as steady as a mountain, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.
"Wow, this guy is that strong?"
Tony, who had been watching from mid-air, couldn't help but take a breath.
Aside from Thor, this was the first time he had ever seen anyone who could physically go toe-to-toe with the Hulk without being at a disadvantage.
In the current situation, Tony, like other citizens, has become a spectator watching the show.
It's not that he doesn't want to get involved, it's that he simply can't.
Most firepower is like a tickle to the Hulk; only pure numerical values like the Hulkbuster armor can contend with him. But now that even the Hulkbuster armor has been dismantled into parts, there's no need for him to wear the Mark 43 and try to scratch the Hulk.
"roar!"
Seeing that his invincible brute force was having no effect, Hulk became increasingly agitated.
Instead of smashing down, it opened its large hand and grabbed Du Mu's fist, pressing forward with its massive body, attempting to crush Du Mu with static force.
"As expected of Hulk, even his tactics are the same."
Du Mu had fought against the Wasteland Hulk and had anticipated this.
Without saying a word, he aimed his free hand at the Hulk, and several orbs of light shot out and crashed into the Hulk's body.
Weakness, slow movement, poisoning, blood loss, dizziness...
Multiple debuffs stacked up instantly, causing Hulk's body to stiffen noticeably, and a brief moment of disorientation flashed in his eyes.
Seizing the opportunity, Du Mu grabbed Hulk's arm with his backhand, suddenly exerted force with his waist, and twisted his feet.
The next moment, Hulk's massive body was swung through the air, making a semi-circle, and slammed into the head of the Sand Giant.
boom!!
Sand flew everywhere, and a deep crater was smashed into the head of the sand giant.
Hulk shook his head, braced himself with his hands to get up, but found that the sand beneath him had become unusually soft and started to swirl and flow, dragging him down like a small whirlpool.
Du Mu stood in front of it, looking down at it, and said cheerfully, "Hongwen, go take a bath to calm down."
"Waaah!"
The moment Hulk opened his mouth to roar, his mouth was instantly filled with sand.
Its massive body was quickly swallowed up by the quicksand, the whirlpool spun faster and faster, the white sand churned, and it sank deeper and deeper.
Hulk tried to struggle, using his hands and feet to try and pry open the sand, but the surrounding sand was like flowing water, leaving him nowhere to get a foothold, giving him a frustrating feeling of sinking into the sea.
The more it struggles, the faster it sinks.
Within a few breaths, Hulk was completely engulfed in the sand vortex, looking as if he had been swallowed by the sand giant.
Beneath the shifting sands lies a completely different scene.
Hulk was enveloped in dense, flowing sand, surrounded by darkness and immense pressure.
It tried to arch upwards with brute force, but the sand kept dissipating as it moved, making it unable to find a solid foothold.
Even if Hulk is incredibly strong, he can't generate power out of thin air, let alone kick his right foot with his left.
Due to the intense struggle, the Hulk consumed oxygen rapidly. He instinctively tried to breathe, but only more coarse sand rushed in, directly blocking his nostrils and mouth, preventing any air from entering or leaving.
Hulk was furious about this.
So, in its anger, it became angry for a moment.
There was nothing that could be done; even with Hulk's immense strength, he was helpless in this situation.
The rage burning in its chest was gradually suppressed by the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen, and the strength of its struggle gradually weakened. The eyes that were burning with anger slowly lost their luster under the burial of the sand and gravel.
After an unknown amount of time, the bulging muscles beneath the green skin began to relax, and the massive body slowly contracted as if deflated.
puff!
Outside the quicksand, the sand giant's rear end suddenly loosened, and then, like squeezing toothpaste, something slowly came out and fell onto the soft sand.
This man was none other than Bruce Banner, who was wearing a pair of baggy shorts.
The mission "The Sun Sets" has been completed.
