Chapter 5: Grotesque! The Path To The Extraordinary!
Hulk is very big.
His body looks just like a short and fat half-height Ultraman.
Ian had thought that he might have “logged in” to a future day in the dreamscape, and he had also thought whether he had been affected by some magical curse, resulting in a fixed time-stage universe exile.
However.
He never imagined that this apocalyptic world was actually on the same level as the DC Universe he was in, and that he would see Hulk’s corpse in this world!
Yes, Hulk.
The famous American Comics character who grows bigger and greener when angry, claiming to have unlimited strength, such an existence shouldn’t appear in Ian’s second life.
“Oh, my father above… this isn’t my eyes playing tricks on me, is it!” Ian’s throat couldn’t help but move a few times, he only felt a surge of absurd emotions rushing straight to the top of his head.
Is this the Marvel Universe?
No!
At least not entirely the Marvel Universe!
Hulk’s huge body was like a small mountain, his skin showing an icy blue-green color, his muscles still bulging, and in the posture of his back on the ground, his hands were still kept raised high.
And it was the thing shaking between Hulk’s hands in the cold wind that made Ian’s emotions, already shocked by Hulk’s corpse, unable to fully recover even now.
Who wouldn’t find this bizarre?
Only to see.
Hulk, with a big hole in his chest, had his hands raised to the sky still maintaining a tight grip, and in his left hand was a head with golden hair.
The golden-haired head’s expression had wide-open eyes, the face full of unwillingness and anger, the veins on the neck and the torn skin clearly visible, all swaying in the wind like the golden hair.
And in Hulk’s other hand was the body part of this head. The muscular, burst-filled remnant body wore a deep blue uniform, with the stars and stripes representing America’s honor on the back.
Wasn’t it Homelander from Ian’s favorite TV series《The Boys》?
Hulk and Homelander?
Two completely mismatched characters, their corpses appeared so abruptly in front of Ian, Ian no longer wanted to think about what exactly happened, or what occurred between the two before they died that led to the world becoming like this now.
“I’m afraid I’m really just dreaming, and I can indeed learn and upgrade in the dream.”
Ian really felt it was too fantastical. To be honest, this was too insane! He now just wanted to find a reliable doctor to customize a few treatment packages for him.
Really.
Without taking a few pounds of medicine, Ian feared he couldn’t suppress his condition!
“Between me being a madman and this world having gone mad, which probability is greater? What a hard decision.” Ian couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander.
He slowly approached the green behemoth.
The ice and snow around Hulk had been smashed into a huge pit, Ian exerted great effort to touch Hulk’s skin, he was originally just curious about the feel of this creature’s corpse.
However.
As his hand touched the solidified green blood on the green person’s body.
The next moment.
The System’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.
【You have touched an unknown supernatural substance, a new profession template has been unlocked, you can obtain the profession by meeting the prerequisite conditions, you have obtained a corrected supernatural profession—『Berserker』】
As expected.
This System is becoming more and more like a game system.
After hearing his own System’s prompt, Ian was only stunned for a second, then he didn’t immediately check the so-called【Berserker】 profession acquisition conditions.
“What a wondrous bond I have with my father!” Ian’s gaze was fixed on Homelander, truly in a “quality-wall separation” corpse state, held high in mid-air by Hulk’s corpse.
He was like a skinny monkey on stimulants, using all his strength to climb onto Hulk’s chest, then planning to climb towards Homelander’s remnant body treating Hulk’s arm like a tree trunk.
It could only be said that a young person’s head turns fast, if Hulk’s blood could unlock a supernatural profession template, then Ian believed Homelander’s remnant body blood would certainly have the same effect!
【Berserker】 profession he wanted!
And the supernatural profession Homelander would bring, he also wanted!
Perhaps the supernatural profession from Homelander could even bring Ian closer to his family! Thinking of this, Ian became excited, his whole body seemed filled with adrenaline.
He struggled to cling to Hulk’s arm and climb up, climb.
“Splat~”
The downside of only studying and not fitness was revealed at this moment, due to ice crystals condensed on Hulk’s body, Ian’s strength could at most support him climbing up two or three meters.
Then he slid down as smoothly as if lying on a steel pipe coated with lubricant.
“I don’t believe it!”
Ian continued to climb.
“Splat~”
This time he fell before reaching three meters high.
“For Family!”
Ian charged and leaped again, scrambling up with hands and feet, but the shouting didn’t give him amazing strength, he only reached one-third of Hulk’s arm position.
“Splat~”
Still the familiar fall back.
This time Ian’s arm and leg muscles were squeezed to the limit.
Hurting badly.
Sitting on Hulk’s icy chest muscle, Ian’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and confusion, he felt this wasn’t scientific, he had already raised the Family flag high, how had he not burst with power yet?
“Sure enough! I still haven’t fully integrated into local life!” Somewhat helplessly, Ian shook his aching arm, somewhat reluctantly looking up at Homelander’s remnant body in the sky.
“Giving up isn’t escaping! It’s we’ll see tomorrow!” Ian was always very precise with time calculations, and sure enough, his bold words had just finished.
The next moment.
“Dong~~~~”
The first heavy bell sound exploded in his ears. That sound was like the echo of an ancient church, carrying some irresistible force, as if the entire world was distorting and dissolving in the bell sound.
Ian’s soul was trembling.
Uncontrollable fear and horror surged in his heart.
“Dong—Dong—”
The second and third sounds followed one after another, Ian’s vision immediately blurred.
Hulk’s corpse, Homelander’s ferocious head, the ice-sealed street—everything faded and collapsed in the bell sound, like being sucked into some invisible vortex.
“Pa!”
This was the sound of forehead kissing the desk.
Ian propped up his head.
Subconsciously looking at the Peach Butt Alarm Clock on the desk, that was the birthday gift Second Brother Jordan gave him last year, capable of making a terrifying sound like an old lady’s weird laugh.
【00:42】
As always.
The time pointed to the correct moment.
