Over the past six months, he had never given up on designing the gene suppressor.

He had revised his blueprints over and over in his notebook, finally reaching version 82, which he believed had no more mistakes.

All that was left was the final production stage, and then he could wear the life-saving gene suppressor again.

But the final production stage was giving him a hard time.

In the lab, Soren created one failed inhibitor after another.

Every time he thought he was about to succeed, something would go wrong at the last moment.

Either the gene suppressor would start smoking, shut down after briefly working, or simply fail to start at all.

He couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong.

He was using the most advanced nanomaterials, and Stark's lab had the most precise equipment in the world.

But despite everything, he just couldn't create a working inhibitor.

Each morning, Soren arrived at Stark Tower right on time.

In the afternoons, he'd head downstairs to the café across the street, grab a coffee, and tweak his blueprints.

The design had now reached version 99.

Inside the cozy café one afternoon, a soft French chanson played in the background.

Outside the window, people passed by looking relaxed and carefree, but Soren sat by the glass, feeling overwhelmed.

He scratched at his blond curls with the pencil scribbling in his notebook.

Suddenly, a loud bang exploded in his ears.

The pencil left a long black streak across the notebook.

The loud explosion caused a ringing in Soren's ears, and for a moment, his head throbbed with intense pain.

Suddenly, sirens blared everywhere, mixed with the sounds of people screaming, tires screeching, and the sharp crash of breaking glass.

Soren looked up toward the noise and saw a massive green creature rampaging between the skyscrapers, smashing the surfaces of buildings and throwing everything in its grasp at the surrounding police cars.

Soren quickly stuffed his notebook into his bag, his face turned serious as he stood up.

He pressed his hand against the café window as he watching the glass crack like a spiderweb from the shaking of the buildings.

Without thinking, he ran out of the café.

The street was already in chaos.

Private cars, taxis, and buses were all desperately trying to flee.

Vendors' carts, newspaper stands, and outdoor seating were knocked over by panicking pedestrians, leaving debris scattered everywhere.

Shredded newspaper pages flew through the air, and a pile of fresh carnations outside a nearby flower shop was trampled underfoot, petals crushed into the pavement.

Fear and panic were etched on everyone's faces as they being pushed and shoved while they were trying to escape through the crowded streets.

Some tripped or fell, creating more obstacles, making the situation even more chaotic.

In the distance, the green creature had destroyed the decorative facade of an entire building.

With a deafening roar, it leaped onto another skyscraper, now much closer to Soren.

Soren gazed at the green monster, realizing it wasn't just a monster.

He knew better than anyone that, before his emotions took over, this giant was once a gentle and intelligent professor.

...Dr. Banner.

Bruce Banner had once been a brilliant physicist, but an accident with gamma radiation turned him into the Hulk.

Whenever Banner got angry, he transformed into the monstrous green Hulk, losing control of his body, leaving destruction in his wake as the other side of his personality took over.

The chaotic scene in front of him left no time to think.

Soren ran against the crowd, darting into a deserted alleyway beneath the building.

"Angemon, digivolve!"

In a flash of white light, six brilliant, glowing wings spread wide.

As the last bit of light faded from his pure white boots, the golden-haired Angemon appeared, holding his staff like a divine messenger from the heavens.

Soren shot into the sky.

His wings flapping powerfully, and without hesitation, he flew straight toward the Hulk!

The white figure rapidly approached the rampaging green giant.

His six wings flapped, creating a rushing sound in the air.

Soren hovered near the Hulk, who was tearing steel beams from the side of the building, ready to hurl them down.

Just as the Hulk lifted one, a pair of strong white arms grabbed him and stopping him in his tracks!

The Hulk's fierce, green eyes glared at the glowing white form of Angemon.

"Dr. Banner, don't let your anger defeat you," Soren spoke calmly from behind his silver helmet, his soft pink lips firm with resolve.

But hearing that name only made the Hulk angrier.

"HULK SMASH!" the giant roared, his powerful shout shaking the air.

His muscles bulged, veins pulsing, and his fists that was larger than basketballs, swung free from Angemon's grip.

He turned around and threw a punch directly at Soren!

Soren flapped his wings and dodge the attack quickly.

Just as he raised his staff to block the next incoming blow, an arrow that was sliced through the air with incredible speed, striking the Hulk's left fist mid-swing.

Soren turned his head, looking toward where the arrow had been shot from.

On the rooftop of a building closely aligned with the one to the right, a strong man in black clothing and short hair was squinting his eyes while aiming his bow at the Hulk.

At the same time, the bullets whizzed through the air behind him.

He dodged, narrowly avoiding a burst of gunfire that skimmed past his wings and struck the enraged Hulk's back.

The Hulk roared in pain, throwing his head back and spreading his arms wide, his anger reaching a new level: "HULK!!!!"

His eyes turned bloodshot, his muscles bulged even more, and the remaining scraps of cloth on his body ripped away, exposing his monstrous form.

The sound of wind rushing was deafening as Soren moved away from the Hulk by a few feet.

A stunning red-haired woman in a black tactical suit leaped out of a window of the building, grabbed a steel cable, and used it to swing into the air, kicking off the window ledge the Hulk had torn apart.
