Marvel: Hunter-Chapter 336: ’Help’ Game

At the same moment, Hulk’s fist also reached Blaine. Clearly, Hulk wasn’t the type to learn from a beating. Blaine bent down once more to dodge, then drove another punch into Hulk’s stomach, knocking him back again.

With his mind-reading ability activated, Blaine saw and memorized the thoughts and combat habits of both opponents. At the same time, under Hawkeye’s surveillance, their movements were effectively slowed in his perception, making it effortless to evade their attacks.

However, when facing the combined assault of the two of them, Blaine decided not to dodge anymore. Instead, he let their attacks land. Like a mountain rooted to the earth, Blaine stood perfectly still.

When their fists struck him, Blaine returned each blow in full. Although he was proficient in countless advanced Earth combat techniques, facing two brutes who relied solely on raw strength left him with no desire to show off.

The next scene was enough to completely overturn the audience’s understanding. No one could have imagined that in front of two Titans, such a small figure could not only hurl them into the air, but also stand his ground and trade blows head-on with the Titans and the supposedly invincible Hulk—punch for punch, without falling behind.

Even spectators with enhanced hearing could clearly hear the dull, continuous bang-bang-bang as Hulk and Chika’s fists hammered into Blaine’s body. It sounded less like flesh being struck and more like iron slamming against iron, as if Blaine were a living fortress.

While fighting the two of them, Blaine also kept track of Thor’s movements. Through Hawkeye, he could see straight through the walls and the crowd to Thor’s position.

At that moment, Thor was leading a few companions he had met during his imprisonment under Grandmaster. Together, they made their way toward the place where Loki was being held.

Thor leapt forward, smashed several arena guards to the ground, seized the key from them, and freed Loki.

Inside, Thor and Loki were preparing their next move. Outside, Blaine continued to pummel Hulk and Chika with ease. However, aside from Blaine, neither of the two giants looked good.

Especially Hulk—his face had turned an even deeper shade of green. This situation felt all too familiar to him. He had been trained like this before, forced into one-on-one exchanges where brute strength alone wasn’t enough.

The humiliation the two burly figures now faced was simple: when they struck Blaine, it was like punching an iron plate. Blaine felt nothing, while their own fists quickly turned red and swollen.

Of course, the truth was that Blaine did feel pain. After all, one of them was a Titan who specialized in pure strength, and the other was a mutant empowered by gamma radiation. With physiques like theirs, smashing an armored vehicle with a single punch wouldn’t be difficult.

Blaine knew that while his body was far stronger than an armored vehicle, it wasn’t so strong that he could feel absolutely nothing. It was just that, under the buffering of the Hunter suit and the Diamond Body, that sensation had been reduced to an extreme minimum.

Hulk and Chika couldn’t injure Blaine, but Blaine could knock them down again and again. After just dozens of exchanges, neither of them could hold on much longer. If Grandmaster hadn’t been watching from above, they probably would have already fled in disgrace.

While Blaine kept the two of them occupied to buy time, the other side of the plan was approaching its final stage.

"Loki, do you understand the plan?"

After rescuing Loki, Thor quickly explained everything to him.

"Huh?"

"Can I say your plan is terrible?"

It was obvious that Thor’s carefully thought-out plan was being mercilessly mocked by the God of Mischief.

"Oh, Falk Squid."

"Shut up."

"I don’t want to hear any nonsense."

"Just do exactly as I say."

Just as Loki was about to continue speaking, Thor snapped at him to shut his mouth. Thor knew all too well how sharp his brother’s tongue was, but he had spent a long time coming up with this plan—and had even gotten punched by a Bounty Hunter before finalizing it. There was no way he was changing it because of a few sarcastic remarks.

With the help of their companions clearing the guards along the way, Thor and Loki boarded the elevator and quickly arrived at the entrance to Grandmaster’s viewing platform.

"Hi, hi, Loki."

"Remember that game?"

"Let’s play ’Help’!"

After speaking, Thor looked at Loki with excitement, as if the game had stirred up memories from the past.

"Huh?"

Loki froze for a moment, still not quite understanding.

"The ’Help’ game!"

"No, I’m not playing—"

"Oh, come on."

"Come on, it’s your favorite!"

"It’s obviously disgusting..."

"Come on."

"Perfect. Works every time."

"No, it’s too embarrassing..."

"Do you have a better idea?"

"..."

"Then come on."

"Oh no, I won’t play the help game even if you kill me..."

The elevator doors opened, and Thor dragged Loki forward while shouting with an exaggeratedly mournful expression.

"Is anyone there?"

"Anyone at all, please save us!"

"Help my brother, he’s dying!"

"Help—help him!"

Thor yelled as he hauled Loki along.

...

Suddenly, before Grandmaster or anyone on the viewing platform could react, Thor flung Loki forward, smashing him straight into Grandmaster. Chaos instantly erupted across the platform. No one had expected the two brothers to storm in and cause such a scene.

Amid the confusion, Thor quietly swiped the remote control for the device regulating the electric shock collar around his neck, then hurriedly retreated.

Caught completely off guard, Grandmaster had no idea what had just happened. Thor came and went in a flash, leaving him confused about Thor’s intentions. Likewise, Grandmaster didn’t even realize when the controller had been taken from him.

"After them!"

"Catch them at once!"

"I’m furious!"

"You bastards!"

Seeing Loki knock several guards aside and flee as well, Grandmaster flew into a rage.

"Ha ha ha."

"So, Loki?"

"Pretty amazing, right?"

Outside, Thor proudly showed the controller to Loki.

"Awful."

"What a disgrace."

"I’m a god."

"Haha. I’m not the one who should be embarrassed."

Ignoring Loki’s complaints, Thor casually removed the electric shock device from his neck. He then instructed a few of his companions to release the remaining gladiators imprisoned by Grandmaster, preparing to create even greater chaos.

"Hey, hey."

"Aren’t you going to let me join in?"
