"Then what are the Infinity Stones?" Dr. Banner asked after a moment of digestion.

Thor briefly explained to Dr. Banner what the Infinity Stones were, leaving Dr. Banner completely stunned.

"If Thanos is really like what you say, I think he should be able to kill Hulk. Hulk is indeed a monster on Earth, but he is the ruler of the universe!"

Dr. Banner then addressed the group.

"Putting everything else aside, if we just look at a simple and crude comparison of strength, Thanos does have that possibility." Tony Stark, who had been silent until now, spoke up at this moment, "But! I remembered something."

Before anyone could ask further questions, Tony Stark continued, "In Endgame, when Captain America assembled the 'Earth Alliance' to fight Thanos, the Hulk also joined the battle."

"So, Hulk died at Thanos's hands in that battle?" Thor's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.

“That possibility cannot be ruled out.” Tony Stark nodded. “When Hulk appeared, his right arm was bandaged; he was injured! He fought with an injury.”

"Hulk is injured?"

Dr. Banner was quite surprised to hear this, because Hulk has always had the ability to heal himself.

Even if it gets injured, it can heal itself.

Dr. Banner once attempted suicide, but he shot himself, creating a hole in himself, which instantly activated the Hulk.

Hulk used his powerful healing ability to expel the bullet and heal his wounds, without suffering even the slightest injury.

In the future, Hulk is even wearing bandages!

Even his self-healing ability is no longer working.

Dr. Banner really finds it hard to imagine who could have caused such harm to the Hulk.

"Hulk is fighting injured against Thanos's forces? Does that mean he's even more likely to die at Thanos's hands?"

Black Widow addressed everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.

However, this is only a possibility. Battles between two armies are a very complex matter, and without knowing the specific details, no one can be sure of the outcome.

We can only draw one conclusion that is most likely, and that's all.

"Then let's look at B, Loki?" Captain America then turned his gaze to Thor. "Thor, you know Loki best, and you also know about Hulk's strength. Do you think Loki can kill Hulk?"

"That's hard to say." After a moment of thought, Thor shook his head. "Hulk can withstand the lightning summoned by the hammer, so Loki's attack shouldn't be able to hurt him. However, Loki's magic is more powerful."

"Dr. Banner, can you withstand magical attacks?" Captain America then looked at Dr. Banner seriously again and asked.

"Captain, I need to make one thing clear first: Banner is Banner, and Hulk is Hulk. The question asks about Hulk, so they are different."

Dr. Banner first corrected Captain America's statement before saying, "I cannot give a definite answer as to whether Hulk was attacked by magic."

"However, I can tell you that Hulk's body is indestructible; bullets, shells, and other attacks cannot even penetrate Hulk's skin."

"Hulk's healing ability is also very strong. He can heal himself after being injured. So if you ask me if Hulk can withstand magical attacks, I can only say, it's possible!"

Not only Dr. Banner, but everyone present who knows anything about the Hulk so far has no information about any magical attacks targeting the Hulk.

Therefore, no one else can rule out option B, Loki.

"Let's put option B on hold for now, and then look at option C, Hank Pym, the first Ant-Man," Black Widow suggested.

"So Hank Pym is the first Ant-Man, and Scott Lang is the second Ant-Man?" Thor interjected.

"It could be the third generation, who knows? Anyway, it doesn't matter." Black Widow shrugged. "What matters is, does Ant-Man have the ability to kill Hulk?"

Ant-Man?

Dr. Banner looked at Tony Stark with a questioning gaze, as Tony was the only person he was somewhat familiar with at the scene.

Of course, Captain America and Dr. Banner had also heard of the other party's name, but the other party was, after all, from the previous era.

In addition, Tony Stark is also a scientist, so Dr. Banner subconsciously felt closer to Tony Stark.

"Someone as small as an ant?" Dr. Banner guessed incredulously.

“He’s someone who can freely change his size,” Tony Stark explained to Dr. Banner. “He can shrink himself to the size of an ant to fight, making him impossible to defend against.”

"However, although he has shrunk in size, his strength has not decreased, and he can even take down an excellent agent."

At this point, Tony Stark couldn't help but glance at Black Widow with a mocking look.

In footage related to the Civil War, Black Widow's opponent was Ant-Man, and she was knocked to the ground by Ant-Man after he shrunk.

Ant-Man's fighting style is completely unconventional, and if you encounter him for the first time, you might be caught off guard.

"A person becomes as big as an ant, but their strength doesn't decrease, which is equivalent to increased pressure! Impressive! It might be really difficult for an ordinary person to deal with, but I think the Hulk should have no problem."

Dr. Banner shook his head. "The Hulk can even stop bullets!"

When Ant-Man shrinks, the pressure increases, and his destructive power also increases dramatically, far exceeding the normal attacks of ordinary people. But how does it compare to bullets?

It's obvious that it can't compare.

"By the way, Ant-Man can not only shrink, he should also be able to grow very big!" Captain America added, reminding him.

"So Ant-Man can also transform into a giant?" Dr. Banner asked, somewhat surprised. "How big can he become? As big as a skyscraper?"

“We don’t know that,” Captain America shook his head. “We’ve never seen Ant-Man grow bigger; it’s just our speculation.”

“A very reasonable speculation.” Dr. Banner nodded after a moment’s thought.

He is a scientist, so he naturally possesses a certain level of logical analysis ability. Since he can shrink back to his original state, he should also be able to grow larger.

"So here's the question: if Ant-Man really turned into a giant, could he kill the Hulk?" Hawkeye asked seriously, arms crossed.

"I don't think so." Captain America shook his head. "Everyone has seen Hulk's speed; it's extremely fast, and his jumping ability is also amazing."

"Once Ant-Man grows to a gigantic size, his agility will be greatly reduced. I don't think he could kill the Hulk in that situation."

"Small size won't hurt Hulk, and big size won't hurt Hulk either, so Ant-Man can be ruled out?" Hawkeye shrugged.

“No, we’ve overlooked something. What if Ant-Man becomes extremely small?” Black Widow said with a serious expression.

"Stark, Ant-Man almost tore your armor apart!" Now it was Black Widow's turn to look at Tony Stark with a mocking expression.

This is also footage from the superhero civil war, where Ant-Man shrinks to a certain size and actually squeezes into Iron Man's armor through a gap!

"Your wording is too exaggerated. Let me correct you. I eliminated Ant-Man immediately, and he didn't affect me at all!"

Tony Stark first solemnly corrected Black Widow's "inappropriate" wording.

Captain America, who had also seen the footage, immediately realized: "What if Ant-Man was small enough to crawl inside Hulk?"

"For example, by following Hulk's ear and drilling into Hulk's brain?" Tony Stark added seriously from the side.

“That’s disgusting!” Dr. Banner clicked his tongue, but then nodded. “However, if we use this method, we might be able to kill the Hulk.”

"So our current analysis only rules out General Ross as an option?" Thor shrugged slightly.

“When this kind of problem arises, it’s because we’ve missed some crucial information that we could use to filter and judge,” Tony Stark said with great experience. “So, think carefully, have we overlooked anything?”

With Tony Stark's words, everyone's brains started working at lightning speed.

Some people try to connect all possible related information, while others stare intently at the question and ponder it.

“’Meticulously planned!’” Dr. Banner’s eyes lit up immediately as he grasped the key information in the question.

“That’s right!” Tony Stark nodded emphatically. He had also keenly grasped this point and was about to speak when Dr. Banner beat him to it.

“‘Killing’ and ‘planned killing’ are two different concepts!” Tony Stark interjected.

Dr. Banner and Tony Stark's words caught everyone's attention.

"Carefully planned" is indeed a selection criterion.

“If that’s the case, Thanos can also be ruled out,” Tony Stark continued his analysis.

"The Endgame war was not a war meticulously planned by Thanos to deal with the Hulk. I think everyone agrees on that, right?"

Of course, I have no objections.

Even if the Hulk is incredibly powerful, no one believes he could be that powerful.

The idea that a cosmic overlord would go to such lengths to plan an invasion of Earth, even using all six Infinity Stones, to eliminate him is simply outrageous.

"Since the Endgame wasn't Thanos's carefully planned attack on the Hulk, then he had no chance, because Thanos died at my hands in that battle!"

“Therefore, Thanos can be ruled out without a doubt!” Tony Stark concluded.

"For the same reason, Loki's invasion of New York was probably not a carefully planned attack specifically to deal with the Hulk."

Hawkeye Barton chimed in from the side.

“We already know Loki’s reason for invading New York, and it has nothing to do with the Hulk,” Thor explained to Hawkeye Barton.

"However, it is possible that this war has created some kind of unspeakable grudge between Loki and Hulk!"

"Perhaps, Hulk beat Loki to a pulp, making Loki hold a grudge! Or perhaps, Hulk killed someone important to Loki, or something like that."

"That's why Loki later meticulously planned an operation to kill Hulk!"

"The same applies to Hank Pym; Hulk may also end up on his death list for some reason in the future."

"He was thus killed in an operation meticulously planned by Hank Pym."

"The clues provided by these two sources are far too few for us to analyze."

Hawkeye Patton then continued speaking to everyone in a clear and organized manner.

“Dr. Banner, this question is about you, why don’t you answer it?” Tony Stark said to Dr. Banner.

"Shall I answer?" Dr. Banner looked everyone over and, seeing that no one objected, agreed after a moment's thought.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Dr. Banner said, then looked at everyone and asked, “Now we still have Loki and Hank Pym left to rule out, but is this Loki really the Loki from the myths and legends?”

“There are some discrepancies, but it’s generally correct.” Black Widow nodded. “Loki is indeed a god from Asgard.”

"So, gods really do exist in this world?" Hawkeye Barton asked, somewhat surprised.

On their way to Columbia, Black Widow and Captain America introduced Thor to his true identity, but Hawkeye Barton didn't quite believe it.

After all, if someone were truly a god, would they need the wings of Earth's technology to fly?

"If Loki is a god, then a god shouldn't be weak. If I had to choose between him and Hank Pym, I'd choose Loki."

After some deliberation, Dr. Banner made his choice.

He said his answer to the screen, "I choose B, Loki, the god of cunning and trickery."
