Part 7/9:
As the fight with Iron Man escalates, it becomes clear to both parties that Hulk does not want to wreak havoc. Stark eventually realizes the error of his ways: he acknowledges that the Avengers might have unwittingly encouraged Galactus by suggesting Hulk as a sacrifice. This revelation further complicates Hulk’s emotional turmoil, as he grapples with being perceived as a monster when he wants to be a hero.
In this moment of clarity, Stark expresses remorse, suggesting that Hulk does not have to fulfill Galactus's wishes. Nevertheless, Bruce decides to leave, choosing to save the lives of those endangered by the destruction rather than accepting the role of a mere lackey to Galactus.
