American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

331. We Have a Hulk!

Congo Plains.

Thick smoke filled the air, the choking stench of battle spreading across the swampy plains. Countless Parademon corpses lay piled up in the swamp. These weren't the first, nor would they be the last. Above, Parademon bodies continued to fall from the sky, crashing into the ground and splashing mud everywhere.

This war had only lasted about ten minutes, yet its intensity was astonishing.

As the emissary of the Parliament of Trees and the representative of the Green, Swamp Thing slowly emerged from the swamp, watching the battlefield in awe. Originally, he had felt satisfaction at seeing humanity slaughtered—after all, as the god of nature, he harbored a grudge against those who destroyed the natural world, even though he himself had once been human. Thus, when Apokolips invaded Earth and began the mass killing of humans, he didn't intervene.

But he had clearly overlooked one detail: Darkseid's Apokoliptian engines were draining Earth's core, causing far greater damage to nature than anything humans had done.

"These...'people'...they're all energy beings?"

Staring at the humans fighting Parademons, Swamp Thing's eyes widened in surprise. His somewhat foggy mind struggled to process this information.

He couldn't imagine that anyone on Earth could wield such powerful magic. Meanwhile, the battle on the ground was reaching its peak.

Flames rose high, explosions sounded endlessly, bullets and spells filled the air, enveloping the swampy plains. The defensive line the Parademons had painstakingly set up was steadily being eroded.

Captain America led the charge, speeding through on a motorcycle. Behind him, Black Widow and Hawkeye drove an off-road vehicle, while the Hulk broke through the front lines alongside them, securing a firm hold on the ground advantage.

"Feels like Budapest all over again," Black Widow muttered, gripping the steering wheel. The uneven ground made it hard to drive the off-road vehicle, forcing her to steer carefully to avoid getting the tires stuck in the mud. Even so, she couldn't help but joke despite the hardship.

"Clearly…" Hawkeye responded, firing an arrow that hit a Parademon in the head mid-air. "We have very different memories of Budapest."

Before Black Widow could reply, Tony Stark's familiar voice came through their earpieces.

"Hate to interrupt, Romeo, but aren't you guys wondering why we're here?"

"I just remember we're here to destroy that giant…engine, to save Earth or something. Isn't that what we've always aimed to do? What's the problem?" Hawkeye replied while continuing his attack.

"You're right, but Friday can't connect to my main system. All my suits are offline except for the one I'm wearing!" Stark shouted.

"Maybe you're out of signal range?" Black Widow teased.

"Are you kidding me?" Stark scoffed, but he quickly caught on. "Although…you might be onto something. Maybe the engine is interfering with Friday's signal."

With that, Stark accelerated, becoming a streak of light as he flew straight toward the Apokoliptian engine.

"I think one 'Eiffel Tower' on Earth is enough. Thor, cover me."

As Iron Man's voice faded, dark clouds gathered in the sky. The Parademons looked up, clearly uneasy; their simple minds sensed a destructive force building.

"For Asgard!"

In the clouds above, lightning crackled. Soon, a blond man wielding a thunder-wrapped hammer appeared in the sky. Thick bolts of lightning rained down, tearing through the Parademon army with merciless power. These creatures, barely stronger than ordinary humans, stood no chance against the force of the storm. Wherever the lightning struck, Parademons fell, charred and lifeless.

Amidst the thunder, Iron Man darted forward like a seabird in a storm, surrounded by streaks of lightning that failed to touch him. At full speed, Stark soon reached the Apokolips engine.

(Something is approaching, sir)

Just as Stark raised his arm to deliver a powerful blast, Friday's warning sounded. Before he could react, a massive force hit him, sending him flying backward.

"Shit!"

On the ground, Captain America instinctively responded, "Watch your language."

Then he looked up, seeing Stark regaining his balance after being blasted a fair distance. "Friday, what's going on?"

(I've detected an energy surge. It appears to be a type of long-distance teleportation technology created with highly advanced scientific data. Stronger entities are being transported in)

As Iron Man's AI assistant and battlefield guide, Friday was calculating rapidly.

(This technology is far beyond anything Hydra ever used. It's likely not from Earth)

"Not hard to guess," Thor interjected, "I've never encountered such strange creatures in any of the Nine Realms. They seem to have been created purely for war. This isn't something Earth would naturally have—dark elves aren't even this corrupted."

"Can't say I've ever seen a dark elf," Black Widow added, glancing at the booming portals opening above. "What's our plan? Those big guys won't go down easily."

From the backseat, Hawkeye observed the scene. "Looks like our ambush just made these monsters really mad. Now they're getting serious."

"Hold on," Stark tilted his head. "Seriously, none of you are going to comment on Cap telling us to 'watch our language'?"

"…"

Captain America sighed, shaking his head. "Fine, I misspoke. Stay safe, Tony—those guys are coming down."

"Then you be careful, too."

Iron Man responded, firing a repulsor blast at one of the Doomsday-like creatures' faces. But this time, the normally reliable repulsor blast barely made the creature's head tilt—it didn't seem hurt at all.

"Oh no…"

Realizing this, Stark turned and darted away without hesitation. In the next instant, several beams of heat vision scorched through his previous location, their terrifying force even distorting the air around them.

"These big guys are different from what I expected. Be careful, Cap. They're nothing like the small fry; these creatures have far more destructive power."

"I see that, Tony. Lead them away, and we'll try to keep them grounded."

Captain America saw it too and knew that he, along with Black Widow and the others, didn't stand a chance against these creatures. He quickly turned to his team. "Let's focus on containment. We'll handle the smaller creatures; those big ones are not our target."

"What if they decide to come after us?"

Hawkeye looked at a massive Paradoom charging straight toward them, unsure where to aim his arrow.

"Just stick to what we can handle. Besides…"

Captain America paused, then smiled.

"We have a Hulk!"
