The smoke from the explosions was swept away by the fierce winds across the plains, leaving the land in ruins.
Cratered ground, scorched earth, and wails of pain intertwined into an apocalyptic scene.
Not a single Vought hero remained standing amid the wreckage.
Tony's armor had shattered into countless scraps of twisted metal. Rogers lay limp on the ground, the paint on his Vibranium shield completely worn away as it had been smashed deep into the rock.
Even the berserk green beast, Hulk, had exhausted his rage under the successive heavy blows. His massive body shrank, reverting to Bruce Banner.
"Is this your last hope?"
Homelander looked around at the fallen heroes and sneered.
"Pathetic."
"Now that the game is over, are you ready to welcome your destruction?"
No one spoke in the global livestream. A tide of despair washed over every heart.
"BOOM—!!!"
A deafening thunderclap suddenly exploded above the cloudless desert, drawing the eyes of viewers around the world back to the scene.
The once-clear sky was swiftly covered by thick, heavy storm clouds.
Within the dark clouds, countless thick bolts of lightning writhed like mad serpents, releasing soul-shaking rumbles.
Homelander frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.
"Hm?"
In the distance, arcs of electricity surrounded the unconscious Thor as his body slowly rose from the ground.
His eyes snapped open, blazing with dazzling, searing lightning!
A massive pillar of lightning descended from the heavens and pierced through his body. Thor bathed in endless lightning like a Celestial descending upon the world!
"What kind of god did you say I was?"
Thor's voice rolled like heavenly thunder across the wasteland.
He spread his hands, and lightning from across the sky gathered in his palms.
"I am Thor, the god of thunder!!!"
With a world-shaking roar.
Boundless lightning
