"Boom!"
A deafening crash rang out!
Wreathed in flames that filled the sky, Human Torch flew up before Thanos.
"Not bad speed."
Thanos's expression was icy as he swung a heavy backhand punch!
Refusing to back down, Human Torch met it with his blazing fist!
"Bam!"
Human Torch felt a terrifying force like a collapsing mountain blast him backward!
Every load-bearing pillar in his path burst and shattered.
"Rumble!"
The entire building groaned under the strain.
"I'll deal with you first."
With that, Thanos flickered, instantly appearing above Human Torch as he was still flying backward.
"When did he?!"
Human Torch was shaken to his core. What kind of outrageous speed was this???
Without wasting a word, Thanos punched straight down at Human Torch's head!
Just as Human Torch thought he was about to die.
"Block it!"
Storm King's voice rang out from afar.
Immediately afterward.
"Clang!"
A red-and-silver shield hurtled over, covering Human Torch's body.
"Clang!"
Thanos's punch slammed into the shield with a clear metallic ring, actually failing to breach its defenses immediately!
"The Vibranium Shield?"
Thanos recognized Captain Britain's shield.
Human Torch grabbed the Vibranium Shield and quickly escaped Thanos's attack range.
"Whew, made it just in time."
Storm King breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks, brother. He nearly killed me with one punch."
Clutching the Vibranium Shield, Human Torch looked at Thanos with lingering fear.
"Thanos, what exactly happened to you?" Storm King demanded.
"If I told you that you were all just part of my dream, would you believe me?" Thanos asked in return.
"A dream?"
Human Torch frowned.
"That's right. None of you exist in the Reality Dimension. You're fictional characters in a dream conjured out of thin air."
As he spoke, Thanos glanced at the three headless corpses on the ground and sneered.
