At the boundary between reality and the Spirit World, in a distorted space.
Tony Stark felt his mental energy being drained at an alarming rate.
His nanotech armor constantly transformed, with high-energy particle beams shooting from the cannons on his shoulders and back, blasting any approaching enemies to shreds. At the same time, his hands had to form complex hand seals, releasing Sword of Vishanti to slash at the " Demonic Phantoms " composed of pure negative energy.
"Fuck you!" Tony cursed as he attacked.
"Where did these bizarre things come from? They're endless! Is that genius girl's godfather some kind of dimensional lord?!"
Strange wasn't in much better shape; his dark circles were even more striking under the dazzling magical light.
He was panting heavily when he lashed out a Crimson Chains of Cyttorak, shattering a large number of shrieking spirits like a whip.
" Stark! If you don't give me five times the overtime pay this time, I'm never coming back next time!"
"Don't worry," Tony's voice came from inside the armor, devoid of any emotion, "Your girlfriend is still on Earth, and besides, the hospital you work at recently changed owners, didn't you know?"
Strange's hand froze for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and was so angry he almost mispronounced the spell.
"Fuck! You did this on purpose, Tony Stark!"
Just as Strange was about to have a serious argument with the capitalist, the entire sky of the Twisted Space was suddenly stained crimson.
A terrifying energy surge swept across the area, sending Soul Stone.
That crimson light was not just ordinary light, but pure, irrational Chaos Magic.
Wherever the light reached, those hideous, fearless Demonic Phantoms were like pieces of paper thrown into aqua regia; they were instantly erased, decomposed, and Oblivion before they could even utter a wail, leaving not a trace of negative energy behind.
In just a moment, the black torrent that had previously kept the two top heroes busy was swept away completely.
Tony and Strange stopped attacking simultaneously, staring blankly at the scene.
The crimson light slowly receded, and two figures descended from the sky.
Leading the group was Wanda Maximoff, dressed in a red Sorcerer Supreme robe and wearing a scarlet crown.
Behind her, the "enhanced" Thor they had been discussing not long ago was leisurely landing with his arms crossed.
" Tony," Thor's gaze swept past him, and he asked directly, "Have you seen Valeria?"
Tony paused, his armor visor snapping open to reveal his weary face. "She's at Avengers Tower, with Steve and the others. What happened?"
I need to speak with her about something.
Thor said something casually, and before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile, in the conference room on the top floor of Avengers Tower.
Achoo!
Valeria sneezed loudly without warning. She rubbed her nose, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
The sensation came quickly and was extremely intense, making the hairs on her body stand on end.
She glanced at the battlefield on the holographic screen that had been instantly cleared, then looked at the Avengers beside her who were intently watching the screen, a barely perceptible glint of decisiveness flashing in her blue eyes.
No, I have to get out of here!
She subtly raised her wrist, her fingers rapidly tapping on the wristwatch on her personal terminal, instantly activating a cross-dimensional teleportation protocol visible only to her.
However, just a second before the teleportation energy was about to envelop her.
A large hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her by the back of her neck by the collar with perfect precision, like grabbing a mischievous kitten.
The teleportation energy that was about to be activated was also directly cut off and suppressed by an even more domineering force, as if it had never existed.
"You little rascal, you've really got some nerve!" A familiar yet chilling voice rang out behind her, "You've even managed to sneak out?"
Valeria froze instantly. She turned her head with difficulty and, sure enough, saw that face with a hint of a mocking smile.
She immediately put on an innocent smile, " Thor, I didn't mean to."
Do you think I believe you or not?
Thor wasn't buying it at all. He reached out with his other hand and, with lightning speed, snatched the high-tech watch off her wrist. He also managed to remove the miniature computer disguised as a hair clip from her hair.
Everything related to technology was confiscated in an instant.
"Hey! Give it back!" Valeria protested frantically, struggling in his grasp. "I only did the beginning with Reed! Did you have to treat me like this, you bastard Thor!"
Thor almost laughed in anger upon hearing this.
He grabbed the girl by the scruff of her neck, pulled her in front of him, stared into her eyes, and said, "You know this is just the beginning? What if you succeed in this experiment?!"
Everyone else in the conference room was completely dumbfounded.
Captain America Steve Rogers, was the first to react. He stood up and asked in a steady voice, " Thor, what happened? What did Valeria do?"
All eyes turned to them.
Thor glanced at the still struggling brat and explained succinctly, "She wants to combine the powers of Doomsday and Amazo to create a monster that's unpredictably terrifying."
" Doomsday?"
" Amazo?"
Spider-Woman, Black Cat, Hawkeye, Falcon, Dr. Banner, Black Panther... most of the heroes present had a look of utter bewilderment on their faces.
These two names were completely unfamiliar words to them.
Only one person, Peter Parker, reacted as if struck by lightning the moment he heard those two names, and abruptly raised his hand.
"Wait! Wait!" His voice trembled with excitement. "Are you talking about the Justice League?! I know those two! I know!"
Steve looked at the suddenly excited young man and asked, " Peter, do you know what these two are?"
"Of course I know! I even followed their comics!" Peter Parker, as if seizing an opportunity to show off, launched into a long, enthusiastic explanation.
" Doomsday is a biological weapon. Every time it dies, it evolves based on the cause of its previous death, becoming even more powerful, and it cannot be killed twice in the same way! Amazo even more terrifying; it's a humanoid robot with abilities even more exaggerated Ultron's. It can copy and mimic the abilities of any Metahuman it comes into contact with!"
As Peter explained, the air in the meeting room gradually froze.
Each of the heroes present possessed abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.
They instantly understood what it meant for these two abilities to be combined.
A monster that can evolve Infinity, cannot be killed repeatedly, and can also Infinity copy any superpowers it encounters.
All eyes, filled with fear and disbelief, fell once again on the blonde girl being held by Thor.
Thor had no interest in letting them continue to process this Shocker news.
With a flick of his wrist, a portal shimmering with golden light opened beside him, leading to an apartment building on the other side.
He stripped Valeria of all the gadgets she might have used for escape or communication, tossed them aside, and then, like throwing a sack of potatoes, tossed the girl directly into the portal.
"No--! Thor! You dictator! You bastard--!"
At the other end of the portal, a black-haired figure wearing a black T-shirt caught Valeria steadily.
As the portal closed, everyone could still clearly hear Valeria's furious curses.
A deathly silence fell over the conference room.
Several seconds passed before Spider-Woman Jessica Drew approached Peter Parker, nudged him with her elbow, and whispered, "So... this is the... Thor you were talking about?"
Peter Parker nodded blankly.
Yes, that's Thor.
A Thor completely different from that Fat Thor —powerful, domineering, and ruthless in dealing with problems.
