331. We Have a Hulk!

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.

"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!"
