Chapter 112: The Return Of Oliver: part 2(chapter 111)
previously in chapter 110
The battle raged on, leveling city blocks with each exchange. Salva used his massive jaws to bite through the creature's limbs, his tail to crush its wings, and his claws to rip apart its flesh. But the eldritch being retaliated with equal ferocity, using its barbed tentacles to tear into Salva's flesh, its dark energy blasts to weaken him, and its immense strength to overpower him.
At one point, the creature revealed its fourth power: the ability to manipulate gravity. It increased the gravitational force around Salva, pinning him to the ground with crushing weight. Salva roared in defiance, his muscles straining as he fought to stand. With a tremendous effort, he broke free, leaping into the air and slamming down onto the creature with all his might.
The eldritch being howled in pain, but it was far from defeated. It used its final revealed power: regeneration. Its wounds began to heal almost instantly, the severed tentacles regrowing, the ripped flesh knitting back together. Salva realized he had to strike at its core, the source of its power.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With a fierce determination, Salva lunged at the creature, aiming for its central mass. The eldritch being countered with a devastating swipe of its tentacle, sending Salva crashing through another city block. Buildings crumbled, and the ground split apart as the two titans clashed. Salva, undeterred, got back on his feet and charged once more.
Using his incredible strength, Salva tore through the creature's defenses, ripping apart tentacles and breaking through its dark energy barriers but the edlrtich creature pushed him off, sending flying back. The ground beneath them cracked and splintered with each blow, shockwaves rippling outward and reducing nearby buildings to rubble. The air hummed with raw energy, distorting reality itself as eldritch forces clashed with primal might.
The eldritch being roared, its many eyes burning with malevolent fury. It lashed out with a dozen tentacles, each one tipped with razor-sharp barbs that sliced through steel and concrete as if they were paper. Salva moved with surprising agility for his massive form, dodging and deflecting the attacks with his claws. Every swing of his tail created deep fissures in the ground, sending debris flying in all directions.
As the battle raged on, the creature unleashed a new barrage of dark energy blasts from its eyes, aiming to overwhelm Salva. The blasts struck with explosive force, carving out massive craters and sending shockwaves that flattened entire city blocks. Salva gritted his teeth, enduring the searing pain as he charged through the onslaught, determined to reach the creature's core.
With a powerful leap, Salva closed the distance, his claws glowing with a fierce light as he struck the creature's central mass. The impact sent a shockwave that shattered windows and toppled skyscrapers, reducing the surrounding area to a wasteland of twisted metal and broken concrete. The eldritch being screamed in agony, its form convulsing as Salva's claws tore into its flesh.
The eldritch horror retaliated with a sudden shift in gravity, its fourth power. The gravitational force around Salva intensified, pinning him to the ground with crushing weight. Buildings around them collapsed under the immense pressure, their structures unable to withstand the sudden increase in force. Salva roared in defiance, his muscles bulging as he fought to stand against the overwhelming pressure. With a tremendous effort, he broke free, leaping into the air and slamming down onto the creature with all his might.
The creature howled in pain, its form writhing as Salva's attack landed. But it was far from defeated. It used its regeneration power to heal the wounds almost instantly, its severed tentacles regrowing, the ripped flesh knitting back together in moments. Salva realized that he had to strike at its core, the source of its power, to defeat it.
The eldritch being roared again, unleashing a wave of gravitational force that sent Salva crashing through several city blocks. Buildings crumbled like sandcastles, and the ground split open, creating deep chasms that swallowed anything in their path. Salva, undeterred, got back on his feet and charged once more, his eyes burning with determination.
Using his incredible speed and strength, Salva dodged and weaved through the creature's attacks, aiming for its central mass. He tore through the dark energy barriers with sheer force, his claws leaving glowing trails in the air. The eldritch being lashed out with all its might, its tentacles flailing wildly, but Salva was relentless.
As Salva stood amidst the ruins, his body glowing with a fierce energy, he was about to consume the creature's core and evolve further. However, his triumph was short-lived. A small ball of reddish-purple energy struck him, and he felt himself disintegrating at the molecular level. His undying ability and regeneration fought to restore him, but the reddish-purple taint continued to destroy him from within.
"Fascinating, isn't it?" Arman's voice sounded, and Salva looked up to see Arman and Lilith floating down to his level.
"Absolute destruction," Arman said, smiling. "No matter how undying you are, no matter how fast you regenerate, you will always, eventually—" He appeared right in front of Salva, moving at incredible speed. With a powerful punch, he reverted Salva back to his human form, sending him flying back.
Salva was caught by someone. Looking up, he saw Wanda, her expression serious.
"You shouldn't be here," Salva said, coughing.
"I can't watch you suffer alone," Wanda replied. "I don't think Oliver would like that."
Another voice sounded, "We all wouldn't like that." Suddenly, numerous footsteps could be heard as several figures appeared. The Avengers, consisting of Captain America, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Ghost Rider, She-Hulk, Thor, the Phoenix host Echo, Namor, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange with his wife Clea Strange, arrived. The X-Men, including Cyclops, Rogue, Jean Grey, Synch, Storm, and Kitty Pryde, were also present. More heroes, such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, Elektra, and the Hulk, joined them.
Seeing this, Salva chuckled. "Well, this is embarrassing, but I'd be a fool to say no." He got up, stretching his hand. A whooshing sound was heard before the Eternal Flame placed itself onto his hand. Suddenly, the phantom image of a burning celestial, 100 feet tall, appeared behind Salva as the Eternal Flame burned brighter.
