After nightfall, as darkness descends on New York City, the lights flicker on and the stars twinkle in the slightly cool, pleasant breeze of late summer.
From the outside, the Pym Technologies building is shrouded in darkness. Inside, gunshots and explosions echo sporadically, occasionally accompanied by the faint sounds of human screams.
In the deserted courtyard outside the building, a tiny spark of fire suddenly ignites, quickly turning into a wheel that forms a magnificent and intricate circular portal.
A foot in high heels and black stockings steps out, followed by an exceptionally beautiful woman. Her features are sharp and delicate, with pale, flawless skin. Her long black hair flows softly in the wind as if she has just stepped out of a painting.
The woman raises her silver eyes and scans her surroundings. She stretches her consciousness slightly outward and says quietly, "Boss, they've already started."
"It's about time," Comes a calm, deep male voice as a silver-haired young man steps out of the fire portal.
His chiseled face may not be conventionally handsome, but it exudes a mature charm. Although he looks like an ordinary person, his every move carries an aura of power strong enough to disturb the air around him.
Kyle, having reached this level, has fully embraced the power of his godly bloodline. He no longer merely borrows the power through a card system but has completely embraced it.
Rather than calling him a god, perhaps "demigod" would be more appropriate, though he is the strongest of all demigods.
"Boss, should we intervene?" Raina asked playfully, blinking her eyes. Despite her mature and seductive demeanor, she only shows this girlish side in front of Kyle.
"No need. It's just Mysterio borrowing a fraction of the gem's power."
Kyle has no intention of taking action tonight. Mysterio, a villain who relies solely on projected hard light illusions, is not a serious threat, even with the enhanced power of an Infinity Stone. He's not even half the match of one of Thanos' top generals.
Besides, with Agent Venom, Ant-Man, and Spider-Man in the fray, it would be overkill for Kyle and Raina to join the fight.
"Let's just watch."
Sensing someone running into the courtyard, Kyle waves his left hand. The ring on his finger, imbued with a spell, activates, linked to the magic card he holds. The spell takes effect immediately.
A ripple with a sharp, glassy edge sweeps through the air. Kyle and Raina remain in the courtyard, but are now separated from the real courtyard by a dimension.
Two disheveled and injured security guards stumble out of the building, completely unaware of Kyle and Raina, who are standing just inside the doorway.
They are in the Mirror Dimension.
This is one of the best spells used by Earth's sorcerers to observe the real world and the main reason why they remain undetected by ordinary people. Even if someone knew of their existence and location, they could not be found.
"Let's go," Kyle says, leading the way into Pym Technologies. As soon as they enter the lobby, a wave of water rushes through, carrying two figures who are violently thrown against the inner wall of the lobby. Water splashes everywhere.
Kyle looks over and sees Spider-Man and Ant-Man, both drenched and lying against the wall, looking utterly defeated. With their masks on, their faces are obscured, giving them the appearance of two unfortunate comrades in misfortune.
Raina nearly bursts out laughing, covering her mouth and glancing at Kyle.
"They've got a lot of growing up to do," Kyle remarks, shaking his head. Both the young Spider-Man and the second-generation Ant-Man were thrust into action earlier than expected, a year or two ahead of the original timeline.
These two insect-themed heroes are the epitome of the "new" generation.
Boom!
In the lobby battle ahead, the one who really holds his own against the water and wind elementals is Agent Venom (aka Black Venom, the Lethal Protector), Eddie. He is the only one with multiple identities and numerous nicknames, a hero shrouded in darkness and mystery.
"Not bad, we might consider giving him a raise," Raina said with a smile.
"That's hardly good enough," Kyle shook his head, squinting as he watched Agent Venom battle the Water and Wind Elementals. "Venom, whether in talent or potential, far surpasses Venom. But now, he can't even defeat two elemental monsters created by the energy of the Reality Stone."
Even during World War II, when he was at the peak of his human abilities and working with a young Venom, Kyle probably could have easily defeated several of these elemental creatures.
"Boss, times have changed," Raina subtly reminded Kyle, suggesting that in this era of peace, they shouldn't be too harsh in their expectations of combat performance.
After all, unlike during the war, they weren't constantly on the brink of battle and bloodshed.
"I know," Kyle nodded slightly. The difference between the new generation of heroes and the old is mainly in combat experience. That's why, even though his strength and potential surpass Captain America's, the young Spider-Man's fighting skills still don't measure up to the Captain's.
"That pig... Pig-Man? Maybe we should get out of here?" Scott suggested to Peter as he leaned against the wall.
"It's Spider-Man," Peter corrected Scott, who was also struggling to get up. He said firmly, "No matter what, I have to fight! If I give up here, I'll never become a hero, and I'll let those two men down!"
He stretched out both hands and shot webs that stuck to the railing of the second floor. With several tons of superhuman strength, he pulled the entire metal railing down, crashing it onto the water elemental's head and giving Agent Venom a slight reprieve in their confrontation.
Peter wiped the water from his masked eyes and charged back into the fray.
"These days... even kids fight so hard. How can I back down?" Scott sighed helplessly. He wanted to run, but seeing Eddie and Peter choose to stay and fight made him abandon that thought.
For some reason, he felt a strong urge not to fall behind them. Besides, the enemy controlling these two monsters had targeted him several times. Even a clay man has some temperament, and if he could defeat this enemy here...
An idea flashed through Scott's mind. He looked ahead at Agent Venom and Spider-Man battling the Water and Wind Elementals and shouted, "These Elementals were all created by a man! Even if we defeat the elementals, it won't matter - we need to find the man behind this!"
"I'm tied up here," Eddie said, crossing his arms to block a blow from the water elemental, standing firm despite the force of the water.
"Karen, can you find him?" Peter swung high, using his web to dodge a blow from the Wind Elemental. He looked down and asked the AI integrated into his suit.
Karen quickly replied, "Below! There's a weak electromagnetic signal coming from a basement ten meters below the company."
Fortunately, the company's servers had been damaged by the rogue ants, making it easy to locate the suspected enemy's whereabouts with a quick scan.
"In the basement below... but I can't leave now..." Peter started to say, his voice trailing off as he was sucked back into the tornado created by the Wind Elemental.
"You guys hold on, I'll go!" Scott shouted, pressing a control button to shrink down to insect size, then leaped into a broken underground pipe.
"So they've finally found the key to victory," Kyle remarked with a faint smile, watching Agent Venom and Spider-Man fighting side by side. There was something oddly humorous about the sight.
