There existed a planet called Anteverse.
Its skies were permanently buried beneath dark storm clouds.
The land was barren and lifeless, stripped down to endless layers of jagged rock without rivers, forests, or signs of natural vitality.
Even the atmosphere itself carried a sickly yellow tint.
And beneath those desolate stone formations lived a species known as the Precursors.
The Precursors were a colonizing race.
They survived by invading and consuming other worlds.
Masters of biochemical engineering, toxins, and hyperspace technology, they specialized in constructing wormholes capable of bridging planets across impossible distances.
Once a connection ford, they infiltrated worlds from within.
The Kaiju were their soldiers.
Living bio-weapons engineered directly from Precursor genetic material.
Earth was not their first target.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, during the Triassic Period, the Precursors had already established a wormhole linked to Earth.
But the invasion failed.
Back then, Earth's atmosphere contained oxygen concentrations too high for the Kaiju to survive properly.
The advance forces couldn't adapt.
Colonization collapsed before it ever truly began.
Now things were different.
Industrial civilization had polluted Earth's atmosphere, increasing carbon dioxide levels until the planet beca suitable for Kaiju deploynt.
And with Thanos issuing direct orders...
The Precursors invaded again.
"This place sohow looks worse than the moon," soone muttered.
A group of superheroes wearing sealed combat suits stood inside the alien world.
Courtesy of Drex Valen's very reluctant spatial gateway technology.
Because if there was one thing superheroes excelled at, it was teleporting directly into the enemy's headquarters and causing catastrophic property damage.
"That's because you haven't seen the moons from Tsukihi or Assassination Classroom," Drex's voice replied casually over comms.
The other heroes blinked.
"What does that even an?"
"Wait, there are multiple weird moons now?"
Nobody got an answer.
Because the Kaiju arrived.
The creatures surged toward the intruders in endless waves, completely fearless, driven entirely by hive-instinct aggression.
Fortunately, everyone had expected to be dropped directly into hostile territory.
Preparations had been extensive.
Otherwise, facing this many Kaiju simultaneously would have beco a nightmare.
"Stark's symbiote armor is absurdly good," one hero admitted while blasting apart a charging Kaiju.
Every hero present now wore upgraded silver-white symbiote combat armor developed by Tony Stark.
After confirming the assault plan and helping eliminate nine invading Kaiju on Earth, Tony had massively increased production of the liquid symbiote alloy.
That was the beauty of the technology.
The armor could form instantly around the user.
Now every hero marched through Anteverse inside five-ter combat suits.
Tony had even upgraded the systems further, making them significantly stronger than the original anti-Hulk armor models.
And leading the assault at the front...
Was Tony himself.
Inside a twenty-ter-tall heavy assault armor.
He was extrely pleased with the design.
Sure, even at twenty ters tall he was still shorter than most Kaiju.
But the oversized weapon systems attached to the suit carved through monsters effortlessly.
Without environntal restrictions to worry about, the battle felt less like war and more like industrial-scale monster slaughter.
Not all Kaiju were mindless disposable creatures, however.
Higher-tier specins possessed intelligence.
As they watched their kind being massacred, several Level 5 and Level 6 Kaiju retaliated imdiately.
Blue organs embedded inside their forelimbs unfolded outward.
Glowing tendril-like blades extended from the flesh like biological beam sabers and swept across the battlefield.
"Tch."
Sowhere amid the endless explosions and impacts, a faintly annoyed click of the tongue echoed out.
Then the sky exploded with gold.
Crimson lightning wrapped in blazing fire descended from above at impossible speed.
Before the Kaiju's energy blades could even finish swinging, the attack punched straight through the torso of a Level 6 Kaiju.
The remaining lightning columns continued onward, piercing countless monsters lined up behind it.
Then Drex detonated the energy remotely.
Thunder and fla erupted simultaneously from every wound.
But this was Anteverse.
The invaders' howorld.
And the one thing the Precursors would never lack...
Was Kaiju.
More monsters poured into the battlefield endlessly.
Drex stepped forward.
Fire exploded outward from his body.
Towering pillars of fla erupted skyward, staining the sickly yellow atmosphere blood red.
It looked like a god of fire had unleashed divine wrath upon the planet itself.
The Kaiju closest to the inferno scread as their flesh ignited instantly.
Then, from within the center of the firestorm...
A cry rang out.
Sharp.
Majestic.
Like the call of a mythical phoenix.
A colossal bird composed entirely of fla erged from the inferno.
Its wingspan stretched over a hundred ters, blotting out massive portions of the sky.
Then it descended.
The flaming phoenix dove directly toward the Precursor command region carrying enough force to shatter continents.
The impact was apocalyptic.
The earth collapsed beneath the strike.
The battlefield transford into sothing resembling a volcanic eruption zone as entire layers of rock shattered apart.
Cracks spread across the ground glowing with molten fire.
An instant later, pillars of fla erupted upward like exploding volcanoes.
It looked like the end of the world.
And it wasn't over yet.
Countless beams of light rained down afterward, triggering a second wave of destruction.
One Precursor's voice trembled.
"Tell that was a hallucination."
Another stared blankly at the devastation.
"That thing is even more dangerous than Ronan."
"And unfortunately... very real."
The attack's thermal energy alone was catastrophic.
But even without the heat, the initial impact force exceeded one hundred million tons.
Anything inside the strike zone that survived the temperature would have been pulped by shockwaves alone.
Fortunately for the Precursors, ergency spatial transit gates created by their technology allowed them to barely escape the center of the blast.
Even so, the heat alone nearly boiled the moisture from their bodies.
Burn marks spread across their exoskeletons.
"Have we contacted our allies yet?" one asked desperately.
Another answered grimly.
"Even if we have... it's already too late."
Then soone erged from the flas.
A humanoid figure wrapped in fire walked slowly through the burning wasteland.
Eventually the flas receded enough to reveal a young man.
Human.
Barehanded.
A faintly infuriating smile resting casually on his face.
The Precursors stared at him in fear.
Despite being invaders themselves, survival instinct still existed.
So they imdiately attempted negotiation.
"Human," one began carefully, "perhaps we can discuss this peacefully..."
Drex observed them calmly.
Four arms.
Semi-transparent wings.
Bodies resembling aquatic arthropods crossed with crustaceans.
Interesting biology.
The Kaiju engineering technology looked promising too.
Maybe he should throw these creatures into the Kryptonian Empire's research division later.
Behind him, Tony Stark stared in disbelief.
"That lunatic..." Tony muttered.
"The blast generated over a hundred million tons of impact force."
"And he walked out of it completely unhard."
A long pause followed.
"Is he even human anymore?"
