"I'm opening a portal to the blood pool area now!"
With his decision made, Strange immediately set the staff down, raised one hand, and began spinning to conjure a portal.
But just as the portal opened—
The monsters near the blood pool also noticed it. Without hesitation, they surged toward the opening.
"F**k!"
Strange had just been about to step through when he saw the horde charging at him through the portal he had created. His expression twisted in horror.
He quickly tried to shut the portal.
But a wave of monsters had already begun pouring through, lunging straight for him!
"Watch out!"
Tony Stark immediately fired off a flurry of missiles and repulsor blasts to intercept the charging monsters.
Just then, Rogers rushed in, delivering a knight-like flying kick to a pouncing lynx-type creature, sending it crashing back into the horde—
And triggering a massive explosion that blew apart scores of them.
With help from Rogers and Stark, Strange was saved and quickly shut the portal.
"Ha… ha… ha…"
Strange panted heavily, still reeling in shock.
He had never imagined that just opening a portal could almost cost him his life.
"These monsters are smarter than they look. They actually know how to charge in through the other side of the portal."
Tony said grimly.
"Wait—can't you just open the portal in the sky?"
Rogers, kicking away another monster, suddenly had a realization.
"Oh! Right—in the sky!"
Strange snapped back and nodded.
This time, he conjured another portal—
But the other side opened high above the blood pool.
There were some flying monsters nearby, but because they were speeding past, none noticed the portal yet.
"Hold tight!"
Tony grabbed Strange by the arm and flew them both through the portal.
Once above the blood pool—
Tony ascended even higher while monsters tried to attack them.
Thankfully, Rhodey covered them with relentless missile fire, blowing the enemies apart and clearing a path.
Once high enough—
Tony positioned Strange to stand on his back.
"You know, this is the first time I've let a guy stand on my back. Usually, I only let women do that. You're honored."
Tony muttered begrudgingly.
"Sorry I'm not a woman."
Strange replied dryly, completely unamused given the current circumstances.
Then—
He raised the Apocalypse Revelation Staff high and focused.
"Apocalypse Revelation Staff! Full Power!!"
As soon as the words left his mouth—
The staff erupted in brilliant purple light.
And in the sky above, a massive, glowing purple magic circle formed!
"Oh my god, what is that?!"
"Is that… some kind of ultra-magic?!"
The sudden emergence of the massive purple formation caught everyone's attention—
Especially the magicians of Kamar-Taj, who stared in awe.
"So this is the Apocalypse Revelation Staff at 100% power?"
Wong and Mordo, who were both knowledgeable in the arcane arts, stared at it with curiosity—while still fending off nearby monsters.
The next second, within the magic circle, a colossal meteor began to take shape, slowly descending.
Its presence radiated terrifying pressure.
Whether human or monster—
All eyes were drawn to that apocalyptic meteor.
"This isn't an ordinary meteor. It contains horrifying energy!"
From a distance, Odin—who had casually slaughtered a thousand-meter monster—snapped his gaze toward it.
As a powerful being himself, Odin could clearly sense just how fearsome the Apocalypse Revelation Staff's full power was.
He couldn't afford to take it lightly.
As the meteor descended—
The blood pool erupted with dozens of massive tentacles, lunging toward Strange and Stark in the sky—
Clearly trying to eliminate them before the meteor hit!
"Watch out!"
Rhodey launched a barrage of crystalline vine missiles, transforming the tentacles into crystal before they could strike.
But just then—
A massive, 800-meter-long bat engulfed in flames burst from the blood pool, zooming past the crystal-covered zone—
And flew straight toward Tony and Strange!
"ROOOAAAARRRR!!"
Hulk's earth-shaking roar echoed across the battlefield!
He was using airborne monsters as stepping stones, leaping from one to another like a human missile.
Each stomp brought down a flying creature.
Now—
Hulk resembled a living jet, streaking through the air with overwhelming force and fury.
If one looked closely, they'd notice his body had grown noticeably larger.
Earlier, Hulk had battled countless monsters—many far bigger and stronger than him.
But Hulk's strength came from his rage.
The stronger the enemies, the harder they hit him—
The angrier he became,
The more powerful he grew.
Now, his strength had reached terrifying new heights!
As the flaming bat closed in on Stark and Strange, Hulk didn't hesitate—
CRACK!!!
One punch—
And he smashed through the bat's skull, sending it plummeting lifelessly to the ground.
"Did Hulk just… save us?"
Tony stared in disbelief at Hulk's retreating back.
"Maybe he's just mad at all the monsters and doesn't even realize he helped us."
Strange offered a more likely theory.
Then—
He glanced down at the falling meteor.
And at the blood pool below.
"Take this!"
Strange swung the Apocalypse Revelation Staff downward with force.
The massive meteor plummeted even faster, howling through the sky with terrifying speed, tearing through the air as it descended toward the blood pool.
"Go get 'em!!"
Tony shouted excitedly.
"Clear the area! The meteor's about to hit!"
Rhodey called out as he flew, warning everyone near the blood pool to retreat.
Those close by immediately stopped fighting and bolted, desperate to avoid the blast radius.
"Wait—hold on!!"
Just as Tony eagerly watched the meteor approach the target, he suddenly noticed something terrifying—
The meteor was too big.
It was larger than the blood pool itself.
Which meant—
It might miss the center and explode on the outskirts instead!
"Damn it! The meteor's too massive!!"
Tony shouted in panic.
"What do we do?!"
Strange had noticed it too and was just as alarmed.
But there was no turning back now.
They could only watch—
Powerless to stop what came next.
