Tony didn't wait for Death to reach him. He attacked first.
Repulsors fired at maximum output. Twin beams of Starktonium energy hit Death square in the chest. The energy was powerful enough to vaporize a building.
Death kept walking.
The beams slid off his Celestial metal body without leaving a mark.
Tony switched tactics. He flew forward at supersonic speed and punched Death with his full Homo Supreme strength.
The impact created a thunderclap. The shockwave shattered windows for blocks. The ground beneath Death's feet cracked and collapsed into a crater.
But Death himself didn't even move. He just stood there and took the punch.
Then he smiled.
"Weak."
Death's massive fist swung up faster than something his size should move. He caught Tony mid-air and squeezed.
The Mark Infinity Supreme armor groaned under the pressure. Warning alarms blared. Systems began to fail.
Tony phased to quantum state. His body became intangible. He slipped out of Death's grip like smoke.
Death's hand closed on empty air. He looked confused for a moment.
Tony materialized behind him and kicked with quantum-enhanced strength. The blow hit the back of Death's head with enough force to level a skyscraper.
Death stumbled forward one step. Then turned around slowly.
"Interesting," he said. "You can phase. But you cannot harm me."
It was true. Tony's sensors confirmed what he could see. Death's Celestial metal body was completely indestructible. No physical force could damage it. No energy beam could pierce it. It existed at the peak of material strength.
Tony needed a different approach.
He flew backward creating distance. His mind raced through options. Physical attacks were useless. Energy attacks were useless. He needed something that could affect Death on a fundamental level.
Then he remembered his training with the Ancient One. Magic operated on different principles than physics. It could affect things that physical forces couldn't touch.
Tony made complex gestures with both hands. Orange mystic symbols appeared in the air. He had studied dimensional magic extensively. Learned how to manipulate the barriers between realities.
"Dimensional Shift."
The spell activated. Space around Death began to warp. Reality became fluid. Death's body started to exist in multiple dimensions simultaneously.
His solid form became translucent. Then flickered. He was being pulled between the normal dimension and others nearby.
Death roared in confusion and rage. "What are you doing?"
"Removing you from normal physics," Tony replied.
While Death was dimensionally unstable, Tony attacked with everything simultaneously. He flew forward and struck with Homo Supreme strength while Death couldn't properly defend. Each punch landed with planet-shaking force.
He activated all ten rings at once. Fire and ice struck Death simultaneously creating thermal shock. Wind and darkness battered him from all sides. Matter manipulation tried to destabilize his molecular structure. Lightning and energy blasts hammered him without pause.
He channeled Starktonium energy at maximum output directly from his arc reactor. The blue beam burned bright enough to be seen from orbit.
And he cast combat spells that the Ancient One had taught him. Mystic bolts that struck at the soul rather than the body. Binding chains that restricted movement. Disruption hexes that interfered with magical energies.
The combined assault was overwhelming. Death's body flickered faster between dimensions. He couldn't maintain stability under such multidimensional pressure.
The Celestial programming that controlled him began to break down. It was designed to work in normal space. Not across multiple dimensional frequencies at once.
Tony saw his opening. He flew directly at Death and placed both hands on the giant's chest. Then he did something incredibly dangerous.
He channeled his full Homo Supreme power. Every ounce of strength. Every bit of quantum energy. The complete output of his Starktonium core that he can still control. All ten rings firing simultaneously. And every combat spell he knew layered on top of each other.
It was enough power to destroy a small city.
He released it all directly into Death's dimensionally unstable body.
Boom!
