The chaos on Earth did not subside with Quinn's sudden appearance.Riots, looting, arson — all spread like wildfire across the globe.Everywhere, anarchy reigned.
Only one nation in the East maintained relative order.The rest of the Western world was drowning in its own so-called "freedom and democracy."When the line between the police and the people vanished, "zero-cost shopping" became the new world order.Shops were boarded up with thick wooden planks, and the streets burned with unrest.
From coastal California to Paris, from Illinois to the ends of the Earth —waves of violent, mystical energy surged forth, born of fear itself.
No one knew the true source of that terror.But in the shadows — it hid.And there, a dark figure stood with his staff, eyes glinting with unspeakable malice.
"More… I want more!""Let them rise up with their fragile fists!""Let them resist — only to suffer!""Bleed them, break them… and let their children watch!"
"Only the truly kind know mercy… and you — my beloved generals, my phantoms, my heralds of evil — will show none!"
Invisible forces began to converge, drawn from every corner of the world —invisible to most, yet clear as day to the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.
The five great Sanctums of the world united once more.In the battle against the Phantoms of New York, the magicians had been key —and now, they would rise again.
"Ahhh! More! Give me more!""They'll surrender soon enough!""My strength keeps growing — but I want more!""Soon, I'll have enough power… enough to face him…"
"Enough to face — the Serpent!"
On the East Coast of Manhattan, Original Sin, wielder of Skadi's Hammer, finally made landfall —leading a legion of steel-clad mechs, determined to seize the entire city.
But at that same moment—the Avengers returned.
They had just emerged from the Earth Palace, one of Hades' Eight Star Palaces, carrying the blessings of the Underworld itself.Their power had ascended to a new realm.
Inside the Avengers Tower, they gathered once more,ready for the battle that would decide the fate of the world.
Each one now bore strength far beyond human comprehension.But the question remained — could even they stand against the Heavenly Hammer Envoys?
"Who the hell is this 'Serpent' supposed to be?"
A deafening BOOM! cut through the conversation.Lightning roared across the sky —Thor had arrived.
"There's no time to explain!" he shouted. "The Serpent is a primordial god — sealed on Earth ages ago! He seeks to destroy this world and rule the Nine Realms!"
"Original Sin has landed in Manhattan! Go — stop them before they spread any further!"
The war reignited.
Meanwhile, in Kamar-Taj, the Holy Sanctum was anything but calm.The Serpent's awakening had stirred countless dimensional demons, each clawing for a chance to invade this plane.
Even Aaron had left Earth —for he now stood on the front lines of Hell, commanding the Hades Army.
"Lord Hades!" cried Aiagos, kneeling. "We've captured ten of the Hell Lords' fortresses!"
Aaron nodded slightly.Each of the Four Heavenly Giants and Fiery Hue had received a single drop of divine blood —a safeguard that could preserve their lives in dire moments.
With the Blood of a God, a Hades warrior could easily slay a third-tier deity — even challenge a second-tier god.Those who had awakened the Ninth Sense could glimpse the true realm of divinity.
Yet even among gods, there were hierarchies —and Aaron knew it all too well.
"There are many familiar auras ahead…" Aaron murmured, resting his chin upon his hand. "And some… I've never felt before."
This was Hell's Plane, bound by its own laws.Even if Aaron used the Mirror of Worlds, his presence would instantly be detected.So, instead, he sat calmly upon his dark throne, his cold eyes fixed on the horizon.
"Crimson figure… you've come too, haven't you?"
Far in the distance, beyond the burning valleys, stood the Infernal City —the domain of an old adversary: the Lord of Flames, Mephisto.
Last time, when the Hades Army had been weaker, Mephisto's domain had fallen before them.But now, a new, suffocating aura had emerged —one powerful enough to suppress even Mephisto's own realm.
Aaron never waged war without preparation.He had turned the Plane of Hell inside out once before —and this time, he would finish it.
While the Ancient One of Kamar-Taj guarded against Dormammu's intrusion,Aaron's mission was to prevent Hell's demons from breaching the veil that separated Hell from the Underworld.
The borders were already thin —Hell, the Underworld, and Helheim were beginning to intertwine.Eventually, one would consume the other.
Aaron was unconcerned about Helheim —its ruler, Hela, Odin's firstborn, could manage her domain.But Hell itself was a different beast.
Here lurked countless Lords of the Abyss,some of them as strong as the Gods of Creation —others, hidden entirely from sight, waiting to strike.
"Lord Aiagos," a soldier called out, "a powerful Hell Lord is approaching our front lines!"
Aaron's eyes narrowed, and then he smirked."Go. It's an old acquaintance."
This one was a Hell Lord who had once caused chaos in New York —a being of immense power but little cunning.A false god, with ties to Dormammu, Lord of the Dark Dimension.
"Understood," Aiagos replied.
Meanwhile, on Earth — Manhattan burned.
Lightning surged from Thor's Mjolnir,blasting Original Sin backward, smashing her through layers of concrete.
The Power of Thor was divine, but Skadi's Hammer was no less formidable.After all, it held the power of the Winter Goddess herself.
Original Sin rolled across the ruined street, her eyes burning with fury,as Captain America — strengthened by the Super Soldier Serum and the Earth Palace's Blessing —hurled his new Kobelco Shield like a meteor.
The impact shattered two enemy mechs instantly.
Forged from the divine steel of the Underworld,the Kobelco Shield far surpassed even Vibranium.
The battle for Earth —had truly begun.
