Ghost Rider was mid-arc, hellfire chains spiraling and Derrick stopped running.
All lightning gathered into a fixed point with the help of wind control and gravity manipulation.
The air screamed as Derrick compressed lightning into a blinding plasma lance, magnetic fields screaming as it stabilized for less than a heartbeat.
Johnny Blaze barely had time to snarl,
The condensed lightning plasma beam hit.
Hellfire detonated outward as Ghost Rider was driven out of the sky, smashing through cloud layers and into the distant earth like a meteor, the spirit within him forced dormant by sheer overload.
The bike spiraled away, extinguished.
Temporary.
But enough.
Derrick turned to Thor.
And this time He didn't hesitate.
Viltrumite combat data finished locking into place. Not memories anymore. Instincts. Momentum math. Kill vectors. Angle dominance.
The way Nolan Grayson fought his foes until they broke and how thragg dominated the battlefield..
Thor swung.
Derrick didn't dodge.
He rolled with it,biomass absorbing force, redirecting it through his core, releasing it back through his hammer fist
The punch snapped Thor's head sideways.
Another into the chest making divine armor buckling.
A third into the forearm, bone ringing like struck steel.
Thor crashed from the sky, carving a smoking trench before slamming into the ground hard enough to form a crater..
Blood ran.
Derrick landed beside him before the thunder finished echoing.
He knelt.
Consumed a smear of Asgardian blood using tendrilfrom Thor's cheek.
Thor's eyes snapped open, incandescent with rage.
"You dare!! "
Mjolnir spun.
Thor rose laughing, furious, spinning the hammer until lightning bent around it then hurled it with everything he had.
The hammer hit Derrick's crossed, reinforced forearms and drove him into orbit.
Thor threw his head back, laughing like a storm god unchained.
"FLY, PRETENDER!"
Mjolnir snapped back into his hand.
Ground Level
The X-Men arrived in force.
Storm, Wolverine, Jean, Beast, Emma Frost, Cyclops.
Thor turned, lightning still crackling.
A brief pause.
Cyclops spoke first. "Temporary alliance."
Thor grinned. "Gladly."
Behind them, Ghost Rider began to stir.
They never saw Derrick coming.
He hit atmosphere at absurd speed, building momentum like a falling god, gravity folding inward as Derrick added force instead of losing it.
Then
Impact.
Derrick dive-bombed the battlefield, releasing every stored energy at once momentum fused with a gravity shockwave that flattened the ground.
Storm screamed as the pressure crushed her lungs.
Beast was thrown end over end.
Jean flew back , bleeding from the nose.
Thor and Ghost Rider were hurled backward over a hundred meters, carving trenches through stone.
Derrick didn't slow.
Cyclops never got the visor up.
One second standing.
Next second he was power snack as Derrick laughed
Consumed.
Derrick then vanished in a sonic boom before anyone could reach him.
Avengers Tower
Silence fell...
Tony stared at the feed a knot in his chest . "…He just ate Scott."
Steve closed his eyes in pain.
"That's it," Fury said. "He's no longer an anomaly. He's a global extinction risk."
Strange swallowed.
"And he's learning too fast, we have to come up with a solution, whilst minimizing collateral damage ."
X-Mansion (Emergency Channel)
Jean was shaking, phoenix forces almost out of control...
Emma Frost was pale with rage.
Wolverine's claws extended. "I'm gonna gut him."
Storm whispered with tears in eyes ,
"We underestimated him."
Hell
Mephisto smiled not angry at the fact that his first plan flopped and his subordinate was banished back to his domain...
He was rather Delighted.
"So," he purred, watching the playback, "that's how you fight."
He turned to a horned demon, ancient and clever.
"Draft me a spell," Mephisto said softly. "One that traps not just the body… but the souls inside him."
The demon bowed" yes my lord ".
...
Yellowstone Forest
Derrick appeared between the trees, steam rising from his skin.
Healing accelerated—bones knitting, nerves rethreading, magic burns sealing faster than before.
He quickly raised a hand.
Master Pandemonium's ability activated.
Demons excited start to claw their way into existence one by one but sadly for them their just snacks.
Derrick consumed them all.
Each absorption thickened the demonic layer around his core.
Magic resistance ticked upward.
Fraction by fraction.
Elsewhere
News feeds exploded.
"Mutant leader missing, presumed dead."
"Avengers are overwhelmed and have not responded yet."
"Government confirms hostile god-level entity."
Fear spread faster than facts.
Derrick's Evolution
Alone, Derrick refined Thor's blood further.
0.0001% → 0.1%
Then fusion.
Asgardian divine genome intertwined with Viltrumite DNA.
The result was violent perfection.
Magic resistance surged.
Physical output multiplied.
Lightning no longer burned as deeply.
Divine energy no longer destabilized his core.
Derrick exhaled.
Assessment complete.

Derrick looked up at the sky.
Thor was still out there.
So were gods.
Demons.
And worse.
He smiled.
He said quietly. "Now it gets interesting."
