"Is that all?"
The moment Peter stepped out of the sea of fire, the surrounding flames vanished completely.
If not for the charred marks remaining on the ground, everyone would have almost thought that everything before was just an illusion.
"Your fire is a bit weak for me."
Hearing Peter's mockery, the already hot-tempered Human Torch found it increasingly unbearable!
"Damn it, I'll make you regret saying that crap!"
The infuriated Human Torch dove down recklessly, throwing a punch at Peter.
Before the punch could even land, the terrifying heat wave made space warp wildly, and the air was coated with a layer of red light.
Facing the Human Torch's incoming fist, the surrounding Little Spiders' expressions changed drastically, and they were involuntarily forced back by the heat wave.
Not to mention them, even the members of the Avengers in the distance couldn't help but be moved.
With such an all-out attack, only Thor and Hulk would have the confidence to withstand this punch 100% without being seriously injured.
And what about Peter, who was at the center of the battlefield?
At this moment, facing the Human Torch's punch, his expression remained incredibly calm.
He didn't dodge or evade; he simply raised his own fist against the opponent's incoming punch.
The moment the two fists collided, the resulting shockwave was comparable to an asteroid explosion.
The violent shockwave swept outwards, shattering all the glass in the surrounding buildings, and the roadside public facilities were instantly destroyed.
But Peter, he still acted as if nothing had happened.
Instead, a distorted and terrified expression faintly appeared on the Human Torch's flame-engulfed face.
First, he felt a piercing pain, followed by a strange suction acting on his body.
That magical suction was frantically devouring the flames on his body.
In sharp contrast, the ruby-like armor on Peter's suit became visibly and incredibly bright.
"Damn it, what are you doing? No! My flames!"
Jonathan let out a terrified scream as he watched the flames he was so proud of being frantically devoured by Peter like a bursting flood!
His body temperature dropped sharply, and his body changed from its Flame Form back into human form.
During the process, on the screen of that inconspicuous little broken watch on Peter's wrist, a stream of data was flashing rapidly.
[High-energy mutated gene detected...]
[Starting collection... 1%... 3%... 70%...]
[Gene collection complete!]
The moment the notification sounded in his mind, the Human Torch's last bit of fire was sucked dry by the Flame Form Witch Rider suit. He slumped like a heap of mud and was held in Peter's hand like a little chick.
"Johnny!"
"The Thing" Ben Grimm's eyes nearly split at the sight.
He let out a roar and leapt down from high above, his fist the size of a casserole dish carrying the force of ten thousand tons as it smashed towards Peter!
To this, Peter remained calm.
He tossed the "extinguished" Johnny aside like a piece of trash.
At the same time, his right hand once again brushed over the energy core of the Driver on his waist.
"Land! Please!"
"Do-Do-Do, Do-Do-Don!"
The red gemstone armor instantly switched to heavy yellow armor.
Having switched to Earth Form, Peter faced The Thing's giant fist without dodging, meeting it with a punch of his own!
Boom!
The momentum of the two fists colliding was even more exaggerated than the last time.
The asphalt road beneath their feet instantly developed web-like cracks, and the terrifying earthquake caused buildings within dozens of meters to collapse.
Crack~
Amidst the mess, a crisp cracking sound rang out.
But what made everyone's eyes almost pop out was that the source of the sound wasn't the transformed Peter, but The Thing's indestructible rock fist!
On his arm, which was made entirely of rock, a huge crack appeared, visible to the naked eye!
It was only a hair's breadth away from the entire rock arm shattering into pieces.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Looking at his cracked fist and feeling the piercing pain.
The Thing's mind went blank, his small eyes filled with massive confusion.
His body had been deeply modified by cosmic rays, and its hardness was comparable to diamond!
Since his debut, he had almost never lost to anyone in a pure contest of strength and hardness!
But this guy in yellow armor actually... cracked his hand with a single punch?
"What kind of ridiculous monstrous strength is this?!"
Facing the shocked Thing, Peter couldn't help but smile, as a layer of black substance, hard to detect with the naked eye, slowly receded from his fist.
No matter how hard your stone body is, can it be harder than my Armament Haki?
The Thing was both shocked and angry. He originally wanted to retreat, but then he felt something.
So he suddenly stopped his movement, enduring the pain to try and step forward to suppress Peter.
But just then, he felt the ground beneath his feet give way!
He looked down and realized that the ground beneath him had turned into fine quicksand at some point.
This quicksand was now devouring his heavy body bit by bit, making him sink uncontrollably!
"What?!" The Thing's expression changed drastically.
Meanwhile, Peter tilted his head just at the right moment.
In the next second, an invisible energy wave grazed past his hair and struck The Thing squarely on the shoulder, making him let out a cry of pain.
"Has anyone ever told you that your acting is really terrible? Also..."
At this, Peter's gaze narrowed slightly, and in the next second, he suddenly threw a punch.
Thud!
A ripple exploded in the air.
Within the oscillating ripples, a sweating "Invisible Woman" Susan Storm Richards revealed herself.
At this moment, her face was also filled with shock.
Her invisibility was complete optical stealth; although it couldn't mask heat, it shouldn't be detectable by the naked eye at all!
How did this guy find her?
If she hadn't reacted quickly and immediately used her energy field to create a shield, she might have been killed by that single punch on the spot.
"Ma'am, sneak attacks aren't a good habit!"
As he spoke, he noticed the Invisible Woman trying to fly away using her energy field, and his little broken watch had also finished collecting The Thing's genes.
Peter gave a cold snort, and in the next second, Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly.
The terrifying Haki swept across the scene, nearly making weaker superheroes like Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Spider-Woman kneel on the spot.
It also made the Invisible Woman, who was closest to Peter, let out a muffled groan as the Energy Force Fields in front of and beneath her instantly shattered.
The Invisible Woman's Energy Force Field was considered an absolute defense, but it had a major weakness.
That was, to maintain such an energy field, absolute focus was required; there couldn't be a moment of distraction.
But facing Peter's Conqueror's Haki impact, not being distracted was simply impossible.
Therefore, in the next second, the Invisible Woman's figure plummeted from the air and was caught squarely by the neck by Peter's single hand.
That scene, well... had a bit of a "defeat CG" vibe to it.
