The earth elemental creature was made of hard, fragmented sand and stone, with a massive brown body the size of a small mountain. Every move it made exuded an overwhelming sense of power and pressure.
The Wind Elemental creature took the form of a howling, intangible gust, its body oscillating between the virtual and the real. The swirling winds it emitted swept through the company, displacing objects in its path.
The water elemental creature formed from the water flowing out of the pipes continued to grow in size as more water flowed out, its expanding body completely blocking one of the exits.
“Three of these energy monsters, each so powerful?”
Scott spread his arms protectively around Hope, his eyes darting around at the surrounding Elementals and Mysterio. His mouth went dry, and he swallowed nervously.
Facing even one of these elemental creatures would be a close to impossible challenge. As a newly minted second-generation Ant-Man, Scott wasn’t sure he could defeat any of them alone.
Now he had to protect the injured Hope while dealing with three massive creatures, each with different elemental powers, as well as Mysterio, who watched them like a predator waiting to strike.
“This is really bad.” Scott frowned, unable to think of a way out. Even if he could shrink Hope, the Wind Elemental that dominated the airspace would tear them apart before they could escape on Antony.
“Scott.”
Hope’s face was pale and her delicate hand rested on Scott’s shoulder as she spoke softly but firmly, “You know you can’t escape if you take me with you. You have to get out of here now. If the Ant-Man suit falls into the wrong hands, it would be a disaster for the world.”
“Hope, stop. I would never leave you, and besides…”
Scott looked up at Mysterio floating in the air and continued with a bitter smile, “He went to a lot of trouble to set this trap. Do you really think he’s just going to let me walk out of here?”
“I’ve dragged you into this.” Hope clenched her fists and bit her lip.
Scott’s mind flashed to an image of his daughter, and then he shrugged, joking, “It’s too late to say anything now, barring a miracle. But if I have to die, at least I’ll die with you. That’s not the worst outcome.”
Hearing their conversation, Mysterio spread his hands and chuckled, “Yes, you’re right. All you can do now is pray for a miracle…”
“Boom!
Just then, as if on cue, a deafening crash echoed from the roof of Pym Technologies, as if something heavy had suddenly crashed into it.
“What’s that?”
Mysterio was caught off guard. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the fifth floor fell, hitting his glass helmet. However, the chandelier seemed to pass right through him as if he weren’t even there, continuing to fall unhindered to the floor below.
“Scott, did you see that?” Hope’s eyes lit up at the sight.
“I saw it.”
Scott nodded and stared intently at Mysterio. He whispered, “Come to think of it, the Wasp suit I saw in the demonstration hall earlier was also a drone projection.”
“You mean…” Hope looked at Scott in surprise.
“We may have a chance to escape.” Scott leaned close to Hope and whispered in her ear. His breath warmed her face, bringing a faint blush to her pale cheeks.
“What are you two talking about?”
Mysterio, still hovering in the air, watched them and then sneered, “All your schemes are futile in the face of absolute power. Elementals, what are you waiting for? Attack!”
The elemental creatures of earth, wind, and water roared at his command and charged at Scott and Hope, closing in from all sides.
Scott and Hope stood still, as if waiting for something. Just as the elemental creatures were about to reach them, Scott yelled into a communicator set to another channel, “Ant Brothers, now is the time!
In the central control room of Pym Technologies, the yellow mad ants that had crawled to the servers awaiting orders finally received Scott’s delayed command. They began gnawing at the server cables, sending electricity through their bodies.
In less than half a second, the entire Pym Technologies building lost power. All security and utility systems shut down, and a small pulse of electrical current spread from the server center, sweeping through the building.
In the fifth floor corridor, the Earth, Wind and Water Elementals were about to collide with Scott. But as the pulse spread, their movements suddenly froze, as if a movie had been paused in the middle.
The once massive and terrifying creatures gradually disintegrated into dozens of projection beams, revealing their true source – previously invisible drones.
In fact, there were a total of twenty drones flying around the company, projecting the elementals.
“It was just as I thought!”
Scott glanced at Mysterio, who was floating in the air. At that moment, Mysterio’s body began to glitch and display static, clearly showing that he too was a false projection.
“Antony!”
Scott shouted, and as Antony flew down from a corner of the wall, Scott quickly threw a dart. Upon impact, Antony’s tiny body instantly grew to a size even larger than a human.
“Hurry! Get Hope out of here!”
Scott helped Hope onto Antony’s back. When he saw the drones starting to fire at him, he quickly slapped Antony’s back to get him off. Meanwhile, Scott shrank into his small Ant-Man form to avoid the incoming fire.
In a hidden room at Pym Technologies, Quentin, wearing a high-tech helmet and casual clothes, looked grim as he tossed the remote control for the drones to the floor.
He hadn’t expected his ruse to be discovered so quickly. The Elementals were nothing more than hard light projections created by the drones.
“I had hoped to rely solely on my own abilities, without using too much of the energy given to me by the master, but now I have no choice.”
Quentin sighed, his eyes glinting faintly with a red light. He spread his arms wide, and two swirling red energy clouds began to form in his palms, growing larger by the second.
Second formations. At best, they were high-tech illusions, century-defying technology that could blur the line between reality and fiction. But when combined with the Aether’s energy (the power of the Reality Stone), these illusions could become something entirely different…
The now-enlarged worker ant, Antony, flapped his wings, creating a strong wind as he carried Hope and smashed through the fifth-floor glass, disappearing into the vast night sky outside.
With Hope safely out of Pym Technologies, Scott felt a weight lift off his shoulders. While dodging the gunfire, he sprinted down the corridor and leaped into the air, briefly returning his body to normal size. He smashed several of the firing drones, then shrank back down to Ant-Man size, making his escape to the lower floors.
Scott led the remaining drones straight toward a group of security guards on the lower floors, slipping through the gaps between their feet.
As the drones clashed with the company’s security guards, a man-versus-machine battle erupted.
