Quentin's laughter echoed in Scott's ears as he looked up in shock. Before him stood the Fire Elemental, a massive, hulking creature of pure fire, similar to the three other elemental creatures he had encountered.
However, the Fire Elemental had characteristics that set it apart from the others.
Unlike the previous Elementals, the Fire Elemental didn't attack Scott immediately upon its creation. Instead, it began to burn and consume the equipment and parts of the structure in the basement. Even the metal frames and reinforced concrete melted into molten lava, which was then absorbed by the Fire Elemental.
The molten lava strengthened and enlarged the Fire Elemental, making it appear as if it was constantly consuming external materials to fuel its own growth.
In less than ten seconds, the Fire Elemental had grown from a three-meter figure to a six-meter molten giant. Its head pierced the basement ceiling, and its bloated, lava-filled body filled half the basement. The intense heat made Scott sweat profusely, causing him to instinctively step back.
"Perfect! This is the perfect ultimate war monster. It's real, not a mere projection or simulated illusion," Quentin murmured to himself, his face filled with fervor as he gazed at the Fire Elemental in utter fascination.
The Fire Elemental's actions of consuming and growing showed no signs of stopping; in fact, its pace was accelerating. The flames and heat enveloped the entire basement, even causing Quentin's glass helmet to fog up.
"What have you done?" Scott's face grew pale as the presence of this Fire Elemental gave him a terrible feeling.
If the previous Earth, Wind, and Water Elementals were merely difficult opponents, this Fire Elemental seemed to embody pure catastrophe. If it wasn't stopped here, the consequences could be truly terrifying.
Quentin removed his glass helmet, his face glowing red in the firelight as he excitedly explained, "In the simulated data of the construct, the Fire Elemental is the most powerful combat life form. To create it in reality, I exhausted all the energy given to me by my master!"
The Aether energy that powered the Fire Elemental was more than the total amount used by the other three elementals combined. Only with this much energy could the Fire Elemental's special abilities manifest.
**Devour and Evolve!
The Fire Elemental could burn and consume any material to strengthen its body, constantly evolving and growing until it finally destroyed the entire planet it was on.
"With this, what do I have to fear from the likes of the Symbol of Peace or Iron Man? Even if they came now, it would be too late."
Quentin couldn't help but smile as he walked past Scott toward the Fire Elemental.
The Fire Elemental seemed to sense something, stopping its destructive ways and lowering its head to look at Quentin as he approached. The creature's lava-filled eye sockets showed no discernible emotion.
"Fire Elemental, I am your master, Quentin! Together we will create a new era, one that is ours!"
"Burn all who dare stand in our way to ashes."
Quentin spread his arms wide, passionately proclaiming his vision.
The Fire Elemental nodded slightly as if it understood what Quentin was saying.
Overjoyed, Quentin turned and pointed at Scott, giving the order, "Now, kill that little ant. This farce has gone on long enough. Only by killing him will Hank Pym finally submit."
The Fire Elemental nodded again and slowly raised his molten left hand. It swung forward and struck Quentin, who was standing directly in front of it, sending him flying across the room.
Quentin tumbled through the air and hit the basement wall with a thud before slowly sliding to the floor.
The force of the blow, combined with the intense heat, caused Quentin to cough up blood immediately. The external burns were severe, but the internal damage to his lungs and organs from the impact was even worse. It was clear that he wouldn't survive.
This dramatic turn of events left Scott stunned. Quentin, lying on the floor, badly injured and dying, was also shocked by this and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Why? Why? Why..." Quentin tried to scream, but his throat, burned by the molten lava, couldn't produce coherent sounds.
In the final moments of his life, Quentin suddenly realized the truth - for the Fire Elemental, the greatest obstacle to his progress wasn't anyone else; it was his own useless creator.
"So now no one can stop you..."
Quentin, at peace with the thought of the Earth being destroyed by the Fire Elemental, closed his eyes for the last time.
"Did it really kill the one who created it? Playing with fire only to get burned?"
Scott was overcome with shock, his body tensing as he looked at Quentin's lifeless body and then at the Fire Elemental.
After killing Quentin, the Fire Elemental's hollow, molten eyes turned toward Scott. It seemed to grin menacingly as its lava-filled mouth split open and it raised its massive molten hand again.
"This is bad!"
Scott's expression changed and he immediately turned to run. Instead of heading for the basement door, he sprinted for the bathroom inside. His eyes locked on the drain, and his thumb, already on the control button of his Ant-Man suit, pressed down quickly.
**Pym Technologies, First Floor Lobby.**
Eddie had just pulled Peter up from the floor, both of them still dripping wet. They were about to speak when they suddenly frowned and looked down, sensing an ominous and destructive presence from below.
Venom whispered a warning, "Eddie, be careful. Something terrible is comimg out of the ground.
Eddie nodded solemnly, his body once again covered in a dark, chitinous membrane as he merged with the symbiote into his battle form.
Peter crouched slightly as well as every hair on his body was standing on end as a chilling, shuddering sensation gripped his heart.
"What is this...?"
Inside the Mirror Dimension, Kyle, who had remained calm until now, finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.
A crack spread across the floor of the lobby, quickly branching out like a spider's web as a powerful energy surged from below.
At that moment, Eddie and Peter reacted quickly, each darting to opposite sides to avoid the danger.
Just as they moved away from the center of the lobby, the floor exploded upward and scorching red lava shot ten meters into the air, creating a scene reminiscent of a small volcanic eruption.
As Eddie and Peter looked on in bewilderment and alarm, a molten hand emerged first, followed by the head of a lava giant.
Soon, the entire Fire Elemental emerged from the ground, its surroundings engulfed by the molten lava, which began to burn and melt everything it touched, becoming part of its growing body.
"No way, another one?" Peter cried out in horror with his mouth wide open.
"No, it's different! Completely different! This one is not like the others!"
Eddie's long white eyes widened as he clenched his dark fists, preparing for the worst.
"Quick, follow me out of here!"
Suddenly returning to human size, Scott appeared out of nowhere, shouting at Eddie and Peter as he urged them to flee.
