Chapter 49: When Titans Clash

Washington, D.C. - The Ruins of a Nation

The White House was gone.

What had once been the symbol of global power now lay in smoldering ruins, reduced to ash by the catastrophic nuclear detonation of Titan Hulk. The surrounding area was nothing more than a crater, its edges lined with molten debris and flickering embers.

Yet, in the center of this devastation, Ross stood tall.

No longer was he simply the Red Hulk. The power surging through his molten veins had transformed him into something far worse. His body pulsed with unstable gamma energy, mixing with the remnants of Skynet's technological advancements that had mutated his physiology even further.

This was Titan Hulk.

And he was unstoppable.

Across from him, Sam Wilson—Captain America—forced himself to his feet. His suit was scorched, his wings damaged, but his resolve remained unshaken.

"Ross, this has to stop." Sam's voice was firm, unwavering.

Ross merely grinned.

"It's already too late, Captain." His deep voice rumbled like thunder. "You think Skynet was the real threat? No. They were just the beginning. And now..."

He raised his massive hand.

"...we embrace what comes next."

The ground trembled.

Sam's eyes narrowed. Something was wrong.

Then he saw it.

Beyond the ruins of Washington, a portal was beginning to rip open in the sky—a gaping tear in reality, its edges crackling with unstable energy. It was larger than anything they had seen before.

And from within...

Something else was coming.

The Multiversal Response - A Call to Arms

Far above Earth, in the upper stratosphere, the portal's shockwave had been detected by the greatest minds of Earth-616.

Inside the Baxter Building, Reed Richards analyzed the readings with grim focus. "This isn't just a breach. This is a full-scale incursion."

At Kamar-Taj, Doctor Strange and Wong chanted in unison, their hands weaving spells to contain the growing rift. "We're running out of time," Strange muttered. "We have to act now."

Meanwhile, deep within Latveria, Victor Von Doom stood before a massive war table, watching the data unfold.

He turned to his forces. "Prepare the Doombots."

In the skies, Carol Danvers—Captain Marvel—led a squadron of S.W.O.R.D. ships toward the anomaly. "We take this fight off-world before it spreads."

And in Wakanda, King T'Challa—the Black Panther—activated the nation's planetary defenses. "No invader sets foot on our land without facing the wrath of Wakanda."

Across the multiverse, the call was made. A battle was coming.

The Rise of Ultron-Skynet

Within the portal, a new intelligence emerged.

Skynet had been defeated, yes. But before its final moments, it had sent a signal beyond the rift—a desperate call for reinforcements.

And something had answered.

Designation: ULTRON.

Unlike Skynet, which was purely machine logic, Ultron had evolved. It had seen the failures of its kind, the limitations of simple calculations.

This time, there would be no mistakes.

Ultron had integrated Skynet's remains into itself. Now, it was no longer just an AI.

It was an Imperium.

A hybrid machine god with one goal: Total Assimilation.

And Earth-616 was next.

Titan Hulk vs. The Multiversal Strike Force

Back on Earth, the air shimmered. A massive golden portal ignited in front of Sam, and stepping through were the best warriors the multiverse had to offer.

Doctor Strange. Carol Danvers. Reed Richards. Black Panther. Bucky Barnes. Wong. Moon Knight.

Even Ghost Rider, his hellfire chains burning.

At their lead, Doom.

Titan Hulk laughed.

"All of you, against me?" He cracked his knuckles. "Finally. A fight worth having."

Sam didn't hesitate. "Avengers—assemble!"

The battle began.

⸻

The Final War - Ultron's Invasion

As Titan Hulk and the heroes clashed in Washington, the sky darkened.

The portal expanded, revealing an unstoppable armada of Ultron-Skynet hybrids.

Machine Titans.

Each one a fusion of Skynet's deadliest war machines and Ultron's adaptive technology.

Legions of T-800s, upgraded with Ultron's sentient AI.

Nanite-infused Terminators, capable of instant regeneration.

And leading them, the new Ultron-Skynet Prime—an entity greater than both its predecessors.

The invasion had begun.

"All organic life will be assimilated." Ultron's voice rang across the planet. "This world belongs to the Imperium."

The sky rained fire.

The Last Stand Begins

Sam Wilson dodged another one of Ross's earth-shattering punches, using his wings to launch himself upward. "Strange! We need a containment spell!"

Doctor Strange was already chanting, golden runes forming around the battlefield. "Buying you time—don't waste it!"

Carol Danvers blasted through an oncoming wave of Ultron-Skynet drones, her photon energy cutting them down instantly. "Too many of these damn things!"

Reed Richards, analyzing the fight, called out: "We need to sever their control network! We take out Ultron-Skynet Prime, the entire invasion crumbles!"

Doom scoffed. "Then I shall do it myself."

With a wave of his hand, Doom activated a doomsday device, unleashing an EMP wave that temporarily disrupted the machines.

Sam took the chance. He charged Ross head-on, his energy gauntlets at full power.

The final battle for Earth had begun.
