MARVEL: TOAA

The metallic groaning of machinery echoed through the battlefield as the enormous mechanical ape began shedding its metal plating. Each piece of discarded armor morphed into humanoid robots, forming a formidable army of steel. The massive ape, now free of these mechanical soldiers, seemed even larger and more menacing.

From within his steel suit, the Iron Mandrill—mastermind of this mechanical monstrosity—watched with a grim expression, his confidence waning.

Suddenly, the red eyes of nearly a hundred robots glowed menacingly. Acting in unison, they raised their metallic arms and unleashed a barrage of laser beams toward Ravion and his companions.

"Careful!" Ravion shouted, stepping forward to shield John and Reina. His towering frame absorbed the onslaught, deflecting the deadly rays with an unyielding resolve.

The robots, undeterred by their failed ranged attack, charged at Ravion. Razor-sharp claws extended from their hands, each seeking to tear him apart.

Sebastian Shaw, observing the chaos, marveled at the spectacle. "Magnificent creations," he mused aloud. "Are you sure you're not the true king here? Surrender to me, and I'll spare your life. Tell me who built you, and I'll replace them as your master."

The Iron Mandrill smirked behind his visor, his disdain palpable. "Fool. When my leader defeats you, I might grant you the mercy of a swift death."

Sebastian dismissed the threat with a sneer, turning his attention back to Thor Ape. "You think your hammer makes you invincible? Without it, you're nothing but a brute."

The two combatants clashed again, their blows reverberating with raw, primal force. Thor Ape delivered a thunderous punch, sending Sebastian staggering, but Shaw retaliated with relentless fury. Each strike only seemed to energize him as he absorbed the kinetic energy into his body, healing instantly.

Thor Ape, despite his immense strength and resilience, began to falter. His mystical thunder powers were finite, while Sebastian's regenerative abilities kept him at peak condition. With each passing moment, it became clear who would outlast whom.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Ravion faced the mechanical army with a calm demeanor. He raised his hand, and, as if by divine intervention, the entire army froze mid-air. The Iron Mandrill's smug expression faltered, replaced by shock.

"What... what is this power?"

Unbeknownst to him, Ravion had recently absorbed Magneto's mutant abilities, adding mastery over metal to his arsenal. With a mere flick of his wrist, the steel soldiers crumbled, their parts scattering like leaves in a storm.

The mechanical giant ape, sensing its troops' defeat, lunged at Ravion with its massive hands. But Ravion remained unfazed, dismantling the ape's arms mid-swing. The now-imbalanced machine collapsed, its oversized head crashing to the ground.

With a casual motion, Ravion flicked the massive spherical head away as though it were a toy marble. The ground trembled as it rolled into the distance.

A deep, guttural roar broke through the chaos. Emerging from the shattered remains of the mechanical ape was a hulking green figure. It smashed through the bulletproof glass of the ape's cockpit and landed with a resounding boom, shaking the earth.

As the dust cleared, the creature revealed itself—a five-meter-tall green giant ape, its muscular frame exuding primal ferocity. Sharp fangs protruded from its mouth, and its eyes burned with savage intent.

The Iron Mandrill dropped to one knee before the monstrous being, bowing his head in reverence. "Leader," he whispered.

The Green Titan surveyed the battlefield, his gaze sweeping over Ravion, John, and the others before settling on Sebastian and Thor Ape, who were still locked in combat.

At that moment, Sebastian delivered a devastating punch to Thor Ape's face, knocking him to the ground. Bloodied and battered, the thunder-wielding beast could fight no more.

Sebastian stood over his defeated opponent, laughing. "Stay down. Your reign is over."

Spotting Mjolnir lying nearby, he approached it with curiosity. Gripping the hammer with both hands, he strained to lift it, but it wouldn't budge.

"Damn it! You really are the God of Hammers," he muttered, stepping back in frustration. His attention shifted to the Green Titan. "It seems it's time for a battle between kings."

Sebastian turned to the Iron Mandrill. "Those mechanical creations of yours are impressive. Once I've dealt with your leader, you'll serve under me."

"Shut your mouth, fool!" the Iron Mandrill hissed, his voice trembling with fear. "You have no idea who you're dealing with."

The Green Titan roared, his deep voice resonating across the battlefield. "I'll rip your head off and feast on your remains," he growled, lunging forward.

Sensing the imminent danger, Ravion teleported John and Reina to safety with a flash of light. Azazel followed suit, grabbing the White Queen and vanishing just as the Green Titan's massive palms clapped together.

The deafening sound of his Thunder Palm attack echoed across the battlefield. A shockwave tore through the ground, leaving a two-meter-deep trench in its wake. Even the soil, tightly bound by tree roots, was uprooted by the sheer force of the blow.

But Sebastian stood his ground, absorbing the full brunt of the attack. His body glowed faintly as he converted the energy into strength, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"This... this is incredible!" Sebastian exclaimed. "I haven't felt this alive in years."

The Green Titan snarled, his fists tightening as he prepared for another strike. Across the ravine, Sebastian's eyes gleamed with equal parts ambition and malice. The air between them crackled with tension, the stage set for a clash that would shake the earth.
