In Supernax, the high-security prison, Doc Seismic was meditating as vibrations echoed all around him.
Beneath the ground, many ancient creatures born from the pressure of the Earth's core advanced slowly, summoned by his call.
"Walker... you have been my nightmare for a long time. It's time I win!"
These ancient creatures are capable of withstanding blows from a stronger Mark Grayson, and they even managed to defeat him. Unbeknownst to many, several superheroes were in danger.
...
Far out in space, deep in the distance, Omni-Man was on the ground, bleeding, prostrated before a man.
This imposing man looked at Nolan without expression as he sat on his throne.
"So... Nolan, you failed the empire... I should gut you and let your intestines hang from the ship... however, I'm curious about that human who has done more damage to the empire in a year than the Coalition in a thousand years..."
"R-Regent..." Nolan tried to speak, but with his throat torn apart, he could barely do so. "That man is dangerous... the empire shouldn't even mess with him..."
Thragg stood up and walked to stand in front of Nolan.
"Everyone, be on alert!" General Kregg warned the other Viltrumites present.
"You're pathetic." Thragg looked at Nolan with disdain, then stomped, splitting the space castle in half. Thousands of soldiers and personnel from other races who served the Viltrumites were in that place, but they were all ejected into space when the castle was destroyed, dying on the spot.
Nolan fell into space but was caught by Thragg.
"I can't believe one of my best men turned into a cowardly bastard!" Thragg's face contorted with rage. "Even if you die, you will die fighting, that's how we Viltrumites are, not pathetic bastards like you, Nolan!"
"..." Nolan silently looked at Thragg; he had already accepted his fate.
"I won't kill you… Nolan, you deserve something special. I'll bring your children and that human you miss so much, and kill them in front of—"
Nolan struck Thragg with all his strength, causing him to release him.
"BASTARD! IF YOU DARE DO THAT, I'LL KILL YOU!"
This time, Nolan's words were interrupted as Thragg, the Regent of Viltrum, appeared before him with his fist piercing his chest.
"Was that what made you weak, Nolan?"
"ARGHH!"
Thragg pulled his fist out as Nolan's organs were shredded. Nolan felt the strength draining from his body slowly.
"I'm sorry, Mark... take care of your brother... I'm sorry, Debbie... I'm sorry for being such a bad husband..."
"You're truly pathetic... even now... you still embrace that weakness..."
The cold words from Regent Thragg were the last Nolan heard.
