The shattered streets of Metropolis trembled under the combined might of Darkseid's Parademons and Thanos' minions. The air vibrated with cosmic energy as the rift above widened, pulsing like a living wound.
Superman and Thor led the charge, fists and hammer clashing with waves of enemy forces. Every strike sent shockwaves across the city, buildings crumbling under the sheer force. Hulk roared, barreling through the Parademons, while Doomsday mirrored him, smashing towers in their path.
Wonder Woman and Valkyrie sliced through undead warriors summoned by Hela, their blades gleaming as lightning and divine energy collided in deadly arcs. Storm unleashed her fury from above, her bolts clashing against Darkseid's energy beams.
In the shadows, Batman and Captain America coordinated precision strikes, targeting leaders to fracture the enemy ranks. Spider-Man and Nightwing darted through chaos, using agility and strategy to disable traps and redirect enemies.
High above, Flash and Quicksilver raced across the battlefield, intercepting energy surges from the rift and disrupting enemy formations with speed unmatched. Doctor Strange opened portals, pulling reinforcements to key battle points while minimizing collateral damage.
Thanos lifted his gauntlet, reality bending around him. Darkseid's eyes glowed with malevolent fury. The two tyrants advanced, moving in perfect coordination, crushing any who dared oppose them. Even Loki, watching from a rooftop, smirked at the chaos he had helped ignite.
The first full-scale confrontation had begun. Heroes fought with everything at their disposal: strength, speed, skill, and strategy. Yet the villains' combined might was overwhelming. Every victory was fleeting, every strike a reminder of the power gap.
But amidst the destruction, a single truth became clear: the heroes had unified. And as long as they stood together, there was a chance—however small—to turn the tide of the war.
