Heroes of Marvel Chapter 999: Encircling

Chapter 999: Encircling

As Scott raced through the winding and intricate streets on the back of a flying ant, he suddenly found himself surrounded by an armed squad.

To his dismay, it was the same team that had ‘rescued’ Darren Cross the previous night, and he couldn’t understand how they had managed to track him down to this remote community where he was hiding.

Buzz~

Scott was moving swiftly through the air on the back of his flying ants, relying on his Antman abilities to evade detection. Despite his efforts, the armed team had somehow managed to track him down.

Everyone on the team was wearing a tactical mask with a small red dot moving rapidly on the display in front of their eyes.

Scott realized with growing unease that the dot represented his own movements and that the team had found a way to locate him even in his Antman form.

Cii~

As the armed team tightly surrounded the old community, a voice rang through their internal communication. “The capture team is responsible for encircling the battlefield and cleaning up, while the battle is handed over to Team S,” the voice commanded.

Upon hearing this order, the armed squad of more than 20 people immediately stopped in their tracks, each finding the best position to control their angle of attack.

They tightly gripped their weapons, ready to deal with Antman if needed, but their main goal was to ensure that Scott would not escape and that the capture process would go smoothly.

“Huh? They seem to have stopped. Did they give up?” To Scott, who was running quickly through the alleys, it seemed like the teams surrounding him had suddenly stopped.

He couldn’t help but wonder if they had given up, but he remained cautious, knowing that the danger was far from over.

Buzz Buzz!

Scott was about to control his flying ants to fly high into the sky to a.s.sess the situation when a sudden burst of noise caught his attention. To his surprise, ten small figures just like him rushed towards him – it was a team of Antmen!

These ten Antman suits were part of the deal between Darren Cross and the forces behind him, who had also been given PymParticles. With this technology at their disposal, the ten Antman suits had the potential to be a formidable force.

However, in order to secure more PymParticles and Antman suits, the forces behind Cross had sent their most powerful team to capture Scott.

In addition to the high-tech armed team, the Antman team was their best bet to capture Scott. No other team had the same level of expertise and ability to complete this mission.

Hurrah!

As the ten Antman warriors rushed towards him, Scott’s face contorted into a scowl. He had interrogated Darren Cross the previous night, but despite not revealing much, Scott had deduced that Cross had made a deal with some powerful forces.

He had expected Cross to have sent some Antman suits to his ally, but never in his wildest dreams had he antic.i.p.ated that Cross would send ten Antman suits at once.

“Darren Cross is insane!” Scott yelled, trying to maintain control of the flying ant beneath him as he made a sharp turn to evade the attackers. “Ten Antman suits and so many PymParticles! How on earth did he get the resources for all of this?!”

The production cost of an Antman suit was exorbitant. The materials required for its construction were extremely rare, and the cost of developing PymParticles was even higher.

The output was incredibly low, making it all the more difficult to acquire the necessary resources.

It was hard to imagine how Darren Cross had managed to produce so many Antman suits and PymParticles in such a short period of time, especially with Pym Technologies’ limited financial resources.

Regardless of how Cross had managed it, Scott was faced with a dire situation. Cross had already brought five Antman fighters the previous night, almost killing Scott in the process.

Now, with ten fighters hot on his heels, Scott had no intention of fighting back. His only goal was to escape.

“Team A, Squad B, cover me!” Scott shouted the order, almost certain of its suicidal nature.

As much as he hated to put his trust in Team A and Team B’s flying ants to face off against the Antman fighters, Scott had no other option.

It was daytime, and the news had already reported on his giant form from the previous night. He couldn’t risk transforming into a giant again without being prepared for an even worse outcome.

Buzz Buzz!

As soon as Scott gave the order, the flying ants of Team A and Team B swiftly broke away from the main force and rushed towards the ten Antman fighters, their wings flapping furiously. In no time, the two teams clashed in mid-air.

It was like watching two swarms of flying insects engage in combat. The black flying ant team vastly outnumbered the yellow Antman team, and they quickly swarmed around their opponents, enveloping them like a cloud of sand.

The fast-moving Antman fighters were suddenly surrounded, and they found themselves struggling to keep up.

At first, the flying ants of Team A and Team B seemed to have the upper hand, thanks to their numerical and racial advantages. They were more flexible, stronger, and had a better defenses.

The Antman team, which had little experience in actual combat, found themselves struggling to cope with their attackers. Some of them were even hit by a few flying ants, causing them to spiral out of control.

However, as the battle raged on, the Antman fighters quickly adapted to their opponents. Despite facing an overwhelming number of flying ants, each warrior launched their own counterattack.

Suddenly, a dozen tiny laser beams flashed amidst the black sand of flying ants. Each beam penetrated the body and wings of one or two flying ants, causing them to fall from the sky.

Huh~

Pū Pū Pū!

The Antman fighters launched a ferocious counterattack, and the flying ants of Team A and Team B started falling from the sky one by one, either dead or injured.

Some fell to the ground with broken wings and legs, struggling to survive as their lives slowly slipped away. It was a brutal sight, but Scott and Dr. Pym were perhaps the only ones who truly cared about the fate of these tiny insects.

Swipe!

Having eliminated the flying ants, the Antman squad resumed their pursuit of Scott who had not been able to fly too far during the distraction.
