The Grand Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark looked at the assembly of heroes and villains. He was dumbfounded, but his heart raced with purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of Colonel Rhodes—War Machine—had cost Tony his best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew his own power wasn't enough to defeat the Ice Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he used Vincent's slaughter of 30,000 people to stoke the fear in the superhuman community, gathering them all here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic, stood beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed hated what Vincent had done—freezing the Vatican, destroying the Carrier Group, the tsunami. It was chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed believed he had found a way to neutralize the ice energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony respected Reed; he was one of the few people on Earth whose intellect matched his own. Together, they had built the Energy Dampeners specifically for this fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor Von Doom entered the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed spotted him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you're not here to cause trouble, Victor. We need to work together to stop the Ice Demon,\" Reed said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reed, the Ice Demon threatens all of us. His ice power could plunge the Earth into a new Ice Age. Do you understand what that means for humanity?\" Doom's voice was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that your prediction?\" Reed countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freezing the whole planet wasn't easy. And a slight temperature drop wouldn't kill humanity—it might even counteract global warming. But Reed knew extreme weather shifts would destroy civilization's stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is my prediction. But today, I won't argue. I'm here to fight. Our grudge can wait until after the Demon is dead,\" Doom turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the room. The Thing and Human Torch were there. But Sue Storm was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reed, be prepared. The Ice Demon has powerful telepathy. He can hijack minds and turn people into puppets,\" Doom warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Reed said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every person he killed in New York heard one sentence: The Hunt Begins. This wasn't random, Reed,\" Doom smiled beneath his mask, a grotesque expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Xavier is dead, but his power lives on in this monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed fell silent. Before he got his powers, he had witnessed Xavier's potential during the Apocalypse event. A telepath of that magnitude could enslave the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why kill 30,000 people in a second? Imagine the power required,\" Reed continued. \"If he has Xavier's mind and that level of energy... we can't win alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I'm here. Alone, we are nothing,\" Doom said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doom's eyes drifted to an elegant Asian man in a suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenwu. The Mandarin. Master of the Ten Rings. A warlord who had lived for a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doom was counting on Wenwu to be the main tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood a tall, bald priest in robes. He radiated benevolence and power. A holy light surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Angel of the Vatican.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must be ready. Anyone who attacks first will die,\" Doom announced to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chatter died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a golden ring sparked in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spark. Spark. WHOOSH.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A portal opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. That's the Sling Ring,\" Master Wong (who was attending from the NY Sanctum) whispered, his face changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally. It's a gift from the Ancient One. I quite like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent Hall stepped through the portal, straight from his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the crowd of heroes and villains in their colorful costumes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become the Public Enemy of the World... what an achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth: 97.5 Billion (Debt forgiven +13.6B).Desire Points: 783.5 Million.Abilities: All Tier 3 \u002F Peak. Omega Beams (Novice).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the debt wiped, his wealth skyrocketed. Fear generated massive Desire Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now peak Father-Level. He feared no one here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except... the man with the Ten Rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenwu. His energy signature was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark stepped forward in a suit, eyes burning with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tony. I'm disappointed. I thought you were smart,\" Vincent sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You killed Rhodey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He conspired against me. Oh look, Viper and Doom are here too. I thought the masterminds would have run away,\" Vincent looked past Tony to Doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You plotted for the Super Soldier Serum. You spread rumors about my identity to make me the world's enemy. And now you're here to 'judge' me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's voice cut through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calling you Ice Demon is wrong. You are a monster,\" Doom said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who gives you confidence? The thousand-year-old Mandarin? The Vatican's Angel? Or the vampire lord Dracula hiding in the shadows?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence exerted a terrifying pressure. Weaker supers lowered their heads, pale and trembling. Only the veterans stood firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you delivered yourself, someone will deal with you,\" Doom stepped back behind Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed had to step up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice Demon. Your crimes are known. Surrender. We don't want to kill you,\" Reed said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Fantastic. Smartest man alive. In your eyes, I am a criminal? But do you know the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truth is no excuse for murder. Even if they were guilty, the courts should decide,\" Reed lectured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent hated this moralizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thing (Ben Grimm) and Human Torch (Johnny Storm) tensed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The world is foolish. The only court that can judge me is the Living Tribunal. But you can't even comprehend that level of existence,\" Vincent scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Living Tribunal or Celestials showed up, he'd be dead. But Reed Richards? Please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You froze the Vatican. You sank the fleet. No one is above the law,\" Reed shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! Desire Points +10 Million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd's fear spiked at the mention of his crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admire your guts. But who gave you the courage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talk!\" The Thing roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Clobberin' Time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben Grimm charged, throwing a massive rock-hard punch at Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent didn't dodge. He just hovered slightly so the floor wouldn't shatter from the impact transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch hit Vincent's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like hitting vibranium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent didn't move a millimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's hand blurred. He grabbed Ben's rocky arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped it like a twig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGHHH!\" Ben screamed, clutching his broken arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ben!\" Reed stretched his arms to pull Ben back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flame On!\" Johnny Storm shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blasted Vincent with a stream of supernova-hot fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent stood in the flames. His clothes burned away, revealing... nothing. His body turned into fire itself (Mera Mera no Mi).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire is nice. But your usage is disappointing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent walked through the flames toward Johnny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny looked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doom attacked. Lightning crackled from his gauntlets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hit Vincent's Man of Steel body and fizzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this is how you plan to kill me... I'm bored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breath of the Ice Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stream of Black Ice (Absolute Zero) mixed with Kryptonian Freeze Breath rolled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It froze the air. It froze the atoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed pushed Johnny out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breath hit the space behind them. The furniture, the walls... they didn't just freeze. They turned into atomic dust and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic. The hall erupted into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony froze in his armor. This is his true power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald priest stepped forward. He raised a cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy Light burst forth, clashing with the Black Ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light dimmed, struggled, but finally neutralized the breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Vatican. Haven't you learned your lesson?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed of Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reappeared holding Doom by the throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one saw him move. The kinetic energy from his sudden stop created a shockwave that shattered windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRUNCH.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crushed Doom's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Doom's magic armor kept him alive... barely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon! The Lord says you are guilty!\" The priest's eyes glowed. An angelic avatar appeared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If God himself came down, I might be worried. But you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent ignored the priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice spread from his hand onto Doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It ate through Doom's magical shields. It ate through his armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was devouring the very atoms of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Get The FULL AVAILABLE NOVEL at Once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get 70% OFF for limited time only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>@patreon.com\u002FAuthorizz\u002Fshop\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","a11479a850a1b32b13056ae4409ff8e54ab1b73f78d9f0d9a9f8fe415246aaed","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-105","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-103",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
