Central Park Perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait. I will make you pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>General Ross stared at the frozen wasteland that used to be Central Park. His eyes burned with humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's not a mutant,\" Ross realized. \"The Cure didn't work. His power isn't genetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminded him of supernatural entities. Like the Ghost Rider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He controls Connelly,\" Ross sighed. \"But he only has 18% of Oscorp. I can still use Harry Osborn to block him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a thick mist surrounded the convoy. The temperature plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enemy attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers gasped for air as the mist suffocated them. One by one, they collapsed, unconscious from hypoxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross drew his sidearm and aimed at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armored door was torn off its hinges like paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross emptied his magazine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clink. Clink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent caught every bullet. He stepped into the vehicle and sat opposite the General.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When disaster strikes, does the government rely on your bullets to stop aliens?\" Vincent asked, flicking a bullet back at Ross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are not gods,\" Ross said stoically. \"But we protect this country. You... you create suffering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suffering? Like the Hulk? Like the Abomination?\" Vincent smirked. \"You create monsters, General. Then you hunt them down to cover your mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross's jaw tightened. \"The military will hunt you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With what?\" Vincent leaned in. \"Your eleven carrier strike groups? Your hundreds of bases? General, do you want me to be a law-abiding billionaire student... or the Ice Demon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think carefully. I just want to be a humble rich guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent hopped out of the vehicle and vanished into the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross was left shaking. It was a threat. Leave me alone, or I sink your navy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ross knew he could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a team,\" Ross muttered, his resolve hardening. \"A team of monsters to kill a monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderbolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had his candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry Osborn. A boy consumed by hatred.The Abomination. Emil Blonsky, currently on ice in the Vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry,\" Ross whispered. \"Are you ready for revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Central Park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry Osborn soared through the sky on his glider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe... interesting,\" Harry laughed maniacally. \"The Ice Demon freezes the city. The Spider-Beast kills my father. And I... I am the Green Goblin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the frozen park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New York, are you ready for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jarvis, simulate the temperature required to create this ice,\" Tony Stark ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, thermal readings indicate an instant drop to -270°C. Near absolute zero,\" Jarvis reported. \"The Mark IV suit would freeze instantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony frowned. \"Absolute zero... That's not just cold. That's the absence of energy. Entropy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started designing a new suit. An anti-freeze system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a heat source. A big one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner arrived late due to the chaos outside. Vincent didn't mind. He was starving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, he sat on his sofa. Gwen had left earlier, her suit torn again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to open the box.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Red Blind Box x1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had two, but he decided to open the one from the Peter Parker fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, open it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy red box appeared. Vincent lifted the lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside sat a fruit. A swirling, flame-patterned fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Devil Fruit?\" Vincent blinked. \"The Flame-Flame Fruit (Mera Mera no Mi)?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations! You have obtained the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, my name is Vincent (Ice), not Ace. Are you trying to turn me into Fire Fist Ace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System products are modified. No side effects. You can consume multiple fruits.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No exploding body? Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent took a bite. It tasted sweet—another system modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive surge of heat exploded in his gut. It clashed with the cold energy of the Ice-Ice Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire and Ice. Yin and Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of destroying him, they balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flame-Flame Fruit: Mastery Level (Intermediate).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, upgrade it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cost: 30 Million Wealth Points.

Vincent panicked. If he lost control, he'd burn Manhattan down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He encased himself in a sphere of absolute zero ice to contain the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the sphere, blue flames danced with white frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Awakening Complete: Flame-Flame Fruit (Tier 2).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Alert: Upgrade to Tier 2 Peak?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cost: 400 Million Wealth Points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why 400 million? The Ice Fruit was cheaper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Extra cost to harmonize the conflicting energies.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent sighed. \"Fine.
