Chomp? Or not to chomp?

OM NOM NOM NOM!

My mask opened wide, biting down the moment that hammer got close to connecting... I had no idea what it sounds or FEELS like to BITE THROUGH the materials making up the hammer. Before this moment... Now I'm wishing I still LACKED that information... A moment later and time had frozen once more for me, another red notification popping up and requiring a choice be made today.

Congratulations! You've absorbed a unique item! Please choose a unique bonus ability/power to be gained!
1.Thunder's Wrath- Further improves your lightning abilities, improving damage, range of attack, control over such energies and ignoring of defenses.
2.Godling's first BONK- Allows you to now generate and manipulate Concussive ****. This bonus also allows you to start unlocking ALL types of ****, allowing you to learn how to manipulate, generate and control any type of **** you wish to learn about.
3.Asgardian Warlord- Grants you Asgardian Physiology, considerably improving upon your physical body but leaving you registering as human to all tests. Also improves your strength, durability, stamina and endurance.

Oh this was an interesting choice... It gave me a 1 minute countdown, allowing me to either choose one now or answer later. I chose too decide later on, returning to the fight to see Thor with a look of absolute FEAR and TERROR in his eyes. He dropped to his knee's a moment later staring at the shattered remains of the handle for his former hammer. That's when I got to read another new notification.

You have inflicted the status effect: TERRIFIED! Terrified causes psychic damage to an opponent for a period of time. It also causes them to try and run away out of fear. Lastly there is an additional effect when caused on an enemy outside of training.

Just as I finished reading that, Thor spun and began to run. I didn't wait or allow him to escape, chasing him down and managing to get hold of him... I was able to grab his ankles and slammed him spine first back against a wall except... I overshot, his spine slammed onto a jutting out corner accompanied by a sickening set of cracks and loud CRACK. Thor vanishes like a cloud of fog dissipating a moment later as his limp body drops to the ground.

I moved quick as I could to help the others fight back, arriving in time to leap forward and knee strike Cage right in in his spine. His body sent forward even as Mammoth leaps forward and slams a haymaker into Cage's face, smashing the huge man into the concrete flooring. I don't take the chance of giving him a moment to react, I ended up stomping down on his head right as it bounces off the floor. Mammoth follows up, continuing to smash his fists down onto Cage as the last of his health bar breaks away in small chunks. It takes another half minute for Mammoth to finish off Cage, but when he does there is only one enemy left.

I catch sight of how Cap is struggling to defend himself, overwhelmed with blasts from Jinx and See-more, Billy's numerous clones swarming Cap as much as they could, Gizmo using gadgets and whatnot to try and keep Cap off balance. It's when Mammoth comes charging in and tackle's Cap through a pillar before throwing him against a wall. As Cap gets up he throws his shield bouncing it off several Billy clones, off of Mammoth's chest and flying towards Jinx's neck. I leaped into the pathway without thinking, but my mask's mouth opened wide on reaction... Cause after all why should I stop eating weapons and armor if people are gonna keep THROWING such things at me?!

You've EATEN Captain America's Shield! Congrats on consuming another unique weapon! Enjoy more choices you little over achiever!
1.Hybrid Skeleton - Grants your body the effect of being able to absorb **** and compound it onto your physical attacks to improve your damage or knockback **** further.
2.I SEE FASTER - Causes your ranged attacks to bounce and ricochet to hit targets even if they miss. This also allows such attacks to IGNORE some defenses. This aspect can be improved further with training and practice.
3.Shield Wall - Improves the defense, durability and toughness of barriers, shields or walls made by you.

Huh. I feel like I'm being sassed by that damn voice again, or is that Wade person messing with me again...? Questions for later, and another choice I'll have to make later on. First things first I charged at Cap and well... For as strong as he is, he's still human. Superhuman sure, but effectively he's mostly just a man. He's so distracted by my mask opening wide like it's gonna bite his head off, that he doesn't notice the swing of my axe until it's dug into his chest where his heart is, destroying the last chunk of his health bar and causing him to vanish as well.

With that done finally, at LONG last we were done with the floor. We didn't get to head to the next floor of the tower yet though, because the room shifted. Walls opened up, couches, and beds appeared, a huge full kitchen popped up with a few refrigerators just PACKED with food. Finally there was a screen near the far wall, next to the door leading to the next floor that had a message. The message explained that we would be able to rest here as long as we wished too, that we could even go to SLEEP if we wanted without losing time. It also pointed out a few lockers containing an abundance of resources and rewards from beating the floor, alongside that was additional ammo and replacements for gadgets that or anything that was used up or broken.

A few of us chose to get some rest, certainly didn't blame them either. Billy was incredibly tired apparently, See-more was more used to using his helmet to fly around rather than walk up dozens upon dozens of flights of stairs. Private made a joke along the lines of it being leg day. Mammoth went to go eat while gizmo helped with getting things cooked up, apparently he had a few gadgets made just for feeding Mammoth.

When we did finally continue on after everyone had rested up and re-armed, we fought through the next 10 floors without too much difficulty. We did end up having to fight against a pair of bosses when we hit floor 70.

TEAM BOSS FIGHT! VERSUS SHOCKER, MISTER NEGATIVE & SHRIEK!
Name: Herman Schults AKA Shocker LVL 200
Name: Mister Negative LVL 300
Name: Louise Barrison AKA Shriek LVL 300

So fighting those three wasn't too terrible, aside from everyone needing to take a few minutes to fix their hearing. Between the shockwaves Shocker fired at us, Mr Negative trying to corrupt and turn Billy against us, then the sonic sound attacks of Shriek? Yeah our ears were HURTING by the end of that fight. I went after Shocker first, I should have gone for Shriek though...

Turns out without his suits most important components, he wasn't able to do anything but try to fist fight us. He basically got made to bite the curb by a VERY pissed off Jinx who was bleeding from her ears at the time. With the weak one down the others began to focus on taking out Mister Negative, while I went to deal with Shriek. She screamed at me with that Sonic attack of hers again, my mask helping to block out her attack for the most part, but it couldn't keep her completely out. Thankfully it worked long enough for me to charge and tackle her through a wall. The good news is that she was so out of it and dizzy she couldn't focus on me. I saw her left eye shine as she looked up into my eyes with an almost insane smile on her face.

WARNING! An enemy has tried to attack your mind! They are not strong enough to get past your Mask. Their attempt is being nullified. Your team however is NOT immune to such an ability.

Reading that message took a few seconds, which she used to start gently pulling herself free of my grasp. She even tried to direct me to attack my team! She was thoroughly caught off guard when I hit her with an uppercut though. She lost a LARGE chunk of health, stumbling on her legs as she was clearly stunned. My next attack was both axes slashing into her shoulders. She tried taking a breath to scream at me pointblank, I turned my body enough to spin kick into her torso, knocking the air out of her and cutting off her attack before it could start. From there it took little time to remove her from the fight, her body vanishing like many other enemies before. With that done I turned my attention back to the glow stick man, only to see everyone else staying away from him, trying to keep him from getting close.

He wasn't expecting to get knocked flat when I smashed my way through a wall from behind him. I started beating down onto his form before his hand grabbed onto my neck and a moment later I was...

Somewhere else?
