Fighting the Annihilation Wave 5

Jack really hoped he wasn't so unlucky that right after he entered the Negative Zone, Loki would decide to invade Earth with the Chitauri army, so he could hope that a few days would pass on Earth.

If the worst happened, he knew that the heroes who were on Earth and the rest of the members of the Fantastic Four with Franklin Richards would be able to protect New York with few deaths, it would be Reed's fault if that happened.

Weeks passed in the Negative Zone, and Johnny was getting sadder and more discouraged, Jack couldn't see how Johnny had survived staying in the Negative Zone for 2 years, being eaten by bugs several times to revive and still managed to trap Annihilus, whom even Jack had no confidence to face.

"Jack, I'm getting tired of this place, did Reed forget about us? It must have been at least several hours on Earth if you're right, if you're wrong, it's been several days on Earth," said Johnny.

Jack didn't tell Johnny that it had already been a few weeks on Earth because he was worried that he would become more depressed than he was now, but it was good that Johnny hadn't died and suffered even though now he missed the chance to mature and get stronger.

"Don't worry, Johnny, you know Ben, Reed, Susan, and the kids love you, do you remember how Ben and the kids were sad when you closed the portal and stayed in the Negative Zone?" said Jack.

"Reed and Susan must be busy doing something very important and haven't returned to Earth yet, otherwise Reed would definitely be trying to open the portal," said Jack.

"Even if Reed didn't think about opening the portal, Susan wouldn't allow it, you grew up with your sister, you know how much she loves you, let's be patient," said Jack.

"You're right, Jack, I don't know what's happening to me, I've been stuck in places like this with the Fantastic Four, and thanks to you, we have good food, water, and a place to sleep, I stayed behind to die and should be happy to be alive," said Johnny.

"It's okay to be sad, even I who am more resilient am getting sick of this place, you must be even worse off," said Jack.

After all, Jack was able to keep fighting against the Annihilation Wave because he was gaining FP, but he was still getting depressed and only managed to calm down after learning the real-time difference between the Negative Zone and Earth.

"But now, if I find out that Reed wasn't doing anything important when he left Earth, I'll melt his rubber with my flames," said Johnny angrily.

"You can count on me for that, I'll have a serious talk with Reed after this, and if he doesn't have a good explanation, I'll use magic to freeze and melt him, put him in a box, and destroy the portal to the Negative Zone," said Jack with anger.

Johnny shuddered at hearing Jack say that, he was only joking, but he felt that Jack would really try to do what he said if Reed didn't give a good explanation. Johnny could feel that Jack had become much stronger in the last few months in the Negative Zone.

If Reed took much longer, Jack might actually have the strength to do what he said when he returned to Earth. Jack also seemed to know Reed's main weaknesses, which were extreme temperature changes.

So time continued to pass, and Jack realized why Johnny seemed sadder. Johnny's ability to control flames seemed to have decreased a lot, he heard that if the members of the Fantastic Four were separated, their power decreased.

For the other members of the Fantastic Four, only a few days had passed, but Johnny had been separated from the others for months. Fortunately, Jack knew it would take at least three years for Johnny to no longer be able to fight.

After so many months in the Negative Zone, Annihilus also began to find it strange that Reed had not come to get Johnny. He asked the Anti-Priest of the Cult of the Negative Zone, who said that nothing unusual had happened on Earth.

Annihilus intended to capture Johnny and kill him multiple times to make him open the portal to Earth. That's why, even though he could see that Jack (Annihilus didn't know his name) and Johnny could easily escape, he didn't give up on keeping his army chasing them.

After all, Annihilus knew Johnny's powers well and knew that he could tire quickly, making it easier for him to capture him. Annihilus knew that if Jack and the others in Iron Man armor didn't appear, he could have already captured Johnny.

After the conversation with Jack, even though Johnny's powers were weakening, he wasn't becoming more depressed. But it was impossible to be normal, so a few more months passed in the Negative Zone.

Jack and Johnny had been in the Negative Zone for six months, and it had already been a month on Earth. Jack had reached a force of nine tons and continued to get stronger, with just over 900 million FP.

If Jack had a force of 200 tons, he might already be able to buy unlimited magical potential, but that would still take several years. Jack's goal now was to at least be stronger than Spider-Man, who had just over 10 tons of strength.

Of course, Jack, as Reed had said in the past, was incredible because he could make every punch he threw have maximum strength, whereas Spider-Man would quickly tire if he used his maximum strength for a few minutes.

Jack knew that Spider-Man's greatest advantage was his great agility, which, combined with his great strength and Spider Sense, formed a strong and unique fighting style. But Jack was confident he could win even without using magic if he used the Raiton Chakura Mōdo.

With the Raiton Chakura Mōdo, he would have more speed and agility than Spider-Man and much more strength and defense. Jack believed that with the Raiton Chakura Mōdo and the immense amount of Chakra he had that only increased with his strength, he might even be able to hurt the Hulk in a fight with his current strength.

Johnny, who didn't know that Jack was gaining a lot by killing Annihilation Wave bugs, was increasingly impressed with Jack's mental strength, which continued to fight, and was certainly exhausted from fighting personally and still controlling the 14 clones.

After all, Jack said that after he released the clones, he received all the fighting experience they had during the 15 hours they were active. That's why Jack always canceled his jutsu every 15 hours, even though he could keep the clones forever with his current amount of Chakra.
