The spider surprises Apex by how quickly he recovers from his thunderclap, proving how resilient the hero is compared to most combatants he's fought which usually take longer. With Chase's attack successful, the Green Titan finds himself knocked down. At a thousand pounds, it's incredible Chase manages to do it. But the hero strikes like a missile.
If Chase had performed his dislocating shoulder move on a human, it would have worked. But Apex is no mere human, is something far more. So, the best Chase can hope for is numbing his shoulder, which succeeds. Unfortunately for Chase, Apex heals from that in seconds as the numbness vanishes quickly. He attempts to head butt Chase, "Then leave." Even now, Apex holds back. He could have applied much more force, but he doesn't want to kill Chase. So this attempt has only enough force to perhaps break his nose IF it connects or at least stun him maybe.
Succeed or fail, Apex rises and that's when he sees Ryan's next move. He's thinking that is what he was planning. And he also sees his attack with that thunderclap didn't effect Ryan at all. But the Jade Titan is not dissuaded from that as the liquid fire seeps inside every pore, lighting him on fire from within. The heat is felt, he screams in pain. But one thing Ryan fails to realize is that Apex is just as resistant to injury on the inside as he is on the outside. Still, Apex gets the intent and he plays it up for all it's worth. It DOES cause him immense pain so he doesn't have to fake it too much. But due to his healing factor, it's not the incinerating move Ryan was hoping for.
But they don't know that. At least, Apex hopes. Otherwise, this fight might continue for a needlessly long time. And with Ryan's fire abilities, that puts the entire forest at risk. The forest is Apex's home, plus countless animals and people living in the remote areas.
"AAAAHHHHHHHGG!" He screams in pain. Then when the attack ends, Apex falls on his knees before falling flat on his face. He doesn't move. He holds his breath, pretending to be dead and hoping his ruse works because if it does, they will leave.
