Battle of New York, Part 2
Xia Yu didn't have time to ask any more questions, because a portal had already opened in the sky and seemed to be expanding. Xia Yu could even see the Chitauri soldiers poised to attack through the small hole.
"Summer, do you have any plans?" Tony asked.
"No, let's fight first. I'll go up and hold them off, you stay down here and deal with the stragglers." Xia Yu finished speaking and flew up with a whoosh. Xia Yu wasn't stupid; while the cave wasn't big yet and was densely packed with people, he would harvest a wave first.
"Did you inhale some kind of stimulant on the mothership?" Tony muttered as he watched Xia Yu whiz past him.
When Xia Yu to the teleportation entrance, the opening was less than a meter in diameter. Without hesitation, Xia Yu unleashed his full power, not even glancing at the target inside, and began slamming his palms against the opening with all his might.
Tmall!
"Yes, Master."
"Why is there no Points notification? I've killed quite a few." Xia Yu watched as he killed many Chitauri soldiers inside the cave, but there was no Points notification.
"It will be automatically recorded, and the settlement will be made all at once after the task is completed, Master."
Xia Yu stopped talking and focused on killing monsters. The guns in the hands of the ordinary Chitauri soldiers couldn't even break through Xia Yu's True Qi. His Internal Energy, purified by the Eternal Flame, had a natural advantage in defending against these low-yield energy weapons.
The opening was expanding at a decent rate, already about three meters wide, but it was still within Xia Yu's attack range. Xia Yu didn't draw his Heaven Reliant Sword, relying instead on the long-range attacks of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms and the rapid, regenerative abilities of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to keep the Chitauri army firmly outside the portal.
"Xia, how's it going over there? Has the portal opened?" Natasha's voice came through the earpiece.
Xia Yu was too busy racking up points to pay attention to anything else; he had no time to answer Natasha's question, and frankly, he definitely hadn't heard her.
"Ahem... Natasha, Xia probably doesn't have time to answer your question. The portal has already opened and is gradually expanding. Xia is working hard to eliminate the enemy." Tony was a little embarrassed; he didn't know what to do.
Natasha was getting anxious. "Hold on a bit, we're on our way."
"No rush, no rush, take your time, safety first. I'm pretty free here," Tony said somewhat awkwardly.
As the battle progressed, Xia Yu discovered a pattern: the larger the portal opened by the Tesseract, the slower it expanded. Otherwise, why would the Leviathan dragon-shaped spacecraft appear after only opening two or three meters at the beginning of the movie?
A minute has passed, and the opening has grown from three meters to about four meters.
The Tesseract opened a portal, and an alien army attacked Earth. The entire New York City was peaceful and calm, except for the occasional debris falling from beneath Stark Tower.
Many people in the distance couldn't see what was happening, so they took out their phones and started filming from where they were.
When Natasha and the others arrived, they saw a strange atmosphere. Tony, wearing his Armor, stood blankly in mid-air, gazing at the sky. Above Xia Yu guarded a wormhole less than five meters wide, constantly striking out with his hands. Often, a single palm strike could pierce through seven or eight Chitauri soldiers, yet not a single alien could emerge intact from the portal.
Captain America reacted faster. "Let's go down and organize the evacuation. The portal is constantly expanding; Xia can't block it forever. There are too many onlookers down there. Tony, you stay here and provide additional firepower. Where's Thor?"
"I'm on top of the tower, Captain. Loki just stabbed me and I don't know where he went." Thor appeared on the platform of Stark Tower, just like in the movies, having been ambushed and stabbed by Loki.
"You set up the third line of defense down here. If anyone manages to escape from Tony, just shock them hard. Can't you summon Flash?" the Captain quickly instructed.
The cave entrance was widening, and Xia Yu could now see the massive Chitauri Mothership behind him. The Chitauri soldiers' fire at Xia Yu was becoming increasingly dense, and his Internal Energy consumption was increasing several times over. It was no longer realistic to remain motionless and use the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms to guard the cave entrance.
Xia Yu had no choice but to give up the lure of Points. He drew the Heaven Reliant Sword with his right hand, held it in his left palm, and began to use his Armor to conduct rapid and agile maneuvers in the air, aiming to kill as many enemies as possible.
As Xia Yu changed his tactics, Tony also began roaming and killing from below, while Thor below transformed into a mage wielding a hammer, using Flash to finish off enemies from a distance.
However, as time went on, the pressure on the three lines of defense formed by these three men began to increase, and more and more soldiers evaded their attacks and ran into New York City, where they began indiscriminately firing.
The entire Lower Manhattan was thrown into chaos.
Captain America had just arrived in time to save a girl who was standing blankly by the roadside. He glanced at the sky and noticed that the defensive line was getting further away. He immediately spoke up to redeploy, saying, "You only need to leave one person on your side. More and more people are coming out, and there are many people here who need help."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu immediately replied, "I'll stay here, but before I leave, I need to do something big. Tony, Thor, cooperate with me."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he took out a box of Missiles from his ring and threw it towards the hole with all his might. "Tony, now!" Xia Yu shouted.
Tony immediately extended his right arm, and a miniature Missile was fired from his Armor, hitting the box that Xia Yu had thrown.
"BOOM!~!~!"
Stark's weapons were of guaranteed quality, and they quickly cleared the hole, which was already about ten meters wide. A large number of the Chitauri soldiers waiting in line to attack were also killed. However, this empty space lasted for less than a second before it was filled by the swarming soldiers that followed.
"Thor, is Flash ready? I need you to go all out." Xia Yu pulled out a Gatling again. (Why Gatling again? Because there are more bullets.)
Just as Xia Yu launched the Missile, Thor had already raised his hammer and summoned Flash for a long time. Now, he unleashed it all at once, blasting the densely packed Chitauri soldiers into dust.
Xia Yu began his solo struggle, but he discovered that using heavy firepower like the Gatling gun, with its high rate of fire and large number of bullets, was really effective at taking down small monsters. As he began firing at the densely packed soldiers, Xia Yu truly felt like he was playing a game and fighting zombies in his previous life.
However, this feeling didn't last long, because the Leviathan dragon-shaped flying vehicle appeared (from now on, we'll just call it Leviathan; you all know what it is). "Guys, the big guy's out! Hulk, are you ready?"
"Roar!" Hulk's roar came through the earpiece, indicating to Xia Yu that he had already come out.
"I'll try not to let the big guys get through. If any slip through, Hulk and Thor should clean them up immediately. This thing is too destructive." Xia Yu drew his Heaven Reliant Sword and charged towards Leviathan.
"Xia, do you need me to go over and help you deal with that big guy?" Tony glanced at the wormhole; the spacecraft was so huge, he was worried Xia Yu might get hurt.
"No need. Just keep them within these few blocks in the air, especially to the west. Don't let those bastards cross three blocks to the west." Xia Yu had already begun cutting off Leviathan's dragon head.
"I'll try, but could you tell me why it's to the west? Are there residential areas over there?" Tony was flying rapidly around the battlefield.
"I don't know, but Chinatown is over there, that's where my house is. Why did you build this damn skyscraper in Manhattan? I hate you, Tony." Xia Yu plunged his sword fiercely into the head of Leviathan.
