Battle of New York, part three
For the Heaven Reliant Sword, Leviathan was a bit too thick. While dealing with the large number of Chitauri soldiers jumping out from the side of Leviathan, Xia Yu tried his best to tear a hole as large as possible in the back of Leviathan's head.
After much effort, Xia Yu finally managed to create a deep enough hole. He took out seven or eight grenades from his ring, threw them all in without even looking, and then quickly flew away after biting off the pin on the last Xia Yu.
Leviathan's outer shell was indeed tough enough; so many grenades couldn't blast it in two. Its massive body narrowly missed Stark Tower and crashed heavily to the ground. A nearby building was only lightly grazed, like a bubble, and a significant amount of steel and concrete was knocked off a corner of the building.
Xia Yu was being carried by the Leviathan so close to the ground that he looked up and saw at least a dozen of them trying to emerge from the portal. Forget about Points, Xia Yu yelled, "Thor, send another big one!"
Thor's summoned Flash are the bane of most mechanical beings; a single Flash can send sparks flying and likely burn out the circuitry, except for Tony's monstrous suit of Armor, of course.
Thor flew directly to the top of a building, raised his hammer, and summoned Flash. The entire building seemed like a giant lightning rod, as if it were connected to Thor. Surrounding the giant Flash, a dark cloud rolled up above Thor's head, from which bolts of Flash leaped out and struck Thor's hammer.
Nearly at its limit, Thor swung his hammer, and a bolt of Flash more than half a meter in diameter struck the head of Leviathan that was about to fly out of the wormhole. The current quickly passed through its massive body, flashing with streaks of blue lightning and interspersed with sparks from burnt circuitry. Soon, the Leviathan lost power and fell to the ground.
Thor's Flash had already passed through the Leviathan's body, connecting it to at least seven or eight other Leviathans and dozens of Chitauri soldiers riding flying vehicles.
The powerful blow made Xia Yu secretly feel sorry for his Points. He wished everyone could score Points for him.
Thor was temporarily left to handle the portal, while Xia Yu imitated Tony's flying maneuvers across the battlefield, killing monsters as he went while trying to keep the battlefield within a certain area.
The streets were filled with people shouting and yelling, and some police officers did their best to organize and help civilians take refuge in buildings or underground parking garages.
Natasha and Hawkeye were using several taxis as cover to exchange fire with a group of Chitauri soldiers on the ground. Just like in the movies, one of them was holding two small pistols and the other was shooting arrows. They were fighting quite evenly.
Xia Yu flew over, casually dispatching several soldiers who were exchanging fire with them with a single sword stroke along the way.
"Your equipment and skills aren't suited for fighting regular soldiers like this; it's too slow. I'll be your arsenal." Xia Yu casually pulled out several heavy machine guns and a few rifles and threw them on the ground.
He then took out several more boxes of bullets and grenades and had Natasha put them into her ring.
"We don't know how long this battle will last. Save your energy and equipment. Use these for now. Anyway, these soldiers are all one-shot kills, so it doesn't matter." Xia Yu didn't have time to say anything caring. He exchanged a cautious glance with Natasha and flew off again.
"Bang!" Xia Yu, who was flying in mid-air, was knocked away by Iron Man, and the two rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
"Tony, what's going on?" Xia Yu stood up, casually pulled out an AK, and began firing at the Chitauri soldiers on the building's wall.
"Do you know the story of Jonah?" Tony asked, pointing to the Leviathan that had exploded from the inside in the distance; it was clear he had been blasted out from within.
"Then you should stay inside for three days and three nights. God will protect you." Xia Yu reached out and helped Tony up. (The story of Jonah, Bible tale, tells of Jonah staying inside a giant fish for three days and three nights.)
"I don't see Thor." Tony used the radiation cannon to quickly clear out the Chitauri soldiers in front of him.
"Where should he deal with the big guys?" Xia Yu finished clearing out the soldiers visible on the facades of several nearby buildings, then took to the air again. He was going to find a Leviathan to kill too.
"Why didn't he invite me?" Tony also got up and flew away.
Xia Yu ascended to high altitude and took a unified look at the battlefield. Perhaps due to the limitations of filming, he discovered that there were far more Leviathans than seen in the movies. Xia Yu glanced around and saw at least a dozen more flying in the sky.
"Tony, could we try to lure as many as possible and take them out together? If these guys keep flying like that, there won't be a single building over twenty stories in Manhattan tomorrow." Xia Yu wanted to find a place to deal with the larger ones.
"I'll go lure a few over here first. You find out where Thor and Hulk are. It'd be best to take them out on the bridge over there; it's a big place and nobody's around." Tony quickly activated the small weapon on his arm armor to draw Leviathan's aggro.
"Everyone, go to the bridge over there. Loki is definitely directing things from the shadows. I've noticed these troops are prioritizing our attacks." The Captain, slightly out of breath, had just caught a small bomb with his shield.
"I'll go get Natasha and Hawkeye first." Xia Yu quickly led Hawkeye and Natasha to the bridge, which was full of empty cars. The two of them could set up a firing point there and also draw some of the Chitauri soldiers' fire.
"Tony, let me know when you come over. Captain, are you still able to run? Do you need me to pick you up?" Xia Yu asked.
Captain America's classic line, "I could fight like this all day," came through my headphones.
"Xia, I'm here. I'm followed by three others. You'd better hurry."
Upon hearing Tony's words, Xia Yu quickly flew over. He saw Tony flying low, followed by three Leviathans, with Thor landing on the head of one of them.
Xia Yu also plunged his sword deep into the neck of another bird, pulled out the Heaven Reliant Sword, and with his palm filled with Internal Energy, transformed his palm into a blade and fiercely stabbed it into the gap of the Heaven Reliant Sword, striking it with all his might.
"Hurry up, you two! I have another one here, where's Hulk?" Tony yelled.
"Roar!~!"
Hulk suddenly appeared on the bridge and charged towards the last Leviathan. He punched the Leviathan's head with his right fist, forcing the huge, high-speed aircraft to a stop Hulk.
However, Hulk's right fist remained firmly planted against Leviathan's dragon head, and his feet dragged two small craters into the ground.
Hulk delivered a powerful punch, instantly destroying one Leviathan. Xia Yu and Thor also took care of the other two. The group flew or jumped to Hawkeye and Natasha's side, while Captain had already arrived.
Xia Yu and Iron Man floated more than a meter above the ground. In front of them was the roaring Hulk, and further ahead were Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, forming a semi-circle.
As the Avengers assembled, the Leviathans and ordinary Chitauri soldiers around them swarmed towards them as if drawn by a magnet.
"Roar!~!~!"
