At this moment, Magneto realized that the spear had broken free of his control, his expression changed slightly, and a sense of frustration arose in his heart.

His abilities are more suited to Earth's environment and conventional materials. Once he encounters weapons that are not made on Earth, including those enhanced by spells and runes, his combat power will be greatly reduced.

In recent years, even among the new metals and synthetic materials naturally occurring on Earth, there have been many types that he cannot understand or manipulate.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Magneto had to face the fact that he was somewhat outdated.

However, Lao Wan, being a rational person with a clear mind, only felt sentimental for a moment before he used what was available to stomp his foot and send up a cloud of iron filings.

Dozens of solidified barriers landed in front of the three, while sharp iron shards spun out and slashed towards Proxima Midnight, the owner of the javelin.

However, conventional materials offer limited protection against specially forged alien weapons; the dozen or so metal shields were pierced by the rays after only a few seconds.

Then, these rays, which had received the instructions, relentlessly pursued Magneto and his two companions.

To make matters worse, Corvus Glaive took advantage of the chaos to slash at the three mutants with his sword, making it impossible for them to concentrate and activate their abilities.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, a voice rang in her mind, and Proxima Midnight subconsciously raised her hand. The beam of light that was originally pointing at the three mutants accelerated and crashed into her husband, General Corvus Glaive, in the chest.

Seeing the black mist re-emerge from the golden battle blade, Proxima Midnight, realizing she was being controlled, had a chilling expression.

There are still experts!

The superstar, skilled in mind control, telepathy, and memory transfer, narrowed his eyes, causing the air to vibrate violently.

At that moment, inside the underground bunker of the Mutant School, Professor X let out a muffled groan, as if struck by lightning, his face turning slightly pale.

Although his mental strength was even greater than that of a superstar in the previous clash, his body couldn't withstand the aftershocks.

A nagging unease told him that if he continued to play this game of mental clashes with the superstar, he would definitely be the one to perish before her.

Furthermore, if this continues, and the enemy locks onto his coordinates and calls in a fleet to remotely bombard him, even a disabled person with great abilities cannot withstand real gunfire.

Therefore, Professor X had no choice but to abandon this off-site assistance and continue to coordinate with ordinary soldiers to maintain the front line.

Since the onset of frequent natural disasters, the fatal flaws of mutants have become increasingly apparent over time.

Physical enhancement types have limited mental strength and are difficult to advance to higher levels.

They are superpowered individuals with fragile bodies, long cooldowns, and are easily interfered with. If you're not careful, an ordinary person could easily kill them with a small knife.

Without a doubt, the awakening of their talents by these inheritors of the Eternal Race is a sign of destiny.

However, their decline also stemmed from their over-reliance on talent, while ignoring and resisting other forms of evolution.

Ultimately, they inevitably fell behind the times, and even the combined efforts of the four powerhouses could not turn the tide.

With their attention now focused on the New York battlefield, after the three had temporarily resolved the immediate crisis, Wanda and Jean continued their fight against Corvus Glaive, seeking neither merit nor fault.

Having broken free from the encirclement, Proxima Midnight was once again entangled by the Avengers and continued to be beaten up by their righteous might.

The Hulk, with equally astonishing physical abilities, was tasked with intercepting the black dwarf. The two giants transformed into a city demolition team, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

As for the supergiant, known as the cosmic scout, it was assigned to Captain Marvel, who is known for its speed.

Magneto, who came to help his daughter, wisely retreated back to the X-Men's camp, joining forces with Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and other average Super Hero to fight off the rampaging mid-to-high-level soldiers.

"Boom!"

On the ruins of the Empire State Building, Thanos, fighting three opponents single-handedly, gained the upper hand. After repelling Kevin and the others once again, he looked down at the three men with disdain.

Immediately, the king of Titan Star, his face as calm as still water, clenched his right fist, which was adorned with the Infinity Gauntlet, and the purple Power Stone shone brightly.

When Thanos took a step and pulled with all his might, the ground beneath everyone's feet sank violently, and the chasm that opened up almost split the entire New York City in two.

Meanwhile, a blue and white waterline swept across the area behind the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast.

Within seconds, waves hundreds of meters high had risen on the sea, and the abandoned ship was smashed to pieces.

Even more deadly is... the sky!

The satellite known as the Moon is being pulled off its original orbit by the Power Stone and is hurtling towards Earth!

Chapter 951, Section 994: The Warrior of Pegasus

Latin America, the Pacific Region, a narrow strip of land bordering the north and south.

Dozens of Floating Battleship changed course and traveled by water, leaving the shore. Along the way, in the forest on the right, waves of earth churned up, large numbers of trees snapped and fell, and raging flames spread in all directions.

While water transport is not as fast or convenient as air transport, it can reduce engine power and decrease the likelihood of being targeted by the Dark Elves fleet.

These are all lessons they learned through blood and tears in battle.

Hundreds of Vanguard Landing Pod! And a large number of Fire Giant! The South American branch is completely wiped out!

The Snow Wolf Squad 'Valkyrie Shub slammed her fist angrily against the ship's side, glaring resentfully at the Vanguard Group on land, which resembled a dense swarm of black ants.

South America is an underdeveloped region, and very few countries have defense infrastructure that is truly impressive.

In addition, the dense jungle, complex terrain, and vast depth mean that a small force thrown in would barely make a ripple.

After all, engaging in open-world combat with these instinctive monsters in the jungle is practically suicidal.

Of course, at this point in the fierce battle, reinforcements did arrive.

However, the Maritime Terminator Force has lost contact.

With the entire world engulfed in chaos, such a high-intensity Interstellar War makes it extremely difficult to spare troops from other locations.

After enduring nearly 40 hours of accumulated disadvantages, Shub was forced to retreat to the heavily fortified North American region in order to preserve her strength.

According to intelligence shared by the Dark Dimension Information Network, the SCP Foundation's Wolf Pack Squad is assembling towards the Panama Canal.

Once the two sides reunite, Earth will completely relinquish its claim to South America and launch strategic bombing campaigns, including large and medium-sized nuclear weapons and Solar Flare.

A pack of wolves? I've heard of them in South America; they're a formidable group. Hopefully, all goes well...

A red-haired Valkyrie, wielding a long spear, leaned over the ship's railing and tossed a cleanly chewed fruit pit into the water. The moment Shub turned around, layers of white bubbles rose to the surface of the sea.

We have about half an hour left on the journey, let's go check on Salome...

Salome is her staunch partner in the Snow Wolf Squad, and the two are jointly responsible for the defense of South America.

During the retreat, the woman's right shoulder was smashed by a Fire Giant while trying to save her, and the fire poison in her body has not yet been completely cleared.

"Clang..."

At that moment, as Shub walked, the ship suddenly rocked violently, making her feel nauseous.

The moment the red-haired Valkyrie looked up, about to hurl a few words, the reflection in her pupils made her expression freeze instantly.

"A massive tsunami! It's a massive tsunami!"

"Activate the Gravity Repulsor immediately, full power! Inland! Inland!"

The hysterical roar was so sharp it was almost unreal. The Floating Battleship, which received the warning immediately, pulled up and rushed into the heart of South America in the low to medium altitude range.

However, some ships reacted too slowly. By the time they realized what was happening and tried to follow, the vast, surging white line, carrying giant waves hundreds of meters high, was sweeping in.

Caught completely off guard, the rolling waves violently shattered the lagging ships, and the survivors who had been fleeing were completely swallowed by the waves.

"Boom!" The earth shook violently, causing the surroundings to tremble. The South American fleet that had rushed into the airspace above the heart of the region managed to escape unscathed thanks to the barrier of the western Andes Mountains.

However, the loss of a full third of the fleet's personnel caused the morale of the fleet to plummet to rock bottom.

Even worse, those tireless, fearless, and destructive monsters charged forward in a mighty wave.

In an attempt to evade the Dark Elves' lock-on, the South American fleet lowered its flight altitude, but this also resulted in it being attacked by monsters from behind.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

After a brief escape, the sound of engine vibrations came from ahead, and the scarlet warning of enemy air units on the radar screen made Shub and Salome turn pale.

Five small Chitauri battle groups, plus a small number of Dark Elves fighters!

There must have been a problem at sea; a tsunami of this magnitude wouldn't happen only once.

Don't stop, charge forward! Activate the artillery matrix! Launch the remaining fighters and interceptors!

The two gritted their teeth and made the difficult decision to cut their losses, then stepped forward to meet the enemy head-on.

But as the ship's guns roared and the distance closed, Shub, standing on the bridge ready to respond to any unexpected situation, suddenly realized...

These enemy aircraft were distorted in their movements, and many of their surfaces bore the marks of artillery fire. A hint of panic flickered across the pilots' faces.

They don't seem to be encircling...

This is... a desperate escape!

Just as Shub was lost in thought, several beams of dark blue light streaked past, and a Dark Elves fighter jet that was producing illusory particles was hit and exploded into a large ball of orange fire.

Then, dozens of dark blue beams followed closely behind. Every beam that was hit was pierced and exploded, even if the protective shield was activated.

"This is the Wolf Pack Air Combat Team, codenamed [Pegasus]. We are here to provide support. Allied forces, please retreat to the red-marked area beyond the Panama Canal..."

"The bunker there will provide drinking water, medicine, and rest breaks during shift changes..."

With a slight distortion in the air, a hundred or so streamlined, silver-white fighter jets appeared in an instant, outside the radar range.

The gentle words of comfort caused the exhausted members of the South America fleet to briefly lose their composure before bursting into wild embraces and cheers, tears streaming uncontrollably from their eyes.

We're saved! We're saved!

However, caught in a pincer movement, part of the Titan air force turned around and launched a counterattack, with a dark red beam unfortunately hitting the lead silver-white fighter jet.

Just as everyone's minds went blank and their hearts tightened, the silver-white fighter jet, its surface slightly charred, safely broke out of the blast radius and engaged in close combat with the enemy.

"Pegasus? The SCP Foundation has replicated a light-speed engine! Space Stone!"

Salome clutched her injured arm, pondered for a moment, and immediately understood why this small team was able to break through the Dark Elves's illusory particle defense.

Moreover, based on the energy reflection patterns of these fighter jets, the materials used on them are likely mixed with various rare metals.

However, this team is not invincible.

After the South American fleet circled the area of engagement, a silver-white fighter jet, positioned at the forefront, was repeatedly subjected to concentrated fire.

Ultimately, the fighter jet's wing broke off, and the fuselage, billowing black smoke, wobbled and crashed into the Vanguard group on the ground.

To the astonishment of the South American fleet, as the fighter jet plummeted, the white-haired pilot violently kicked open the alloy hatch and jumped out.

As the figure spread its limbs in mid-air, the red and black blood vessels that emanated from it formed a deceleration device similar to a wing membrane.

Just before landing, the white-haired man swiftly adjusted his posture, his hands transforming into Warhammer covered in ferocious bone spikes.

With a piercing roar, a violent wave of earth surged from the white-haired man's center, and sharp spikes rose from the ground.

Under this strange tremor, hundreds of Vanguard were either crushed into mincemeat or strung together like hedgehogs.

Guys, let's get to work!

Leon tapped his headset, drew his greatsword made of nanomaterials, and his gaze hardened as he pondered.

Chapter 952 Where are my reinforcements? (Section 995)

Thousands of tentacles, ending everything!

In the silent contemplation, the figures scattered into the Vanguard of the forest resembled exploding flesh-eating Man-eating Flower, with tens of thousands of purplish-red fleshy tendrils piercing outwards.

In an instant, red and black mycelium spread and coiled, tearing apart the monsters that had been pierced, their blood and flesh splattering into the tentacles, their bodies withering and shrivel.

Even the Chitauri aircraft, which were lowered in altitude from above, were not spared from being enveloped by these things.

The South America fleet and its crew were horrified and their scalps tingled with fear.

This Blacklight Virus force of over a thousand people is terrifying! Not only is their healing speed and evolutionary ability astonishing.

Moreover, once engaged in battle, even if severely wounded, any living creature becomes a source of nourishment for their rapid recovery.

In a sense, these Blacklight Virus Suitable Candidate are more like monsters than those aliens!

"What! Skynet encountered the giant serpent Jörmungandr in the Atlantic and is now offline?"
