Iron Torrent
One hour ago.
"How much longer until it starts up?!"
Inside the satellite.
Tony Stark was sweating profusely with anxiety.
He had noticed the approaching Chitauri army an hour earlier.
The overwhelming torrent of behemoths resembled a migrating tide of creatures in a cosmic sea. Among the dozens of Chitauri Beast, the largest one was several kilometers long.
Even if the three motherships of the H.A.M.M.E.R. were put together, they wouldn't be half the length of the opponent's body.
However, the protective barrier is not fully ready even now.
"It'll be soon."
Ben answered him.
He is currently making final adjustments.
This step should have been easy, but he never dreamed that Loki would disappear.
Before the Cosmic Cube is fully awakened, utilizing its energy is not a simple matter.
As Asgardian, Loki possessed the Tesseract's Cube for hundreds of years or even longer, and their understanding of the Tesseract far surpasses that of Earth.
Ben originally intended for Loki to activate the Tesseract and release Tesseract energy.
But Loki's sudden disappearance, and the inability to contact him via communicator, disrupted his plans.
Tony Stark cursed angrily, saying, "I knew Bambi unreliable."
He's currently outside Earth's atmosphere, and if the satellites can't open the barrier before the Chitauri Beast arrive, he and Ben will have to face the Chitauri army head-on.
Of course, that's a minor issue.
More importantly, the massive Chitauri army will advance deep into Earth.
Once the battlefield unfolds on land, it will inevitably cause countless casualties.
"Deploy the battle suits first to engage the enemy, and try to control the battle within space."
Ben said.
Upon hearing this, Tony nodded.
That's exactly what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, the Avengers on the ground were also ready.
Everyone was encased in armor, armor strong enough to support their flight in space and ensure their ability to land on the Chitauri Beast.
"Once we're in space, we won't be able to provide support anymore."
Norman reached out and placed his hand on Spider-Man's shoulder.
"Put your own safety first!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Norman."
Spider-Man knew that Norman was saying this to Peter.
Harry is here too, but he won't be going to space with us; the Green Goblin Armor isn't suited to the space environment.
If it's just an extra player, there's no need to let him play.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Steve immediately put on a suit of Iron Armor from Primus.
Then he raised his arms and shouted:
"Avengers, assemble!"
The next moment, the back of the armor opened, releasing a burst of intense energy that propelled Steve into space like Rocket!
Next came the other Avengers.
Following that, thousands of Iron Armor controlled by Eunice burst into flames!
Boom!!!
The perfectly aligned Iron Warriors formed a massive army and charged toward the Chitauri army that was attacking from space.
Above the New York sky.
Everyone saw this.
The war was never kept secret from the public; Norman had made preparations in advance, evacuating most of the citizens, and the whole world was on high alert.
If the Chitauri were to actually enter the atmosphere, all nations would launch missiles in an attempt to annihilate them in the air.
This is the second line of defense.
New York.
Felicia and Mary Jane arrived in Primus with their family, Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
With Primus's security forces, this place is very safe.
In fact, besides them, Connors, Otto, and Banner were also there, along with their families.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May have no idea that their two nephews are currently fighting in space. Ben lied to them, saying that he and Peter worked for H.A.M.M.E.R.., both in technical roles, clearly clerical positions.
As a civil official who is powerless even to kill a chicken, it's quite reasonable for him to easily defeat two Chitauri, right?
Within the universe.
The enormous Chitauri Beast swam about.
On the largest Chitauri Mothership, the War Lord's towering figure stood.
Like most Chitauri, these behemoths were also transformed into cyborg life forms.
Even inside the behemoth, he could see everything in the distance.
The brains of the Chitauri Beast are connected to the master controller, transmitting what they see to the War Lord.
Not far away, the blue planet reflected a bright light.
It must be said, this is a beautiful planet.
The War Lord —or rather, The Other—stretched his grey-blue palm toward the earth, his fingers as ugly as charred charcoal after being burned by flames.
He curled his the Five Fingers as if trying to firmly grasp the tiny Earth in his palm.
He's going to conquer this planet!
"Take this planet from me, and I will offer it to the great Thanos."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Chitauri warriors sprang into action.
Most of these warriors were only the size of ordinary people, but they were hunched over and their faces resembled those of skeletons without flesh and blood.
They shouted:
"Destroy!"
"Destroy!"
"Purge all Wuxu and free will!"
"..."
The Chitauri were already infamous throughout the universe before they submitted to Thanos.
They claim to be the universe's immune system, attacking and destroying all civilizations.
Essentially, they crave war!
Immediately afterwards, all the Chitauri Soldier armed themselves and prepared to attack!
Countless passages opened on either side of the Chitauri Beast, and then the Chitauri warriors riding on flying machines swarmed out.
From a distance, it looks like a giant, dark blue wave from beyond the stars surging toward Earth.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ben's mind returned to what Venom had said: locusts.
These guys really are like a swarm of insects.
At that moment, Tony had already donned his armor and charged towards the swarm of insects.
Knowing in advance that he would be facing an enemy from outer space, he designed all his armors during this period with the needs of space combat in mind.
He's always at the forefront in these situations.
Fortunately, he wasn't fighting alone.
The mechs that were originally satellites modified from outer space also flew towards the swarm under his control.
Meanwhile, the Iron Warriors on Ben's side, also under Eunice's control, attacked the incoming Chitauri.
However, the number of armors is far too small in comparison.
Boom!!!
Sound cannot travel in space.
However, the flames from the explosion were clearly visible.
Tony, clad in his armor, was like a lone survivor, raising his sword and charging into the vast army.
He was instantly swallowed up by the overwhelming number of Chitauri.
This is not the Battle of New York depicted in the movies.
The Chitauri could only reach Earth through narrow tunnels, so he essentially charged directly into the Chitauri battlefield.
In the movie, Tony can also use nuclear bombs to bomb the mothership, instantly causing all the Chitauri to suffer brain death.
But right now, the mothership isn't here at all.
At this moment, Tony had completely given up on aiming, because the Chitauri were swarming around him from all sides. All he needed to do was turn the armor's firepower up to the maximum and bombard them relentlessly!
It would be strange if they missed!
"If you and Pepper were this accurate at night, wouldn't your kids be old enough to run errands by now?"
Ben asked into his headset.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Tony roared, he would not allow anyone to slander him as incompetent!
"I wear a protective shield!"
Jarvis immediately said, "Activate the shield."
In an instant, a small Energy Shield enveloped the outer edge of Tony's armor, blocking many of the Chitauri attacks.
Even so, he was about to be overwhelmed by the Chitauri.
If the armor hadn't provided oxygen, he would probably be suffocating by now.
The armor was vibrating violently.
To be honest, even protective barriers cannot completely prevent all attacks.
Just like Wakanda's protective shield in Avengers: Avengers, it will eventually collapse. Not to mention that although his armor has ample energy, it is also limited.
Inside the colossal Chitauri Beast, the War Lord also saw the tiny insect blocking the giant wave.
He brandished his battle axe and growled softly.
Crush him!
As if receiving pheromones released by the Queen, the Chitauri warriors instantly became even more fanatical.
He charged at Stark like a madman.
They were utterly fearless of sacrifice, like mindless beasts, intending to tear through the protective shields on Tony Stark's armor with their bodies!
In reality, they don't really have much rationality.
The life forms of the Chitauri are very similar to those of ants.
The Chitauri Queen continuously gave birth to large numbers of Chitauri, who were modified from birth and forced to accept a fate similar to that of worker ants, becoming pitiful cannon fodder in the war.
Everyone can be sacrificed.
Although the War Lord held a transcendent position, they were merely leaders of the Chitauri.
At this moment, countless hideous faces were plastered onto Tony's armor, the cheeks of these Chitauri warriors covered with skeletal remains resembling those of withered creatures, like insects.
Completely unfazed by the Energy Shield burning their bodies, they swarmed forward. One of them tore the energy barrier apart with his bare hands, only to have his arm severed by the restored barrier.
But then, another monster squeezed into the gap.
In an instant, Tony felt as if he could smell something burning.
"Is anyone there? Please help!"
He roared.
At that moment, Peter's voice came through the communication channel.
"Hold on, Mr. Stark, we're coming!"
Carrying a round shield, Steve charged ahead into the raging tide. The energy core on his armor chest instantly activated, releasing a massive beam of light from the Arc Reactor, instantly wiping out a large number of Chitauri warriors.
Tony was like a drowning man finally surfacing.
He struggled to squeeze through the gap left by the Chitauri, raised his head, and looked towards Earth.
Thousands of Iron Warriors stood in a row before him, like the Great Wall.
"We're here, Tony!"
"Steve said softly."
We won't leave you to fight alone.
Thank you Daerb for the 500-point reward, thank you so much!
