BOOM!
On the African continent, above the Wakanda grasslands, the tightly connected equipment suddenly sprang into operation at noon. A dazzling, ghostly blue beam shot straight into the sky.
In an instant.
Shock waves rippled directly in all directions.
The ripples spread.
Very soon.
No matter where they were in the world, people who looked up could see this breathtaking scene.
It looked as though the sky had split open.
If one had to describe it, it was as if a completely sealed space had been violently torn apart. Under the constant impact of the ghostly blue light, the brilliant blue sky split open.
Its shape... resembled a certain flower!
The next second.
Around Earth, the spatial shielding Captain Marvel had established in the 1980s—which had later vanished because Samuel L. Jackson had acted recklessly, only to reappear after The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, reinforced it—also began to unlock and vibrate outward like ripples the moment the rift opened.
But...
From beyond Earth, it seemed that only the protective device over Africa had disappeared.
As for the devices over other regions, they remained completely unharmed.
"Roar!"
"Charge in!"
"Kill them all!"
"For our lord!"
"For our lord!"
The Chitauri general at the head of the army roared furiously at the sight of the rift. He raised his bulging right arm, shouted, and then viciously swung it down.
In an instant!
The Chitauri soldiers who had expeditioned here from countless light-years away went berserk.
The leading Chitauri insectoid warship, shaped like a colossal dragon, descended first. Following the spatial gate that had opened above Earth, its enormous body began probing into the planet.
"Whew!"
Across the grasslands, the five hegemonic armies stood ready for battle, watching the spatial gate that had opened within their ambush.
