War. Activate!

Stark Tower.

"Begin the operation." Tony Stark began operating the remote, controlling the display.

"I've established a ring of firepower around Vanko Tech Building. Once the reactor within Vanko Tech activates the Tesseract's energy, my Iron Legion will begin indiscriminate fire sweeps..."

"I have a question," Captain said.

"Go ahead." Tony Stark pointed at Captain.

"Why do we have to let them open the Space Gate? Why do we have to fight such a large-scale battle? Since we know where they are, why can't we just fight a smaller, localized battle?" Everyone present understood what Captain meant.

Clearly, he simply did not want the battlefield to expand, because that could result in far greater casualties.

"I fought Loki. And his brother, Thor." Tony Stark pointed to Thor nearby. Thor pursed his lips and spread his hands in a gesture that said it had nothing to do with him.

"This world is changing quickly. There are aliens in this world, and they will invade. This is no longer a battle confined to Earth; it's a war between planets. I don't know what you all think, but I..." Tony Stark pointed at himself.

"Tony Stark is someone with a very strong ability to accept change. Even if I don't want to, I force myself to accept new things. This battle must be fought, and it must be fought beautifully. We have to show the spirit of Earth's people, let our voice be heard throughout the universe, and let these aliens know that we Earthlings are not to be provoked or bullied. If they insist on invading our planet, then there is only one thing we have to do."

Tony Stark's stern gaze swept across everyone present. All of them were moved by his speech.

Well, except Thor, who looked a little awkward.

Tony Stark was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. Then he said solemnly and forcefully, "Make them feel pain, feel defeat, and feel death approaching."

"Avengers!"

"Victory!"

Everyone nodded silently, their hearts filled with determination and resolve. They knew this battle was not merely about defending Earth, but also about demonstrating humanity's courage and strength.

Captain walked over to Tony Stark and patted his shoulder, showing his support and solidarity. The other members also expressed their trust in Tony Stark and their willingness to cooperate.

"Good. Then let's move out," Tony Stark said.

The Avengers swiftly assembled and headed for their designated positions according to plan.

"Jarvis, activate adjutant mode. You'll command the Iron Legion."

"Adjutant mode activated."

"Yes, General. Jarvis has activated adjutant mode. Iron Legion connected. Awaiting your orders."

"Execute according to the programmed plan."

"Understood, General."

Meanwhile, Nathan Hawke began issuing orders as well.

"Electro, Andrew. Your task is to kill every alien you see along the way. Don't let a single target go."

"John Walker, your task is to protect Hawke Group and radiate outward from its surrounding area."

John Walker nodded with a solemn expression.

"As for Ryoma Sengoku and Dr. Keitz, stay at Umbrella Corporation. You already know your mission, so I won't repeat it."

As for Wesker, Nathan Hawke gave him no instructions, because Wesker's mission was to protect the headquarters, Umbrella Corporation.

As for Nathan Hawke himself, naturally, he would be drinking red wine in his office and waiting for the outcome.

"Come to think of it, where's Translucent?" Andrew looked around, even spreading out his telekinesis, wondering whether the man had turned invisible. Yet he discovered that Translucent was nowhere to be found.

"I sent him to handle something," Nathan Hawke said.

White House.

At that moment, Translucent was in the President's office at the White House, watching their every move while relaying the scene through cameras to Umbrella Corporation's monitors.

"I can't believe this world actually has aliens." The President wore an expression of utter disbelief.

Holding an A4 sheet of paper, the secretary-general said, "According to the Council and Nick Fury, they will clear the surrounding area to ensure nothing goes wrong. At the same time, two generals are currently on their way here."

After speaking, the Secretary-General handed over the A4 sheet in his hand.

"The military logistics department and our personnel have already begun post-battle cleanup preparations. The troops have also fully assembled and will be able to enter the area immediately once the battle ends."

After hearing that, the President could not help nodding. "Mm, very good. Contact the media as well. Great America is invincible. The reports must emphasize my wise leadership. As for that idiot politician's suggestion that we throw nuclear bombs if we can't win..." The President gave a faintly false smile.

"Tell him to get as far away as possible."

After the Secretary-General left, the President turned to look at the empty space beside him.

Translucent revealed himself.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. President." Translucent reached out and shook the President's hand.

"Likewise. Your T-Virus series potions have made my body stronger, and my safety has been greatly improved." The President replied with a smile.

"If Mr. President is willing, we can custom-build a suit of armor that suits you."

"Haha, if that's the case, then even better."

It was a transaction where everyone got what they wanted, and both sides were extremely satisfied.

Boom!

A beam of light shot skyward from Vanko Tech Building.

A dazzling radiance spread outward.

As the light gradually faded, a massive Space Gate appeared above Vanko Tech Building. Pouring from it was an invading army made up of Chitauri, clad in silver armor and armed with energy weapons, their gazes cold and sharp.

"They're here."

No one knew whose voice came through the communicator.

The Avengers immediately sensed the severity of the threat, and their expressions turned grave. Captain gripped his shield tightly, gritting his teeth.

The Chitauri infantry swarmed in, clad in exoskeleton armor and giving off an icy aura. Using their hive mind through an electronic neural network, they quickly organized into a powerful assault force. Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hulk faced the oncoming enemy army with tense expressions.

The Chitauri infantry were equipped with arm cannons and forearm guns. They locked onto their targets and unleashed powerful energy fire. Iron Man quickly activated his armor's energy shield to block the Chitauri soldiers' attacks while launching a counterattack. Lasers shot from his wrists in sharp beams of energy, striking the Chitauri infantry and blasting them into pieces.

Black Widow used her agility and combat skills to fight the Chitauri infantry. She skillfully wielded twin-bladed weapons and martial arts techniques, weaving across the battlefield and rapidly taking down enemies. With nimble movements and keen reflexes, she dodged the Chitauri's attacks while delivering lethal counterstrikes.

Hulk transformed into a massive green giant. His strength and rage made him an unstoppable force. He swung his fists, scattering the Chitauri infantry in all directions. Their armor was utterly unable to withstand Hulk's power.

However, the Chitauri army was vast, and they continued pouring in, placing enormous pressure on Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hulk. Although the three Avengers fought with all their strength, they could not completely stop the Chitauri army's advance.

"There are too many of them! Where is Nathan Hawke's hero team?" Black Widow shouted.

"They'll come." Tony calmly considered a countermeasure. He used energy weapons to strike the enemy with precision, trying to weaken their assault. The scene became chaotic and fierce, with explosions, energy beams, and tearing sounds rising one after another.

On the rooftop of Vanko Tech Building, Loki and the Chitauri Commander stood high above, looking down at the battlefield about to unfold. Their gazes were steady and their expressions cold.

Loki muttered in a low voice, "The moment has finally come. Earth will submit to our power."

The Chitauri Commander gave a cold laugh. "Yes, this is the victory we have won. The humans of Earth will become our slaves. They will tremble beneath our feet."

Loki looked into the distance, especially noticing his brother Thor fighting below. Complex emotions flickered in his eyes. "Still, this world has surprised me. Those so-called superheroes are resisting our attack with human strength. It is truly astonishing... and utterly overestimating themselves."

The Chitauri Commander sneered disdainfully. "They are nothing but ants trying to obstruct our path. Their efforts are destined to be futile."

Loki turned around, his sharp gaze fixed on the Chitauri Commander. "Are you certain they will not become a threat to us? Their unity and resolve make me feel a trace of unease." With Thor joining the battle, Loki had become somewhat less confident.

The Chitauri Commander curled his lips in disdain. "There is no need to worry. Our legion is powerful. They will be crushed completely."

Loki quickly composed himself and smiled faintly, a trace of conspiracy in his eyes. "Yes. I will become the ruler of this world. I will enjoy their fear and worship."

As they spoke, the Chitauri's elite forces on the battlefield had already prepared themselves, standing in neat ranks as they awaited orders. Chitauri Flying Chariots circled through the air while Leviathans roared. The entire legion was shrouded in dark clouds, radiating an aura of majesty and brutality.

Loki took a deep breath and said with a resolute gaze, "Now, let us begin. Earth will witness our power and conquest."

The Chitauri Commander nodded and replied coldly, "The Chitauri will give them a chance to submit, so they can witness the might of the Chitauri."

The Chitauri elite legion launched its assault. Leviathans, Chitauri Giant Apes, and Chitauri Flying Chariots formed their formidable force. Their targets were Thor, Andrew, and Electro.
