The fall of the Flying Aircraft Carrier

Hawkeye's attack didn't just destroy the air defense system; he also attacked the Flying Aircraft Carrier's No. 3 engine.

It was precisely the attack on the engine that was able to shake this 120,000-ton super Airship.

However, Hawkeye's attack was very measured; he did not directly destroy the Flying Carrier's third engine, and he even preserved the most critical component, the turbine.

This level of damage would tie down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s manpower to the maximum extent possible, which would be most advantageous for him to carry out his next mission.

Upon learning that the turbine was not completely destroyed, Nick Fury immediately guessed that the enemy had made their move.

But this is an open strategy; if he doesn't act, everyone will die.

Fury had no choice but to grit his teeth and mobilize a large number of people to work with Tony Stark, the leading authority in the mechanical field, to carry out repairs.

At the same time, he ordered the aircraft carrier pilots to reduce the output of the other three engines, descend the flight altitude, and prepare for an emergency landing on the sea below.

Upon hearing Fury's order, Stark, without even swearing, flew ahead of Captain Steve to Engine 3 and even rushed inside to begin repairs.

This is why Shazo mocked the Flying Aircraft Carrier back then.

Using four engines to lift a massive vessel weighing over 100,000 tons into the air, altitude itself is the biggest weakness of a flying aircraft carrier. Being hit by a light anti-ship missile like today would put it at risk of crashing.

The same anti-ship missiles, if they hit a regular aircraft carrier, even if a dozen hit at the same time, would not pose a risk of sinking.

Moreover, the flying aircraft carrier not only lacks redundancy in terms of survivability, it also has no chance of being salvaged.

As we all know, air crashes always result in one death and one plane crash, and aircraft carrier crashes are no exception.

This thing is so fragile that it breaks at the slightest touch, falls off when broken, and dies on the entire ship when it falls off. It has absolutely no resilience whatsoever; it's practically a murder weapon.

If Stark cannot be repaired in time, or if enough time cannot be bought for a forced landing, the Avengers' first gathering will turn into a memorial service.

Of course, not everyone will die.

At least Tony Stark, Dr. Banner, and Thor won't die.

Once the situation had stabilized, Nick Fury turned his attention to Dr. Banner.

He picked up the Communicator and shouted, "Natasha, how's Hulk?"

"Hulk? No, he's still Dr. Banner now." Black Widow's reply was filled with undisguised surprise.

Contrary to the expectations of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Banner remains emotionally stable and has not been seriously affected, let alone transformed into the Hulk.

When Natasha asked Banner why he was so calm, Banner smiled and replied, "Because Hulk has become gentler."

Natasha's exquisite and beautiful face was filled with question marks.

Banner replied, "Last time I was defeated by Mr. Shazo on Wall Street, he told me that Hulk wasn't me, but some other newborn child, and that I shouldn't be prejudiced against him."

"After defeating the Hulk, Mr. Shazo also taught him a magical kung fu technique," it really was incredibly amazing.

"Now Hulk is much stronger, but his emotions have also become very stable, like those of an Eastern monk."

Dr. Banner clasped his hands together. "Even I tried to learn from him, and although I didn't even finish the first level, I felt much Mind Stone. It's truly a great kongfu!"

Natasha's lips twitched, and she asked incredulously, "Didn't you go to the South America rainforest to avoid the crowds?"

Dr. Banner replied matter-of-factly, "Of course not, I asked Mr. Stark for leave to go on vacation to South America."

Black Widow was dumbfounded. Such a huge oversight in the initial intelligence gathering was undoubtedly the biggest failure of her career as a secret agent.

In an instant, the darkness in Natasha's heart was dispelled by despair. The despair of being used by Hydra and possibly killing many innocent people, even good people, was nothing compared to the pain of having her lifelong pride destroyed.

Natasha wasn't the only one stunned by Mr. Banner; even Nick Fury felt a burning pain on his face.

But Loki was the most devastated.

He deliberately killed people and then surrendered, all in order to get to and destroy the S.H.I.E.L.D.. base.

The force Loki planned to use to destroy the base was the Hulk, hidden within Dr. Banner's body.

Using the enemy's strength to strike the enemy—that's the behavior befitting the God of Mischief.

This was a meticulously planned scheme Loki devised after learning about the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and other intelligence from Hawkeye, for which he was willing to use himself as bait.

Now, the resources we needed are gone, and all our plans are ruined.

"Damn it!" Loki slammed his fist against the Jail wall. "I have to do it myself, and that's just too inelegant."

"Someone, open this door!"

With a low shout from Loki, a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was under his deep hypnosis rushed over and directly entered the code to open the Main Gate of the specially made the Jail.

Loki straightened his clothes, used his fingers to comb his hair, and then gracefully strode out of the Jail.

But the next second, his beloved brother Thor smashed through the steel wall and arrived at the Jail gates.

Seeing his brother walk out of the cell, Thor roared in fury, "Loki! You're trying to escape again!"

Loki looked at Thor, then at the wall he had smashed through, and said in surprise, "My dear brother, so far, the damage I've done to this flying coffin isn't much more than what you've done."

Thor blushed. "It's not my fault. This ship is too complicated; I couldn't find my way at all—"

Indeed, Flying Aircraft Carrier are incredibly complex. Their internal spaces and passageways are like giant Labyrinth, and in 3D no less. Just thinking about it gives you a headache.

Thor knew from the moment the invasion began that it was Loki's plot, so he grabbed Mjolnir and charged straight into his brother's prison.

It wasn't that Thor's mind suddenly became sharper; rather, it was because he had witnessed countless Loki escapes over the past millennium, which had become muscle memory for him.

As we all know, Thor is not only the god of hammers, but also the god of muscles. He never disappoints when it comes to anything related to muscles.

However, Thor was boarding a flying aircraft carrier for the first time, and even following the layout map and road signs on the wall, he soon found himself completely lost.

So the enraged Asgardians picked up his hammer and smashed everything that stood between him and his brother to pieces.

Thor, guided by his Beast instincts and following his most familiar method of finding his way in a straight line, found his beloved brother in just 10 seconds.

Seeing his brother escape, Thor was heartbroken and roared, "Loki, get back here!"

Without thinking, he lunged forward, only to find himself catching nothing on the phantom.

Loki, who was tidying his clothes and hair, had somehow turned into a phantom. With his ever-reliable teleportation magic, Loki successfully sent his Thor to a specially made the Jail.

Such a simple trap, a mere illusion, fooled Thor. Loki was smug and filled with happiness.

But it still wasn't quite right. Loki clenched his fist, and a Dagger appeared in his hand.

He Satori, "Oh dear, I forgot to give my brother a little slap on the lower back when I lured him inside."

Thor roared, "You bastard, you wait! When I see you again outside, I'll—"

Loki couldn't help but laugh, "My dear brother, you haven't improved at all. You've been deceived by my magic for a thousand years, how could you still fall for my tricks?"

"Loki, don't make any more mistakes."

Thor recalled his father's appearance and spoke earnestly.

He had long since stopped caring about Loki's repeated deceptions.

This is my dearest friend and family, my half-brother. Being lied to by my younger brother isn't a big deal; he's used to it anyway. After all, Thor is the older brother!

However, Thor's behavior greatly angered Loki.

Loki wanted to see a furious and enraged Thor, only then could his subsequent schemes succeed. How could Loki bear to harm a brother as affectionate and loyal as this?

Yeah, I really can't bring myself to do it, but scaring him a little won't hurt.

"Midgard is just a remote countryside to us Asgardians. We've never seen an immortal god, so we all say: Gods are immortal."

Loki placed his hand on the button that would cause the Jail to plummet, looking at Thor in the cage, and said, "Brother, why don't I try it and see if you're truly immortal?"

"!" "!" "!"

The continuous gunshots rang out in his ears, startling Loki, who was intently watching his brother. He Jonin forward.

When Loki realized he had already pressed the button, the specially made cage and Thor plummeted from a height of ten thousand meters.

Loki--

The mournful cries echoed in his ears. Loki rolled his eyes and turned to look at Coulson had fired at him, with a grim expression.

Coulson held a standard self-defense Pistol, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hypnotized by Loki lying at his feet.

Loki narrowed his eyes like a cold, venomous snake flicking its tongue. "Midgardian, you've interrupted my game."

Coulson blinked innocently. "Uh, if I said I was just guessing too, I wonder if you'd accept my apology?"

Coulson, with his exceptional composure, calmly aimed at Loki: "Sorry, but now you'd better raise your hands and surrender!"

But he made a fatal mistake: he forgot that Loki was also a god, and a god who could outwit Thor, someone no ordinary person could contend with.

Loki sneered. This kind of trash weapon was so bad that even if he didn't dodge or evade, his skin alone could stop the bullets.

And how could he have been hit by such a weapon?

Loki is the God of Mischief, and even possesses the authority of illusions. What use is any weapon if it can't hit him?

The phantom once again replaced him in place, while the real body appeared behind Coulson, ruthlessly wielding the Mind Scepter and stabbing it down, piercing directly through Coulson's back, with even a small portion of the sharp staff tip protruding from his chest.

The light in Coulson's eyes gradually faded, and he died.

Inside the command center of the Flying Aircraft Carrier!

In the empty command center, the urgent alarm bells never stopped ringing.

The staff continuously observed the interface in front of them, read various detection data, and then calculated the various data bias angles, attempting to stabilize the teetering aircraft carrier with the three engines.

While everyone was busy, a high-explosive grenade was thrown into the central area.

After bouncing a few times, it exploded. Taking advantage of the thick smoke, a six-man armed squad rushed in and opened fire on the staff.

These staff members were all Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and immediately launched a full-scale counterattack under the command of Nick Fury and his adjutant Hill.

Unfortunately, few of the agents present were armed; those who were only armed carried the most basic self-defense weapons.

How can a rapid-fire handgun match the firepower of a standard submachine gun?

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were overwhelmed and couldn't lift their heads; people kept getting hurt.

Worse still, the hypnotized Hawkeye, leading the team, completely overwhelmed the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents.

Suddenly, someone shouted in the channel, "Loki is scared! He stole the Mind Scepter and killed—killed Coulson— "

Upon hearing this, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were all stunned, and many of them showed anger and hatred on their faces.

Hawkeye and his team heard it too, and without hesitation, he waved his hand to order a retreat.

The entire team began firing wildly, buying time for their retreat.

The individual fighters, with their excellent teamwork and superior firepower, gained an absolute advantage, suppressing a large group of unarmed personnel who dared not show their faces.

Hawkeye, seizing any opportunity, fired an explosive arrow that caused the ceiling above to collapse and smoke to billow, effectively blocking the mothership's security personnel behind cover.

But Hawkeye unfortunately bumped into Captain America as he entered, and was punched in the face by Captain Steve, who reacted even faster, before Hawkeye gasped for breath.

After being hit seven or eight times by a massive bulge weighing over a ton, Barton immediately fell into a coma.

The captain, showing no mercy, punched each of the attackers he brought, then, with a deep gasp, knocked them all to the ground.

Captain America subdued Hawkeye and his brother, and the chaos ceased.

Nick Fury began to tally the losses. "Stark, how's the repair of Engine Three going?"

Stark: "The engine blades are already spinning, Francis can hold on for another three minutes."

"Hurry, we must land at the fastest safe speed. I don't know how much longer this outdated engine, which is three generations behind, can last in three minutes."

Nick Fury was pleased. "Excellent, all departments, follow Stark's advice, let's descend at full speed!"

He then asked, "The prison, what's the situation there?"

Natasha responded, "The special prison has fallen down, but it's not Loki inside; it's Thor who was tricked into going in."

"Loki is right there on the Flying Carrier!"

She was wrong; Loki had already jumped off the aircraft carrier.

After creating enough distance, Loki looked at Xi Fang's turbine with a wicked smile, then fired a huge energy blast from his Scepter, hitting an intact engine.

The aircraft carrier experienced another massive jolt, then tilted inward by more than 8 degrees within seconds, and began to fall uncontrollably, its speed increasing rapidly.
