The Shazo Legion Was Still Terrifying Without Shazo

In this critical moment, Stark naturally thought of his best buddy.

If Captain America were here, and if the Avengers hadn't disbanded, he wouldn't be fighting alone today, and he would never be in this precarious situation of impending defeat.

A Cull Obsidian is like a copper pea; no matter how hard you try, you can't break it.

Ebony Maw holds a higher position than Cull Obsidian, so his strength is definitely greater. He is also the magician and Esper Powers that Stark is least familiar with.

Stark really wasn't confident he could defeat this enemy.

But this wasn't what made him despair. He still had plenty of spare parts for his Mark 48, and an entire legion of Iron Man Armor in his warehouse. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could at least wear them down.

Even if he ultimately loses, he can escape and continue fighting the enemy.

Tony Stark's planetary monitoring system discovered that, to make matters worse, the alien warship parked in orbit was descending, and the various weapons stacked on that massive ring-shaped Airship were activating and charging.

Are aliens about to launch a full-scale attack?

Tony Stark was sweating profusely; he knew all too well that this was different from the previous Chitauri invasion.

Due to the limited Spatial Rift at the time, many of the Chitauri's powerful weapons and combat units could not enter; only

Three basic amphibious assault units entered New York.

Moreover, the Shazo Legion's massive drone force wiped out the Chitauri's grunts on a large scale, relieving much of the pressure on the Avengers.

The Chitauri didn't even have time to unleash one percent of their power before the Avengers sealed the Spatial Rift, resulting in a very sudden defeat.

Today's aliens, however, are actually sailing across the stars, able to unleash their full armament and power.

Stark truly lacked confidence in winning, and he kept thinking about who else could provide support.

US Military?

Of course not. Just a few tens of minutes ago, the US Military's flight equipment was interfered with from high-altitude orbit and was completely paralyzed on the ground.

With the presence of S.H.I.E.L.D.. forces, the entire United States lost its air defense capabilities.

Although the army and navy still possess formidable strength, they pose no threat to Universe flying in the air unless they can mobilize enough super soldiers.

But before Stark could figure it out, he was attacked by Ebony Maw.

Under the combined attack of magic and Psychokinesis, the Mark 48's non-welded bolts, sockets, and clips disintegrated in a matter of seconds.

The inside was completely loose.

Then the massive Hulkbuster Armor suddenly disintegrated, with large and small parts falling to the ground, almost piling up into a small mountain.

Although Stark's Mark 47 wouldn't disintegrate, it was still affected by Psychokinesis, causing various internal circuit connections to become loose and lose its basic functions.

Stark's strength was simply insufficient to withstand the hundreds of kilograms of the Iron Man Armor. He could only lie helplessly among the Mark 48's parts, watching in despair as Cull Obsidian strode towards him, dragging his mechanical Scythe.

Stark was desperate.

But just then, a portal sparking with fire suddenly opened beneath the Cull Obsidian's feet.

The Cull Obsidian was caught off guard and fell into the portal, landing on the opposite Arctic glacier, helplessly watching the portal close.

The Master Wong, dressed in Kamar-Taj Monk's robes, suddenly appeared and stood in front of Stark, saying, "Don't panic, reinforcements have arrived."

Stark's despair vanished instantly, and he asked with a mixture of surprise and confusion, "Who are you? Is the reinforcement Captain Steve?"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Master Wong conjured shields with his hands, blocking a barrage of Rock projectiles launched by Ebony Maw using Psychokinesis. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and reply, "I am the King of Kamar-Taj. The reinforcements are not Captain America, but rather the forces of something called the Shazo Legion."

Wait a minute, Stark finally remembered. There was another superhuman armed force on Earth: the Shazo Legion, which played a huge role in the Chitauri invasion.

Compared to the Avengers, the Shazo Legion is very low-key, never participating in international affairs and rarely getting involved in internal disputes within the United States.

They would occasionally take action for the benefit of the Anglo-Saxon Group, but each time they would only dabble in it and be very careful to avoid causing a big commotion.

Behind the scenes, the Shazo Legion Isshin on enhancing its crew strength and refining an alternative military industrial system based on drones and enhancement drugs, seemingly with no intention of replacing the traditional heavy industrial military industrial system.

In short, this superhuman's weaponry is strange and mysterious, and he rarely communicates with the outside world.

Information about the Shazo Legion flashed through Stark's mind, and he couldn't help but wonder why he had overlooked this powerful force.

It's important to know that Tony Stark, Shazo Dawson, and Steven Rockefeller were the three giants of the Anglo-Saxon Conglomerates, and they had frequent connections and communications.

Regardless, Tony Stark felt he shouldn't have ignored Shazo; it was a terrible mistake.

What Shazo wanted to say was that Stark, who was focused on science, was far too easy to deal with.

Whether it's crude magic or masterful Genjutsu, they can easily manipulate his memories, even controlling Stark to order "F.R.I.D.A.Y." to cease his investigation and intelligence gathering on the Shazo Legion.

Tony Stark's spirit is not weak, perhaps not as strong as Steve Rogers's infinitely resilient will, but he is not easily hypnotized either.

However, his original habit is to not care about these "trivial matters," which makes it much easier to use Genjutsu or hypnosis.

Moreover, the hypnotic suggestion given by Shazo was very subtle; as soon as Stark heard the words "Shazo Legion," he would immediately come to his senses.

Stark asked anxiously, "When are they coming?"

"Can they stop that massive warship?"

The Master Wong blocked another wave of Ebony Maw's attacks. Hearing Stark's question, he angrily retorted, "I don't know!"

"The Shazo Legion is United States organization, I'm not United States, you are!"

Stark stammered, "I—"

Ebony Maw launched several waves of attacks, using both magic and Psychokinesis, but all were steadily blocked by the Master Wong.

He then realized that the mage who had suddenly appeared was extremely skilled in magic, even stronger than the Sorcerer Supreme he had captured.

Ebony Maw found it utterly unbelievable. Shouldn't the strongest become the Sorcerer Supreme and the guardian of the Time Stone?

He couldn't understand why the powerful Ancient One would make such an outrageous decision.

However, Ebony Maw dared not casually conclude that the Ancient One was a fool; he knew how powerful the Ancient One was.

As a sorcerer, Ebony Maw borrowed his magic from the Gray-White Dimension Lord, but the Ancient One repeatedly stole Grey magic through deception and robbery.

The thought of such a horrific fact sent chills down Ebony Maw's spine.

He would never have dared to come to Earth if the Ancient One hadn't already died.

Ebony Maw sighed and muttered to himself, "We've already achieved our goal of capturing the Time Stone's guardian and seizing the Time Stone. There's no need to waste time on this troublesome mage."

Then he turned around to take Strange back to the warship and deliver the mission to Thanos as quickly as possible.

The Black Order of the Thanos' Army had no camaraderie among themselves. Ebony Maw not only had no intention of rescuing Cull Obsidian, but he also didn't plan to help Corvus Glaive.

If Cull Obsidian and Corvus Glaive can return to the warship in time, then they can leave together; otherwise, they'll have to figure it out themselves.

In any case, Ebony Maw's mission is complete.

But to his surprise, as soon as he turned around, a fiery portal opened in front of him, and the Master Wong stepped out and stood in his way.

Master Wong solemnly declared, "Release the Sorcerer Supreme, or you will not leave."

Ebony Maw clicked his tongue. "Mages who wield spatial magic, what a nuisance."

"But it's just troublesome—"

A large amount of grayish-white magic suddenly surged from Ebony Maw's body, instantly forming swords and whips that lashed out at the Master Wong.

But the Master Wong was prepared. He unleashed a large amount of golden magic power from his hands, which formed a shield and a longsword, respectively, and began to fight against the gray-white magic weapon.

The wizards in the Marvel World are indeed strange; none of them are simply standing still as cannon emplacements. They all fight in close combat with their frail bodies.

Even Ebony Maw only uses Psychokinesis for ranged attacks, using magic only for support or melee combat.

Therefore, both could inflict fatal damage on the other. The battle between Ebony Maw and the Master Wong was both cautious and dangerous, compared to...

The fight with Strange was much more intense than before.

The Master Wong attempted to pull Ebony Maw into the Mirror Dimension. His technique was highly skilled; Ebony Maw, who had witnessed this move before from Strange, nearly fell victim to it.

If Ebony Maw were pulled into the Mirror Dimension, he would enter the Kamar-Taj territory, and he would be utterly annihilated.

Ebony Maw narrowly escaped the Mirror Dimension, drenched in cold sweat from the fright. He couldn't help but laugh, "Ha, that was close! You almost killed me. That must be the Ancient One's magic, right?"

Master Wong nodded. "That's right, the Mirror Dimension was developed by the Ancient One."

Ebony Maw sighed, "The Ancient One's power is truly awe-inspiring. Even though my magic is stronger than yours, if I continue in the face of such wondrous magic, I might very well be defeated by you."

"However, I am not alone. I have His Majesty Thanos behind me, as well as a powerful capital fleet!"

With a deep rumble, a warship the size of a city descended from the sky and hovered hundreds of meters in the air. Its massive cannons began to charge, emitting a deep blue light.

Ebony Maw slowly rose into the air, and the captured Strange followed him.

He looked at the Master Wong and the helpless Stark, and threatened softly, "If you try to stop me again, my warships will bombard you, you will all die, and this city will be reduced to ruins."

The Master Wong gritted his teeth and withdrew his magic, saying through gritted teeth, "Kamar-Taj will not be abandoned."

Stark declared firmly, "I swear, even if it means crossing the stars, I will rescue Strange!"

Ebony Maw chuckled coldly, "Very well, then come on. Only in the vastness of the Universe can you witness the power of His Majesty Thanos."

"Don't let it get too late. If it drags on too long, I can't guarantee the Sorcerer Supreme will be alive."

Stark, contemplating the difficulty of building a spaceship from scratch, descended into a state of impotent rage, which he then directed at the Shazo Legion: "Damn Shazo, weren't they supposed to be here to provide support? Where are they?"

"Are they going to act like those stupid police officers, waiting until everything is over before they show up?"

"Stark, Tony Stark, shut your stinking mouth!" A clear female voice rang in Stark's ears, but only in his left ear.

Tony Stark instantly recognized the voice as belonging to the girl next to Shazo, the beautiful mixed-race girl of Chinese descent.

Only she, who possessed the Vibration Ability, could speak into one of his ears without being heard by others, or even by the other ear.

Stark immediately asked in the softest voice, "That Sorcerer Supreme is going to be abducted by aliens. I remember Mr. Shazo said that the gems he possesses are very important to Earth, right?"

"Where is Mr. Shazo? Where is your legion?"

Skye replied curtly, "We already know that. My boss is in Asgard, dealing with a much bigger problem. I can handle this small fry."

"Huh?" Stark was utterly astonished. "I know you can beat me with one hand, but this is an alien mage, and such a huge alien warship—"

Skye scoffed, "Hmph, I said it's okay, so it's okay. Just open your eyes and watch."

"Since you're so afraid of this warship, then I'll just smash it to pieces first!"

Stark shut his mouth, staring wide-eyed at the alien warship in the sky, his heart filled with curiosity and worry.

He was curious about how the beautiful girl would destroy the alien warship, and worried that if such a large warship were destroyed, the debris falling into the New York City might cause terrible casualties.

Moreover, this is an alien warship, and the dangers of its propulsion system and weapons are unknown.

If the destruction of New York leads to massive pollution and turns it into a radioactive Wasteland, it would be the end of the world economy.

Stark, who was intently observing, suddenly noticed a faint white mist appearing around the alien warship, forming rings in layers.

The white fog gradually thickened from being barely visible until it was quickly seen by everyone.

Meanwhile, the white mist continued to increase in layers, rapidly expanding its coverage area.

Ebony Maw, flying towards the warship, also saw the ring of white mist. He instinctively sensed the danger and, after a slight hesitation, turned around and landed on the ground.

Just as Ebony Maw landed on the nearest Skyscraper, Skye's voice rang out across the sky. "Thunderclap on a Clear Day!"

As her voice rang out, the ring of mist suddenly contracted into a pure white thread, then contracted layer by layer from the outside in.

When all the white mist condensed into the innermost ring, the alien warship shuddered, then suddenly shot upwards, slowly tilting towards the bay at the mouth of the Hudson River.
