Thanos' Army's main warships are ring-shaped, with an outer diameter of 20,000 meters, making them truly enormous.

The sudden leap of such a giant warship actually involved moving a kilometer upward from a stationary platform in one second, with the instantaneous acceleration equivalent to experiencing a hundred times the force of gravity.

Perhaps some powerful beings could withstand such terrifying gravity, but a giant ship over 20,000 meters in length absolutely could not.

In that instant of the jump, the main beam frame of the capital warship broke extensively, rendering it completely unusable.

Skye's "Thunderclap on a Clear Day" is just that ruthless.

Don't be fooled by how difficult it was for her to use this move against Goddess Hela few days ago, given the preparatory Quake environment and the long wind-up before the actual attack.

But that's because the Death Goddess is the size of an ordinary human, making it extremely difficult to lock onto and aim at her.

When Skye wanted to attack a giant warship that was over 20,000 meters long, she didn't even need to aim; she just went for it.

Sure enough, this move destroyed the colossal, terrifyingly large ship. Skye even had the power to use the Quake to propel the warship toward the bay of Port of New York, preventing large-scale casualties in the city.

Skye's combat prowess far exceeded expectations; even Stark stared in disbelief as the warship slowly plummeted, completely dumbfounded.

I know what to say.

Ebony Maw was equally dumbfounded.

Skye's destructive power is rarely seen in the known Universe, such as Gladiator "Gladiator" of the Shi'ar Empire, Ronan the Accuser of the Kree Empire, and Thanos, to whom Ebony Maw is loyal.

Because of the warship's enormous size, it appeared to be "slowly" falling into the bay. Upon impact with the sea, the warship disintegrated on the spot, causing gasps from countless people.

Damaged parts of the warship fell into the sea like a torrential rain, mixed with a large number of corpses and surviving crew members.

Because the damage from the [Thunderclap on a Clear Day] was absorbed by the warship, there were still many survivors. However, those who continued to survive after crashing into the sea were only the aliens equipped with spacecraft and the monsters who were strong enough and Luck enough not to be hit by large pieces of debris.

The final survival rate was not high, but the total number still exceeded 100,000 per animal.

So many people struggling and thrashing in the seawater have turned a perfectly good bay into a boiling pot of water.

Port of New York is one of the world's major ports, with a constant flow of ships coming and going. If such a large spaceship crashed into the bay, at least a hundred ships of various sizes would suffer collateral damage.

Some ships in the bay were Luck enough to survive the falling debris, but now they had to face swarms of aliens and alien monsters.

Especially those monsters swimming in the sea, each with a ferocious face and mouth full of sharp teeth, looking like terrifying predators.

The crew picked up their weapons and fired wildly, only to find that the small-caliber firearms were not very effective, often requiring more than a dozen hits to kill a single monster.

Those aliens who resembled humans were even more dangerous. Many of them piloted small rescue Airship, while the rest were armed with powerful alien firearms, comparable in power to 30mm cannons, which could easily blast ships into pieces.

Just when the crew was feeling desperate, they heard an unsettling buzzing sound.

Looking up, one could see countless drones flying in from the south, tens of thousands of drones covering the sky, as imposing as dark clouds.

"It's our drone! We're saved!"

New York who had experienced the great battle a few years ago cheered. They still vividly remembered the fierce hunting of the Chitauri by these quadcopter or hexacopter drones.

Compared to a few years ago, today's drones have undergone multiple upgrades, making them faster, more accurate in positioning, and capable of automatically identifying friend or foe and engaging in autonomous combat using built-in AI.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that they are still self-destructing drones, relying on built-in explosives to perish together with the enemy.

Buzz! Boom! Boom!

The drone rapidly approached, locked onto the enemy, and crashed into it. Upon reaching a certain distance, it self-destructed, splashing ceramic shards from its shell onto the enemy and turning the aliens and monsters into tattered sacks.

Sometimes a single self-destructing drone can kill several alien monsters.

Ebony Maw's face was ashen as he stared intently at the beautiful young woman before him.

Skye was extremely pleased with her achievement of destroying the giant warship with a single blow, and even when she looked at Ebony Maw's ugly face, she was all smiles.

She laughed and commanded, "Release Doctor Strange, then surrender, or I'll kill you."

Large beads of sweat appeared on Ebony Maw's forehead. He was now 100% certain that this girl was the monster that had destroyed the warship.

Such a monster is far beyond the capabilities of a lowly mage like him. Even a single hit from it would be enough to kill him beyond recognition.

After a second of intense internal struggle, Ebony Maw made the decision to give up.

Although I feel very sorry for His Majesty Thanos, his death here cannot undo any losses; it will only cause Thanos to suffer even greater losses.

Out of loyalty to Thanos, Ebony Maw decided to preserve his life so that he could still serve His Majesty in the future, rather than die in vain on this remote and desolate planet Earth.

The bricks that had been holding Strange flew up, the steel bars that had been gagging him twisted and came loose, and the first thing the Sorcerer Supreme did upon regaining his freedom was to take a deep breath.

Skye was quite pleased with Ebony Maw's submission. She nodded and said, "Excellent, your decision is the best choice for everyone."

"Don't be sad, your other operation also failed."

"That guy who calls himself Corvus Glaive is indeed powerful, and he's also immortal; he even severely injured Vision's Vibranium body."

"But he was also very unfortunate, as he injured her lover in front of the Scarlet Witch— "

"Before Wanda's Chaos Magic, all absolute concepts become ineffective, so Corvus Glaive's weapon was broken by the Chaos Magic, Corvus Glaive actually died as a result."

Skye chuckled, "How interesting. I just met a Goddess who was bound to the world a few days ago, and today I learn that someone has tied their life to a weapon."

"He's seriously out of his mind."

Ebony Maw sighed helplessly, "Yeah, that guy is definitely out of his mind."

Weapons are meant to fight enemies, clash with powerful weapons, and contend with strong armor; they are the most easily damaged items in the world.

Linking one's life to a fragile weapon is a choice only an idiot would make.

In short, Corvus Glaive, the leader of the Black Order, was defeated by Chaos Magic and died a horrible death.

With Corvus Glaive dead, Ebony Maw lost all hope and obediently followed Skye back to the original battlefield.

Skye casually shattered the Mark 47, freeing Stark. Then, the two of them huddled together with Strange, exchanging information and discussing possible developments in the situation.

Stark spoke first, "This alien invasion proves that Earth is rapidly coming into the sights of extraterrestrials, and we will make contact with more and more aliens in the future."

"To avoid such an attack from happening again, we must strengthen Earth's defenses and enhance our ability to resist alien invasion."

Skye said, "The boss asked me to inform you that Odin, the King of Asgard, died in Norway 12 days ago."

"Don't worry, he wasn't murdered; it was a natural death after reaching the end of his lifespan."

"Odin's death means that the Nine Realms have lost their protector, and are no longer a forbidden zone in the eyes of extraterrestrials. Naturally, more and more extraterrestrials will begin to set foot on Earth."

Stark frowned and said, "So that's how it is. We were actually protected by Asgard in the past."

Strange glanced at Skye to confirm she already knew, and then announced publicly, "The leader of Kamar-Taj, the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, perished in battle against Dormammu 25 days ago."

"Over the past few centuries, the Ancient One has banished and deterred countless dimensional monsters and false gods. They will gradually learn of the Ancient One's death and will certainly attempt to invade Earth."

Stark frowned and asked, "I just heard that fat guy call you ' Sorcerer Supreme '?"

Strange nodded and replied, "Yes, I have inherited the title of Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj and lead the entire Masters of the Mystic Arts."

"But as you've all seen, my strength is far inferior to Master Wong's; I'm simply not strong enough to protect the Earth."

Stark's eyes were glazed over as he said blankly, "This is truly a double whammy. We've lost two of our strongest deterrents at the same time. How are we supposed to rebuild our deterrent now?"

Skye scoffed, "What's there to think about? Just kill them."

"Whoever comes to Earth and dares to launch an attack within Earth's territory, kill them all."

"Once enough have been killed, and powerful enough individuals have emerged among the undead, the aliens will naturally feel fear, and Earth's deterrent will be rebuilt."

Strange:

Tony Stark: "----"

After hesitating for a moment, Stark muttered, "This is too barbaric."

Skye scoffed, "The aliens in the Universe are uncivilized, Dimensional Demons are even more Politeness. If you want to be elegant, you should host a banquet."

Because of her recent victory over an alien warship, Skye's prestige was unparalleled, and neither Strange nor Stark dared to easily refute her.

They readily believed Skye's words and resolved to unite to deal with future crises.

At this moment, Stark muttered again, "If Steve were here, that would be great."

"Steve Rogers is here!!" Nick Fury, leading Captain America, walked over from the other side of the street. "How can we protect the Earth without S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the Avengers?"

Nick Fury brazenly declared, "Why don't you all join the Avengers? By leveraging this loosely organized group, we can pool our strength and better prepare for future crises."

With the crash of the alien warship, the interference that affected half of the Earth also ended.

Soon, US Military aircraft arrived in New York and joined the hunt for the alien monster in New York Bay.

A few minutes later, S.H.I.E.L.D.. fighters arrived, and the cleanup was even faster.

Arriving alongside the S.H.I.E.L.D.. fighters was that annoying Nick Fury, who, upon his arrival, arrogantly demanded that everyone join the Avengers.

As a citizen of the Strange United States tempted. Subconsciously, he believed that the United States was the most powerful country in the world, and the Avengers were the largest and strongest superhuman organization.

He couldn't join the Avengers as the Sorcerer Supreme, bringing Kamar-Taj with him, but he could certainly join as an individual.

Before Strange could speak, Skye preemptively refused. "My boss said the Shazo Legion will not join the Avengers."

Nick Fury frowned and asked, "Why? Don't you know that the power of unity is the greatest?"

Skye coughed twice, mimicking Shazo's tone, and replied, "The boss said: Nick Fury is a selfish and stupid bastard."

He has a bit of a strategic mindset, but not much!

He's got a lot of clever tricks up his sleeve, but no wisdom!

"His suspicions are more numerous than the waters of the Pacific Ocean; he trusts no one, yet he readily believes a woman who is never home and a bunch of aliens who spout lies."

He'll steal your things, then lend them to you, making you incredibly grateful.

He'll go to great lengths to drive people to the brink, forcing them to obey his orders, only to waste them for nothing!

"No matter who it is, following this Nick Fury will inevitably lead them astray."

Nick Fury was furious. "Slander! This is defamation!!"

Skye ignored him and continued, "The boss also said that the name ' Avengers ' sounds unlucky. Why would I want revenge?"

"Isn't it better to kill whoever threatens me first than to be violated and then seek revenge?"

After Skye finished speaking about Shazo, she said with a grin, "That's our Shazo Legion's answer."

Nick Fury sighed, "Mr. Shazo has a deep misunderstanding of me, of S.H.I.E.L.D.., and of the Avengers."

"Could I meet with Mr. Shazo and explain the misunderstanding to him?"

Skye sneered, "What? Didn't you find an opportunity to try and infiltrate our home and install surveillance cameras?"

"Didn't you try to sneak into our house, sit on our sofa without us noticing, and try to scare us?"

"Having committed all sorts of illegal and criminal acts, he still has the nerve to ask for a formal meeting. I must say, Nick Fury, you have a truly thick skin."

"In short, our boss has decided to avoid any direct contact with you, to avoid being implicated by your stupidity, ignorance, pettiness, and inability to distinguish friend from foe."

After saying that, Skye turned to leave, but several armed agents surrounded her and blocked her way.

Skye turned to Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..: "Nick Fury, what do you mean?"
