Rally at the New York Sanctum!

177A Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village, New York

Inside the Sanctum Sanctorum, a faint scent of sandalwood and... tuna filled the air.

Stephen Doctor Strange was about to enjoy his lunch, while Wong was counting the Riel in his pocket with a serious expression, as if he were calculating the probability of the Multiverse being destroyed. In reality, he was just figuring out whether he could afford a meat sandwich from the deli next door.

"I said, can't you just conjure some money with magic?" Doctor Strange asked, taking a bite of his sandwich, his words muffled. "Or maybe we could sell that vase?"

"This is blasphemy against magic, Stephen." Wang said solemnly, stuffing the coin back into his pocket. "Moreover, matter conversion will disrupt the economic anchor of the real world, which is even more troublesome than Dormammu's invasion."

"Buzz--!!"

Just as the two were discussing magical ethics, the space in the center of the Sanctum's hall suddenly shattered like a mirror. A vortex-shaped portal radiating a dense green light tore open out of thin air, carrying with it a bone-chilling cold from deep space, instantly lowering the room temperature to freezing point.

"Alert!"

Doctor Strange reacted extremely quickly, instantly forming a magic shield in his hand. Wang Ye immediately lit up the Rings of Raggador in both hands and assumed a battle stance.

However, what emerged from the portal was neither a follower of Dormammu nor some other-dimensional demon god, but a black-haired boy brushing ice shards off his body and looking gloomy.

"Phew... Damn it, next time I definitely need to bring my body temperature back up before the Arctiguana's transformation ends."

Jiang Li out of the teleportation portal, casually closing the passage behind him. He glanced at the two mages who were on high alert, and waved familiarly, "Yo, Doctor Strange, and Wang. What did you have for lunch? Did you have any left? I just fought a warship in space, so I'm a little low on blood sugar."

"Jiang Li?"

Doctor Strange dispelled the magic shield in his hand, frowned, and looked at Jiang Li's clothes, which still carried the aura of cosmic radiation. "Why does he look like he just crawled out of a freezer? And this chill... it even froze the Aether?"

Jiang Li walked to the antique chair next to him and sat down, his expression turning serious. "Stop eating, you two. This is a big problem."

He pointed to the ceiling, as if looking through the roof into the vast depths of space.

"Asgard is destroyed. A purple-skinned monster named Thanos is heading towards Earth, accompanied by a fleet and several henchmen who look like characters from horror movies. His target is the pendant you're wearing— the Time Stone."

"Thanos?" Wang's expression changed drastically, and the magic circle in his hand almost dissipated. "That Mad Titan?"

"It seems you've heard of him." Jiang Li nodded. "He already possesses the Power Stone. In short, this is a cosmic-level crisis."

"I need to inform Tony Stark immediately." Doctor Strange realized the gravity of the situation and stood up abruptly. "Although I hate to admit it, we need the Avengers."

"No need for that trouble."

Jiang Li raised his wrist and pressed a red communication button on the Omnitrix. "I have a faster way to call in reinforcements. Besides, the Avengers alone aren't enough; we need something more professional."

Five minutes later.

With the roar of an engine, a flashy Audi sports car screeched to a halt in front of the Sanctum. Tony Stark stormed through the gate, took off his sunglasses, and glared at Jiang Li with displeasure.

"I was discussing with Pepper whether we should order a gluten-free cake for the wedding, it's a big deal! And then you triggered that ' Plumbers ' emergency chip I gave you?"

Tony walked up to Jiang Li, pointed to his chest, and said, "Do you know how scary it is when that thing vibrates? Pepper thought I had another heart attack!"

"If I hadn't called you, you might not even be able to have your wedding later."

Jiang Li stood up, but didn't joke around as usual.

"Tony, remember the ' Cosmic Family Planning Commission ' I mentioned to you before? That madman who wanted to kill half of all life in the universe to achieve his environmental dream."

Tony's expression froze instantly. The shadow that had been troubling him ever since the Battle of New York had finally materialized.

"You mean... he's here?" Tony's voice lowered, a flicker of anxiety crossing his eyes.

"It's already on its way."

Jiang Li walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the Sanctum and looked out at the peaceful New York streets.

"Moreover, his vanguard has already arrived."

As if to confirm Jiang Li's words

The once clear sky was suddenly whipped into a fierce wind, and fallen leaves and trash from the street were swept into the air. Pedestrians screamed in panic and scattered in all directions.

A gigantic, donut-shaped spaceship, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, pierced through the clouds and hovered over New York. The deafening roar of its engines shattered the windows of surrounding buildings, plunging the entire city into chaos.

"Wow." Tony stared at the enormous spaceship, its nanotech suit's reactor already glowing. "This thing is way bigger than that 'whale' from the Battle of New York."

"Let's go out and greet the guests."

Jiang Li, hands in his pockets, walked towards the door first. Doctor Strange donned his Cloak of Levitation, Wang activated magic circles on his hands, Tony tapped his chest, and Mark 50 Nanotech Armor fluidly covered his entire body.

The streets were a mess.

With a blue beam of light guiding the way, two figures descended from the spaceship.

One was Cull Obsidian, a tall figure wielding a giant axe; the other was Ebony Maw, pale-faced and resembling an elegant vampire.

Ebony Maw surveyed the terrified crowd around him, a look of disgust on his face, as if he were looking at a herd of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

"Listen to me, and enjoy it..."

"Stop! Halt!"

Before he could even begin reciting those familiar lines, an impatient voice interrupted him.

Jiang Li stood in the middle of the street with the Avengers: Infinity War, looking at Ebony Maw with disdain. "Why is it the same old lines again? Do you villains only have one copywriter? I was already tired of hearing them in space. Can't you come up with something new?"

Upon seeing Jiang Li, Ebony Maw's elegant expression instantly turned ferocious.

"It's you... that Earthling." Ebony Maw clearly recognized the guy who froze Sanctuary II in space. "Father has a huge bounty on your head. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll take the jewels with you."

"Then he might go bankrupt."

Jiang Li sneered and turned to look at Tony and Doctor Strange beside him.

"Tony, that big guy is yours, and that kid who's about to swing over (referring to Spider-Man). Wizard, protect your gem."

"And what about you?" Tony asked, his Palm Cannon fully charged.

Jiang Li raised his left hand; the Omnitrix gleamed a dangerous green light in the sunlight. He looked at Ebony Maw and the massive spaceship in the sky.

"I?"

Jiang Li's lips curled into an arrogant smile, his mind already connected to the Moon Plumbers's war channel.

"Gwen, teleport everyone to their positions! Give our guests a little ' Plumbers Shock'!"

"Received! Plumbers Teleportation Array - Activate!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Jiang Li finished speaking, the space directly beneath the donut-shaped spaceship suddenly fluctuated violently.

Three enormous green portals suddenly tore open!

From the door on the left emerged Steve Rogers (Captain America), wielding Vibranium Shield and sporting a large beard, and Bucky, who, despite losing an arm, had been fitted with a specially made Vibranium mechanical arm from the Plumbers.

From the door on the right, Sam Falcon with mechanical wings flew out, along with Scott Lang (Ant-Man) riding a giant flying ant.

From the middle door, Wanda (Scarlet Witch), dressed in red with eyes burning with the red light of Chaos Magic, slowly floated out. Behind her was Gwen, the Ghost-Spider Gwen, wearing white battle armor with golden hair peeking out from under her hood.

"Tony."

Captain America looked at the figure clad in nanotech armor, nodded slightly, his eyes filled with a complex yet resolute expression, and said, "We need to fight this battle together."

Tony looked at his former comrade-in-arms, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath his visor, before finally letting out a cold snort, "Late, old popsicle. But I forgive you this time."

The Plumbers (the complete Avengers), assemble!

Even Ebony Maw, with his deathly pale face, showed a hint of surprise upon seeing this suddenly appearing army of superheroes. The intelligence... hadn't mentioned Earth possessing a defense force of this caliber?

Jiang Li stood at the very front of the group, and Omnitrix slammed down.

"It's Hero Time!"
