A One-Sided Rout!

On the streets of New York, the wind whipped up dust, but it couldn't dispel the tense and menacing atmosphere.

On one side are two lone alien invaders— Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian.

On the other side is a star-studded lineup that would give any villain a heart attack at first glance: Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Wong, plus Captain America, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch, and Ghost-Spider suddenly appeared.

This isn't a fight; it's a righteous mob attack.

"Um..." A crack finally appeared on Ebony Maw's deathly gray face, where elegance and arrogance had been present. He subconsciously took a half step back, looking at the group of Earthlings exuding a terrifying aura before him, his throat dry. "It seems Earth's hospitality... has been a little too enthusiastic."

"Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Jiang Li stood at the front of the line, twirling the Omnitrix on his wrist with a smile on his face.

"Cull Obsidian! Kill them all!"

Ebony Maw knew he couldn't delay any longer. If they waited until the group formed an encirclement, he and Cull Obsidian would both perish here today. He suddenly waved his hand, and the surrounding cars, streetlights, and bricks rose from the ground under the influence of his telekinesis, transforming into a torrent of steel that crashed down on the crowd.

"Roar!!"

The massive Cull Obsidian roared, wielding a giant chain hammer, and charged into the crowd like a runaway tank.

"That big guy is mine!"

Tony Stark was about to rush forward when a huge shadow blocked his view.

"Sorry, Tony, I'll take this job!"

Scott Lang (Ant-Man) pressed the regulator, and his body instantly swelled to a height of twenty meters! In his gigantic form, he raised his truck-sized foot and stomped down hard on the charging Cull Obsidian!

"Get out of here!!"

"Bang!!"

Before Cull Obsidian could even swing his chain hammer, he was kicked away, crashing through three buildings like a ball before finally embedding himself heavily in the park ground.

"Wow." Tony stopped in mid-air, his visor popping open, looking exasperated. "Scott, you stole my thunder."

"Hehe, this is the result of the Plumbers's training!" The giant Ant-Man scratched his head and chuckled.

On the other side, facing Ebony Maw's psychic storm.

"Playing with telekinesis?"

Wanda, dressed in red, suddenly had a burst of red light in her eyes—the color of Chaos Magic. After her special training at the Moon Base, she was no longer the little girl who could only throw energy balls.

She suddenly opened her arms wide, and red energy ripples instantly spread out.

Boom!

The flying cars and wreckage were frozen in mid-air by the red light, and then instantly turned into dust like crushed cookies.

"What?!" Ebony Maw was shocked. His psychic power was as fragile as a baby in the face of the opponent's strange red energy.

"Your mental strength is too weak," Wanda said coldly, her fingers twitching slightly as Chaos Magic directly enveloped Ebony Maw. "Now, it's mine."

Ebony Maw felt his body instantly lose control, lifted into the air by an irresistible force.

Just then...

"Spider-Man is here--!!"

A Silk clung to a streetlamp, and Peter Parker, clad in his Iron Spider suit (given to him by Tony beforehand), swung in on a swing. He'd originally come to help, but upon landing and seeing the scene... it seemed there was nothing for him to do?

"Uh... Mr. Stark? And... that's Captain America? Good heavens, that's a wanted criminal... no, I mean, that's Captain Steve!"

Spider-Man was so excited he was incoherent, then his gaze fell on the figure in the white hooded suit.

"That's... Ghost-Spider?"

Gwen, the Ghost-Spider from a parallel universe, removed her hood. "Looks like you've got new gear too."

Okay, we'll talk about it later.

He looked at Ebony Maw, who was being controlled by Wanda, and Cull Obsidian, who was crawling out of the ruins, enraged and furious.

"Since everyone has shown their skills, I can't just sit idly by."

Jiang Li raised his wrist, and the Omnitrix watch face spun, finally settling on a chilling icon.

"To deal with this kind of manipulative guy, you have to use some more 'underhanded' methods."

Snap!

A flash of green light appeared, but there was no explosive shockwave; instead, a chilling wind swept across the entire area.

Jiang Li disappeared.

Instead, a ghostly creature floated in mid-air. It had only one purple eye, its gray skin was as dry as a corpse, its ribs were flared out, and black patterns covered its entire body.

Ghostfreak!

Hehehe...

A sinister, hoarse laugh echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"Where are you?!" Ebony Maw looked around in horror, but his telekinetic senses couldn't detect the other person's presence at all.

"I'm right here... in your head."

Whoosh!

The Ghostfreak's illusory body instantly lengthened, like a wisp of gray smoke, and pierced directly into Ebony Maw's chest!

"Ughhhh!!"

Ebony Maw let out a piercing scream. His body convulsed violently, and something seemed to writhe beneath his gray skin. A few seconds later, his screams abruptly ceased.

Ebony Maw raised his head again.

But this time, his eyes changed. The cold, cunning gaze vanished, replaced by that single, mischievous purple eye that belonged to Ghostfreak.

"Hmm... this body is a bit thin, but its mental strength is passable."

Ebony Maw, possessed by "Jiang Li," stretched his neck and let out his signature hoarse laugh. He turned around and looked at Cull Obsidian, who had just climbed out of the pit and was preparing to charge again.

"Hey, big guy."

Ebony Maw raised his hand, unleashing a terrifying burst of psychic power—but this time, the target was his own teammate!

"Kneel down!"

Boom!!

Before Cull Obsidian could react, he was slammed to the ground by a massive, overwhelming psychic force, his entire body sinking into the asphalt and unable to move.

"Ebony Maw! Are you insane?!" Cull Obsidian roared.

"I'm not crazy, I just... changed the driver."

Ebony Maw grinned maliciously, flicked his finger, and a roadside fire hydrant exploded. Under the control of his telekinesis, the high-pressure water jet transformed into a water whip, lashing out at Cull Obsidian with a frenzied beating.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

"That's why you're so ugly! That's why you don't brush your teeth! That's why you litter!"

The Avengers were stunned by what they saw.

"Uh..." Spider-Man swallowed hard. "Mr. Stark, has Mr. Jiang Li always been like this... uh, special?"

"You'll get used to it." Tony opened his visor, shrugged, and said, "He always likes to pull these kinds of wicked tricks. But I have to admit... it's kind of satisfying to watch."

After a brutal beating, Cull Obsidian completely passed out.

Jiang Li had had enough fun. Gray smoke emerged from Ebony Maw's body, reforming into a Ghostfreak form.

Without the possessor, Ebony Maw collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth—the possession of Ghostfreak not only controls the body but also causes a tremendous shock of fear to the host's mind.

[Ding! "Ebony Maw" detected exhibiting extreme fear; Emotion Points +8888!]

Jiang Li deactivated his transformation and reverted to human form. Looking at the mess, he clapped his hands in satisfaction.

He turned to look at the dumbfounded Doctor Strange and Wong.

"How about that, Mage? This is the efficiency of the Plumbers. No need to hand over the Time Stone, no need to wander in outer space."

Doctor Strange looked at the two powerful aliens lying on the ground, then at this super team capable of sweeping across Earth, and finally sighed, putting away his magic shield.

"So next..." Jiang Li's gaze deepened as he looked up at the sky, as if piercing through the atmosphere to see the Sanctuary II approaching Earth.
