Master of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 8: Chaldea, the Organization for the Preservation of Humanity

"Get out of here!"

Shen He operated the mech while using its loudspeakers to disperse the crowd.

At this point, New York's citizens had not yet experienced that great battle. Their ability to respond to emergencies was far inferior to what it would be in the future, and many of them were frozen with fear.

Bang!

The sound of vehicles crashing forward rang out. Shen He glanced over and saw several black trucks charging toward him.

Their open cargo beds were conspicuously equipped with heavy weapons such as Gatling guns.

Very good, very powerful. A single gang was this heavily armed! As expected of the Marvel Universe.

But this was not the time for sarcasm.

Following the instructions in his mind, Shen He activated the targeting system and abruptly raised both palms. Several spherical Hadron Cannons blasted from the insides of his hands, accurately striking the enemies under the automatic targeting system.

In an instant, the once-peaceful street resembled a battlefield. Charred debris and blazing flames scattered in every direction, explosions and screams intertwining as the air filled with the metallic stench of blood and acrid black smoke.

Civilian casualties were unavoidable...

Shen He reined in some of his playful attitude, but more and more gangsters kept pouring in.

These bastards!

Due to energy limitations, Mirage's absolute defensive force field could only protect the front of the mech.

Moreover, Shen He was still a novice and operated it rather clumsily, while the other side was made up of ruthless criminals who used rocket launchers like handguns.

In an instant, Shen He made his decision.

His priority was protecting the civilians and stalling until Saiki Kusuo dealt with the people in the high-rise.

After all, why had I, a Master, run up to the enemy without my Servant?

"Everyone, run this way!"

He smashed open the glass doors of a nearby high-rise. The massive Mirage mech expanded its pink defensive force field to the limit, blocking the bombardment from the front and creating a safe spot on this chaotic street.

Wait... were those missiles?

Several newly arrived enemy trucks were conspicuously fitted with warheads thirty to forty centimeters in diameter!

This was bad. Even if he blocked them, the explosions would turn the surrounding area into hell.

Just as Shen He was falling into a predicament.

Boom—!

A flash of white light streaked past, and the gangsters preparing to launch the missiles were accurately struck by small tracking bullets.

"What is this?"

A red-and-gold suit of armor descended from the sky.

Iron Man, who had left, had come running back.
