Facing Off Against the Fleet

Planet CY-27 is a planet where no civilization has yet emerged. It is somewhat similar to Earth in the Middle Jurassic period. The planet's surface is covered with lush vegetation, and the climate is warm and the air is humid.

The creatures on the planet are also enormous, but their appearances are far from flattering, varying wildly in all shapes and sizes.

The Cybertron jet was hidden in a river, using the surrounding dense forest as cover to conceal its presence, making it very unlikely to be discovered.

"Strange, it's been three days, why are there even more people searching?"

Every now and then a spaceship would fly by, making Russell wonder if it was really as Natasha said, that the important figure of the Chitauri had not been captured because of his butterfly wings and had successfully escaped the encirclement.

If that's the case, he's really unlucky!

"Boss, the search frequency is getting more and more intense. The enemy is tightening their encirclement. If this continues, we'll be discovered soon," Natasha analyzed.

"We'll talk about it when we get caught..."

The dense forest next door houses the underground caves where the Chitauri hide.

"The search party is growing larger and larger; they're definitely after me." The Chitauri slammed his fist on the wall, angrily saying, "I thought I was safe hiding here, but we've still been discovered. The Black Order lives up to its reputation!"

"Leader, the Black Order is tightening its encirclement. If we continue, we will only face certain death."

"I understand!" The Chitauri leader's voice deepened as he struggled with his decision.

"Chief, we're about to be discovered, what should we do?"

"We'll talk about it when we get caught..."

In the sky, Corvus Glaive's flagship drifted below the atmosphere. He looked down at the dense primeval jungle and frowned, saying, "What's going on with the ground forces? Haven't they found the Chitauri yet?"

"The Chitauri leader is well hidden, but we have narrowed down the area, and he will likely be exposed soon."

A Bloodlust glint flashed in Corvus Glaive's eyes. "Order the air force to conduct carpet bombing of the search area. I don't want to waste time; blast him out."

"But... our mission is to capture them alive..."

"Now I'm in charge. Order the shelling!"

"Yes, General."

Boom! Boom! Rumble—

The menacing muzzles spewed flames, unleashing deadly missiles, and the dark green earth was suddenly engulfed in fiery red balls. Startled birds took flight, and beasts fled in terror as the crimson sea of fire gradually swallowed the green...

Looking down at the jungle reduced to ruins, Corvus Glaive's eyes gleamed with even greater ferocity. He was the leader of Thanos' Black Order, second only to Thanos in rank, but unlike Thanos' other followers, he was not loyal to Thanos because of Thanos's charisma.

Corvus Glaive's only goals are war and bloodshed; whoever can provide these things is his master.

"General, the hiding spaceship has been located, and ground forces have surrounded it."

"Did they resist?" Corvus Glaive nodded and asked abruptly.

"The Chitauri didn't resist, but... another group did!"

"Another group! Where did this other group come from?" Corvus Glaive was taken aback.

The deputy mediated the broken arm and opened a projection in front of Corvus Glaive. A man and a woman appeared on the screen, both armed and highly skilled. They handled the encirclement with ease, inflicting considerable casualties on the ground troops.

"Interesting!"

Corvus Glaive grinned. "Pass on my orders that the air force is not allowed to use artillery. I'm going down to meet them."

Amidst the ruins, the earth, scorched by the flames, was a scorched wasteland, with Heat Wave rising up, prompting Russell to curse a few times; his bad luck today was unparalleled.

In the previous round of shelling, the Cybertron jet fighter hiding underwater was unfortunately hit. Although it was not in mortal danger, the jet fighter was severely damaged and its entire fuselage was blown over.

Cybertron jet fighters have extremely high metal remodeling capabilities, Russell could repair them completely, so there was no need to worry about being trapped on this backward planet. The problem was, the Black Order's ground forces discovered him and Natasha and immediately tried to silence them, forcing him to fight back.

Another thing that made him extremely unlucky was that the leader of the Chitauri was also hiding in this dense forest. The universe is so vast, he just randomly chose a planet and a random landing site, and he just randomly became neighbors with the other party.

How incredibly unlucky must he be to encounter such a low probability event?

The Chitauri leader was actually more unfortunate. He only learned when he was captured that his exposure was not due to his lack of concealment, but because Russell had attracted the Black Order.

Upon learning the reason, the Chitauri leader nearly fainted from anger. He secretly memorized Russell's face and vowed that if he survived this, he would lead his army to attack Russell's homeworld and make him taste the same bitterness...

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—

With the feared air fire failing to cover them, Russell no longer had any worries and, wielding his dual pistols, repeatedly struck the ground troops who were closing in.

The ground forces appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, besieging the alien minions of Wakanda. They had gaping mouths, sharp teeth and claws, and resembled bleached Venom.

These monsters possessed immense strength, with four extremely sharp forelimbs and fangs. Their speed was phenomenal when they landed on their forelimbs, and their sheer numbers kept Russell and Natasha busy. They had a formidable name: the Outriders, henchmen of the Black Order who considered death an honor and were utterly loyal to Thanos.

Natasha used two laser guns to assist Russell's attacks, shielding him from sneak attacks from behind. Whenever the monsters swarmed close, Russell would unleash a bolt of lightning, clearing a space to continue the fight.

"Boss, we're almost out of ammo!"

"I'll be there soon too..."

The two stood atop a small hill piled high with the corpses of alien monsters. Russell surveyed the terrifying, seemingly endless number of them, quickly flipped through the Character Card, and selected one that was extremely suitable for group battles.

Russell felt somewhat disadvantaged by being forced to use this card, but with enemies both in the sky and on the ground, this card was the most suitable option.

Just then, the monsters' dense attack suddenly stopped, automatically retreating and clearing a large open space. A group of guards escorted a thin figure dressed in black robes as he walked out.

The leader was dressed in a black combat suit, his dark blue face beneath the Cloak contorted in a ferocious grimace. He had long, slender limbs and held a golden Glaive in his hand. The Glaive was bi-edged, its sharp edges radiating a chilling aura!

[Bite!]

[The host has come into contact with the story character Corvus Glaive, triggering Lottery Draw and granting two chances to draw. Would you like to draw now?]

"Extract!"

[Skill Card: Super Speed Recovery (Even the most severe wounds can heal rapidly)]

[Item Card: Peerless Blade (Indestructible, incredibly sharp, and can also house the user's soul; even if the body disappears, as long as this Glaive remains, the user can be resurrected infinitely)]

"Corvus Glaive!"

Russell read out the name of the Corvus Glaive. He was a little disappointed that he didn't get the Character Card, but the two draws were definitely worth it, especially the Item Card for the Peerless Blade, which looked very powerful.

"You two are quite skilled. Pledge your allegiance to me, and I'll give you a chance to live." Corvus Glaive wasn't surprised at all to have his name called out. He was somewhat famous in the universe, albeit infamously.

"Swear allegiance to you?" Russell chuckled. "If it were your master Thanos saying that, it might be somewhat possible, but you... forget it!"

Russell gave him a disdainful glance, his contempt undisguised, which enraged Corvus Glaive. He dismissed his guards and strode toward Russell, intending to kill him himself.

After taking only a few steps, Corvus Glaive stopped, frowning as he looked back at the spot where he had just stood. In his line of sight, a masked figure appeared silently, and with a few flashes of cold light, cut his guards to pieces.

"Oh, an undead, is he your magical creation?" Corvus Glaive became interested, his gaze lingering on Russell's twin pistols. He had sensed the Magic Power on Russell before, and now he was even more certain.

Russell did not respond. Jason is Immortal Body and uses a reinforced Elder White Ape body. With his Vibranium -forged machete, he can be seen as a weakened version of Corvus Glaive.

However, there are many instances where knock-offs have overshadowed the originals. Since the two never fought, it cannot be concluded that Jason is inferior to Corvus Glaive!

"Jason, take him down."

Russell ordered Jason to take action, while simultaneously considering the consequences of messing with Corvus Glaive...

Jason received the order, his stiff body suddenly sprang to life, his feet slamming heavily onto the ground as he charged towards Corvus Glaive, his raised cleaver slashing down rapidly.

Clang!

Sparks flew Corvus Glaive held his Glaive out to block the powerful blow. The Vibranium -forged Glaive was not damaged in the slightest, demonstrating its incredible durability.

"His strength is not bad, but he's too rigid."

Corvus Glaive chuckled, pushed aside Jason's oppressive force, kicked him in the chest, then swung his Glaive to the side, slashing twice and cutting Jason in half at the waist.

Jason, his upper body suspended in mid-air, locked his eyes on Corvus Glaive and suddenly hurled the machete in his hand.

Sizzle!

A cold glint accompanied by bloodstains flashed as the Blade penetrated deep into Corvus Glaive's chest, reaching the hilt.

"Yes, this knife is very sharp."

A glint of light flashed in Corvus Glaive's eyes. His Glaive sliced through the air, slicing Jason's upper body into pieces. He turned and pulled the machete from his chest, glanced at it, and then threw it to the ground.

His fatal chest wound healed extremely quickly, almost instantly after being pulled out, leaving Natasha speechless.

On the ground, Jason's body was also healing itself, but the speed was noticeably slower. Just as he finished healing, Corvus Glaive arrived, beheaded him, and kicked him away.

"Your magical creation is quite impressive. How about giving it to me in exchange for your life?" Corvus Glaive defeated Jason in a few moves. Even though the latter was Immortal Body, he didn't care too much and instead provoked Russell.

"System, use 'Character Card: Koyatai Stark'."

[Host equipped with 'Character Card: Coryat Stark', countdown 460 seconds, start time]

The number one monster among the Espada, when equipped with this card, unleashed a terrifying power within Russell that defied description.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he could take on the entire fleet one-on-one!
