Alien Dungeon Opens!

"MAX-Act! Red Hot Cyclone!"

Chen Tian's figure instantly transformed into a crimson hurricane, and the Red Queen released countless blazing sword energies as she spun at high speed.

The Outriders army fell in droves like harvested straw in a wheat field. The monsters that were hit first stiffened, then burst out with blue-black energy flames from within, and finally turned to ashes.

"Crimson Needle - Star Rain!" Natasha's voice came from high above. She hovered in mid-air, the red light at the tip of her index finger flashing, and thousands of red beams of light poured down like a torrential rain, filling every gap in Chen Tian's attack.

Not to be outdone, Tony unfurled his six mechanical wings and began charging. "Try this!" A blue-white plasma beam swept across the battlefield, evaporating the Outriders group that attempted to flank him.

Steve took a deep breath, and the Leo Gold Cloth shone brightly. "Lightning Plasma!" Countless golden fist shadows rained down on the enemy formation like a meteor shower, each strike triggering a small-scale energy explosion.

Wakanda Plains: The Edge of Battle

In the dense forest behind the Outriders army, a woman in a white robe stood silently. She slowly removed her hood, revealing a blue face— the Supergiant, one of Thanos 'Black Order. Her eyes gleamed with an eerie light, as if they could see through everything.

"You all know your mission, right?" The Supergiant's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth. A dark purple energy crystal floated between her slender fingers, with liquid seemingly flowing inside.

Nebula crossed her arms, her blue and mechanical skin appearing particularly somber in the shadows of the trees. "Just throw that thing next to Chen Tian? Is it that simple?" Her tone was clearly skeptical.

She scoffed, her mechanical eyes flashing red. "Supergiant, why aren't you going up?" She glared defiantly at the other, "Or... are you scared?"

A disdainful smile curled at the corner of the Supergiant's lips. She didn't even bother to glance at Nebula, simply raising her hand slightly—

"Ah!" Nebula suddenly collapsed to her knees in agony, her mechanical body convulsing violently. It felt as if a thousand needles were piercing her nervous system.

"Watch your attitude, modified creature." Supergiant withdrew his finger, and Nebula's pain immediately ceased. "You are nothing but Lord Thanos's tool, and I... am the executor." (Thanos is translated as Thanos, Thanos is another name; this distinction is made here to show respect to Thanos's subordinates.)

She looked into Nebula's hateful eyes and raised her chin disdainfully.

"Now, you need to do what you're supposed to do." Supergiant suddenly laughed, a chilling laugh. "If it weren't for the Ancient One's seclusion, and the Asgard Odin's slumber," her blue eyes stared directly at the Nebula, "We wouldn't be here. I don't want to attract Odin's attention by taking action."

"Now, go." The Supergiant tossed the energy crystal to Nebula. "Don't be murderous, don't make any unnecessary movements. Chen Tian's intuition is very sharp." Her figure began to become transparent. "Remember, the consequences of failure... are more terrible than death."

With a spatial distortion, the Supergiant vanished from its spot, leaving only a few pieces of white fabric drifting down.

Nebula scrambled to her feet, her mechanical joints creaking and grinding. "Bitch..."

She picked up the energy crystal from the ground, examined it, and smiled dismissively, "What's the use of something that has absolutely no energy?"

Although they were complaining, their bodies were obediently Stealth to the battlefield.

On the edge of the battlefield, amidst piles of corpses

Nebula held her breath, her mechanical body perfectly mimicking the temperature and condition of a corpse. Like a real corpse, she swayed slightly with the aftershocks of the battle. The mental shield cast by the Supergiant made her blend into the battlefield background like a speck of dust.

Her mechanical eyes locked onto Chen Tian's battle trajectory, calculating the optimal moment. The instant Chen Tian completed a release of 'Virtual Style: Zi', his body momentarily stiffened—

Now!

Nebula suddenly sprang up from the pile of corpses, preparing to hurl the dark purple crystal at Chen Tian's back.

"Success!" A hint of satisfaction flashed in Nebula's mechanical eyes.

However, the next second--

"Clang!"

A flash of silver light streaked past, and Nebula's mechanical arm was severed at the wrist, sparks flying from the break. The dark purple crystal was precisely struck by a silver blade of light, exploding into a harmless cloud of purple smoke in mid-air.

"What?!" Nebula staggered back, staring incredulously at the silver-haired figure that had suddenly appeared before her.

2B held Virtuous Contract, the tip of the blade still bearing the sparks of electricity from severing the mechanical arm. Her blindfold flashed a cold blue light. "Malicious attack detected. Execution procedure."

Chen Tian turned around and raised an eyebrow upon seeing the scene. "Oh, isn't this Thanos's second daughter? Ha, I knew it. The Outriders's appearance here must have a conspiracy." He looked mockingly at Nebula's severed arm, "Looks like your father didn't teach you that sneak attacks are impolite."

Nebula's face was ashen, and her mechanical body trembled slightly with rage.

2B did not reply, but simply assumed a fighting stance. "Warning: Target threat level increased. Immediate annihilation recommended."

Chen Tian cracked his knuckles, and the Red Queen's engine roared to life again, "Since you're here, don't leave." He looked at 2B, "Thanks, 2B, but... can I have her?"

2B nodded slightly, took a half step back but remained vigilant. "Master, I will continue to be in charge of battlefield containment."

Seeing the situation was dire, Nebula's remaining mechanical arms stealthily reached for the space jump device at her waist. However—

"Trying to escape?" Chen Tian raised his left hand, "Cang!"

The powerful gravitational field instantly froze the Nebula in place. To her horror, she discovered that she couldn't even move a finger.

"You know what?" Chen Tian approached slowly, the tip of Red Queen's sword drawing a fiery trail on the ground, "I've recently been researching... how to dismantle Thanos's toys."

Nebula's mechanical pupils dilated; she finally realized—she had messed with the wrong person.

The roar of the Red Queen's engine abruptly ceased, the blade now only three inches from Nebula's mechanical head. Chen Tian sensed malice and was about to use his teleportation ability to escape when the chilling voice of the Supergiant suddenly rang in his ears:

"Trash is trash."

The sound seemed to come from all directions at once, or as if it exploded directly in his brain. Chen Tian suddenly looked up, scanning his surroundings with all Six Eyes open, but he could not detect any energy fluctuations.

"Chen Tian, go to space." The Supergiant's voice carried a twisted laugh. "Lord Thanos would very much like to meet you."

"What?!"

Chen Tian looked down and discovered that his feet were now covered with purple cracks, like ice breaking open. The crystalline fragments that 2B had shattered were writhing wildly, spreading towards his feet like living things. Even more terrifying—this energy had completely escaped his perception!

"2B!" Chen Tian roared, his voice unusually urgent. "Get Dante and the others to cooperate with the Arbitrators!"

2B immediately understood, "Emergency protocol activated—"

Before he could finish speaking, the space beneath Chen Tian's feet suddenly collapsed. A miniature black hole, two meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air, with a strange purple Nebula swirling inside. The powerful suction instantly swallowed Chen Tian, and the last thing he saw was 2B's outstretched hand and the Nebula's astonished expression.

Wakanda Battlefield - Three Seconds Later

2B's tactical goggles suddenly flashed a blinding red light, and she called out to Vergil and the others without hesitation, "Attention everyone, Master has been forcibly teleported. Come to Wakanda immediately and clear the battlefield."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spatial rift suddenly opened up in the sky above the entire battlefield. Purple lightning danced wildly at the edge of the rift, as if the sky had been torn open with a hideous wound.

"Boom--!"

With a deafening explosion, four figures descended from the crack.

The first thing to hit the ground was a bolt of blue lightning. Vergil's robes fluttered in the gale, and the moment the Yamato was drawn, the Outriders within a hundred-meter radius was simultaneously cut in two. The remaining blue sword energy at the cut still hissed in the air.

"Boring grunts." He coldly surveyed the battlefield, and wherever his gaze fell, the surviving monsters were sliced into pieces.

Immediately following was a crimson storm. Dante spun as he descended from the sky, the Rebellion crashing to the ground with devastating energy. "Party time~" he whistled, the shockwave from his landing instantly shattering dozens of Outriders into pieces.

The crisp sound of high heels echoed from high above. Bayonetta gracefully descended from the sky, firing all four magical artifacts simultaneously. "Bang~" She parted her red lips slightly, and hundreds of magical bullets wove a net of death, vaporizing all enemies in the area.

Finally, a dark figure Descent. Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo shattered the spatial barrier, and with a sweep of his twin swords, the remaining Outriders army fell like ears of wheat. He surveyed the battlefield with disdain, a hint of contempt flashing in his Rinnegan.

The entire battlefield was completely wiped out within ten seconds of the four men's Descent. The once Outriders army was now reduced to smoldering wreckage.

Nebula knelt there, stunned, her mechanical pupils contracting sharply. She stared at the four monsters that had suddenly appeared—each emanating energy comparable to Thanos himself, perhaps even stronger. What was even more terrifying was that they hadn't even used their full strength when they cleared the area, as if they were casually brushing dust off their clothes.

When Tony and his companions saw the battlefield instantly cleared after the four arrived, they were all stunned. Thousands of Outriders, all dead?

Tony was about to complain to Chen Tian when he realized that Chen Tian was not on the battlefield. He quickly tried to connect to the communication system, but there was no response.

His expression became somewhat out of control, and he quickly maneuvered his armor to fly to 2B's side.

"2B! Where's Chen Tian?!" His voice was a little hoarse. Chen Tian had suddenly disappeared a few years ago, and his disappearance again this time filled him with panic.

2B shook her head slightly. "Master was forcibly teleported, the wormhole coordinates cannot be locked." Her voice remained calm, but her fingertips tightened slightly, the Virtuous Contract's Blade gleaming coldly. "However—"

Her gaze shifted to Nebula kneeling on the ground, a rare hint of chilling killing intent flashing in her mechanical pupils. "She might know."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Nebula.

Nebula's mechanical body trembled slightly as she looked up at the crowd that had gathered around her— Tony's Iron Man Armor, Steve's Gold Cloth, 2B's chilling killing intent, and... the four monsters that had just Descent.

Dante, hands in his trench coat pockets, lazily whistled, "Hey, isn't this Thanos's rebellious little princess?" He crouched down, grinning, "What, did Dad send you here to die?"

Vergil didn't waste any words; he pressed the Yamato directly against Nebula's throat, his voice as cold as ice. "Speak."

Nebula's mechanical pupils contracted; she could feel it—with a single, gentle slash, this blade would sever her entire system instantly. "I... I was just following orders!" she gritted her teeth, her mechanical voice trembling slightly. "The Supergiant only told me to throw the crystal at Chen Tian; he didn't tell me anything else!"

Tony clenched his fist tightly. "Damn it! So even you don't know where Chen Tian was teleported to?"

Steve's expression turned grave. "It seems they never intended for you to know the full picture of the mission."

Bayonetta tossed her long hair, a slight smile playing on her red lips, "Oh? Looks like you're just another pawn to be casually discarded~"

Nebula's mechanical body trembled slightly; this fact humiliated her more than any threat. She truly didn't know— the Supergiant hadn't told her about the follow-up plans at all; she was merely a tool being used.

Madara Uchiha said indifferently, "Kill them, they're just useless trash."

Nebula's mechanical pupils contracted sharply. When she looked into Tony's murderous eyes, she instinctively wanted to back away, but the people surrounding her wouldn't let her go.

"A mechanical body?" Tony grinned maliciously. Chen Tian's renewed disappearance ignited a surge of violent emotions within him. "That proves we can hack in."

"Take her back to Wakanda. I believe Princess Shuri will enjoy working with me on this robotic creation!" Tony's voice was low, but everyone present could hear the barely suppressed rage emanating from him.

Beneath Tony's visor, his eyes were bloodshot. His breathing was rapid, and the HUD inside his armor flashed warnings—abnormal heart rate, soaring blood pressure, and excessive adrenaline.

"Tony!" Steve grabbed his shoulder. "Calm down!"

"Calm down?!" Tony abruptly shook off his hand. "Steve, how can you expect me to calm down?! Last time he disappeared for three whole years, and this time!"

He roared angrily, "--He was thrown into space! Who knows if he can survive in space?!"

Nebula could sense that Tony Stark truly wanted to kill her.

Dante whistled, "Wow, my idol's gone berserk!"

Vergil gave it a cold glance. "Well said, I agree with Tony Stark."

Bayonetta, however, observed Tony with great interest. "Oh my~ it seems my husband has a super, super caring 'elder'."

2B's tactical visor locked onto Tony: "Stark, please calm down. Don't forget who we are."

Tony's fists clenched so tightly in his armor that they cracked. 2B's words were like a bucket of ice water poured on his boiling rage, bringing him back to his senses slightly.

"You're right..." Tony took a deep breath, "But we need to know Chen Tian's whereabouts." He turned to Nebula, "With Shuri's technology and my algorithms, I believe I can soon break you down into basic code."

Vergil's Yamato suddenly appeared in front of Tony: "Wait." Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he flicked the tip of his blade, pulling a tiny device flashing red light from Nebula's neck. "Thanos's safety measure." The device exploded into a ball of blue electricity at the tip of his blade.

"Ha!" Dante stomped on the smoking wreckage, "I knew this girl had a bomb in her head!"

Steve breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tony calm down a bit. He looked at Nebula, then at Tony, "Tony, you can try to get information, but I don't want to see you run rampant, and I believe Chen Tian doesn't want that either."

Steve's words left everyone present speechless.

Tony replied dismissively, "Okay, okay, shall we take her back to Wakanda now?"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Nebula slammed her remaining hand against her head, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she collapsed to the ground.

Behind her, Natasha's face was ashen, her crimson nails retracting from the back of Nebula's neck. "My toxin, even machines can't resist it."

With that, she glared at Tony with murderous intent, "Tony Stark, I don't care what method you use, get Chen Tian's location out of her head!"

Tony sneered, "Don't worry, Natasha, I will."

Looking at himself, so out of place, Steve sighed and suddenly missed Sam, that Haji Black from Washington District.

Chen Tian tumbled through the spatial passage, constantly using 'Cang' and 'He' to stabilize his body. It was in this way that the collision of gravity and repulsion caused the spatial passage to become unstable.

As Chen Tian's vision began to stabilize, the noise reached his ears. He felt his feet touch the ground, looked up, and the noise around him suddenly stopped.

He looked up and found himself standing in the center of a magnificent circular plaza, surrounded by towering metal buildings that shimmered with pale blue energy halos. Countless spacecraft hovered in the sky, and at that moment—all the aliens' eyes were focused on him.

"Warning! Unauthorized spatial fluctuations!" (This is in alien language, consider it a translation.)

A piercing alarm blared throughout the city, and red warning grids suddenly appeared on the ground. Dozens of the Legion soldiers clad in blue and gold armor surged in from all directions, their energy rifles all aimed at him.

Chen Tian frowned, his Six Eyes quickly scanning his surroundings—he couldn't understand the aliens' language, but the hostility permeating the air was clearly discernible.

An alien resembling an officer stepped forward, his eyes beneath his helmet gleaming with wariness. "*&%#@!(unknown language)"

Chen Tian spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm. "I don't understand."

The officer seemed to realize the language barrier, and made a few gestures on his wrist guard. A mechanical translator's voice then rang out. "Unauthorized intruder! Disarm immediately!"

Chen Tian raised an eyebrow. "What if I said this was a misunderstanding?"

"Repeat! Disarm!" The officer's energy rifle began to charge, and the surrounding soldiers tightened their triggers.

Chen Tian sighed, "It seems there's no point in negotiating."

Just as the Nova Corps was about to open fire--

"Azure."

An invisible gravitational field suddenly erupted, and all the soldiers suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if they were being pressed to the ground by an invisible giant hand.

Chen Tian, with one hand in his pocket, carried the Red Queen on his back. "I told you, this is a misunderstanding."

Chen Tian's actions instantly plunged the entire square into chaos.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A piercing alarm blared through the sky, and more soldiers in blue-gold armor surged in from all directions. Energy turrets rose from the top of the building, and countless red dots locked onto Chen Tian, covering his body.

Chen Tian sighed, squatted down, rested his chin on his hand, and looked at the alien officer whose face was flushed red from being pressed down. "Hey, can we communicate properly?"

The officer's breathing was rapid, his eyes beneath his helmet filled with anger and terror. "You... who are you?!"

"Oh? Now you're speaking properly?" Chen Tian raised an eyebrow. "Where is this?"

The officer gritted his teeth. "This is Xandar! The Nova Corps headquarters! You can't escape!"

"Xandar?" Chen Tian pondered for a moment. "Nova Corps Headquarters?" He stood up, looked around, and his Six Eyes swept over the soldiers who looked like they were facing a great enemy and the fighter jets that were taking off.

"Why did Thanos teleport me here?"

"Thanos?!" The officer's expression changed instantly. "You're one of Thanos's men?!"

Chen Tian scoffed, "Looks like you really can't understand human language."

He raised his hand and waved it, and the gravitational field was suddenly released. All the suppressed soldiers were thrown up and staggered backward.

"Listen, I was just tricked and inexplicably teleported here." Chen Tian shrugged. "I have no interest in you. Tell me the coordinates, I'll send someone to pick me up, and I'll leave right away."

The officer stared at him warily. "Do you think we'd believe that?!"

"Tsk." Chen Tian frowned impatiently. "So what do you want?"

The officer waved his hand sharply. "Nova Corps! Arrest him!"

"Boom--!"

Dozens of energy beams shot towards Chen Tian simultaneously, and fighter jets in the sky launched tracking missiles. The entire square was instantly engulfed in Kakkō from the explosion.

As the smoke and dust cleared--

Chen Tian stood unharmed.

He was surrounded by a faint blue barrier, which completely Oblivion all attacks upon contact.

"Really..." Chen Tian's eyes turned cold. "You won't listen to reason, will you?"

He slowly raised his hand, and a purple-blue intertwined energy ball condensed at his fingertips—"Virtual Style: Zi".

"This is your last chance," Chen Tian's voice was icy. "Tell me the coordinates here, or—"

With a gentle flick, the energy ball began to spin, the surrounding air began to distort, and space itself seemed to be torn apart.

"--I'll blow a hole in your city, then you'll have to find your own way."

The officer's face turned deathly pale. He finally realized that the human before him was someone they could not possibly contend with.

Just then--

"Stop!"

A golden figure descended from the sky. The supreme leader of the Nova Corps, the Nova Prime, slowly landed. Her armor shone with dazzling golden light, and she looked at Chen Tian with a solemn gaze.

"Outsider, perhaps we can talk."

Chen Tian tilted his head. "Oh? Finally, someone who can talk?"

Nova Prime took a deep breath. "If you really aren't Thanos's ally, then... we might have a common enemy."

Chen Tian narrowed his eyes. "Interesting."

He casually waved his hand, and the black energy ball vanished without a trace. "Then tell me."

Sanctuary One - Main Control Room (Sanctuary One was destroyed by a nuclear bomb in Avengers, but this building was not involved in the Battle of New York, so it still exists.)

Thanos sat atop the floating throne, his gaze as abyssal as he stared at the kneeling Supergiant. The air seemed to thicken and become heavy because of his presence.

"You mean..." Thanos's deep voice echoed in the empty hall, "Chen Tian didn't teleport here through the designated passage?"

Supergiant's head drooped even lower, her slender fingers trembling slightly. "Master, an accident occurred during the teleportation. His energy interfered with the spatial channel, causing the coordinates to shift."

Thanos slowly stood up, his boots clattering heavily on the ground. He walked up to the Supergiant, his massive shadow completely enveloping her.

"So..." Thanos's voice was eerily calm, "Where is he now?"

The Supergiant's forehead was beaded with cold sweat. "I'm tracking spatial fluctuations, but..."

"Alright," Thanos interrupted Supergiant, "I'll give you one more chance, Supergiant. Find Chen Tian. Otherwise, I won't give you the death you expect; you'll die in agony, tormented beyond measure."

The Supergiant prostrated himself on the ground, "Yes, Master."
