Tony's expression turned grave as he turned to look at Lin Feng.

"Lin, it's time to act!"

Lin Feng was just about to nod.

But Loki stepped forward and directly interrupted them.

"I don't think you have the chance!"

He walked toward them step by step.

"What the Chitauri brought is an entire army!"

"Humanity doesn't stand the slightest chance! You might as well stand here quietly and watch."

"I'll give you the chance to submit to me. Be grateful to the great Loki..."

After saying that, Loki raised his head, ready to accept their praise and gratitude.

"I don't want to waste words on you!" Tony rolled his eyes.

This self-proclaimed god was not quite right in the head.

He put on his tracking bracelet and called JARVIS to prepare a new suit of armor.

"I think you're the one who should submit!"

"Don't tell me you forgot we still have Hulk?" Tony sneered.

"Your so-called army is nothing in front of Hulk!"

"Oh?"

Loki tilted his head, his expression darkening.

The two before him truly did not know what was good for them.

In that case, Loki did not mind sending them on their way.

As if he had thought of something, a teasing, sinister smile appeared on Loki's face.

He extended the scepter in his hand toward Tony Stark.

"Hulk, is it? Then how about I let you deal with that big guy?"

With that, he jabbed the scepter toward Tony's chest.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out.

Tony was not controlled!

Loki froze for a moment.

Unwilling to believe it, he jabbed him again, but there was still no reaction whatsoever.

Lin Feng, standing nearby, nearly burst out laughing.

Back when Lin Feng had watched this scene in the theater, he had not been able to hold back his laughter either.

You were poking someone's arc reactor. It would be strange if it reacted.

Seeing Loki raise his scepter, intending to try one more time.

Lin Feng stepped forward and snatched the scepter away. He did not want to waste any more words on Loki.

There was a whole pile of battle merit waiting outside for him to farm!

"Have you had enough, God of Mischief?"

"Wait for your brother to come give you some loving discipline!"

With that, Lin Feng kicked out.

He sent Loki flying off the top of Stark Tower.

He did not care whether Loki lived or died.

He was a god, after all. That height would not kill Loki.

After dealing with Loki, Lin Feng nodded at Tony.

"Tony, let's move!"

Tony nodded in response as the latest Mark 7 rapidly assembled around him.

Once suited up, Tony flew straight into the sky and began analyzing the Chitauri Army's data.

Lin Feng remained where he was, looking at the scepter in his hand.

If he remembered correctly, the gem embedded at the tip of the scepter should be one of the Infinity Stones.

The Mind Stone!

"System, can the scepter be stored in the system space?"

Lin Feng asked.

Now that the scepter was in his hands, it was his!

He would take it as compensation for Loki's crimes!

However, the system replied that it could not. The Infinity Stones could not be stored in the system space!

Lin Feng was not discouraged by the answer.

He directly twisted the gem off the head of the scepter.

With a squeeze of his hand, the outer shell immediately shattered.

Revealing the yellow Mind Stone.

Since it could not be stored in the system space, he would embed it in the Superman Bracers!

The Mind Stone, now without its vessel, emitted a faint glow.

Lin Feng held it in his hand and did not feel any discomfort.

The Mind Stone slowly approached the Superman Bracers.

Ripples like flowing water immediately appeared across the surface of the bracers.

Clink!

With a crisp sound, the gem embedded itself into the bracers.

In an instant, yellow light scattered from the bracers and flowed through Lin Feng's body.

Lin Feng could not help letting out a grunt.

He felt a surge of energy burst forth from his wrist.

Constantly washing over his body.

At the same time, his sharp senses told Lin Feng.

His abilities were slowly growing stronger.

The most noticeable changes were the obvious enhancements to his Super Vision and Super Hearing.

After a while, the gem quieted down.

Lin Feng let out a long breath.

This felt pretty good!

The energy of the Infinity Stones seemed to have an effect similar to solar radiation.

Although it was slow, it was constantly improving Lin Feng's abilities.

It was much faster than basking in the sun on Earth.

Thanks, brother Loki, for sending such a gift from so far away!

There were now two gems embedded in Lin Feng's bracers.

The yellow Mind Stone and Special Red Kryptonite.

With the energy of the Mind Stone, Lin Feng felt that he could defeat the demonized Clark without even using Red Kryptonite.

Lin Feng leaped out of Stark Tower.

Outside, war flames filled the sky.

The Chitauri Army poured endlessly from the blue Portal.

The roars of the Leviathan could be heard from several blocks away.

It was time for Lin Feng to show what he could do!

With a burst of speed, Lin Feng targeted several isolated Chitauri and fired a red blast of Heat Vision.

The struck Chitauri had no ability to resist. Their entire bodies broke apart and scattered beneath the Heat Vision.

The Chitauri Army launched a fierce counterattack.

Blue energy cannons continuously bombarded Lin Feng.

But Lin Feng nimbly dodged every shot.

Even when one occasionally hit him, Lin Feng acted as though nothing had happened.

Not even the slightest damage appeared on his suit.

A black figure continuously darted through the skies above New York.

Blast after blast of Heat Vision fired as if it cost nothing.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng did not have any large-scale battlefield-clearing abilities.

He could not wipe out a huge number of Chitauri at once.

So Lin Feng threw a punch with his left hand, a kick with his right.

And from time to time, he fired another blast of Heat Vision.

Large numbers of Chitauri fell at his hands.

The Chitauri Army also noticed this troublesome Blue Star native.

Squad after squad continued attacking Lin Feng.

They looked utterly fearless of death.

This did ease some of the pressure on Iron Man and the others.

But even Superman grew irritated and exhausted after fighting nonstop.

Although the Chitauri's combat strength was about the same as ants in Lin Feng's eyes.

Squeezing too many ants still took time and stamina!

The high temperatures from continuously using Heat Vision made Lin Feng's eyes somewhat uncomfortable...

"Lin! I've got trouble!"

Tony's voice came through Lin Feng's earpiece.

Iron Man had encountered a Leviathan.

His laser weapons could not even break through the beast's defenses.

Lin Feng naturally understood what he meant.

He was calling for help.

Lin Feng immediately activated Super Vision.

"I see you, Tony!"

Lin Feng replied and swiftly flew toward Tony.

Tony was currently leading the Leviathan around at high speed.

Lin Feng arrived, his eyes glowing a brilliant crimson.

Whoosh!

He fired a blast of Heat Vision with a deeper, richer color than before.

Unlike ordinary Chitauri soldiers.

The Leviathan's outer armor was extremely thick.

It endured the Heat Vision for a full four or five seconds before being pierced through.

Then, with a mournful howl, it crashed toward the ground.

"Thanks, Lin!"

After thanking him, Tony quickly flew toward the ground to help Captain America and Natasha.

Captain America and Natasha had no ability to fly.

They could only rely on their extraordinary physiques to fight the foot soldiers on the ground.

As for massive creatures like the Leviathan, they could only leave them to Iron Man and Lin Feng!

Lin Feng looked toward the Portal high in the sky.

Several more Leviathans emerged from it.

Lin Feng frowned.

Heat Vision could not immediately penetrate a Leviathan's armor.

Using it continuously for too long consumed too much of Lin Feng's stamina and energy...

Suddenly.

An idea appeared in his mind.

With a thought from Lin Feng.

The next second.

The Mind Stone on the Superman Bracers burst into light.

Massive energy flowed into Lin Feng's eyes.

His eye sockets rapidly turned orange-red, and an orange-red beam immediately shot forth.

This time, the Heat Vision blasted a huge hole through the Leviathan in less than a second.

But it was not over yet.

The flame-like orange-red energy did not dissipate.

It slowly devoured the rest of the Leviathan's body!

Powerful!

Lin Feng marveled.

On a whim, he used the Mind Stone to amplify his Heat Vision.

It had actually worked, and the power of his Heat Vision had increased by at least twofold.

As expected of the Infinity Stones!

The fledgling Avengers on the ground all witnessed the scene.

"Lin Feng... seems to have gotten even stronger!"

Black Widow said with a complicated expression.

Captain America performed an aerial Thomas flare, smashing his shield heavily into a Chitauri soldier's head.

Then, panting heavily, he said, "Looks like we're not completely without a chance?"

"But if we don't close the Portal, fighting like this will still be pointless!"

Hawkeye said this as he stood atop a building, staring grimly into the Portal.

The Chitauri Army was still pouring through without pause.

The superheroes had already lost track of how many Chitauri they had taken down.

Without exception, everyone was beginning to show signs of exhaustion.

But if the Portal remained open,

the Chitauri would be like ants, impossible to kill them all!

If this turned into a war of attrition, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Avengers.

Who knew how much more of the Chitauri Army was waiting on the other side of the Portal!

Once they truly lost their fighting strength, Blue Star would be finished.

At that moment, Lin Feng's voice sounded through everyone's earpieces.

"I have a way to close the Portal!"

Lin Feng, who had been listening to their discussion all along, finally spoke.

"But before that—"

"I'm going to give them a big gift!"

With that,

Lin Feng flew toward the Portal without looking back.

The Chitauri Army on the ground was too scattered; killing them was far too slow!

Lin Feng decided to pay a visit to the Chitauri Fleet beyond the Portal!
