After hearing them out, the captain's mind was in turmoil.
On one hand, there wasn't a soul to be seen in South America, and civilians under his protection might still be waiting somewhere for him to rescue them. On the other, the brothers who had fought beside him through life and death were now weak beyond belief.
"Things aren't too bad on our end."
The captain spoke with a trace of bitterness.
"So I've decided to send Zero Zero Three to help you deal with the Annihilation Swarm first. Then we'll come back and handle things here."
"All right. Get here as soon as you can!"
Steve cut the connection after hearing that.
On the Central Continent, the towering Portal to Hell continued to deliver Hell's armies to Earth. But under the crushing pressure of the Rule Domain, not a single one of the more powerful high-ranking demons had stepped through it yet.
So, with Iron Fist, S.P.E.A.R., the Winter Guard, and countless determined soldiers defending the land under invasion, the battle had reached a stalemate.
"Tell me, what the hell are these bugs?"
Juggernaut had just been called out of prison by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Beneath his massive, three-meter-tall frame, a slight figure pushed up his glasses and said,
"They're your enemies. Kill them, and the money we promised you is yours."
Juggernaut was a mercenary, though his fee was hardly a measure of his strength.
Hiring him for a job cost only three hundred thousand dollars!
Three hundred thousand dollars was enough to hire a supervillain!
That was why people had taken advantage of him and gotten him to do so many bad things.
The reason he'd let himself be taken advantage of was that his superpowers had already disturbed his mind.
They'd made him a little slow.
