Every last trump card played, humanity's despair!

Nick Fury stared at the screen before him.

The corners of his mouth twitched twice.

The sea was covered in flames and the wreckage of warships.

Fuel burned furiously on the water.

Nick Fury fell completely silent.

The mightiest military force on Earth hadn't withstood even a single blow.

S.W.O.R.D.'s vaunted Helicarrier had been reduced to scrap.

The carrier strike group had fared even worse.

It had been wiped out.

Not a single survivor remained.

In just a few minutes.

More than twenty thousand lives had vanished.

Nick Fury felt as though he were suffocating.

Soon, he forced down the panic in his heart.

As S.W.O.R.D.'s supreme commander.

He had to remain calm.

"Director, should we call in the Avengers?"

An agent hurriedly reported in.

"There's no point."

"Even if Thor came, he couldn't handle something on this level."

Nick Fury shook his head.

The Avengers were ultimately just a special operations team.

They could handle defending a city.

Against an apocalyptic behemoth like this, only sheer heavy firepower would do.

"Unlock God's Scepter immediately. Hit this big bastard hard."

With a grim expression, Nick Fury issued an uncompromising order.

"Yes, sir!"

The agent immediately got to work.

God's Scepter.

There were plenty of rumors about it.

In reality, simply dropping a tungsten rod from space wouldn't do much damage.

It wouldn't even match a few blocks of explosives.

And aiming it was a huge problem.

But S.W.O.R.D.'s God's Scepter was completely different.

This thing came equipped with multistage thrusters.

It was essentially the ultimate space-based armor-piercing bunker buster.

Designed specifically to deal with gigantic monsters.

"Sir, the weapon is fully charged."

"The military's most powerful laser cannon and Electromagnetic Railgun have also locked onto the target. They're ready to fire simultaneously."

The agent shouted his report.

Nick Fury nodded.
