"Deal."

Lucian tightened his fingers slightly on the shell of the nuclear bomb.

Buzz!

The invisible Magnetic Field spread instantly and enveloped the entire nuclear bomb. Tony immediately felt the weight in his arms disappear, and the missile that was still sprinting forward was frozen in mid-air.

Inertia has completely lost its effect on it.

Tony opened his arms and looked at the nuclear bomb hovering between the two of them, his eyebrows behind his visor raised.

"Magnetic Field Manipulation?"

"Almost."

Lucian replied casually.

Just as Tony was about to speak, a bolt of lightning suddenly jumped out from Lucian's palm and struck directly on the armor's chest.

Crack!

The current instantly covers the entire suit of armor.

"Hell, you..."

Tony Before he finished speaking, the red warnings that popped up continuously in the visor suddenly disappeared.

"Energy is restored quickly."

The voice of JARVIS sounded immediately.

"Forty percent... sixty-five percent... ninety-three percent... the energy is full and the propulsion system is back to normal."

The arc gradually dissipated.

Tony looked down at the reactor that was back on, then raised his head again with a strange tone.

"Can you still charge the suit?"

"Lightning is all."

Lucian Take your hand back.

"Okay."

It's just a matter of convenience for him. Although Tony's armor can absorb Lightning, its endurance is there, so he deliberately lowered the output. Otherwise, if this shot continues, it will not be filled with energy, but Stark-style barbecue in the armor.

The nuclear bomb has been taken over by Magnetic Field, and the transaction is considered completed.

It's time to go.

Lucian was about to turn around with the nuclear bomb, but Tony suddenly spoke.

"Wait."

"Anything else?"

Tony looked up at Portal in the sky.

The armor's energy was recharged, the thrusters no longer flashed warnings, and he had a little more confidence when he spoke.

"Can I go behind that Portal and take a look?"

Lucian stopped for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

He knew what Tony would see at this glance.

In the original timeline, Tony carried a nuclear bomb through Portal. After seeing Chitauri Mothership and the huge fleet behind it, it left a psychological shadow that is difficult to erase.

That's not pure fear.

A genius who thought he was at the top of human technology suddenly discovered that there was a fleet outside the earth that could crush civilization, and they could not even block the vanguard troops that the opponent casually sent in.

This cognitive impact is the most devastating.

Tony was silent for two seconds and dropped his cynical tone.

"This crisis should be over."

"But who can guarantee they won't come back?"

He pointed to the top of his head.

"We don't even know how many enemies there are. Those idiots sitting in Safe House are already afraid and have launched nuclear bombs at New York. If this kind of Portal appears next time, they might just send the entire east coast to the sky."

Having said this, Tony paused.

"So, I wanted to take a look and see what we're dealing with."

Lucian looked at him and said nothing.

Since Tony wants to see it, then go ahead and see it.

Knowing the threats facing the earth in advance is not a bad thing. At least when this guy makes armors in the future, he may have fewer parties and prepare more sets of things that can really fight.

"Follow up."

After the voice fell, Magnetic Field dragged the nuclear bomb, and Lucian turned around and rushed to the sky.

Tony Turn on the thruster immediately.

"JARVIS, full power."

"Understood, Sir."

Boom!

The red and gold armor followed closely behind Lucian, and the two of them carried nuclear bombs all the way up. The building below quickly shrank, the blue light beam was in front, and the dark universe on the other side of Portal became increasingly clear.

Tony originally wanted to remind Lucian to speed up, because maybe the nuclear bomb would explode soon.

But he soon discovered that Lucian was obviously waiting for him.

The black figure always remained dozens of meters ahead, neither pulling away nor turning around to urge. The nuclear bomb suspended next to it was even more stable, and the missile body did not even sway in the slightest.

"How much more ability does this guy have?"

Tony stared ahead and couldn't help but muttered.

"Based on the available information, it is impossible to judge."

JARVIS gave a useless answer.

"Thank you, you successfully repeated my question."

The next second, the two of them passed through Portal at the same time.

The noise of New York disappeared instantly.

Tony raised his head and froze in place.

At the end of the field of vision, there are burning wreckage of battleships everywhere.

The broken metal deck spanned several kilometers, and the broken hull was still exploding. Only a small half of the frame of Chitauri Hive was left. A large number of warships were burned into twisted empty shells, and dense debris was floating further away.

From the wreckage alone, Tony can tell how huge this fleet was originally.

He is an engineer.

What others saw was just scrap metal, but he was able to restore the original structure of these battleships from the broken decks, engine dimensions and weapon interfaces.

New York The Chitauri army that appeared is not even one-tenth of the one here.

With such a small amount of troops, the Earth's decision-makers have become completely desperate and even hesitated to launch a nuclear bomb into a densely populated city.

What if the entire fleet entered Earth?

Tony stared at the wreckage, his Adam's apple moved.

No.

This is no longer a question of whether Earth's existing military can stop it.

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

His eyes quickly fell on the Hive that was almost penetrated. The results of the armor scan caused the data in the visor to constantly pop up error messages.

"JARVIS, analyze the damage method."

"The energy residue is too strong to allow complete results."

"Can you estimate the power?"

"Unable to accurately estimate."

Tony was quiet for a few seconds.

He watched with his own eyes as Lucian led Hulk into Portal.

With the destructive power shown by Hulk, it is not difficult to smash several battleships, but it is absolutely impossible to do so, let alone in space.

Then there is only one answer.

He subconsciously looked at Lucian beside him, his eyes filled with unprecedented horror.

The interstellar fleet in front of me was enough to make any country despair... it was completely destroyed by this man single-handedly.

Lucian didn't care what Tony was thinking, he raised his hand and pushed forward.

The nuclear bomb wrapped in Magnetic Field suddenly accelerated and flew straight towards the remaining wreckage of the fleet.

The nuclear bomb penetrated deep into the wreckage.

After a while, white light exploded.

Shockwave pushed countless fragments to roll outwards, and the last few intact battleships were also involved in the center of the explosion.

"Let's go, I'm going to close Portal."

Lucian's voice sounded from the bottom of my heart.

Tony took one last look at the universe, engraved the shock and fear deeply in his mind, then nodded silently, turned around, started the thruster, and flew back towards Portal.

He knew that from today on, he might never be able to sleep well again.

Stark Tower top.

Natasha and Clint were staring at the sky nervously. When they saw the red-gold figure flying out of Portal, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, both of them were stunned at the same time.

Because of the figure of Lucian, I don't know when I had quietly stood next to Tesseract.

When did he come back?

Lucian Take out Mind Stone Scepter and aim the tip at the blue shield on the outer layer of Tesseract.

The moment the scepter approached, the Mind Stone embedded at the top lit up. Tesseract also vibrated, and the space energy began to surge violently.

The power of the two Infinity Stones collided, eventually leading to extremely unstable energy output.

Zhila!

The scepter penetrates the blue energy plane.

The light beam that stretched straight to the sky shrank suddenly, and Portal in the sky also began to close from the edge to the center.

He continued to exert force with his arm, completely pressing the scepter into the core of the shield.

Boom!

The blue light beam goes out.

The last gap closed in the sky, and the sky above New York returned to normal. The dark clouds hanging over everyone finally dissipated.

After a brief silence, someone suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs on the street.

"Portal is closed!"

"We won!"

Cheers spread from one street to another.

More and more survivors stood up from behind the bunkers. Police, soldiers and civilians raised their heads at the same time, and their voices quickly drowned out the still-continuous sirens.

"New York survived!"
