Boom!!
A hundred-meter-tall building next to me collapsed instantly, and smoke and dust obscured the sky!
At this moment, Manhattan had completely become the battlefield for the two of them.
High-rise buildings collapsed one after another, and the US ground troops who failed to evacuate in time suffered heavy casualties, with cries of despair echoing across the land.
The two fought with all their might, and with Wenwu using his mental power to subtly invade Carol's consciousness and amplify her negative emotions, the battle escalated into a fight to the death, with no way to stop.
Even if Carol regains her senses and is willing to stop fighting, Wenwu will never allow her to leave so easily.
Today he is going to completely break her mentality, make her bear the guilt of destroying New York, and make her feel guilty and resentful for the rest of her life!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two fought fiercely in the city's skies and streets, exchanging blows and launching relentless attacks.
Landmark skyscrapers collapsed and crumbled one after another, making Manhattan look like the end of the world!
All global monitoring satellites were locked onto the skies above New York, and a large number of fearless media personnel were on-site to broadcast this earth-shattering battle live.
High-ranking officials from various countries witnessed this earth-shattering battle and were stunned and Shocker!
Inside the United States Pentagon center, the president, enraged by the sight of a completely destroyed New York on the screen, smashed everything on the table!
"Nuclear missile! Launch a nuclear missile!!"
The president roared hysterically, "I'm going to utterly destroy both of them in New York!"
"Mr., no!"
A nearby senator quickly intervened, saying, "Given their speed and reaction time, a nuclear bomb would have no chance of locking onto them! Even if it did hit, it might not eliminate these two powerful individuals; it would only needlessly destroy New York!"
"Are we just going to let them wreak havoc in New York? This is Manhattan, after all!"
One of the hot-tempered generals roared angrily, filled with resentment.
The Department of Defense, with a somber expression, calmly began his analysis:
" Carol is our former Air Force captain, she's part of our fighting force. With her keeping things under control, even if we can't kill Xu Wenwu today, we can completely keep the Ten Rings in check and keep Xu Wenwu in check in the future!"
"Furthermore, most of New York City was already severely damaged during the previous invasion, and the population has been largely evacuated, so subsequent casualties are manageable."
These words undoubtedly implied that the entire New York City was abandoned, leaving the two powerful figures to fight each other at will.
A safe zone far from the battlefield.
Steve gazed at the devastated New York, now a complete apocalyptic ruin, watching the collapsing skyscrapers and the raging aftershocks of energy. His eyes were bloodshot as he turned and stared intently at Fury, questioning him with furious rage.
" Fury! This is the savior you speak of? This isn't salvation, it's catastrophic disaster!"
"It was Xu Wenwu who deliberately provoked and angered Carol!"
Fury argued vehemently, determined to exonerate Carol, "All the destruction and casualties were mostly caused by Xu Wenwu's metal powers! The blame lies entirely with him!"
"If you hadn't insisted on occupying it and refused to return Thor 'Tesseract, none of this would have happened!"
Steve could no longer contain his anger and roared furiously in front of everyone.
"During World War II, the Tesseract was the source of all chaos! Now it has reappeared, attracting an alien invasion and indirectly offending Asgard, thus triggering this cataclysmic war!"
Barton, Natasha, Coulson all remained silent.
Steve's words were absolutely true; the root of all the trouble lay with the Tesseract.
After the previous crisis Galactus, there was room for the relationship between the Ten Rings and them to ease, but today's battle has completely torn off their relationship.
From this day forward, Earth and the Ten Rings are destined to be locked in endless conflict and struggle!
"Damn it, Xu Wenwu! You've turned New York into a complete battlefield!!"
In the vast starry sky, inside the Great Emperor fighter jet, Tony roared at Wenwu on the communication screen.
Wenwu did not block Earth's real-time signals, so everyone on the fighter jet clearly witnessed the apocalyptic scene in New York.
The other United States superheroes glared angrily at Wenwu, their muscles tense, ready to strike at any moment.
"Hmph, look carefully before you speak. From beginning to end, it was Carol who insisted on fighting to the death."
Wenwu's expression was indifferent and disdainful, and he retorted in an icy tone.
Tony and the others looked extremely grim. They were unable to receive complete information and had no idea what the whole story of this great battle had entailed.
They were also shocked that Wenwu actually possessed the ability to create clones.
Everyone tacitly agreed that the one currently in New York must be Wenwu's true form. Only his true form could unleash such terrifying combat power, far surpassing any clone.
The brutal battle continues in New York, Earth!
The warplanes from various countries that had come to support the fight against the Chitauri invasion have all turned around and withdrawn, fearing that they might be caught in the aftermath of the two top powers and suffer an undeserved disaster.
Boom--!
The once bustling and prosperous Manhattan area has been completely reduced to ruins.
Wenwu and Carol clashed head-on throughout, constantly mobilizing their large-scale metal powers to aid in both offense and defense; each collision unleashed devastating destruction.
"Stop it, all of you!"
A clear, solemn voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
In mid-air, an enormous energy barrier, swirling with mysterious golden runes, suddenly unfolded, precisely separating Wenwu and Carol.
Boom!
The two unleashed devastating attacks, each carrying immense power, simultaneously crashing down!
The thick golden barrier trembled violently and its runes flickered, yet it remained as solid as a mountain, never breaking in the slightest.
Carol and Wenwu instantly halted their attacks.
Wenwu looked up at the Ancient One, who was suspended in mid-air, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent surged in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it to avoid being detected by her.
Carol also stared intently at the suddenly appearing the Ancient One, her brows furrowed. She didn't recognize the woman at all, but she could clearly sense the unfathomable and terrifying strength emanating from her.
" Carol, look down at the devastation you've created with your own hands."
The Ancient One's voice was calm, but her tone was full of accusation.
Upon hearing this, Carol looked down at the ruins below, her face instantly stiffening as an overwhelming sense of guilt welled up inside her.
The battle had just raged fiercely, and she was so focused on killing Wenwu officials that she completely disregarded the damage she had caused to the city.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Wenwu's lips.
Carol possesses terrifying combat prowess, but her mental state and spiritual strength are relatively weak.
Throughout the battle, she was influenced by his mental power, which amplified the violent emotions in her heart, gradually causing her to lose her mind and fall into a life-or-death struggle.
If the Ancient One hadn't intervened in time, this battle would have continued.
Even so, while Wenwu's physical and mental exertion would certainly be less than Carol's, he was confident that he could use the Ant-Man's shrinking ability in his armor to conceal his presence and make a calm retreat.
It was you! You caused all of this!
After feeling ashamed, Carol immediately shifted all the blame onto Wenwu, her anger flaring up again, her killing intent rising, and she charged forward again, gathering her energy.
"Enough!"
The Ancient One rebuked him in a cold, stern voice.
She had already expended a great deal of power to resist Dormammu's invasion and stabilize the Temple's dimensional barrier.
Otherwise, she would have banished them directly from the material universe.
The Ancient One turned her head, her gaze icy as she looked at Wenwu, and warned in a deep voice:
"You have caused chaos and disaster in this world. Leave now and reflect on your actions. If it happens again, I will personally banish you from this universe!"
Upon hearing this, Wenwu smiled faintly and remained silent.
This nonchalant attitude only intensified the Ancient One's dissatisfaction with him.
Wenwu turned around and flew away from the battlefield without lingering.
He knew that if he stayed any longer, he might not be able to resist attacking the Ancient One directly.
Carol stared hatefully at Wenwu's departing figure, secretly vowing to stay and eliminate this scourge before returning to the universe.
After giving Carol a few brief words of advice, the Ancient One quickly disappeared.
She urgently needs to return to the Sanctum Sanctorum to reinforce the damaged dimensional barrier, while also recuperating and suppressing the increasingly eroding dark power within her.
