The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapters 135, 163, 164: The Avengers are gone? There's an all-female version of the Avengers!
In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

Gwen, carrying her books, was chatting and laughing with a few classmates as she walked along the tree-lined path, heading to the teaching building for class, when suddenly she felt a jolt of unease and a sense of something extremely ominous.

Following the warning from her spider-sense, she looked up at the sky above Manhattan Island and saw a dazzling blue beam of light shoot up from the center of Manhattan Island, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the firmament.

Soon, as if the beam of light had pierced through the sky, a circular hole appeared.

The edges of the hole flashed with lightning-like blue light, expanding rapidly in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant tunnel of unknown size.

At the other end of the tunnel lay the pitch-black expanse of space, twinkling with stars, and...

A colossal, dark, and menacing spaceship hovering in space.

"Oh my God……"

Seeing the horrific scene, Gwen couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.

Her classmates also witnessed the strange changes over Manhattan.

"What is that? Has the sky broken?"

"What's outside that space tunnel? It looks like a spaceship."

"That's a spaceship... Chicken, this is an alien invasion! We're doomed, the end of the world is coming!"

Someone cried out in alarm, making the sign of the cross and shouting "Jesus Christ!"

Some people were lost in thought, muttering that the end of the world was coming and everyone would die.

Some people quickly pulled out their phones to call their families, while others immediately took off running to find their crush and have one last time before the end of the world truly arrived...

Although Gwen was also startled, she quickly calmed down, shoved the book into the hands of a relatively calm classmate next to her, and said, "Take this back for me." Then she ran off into the woods by the roadside.

"Gwen, where are you going?" the classmate asked.

“Save the world!”

Gwen replied casually and quickly ran into the depths of the woods. At the same time, she took a foundation box from her coat pocket, opened the lid, and found that there was no foundation inside, but a miniature Spider-Woman suit.

Gwen whispered the activation command that Li Xingzhou had taught her, and the spider suit that had been shrunk by the "shrinking talisman" quickly returned to its original size.

Gwen deftly took off her clothes, put on the spider suit, and pinned a brooch to the collar of her battle suit. Then she leaped onto a large tree, hid the clothes she had taken off in the canopy, and then leaped among the trees toward the blue beam of light.

Just as I leaped out of the campus and onto a building, the brooch on my collar felt slightly warm, and then I heard Selena's voice in my ear:

"Gwen, this is Selena. Have you seen the strange thing happening over Manhattan Island?"

Gwen shot a web towards the tall building across the street, grabbed it with one hand, and swung towards the other side. At the same time, she gently pinched the diamond fragments on her brooch and said:

"Yes, I saw it. In fact, I'm on my way to the scene."

“At the other end of the tunnel is an alien fleet,” Selena warned. “This isn’t supervillains causing trouble; it’s an alien invasion.”

"I know."

Gwen stared at the giant tunnel in the sky, where countless small aircraft were now swarming out and diving toward the ground.

Looking at the surging alien army, Gwen gritted her teeth and said:
“I know this is a Star Wars-level crisis… but the city is right below, and I have to get up there and do everything I can to stop the aliens from destroying the city and harming civilians…”

Selena spoke calmly:
"You yourself are an ordinary citizen."

Gwendoline:
"Yes, I am an ordinary citizen, but I am also a superhero. So, Moon Goddess, what is your decision?"

"I promise to help Li Ang protect his home."

Selena said calmly:

"However, the best defense is offense. Rex Prison is a bit far from Manhattan Island. As long as we can keep the alien army on Manhattan Island, Rex Island will not be attacked. So... I will lend you a hand."

Gwen smiled broadly:
“I knew it. Although you have a cold exterior and icy skin, your heart is as warm as your…”

Selena's tone was a mix of amusement and exasperation:
“You, now is not the time to drive… Alright, you go to the MASA headquarters now. There is an armored squad that I arranged in advance there. Mariko and her family servants are also there. Go and meet up with them.”

Gwen Strange Road:

"Mariko? Her skills in bed are at the bottom, how could she possibly participate in a real battle like this?"

"Don't underestimate Mariko. Her current fighting strength may not be lower than yours. Alright, enough of the nonsense, I need to get ready to move out."

Ending the call, Gwen was greatly encouraged and whispered with renewed vigor:
"Aliens, don't think you can do whatever you want in my homeland just because you have a fleet! Our Avengers will make you taste the power of iron fists!"

……

The rooftop of the Yashida Building, where the MASA headquarters is located, on Manhattan Island.

Mariko, dressed in a kendo uniform and with her hair tied in a high ponytail, held binoculars and looked at the alien army swarming out of the sky tunnel in the distance. She murmured:
"These aliens are absolutely hideous..."

Yukio, standing behind, reminded him:

"Young Miss, an alien spacecraft is heading this way."

The Yashida Building and the Stark Tower are not far apart in a straight line, and are within the range of the first wave of attacks by the alien army.

"I saw."

With a thought, she released the "Silver Warrior" mecha from her spatial storage, opened the hatch, sat inside, put on the headband-shaped brainwave controller, and looked at the team of mecha warriors behind her, wearing exoskeletons and carrying six-barreled machine guns and huge ammunition boxes, and said:

"Three people per group, occupy the rooftops of the surrounding buildings, and stop those alien bastards!"

"As ordered!"

The mech warriors responded in unison, activated the ejection devices, and jumped directly from the rooftop to the rooftops of the surrounding buildings to form a defensive line.

With the "Silver Warrior" mech as a sample, Ivan Vanko has successfully manufactured a batch of upgraded exoskeleton armor.

Although this "Skull Warrior 2.0" exoskeleton armor is still far inferior to Tony's Iron Man suit and Mariko's Silver Samurai armor, its power system, operating system, weapon system, and defensive capabilities have all been significantly improved.

Warriors wearing this 2.0 version of exoskeleton armor look like enlarged medieval tin cans. Their weapons include a six-barreled machine gun, shotguns, assault rifles, grenades, oversized double-edged battle axes, door-sized swords, maces, and more. They are armed to the teeth and are extremely intimidating.

Soon, the rooftops of five nearby buildings were occupied by fifteen mech warriors in groups of three, who formed a defensive line.

Yukio and Kenichiro Harada, who remained on the rooftop of the Yashida Building, also donned exoskeletons and picked up six-barreled machine guns, while Mariko picked up an enlarged grenade launcher.

The alien spacecraft, which had just been deployed, began to fire wildly and bombard the buildings they were passing by, and were already close to the vicinity of the Yashida Building.

At Mariko's command, more than ten six-barreled machine guns opened fire simultaneously, blasting the small flying objects that were hurtling towards them into the air. With the aiming system of the "Silver Samurai" mecha, Mariko also launched high-explosive grenades, detonating the alien flying objects that were approaching the Yashida Building one by one.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the deafening roar of explosions and bursts of flame, as if a grand fireworks display had begun.

This was also the first effective resistance encountered by the alien army.

Before this, they had entered as if they were in an empty field, without encountering any resistance.

Mariko's first wave of counterattack also represents an unconventional all-female version of the "Avengers," leading the way in resisting alien invasion.

……

When Gwen arrived near the Yashida Building, the core area of ​​Manhattan Island, within the range of the alien army's first wave of attacks, had already descended into complete chaos.

Skyscrapers were riddled with holes by alien spacecraft, falling large pieces of debris and billowing thick smoke.

The streets were completely blocked by a series of car accidents, with twisted, deformed, and even burning vehicles everywhere.

The civilians screamed in terror, clutching their heads, and scattered in all directions, trying to escape the indiscriminate attacks of the aliens. Every now and then, large chunks of debris fell from the sky, burying the fleeing civilians.

Some warriors brandished their pistols and fired angrily into the sky, but were quickly blasted to pieces by beams of light falling from the sky.

Spacecraft were shot down and crashed. The surviving alien soldiers wielded bizarre weapons that could fire energy beams at long distances and also be used for stabbing and slashing, frantically chasing and killing civilians. A few police officers who were still loyal to their duties bravely resisted, but soon fell in pools of blood...

This is not some minor disturbance caused by a supervillain.

This is a bloody battlefield of alien invasion.

Ugly aliens indiscriminately destroyed high-rise buildings and slaughtered unarmed civilians, turning the bustling downtown area of ​​Manhattan into a battlefield littered with corpses and rivers of blood. This cruel scene made Gwen, who had never seen such a tragedy before, feel cold all over and her eyes redden.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and without bothering to meet up with Mariko, she suddenly launched a spider silk, which caught a small aircraft flying past the high-rise building where she was. Grabbing the spider silk with both hands, she swung the aircraft around like a meteor hammer and smashed it hard into another aircraft.

The two spacecraft collided in mid-air, exploding into a huge ball of fire, and the alien soldiers on board were blown to pieces.

Gwen, who had never killed anyone before, felt no emotion at this moment.

In her view, these alien monsters that wantonly slaughtered civilians could not be considered human at all.

After destroying the two aircraft, Gwen jumped off the rooftop and ran to the ground.

There are also many aliens on the ground, and many civilians are being massacred. She must go and save them.

Just before landing, Gwen fired another web, which stuck to the exterior wall of a nearby building. The flexible web cushioned the impact of her rapid descent, and at the same time, she delivered a flying kick with both feet, sending an alien who was aiming and firing flying with a bang.

After landing, she delivered another whip kick, smashing the head of an alien soldier. Then, she leaped and ran like lightning, kicking out every now and then, using her Wind and Thunder Leg Technique to kill all the aliens in her sight. Occasionally, she would shoot a spider silk into the sky, sticking to alien spacecraft that happened to fly over her head, pulling them down, and smashing them into pieces.

While Gwen was wreaking havoc, she used her brooch communicator to ask Selena:

"Selena, where are you?"

"We've arrived..."

……

On the rooftop of a building.

Selena, dressed in the classic battle suit of the Moon Goddess, wearing a mask similar to Bucky's, and carrying the "Thunderfire Cross Sword" made of adamantite alloy with a small amount of refined gold, stood on the fence looking at the huge space-time tunnel in the sky.

"There are too many aliens. Even if we include all the superheroes in New York, we can't stop them from landing in Manhattan. If we don't take effective measures, the whole of New York will fall today."

Her gaze shifted downwards, landing on the blue beam of light shooting straight into the sky:
"That beam of light is the key. It opened the spacetime tunnel, and it's also constantly supplying energy to keep it running. To end this alien invasion, we must destroy that blue beam of light."

Emma, ​​sitting on the edge of the fence with her feet dangling in the air and chewing bubble gum, said:

"Is that Stark Tower over there? That's where the aliens are the most numerous. The sky is full of spaceships, so densely packed it's like a locust plague. With our small numbers, we probably can't even get to Stark Tower."

She wore the same tight-fitting bodysuit as Selena Gomez, which not only looked cool and accentuated her figure, but was also made of high-quality materials.

The black suit that looks like leather is actually a high-tech fabric produced by Reed Labs, which has excellent fireproof, bulletproof, puncture-proof and cushioning functions.

Selena's classic outfit is now made of the same material.

Deathgirl and Goose, who were following behind Selena, were also wearing the same outfit.

“It is indeed difficult to approach from the sky.” Selena looked at the ground: “But there are still relatively few aliens on the ground. We can fight our way through from the ground.”

“Although it seems a bit like sending myself to my death…” Emma shrugged, “but since the Boss ordered me to follow your orders, I have no choice but to risk my life and go with you.”

Guoguo licked her lips, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with fervor:
"Four people charging into a massive army... To participate in such a battle, even if it means being shattered to pieces, it would be worth it!"

Selena said calmly:

"You're all Li Ang's pets, and I won't casually send his beloved pets to their deaths. Don't worry, our strength is far more than this..."

After saying that, she leaped down from the fence, spread her wings, and swooped down toward the ground.

As it swooped down, it drew the cross sword from its back and casually slashed and destroyed an alien spacecraft.

The woman, clutching a rappelling cable, ran over the fence, stepped onto the building's exterior wall, and hurtled towards the ground.

Guoguo didn't even use a rappelling cable; she simply stepped onto the building's curtain wall and sprinted down as if walking on flat ground.

Emma blew a bubble, tied her blonde hair into a ponytail, braced herself against the railing with both hands, and with a "whoosh," plummeted towards the ground in a freefall motion.

When they were only twenty meters from the ground, the Blade Demon appeared behind her, pounced on her, and merged with Emma.

Emma transformed into the Blade Demon—her feet were blades, her hands were swords, her body was as smooth as a mirror, her face was a single, wide grin that stretched to her ears, covered in sharp teeth, and her mouth was always upturned, as if it were a perpetually mocking mouth. Her head was covered with snakes that twisted and wriggled, with three-edged whips at the top.

Although Emma is a bad little pervert, she has a heart that refuses to be inferior to others and strives for progress. Her long-term and persistent meditation practice has enabled her to merge with her mental image magic, and "wear" the Blade Magic like wearing an exoskeleton.

puff!
Emma, ​​in her combined form as Blade and the Mystic Demon, landed on the ground, her feet digging deep into the earth.

The two alien soldiers were startled by the monster that had fallen from the sky. Just as they were about to raise their guns to aim, Emma's whip-like hair suddenly extended and shot out like javelins, pinning the two alien soldiers to death on the spot.

Then she pulled herself out and, with an elegant yet eerie cat-like gait, joined up with Death Woman, Guoguo, and Selena, who had already landed.

"let's start!"

Selena took the lead, leading her four-person team in a rapid charge towards Stark Tower.

Alien soldiers blocked the way. Selena swiftly swung her longsword. Amidst the whistling wind, the sharp sword light danced like a silver snake. Before the alien soldiers could react, they were all beheaded.

The Death Woman also revealed her adamantium claws, the "Heavenly Demon Claws," which were incredibly sharp, leaving no intact corpse beneath them.

Emma was a walking weapon, her whips cracking and stabbing, her sword arms flailing wildly, her knife legs sweeping across, she was unstoppable.

But the one with the highest killing efficiency was Guoguo.

After awakening her mutant genes, she gained extraordinary agility and speed. When she went all out, her figure became a blurry afterimage that was difficult to see with the naked eye. Her pair of double-edged daggers made of adamantium alloy were also incredibly sharp and could cut through iron like mud. With the added speed, she didn't even need to swing the daggers. She only needed to fix the two daggers at a suitable height and she could cut off the heads of the alien soldiers as she passed by.

In an instant, the four of them surged forward towards Stark Tower with unstoppable momentum.

Although the four did not intentionally save anyone, many civilians who were about to die at the hands of the alien soldiers survived because they casually killed the alien soldiers on the way.

After the survivors regained their senses, they burst into tears of joy: "It's the Moon Goddess! I knew it, only superheroes are reliable in times like these!"

"Great! The Moon Goddess has made her move! She's also brought three powerful companions... You wretched alien bastards, your end is nigh!"

"Where was God when aliens were killing us, where was the government when my wife was tragically murdered? F***ing! I'm not believing in God anymore, I'm going to convert to the Goddess of the Moon, and I'm going to use all my savings to build a temple for her..."

Some of the bolder survivors quickly pulled out their phones to take photos and videos of Selena and her three companions rushing forward, either planning to sell them to newspapers or TV stations for a big profit, or posting them on social media to gain followers. Some even started live streaming on the spot. This is the kind of money-driven country that is so popular that many people will never forget to make money as long as they have a breath left.

……

at the same time.

Forest Hills in Queens has not yet been affected.

Polaris held her baby, breastfeeding while gazing solemnly at the enormous time tunnel in the Manhattan sky.

"I never imagined it was an alien invasion..."

She murmured to herself, glancing at Green, who was lounging on a deck chair beside her, leisurely reading a fashion magazine:
"Are you sure you're okay not going to help?"

Green shrugged:

“My direct combat ability is quite average, and I wouldn’t be of much use if I went there, so Selena arranged for me to protect you and the baby.”

Polaris wants to say that I am not weak either, and I do not need protection.

But looking at her baby who was still nursing, she sighed helplessly and didn't say it aloud.

At this time, besides Green, the three cuckoo sisters are also protecting the North Star at home.

When they spoke with Li Xingzhou on the phone last night, they mentioned that they wanted to come and protect Polaris. Li Xingzhou did not refuse, so the three sisters came early this morning, perfectly avoiding the alien invasion—if they had stayed at the Hellfire Club headquarters, they would have run into the aliens by now.

However, judging from the current situation, the alien army that is still pouring out of the sky tunnel will eventually reach Queens. Therefore, the three cuckoo sisters are keeping a close eye on the battle in Manhattan, ready to run away with Polaris at any time.

……

Imperial University.

Elizabeth stood by the window, holding a telescope, looking anxiously and worriedly at the chaotic sky, searching for the superhero "Red Dragon," but she couldn't find him.

This only made her more worried.

Because she didn't notice the anomaly in the sky immediately, by the time she realized something was wrong, half of Manhattan's sky was already filled with alien spacecraft flying around and firing indiscriminately.

So she couldn't help but wonder if Li Ang had already made his move before she even noticed.
He can't be found now, is it because he's already...?

Elizabeth dared not think any further.

She put down her binoculars, gritted her teeth, changed into a tracksuit and a pair of sneakers, and was about to leave when the doorbell rang.

Looking through the peephole, I saw a balding man dressed in a suit, wearing sunglasses and headphones, looking like a special agent. Beside him was a blonde girl in a black bodysuit carrying a long knife.

This strange appearance alerted Elizabeth, who asked in a low voice:
"who are you?"

"Don't be nervous, Ms. Betty."

The little girl immediately called out Elizabeth's nickname, which was exclusively for Li Xingzhou:
“Master sent us to protect you. Yes, my master is Leonard Victor, I am his apprentice Mandy, and this is my dad David. According to the emergency plan left by my master, if a serious crisis occurs in New York, my dad and I will be responsible for protecting you and taking you to a safe area.”

Although only Li Xingzhou would use the nickname the little girl used, Elizabeth did not find an answer and asked:

"What evidence do you have?"

The little girl took out her phone, pulled up a video, and held it up to the cat's face. Elizabeth looked at it and saw that in the video, Li Xingzhou was teaching the little girl how to wield a long knife, while the balding man was practicing his fists and feet on the side.

This instructional video dispelled Elizabeth's doubts. She opened the door and asked:
Where did Li Ang go?

“My master went out on a mission. But he seemed to have anticipated today’s unexpected event and left some contingency plans.”

Hit-Girl said with a grin, grabbing Elizabeth's hand:

"Let's go, Ms. Betty. It's not safe here. Aliens could come at any moment. Let's retreat together."

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Li Xingzhou had gone on a mission. She followed Hit-Girl and Big Daddy out of the dormitory building and arrived at a minivan.

Just as the eldest father was about to open the door and get into the car, a beam of light descended from the sky, landing with a loud bang not far from the car and blasting a large hole in the ground. Although the car body shielded them from being hit by the flying debris, the dust kicked up by the explosion still covered their faces.

The dusty old man spat out a mouthful of powder and cursed at the sky, saying:

"Hit-Girl, knock that thing off your head!"

"give it to me!"

HitGirl was also annoyed. She wiped the dust off her face, drew her long sword, and slashed fiercely at the sky. A crescent-shaped, frosty white light shot into the sky, instantly cleaving the aircraft that was circling above the campus and indiscriminately firing at the ground in two.

The aircraft pilot was also cleaved in two by the blade's edge, while the machine gunner in the back seat, who was lucky enough to survive, was frozen into an ice block by the cold air bursting from the blade's edge, and fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The knife used by Hit-Girl was clearly a "quasi-magical weapon" crafted by Li Xingzhou.

Previously, Li Xingzhou used Adamantium alloy and a small amount of refined gold to create weapons for Selena, Guoguo, and HitGirl. Selena and Guoguo received their weapons early on, while HitGirl didn't receive her back-to-school gift until the start of the school year.

Like Selena's cross sword and Guoguo's twin daggers, her long sword was engraved with two rune spells: one was "Cold Moon Slash" and the other was "Wind Blade".

Rune spells can draw on free elemental energy from the air. Once the energy is full, even without true qi or spiritual power, the rune spells can be activated to unleash three Cold Moon Slashes and three Wind Blades.

Cold Moon Slash is a single-target attack with a range of 100 meters. It can automatically track enemies locked on by the user's gaze, possesses extremely sharp slashing ability, and also inflicts freezing damage.

The Xunfeng Blade creates a wide-ranging whirlwind, combining offense and defense. It can both block enemy attacks and frantically annihilate enemies within the whirlwind.

Now, HitGirl is testing the waters, using only one Cold Moon Slash to shoot down that arrogant, low-altitude alien spacecraft.

Big Daddy gave Hit-Girl a thumbs up, opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and then told Elizabeth and Hit-Girl to get in the car quickly.

After the two got into the car, the old man stepped on the gas and sped off towards the edge of the campus.

……

The rooftop of a hotel in mainland China.

Winston, wielding an assault rifle, fired wildly at an alien spacecraft. Unfortunately, he wasn't a professional assassin, and his marksmanship was rather poor. After emptying a magazine, he hadn't hit a single bullet.

As the aircraft flew towards the hotel, the machine gunner in the back seat pointed his gun at the hotel. Winston spat and shouted, "Jonathan!"

Da da da……

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a man with melancholy eyes and a stubble-covered face came over with an assault rifle. He took out the pilot with a burst of fire, and the out-of-control aircraft immediately crashed to the ground.

Winston wiped the cold sweat from his brow, changing the magazine as he said with relief:

"Thank goodness you're here, otherwise my hotel would probably be finished!"

The stubble-faced man named Jonathan sighed:

"It's probably too early to be thankful..."

As they were speaking, three aircraft flew menacingly toward them. Before they even got close, they opened fire, unleashing beams of energy that blasted the hotel's exterior walls into a wrecked mess.

"Ruined!"

Feeling the hotel building shaking continuously, and with the point of impact rapidly approaching the rooftop, Winston shook his head helplessly.

Just when they were in despair, a beam of white light shot out from behind Winston and Jonathan, blasting a spacecraft to pieces with a loud bang.

Then two more beams of white light shot out one after the other, and the other two aircraft exploded and disintegrated in mid-air.

Winston froze, turned around, and saw a tall, slender, beautiful woman in a women's suit with a ponytail, holding a cigarette, standing in front of the rooftop exit.

To her left stood a petite, beautiful woman in combat gear, holding an assault rifle; to her right stood a gigantic centaur, its body entirely silver, as if forged from silver. The centaur's right arm was a giant bow, and its left hand held an arrow nocked, continuously firing at the approaching alien spacecraft.

“Miss Cipher…?” Winston looked at the tall woman, then at the silver-white centaur whose features were almost identical to hers, and said in astonishment, “You’re a superhuman?”

"This is an obvious fact."

Cipher exhaled a smoke ring, led his mistress Villanelle to the edge of the rooftop, glanced at Jonathan changing his magazine, and smiled:

"Is this the infamous 'Nightmare,' the legendary assassin John Wick?"

Jonathan said calmly:

"He's already retired."

Cipher asked, "Now that you're retired, why are you still staying at the Continental Hotel?"

Jonathan was silent for a moment, then said:

"Someone stole my car and killed my dog."

“I see.” Seifer shook his head regretfully. “I thought we could recruit another great general.”

Just then, Villanelle suddenly exclaimed, "Watch out!"

She flashed in front of Cipher, and at the same time a beam of light shot out, hitting Villanelle in the abdomen and blasting her backward toward Cipher.

Cipher's eyes narrowed, and an invisible cushion seemed to appear in front of him, supporting Villanelle.

Winston and Jonathan both thought Villanelle was surely dead and were about to offer their condolences when they saw Villanelle rub her stomach, pick up her assault rifle, and start firing wildly at the alien spacecraft that had just fired, all the while muttering "bitch," "hair," and "scum."

Looking at Villanelle's abdomen, one could see that her clothes had been blasted through, her abdomen was charred and mangled, but the charred dead skin was rapidly peeling off, and the flesh was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, the injury to her abdomen had completely healed, and a new patch of fair skin had grown, without leaving any trace of the injury.

Winston exclaimed in surprise, "So, Miss Vera is also a superhuman?"

Cipher flicked off his cigarette ash and smiled. "Of course."

It is clear that the enhancement agent, which combines the blood of the Celestial Palace people with the Umbrella bio-virus, has been successfully developed.

Although its effects are much weaker than the all-powerful potion that Isaacs envisioned, which could comprehensively enhance strength, agility, physique, and mind, allowing people to instantly become powerful, at least it won't turn people into zombies.

After testing the new version of the enhancement potion, Cipher immediately injected herself with it. Considering that she possessed the Mind Magic, she chose the Mind-oriented enhancement potion in order to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

The enhancement results perfectly matched her expectations. After one dose of the enhancement potion, the power of the Mind Image Mystic Demon increased by fifty percent on the spot. With each subsequent meditation, the efficiency of the Mind Image Mystic Demon's power increase also increased by twenty percent compared to before. She herself also gained a reasonably powerful "telekinesis."

Villanelle opted for a physical enhancement potion, gaining immense strength, defense, and vitality.

It was precisely because of her exceptional defensive capabilities that the energy beam didn't pierce right through her. Otherwise, given her original physique, being pierced through would have been a minor injury; a more serious injury would have likely resulted in her being blown in two at the waist.

"Thank God, with you two superhumans here, plus Jonathan, my hotel is finally saved!"

Just as Winston was about to offer some concrete compensation, Cipher waved his hand and smiled:
“I’m sorry, Winston, I can’t stay here forever. In fact, I’m waiting for a rally order. Once I receive that order, Vera and I will leave this place…”

As she was speaking, the brooch she wore at her collar suddenly lit up slightly, and then she heard Selena's voice in her ear:

"Miss Cipher, it's time to strike!"

Cipher spread his hands toward Winston:

"The mobilization order has arrived. Take care, Winston. Hopefully, after all this is over, I can still stay at your Continental Hotel..."

After saying that, he flipped over and mounted the silver-white centaur, then grabbed Vera's hand and pulled her onto the horse's back as well. With a squeeze of his legs, the silver-white centaur charged straight out of the rooftop railing and plunged towards the ground.

Winston could not hide his disappointment as he watched the silver-white centaur crash to the ground and speed off toward the center of Manhattan.

Jonathan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"On the bright side, since they're charging into the city center where the most aliens are, they must be trying to solve a key problem... Perhaps this will prevent the aliens from diverting more forces to attack from all sides, and the hotel will become safer."

Winston thought about it and realized that made sense. He sighed in relief and lit a cigar.
"Then we should pray for these two beautiful and brave ladies, wishing them to be invincible and victorious in every battle..."

at the same time.

Water Corporation headquarters.

A figure draped in a scarlet robe, with black hair cascading down to his shoulders, and as blurry as a phantom, leisurely stepped into the first floor of the Water Building.

It was none other than the primordial spirit dharma form "Blood Sea Demon Lord"!
Li Xingzhou was multitasking. On one hand, he was cutting through the fog in the misty area, advancing towards the secret base with the Avengers and slaying countless strangely shaped monsters from other dimensions along the way. On the other hand, he was riding the Blood Sea Demon Lord, leaving the Blood Sea Formation, and arriving at the Water Company to visit Azu.

Upon seeing the time tunnel in the sky and the swarms of "Chitauri," he knew who was behind it all.

He even speculated that Loki might have been behind the Misty Zone, causing the spacetime rift to expand out of control and spew out the Misty Zone.

"Using the fog zone to lure the enemy away, then storming the S.H.I.E.L.D. base to obtain the Tesseract, followed by an attack on Vought International, attempting to manipulate Arzhul with the Mind Stone... Although the manipulation of Arzhul failed because of me, the other superhumans at Vought International should not have escaped unscathed. By the way, when did Loki become so powerful? Besides encountering Thanos and obtaining the Mind Stone, did he have some other extraordinary adventure?"

Li Xingzhou guessed with great interest as he got into the elevator and followed the guidance of the inner demon seed to the floor where Azu was.

Originally, he only needed to think about it to project his consciousness directly onto the seed of inner demons through "spiritual resonance".

However, now, the seed of inner demon is trapped in the illusionary dream. Although it can still transmit information, it cannot guide Li Xingzhou's consciousness projection to descend. It requires him to drive his primordial spirit dharma form to travel to the scene to investigate.

This sparked Li Xingzhou's keen interest in Loki's experiences.

After all, the illusionary dream that could trap the seeds of his inner demons was quite sophisticated, and it didn't seem like something Loki could create.

Loki's illusions, seemingly nothing more than convincing but ultimately empty illusions, were merely a form of visual deception...
