Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 333 They're all wiped out?
The fiery clouds carried the ground as it slowly rose into the air.

Those who reacted quickly, in a panic, scrambled down from the edges before the ground rose too high.

Even so, many people remained seated in a daze after leaving the ground that had risen into the air, unable to get up again, just watching helplessly as the earth rose into the air like an inverted mountain.

Beneath the pointed, muddy ground, there were no large clusters of seemingly advanced particle jets, nor any anti-gravity devices that sounded impressive but were actually quite mysterious.

Even the enormous propellers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier, which looked extremely unscientific, were nowhere to be seen.

It was just ordinary fiery clouds that were able to slowly lift this large area of ​​land into the air.

"What kind of witchcraft is this?"

Everyone just stared blankly at the sky.

Only Luca, who was taking off, seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the barrier that had not disappeared before him.

'Huh? It's not externally powered yet? Tony, he didn't just build a bunch of arc reactors to use as batteries for this thing, did he?'

Luca, who thought that controlling the ground to take off would sever the external power lines and dismantle the barrier, felt somewhat helpless once again.

However, he was not discouraged by this. Instead, he raised his head and roared a dragon's cry towards the sky.

At this moment, due to the ground shaking, coupled with the damage from the previous explosion, the situation worsened.

The ground beneath his feet had also revealed a semi-transparent energy barrier.

Since this energy barrier is a hexagonal, inward-facing cage, it's naturally easier to destroy it from the outside.

As the dragon's roar echoed across the sky, large swaths of dark clouds quickly gathered in what had been a relatively clear sky.

The dark cloud appeared only briefly before lightning and thunder began to flash within it.

Soon, the first bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds.

However, the lightning bolt was not aimed at the energy shield that trapped Luca, but at the seemingly insignificant ground around the shield.

As the first bolt of lightning struck, the dirt and bricks on the ground were immediately blasted into pieces and flew everywhere, crashing down from the sky.

Immediately following this, countless bolts of lightning struck down in succession.

In the dark clouds where there was no rain, thunderbolts formed raindrops.

Yes, of course, for those further down, the real raindrops were the large and small pebbles that kept falling down.

In the blink of an eye, the ground supporting Luca was shattered into pieces by lightning.

At this moment, the shield generator, which was originally buried underground, was finally revealed, and it was densely covered with countless small arc reactors as energy sources.

Unfortunately, the core energy sources that have already been exposed are of little use.

As more lightning bolts struck, the blue-glowing arc reactors exploded and shut down, and the translucent barrier that had trapped Luca quickly dissipated.

Seeing that it had finally escaped its predicament, the giant dragon, which had been coiled up, was able to stretch out.

"Roar--"

With a roar that sounded almost like that of a wild beast, the pink dragon immediately withdrew its fiery clouds and soared into the sky.

The inverted cone-shaped landmass, already mostly broken, plummeted towards the ground like a small meteorite after losing its support.

"Boom—" A deafening roar erupted, sending dust billowing across the land and causing it to tremble violently.

Fortunately, the land wasn't too large, so Luca didn't lift it too high into the air.

Otherwise, who knows how far this terrifying impact would have spread.

Even so, this small earthquake still drew the attention of everyone in the distant refugee resettlement area.

At this moment, many people are running out of their homes in a panic amidst the tremors.

What they saw first was the pink dragon rapidly ascending into the air before quickly plunging downwards.

However, outsiders might find it quite awe-inspiring to watch the giant dragon in the sky swooping down into the massive plumes of smoke rising from the ground.

But Luca, who plunged into the smoke and dust with a heart full of anger, had nowhere to vent his rage.

There was no other reason. Luca, who had just escaped, was thinking of dealing with these bastards who surrounded him, but who would have thought that the earth's impact alone had already blasted most of them to pieces.

After choking on his own mouth several times in the smoke and swallowing a mouthful of sand, Luca could only vent his anger by spewing out a few mouthfuls of flame before helplessly transforming back into human form.

Looking at the completely destroyed force field generator amidst a pile of Skrull corpses beside him, Luca could only kick it twice in frustration.

"You're doing things that harm your own people! Just wait until I get my hands on you!"

Of course, that's what he said, but considering that Tony the bastard was most likely captured by the Skrulls, he still had to save him.

However, what Luca didn't know was that he had actually wronged Tony this time.

This large force field generating device was originally developed by Tony after the last Hellgate incident as a preparation for encountering similar events again.

Unfortunately, before he could even encounter the Second Gate of Hell, he was ambushed and captured by the Skrulls. This valuable item fell into the hands of the enemy and became a weapon against Luca.

Well, all I can say is that this research wasn't a complete waste.
Once the dust settled, Luca prepared to look for any surviving Skrulls to find out what had happened.

Suddenly, a large group of flying objects appeared in the distant sky.

Luca stared intently into the distance and saw that the leader was none other than Vision, who wore a ring of Buddhist beads around his neck, while behind him flew only the few remaining Orange battle robots.

"That's true. Although I haven't been out of contact for long, it's impossible for my hometown to remain indifferent."

Luca's pile of miscellaneous equipment included many items with communication capabilities.

With their communication signals suddenly cut off by the enemy, Haro at the base couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

Vision was the first to lead his team there simply because he was not far from the location.

If Vision also loses contact, even if spatial teleportation is blocked in the vicinity, Harlow will likely use his authority to mobilize the Spotted People to open a teleportation sect army from a greater distance.

'Hmm, it seems that even if I don't use force to escape, Vision will eventually arrive with his main force to rescue me.'

Looking at the mess around him, Luca's lips twitched as he figured out what had happened.

However, before Vision, who was flying in the air, could arrive, Gwen's communication request, which had been disconnected due to signal jamming, rang again.

However, just as Luca was about to answer the phone, a mound of earth covered with rubble appeared behind him.

A metallic arm, glowing from the palm, slowly rose and locked onto Luca's vest.
