At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier, like a black behemoth, streaked across the sky and rapidly approached the area where the church was located on the outskirts of New York.

Inside the mothership, lights flickered, the atmosphere was heavy, and the piercing alarm relentlessly tightened the hearts of everyone present.

Nick Fury stood in front of the command console, staring intently at the crisis signals flashing incessantly on the holographic screen. The frequency of those signals was just like the heartbeats of everyone present.

"OMG Fuck!"

The agents in the command center were as anxious as ants on a hot plate, and they couldn't help but understand why the director always liked to say "damn it" so often.

Although the mountain didn't fall on their heads, the powerful sense of oppression was still suffocating, and they couldn't breathe freely without saying a few words.

"It is about 3,000 meters high, with a circumference of 97 meters and a total mass of no less than 1.1 million tons. It is expected to make a strong impact on the ground in 24 seconds."

24 seconds?

The monitoring personnel's words struck everyone like a hammer blow, leaving them feeling utterly devastated. In such a short time, it was simply impossible to find a suitable solution.

"The initial estimate of the mountain's kinetic energy during its fall exceeds 3000 trillion joules. The energy released at the moment of impact with the ground is equivalent to a 700-megaton nuclear bomb..."

The monitoring personnel continued to report, their voices filled with barely concealed panic, and by the end they were almost unable to continue.

It's important to know that the atomic bomb "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima by the United States had a yield of only 1.5 tons of TNT, while the energy released when this giant mountain fell was more than 500 times that amount.

Of course, the destructive effects of a mountain and a nuclear bomb cannot be compared.

Even so, it was a terrifying disaster comparable to a small nuclear bomb explosion.

With his hands behind his back, Fury calmly asked, "Right now, all I want to know is how many people will die and how much economic damage will be caused."

"Theoretically, buildings and people within a two-kilometer radius would disappear in an instant. The destructive range of the strong impact is about twelve kilometers. Buildings within this range would be damaged by a magnitude 7 earthquake. The radiation range of the seismic waves is about ninety kilometers. It is estimated that there will be about 16000 casualties and direct economic losses exceeding 300 billion."

The data was cold and cruel, causing everyone present to gasp in shock.

This is only because the landing point was remote; if it had crashed in the heart of New York, the casualties would have been more than a hundred times greater.

"Three...three hundred billion?"

Fury lost his composure and roared like a mad dog: "Fuck you!!"

Immediately, he quickly composed himself and asked urgently, "Have the Avengers arrived yet? We must, absolutely, control the economic losses to... Fuck! No losses!"

Meanwhile, members of the Avengers also received emergency summons.

Thor, wielding Mjolnir, his eyes flashing with electricity, raised his hand and summoned an incredibly thick bolt of lightning. Using the power of the lightning, he instantly teleported above the church.

Iron Man, piloting the latest Mark armor, swooped down like a high-speed meteor, the armor's thrusters surging with energy and emitting bursts of roar.

"What's going on? Why did a mountain fall from the sky?"

Tony asked through the armor's built-in communication channel, his tone filled with disbelief: "Thor, do you have any way to stop it?"

Thor frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say. I can only try my best."

As he spoke, he raised Thor's hammer high, arcs of electricity crackling around its surface, and powerful lightning surged around him. A dazzling white light covered the base of the mountain like an electric grid, attempting to use divine power to slow the descent.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use."

Tony observed carefully for a moment, then said uncertainly.

Thor gritted his teeth, raised Mjolnir high, and replied with difficulty, "No, you only see the surface. In reality, its speed has been reduced by 1% under my control!"

"What's the difference between 1% and being useless?" Tony couldn't help but complain.

"The difference is," Saul said irritably, "I'm at least somewhat useful, while you just spout nonsense!"

Just as the two were bickering, Captain Rogers' helpless voice came through the communication channel.

"Time is running out, Tony. I know you have a way. Do I need to kneel down and beg you?"

"Really? If you're willing to do this on your own, I wouldn't mind at all!"

"Eight seconds left," Natasha's icy voice interrupted.

More than enough.

Tony knew the situation was urgent, so he quickly maneuvered his suit, performing a rapid flip in the air before opening the weapon bays on the chest and arms of the suit, revealing rows of sophisticated missiles and laser launchers.

"Guys, I must proudly introduce my latest secret weapon, the MIRV-type... Impact Array Laser-Guided Explosive Bomb!"

You all know what lasers are, right? This thing is a perfect fusion of laser and sub-channel technology. The array is even more amazing. You can imagine the scene of fireworks exploding. Believe me, it's absolutely beautiful.

It was clearly a name made up on the spot, but Tony managed to pull it off convincingly.

The crowd watched him continue his performance in silence.

Although it might seem like a show-off, its power... is undeniable!

In an instant, hundreds of miniature missiles shot off like arrows, flying toward the falling mountain with sharp whistles and trails of flame.

Violent explosions rang out one after another, with flames and smoke engulfing the entire mountain. Each explosion shattered large chunks of rock, rapidly reducing the size of the mountain.

"Well done."

Seeing this, Thor curled his lip, not to be outdone. He gripped Mjolnir tightly with both hands and released all his divine power without reservation.

The electric arcs that were originally wrapped around the hammer instantly became several times thicker, roaring out like dancing thunder dragons.

Then, he suddenly spun Thor's hammer and swung it at the small stones that had been shattered and scattered. With each bounce and impact, a powerful bolt of lightning shot out, accurately striking the stones.

Under the impact of divine power, the rocks turned into dust, and Tony's missiles continued to bombard them. The mountain grew smaller and smaller, gradually turning from a colossal object into a pile of debris, losing its original enormous threat.

On the bridge of the Helicarrier, Steve and the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents watched nervously below, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the crisis was over.

Steve, beaming, spoke into the communicator, "Well done, guys! I hereby declare that the Avengers have once again..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his smile froze on his face, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

In fact, the crisis was not over. Gray had planned to go home after leaving a mountain behind, but seeing everyone's enthusiasm, like they were filming a movie, he couldn't help but get fired up and quickly moved another mountain from a distance.

This mountain is much larger, resembling a moving island. Just one glance is enough to make you feel its terror—it is more than ten times larger than a massive sky carrier!

"Will this ever end, you son of a bitch?!"

Nick Fury felt his pent-up anger instantly burn away his reason. He grabbed the tablet on the console and started smashing and kicking it, on the verge of a breakdown.

He knew in his heart that Gray's actions were not simply about killing a few mutants; he was clearly using this as an excuse to escalate the situation.

Showing off muscles? Or using it as an excuse for extortion?

None of that matters. We absolutely cannot let that mountain crash down again!

Let's negotiate.

Fury took a deep breath, trying to make his trembling voice sound calm; he knew Homelander would hear him.
