Chapter 377 Clash of Arms Across a Spatial Channel

On the Chitauri mothership, a fierce argument broke out among the Chitauri high command.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How could such a terrifying being exist in Midgard of the Nine Realms?"

"The information about Midgard came from Prince Loki of Asgard."

"Hiss, could it be that he lied to His Majesty Thanos—he doesn't want to live anymore?"

"Fool, Loki is Odin's son. With Odin protecting him, His Majesty Thanos can't do anything to him."

"So this is an Asgardian trap, and Loki is here as a spy, using the Space Stone as bait to lure Thanos into his trap."

"That's not impossible, after all, Loki is the god of deceit and intrigue."

"Then can we report to Lord Ebony Maw and ask him to tell Thanos, and then, and then terminate this mission?"

""

"Don't be silly, that's His Majesty Thanos. The missions he issues only allow for success or our complete annihilation."

"How can that be? We joined Thanos to survive. If we all die like this, wouldn't our allegiance have been for nothing?"

"Exactly, then we might as well run away now. Anyway, we don't have a home planet, so we can leave whenever we want."

"Don't be so desperate. Thanos isn't delusional; he wouldn't drive his men to a dead end. Otherwise, how could he become the emperor of the universe?"

"Then how do we solve the problem at hand? Oh, no, how do we get His Majesty Thanos to forgive us?"

"Huh, so you've already accepted that you can't defeat the mysterious powerhouse from Midgard?"

"Isn't this just common sense?"

"His control over lightning is even stronger than Thor's in Asgard. The electromagnetic vortexes he creates are irresistible even to trolls. And the spatial passage is so small; our warships, or even larger combat units, can't enter. How are we supposed to fight him?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell us what we should do to get His Majesty Thanos to forgive us."

"It's very simple: use all your strength, truly use all your strength."

"Send out all the soldiers you can. If warships can't get through, can artillery get through?"

"Bombard it, shatter that vortex of metal storm, and continue sending troops until—"

"—Until the spatial passage collapses, then it will no longer be our responsibility. I believe Lord Ebony Maw will accept our explanation."

"agree."

"agree."

I agree.

Relying on the successive sacrifices of the Chitauri, they realized that the [Heaven and Earth Millstone] could not be solved by cannon fodder. So a terrifying beam of light pierced through the Chitauri in the passage and struck the [Heaven and Earth Millstone] directly.

This was the main cannon of the Chitauri's main warship. A single attack vaporized a large amount of metal fragments, and they didn't stop. After confirming the attack was effective, powerful beams of light shot out one after another.

Under the firepower of a civilized fleet, the [Heaven and Earth Millstone] could not hold out for long, and soon lost half of its metal fragments before being abandoned by Xia Zuo.

After confirming that the passage ahead was clear again, the Chitauri cannon fodder once more filled the passage, swarming into Earth like locusts.

Xia Zuo didn't repair the [Heaven and Earth Millstone] because he was already a bit tired of that move, and the Chitauri's firepower was indeed fierce and not so easy to withstand.

Meanwhile, there are not many Chitauri left near Manhattan, so simply blocking the spatial passage would significantly reduce the efficiency of killing enemies, making it very uneconomical.

Seeing the enemy bombard the ground with heavy firepower, each beam of light creating a crater a hundred meters in diameter and more than five meters deep, Xia Zuo couldn't help but feel his deep-seated fear of insufficient firepower.

With such terrifying firepower, if we don't fight back, won't we be looked down upon?

As the instructor once said: "A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

It's not like I lack the ability; I can only helplessly swallow my anger!

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo's anger flared up inexplicably. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, heavy firepower bombardment, is that it? Did you think I didn't have any powerful offensive moves?"

"You guys upgraded first, so don't blame me."

"Furthermore, it is impolite not to reciprocate!"

Xia Zuo flew directly to the bottom of the spatial passage, put his hands together, held them at his right waist, and after a little preparation, pushed them out.

Kamehameha Impact

A beam of light, even more dazzling than the main cannon of a Chitauri warship, was fired from Shazo's hand, burning all the Chitauri soldiers in its path to ashes.

The energy ball of the [Kamehameha Shockwave] passed through the spatial channel and directly hit a main battleship that had just opened fire and had not yet moved away.

Faced with the enormous energy sphere, the armor of the Chitauri's main warships was like a sheet of paper, silently pierced through.

After the energy ball entered the warship, the entire warship suddenly shook and then lost power.

About three seconds later, a series of explosions began from the point where the warship was hit. In just over twenty seconds, the massive capital warship was blown into a series of fireballs.

In the violent explosion, the main warship, which was over 2000 meters long, broke into four pieces and then completely disintegrated, breaking into space debris.

At the other end of the spatial passage, Xia Zuo was unaware that his first attack had yielded tremendous results, so he did not stop there but continued to attack the spatial passage.

Kamehameha Impact

Kamehameha Impact

Kamehameha Impact

One Kamehameha after another pierced through the spatial tunnel, shattering the Chitauri warship's main cannon beams that were retaliating, and even pushing them back against the other side despite the beams' immense impact.

After feeling the impact of the enemy's main gun beam, Xia Zuo was able to correct his attack direction and hit another warship that launched a counterattack.

The warship that was hit was not the main force of the Chitauri. With a length of only about 500 meters, it had no room for buffering and exploded into fireworks in the void almost the instant it was hit by the Kamehameha.

The terrifying power of the Kamehameha Shockwave terrified the Chitauri, who immediately and fearfully activated their mothership and capital ships, moving these vital vessels to a safe distance.

If Shazo manages to hit the mothership by sheer luck, the Chitauri, this interstellar nomadic race, will truly be doomed.

Even without the enemy launching an attack, the cosmic overlord, the Marvel family planning director, Thanos, will take action and wipe out these useless ugly guys, reducing the ecological pressure on the universe.

Working for a self-destructive, artsy villain is incredibly stressful.

Faced with such a fierce counterattack, the Chitauri leadership finally understood the terror of Shazo. Previously, they had only given up hope of conquering Earth, but now they felt an inexplicable fear of it.

A high-ranking Chitauri official's face twitched as he complained, "No wonder His Majesty Thanos didn't come in person. It turns out he already knew Midgard was not to be trifled with and was afraid of being defeated by them."

Another voice immediately rebuked, "Shut up! How could we possibly fathom His Majesty Thanos?"

"Okay, I won't say anything. So what do we do next?"

"Continue the attack, but—elite soldiers should not be sent in."

"I agree. We can produce cannon fodder and regular soldiers very quickly; we can handle even a million deaths. I want to see if the enemy has the stamina to kill so many of our soldiers!"

"Okay, let's continue!"

The Chitauri were cornered by Shazor. They gritted their teeth and made a decision: thousands of metal fish approached the portal and shoved their Chitauri infantry inside.

However, the space passage was too narrow, which meant that even though the Chitauri had gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the speed at which they could transport troops into Earth could not be increased. This not only severely limited the Chitauri army's combat effectiveness, but also made it easy for Shazo to use the Kamehameha to kill large numbers of enemies time and time again.

Taking advantage of the terrain, Xia Zuo single-handedly blocked the enemy at the location of the spatial passage.

The Chitauri had tacitly given up, and were simply continuing to send cannon fodder soldiers into the spatial tunnel, hoping that the humans on the other side would deal with Loki and the spatial tunnel.

Once the portal is closed, the Chitauri can pin all the blame on Loki and escape Thanos's punishment.

At least, that's what the Chitauri people think.

With the Chitauri refusing to commit further, the interstellar invasion war entered a dead end. Thanks to Shazor's outburst, the Avengers no longer had to worry about Chitauri interference and were able to focus all their efforts on the search.

Agents may not be good at fighting, but they excel at finding clues and missing items.

Soon, Black Widow found the Spirit Scepter that Thanos had given to Loki in the rubble.

The golden staff has a beautifully streamlined shape and is engraved with intricate and exquisite magical patterns. The curved, pointed blade gleams with a cold light.

But what attracts the most attention is that dazzling gemstone.

As a woman, Natasha's resilient spirit was shaken when she saw the gem, and she couldn't help but feel a desire to possess it.

But she quickly restrained her desires and, carrying the scepter, rushed to the top floor of Stark Tower.

"The scepter is here!" Natasha said with no small amount of pride. "I found it in this building."

Steve shouted excitedly, "Quick, Natasha, stop the machine and shut down the space portal!"

"Yes!" Natasha gripped the scepter, using it as a spear, and thrust it forward fiercely.

The sharp tip of the staff touched the protective shield made of blue energy, and the huge gem on the staff suddenly emitted a seven-colored light, merging with the blue light shield that spread out from the space gem.

The Avengers were unaware that this stone was also an Infinity Stone, sharing the same origin as the Space Stone, and thus there was no conflict or repulsion between them, allowing them to merge.

However, not knowing the principle did not prevent Natasha from pushing the scepter forward and using the sharp tip to pick the Space Stone out of the activation device.

Under the expectant gaze of the Avengers, the Space Stone fell from the blue light shield and bounced on the ground with a crisp, melodious sound.

The machine's rotation speed dropped rapidly, and the light shield and energy beam, having lost their power, also dimmed.

When the last bit of energy was exhausted, and with the support of the Space Stone gone, the edges of the space tunnel above Stark Tower began to blur and rapidly shrink.

A viscous black substance flowed out from the edge of the spatial passage, rapidly repairing and filling the gaps in the space.

The remaining Chitauri on Earth panicked. They rushed out of their hiding places and charged madly toward Stark Tower.

The Zeta Swiss soldiers with their aircraft went even crazier, ignoring the attacks from the arriving US warplanes and single-mindedly rushing towards the collapsing spatial passage.

Amidst the "buzzing" vibrations of the collapsing space, only a few lucky individuals managed to escape the interception of the Air Force and Xia Zuo and enter the spatial passage. A large portion of them were touched by the viscous black substance and instantly disappeared into it.

When the spatial portal completely closed, all the Chitauri soldiers collapsed on the spot like powerless robot dolls. The individual flying vehicles in the air also instantly shut down and self-destructed, and the bodies of the Chitauri and the fragments of their vehicles fell from the sky.

Captain America breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over."

Xia Zuo clicked his tongue: "That's it? I revealed my true strength, but you didn't give me enough?"

The Chitauri breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the space close: "It's finally over! We Chitauri did our best. It's all Loki's fault!"

"Yes, it's all Loki's fault. We fell into a trap. Lord Ebony Maw won't blame us, will he?"

"

"I hope so."

In the dockyard at Pier 6, Nick Fury slumped into a chair and muttered, "It's finally over."

"I made too many mistakes this time, it's all Hydra's fault. I can't hold back anymore, I have to take drastic measures."

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

Tony Stark, wearing the newly changed Marco 6, flew to the top of Stark Tower and slowly sat down.

He opened his mask, feeling the scorching battlefield winds, and commanded, "Jarvis, develop a new artificial intelligence development plan, and a mechanical warrior development plan."

Yes, Mr. Stark.

"The two projects will be merged and named Project Ultron," and artificial intelligence will also be named Ultron.

[Settings complete, Mr. Stark.]

"very good."

Stark looked again at the devastated Manhattan—collapsed buildings, burning structures and cars, huge shell craters—all of which made his heart ache.

He said to himself, "It's my fault for not being prepared. I didn't expect aliens to invade Earth in this way, which caused such a disaster for New York. It's my fault."

"Next time I will be prepared, and no one will be able to launch another war of aggression!"

"Shazo Dawson, and the Shazo Legion, next time I'll show you that Iron Man and his Iron Legion are the most powerful shield to protect the Earth."

Not everyone was happy and relieved about the end of the war; at least the rats hiding in the gutter were not happy.

"How could this happen?"

"Stark isn't dead, Norman isn't dead, Shazzo isn't dead, what are we going to do if they're not dead?"

"For our money, for our stock, let's do it again!"

"For the money, let's do it again! This time I'm offering three!"
