Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Meanwhile, Nick Fury issued the call to arms for the Avengers.

However, there were very few respondents.

In video link.

"Tony, the Avengers need to get back on track." Fury's one eye betrayed his weariness. "This is a global crisis."

"Back to the team?" Tony, clad in his armor, was adjusting equipment on Vought's helipad, with cadets preparing for deployment in the background. "Nick, I have my team. Look at these kids, they are humanity's hope."

"And," Tony sneered, "do you even know where the aliens are? Are they following you? Waiting until humanity is wiped out before seeking revenge?"

"Tony..."

"I'm hanging up, busy saving the world." Tony abruptly ended the call.

Fury looked at another screen.

"Steve?"

Steve Rogers is helping a nervous cadet check his shield buckle.

"I'm sorry, Director Fury." Steve's voice was calm, but tinged with disappointment. "During the Battle of New York, you didn't even know the nuclear bomb was on your heads. And this time... you don't even know who the enemy is. I can't entrust my back to an organization I don't trust."

"I want to be with these trainees; they need me."

"The Avengers... are outdated."

The video went black.

Silence fell over Fury's office.

Finally, Clint Barton, who was left with nothing, silently wiped his bow and arrows. "Boss, I'm still here."

Natasha Romanoff sighed and put her legs up on the table. "Me too. Although I also think that blond megalomaniac is quite charismatic, I still prefer to work with people I know."

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Dr. Bruce Banner walked in somewhat awkwardly.

"Um... I saw the news. I felt I should come and help. After all... I really messed up New York last time."

Looking at the remaining trio of "man, woman, and beast," Fury felt an unprecedented sense of desolation.

The once invincible Avengers have fallen to this state.

……

Water Mobilization Center

"You've chosen this path." Azu waved his hand. Several bodyguards came up carrying black metal cases and opened them.

As the cold air dissipated, neatly arranged green syringes were revealed inside.

T-VEX.

"What is this?" Tony Stark leaned closer, his armor visor scanning the syringe. "Gamma radiation? No... this energy reading is strange."

"This is our trump card."

Ah Zu picked up one and held it in the air.

"This is the latest achievement of the Water Life Sciences Division—the T-VEX Hulk Experience Card."

"It can increase your strength by at least twenty times within 20 minutes, making you invulnerable to blades and bullets... and even enhance your superpowers."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"And the price?" Steve Rogers asked sharply.

"Yes," Azu admitted frankly. "After the effects wear off, you'll be as weak as a drowned rat. And... at most two doses a day."

He tossed the syringe to Steve.

"This is insurance for you. If you encounter a situation where you are certain to die... insert it, it can save your life."

"Of course, these are also weapons for you."

Azu looked at the students.

"Ordinary dark elves have physical abilities more than ten times that of humans. With this... you'll be hunters for at least 20 minutes."

"Two bottles each. Remember, don't overindulge."

The process of distributing the medicine was quick.

Everyone eagerly inserted the green test tubes into the slots of their suits.

Even Tony Stark took two and stuffed them into his armor's storage compartment.

……

Watt Alheim, the Dark World.

There is no color here, only endless ashes and a deathly silent wind.

The sky is a dirty rag, shrouding this cursed wasteland.

"Is this your plan?"

Loki looked at the huge black cross-shaped ship in front of him and sneered.

"I thought that after the Battle of New York, your brain would have grown some new wrinkles."

"Shut up, Loki." Thor held Jane Foster tightly, her face pale, his eyes hard. "Proceed with the plan."

They stood on the sand dunes.

Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, slowly stepped off the spaceship, exuding a suffocating aura of oppression.

On that face, as pale as a corpse, only half was intact; the other half bore scorch marks from lightning strikes—a "gift" left by Thor in Asgard.

Behind him followed the mountain-like monster—the cursed warrior Argorim.

"Asgardians," Malekith's voice was laced with suppressed rage, "how dare you come to my territory."

"I'm here to end all of this!" Thor roared.

Suddenly, Loki attacked, stabbing Thor in the waist with a dagger. Thor screamed and fell to the ground, while Jane Foster screamed in terror.

Thor reached out to summon Mjolnir, but Loki severed his arm.

This is a performance put on for Malekith's benefit.

To put him at ease, the ether particles were extracted from Jane's body.

Malekith fell for it.

He looked at Jane Foster greedily; she was the power he had always longed for.

He raised his hand, and a dark magical field enveloped Jane.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Jane was suspended in mid-air in agony as red fluid was forcibly extracted from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth like silk.

The red particles gathered in the air and condensed into a restless, dark red energy ball.

"Now!!"

Thor, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up!

"Loki!!"

"You don't need to shout, you big dummy!"

Loki instantly dispelled the illusion, and Thor summoned the most violent lightning from Mjolnir in his hand.

"boom--!!!"

In the instant that the aether particle was separated from its host and had not yet been absorbed by Malekith, Thor's hammer, carrying immense power, slammed into the red energy ball!

explosion.

A violent energy wave swept across the entire wasteland.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Thor, panting heavily, looked ahead expectantly.

However, when the dust settled...

The red substance did not dissipate.

It turned into countless tiny crystal fragments, suspended in the air, and then, as if summoned, they reassembled.

But this clump of ether particles... looks somewhat "thin".

Malekith reached out his hand, and the ball of red energy gently merged into his body.

Power surged.

"What's going on?!" Malekith suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils filled with rage and confusion.

"Only half?!"

He felt a kind of incomplete hunger within his body.

"Where is the other half?!" Malekith roared deafeningly, and the surrounding rocks crumbled with his fury.

"I've already destroyed the other half, you black bastard!" Thor laughed triumphantly.

"Kill them!!" He didn't have time to play games with these two Asgardians; the celestial conjunction that occurs once every five thousand years was fast approaching.

"kill--!!"

The cursed warrior Argorim moved.

He charged at Thor like a giant, heavy tank.

Thor raised Mjolnir and swung it down hard.

"Bang!"

What happened next shocked Saul.

This Mjolnir, which is indestructible in the Nine Realms, was actually knocked away by the cursed warrior with one hand!
