Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

Even if Thanos comes in person, so what? He can't snap his fingers without all six Infinity Stones.

Thanos, who couldn't snap his fingers, might not be someone I couldn't defeat if I were to unleash my full power now.

Even if I can't kill him, I can wear him down with my cheat-level recovery ability!

Therefore... the advantage lies with me!

Without hesitation, Peter pulled out his phone, opened the superhero communication channel he had personally designed, pressed the broadcast button, and uttered a simple yet classic line:

"Avengers Assemble!"

……

Two hours later, the conference room at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was packed with people.

The Avengers, Fist of Shadow, Twilight Eye, Black Rose, and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were all present.

After everyone had arrived, Peter stepped onto the platform and began to speak directly:

"A new storm... no, I mean a new war has begun."

There was a two-second silence in the meeting room, followed by an uproar.

"Again?" Hawkeye was finding it hard to accept this reality.

The last invasion by the heirs made him acutely aware of his own powerlessness.

And now, less than a month later, another major battle is about to begin. Who can stand this?!

"It's not just that they've come again. This time, the scale far exceeds the last battle. Last time, our opponents were just a few people from the Heir Family. This time, we are facing an army of tens of thousands of aliens."

"Fake!"

Tony couldn't help but swear:

"Our defenses might not be able to hold out in a war of this scale! Damn it, we should contact the United Nations and build an extraterrestrial defense line first!"

"By the time the UN passes the resolution, New York will have been turned upside down!"

Peter first made a sarcastic remark, and then spoke:

"There's no time for complaining, because the situation is critical, so our meeting this time will mainly focus on developing a battle plan."

"The plan is simple: it's divided into two lines."

First: Evacuate the people.

His gaze swept over Yelena, Harry, and the others:

"Except for William and Alexei, all the members of the Shadow Fist blended into the crowd to guide citizens into the underground safe house."

Yelena, you, along with Black Rose and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, will also assist in the evacuation. Freddy will manage the opening order of the passages in real time; you just need to follow the instructions.

In wartime, you will be the commanders of each stronghold, responsible for directing the troops on the ground to defend the entrance to the death!

Upon hearing this, Yelena and Harry exchanged a glance and nodded in unison: "No problem."

"Second: Combat."

At this point, Peter glanced at Gwen and the others and said:

"The entire Avengers team, including Twilight's Eye, will be deployed. Captain America, William, Alexei, Hawkeye, Daisy, and Banner will be responsible for the ground battle, while Tony, Natasha, Gwen, Felicia, and Sif will provide air and mobile support."

"And you?" Tony looked up at him.

“Me?” Peter smiled slightly at them, then spoke:

"Of course I was watching from behind!"

Chapter 281 What you said makes so much sense, we are speechless.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

"Watching?" Tony couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Twenty or thirty thousand alien troops are coming to our door, and you're just standing there watching?"

"Otherwise what?" Peter shrugged matter-of-factly.

"If I go up there and finish the fight in three minutes, do you think you'll still have a chance to practice your skills?"

The entire conference room fell silent.

Boss, what you said makes so much sense, we're speechless...

"Don't worry, you just need to focus on fighting."

Peter, like a big shot, put his feet up on the conference table:

"I will intervene when you can no longer hold on, but before I do—"

He glanced at everyone present, his tone becoming serious.

"I want to see just how far you can go."

……

The first thing Peter did after the meeting was to call George.

On the other end of the phone, the President of the United States nearly fell off his chair.

However, he quickly accepted the outcome and, out of absolute trust in Peter, decisively stated that he would arrange the situation according to Peter's arrangements.

After informing George to be ready, all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s satellites adjusted their orbits, with all cameras pointing in the same direction—the outer reaches of the solar system.

At 1:03 PM, the first clear image was transmitted back to Earth.

Five enormous black silhouettes appeared near Jupiter's orbit. They resembled some kind of ancient sea creature, covered in metallic shells, their surfaces shimmering with dark red bands of light.

Chitauri whale ship.

When the image was projected onto the large screen in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control room, everyone present stopped what they were doing.

Tony, as the technical advisor, was the first to speak:

"Based on their current speed, they will enter the Earth's atmosphere in 23 hours and 17 minutes. Their landing coordinates... cannot be predicted."

"There's no need for predictions anymore."

Peter sipped his cola and casually began to speak:

"If a force from far beyond the Milky Way suddenly arrives on Earth, it is most likely coming for us."

"Us?" Everyone was taken aback.

"What do we have that they would covet?"

Peter didn't speak, but he and Tony exchanged a glance, both understanding each other without saying a word.

Which intelligent life wouldn't be tempted by the Cosmic Cube, a truly inexhaustible source of energy?

The message reached the White House within a minute.

Without further hesitation, George immediately activated the presidential emergency broadcast authority, and red alerts popped up simultaneously on televisions, cell phones, and outdoor screens throughout New York.

"Attention all New York City residents—"

George's voice came through every terminal; his expression was serious, but his tone was remarkably steady. This president, who had once remained unfazed by Iron Man's missiles, displayed the composure expected of a head of state at this critical moment.

"Intelligence has confirmed that an armed force from outer space is moving toward New York. It is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Don't panic. I assure you, we are fully prepared for this day."

"All citizens are requested to follow the route guidance pushed to their mobile phones and enter the nearest underground safe house in an orderly manner within the next twelve hours."

I'll say it again—don't panic.

Without prior experience, everyone would have thought it was an April Fool's joke, or that President George had gone mad.

However, after the previous successor incident, the public not only did not panic, but instead demonstrated an unprecedentedly rapid response.

Everyone followed the plan and assembled to head to the nearest shelter.

By noon the next day, there were no civilians to be seen on the streets.

The streets of Manhattan were deserted, and evacuation instructions were still playing on a loop on the giant screens in Times Square.

The superheroes were scattered in twos and threes on various high points throughout New York.

Captain America stands on the Brooklyn Bridge, shield slung over his back, gazing at the sky.

Tony hovered atop the Empire State Building, fully armed with a Mark 47, ready for action.

Gwen was squatting on the edge of an apartment building's rooftop, her toes dangling in mid-air, looking quite relaxed—but the "Shield of the Six Flowers" pinned to the end of her hair was already glowing faintly.

Felicia stood in the very center of Central Park, the ten rings on her fingers shimmering with a faint glow of energy.

Sif found a seat at the top of the Statue of Liberty's torch, her twin swords resting on her lap.

William and Alexei stood guard on both banks of the Hudson River.

Natasha and Hawkeye occupied the rooftop of the United Nations building.

Hulk paced back and forth on the streets of Lower Manhattan, the ground shaking with each step he took.

As for Peter himself?

He moved a chair and sat on the rooftop of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the distant universe, on Thanos's floating throne, a giant holographic projection is displaying a real-time image of Earth.

Loki sat in the corner, gripping the armrests with both hands, without saying a word.

Ebony Maw stood respectfully behind Thanos: "My lord, the vanguard fleet has entered the gravitational range of the target star system and is expected to arrive at the surface in three hours."

Thanos didn't reply, but just stared coldly at the blue planet in the projection.

This time, he will use absolute force to make Loki understand that in front of Thanos, all living beings have no choice but to kneel down and submit, and accept the rules he has set!

……

3:17 PM.

A huge hole was torn in the clouds over New York.

Five Chitauri whale ships pierced the atmosphere, leaving long, fiery tails, and appeared directly above Manhattan.
