130 Chapter 130: Sorcerer, Open a portal!
"I... can do this... all day."
Captain America grinned, raised his shield, and stood at the front line, roaring as the first wave of enemies surged toward him.
"Hahaha! None of this will be wasted in the slightest!"
Thor laughed wildly, wielding Mjolnir high and once again gathering lightning from the sky—although Oaks was currently in bear form, he still provided assistance to Thor!
"Wow, is this the same strike from the forest? That's definitely worth looking forward to."
Tony recalled why Oaks had instructed Thor to strike Captain America's shield.
The combination of Thor's enchanted hammer made of Uru metal and Steve's vibranium-made shield created a perfect fusion of Uru metal's magical enhancement, powerful physical attacks, and vibranium's absorption-vibration-storage-release process.
And the reason why Oaks made Tony serve as one of the secondary tanks instead of Thor was because his Mark VII armor had been reinforced with Uru metal plates, giving him powerful defense.
Now, Tony could be said to be wearing heavy armor.
"Oh... This is really insane."
Barton tilted his head and switched the arrowhead in his quiver to a highly explosive one, then bent his bow and nocked an arrow.
He glanced at Oaks, who stood like a dam in front of everyone, as well as the four tank teammates surrounding him and Thor:
"But I have to say, it's really reassuring."
"Roarrrr!"
The roar echoed once again as Oaks, in his starlight-filled ethereal form, waved his forepaw, causing sharp thorny vines to rise from the ground, entangling the charging Chitauri soldiers' legs!
Then, this first unlucky group was trampled to pieces by their own comrades from behind.
"Boom rumble—!"
"Are you ready?"
"Always ready!"
"Excellent!"
With the completion of Thor's lightning summoning, he swung his hammer at Captain America's shield—
"Boom—Rumble—!"
A deafening thunderous roar, the raging thunderous energy impact spread in a hemisphere centered around them, directly sending the Chitauri army that had almost entirely gathered there flying!
The violent explosion caused by the Chitauri army rippled out like a grand fireworks display, heralding the Earth's powerful counterattack!
This miraculous battle style left even the Sorcerer Supreme stunned for a moment.
The Avengers stared at the Sorcerer Supreme, who had just stepped out of the circular portal.
"...Who are you? Is there a magic show in New York today?"
Tony had already scanned the stylishly dressed bald woman.
"Sir, the pendant on her chest emits a unique energy that cannot be analyzed at the moment."
Jarvis's voice made Tony's expression grow solemn. He aimed his gauntlet at the unshielded Ancient One.
"Identify yourself."
"I am the Ancient One, leader of the Kamar-taj, guardians of Earth. You may call me the Sorcerer Supreme."
The Ancient One didn't look at Tony or the others but turned her gaze toward Oaks, who had transformed into a bear.
"There are some matters I need to discuss with you."
"For now, let's put that aside. That was the portal you just made, right??"
Oaks's ethereal form shrank slightly, and his bear eyes, shimmering with light, looked at the long-awaited Sorcerer Supreme.
With the Space Stone continuously opening portals, on the entire Earth, only the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One, could freely open portals like this:
"Sorcerer Supreme? We need your help."
Ancient One: "?"
"Open a portal and send us to the next block—it'll be much faster than running by ourselves! Afterward, I'll cooperate with you if you truly want to protect the Earth!"
"..."
The next moment, the mind-numbing roar echoed through the adjacent block once again:
"Damn sons of bitches!!"
"Roarrrr!"
"Boom rumble—!"
...
"Director, the Council has made a decision."
Nick Fury, who just restored communication on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, stared at the annoying figure on the monitor with a dark expression—
One of the members of the Council, Gideon Malick.
He glanced at Agent Hill and said, "I know the Council has made a decision, but since that decision is utterly foolish, I've decided to ignore it!"
"Director Fury, you are closer to the front lines than any of us. The planes will depart from your location..."
"This is Manhattan! Congressman! The Avengers have found an effective way to strike the enemy, and I will not issue a nuclear strike command in such densely populated areas!"
"If we don't block the enemy within a short time, we will lose everything!"
"If we use a nuclear bomb like this, we will still lose everything!"
"Shhh!"
Fury waved his hand and shut off the monitor. He understood very well what the Council's intention was in launching nuclear bombs.
Firstly, they did want to use Earth's most powerful means of attack to destroy the invading aliens.
Once Loki succeeded, the first unlucky ones would be these politicians!
Secondly...
They never really liked those Avengers who operated beyond their control, especially after they had demonstrated their formidable combat power in this war!
Two birds with one stone? Killing two birds with one stone?
The sacrifices of the Avengers would relieve them of the concern of superhumans challenging their authority.
Undoubtedly, they would become heroes of all mankind—but dead heroes were good heroes.
However, what Fury didn't know was that HYDRA had grown impatient with the combat capabilities displayed by the superheroes.
As for Manhattan...
Compared to the terrifying extraterrestrial invaders, sacrificing a mere district was nothing significant. No one could blame the Council for this matter!
Instead, the Council's decisive action would become a positive measure in future propaganda to avoid further casualties!
Thus, under the direct orders of the Council, Nick Fury was stripped of his command authority, and the plane carrying the nuclear bomb took off from the Helicarrier!
Although Nick Fury personally used a rocket launcher to destroy one of the planes, the Council was well aware of the behavior of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director—
Not one plane took off, but two!
Amidst Nick Fury's furious curses, they headed straight for Manhattan, launching the nuclear bomb!
"I can shut it down!"
Just as the Avengers stepped out of the orange portal, having cleared a whole block, they heard Natasha's call:
"I can shut down the portal! Dr. Selvig left a fail-safe!"
"Close it quickly!"
Captain America gasped for breath. As long as they closed the portal, the remaining Chitauri soldiers wouldn't survive for more than an hour under their efficient cleanup!
"Don't close it!"
Tony suddenly froze, then shot up into the sky:
"Hey, guys, we're in trouble!"
"Nick Fury just called and said a nuclear bomb is heading toward us, and we have less than three minutes—"
"It can level the entire Manhattan, those damn Council bastards!"
"Are they insane?!"
The Avengers could hardly believe what they were hearing—
With the assistance of the miraculous Sorcerer Supreme, they had already cleared most of the block using their combined tactics. Natasha could close the portal any moment, and victory was within reach!
But now they wanted to use a nuclear bomb?!
They couldn't believe that the Council's satellites couldn't see the situation on the battlefield!
"Tony! You..."
"I know where to direct this thing to explode!"
