"Eject! Jarvis, eject immediately!"
Tony Stark made a decisive decision.
"Sir, we're currently in the air..."
"Eject!"
Tony Stark shouted at Jarvis.
Clang, clang, clang!
The Mark 7 Armor on him immediately "writhed" and ejected, and Tony Stark plummeted from the sky.
Boom!
As Tony Stark ejected, the Destroyer fired a high-heat beam directly at the armor. The armor exploded on the spot, turning into a pile of scrap.
Sparks flew as Tony Stark began to plummet downwards.
Swoosh!
Jarvis, controlling the drone, launched another Mark 7 Armor, which enveloped Tony Stark.
But it was still a step too late. The suit was only half-formed when Iron Man slammed into the ground.
Fortunately, the armor provided some protection, and Tony Stark didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Clang, clang, clang!
Tony Stark quickly got to his feet. The armor on his body was still shifting, not yet fully deployed.
However, the Destroyer had already aimed its head at Tony Stark again.
Its face began to heat up once more.
"Sir!" Jarvis warned again.
At this moment, his suit wasn't fully deployed, and Tony Stark couldn't avoid the attack.
"T1000!" Tony Stark shouted.
Whoosh!
Another Tony Stark suddenly appeared from the side, performing a clean, crisp roll on the ground.
Then, metal surged on his right arm, immediately forming a spear. He flicked his wrist and threw it at the Destroyer.
Clang!
The spear struck the Destroyer's chest.
It pierced deep into the metal seams on the Destroyer's body, pinning it to the wall behind.
The Destroyer swayed, and the high-heat beam from its face erupted as well, but its aim was off.
It hit a car next to Iron Man.
Boom!
The car exploded instantly.
The intense shockwave sent Iron Man flying.
After tumbling twice on the ground, Iron Man stabilized himself with a "superhero landing," one knee down, one hand supporting him and the other outstretched behind.
The new armor's deployment was finally complete.
The Destroyer's metal body then writhed, straightened, and stepped forward, freeing itself from the spear.
Only the silver spear remained, still embedded in the wall.
Swoosh!
The Destroyer began attacking the T1000.
The T1000 was also very agile, immediately darting behind a car to use it as a shield, blocking the Destroyer's attack.
"Jarvis, activate the Lightsaber! Also, prepare another suit of armor." Tony Stark said to Jarvis, taking advantage of the moment.
Buzz!
The Lightsaber in Iron Man's hand materialized once more.
"Let's go!" Iron Man flew towards the Destroyer again.
The two metal behemoths engaged in a fierce battle.
Whoosh!
At that moment, two figures flew through the sky. It was Thor, pulling Captain America by the hand, quickly arriving at the scene.
Just before landing, Thor let go, placing Captain America on the ground. Captain America rolled and then sprang to his feet.
He swung his hammer towards the Destroyer.
Clang!
The Destroyer, which was using its high-heat beam to pursue Iron Man, staggered under Captain America's blow.
"What!"
"That's Thor's hammer?"
"That person, picked up Thor's hammer?"
Loki nearly popped his eyes out, he couldn't believe it.
Loki knew exactly what kind of divine weapon Thor's hammer was; it was something even he couldn't lift.
Now, in a place like Midgard, it was picked up by a mortal?
What a joke!
Swoosh!
Loki then controlled the Destroyer and fired a high-energy beam at Captain America.
Captain America, however, pulled out his shield and held it up, blocking the high-energy beam.
Clang!
At that moment, Iron Man seized the opportunity, using the Lightsaber to slash fiercely at the Destroyer.
"Stark, it's useless! You can't defeat the Destroyer like that!" Thor landed on the ground with the Falcon's wings, calling out to Stark.
"Do you have a better idea?" Iron Man retorted, matching his tone.
"No, I don't think there's any power on Earth that can deal with the Destroyer," Thor shook his head.
Then he shouted at the Destroyer, "Loki, is that you? Brother, what exactly do you want?"
Thor!
Loki let out a low, somber cry, his expression darkening. He felt a surge of intense anger!
Why! Why could Thor, even after being exiled to Midgard, so quickly gain the support of so many people! Why! Thor is just a mindless brute! Driven by his rage, Loki no longer cared about Captain America and Iron Man. He turned his face directly towards Thor and unleashed a high-energy beam.
Whoosh!
But Thor used the Falcon's wings to fly away in an instant.
The Destroyer wanted to chase after Thor, but Captain America and Iron Man weren't pushovers either.
Clang!
First, Iron Man's Lightsaber slashed heavily onto the Destroyer, causing it to stumble. Then, Captain America seized the opportunity and smashed it with his hammer.
He knocked the Destroyer to the ground.
"Good! Keep it up!" Iron Man was very satisfied. "Thor, his target is you. You draw the fire, and Captain and I will handle the attacks!"
"Understood!"
Thor said to the two of them and began to circle around the Destroyer, using the Falcon's flight wings.
Clang clang clang!
Iron Man seized the opportunity to continuously slash the Destroyer with his Lightsaber, but unfortunately, he couldn't break through the Destroyer's defenses at all.
Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, streaks of lightning began to gather in the sky above the city as Captain America swung his hammer, brewing with electricity.
"Stark, get out of the way!"
Captain America yelled at Iron Man, who reacted swiftly, flying outwards.
Then, Captain America slammed the hammer downwards.
Crack!
A terrifying bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking the Destroyer and knocking it to the ground.
The Destroyer was momentarily still.
Iron Man and Thor landed from the sky, flying to Captain America's side. They all stared at the Destroyer with wide eyes.
"Did it work?" Tony Stark asked in a low voice.
"No, the Destroyer isn't so easily destroyed," Thor replied, his face grim.
As if on cue, the Destroyer in front of them stood up again, just as Thor finished speaking.
"Thor, does this thing really have no weaknesses?" Captain America asked, his expression a little strained. He kept a wary eye on the Destroyer as he spoke.
"The Destroyer is invincible!" Thor answered solemnly. "No weapon on Earth can destroy it, and its energy beams can destroy almost anything!"
"Everyone, here it comes again!"
Iron Man's voice rang out as he shot up into the air in his Mark 7 Armor.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Destroyer unleashed another blast of intense heat towards the group, forcing Thor and Captain America to dodge.
Another large crater appeared in the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Clang! Clang! Clang! Crack! Crack! Crack!
And so, the Avengers' Big Three were locked in a fierce battle with the Destroyer.
For a time, high-energy beams flew everywhere, hammers and shields were thrown about, and bolts of lightning continuously struck down from the sky, while Iron Man's Lightsaber slashed and cut.
The various figures crisscrossed, moving constantly between the ground and the air.
It was a dazzling spectacle.
Although the Big Three's close cooperation prevented them from falling behind, and Thor was not in any immediate danger, they were ultimately unable to defeat the Destroyer.
As Thor had said, the Destroyer was simply indestructible.
No matter how hard Iron Man and Captain America attacked the Destroyer, they couldn't inflict any damage.
Screech!
The sound of screeching brakes echoed as a convoy of vehicles came to a halt on the perimeter. Nick Fury had arrived with a group of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elite agents.
Black Widow stood close to Nick Fury, both of them watching the battle with grave expressions.
"Sir, this isn't working," Black Widow said gravely to Nick Fury. "Stark and the Captain can only hold this thing off temporarily, but they can't seem to get rid of it."
Nick Fury was silent. The situation was obvious, even without Black Widow's reminder.
"Stark, Captain, we can't keep fighting like this. We need to come up with a plan," Nick Fury said sternly over the comms.
"Agreed!" Tony Stark replied to Nick Fury while somersaulting in the air. "You've come at the right time. Actually, I have an idea."
"Stark, you have a plan?" Captain America's spirits lifted, and he immediately asked.
To be honest, he was a little anxious. Although Captain America often said, "I can do this all day," it wasn't a sustainable strategy.
After all, this wasn't some desolate wilderness; it was the bustling city of New York! They couldn't just keep stalling indefinitely.
And so far, none of their attacks had any effect on the Destroyer. Captain America genuinely didn't know how to deal with it.
"Everyone, we've been fighting the Destroyer for so long, and it's not like we've gained nothing. At the very least, we've confirmed one thing."
"Thor was right. We currently can't destroy the Destroyer!"
Tony Stark said to everyone in the comms channel while dodging the Destroyer's attacks.
"Stark, get to the point!" Captain America gestured, summoning his hammer back to his hand, and called out to Iron Man.
"Don't rush me, Cap, I'm already getting to the point! If you didn't interrupt me, I'd have already said it!" Iron Man grumbled before continuing, "Since we can't destroy it, we send it away!"
"Send it away? Stark, what do you mean?" Thor dodged an attack from the Destroyer in mid-air and asked. "Where can you send it?"
"Hasn't anyone figured it out yet, even after I've hinted this much? Dark Energy Joint Base!" Iron Man said heavily. "This is the only way we can get rid of the Destroyer!"
After Iron Man's reminder, everyone on the scene understood, even the slower ones.
"Sir, Stark is right, this is indeed the only way!" Black Widow immediately said to Nick Fury in a low voice.
Nick Fury understood this as well.
Because, as things stood, Iron Man and Captain America couldn't handle the Destroyer.
And those two were the greatest forces Nick Fury could currently deploy.
If even they couldn't handle the Destroyer, Nick Fury was out of options.
As for deploying other armed forces? That was clearly out of the question.
The missiles and laser beams on the Mark 7 Armor were useless, and other armed forces wouldn't be any better.
They could only follow Iron Man's plan.
"Stark, there's a problem. We can't guarantee we can open the portal! Even you, in all your past experiments, have only had a success rate of less than thirty percent!"
Nick Fury said in a low voice to Iron Man.
"Don't worry about it, I'll open the portal!" Iron Man shouted at Nick Fury.
"Let's do it, Stark!" Nick Fury decided without hesitation.
"Thor, follow me! Jarvis, suit up the T1000! Captain, the T1000 will take you there. Let's move, everyone!"
Iron Man said to the group, then shot off in the direction away from the battlefield.
Thor didn't quite understand Iron Man's plan yet, but seeing everyone was optimistic about it, he didn't waste any time and immediately followed Iron Man.
Whoosh!
Under Jarvis's control, a drone in the sky launched a Mark 7 Armor at the T1000.
The T1000 quickly suited up, then, holding Captain America, followed closely behind.
As for the Destroyer?
Undoubtedly, it also took flight, chasing after Thor and firing.
And so, a mid-air chase began.
"Get in!"
Nick Fury immediately jumped into the car and started speeding towards the Dark Energy Joint Base. He was in a hurry.
At the same time, he contacted the base and issued an immediate evacuation order.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
"It seems you have a plan."
"Where are you trying to run to?"
"It's useless. You can't possibly defeat the Destroyer!"
Loki watched as Iron Man and the others were constantly flying and dodging in the air ahead of him. A sneer couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Ants are just ants; what can they do, even with a thousand tricks and a hundred variations?
My poor brother, watching you struggle like a clown, only to have all your hopes crushed, finally destroyed in despair.
That kind of scene... just thinking about it makes one look forward to it!
