2013, Great Britain.
"Thor, you Asgardians really made a mess this time!" Tony's voice came from inside his armor.
"Stark! Not Asgard! It's the Dark Elves! Those bastards, the Dark Elves, are behind all of this!" Thor roared furiously, then slammed mjolnir into a Dark Elf soldier, sending him flying.
"These damn guys! They killed my mother! And they killed Loki!" Thor's lightning erupted, electrocuting a group of surrounding soldiers into coke.
"I'll make them pay!!!" Thor spun mjolnir and hurled it fiercely towards Malekith, who was standing in a black tornado in the distance.
Thor's roar echoed through the shattered streets of London, mjolnir, imbued with the power of thunder, sliced through the air, heading straight for Malekith's head!
However, the King of the Dark Elves merely raised his hand disdainfully, and the Aether Particle's crimson energy instantly coalesced into a barrier. mjolnir was actually repelled, smashing into a distant building, causing a roar.
"Pay?" Malekith's voice was hoarse, like the friction of decaying tree bark, the price of thousands of years of slumber. "Your rage changes nothing, Odinsson. When the Nine Realms converge, darkness will consume all light—and your mother, your brother, are just the beginning."
"Shut up!!!" Thor reached out and summoned mjolnir, lightning surging around him, the asphalt road beneath his feet melting from the high temperature.
He leaped up, his body carrying immense lightning, and slammed into Malekith, but was easily dissolved by the Aether Particle within the black tornado. Crimson energy coiled around Thor's arm like a venomous snake, flinging him violently towards the banks of the River Thames!
"Jarvis, analyze that magic tornado!" Tony's Mark-Eclipse armor streaked across the sky. His six photon wings spread open, and his dual beam sabers crossed, slicing three Dark Elf soldiers in half. Simultaneously, his shoulder armor flipped open, and a cluster of miniature missiles whistled out, blowing up enemies across half a street into pieces.
"Energy composition unknown," the AI calmly reported. "Suggest attempting interference with a photon cannon."
"Then let's try it!" Tony retreated sharply, his six mechanical wings instantly reconfigured, forming a massive energy cannon. Dazzling white light gathered at the muzzle—
"Eat this, 'Solar Flare'!"
A scorching white beam of light slammed into the black tornado, and the Aether Particle's barrier was briefly torn apart! Malekith's body swayed, his pupils constricting: "How dare an ant—"
Before he could finish, Thor burst out of the river! mjolnir, sensing the call, flew back into his hand. He used the momentum to swing Mjolnir in a full-moon arc: "For Frigga!!!"
This time, the hammer strike landed squarely on Malekith's chest! The King of the Dark Elves spat out a mouthful of black blood and staggered back. But in an instant, the Aether Particle repaired his injuries. He sneered and raised his hand, and the ground of the entire street began to twist—
"Careful!" Tony's thrusters went full throttle, pulling Thor into the air at the last moment. The ground beneath their feet had already transformed into a crimson vortex, greedily devouring bricks and steel.
"Damn it, this thing is unkillable!" Tony spat, his brow furrowed beneath his faceplate. "Thor, don't you Asgardians have some kind of 'Dark Elf-specific divine artifact'?"
Thor gasped, rain mixed with blood dripping from his golden hair: "How would I know? I never cared about such things."
"Ha! Typical Thor style." Tony's photon wings re-separated into six, and his hand cannons fired continuously to force back the surging enemies. "Listen, big guy. I have a plan—"
"Sir!!!" Jarvis's voice interrupted Tony.
"Three thousand meters above you, I've found Mr. Chen's presence!" Jarvis's voice seemed a little excited. Tony looked up, and the HUD inside his armor instantly magnified the dark figure high in the sky.
"This kid…" Tony's voice trembled slightly. "Where did he go to play…"
Chen Tian, in the air, first opened his eyes from freefall. "Emm? In the air?"
He quickly turned around and saw the entire sky consumed by black, a giant black tornado constantly expanding, and the London Eye in the distance, teetering.
Chen Tian turned his head and smiled. The familiar armor, Tony, it seemed he was back.
Chen Tian shifted his gaze to the rampant black tornado, faint red lines entwined within the black wind.
A smile tugged at the corner of Chen Tian's mouth. He lightly snapped his fingers, and the space around him suddenly twisted, two figures appearing out of thin air.
Vergil placed one hand on the hilt of Yamato. "Is the place we appeared this time in the air?"
"Woah, big nephew, the place we crossed over to this time is quite unique!" Dante spun exaggeratedly in the air, his red trench coat fluttering in the airflow. He suddenly realized he was in freefall. "Hey, there are a lot of ugly monsters down there!"
Chen Tian and the two others were descending very fast, but his speaking speed was even faster. "Vergil, cut the tornado."
"Leave it to me." Vergil assumed a drawing-sword stance in mid-air.
"Dante, deal with the 'ugly monsters' on the ground."
"Hey, I'm in charge of entertainment? No problem!" He simultaneously pulled out Ivory and Ebony, performing a flashy gun spin.
The smile on Chen Tian's lips deepened. He felt the whistling wind as he fell, his right hand firmly gripping the hilt of the Rebellion behind his back.
With a crisp mechanical whir, the engine inside the blade roared to life, and crimson energy flowed along the edge.
"Ex!"
Beside him, Vergil's body seemed to be separated from space. His silver hair remained perfectly still in the strong wind. His right hand rested on the hilt of Yamato, a blue light flashing in his eyes.
"Dimensional Slash - Absolute."
In an instant, countless ghostly blue sword lights, like lightning tearing through space, wove into a net over the black tornado.
Each sword light precisely severed the flow of the Aether Particle's energy. Those crimson threads shattered like fragile ice before the Dimension Slash. The entire tornado disintegrated under Vergil's attack, emitting deafening explosive sounds.
"This is impossible!" Malekith stood in the center of the dissipating tornado, watching in horror as his greatest reliance was easily dismantled, his white pupils contracting violently.
At the same time, Dante slammed into the battlefield with a perfect superhero landing. The Cursed Warrior beneath his feet was instantly flattened into a meat patty, and the surrounding ground cracked radially.
"Show time!" Dante grinned, performing a graceful gun flourish with his dual pistols. Ivory and Ebony fired simultaneously, bullets precisely piercing the foreheads of three Dark Elves. He backflipped to dodge an incoming energy blast, switching to Rebellion in mid-air, its blade tracing a graceful arc, cutting two enemies in half.
Chen Tian swooped down from high altitude, the Scarlet Queen's engine roaring deafeningly, the crimson energy on the blade dragging a dazzling tail flame through the air. His figure was like a burning meteor, streaking across London's gloomy sky.
"Exceed Maximum!"
Chen Tian roared, and the Scarlet Queen's engine power instantly broke through its limits, the blade erupting with scorching white plasma flames.
Malekith had just recovered from the shock of Vergil shattering the tornado when he looked up and saw this devastating scene. His pupils suddenly constricted, and he instinctively raised his hands, attempting to mobilize the remaining Aether Particle energy for defense. Crimson energy formed a twisted barrier in front of him.
But it was too late.
Chen Tian's blade had already descended.
The next second, the Scarlet Queen completely tore through the barrier. The blade, carrying unparalleled kinetic and thermal energy, cleaved down from the top of Malekith's head, cutting through his body like a hot knife through butter, and then continued downwards, slicing into the massive Dark Elf mothership behind him.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Malekith looked down in disbelief, seeing a thin red line appear in the center of his body. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but it was already too late.
Chen Tian landed steadily, kneeling on one knee to absorb the Impact, the tip of the Scarlet Queen's blade deeply embedded in the ground. Behind him, Malekith's body slowly separated along that red line, the two halves falling to either side. Simultaneously, the Dark Elf mothership also began to disintegrate along the severed crack.
First, a brief silence.
Then—
"Boom!!!"
An earth-shattering explosion engulfed the entire battlefield. Malekith's remains were annihilated in the blast, and the Dark Elf mothership transformed into a giant fireball, flames soaring skyward, forming a hideous mushroom cloud.
"Swish!"
A ghostly blue blade of light sliced through space, neatly dividing the explosion's fire like cutting a cake.
Vergil had appeared in the center of the battlefield at some point, Yamato just sheathed. The violent flames and Impact from the battleship's explosion were forcibly confined within a spherical Dimension Slash cage, like a storm trapped in a bottle.
"Boom—"
The explosion, compressed to its limit, echoed dully within the Dimension Slash cage, eventually dissipating into a wisp of smoke. Throughout the entire process, not even a speck of dust escaped the boundaries Vergil had set.
Chen Tian slowly stood up, pulling the Scarlet Queen from the ground. The plasma flames on the blade gradually extinguished.
The corner of Chen Tian's mouth curved slightly upward as he looked at Vergil: "Thanks, Vergil."
Vergil indifferently glanced at the still smoking wreckage: "Control your strength, child. Your destructive urges are becoming more and more like Dante's."
"Hey! I heard that!" Dante poked his head out from a pile of Dark Elf corpses, his red trench coat stained with suspicious black liquid. "What do you mean 'like me'? I'm clearly very elegant, okay?" He said, casually pulling out Ebony, and without looking, fired three shots behind him. Three Dark Elves attempting a sneak attack fell to the ground. "See, how precise."
Chen Tian stood in the center of the ruins, his gaze sweeping over the scattered Dark Elf remnants fleeing in all directions.
The Dark Elf warriors were now like stray dogs, frantically fleeing in all directions. He sighed softly, gripping the hilt of the Scarlet Queen tighter.
"Time to resolve things here." Chen Tian turned his head to look at Vergil.
Vergil nodded slightly, his right hand resting on the hilt of Yamato: "Quickly."
Chen Tian snapped his fingers again with a crisp sound.
Space rippled like water, and two familiar figures appeared out of thin air.
"Whoosh—" A dark figure landed first, and Uchiha Madara's Sharingan slowly rotated.
He looked around, a proud arc forming at the corner of his mouth: "Master, are these small fries… to be eliminated?"
Immediately after, a silver-white figure landed lightly.
Under 2B's black blindfold, tactical goggles quickly scanned the battlefield environment.
She gripped her katana with both hands and calmly reported: "Battlefield environment scan complete, hostile targets confirmed."
"Yo, Madara!" Dante appeared out of nowhere and slung an arm around Madara's shoulder.
"When are you going to pay me back the money you lost to me in cards last time?"
Madara disdainfully slapped Dante's hand away: "Shut up, Dante.
You cheated that time."
Vergil interjected coldly: "You two idiots can reminisce later."
2B walked up to Chen Tian: "Master, give the order."
"Madara, 2B," Chen Tian interrupted their greetings and gave a concise order, "Eliminate the enemy."
Madara snorted coldly, his hands rapidly forming seals: "Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Towering flames instantly swept across the entire street, incinerating dozens of Dark Elves.
2B flashed into the enemy crowd, her katana drawing a deadly silver light through the air.
"Three on the left," she murmured to herself, her body instinctively reacting—her right leg as an axis, a 180-degree spin, and the katana swept out with the force of the rotation.
The blade precisely sliced across the necks of three Dark Elves, and three lines of blood spurted out almost simultaneously.
Vergil snorted coldly, and the moment Yamato was unsheathed, dozens of Dimension Slash erupted simultaneously.
The Dark Elves attempting to flee didn't even have time to scream before being neatly cut into pieces.
Dante stood to the side, Rebellion resting on his shoulder, casually whistling: "Hey, hey, leave some for me!"
Chen Tian looked at the scattered and fleeing Dark Elves remnants.
He held Scarlet Queen in his right hand and drew Azure Rose from the holster on his outer thigh with his left hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three deafening explosions tore through the air, and Azure Rose's muzzle erupted with an eerie purplish-blue light.
The moment the bullets left the barrel, the combination of 'Cursed' and magic bullets unleashed immense power.
Three purple beams shot out, vaporizing Dark Elves soldiers spanning a hundred meters.
"Hey, hey, big nephew, your power is too great, isn't it?" Dante teased while twirling his gun, having just used Ivory to single-shot two enemies.
Chen Tian didn't even turn his head.
Azure Rose spun a beautiful gun flourish in his hand: "Dante, next time I'll let you try it yourself."
He then fired two more shots, destroying the distant flying vehicle.
"Also, if you keep stalling, I'll send you back to the summoning space."
"Hey! You can't do that!" Dante exaggeratedly raised his hands, "I haven't had enough fun yet!"
With that, he suddenly performed a backflip, switching to the Rocket launcher 'Kalina Ann' in mid-air.
A Rocket whizzed out, blowing up an entire squad of retreating Dark Elves.
Vergil stood not far away, watching the two bicker, his brows slightly furrowed under his silver hair: "You two…"
"I know, I know, finish this quickly," Chen Tian interrupted, while his right hand, Scarlet Queen, swung violently, the engine on the blade erupting with a scorching energy wave that sent all enemies in the frontal fan-shaped area flying.
His left hand, Azure Rose, didn't stop, continuously pulling the trigger, each bullet precisely hitting a group of enemies.
Seeing this, Dante was not to be outdone.
He forcefully plunged Rebellion into the ground, pulling out Ebony and Ivory simultaneously: "Jackpot!"
A dense hail of bullets poured out like a torrential rain, riddling the last group of stubbornly resisting Dark Elves.
2B landed lightly beside Chen Tian, black blood dripping from her katana: "Master, area cleared."
Madara stood on a pile of corpses, an unfulfilled glint in his Sharingan: "Master, mission complete."
Vergil coldly scanned the battlefield, and after confirming there were no survivors, Yamato 'clanged' back into its sheath: "Cleared."
Chen Tian twirled Azure Rose and reholstered it, and Scarlet Queen also returned steadily to its sheath.
He looked at Tony and Thor, who were rushing over from a distance, a smile appearing on his face.
Tony's armor landed, and the nanometal quickly retracted like a tide back into the reactor on his chest.
He rushed forward in three steps, pulling Chen Tian into a tight hug, the exposed veins on his hands showing how much force he used.
"You bastard kid!" Tony's voice trembled.
He heavily punched Chen Tian's back, "Four years!! Do you know how many satellite images I've searched?
How much does Jarvis have to process every day—"
"Sir, to be precise, it's three years," Jarvis's voice came from Tony's earpiece, "Mr. Chen went missing in 2010."
Tony released his embrace but still held Chen Tian's shoulders tightly.
His eyes were red, and his meticulously trimmed beard on his chin trembled slightly: "What's the difference between three years and four years?
What the hell did you—"
Tony's voice stopped abruptly.
He had only now truly seen Chen Tian's appearance.
Those eyes that always carried a smile now seemed to hide many secrets, his once dark short hair had turned white, and his previously somewhat thin body had now become strong.
"Your… hair?" Tony looked at Chen Tian's hair color, "Why, it turned white?"
Chen Tian touched his hair, "Didn't it also turn white when I used my abilities in Washington District before?
It's just that now my powers have merged, so it's completely white."
With that, he wrapped an arm around Tony's neck, "Did Ancient One send you my message?
Have there been any new 3A blockbusters recently?"
Tony keenly caught the avoidance in Chen Tian's words, and their past interactions immediately made him understand something—some things were not suitable for discussion in front of Thor.
"Ha! 3A blockbusters?" Tony rolled his eyes, his tone instantly switching to his familiar teasing mode, "The gaming world has been utterly boring these past few years you've been gone.
However…"
He changed the subject, his gaze passing over Chen Tian and falling on Vergil and Dante, "These two new friends are quite interesting."
"Vergil," Chen Tian understood and took over the conversation, a smile playing on his lips, "My uncle."
Vergil nodded coolly in greeting.
"Wow, a very cool uncle," Tony whistled, not at all bothered by Vergil's cold demeanor.
He turned to Dante, who was twirling his guns, "So, who is this flamboyant gentleman in the red coat…?"
Dante immediately performed an exaggerated bow upon hearing this: "Dante, pizza connoisseur."
He straightened up and winked at Tony, "I heard you and my big nephew are good friends?
And a big rich guy?
How about treating us to pizza later?"
Tony laughed: "I like this guy!"
He patted Chen Tian's shoulder, "These uncles of yours are much more interesting than you."
Thor strode to Chen Tian's side, and without a word, spread his arms and gave Chen Tian a solid bear hug, lifting Chen Tian completely off the ground.
"Hahaha! My friend!" Thor's hearty laughter made Chen Tian's eardrums ache, "You came at just the right time!
Those cursed Dark Elves finally got their just punishment!"
He heavily patted Chen Tian's back, "I owe you a cup of Asgard's finest mead!"
Chen Tian gave a wry smile from the patting; if he hadn't inherited Nero's power, he probably would have been knocked down.
"Thor… don't mention it…"
Thor released Chen Tian from his embrace and enthusiastically put an arm around Chen Tian's shoulder.
His eyes sparkled with genuine gratitude, "You not only eliminated Malekith but also avenged my mother and Loki.
This kindness, I, Thor Odinsson, will never forget!"
Tony smiled and dissuaded Thor, who still wanted to hug Chen Tian: "Alright, big guy, if you keep being so enthusiastic, this kid won't be able to take it."
He deliberately said in a teasing tone, "To express gratitude, why don't we go for a drink together?"
"Of course!" Thor laughed heartily, raising mjolnir, "I will treat my friends with Asgard's strongest wine!"
He turned to Vergil and Dante, "And these two warriors, as well as Madara and Ms. 2B, your strength is admirable!"
Dante whistled: "Wow, finally someone who appreciates us!"
He winked at Thor, "But more than drinking, I'm looking forward to the pizza Mr. Stark mentioned."
Vergil, meanwhile, crossed his arms and nodded.
"Then it's settled!" Tony clapped his hands, "Jarvis, order more pizza from Grimaldi's and Papa's Tomato Pies!
Have Pepper prepare more drinks, and notify the other Arbitrators to come back.
It looks like Arbitrator Tower is having a party tonight."
"Already arranged, Sir," Jarvis responded, "Ms. Pepper said she can't wait to see Mr. Chen, but Captain Rogers and Mr. Barnes are currently on a mission in the Europe region and have declined the party invitation."
"Whatever, I'm even happier if those two old guys don't come," Tony pouted, then turned to Chen Tian and his group.
"Kid, it's time for us to go home."
Upon hearing this, a warm smile flashed in Chen Tian's eyes.
He looked at Thor, Tony, and his companions beside him.
"Let's go," he said softly, "It's time to go home and see."
Thor laughed heartily, slinging his arms around Chen Tian and Tony's shoulders: "For victory!
For friendship!
We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"
Arbitrators' fighter jets slowly landed not far away, and countless Arbitrators' rescue robots and medical pods descended from the sky, cleaning up the post-battle area.
