Rumble.
A tremor shook all of Sokovia. The ground cracked, rivers burst their banks, and buildings collapsed. The entire city quaked violently.
"F***k… what's happening?"
Steve Rogers, in the middle of battle, looked shocked. From inside the Iron Heart suit, the full scale of Sokovia's chaos was visible.
"This is insane… Allens actually turned the entire city into a spaceship. FRIDAY, show me the thrusters at the bottom of Sokovia."
Tony Stark's face was serious, a hint of shock in his eyes as he quickly activated FRIDAY's scans.
"Boss, preliminary calculations indicate there are 150 million thrusters across Sokovia. All of their energy comes from the Arc Reactor at the city's center. Sokovia is taking off."
The sound of FRIDAY's voice confirmed what everyone had already felt—the tremor beneath their feet, the sense of weightlessness. Sokovia was ascending.
Rumble.
Propelled by millions of thrusters, Sokovia rapidly rose into the air. A protective energy shield enveloped the city entirely.
Peng peng.
Tony Stark frowned, flying toward the edge of the city. At one hundred meters above ground, the energy shield surrounded Sokovia completely. His attacks caused only a faint ripple.
"Boss, the thrusters and central reactor are interconnected. Combined with Vibranium particles, they form an impenetrable shield. We're trapped."
FRIDAY's report darkened Tony's expression. Facing this situation, he felt powerless.
Boom.
Thor swung Mjolnir and launched toward the central church. The hammer crashed down with full force.
But in an instant, Allens appeared. He extended his right hand, catching Mjolnir midair. The lightning coursing through the hammer was absorbed directly into Allens' body.
"Damn it… you actually integrated the Mind Gem."
Thor's face paled. The yellow Mind Gem embedded in Allens' forehead radiated power, forcing Thor to choke back a scream of alarm.
Peng.
Allens raised his left hand. Psychokinetic energy erupted, and Thor was thrown to the ground by an invisible force.
Bending down, Allens picked up Mjolnir effortlessly. He waved it slightly, confirming the hammer was surprisingly easy to handle.
Boom.
He clenched Mjolnir tightly, swung his right arm, and struck Thor. The sheer force sent Thor crashing hundreds of meters away into a building.
"Mjolnir is fine… but not for me."
Allens glared at the hammer. The Mind Gem granted him the strength to lift it, but Odin's enchantments prevented him from channeling its lightning.
Boom.
Casually, Allens tossed Mjolnir to the ground. It created a shallow crater. He stepped out of the temple.
"Duplication."
Allens whispered, and four duplicates separated from his body: No. 1 – Psychokinesis Envoy, No. 2 – Mechanic, No. 3 – Penetrator, No. 4 – Absorber.
"End the Avengers."
Allens' eyes went cold. The four duplicates rose into the air and then dispersed.
Swish.
Mechanic No. 2 raised his hands. A circle of blue light expanded rapidly above them, and inside it, a swarm of Leviathan beasts roared, pouring into the battlefield.
Rumble.
The massive creatures moved with terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Hawkeye and Natasha Romanoff, jaws snapping.
Creak, creak.
Their steel battle suits absorbed some energy, but the Leviathans' strength overwhelmed them. Sparks flew from the suits' Vibranium-titanium alloy plating.
Boom, boom.
The beasts threw Hawkeye and Natasha violently. Their bodies were battered by the unleashed energy weapons on the Leviathans' backs.
Boom, boom, boom.
Nearby buildings crumbled under the barrage, and the Avengers were thrown dozens of meters.
"Cough… cough…"
Protected by their armor, Hawkeye and Natasha were shaken but uninjured.
Da-da-da.
Footsteps approached. Both looked up to see one of Allens' duplicates striding toward them.
Boom, boom, boom.
The duplicates ignored the gunfire. All attacks passed harmlessly through Penetrator No. 3.
Click.
Penetrator No. 3 reached Hawkeye, right arm phasing through the suit and wrapping around his neck.
Crash.
Hawkeye's body felt like water in Penetrator's grip. He was lifted effortlessly, completely helpless.
Bang, bang, bang.
Natasha's suit opened its weapon systems, firing rounds at Penetrator No. 3, but every bullet passed through harmlessly.
Click.
Penetrator's left hand phased through Hawkeye's chest, compressing his heart. In seconds, Hawkeye fell into a deep coma, his body functions collapsing entirely.
"Vulnerable."
No. 3 casually dropped Hawkeye to the ground. Its eyes were cold, merciless.
Hawkeye was now in suspended animation. Timely CPR might have saved him—but Allens didn't care. As No. 3 said, he was vulnerable.
Penetrator No. 3 advanced on Natasha, repeating the same brutal method. Her heart stopped, following Hawkeye into lifeless suspension.
