Hearing Tony's words, Steve hurriedly said,"Tony, there are more and more enemies now."
Before Steve could finish, Tony continued,"I've got a nuclear bomb coming in."
"What? A nuclear bomb?" Steve thought he misheard.
Meng Ran, standing nearby, heard Steve and immediately understood the situation. It looked like those foolish government officials had issued yet another reckless order.
"Yes, you heard me right—a nuclear bomb, and it's set to detonate within a minute," Tony said helplessly in response to Steve's shocked exclamation.
He hadn't expected these people could come up with such nonsense. Did none of them value the lives of everyone here?Whether the aliens could neutralize the bomb was uncertain, but one thing was for sure: everyone in the city would be collateral damage.
"I'm going to try to throw the nuclear bomb into that wormhole. Once I get it in, you can shut down the Tesseract," Tony told Steve.
Hearing this, Steve's voice turned grave:"Are you sure about this, Stark? You might not make it back."
Tony didn't reply, but instead instructed J.A.R.V.I.S.:"Use all available energy to stabilize and redirect, J.A.R.V.I.S."
"Understood," came the AI's response.
Meng Ran, listening to the conversation between Steve and Tony, quickly grasped the situation.
He first issued a command to Xiao Bai to establish contact with Stark, and then reached out to Liu Xiu over the communications network.
Meng Ran said to Liu Xiu in a serious tone,"Black Armor, a nuclear bomb is heading this way.
Tony Stark is trying to redirect it toward the spatial gate.
Once he appears in your line of sight, use your power to assist him."
"Understood," Liu Xiu replied decisively.
After finishing the call with Liu Xiu, Meng Ran contacted Tony Stark.
"I've got teammates who can help you get the bomb into the wormhole," he said urgently."When you feel their assistance, let go immediately.
Otherwise, once the spatial gate closes, you won't be able to return from outer space."
Hearing this, Tony exhaled slightly in relief. Now that someone could assist him, the chance of success had greatly increased.
He had already prepared for the worst, ready to make one final call to Pepper.Now that the Phantom said his teammate could help, the likelihood of success had risen significantly.
Although Tony still found the Phantom mysterious, there was a convincing authority in his words.After previous encounters, Tony held a degree of respect and trust for this mysterious, justice-driven Phantom—after all, he had saved Tony's life more than once.
Tony hoisted the nuclear bomb onto his back and took off, flying toward New York City.
On another battlefield, Liu Xiu swung his arms, using his gravity powers to continuously crush Chitauri soldiers and beasts into meat patties.
After killing the last Chitauri soldier nearby, he noticed in the distance the sky where Tony, carrying a nuclear bomb, was flying toward them.
Meng Ran had just warned Liu Xiu, so he had been watching the skies closely.
Seeing Tony in his sightline, flying directly toward him, Liu Xiu immediately soared onto a rooftop and extended a hand, using his ability to influence the flying nuclear bomb.
At this moment, Tony struggled to lift the bomb, directing all remaining energy to the thrusters.
As he arduously altered its trajectory, suddenly a force appeared, lifting the bomb together with him.
With the combined efforts of Liu Xiu and Tony, the bomb's flight path gradually curved upward, heading toward the open spatial gate.
On the ground, members of the Avengers and the Hexagram League watched Tony's actions.
Seeing the bomb being guided into the gate, Meng Ran urgently shouted over the network:"Black Armor, increase your control—make sure the bomb enters the spatial gate!
Tony Stark, once the bomb is safely in the gate, release immediately.
Natasha, as soon as the bomb enters the gate, shut down the Tesseract."
Steve watched the distant sky anxiously. Seeing Meng Ran communicating seamlessly with Tony and Natasha, he asked, somewhat puzzled,"You can talk directly with Tony and Natasha?
Then why didn't you do this earlier?"
Meng Ran replied, slightly embarrassed,"Uh… I thought directly hacking in might be a bit impolite.
It's just that the situation was urgent earlier, so I didn't worry about etiquette."
Steve, hearing this, was speechless. He wasn't sure whether he was more frustrated with the poor communications system or with the Phantom in front of him.
While the two were talking, Tony and Liu Xiu were already approaching the spatial gate with the bomb.
As Tony neared the gate, he slowly released his hold, letting the bomb fly toward the gate on its own.
Even without Tony's direct control, the bomb didn't falter, because Liu Xiu was still fully guiding it upward.
Tony hovered at the gate's threshold, watching as the bomb, trailing flames, sped toward the Chitauri army's base on the other side.
On top of Stark Tower, Natasha thrust the scepter into the Tesseract device.
The scepter pierced the blue barrier protecting the Tesseract and interrupted its energy transmission.
With the Tesseract's energy cut off, the spatial gate began shrinking, disappearing from the sky as if it had never existed.
Tony, hovering in the sky, had just witnessed the bomb obliterate the Chitauri base, the massive fireball even shooting some flames toward him.
Thankfully, Natasha acted in time. The gate had closed before the explosion's fire reached him.
Just as Tony saw the spatial gate close and prepared to descend, J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice came through:"Sir, insufficient power. Thrusters will shut down."
"Oh! S***! Ah~" Tony swore, immediately losing propulsion, and began falling from the sky.
Those on the ground saw him plummeting uncontrollably and, just as they had relaxed, their hearts leapt again.
At that moment, a force acted upon Tony, slowing his fall and gently guiding him toward the ground.
