Chapter 191: War (2)
In the cosmos.
With Veronica's arrival.
Tony's equipment instantly received a leap in upgrades.
His damaged Battle Armor was enveloped by Veronica, and he himself was plunged into darkness.
Immediately after, Veronica's system lit up.
"Let's go, Jarvis."
At this moment, Veronica, with her six outstretched arms, resembled a demonic god of steel!
He shot forward, all six mechanical arms swinging out simultaneously!
The next second, those arms shot out like missiles with immense propulsion, smashing into the Chitauri Beasts.
Boom!!
While these fists didn't explode like actual missiles, their propulsion was enough to send them flying at several mach speeds. Hitting the Chitauri Beasts at this speed would instantly pierce them.
Of course.
His hands were gone too.
But Tony couldn't care less.
Six arms could take down six Chitauri Beasts.
"Actually, it's eight, because I still have my feet," Tony grinned smugly. The next moment, Veronica instantly transformed into a giant metal ball in space.
Battle Armor worth hundreds of millions, even billions, was treated as disposable by him.
But this wasn't the end.
After completing this battle of discarding armor, Tony immediately activated Veronica's protective barrier and propelled himself towards the moon to escape.
Simultaneously, he was also remotely controlling other Battle Armors with Jarvis's assistance.
These Battle Armors had also been fighting for a long time.
At this moment, their only remaining function was to stall the Chitauri, and when they could no longer fight, to activate their self-destruct sequence, taking as many enemies with them as possible.
"Explode!"
Tony gritted his teeth.
"It's just burning money, I have plenty of money!"
Boom! —
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar.
Inside a giant Chitauri Beast.
Steve had spent considerable effort to reach the entrance of the main control room. Before he could do anything, a violent explosion sounded.
The next moment, the wall in front of him was instantly smashed open by a massive object. Smoke billowed from the torn opening, emitting a purple glow.
The object that smashed through the wall crashed through several more walls before stopping.
It was the Black Panther's son.
"T'Challa."
Steve shouted.
T'Challa, who had fallen, was not seriously injured. Most of the impact had been absorbed by his Vibranium Battle Armor.
He stood up and said in a low voice, "Be careful, Captain..."
"The enemy is not to be trifled with."
As he spoke, heavy footsteps echoed from within the main control room.
The War Lord's figure emerged from the dust, his massive battle axe cleaving through the wall, standing proudly before Steve and T'Challa.
He was nearly three meters tall, with blue-gray skin all over. His ashen cheeks seemed to bear a bone-like mask, but in reality, it was natural.
The War Lord glanced at the two Earthlings standing before him, his eyes filled with disdain.
"With just you two, you think you can stop the Chitauri's advance?"
Steve immediately drew his shield.
He stood ready.
"We aren't stopping anyone's advance, we are simply defending our planet."
"Funny."
The War Lord sneered. Unlike most Chitauri who were intellectually inferior and only needed to be ruled, his intelligence was relatively normal.
He said, "We represent the will of the Cosmos. We are the antibodies of the Cosmos, purging viruses like you."
"Thanos will lead us to flatten everything."
"This is destiny!"
He said arrogantly, "What do you have to resist us with?"
"Willpower!"
Steve said without hesitation.
The next moment, the shield in his hand suddenly smashed towards the War Lord's head.
The battle begins—
Clang!
The War Lord backhanded the shield Steve threw, sending it flying.
Immediately after, he kicked with his right foot, swinging the long-handled battle axe by his side, and then fiercely smashed it down towards Steve.
Thump!!
The ground seemed to tremble.
Steve quickly rolled to the side, dodging the blow.
But he wasn't safe.
The moment the giant battle axe fell, a shockwave erupted from the ground, instantly blasting Steve away.
T'Challa lunged forward, pinning Steve beneath him.
"Thanks."
Captain America let out a breath and, using the magnetic device on his wrist, pulled his shield back.
Facing an enemy like the War Lord, he decided it was better not to let his shield go easily.
"Captain, let's go together."
T'Challa said, then he was the first to charge at the War Lord. He was like a powerful Black Panther, claws extended, attacking the War Lord's right arm.
Steve quickly followed. He used the narrow corridor as a springboard, dodged another attack from the War Lord, and then, with his shield-arm, struck back, smashing towards the opponent's head.
The War Lord took a solid hit.
But it was of no consequence to him.
The shield was sturdy, but Steve's strength was too little.
It was the Black Panther, however.
His claw landed on the War Lord's shoulder armor. The War Lord hadn't even paid attention to his attack until his battle-hardened armor let out a screech, easily torn open by the Black Panther's claws.
Even the War Lord's skin was injured, bleeding a bluish-purple.
He looked at T'Challa in surprise.
But it was only surprise.
No matter how sharp those claws were, they were still just the weapons of a beast.
The War Lord simply shook his shoulder, smashing T'Challa, who was clinging to him, into the wall.
This smash, however, made the War Lord even more perplexed.
He felt like T'Challa was like rubber; no matter how much force he used, it had no effect on him.
Instead, the strength he exerted seemed to be absorbed by something.
If T'Challa's battle suit could store and release the impact force at this moment, he would definitely have made the War Lord suffer.
As for now...
The War Lord grabbed T'Challa by the back of his neck and, like picking up a kitten, threw him away.
Then, he violently swung his battle axe!
Swish!!
The spinning battle axe tore through the air, smashing towards the Black Panther.
However, having noticed something unusual about the Black Panther's battle suit, he didn't attack the Black Panther directly.
The axe deeply embedded itself into the wall, and the angle formed by the head and handle of the axe instantly pinned the Black Panther against the wall, unable to move.
"Ah—"
T'Challa tried to break free, but even enhanced by the Heart-Shaped Herb, he couldn't escape the War Lord's axe.
"T'Challa!"
Captain America wanted to rush over to help, but the War Lord naturally wouldn't give him the chance.
He charged at Steve like a war chariot, throwing a punch!
Clang!!
Captain America raised his shield again to block.
This time, the War Lord finally understood just how sturdy the shield was.
He hadn't expected that punching the shield wouldn't even make Steve Rogers budge, but instead, his own fist would be left throbbing with pain.
It seemed the Earthling really had something.
But…
"Is this what you rely on?"
The War Lord retorted.
Then, without waiting for Steve's reply, he grabbed the edge of Captain America's shield with the fist he had swung out, and twisted it like a steering wheel—
The next moment, the shield in Captain America's hand instantly flew out of his grip and was snatched away by the War Lord.
No matter how sturdy the shield was, the strength of the person holding it was still a factor.
With his shield gone, Captain America was stunned.
Honestly, after fighting for so many years, this was the first time he'd encountered an enemy who would steal his shield.
His previous opponents, even if they caught his thrown shield, would "kindly" throw it back.
But the War Lord was different.
He directly held Captain America's shield in his hand, then raised his foot and kicked hard towards Captain America's chest!
"Captain!"
In less time than it takes to say it, just as the War Lord's attack was about to hit Steve, a red and blue figure rushed out.
Peter had seen the scene from afar and immediately raised his hand. The web shooter on his wrist, adjusted by the Artificial Intelligence Karen to high-pressure mode, shot out webs as fast as bullets!
Swish!
Two webs instantly stuck to the War Lord's body—
Peter pulled hard in mid-air, actually dragging the War Lord, who weighed over a ton, towards himself.
Then he threw a punch directly at the War Lord's head!
Clang!!
The blow landed on Edman and the Gold Shield.
"My fingers are going to break!!"
Peter yelled.
"You should be worried about your neck, bug!"
The War Lord twisted his body in mid-air and then slammed his palm towards Peter, his hand, larger than Peter's head, pressing directly onto Peter's head. The immense force smashed him towards the wall.
Thump!!
A wall instantly shattered.
Peter, having taken the brutal blow, felt as if all his bones were about to fall apart.
After being smashed into the control room, Peter quickly spun webs to create a cushion for himself.
The next moment, he used the elasticity of the webs to charge towards the War Lord again at an even faster speed.
The War Lord was about to swing his fist to smash the flying Spider-Man.
But Peter wouldn't choose to go head-to-head with him.
His body twisted astonishingly in mid-air, his incredible flexibility allowing him to perform movements that even many gymnasts couldn't.
After dodging the War Lord's punch, Peter instantly stuck to him like a spider.
"Want to know how spiders deal with their prey once they've caught them?"
He crawled all over the War Lord, spraying large amounts of webbing onto him.
The War Lord tried to shake him off, but Peter was sometimes on his head, sometimes passing under his crotch.
This made the War Lord unable to find the bug in front of him, and instead, he became tangled and twisted.
Within a few breaths, his body was covered in webs that looked like white frost.
Peter grabbed Captain America's shield, then jumped lightly, landing on the ground.
He said, "Like this."
