Chapter 238: War Approaches (Second Update)
Chapter 238: War Approaches (Second Update)
Given the formidable power of the two Aliens, even if they are located, sending in regular combat units would be a futile effort.
Especially if they appear in a city, it would be even more troublesome, as many high-power weapons would be unusable.
Just like the Abomination that appeared at Grayborn Academy, if it weren't for the help of Hulk and the Witch, General Ross's elite forces would have been powerless.
Among the two Aliens, one is the Black Dwarf Star, whose strength is on par with the Abomination, and the other is Ebonythroat, who can control everything with his mind.
This is why he urgently summoned the Witch and the others.
Because only they can take down the two Aliens without harming others.
"Take me to the lab, we need to develop the tracking algorithm as soon as possible to find them faster!"
Dr. Banner stood up voluntarily.
"Sir, we have a situation, look!"
At that moment, Agent Hill rushed into the command meeting room with a tablet.
Nick Fury took the tablet and, upon seeing the image, his pupils dilated. He then turned the tablet around:
"Dr. Banner, it looks like you don't need to go to the lab anymore, because we've found them!"
"That's my Stark Tower!"
Seeing the live feed on the tablet, Tony shouted in shock.
The video showed the rooftop of the Stark Tower, the tallest building in New York.
On the rooftop, the two Aliens were using a special alien device to harness the power of the Cosmic Cube.
"Turn the mothership around and head to the center of New York. Notify the local police to evacuate all civilians near Stark Tower. The war is about to begin!"
Nick Fury gave the order to Agent Hill with a grave tone.
Let's go back three days.
At the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Ebonythroat watched as Nick Fury and his team drove away, and waved to stop the Black Dwarf Star, who was about to give chase.
"Just a bunch of under-evolved monkeys. Don't waste time on them; it could draw the attention of the Gem Guardians!"
In the universe, humans from C-53 are notoriously weak, rated as zero threat.
If Earth weren't within the Nine Realms, protected by the powerful Asgardians, and if it didn't have the renowned Gem Guardians, including the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, it would have been conquered long ago by other cosmic forces.
So, Ebonythroat didn't pay much attention to the fleeing Earthlings.
This time, Thanos sent him with the Mind Staff to Earth primarily to retrieve the Spatial Gem, establish a temporary base, and gauge the reactions of Odin and the Ancient One.
The Asgardians are indeed powerful, but their numbers are small, making them no match for Thanos's vast army. Thanos's main concern is Odin.
However, given the Asgardians' lifespan, Odin is nearing the end of his life. Most of his power is used to seal away his daughter, Hela, and it's uncertain how much strength he has left.
After this test, Thanos should have a clearer idea.
As for the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, the guardian of the Time Gem, they understand her situation.
As long as they don't show any intention to acquire the Time Gem or destroy the entire Earth, according to her principles, she might not intervene.
Moreover, their mission isn't to conquer Earth immediately, but to send a large force to occupy one or two cities and gradually expand their control.
Once Thanos masters the Spatial Gem and the Mind Gem, finds the Power Gem, obtains the Soul Gem, and creates the gauntlet, only then will he truly come to conquer Earth, defeat the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, and take the final Time Gem.
"Where are we going now!"
Dwarfstar asked in a gruff voice.
Ebonythroat waved a hand, and the floor beneath them carried the two of them flying into the distance:
"First, we need to build the machine to control the Spatial Gem, and then find an Earth city to open a portal and bring in the Chitauri army!"
"New York again? Truly a city of misfortune!"
Seeing the location where the two aliens opened the portal in the video, Jerry couldn't help but pause. It was the same place Loki had chosen: the rooftop of Stark Tower in New York.
But upon closer thought, it made sense.
After all, the S.H.I.E.L.D. base where they were studying the Spatial Gem was not far from New York, and the rooftop of Stark Tower was currently the highest point in all of New York.
Two proud aliens, wanting to open a portal, would naturally choose a high place to showcase their status.
"This carrier is too slow, I'll go ahead!"
Jerry, sitting in his seat, bid everyone farewell and instantly vanished, leaving behind a sound similar to a firecracker in his seat.<|im_end|>
At the carrier's speed, by the time they reached the skies above New York, the city would likely be half-destroyed by the Chitauri army.
Although this place was some distance from New York, using the Phantom Shift twice would get him there.
"There he is!"
Dr. Banner pointed at the tablet in Fury's hand, exclaiming in surprise.
On the tablet, Jerry's figure appeared behind the two aliens on the rooftop of Stark Tower.
"He's mastered new magic!"
Nick Fury, looking at Jerry's figure on the tablet, couldn't help but be amazed.
"I'll go help too!"
Thor pushed open the window of the briefing room, ignoring the strong wind, swung his hammer, and flew out of the window.
Tony immediately got up and ran out of the briefing room:
"I'll go put on my suit!"
Black Widow firmly closed the window Thor had opened and said to Hawkeye and Captain America with a helpless smile:
"We'll go to the deck and take the Quinjet."
"What about me?"
Dr. Banner stood up, a bit at a loss.
Nick Fury turned to look at Dr. Banner:
"Are you sure you can fight? If not, you can stay on the carrier until the war is over!"
Dr. Banner sighed:
"Take me with you. This is a war for Earth's survival, and Hulk can help."
Although Banner didn't want to unleash Hulk, fearing that Hulk might hurt civilians, this was a moment of Earth's survival. If the alien army invaded, countless civilians would be killed.
"Then we need to hurry!"
Captain America stood up and led everyone out of the briefing room.
"Sir, what do we do now?"
Agent Hill, returning, asked Fury for instructions.
Fury, looking at the massive blue energy column rising on the tablet, issued an order to Hill:
"Deploy all the fighters on the carrier for support, activate the emergency combat plan, and eliminate all alien forces entering Earth. I want them to know that Earth is not to be trifled with."
"Yes, sir!"
Hill turned and left.
