Chapter 240: Asgard's Army Lands (First Update)
Chapter 240: Asgard's Army Lands (First Update)
After releasing the enhanced version of the Dragonfire Spell, Jerry casually deployed twelve robot soldiers in stealth mode.
The sneak attack from the Black Dwarf Star went unnoticed by Jerry, who was focused on Ebony Throat below. However, the twelve stealthed robots behind Jerry saw everything clearly.
It was the sixth robot, wielding a pair of Golden Drum Maces, and the seventh robot, holding Dual Flails, who had just sent the Black Dwarf Star flying backward.
"Really persistent, aren't you?"
Looking down at the Steel Mudflow spreading out, with Ebony Throat completely unharmed, Jerry couldn't help but sigh.
The damage from the ten Fire Dragons was still significant. Even the Steel Mudflow that built Stark Tower was riddled with large holes from the Fire Dragons' bombardment.
However, while defending, Ebony Throat continuously drew steel and concrete from Stark Tower and nearby buildings to replenish, which meant that Jerry's ten Fire Dragons ultimately failed to breach the defenses.
"Earth's mage, you have thoroughly enraged me!"
With a look of fury, Ebony Throat raised the Mind Staff and ascended to the same height as Jerry.
The Chitauri Soldiers, who were continuously pouring in through the wormhole in the sky, did not launch a widespread attack as they did in the original story. Instead, they all gathered behind Ebony Throat.
Clearly, the commander of this invasion was none other than Ebony Throat.
All Chitauri Soldiers were under Ebony Throat's command.
"We need to find a way to shut down the Cosmic Cube or directly destroy the Chitauri's flagship on the other side of the wormhole!"
Jerry remembered from Avengers One that obtaining the Mind Staff would allow him to use its power to dispel the protective energy field around the Cosmic Cube, thus closing the wormhole.
However, the Mind Staff was currently in Ebony Throat's possession, and Jerry needed to defeat Ebony Throat to retrieve it.
Alternatively, destroying the flagship on the other side of the wormhole would also work, as the Chitauri's lives seemed to be linked to their flagship.
If their flagship were destroyed, all Chitauri Soldiers, including the massive, whale-like biomechanical creatures, would die instantly.
"J, looks like we have quite a few enemies!"
Just as Jerry was considering whether to unleash his ultimate move, Thor, with his red cape and hammer, arrived on the scene.
"There are a lot, and they keep coming!"
Ultimately, he decided to hold back for a moment.
Initially, he planned to attack Ebony Throat directly to stop him before he opened the portal, which would end the potential battle and likely earn him a large number of red stars.
But now that the portal was fully open, other considerations came into play.
Especially since the Chitauri Soldiers weren't immediately attacking, the delay would give nearby civilians more time to evacuate the area with the help of the police.
However, this would mean facing even more enemies later.
But that was fine; it would allow for a more concentrated and decisive resolution.
"Asgardian!"
Ebony Throat, who was about to give the order for a full assault, saw Thor holding Mjolnir and his face changed instantly.
"Unknown alien forces, you are invading Midgard, one of the Nine Realms. I, Thor, command you to leave immediately with your army, or I will consider this an act of aggression against Asgard!"
Thor, holding Mjolnir, sternly rebuked Ebony Throat, his usual lighthearted demeanor replaced by a serious and commanding presence.
"Thor! Thor!"
Ebony Throat's eyes narrowed. How could he not know Thor, the Asgardian who had lived for one thousand five hundred years?
"I am Ebony Throat, Son of Thanos. Is Asgard truly going to wage war with Thanos' Army over a mere Earth?"
"It is you who provoked the war, and we of Asgard do not fear it!"
Thor's Mjolnir crackled with lightning, making him look somewhat dashing at that moment.
"No wonder the Asgardians all like Thor; it seems there is a good reason for it."
Jerry observed the scene and inwardly sighed.
While Thor usually acted a bit silly around him, when it came time to stand up, he could definitely rise to the occasion.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed from below where the Cosmic Cube was located, followed by a steel figure being hurled through the air.
Jerry recognized it as Iron Man, Tony.
"Oh, alright, I didn't expect there to be a protective energy shield!"
Tony activated the boosters on his suit, stabilized himself, and flew over to Jerry and Thor.
It turned out that after Tony arrived, he didn't charge in like Thor did. Instead, he circled around and carefully infiltrated the interior of Stark Tower to get close to the alien machine connected to the Cosmic Cube.
He intended to shut down the Cosmic Cube to prevent more soldiers from pouring through.
Unfortunately, the machine was already covered by the power of the Cosmic Cube. Tony's attacks not only failed to destroy it but also sent him flying back by the Cube's energy.
"We need to find a way to take out Ebony Throat. I think the staff in his hand might be able to shut down that machine!"
At this moment, Jerry whispered the solution.
"Then let's do it. Otherwise, their numbers will keep increasing!"
Thor raised his hammer, ready to unleash a lightning bolt.
"Don't be rash. We need to buy time; the civilians are still evacuating!"
Jerry quickly grabbed Thor's red cape and pulled him back.
"Reinforcements are here!"
At that moment, Tony received a signal from Black Widow and informed Jerry.
Jerry turned and saw that indeed, over a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjets and hundreds of ordinary fighter jets from nearby military bases were flying in from the distance.
"Such a backward planet!"
Seeing the approaching Earth fighter jets, Ebony Throat couldn't help but sneer.
Compared to the tens of thousands of Chitauri soldiers and spacecraft behind him, the number and quality of the Earth support were woefully inadequate.
"Asgardians, and that sorcerer, you two alone cannot stop us!"
In Ebony Throat's eyes, only the powerful magic-wielder Jerry and the Asgardian Thor were worthy of a bit of caution.
"For the glory of Asgard!"
As Ebony Throat spoke, a beam of multicolored light descended from the sky. Over a thousand Asgardian warriors, clad in Asgardian armor and led by the Warriors Three and Lady Sif, arrived on their distinctive golden ships, appearing behind Thor.
"Tony, what's going on?"
In the lead Quinjet, Black Widow, Captain America, Dr. Banner, and Hawkeye were momentarily blinded by the sudden appearance of the golden ships.
"It's Thor's Asgardian warriors coming to support us!"
Tony's voice came over the intercom in the plane.
