Chapter 253 The Battle of New York officially begins (Happy Chinese New Year!)
Loki took the initiative to show up, partly because he needed to obtain the metal iridium as a stabilizer to ensure that the portal would not collapse on itself.
On the other hand, it is to use his body as bait to carry out his plan to destroy the Avengers and destroy the helicarrier from within.
But the three Deathblade Generals are not Loki.
Not to mention that they may not need metal iridium, but more importantly, they have no idea that SHIELD has strategic weapons like the Helicarrier.
Loki was able to get information about the Helicarrier because he bewitched Barton with the Mind Scepter.
The three generals of Deathblade obviously didn't know about the existence of the Helicarrier.
Then, their behavior of showing up voluntarily seems very suspicious.
Especially taking the initiative to show up in New York.
After talking to Diana, Russell opened the portal to the Supreme Sanctuary and came to the gate of the Supreme Sanctuary.
He knocked on the door and walked in.
Reception room.
"Is there a problem?"
Gu Yi, who was drinking tea in the reception room, asked calmly when he saw Russell arriving.
"Hmm! I want to know what the upcoming Battle of New York will look like in those stories about my future that you have read about?"
This is not a movie universe, and Russell's "prophet" advantage has been affected to a certain extent.
But it doesn't matter, there is someone here who knows the future development better than him.
Ancient One used the Time Stone to see his future and knew better than him what would happen next.
"It is not a good thing to tell others about the future in advance."
"You should also know what this will cause."
Gu Yi took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and said calmly.
"You don't need to tell me all the developments. I just want to know whether there are any other alien troops participating in the Battle of New York besides the Chitauri army."
Russell continued to ask.
"If you are just asking this, I can tell you clearly that there are indeed other alien forces participating in the Battle of New York."
The expression on Gu Yi's face was as calm as ever.
Although she didn't say much, it was enough for Russell.
"Thank you for informing me, then I won't disturb you."
Russell expressed his gratitude to Gu Yi.
Then, he cast the portal magic and returned to the Zhenglian headquarters from the Supreme Sanctuary.
Zhenglian Headquarters.
living room.
"Any answers?"
As soon as he came out of the portal, Diana, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and asked him.
"It's finally there."
Russell replied somewhat helplessly.
"What's wrong? Is the situation bad?"
Diana continued to ask with a concerned expression on her face.
"Worse than I thought."
Although Gu Yi didn't say much, the answer was already obvious.
Thanos only has three armies in total.
Chitauri, Sakaran mercenaries, and the Vanguard!
Since there are other alien forces participating in the Battle of New York, it is most likely the Vanguard.
Of course, Sakaran mercenaries who have not appeared much in the movie universe may also come to join in the fun.
Although the current development is very different from what he knew, he can roughly guess why Thanos arranged it this way.
Thanos now not only wants to get the space gems, he also plans to implement the "random half alive" plan on Earth.
From a technological point of view, the current earth is undoubtedly a backward planet.
But in terms of population, the earth is much larger than other planets.
As of now, there are nearly seven billion humans on the earth.
Although the earth can still support this population, for Thanos, it doesn't matter whether the earth can still support it.
Importantly, the population on Earth has exceeded what he thought was a reasonable level.
Rather than waiting to solve this problem until the earth can no longer support such a large population, it is better to solve it now.
It has to be solved anyway, there is not much difference between doing it later or earlier.
Thanos' plan is to use the power of six Infinity Stones to wipe out half of the entire population of the universe at once.
He doesn't care whether the population of a certain planet is still within the range that the planet can afford.
To put it simply, it is one size fits all.
Regardless of whether you have more or less, keep half of them randomly.
Although it is a bit simple and crude, Thanos is obviously not a person who cares about these small details.
"How bad is it?"
Diana frowned nicely and continued to ask.
"If we don't get it right, New York may simply disappear!"
Russell said with a serious face.
Although the performance of the Chitauri army and Vanguard in the movie is a bit inferior, the fighting style is similar to that of the medieval army.
But Russell didn't think that the Chitauri army and the Vanguard that could participate in the interstellar war would really be that unbearable.
There are more than one or two planets conquered by Thanos, and many of them have reached the level of interstellar civilization.
In the movie, the Chitauri and the Vanguard were shown to be so inferior. In his opinion, it was more of a pursuit of so-called artistic effects.
Troops that can reach the level of interstellar warfare cannot be so inferior in strength.
After seeing Russell's serious expression now, Diana did not continue to ask.
Not long after, Kara, wearing a Supergirl uniform, came to Zhenglian and saw Russell and Diana, who looked a little serious.
Kara has been busy filming movies recently and has no idea what's going on.
After seeing the confused expression on her face, Diana quickly explained to her.
After listening to Diana's story, Kara couldn't help but widen her eyes.
What's going on here?
Why did we suddenly get into the rhythm of aliens invading the earth?
"The next situation may be very bad. Cara, please protect Peter and Gwen as much as possible."
Although Russell's arrangement was not so superheroic, Kara didn't say anything and nodded solemnly.
"Okay, you contact Peter and Gwen first, and Diana and I will go out and deal with those three guys."
After saying that, Russell opened the portal to Queens.
"Don't worry, leave it to me, I won't let Peter and Gwen get hurt!"
Kara said with a serious face.
The Queen.
After returning to Queens, Russell took the endosymbiosis armor out of the system space and handed it over to No. 3 for control.
At the same time, he sent orders to all the White Zetsu warriors and Grendel.
After doing this, he contacted Tony and Reed, who were looking for the three Deathblade Generals.
"What's the situation now?"
Russell asked Tony.
"Those three guys are as if they are invisible. They look weird, but they can't be found."
Tony complained.
"The other party should have some kind of concealed equipment. What's even more troublesome is that it's not convenient for us to look for them in a big way now."
The voice of Mr. Fantastic Reed also rang out.
"They may be looking for a high-density energy source to activate the Cosmic Cube, and maybe they can start from this aspect."
Russell gave his own advice.
When he didn't know what the three Deathblade Generals were going to do, he could only guess the actions of the three Deathblade Generals based on Loki's performance.
"High-density energy source?"
After hearing Russell's words, Mr. Fantastic Reed asked doubtfully.
"To activate the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, they need to heat the Rubik's Cube to at least 100 million degrees Celsius to meet the theoretical requirements."
Tony continued.
"Oh, damn!"
Tony thought of something.
"You two, I want to go back to Stark Tower."
After saying that, Tony disconnected the call and flew towards Stark Tower at high speed.
When Tony disconnected the call, Mr. Fantastic Reed also had a guess.
Although Reed was not familiar with Tony, he was familiar with some of Tony's inventions.
For example, the Ark Reactor.
Tony is now called the number one person in the clean energy field by major media.
Especially after he started using the Ark Reactor to power Stark Tower.
"I can use Baxter Tower's radar to scan all eligible high-density energy sources within New York."
Fantastic Mr. Reed said quickly.
After finishing speaking, he also ended the call and began to return to the Baxter Building, the headquarters of the Fantastic Four.
Tony and Reed both ended the call, and Russell took off the headphones he was wearing.
Just when he was about to tell Diana about the three Dead Blade Generals, in the direction of Manhattan, to be precise, in the direction of Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty stood, a blue-white energy beam shot into the sky.
This is……
Russell was not the only one who saw this blue-white light pillar, but also Tony and Reed who were returning to Stark Tower and Baxter Tower.
statue of Liberty!
The three generals of the Dead Blade did not choose Stark Tower like Loki, but chose the more symbolic Statue of Liberty.
The blue-white light beam soaring into the sky reached an altitude of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
Then, in the empty sky, a circular portal surrounded by black clouds was opened.
Before the portal was completely formed, Chitauri warriors flew out of the portal one after another on special aircraft like locusts.
The Chitauri army is here!
"Let's go to Liberty Island!"
Looking at the Chitauri warriors pouring out of the portal, Russell said to Diana, who had already put on the armor.
"good!"
Diana replied quickly.
Then, he took the lead and flew towards Liberty Island.
Russell followed closely behind, soaring into the sky like a missile.
While flying towards Liberty Island, he raised his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
Magical dress-up!
Golden light began to emerge, and the casual clothes he was wearing turned into a tailor-made Zhenglian uniform in an instant.
The uniform Russell is wearing now is based on Superman Clark's uniform.
Of course, he directly canceled the red cloak, the S-shaped logo on the chest, and the style that looked like wearing underwear.
When he first asked No. 3 to make himself a Zheng Lian uniform, he asked No. 3 to change the S-shaped logo on the chest of the uniform to JL of Zheng Lian.
But later, when No. 3 produced the first uniform, he changed his mind and canceled the logo directly.
Not only that, he also asked No. 3 to reset the style of the uniform, changing it from a slightly tight-fitting style to something similar to Diana, with some medieval classical warrior feel.
If the uniform wasn't suitable for being made into armor, he even had the idea of letting No. 3 refer to the Saint Cloth.
Although there is a distance between Liberty Island and Queens, this distance is not a problem at all for Russell and Diana who can fly at supersonic speeds.
In less than ten seconds, they arrived over Liberty Island.
On Liberty Island, they saw the three Deathblade Generals and the Cosmic Cube placed on top of the torch, shooting energy beams into the sky.
The Deathblade General held the war blade and stood on the torch.
The black dwarf star and the dark night star Proxima Centauri stand on the square below the base of the Statue of Liberty.
Just as Russell was about to tell Diana that the Deathblade General and Black Dwarf would be left to him to deal with, some strange noises came from the high-altitude portal.
When the Chitauri warriors who acted as the vanguard passed through the portal, four building-like landing ships passed through the portal and struck towards New York like meteorites.
Vanguard's landing ship!
Russell recognized these four landing ships with different shapes at a glance.
After the four Vanguard landing ships came out of the portal, they did not crash directly around Liberty Island, but flew towards Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, which are more suitable for landing operations.
Before Russell and Diana could take action, those locust-like Chitauri flying chariots flew toward them at great speed.
Although these Chitauri warriors don't know who they are, in the eyes of the Chitauri warriors, anyone who is an Earthling is their enemy.
After taking a look at the Vanguard landing ship and the Chitauri flying chariot that were flying away at high speed, Russell said to Diana: "Deal with the landing ship first!"
Although the Cosmic Cube and General Deathblade are on Liberty Island, now is obviously not a good opportunity to deal with them immediately.
Although it is not difficult for Russell and Diana to deal with them, the threat posed by the Pioneer landing ship is obviously higher than the three of them.
As for the Cosmic Cube that is still maintaining the portal.
Just look at the spherical energy barrier around the Cosmic Cube and you will know that this thing will not be solved for a while.
More importantly, when Russell was observing the three Deathblade Generals just now, Russell did not see the Mind Stone Scepter on them.
Without the Mind Gem Scepter, it is not an easy task to break the energy barrier of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Even if it can be broken with brute force, it will still take a lot of time.
"good!"
Diana replied quickly.
Then, holding the Vulcan Sword in his right hand and the divine shield in his left hand, he flew towards one of the landing ships.
As for those locust-like Chitauri warriors, she simply ignored them.
After Diana selected her target, Russell did not hesitate and flew towards the landing ship trying to land in Manhattan.
Although destroying the landing ship may not kill all the vanguards inside, it is still better than letting the landing ship land in Manhattan.
Russell, wearing a dark blue Zhenglian uniform, arrived in front of the landing ship trying to land in Manhattan in the blink of an eye.
He didn't hesitate at all, his eyes were shining with red light.
He is not Captain Marvel, and he has no habit of using himself as a human-shaped missile.
He won't be stingy with long-range attacks when he can use them to defeat his target.
Laser-like red heat rays shot straight towards the Pioneer Guard's landing ship.
boom!
Although the Pioneer Guard's landing ship has fairly good defense, its defense is still a bit too low in the face of Russell's high-temperature heat rays.
As soon as the high-temperature red heat ray touched the landing ship, a violent explosion was triggered on the surface of the landing ship.
The violent explosion changed the landing ship's descent attitude, and orange-red explosion flames began to envelope the landing ship.
Just letting Pioneer's landing ship explode obviously wouldn't satisfy Russell.
The building-like landing ship continued to sway toward Manhattan with black smoke and orange-red flames, and the high-temperature red heat rays began to cut like a laser knife.
