Chapter 73:
I must say, the magic barrier of the New York Sanctum is quite effective. Although the Chitauri soldiers asionally manage to break in, it wasn''t until Fang Mo left the Sanctum that he realized the stark contrast between the inside and outside.
Inside the barrier, it was still rtively quiet, but outside, chaos hadpletely taken over. Chitauri aircraft were causing destruction everywhere, especially to the cars on the sides of the roads. Almost none of them were intact, and various buildings were on fire, billowing smoke. Deafening explosions could be heard from all directions, and everything seemed to be inplete disarray.
Fang Mo couldn''t be bothered with these minions and flew straight towards the Stark Tower. However, as he approached the portal, more and more Chitauri soldiers gathered around, and soon the enemies noticed him andunched an attack.
Fang Mo casually threw the Hellish Cleaver. The thick and heavy de spun through the air like a door, cutting all Chitauri aircraft in its path into two segments. Then it flew back into Fang Mo''s hand, and the next second, arge amount of fire erupted in mid-air.
However, Fang Mo''s attack seemed to attract even more Chitauri soldiers. Soon, countless aircraft began to converge towards him, and even several Leviathan warships followed suit.
"Is this it?" Seeing the Chitauri soldiers swarming like locusts in front of him, Fang Mo simply raised a hand.
Just as the Chitauri soldiers lifted their guns, they were suddenly pulled forcefully towards a certain spot in the air and squeezed together. The pulling force was so strong that not only the Chitauri soldiers in mid-air but also anything within its range of gravity, such as arge number of building debris, wrecked cars, streetmps, asphalt roads, soil, ss, and even the Leviathan warships, all started uncontrobly flying towards the sky.
Finally, Fang Mo clenched his palm in the air, and a burst of gravity erupted. Blood began to stter madly, and in mid-air, a huge solid sphereposed of flesh, metal, and debris appeared.
After dealing with the nearby enemies, Fang Mo released the gravity and continued flying forward. The enormous sphere lost its gravity and crashed to the ground, causing a tremendous tremor that shook half of New York.
I must admit that the Void Ring''s crowd control ability is indeed excellent. After dealing with arge number of Chitauri soldiers, Fang Mo encountered little resistance and quickly flew to the vicinity of the Stark Tower.
At this moment, the portal in mid-air was still continuously spewing out enemies. One aircraft flew towards Fang Mo''s position, but before it couldunch an attack, it was suddenly hit by a beam, causing it to explode. Immediately after, a figure in gold and red flew into Fang Mo''s line of sight.
"Have you finished carving the magic circle?" Tony Stark continued to attack other aircraft while asking Fang Mo.
"Although I don''t know what you''re talking about," Fang Mo shrugged and casually used gravity to crush a few approaching enemies. "But I''ve already taken care of my end."
"Can you start doing the real work now? I''m almost at my limit," Stark replied.
After dealing with the wave of enemies, Stark pointed to his chest with his finger and said, "I''ve only made one of these new reactors. I only have 5% of the total energy left. If I keep fighting, I''ll have to join Captain and take down the aliens barehanded."
"Why don''t you go join him now and, ideally, in the middle of the fight, give an evil smile and voluntarily tear Captain''s shirt in half to reveal his muscr physique inside," Fang Mo said with a mischievous smile.
Upon hearing this, Fang Mo chuckled in a perverse manner. "Everyone loves that."
"Who would enjoy such a bizarre thing!" Stark couldn''t help but exim. "We''re facing a global crisis now. Can''t you take it seriously...?"
Boom!
Before Tony Stark could finish his sentence, a nearby building suddenly made a loud noise, followed by a Leviathan warship emerging from it. The building quickly copsed behind the warship.
"Damn Whale creature..." Stark immediately wanted to rush over and attack the Leviathan.
But before he could activate his armor, Fang Mo had already teleported in front of the Leviathan. The Leviathan also noticed the sudden appearance of the small creature in front of it and instinctively opened its mouth, swallowing Fang Mo whole.
However, the next second, the repulsive field was activated. The Leviathan let out a scream, and its entire body rapidly swelled, turning into a huge ball. With a loud bang, it exploded into a bloody shower, scattering soldiers, chunks of flesh, and viscera all around.
The surrounding outer walls of buildings were instantly covered with a thickyer of blue-purple slime, dripping slowly.
"Ugh..." Stark almost vomited when he saw this scene.
In a sh of darkness, Fang Mo had returned to Stark''s side, remarkably clean without any suspicious fluids on him.
"Do you have any spare earphones?" Fang Mo looked at the nearby portal and turned to Stark. "Can you lend me one?"
"I connect directly to the channel with my helmet," Stark shook his head and asked, "What do you want to say to the others? As long as it''s not some weird nonsense or gibberish, I can ry the message for you."
Initially, Fang Mo didn''t have anything in mind, but upon hearing the word "gibberish," he suddenly felt a surge of excitement.
"Hello, everyone. I''m Michael Jordan ..." Fang Mo immediately said.
"What?" Stark, who was confused, was taken aback. However, before he could say anything, Fang Mo suddenly raised his hand, and the ground beneath them started to shake.
Countless soil, rocks, debris, cars, and even corpses floated up slowly and molded into a huge solid sphere not far away. With a wave of Fang Mo''s hand, the enormous stone sphere floated toward the portal in mid-air,pletely blocking it.
"What''s this?" The Avengers fighting below were stunned by this scene.
Captain America saw the stone sphere in mid-air and couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately spoke into his earpiece, "Tony, it seems you were right. Fang Mo has indeed given us a big surprise."
"He calls this thing a ''basketball.''"
Soon, a helpless voice came through the earpiece, "I have to admit, I don''t like basketball, but his dunking move was quite cool... By the way, he asked me to help ask you all if anyone has seen Neb."
"I saw Neb," Barton''s voice quickly came through. "She just flew past me on a spacecraft. Looks like she''s injured."
"Copy that," Stark responded, then turned to Fang Mo and said, "Neb is with Hawkeye."
"Okay, I''ll go directly and deal with her." Fang Mo rested the Hellish Cleaver on his shoulder and waved to Stark, "Let''s go, lead the way."
Stark didn''t say anything, jets of me erupted from his feet, and he flew forward.
Soon, the two of them found Neb. She had been severely pped by the Hulk earlier and almost had her body twisted into a pretzel.
However, even so, she still tightly gripped the Mind Stone Scepter, continuouslymanding the Chitauri soldiers and urging them to attack.
But as soon as Fang Mo saw her, the oue was already determined.
"Bansh Ten''in (Universal Pull)" Fang Mo raised his hand, and Neb, sitting on a spacecraft in the distance, suddenly felt a terrifying suction force. She uncontrobly flew towards a certain direction.
Neb''sbat instincts were much stronger than Loki''s. Even in mid-air, she quickly adjusted her angle and thrust the Mind Stone Scepter towards Fang Mo''s chest, seemingly intending to use the attraction tounch a counterattack against Fang Mo.
However, when it came tobat, Fang Mo didn''t think he was inferior to anyone.
Just as Neb was about to touch Fang Mo, darkness shed, and Fang Mo had already teleported behind her. The Hellish Cleaver directly severed her arm, and then Fang Mo seized the Mind Stone Scepter, which still had half of Neb''s arm attached to it.
As for Neb, after losing the source of gravity, she fell straight down.
"Alright, another one taken care of."
After obtaining the Mind Stone Scepter, Fang Mo broke off Neb''s severed hand and casually threw it away. Then, he looked directly at the nearby Stark Tower and said, "Only one left."
"You go ahead, I only have three percent of energy left."
Seeing Fang Mo swiftly deal with Neb, Stark also breathed a sigh of relief. "Natasha just found Doctor Erik Selvig. He said that the Scepter and the Tesseract are sources of the same energy and can be used to close the teleportation device."
"Close the portal?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Mo instinctively looked up at the portal in mid-air.
At this moment, the portal had been securely blocked by the stone sphere, and it was clear that the Chitauri soldiers on the other side were attacking the sphere. Surprisingly, it was working well as the sphere was continuously absorbing new material to repair itself. Although it was much smaller than the real Chibaku Tensei, it couldn''t be easily shattered by a group of Chitauri foot soldiers. It had to be said that gravity maniption was truly a divine-level ability. It was no wonder Nagato, a good child, suddenly became obsessed with it and started calling himself a god after obtaining the Rinnegan.
"How do we close it?"
Stark didn''t know what Fang Mo was thinking and immediately said, "The aliens around us are still wreaking havoc, and we''re already reaching our limit. Although your magic is powerful, it must also consume stamina, right? If you can''t hold on for much longer, you can grab burgers on the side."
"What about the nuclear missile?"
Fang Mo asked.
"What?" Stark was momentarily stunned. "Nuclear missile? What nuclear missile?"
But in the next second, hismunicator suddenly heard the voice of Nick Fury, "Stark, can you hear me?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Nick Fury''s voice, Stark immediately had a bad feeling.
"Tell Fang Mo for me."
Nick Fury''s voice sounded somewhat exhausted, but his words made Stark suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, "I intercepted three nuclear missiles for him. He doesn''t need to use that Tengai Shinsei (Madara Drop the Meteor) thing in Washington, D.C...."
"What''s wrong?"
Fang Mo also noticed Stark''s expression and asked directly, "Did Nick talk to you? How many minutes until the nuclear missile arrives?"
"Nick said he intercepted three nuclear missiles for you." Stark''s expression at this moment was somewhatplicated.
