Chapter 172: Chapter 171
"Brothers, charge! Let's kill them all!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! Kill as many as you can! The great Asura hasn't even made a move yet. Once he does, there won't be any left for us!"
"Damn it! This is my turf! You guys better move somewhere else!"
"Don't fight over it! There are plenty of Chitauri for everyone. The most important thing is to stay safe!"
"Exactly! These aliens might not be that strong individually, but if we get surrounded, we're done for!"
...
Onboard the Helicarrier.
Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was watching the battle unfold through the monitors.
Seeing the performance of these Reincarnators, Fury's expression turned grim.
He felt that this Earth was no longer the one he knew...
So many powerful humans?
"Hill! Why don't I have any information on these people?" Fury asked.
Standing beside him was a sharp-looking female officer—Agent Hill, a Level 9 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
"Sorry, sir, that's our oversight."
Fury responded sternly, "After this battle, if Earth is still in one piece, I want a full report on these people within three days. Understood?"
"Understood!"
...
Manhattan.
In the sky, Loki watched as his Chitauri army was held back by hundreds of Reincarnators, his expression growing dark.
"All units, attack!" Loki ordered coldly.
Immediately.
From the space-time portal, countless Chitauri soldiers swarmed out.
At the same time, giant, reptile-like monsters appeared, rampaging through the skyscrapers.
The monsters were so massive and powerful that the Reincarnators had no way to deal with them.
Only Thor and the Hulk from the Avengers could kill these beasts.
But even they needed to exert considerable effort to bring down a single one.
The tide of battle shifted quickly.
The Chitauri gained the upper hand.
Gradually, the Reincarnators began to suffer casualties.
When they saw their comrades surrounded and killed by the Chitauri, the survivors became much more cautious.
The timid ones stopped showing themselves, planning to wait out the mission.
The braver ones continued to attack the Chitauri, but only through sneak attacks.
In a blink of an eye, three or four hours passed.
As more and more Chitauri invaded, the battlefront expanded across the entire Manhattan district.
The human forces started to retreat.
Although they were barely holding on, the government had no plans to use nuclear weapons yet.
After all, the consequences of deploying nukes were too severe. No one dared to give the order unless absolutely necessary.
...
In a secluded location.
"Whoosh!"
A sound cut through the air.
A figure clad in gold and red armor shot through the void.
It was Chen Ye!
He was practicing his flying skills!
After a few hours of practice, Chen Ye had mastered his balance.
Though his flying techniques weren't particularly advanced, he at least managed to avoid the embarrassing situation of losing balance and crashing.
"Master, energy is running low. Please be aware," the voice of the AI "Tsunade" sounded in Chen Ye's ear.
Chen Ye asked, "Tsunade, how much energy is left?"
"20%!"
"How can I replenish the energy?"
"You can quickly replenish energy by replacing the reactor or by charging it."
"It can be charged?"
"Of course!"
"Great!"
Chen Ye flew to a nearby building.
Inside, a group of people was hiding from the Chitauri. When they saw Chen Ye, they mistook him for Iron Man Tony Stark and immediately looked at him with hope.
"Iron Man, please save us!"
"Mr. Stark, we're your fans! Please don't leave us to die!"
Chen Ye opened his faceplate and smiled, "Take a good look. I'm not your idol!"
The people inside were stunned.
"Just borrowing your electricity!"
With that, Chen Ye ignored them and started charging his armor.
The charging process was slow.
It took a full hour to reach 60% energy!
But it was enough.
Checking the time, five hours had passed since the mission started.
Chen Ye stored away his armor and prepared to join the battle!
...
When Chen Ye arrived at the battlefield, the fight had already reached its peak.
Iron Man Tony was maneuvering around several Chitauri pilots.
To be precise, he was being chased.
There were simply too many Chitauri.
"Boom!"
A burly man wearing a cape and wielding a hammer was summoning lightning from atop a skyscraper, striking down Chitauri.
The attack was powerful.
But in the next moment, he was surrounded by Chitauri.
The Chitauri invaded quickly. Even with Iron Man and Thor desperately holding them off, they couldn't stop the aliens from reaching the ground.
After five long hours of fighting, both the superheroes and the Reincarnators were exhausted, clearly fatigued.
Yet the Chitauri kept coming, with more and more flooding through the space-time portal, swarming Earth like locusts.
At this point, many neighborhoods in New York had been overrun by the Chitauri, killing anyone they encountered.
"Zoom! Zoom!"
The energy weapons on the Chitauri flying craft bombarded the ground, causing explosions.
A single energy blast could easily obliterate a private car.
On the streets, ordinary citizens had no choice but to flee for their lives.
Half of New York had descended into chaos.
...
Amidst the countless fleeing citizens, there was one human walking leisurely toward the battlefield, completely out of place compared to the panic around him.
Finally.
A Chitauri noticed this brazen human.
"Zoom!"
An energy blast was fired at the human.
Boom!
The human made no attempt to dodge and was hit directly by the blast, causing an explosion.
But!!
To everyone's surprise, the Chitauri's powerful energy weapon only managed to tear the man's clothes...
"The Chitauri's energy weapons are mediocre. Their destructive power is slightly stronger than that of rifle bullets, but their penetration is weaker. With my current body, I don't even need to use Haki to take these hits!"
Chen Ye muttered to himself, completely disregarding the Chitauri surrounding him!
