Chapter 176: Chapter 175
"Did you all hear what he just said?" Captain America asked.
Tony responded, "It's hard to believe those words came from a thief."
"Stark, I think there might be some misunderstanding here," Hawkeye suggested. "Maybe he had no choice when he took your armor."
"No! Elf Prince," Tony quipped, teasing Hawkeye, "he's just a thief, and he didn't just steal one of my armors—he took two! And they were both my latest designs!" Tony sounded thoroughly frustrated.
Captain America suddenly interrupted, "Focus up! That man has already entered space. I'm about to close the space-time portal. After that, it's time for the counterattack!"
Hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.
"Roger that, Cap!"
...
At that moment.
Chen Ye had passed through the space-time portal and entered outer space.
"Warning! Master, you have entered outer space. There is no oxygen supply in the armor. Please return to Earth's atmosphere as soon as possible," the AI "Tsunade" urgently reminded him.
Hearing Tsunade's warning, Chen Ye smiled faintly and opened his faceplate.
Immediately, intense pressure began to build from within.
Chen Ye felt the blood vessels in his face pulsating. If not for his strong physique, they might have burst!
This was because outer space has no air or pressure, while the pressure inside the human body remains at the level of Earth's atmosphere. The vast difference in pressure between inside and outside can cause the body to expand and ultimately lead to death!
So, generally, even if a regular person could breathe in outer space, they wouldn't survive for long.
Chen Ye wasn't an ordinary person, but even he couldn't survive in space indefinitely.
Outer space is filled with countless deadly dangers—radiation, extreme cold, pressure differences—any one of them could be fatal.
"Master, you are doing something extremely dangerous. Please do not expose yourself directly to outer space. In your current state, you have about ten minutes before it becomes fatal," Tsunade warned again.
Ten minutes?
Chen Ye smiled again, then took out an oxygen mask and put it on.
The oxygen mask was extraordinary; as soon as it touched Chen Ye's face, it adhered tightly without feeling stuffy.
With the mask on, Chen Ye could breathe freely again!
After closing the armor's faceplate, Chen Ye asked, "Tsunade, how's my condition now?"
"Master, the device on your face is remarkable! With it, you can survive until the armor's energy runs out."
Hearing this, Chen Ye glanced at the energy display in the top right corner.
56% energy remaining!
Plenty!
Chen Ye then turned his gaze forward.
Ahead of him were several massive spaceships and an endless army of Chitauri soldiers.
One of the spaceships was colossal, like a floating fortress looming in the depths of space.
The Chitauri army had already spotted Chen Ye, their faces twisted in rage as they charged toward him.
Of course, there's no air in space, so Chen Ye couldn't hear their roars!
Watching the Chitauri swarm like locusts, Chen Ye opened his faceplate again.
His eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light.
His entire aura became overwhelmingly powerful.
It was as if an ancient king had descended.
Buzz!
Conqueror's Haki, activated!
An invisible wave swept through the void, changing the very color of space.
Instantly.
Countless Chitauri soldiers charging at him lost consciousness and fainted.
Many of their aircraft, no longer under control, collided and exploded.
Since space is a vacuum, the explosions were silent and hardly noticeable.
Chen Ye's Conqueror's Haki had now reached the "Mastery" level, far stronger than before.
These ordinary Chitauri grunts couldn't withstand it at all.
Of course, they weren't dead, just knocked out.
A Mastery-level Conqueror's Haki couldn't kill these Chitauri grunts outright.
In the blink of an eye.
In the vast emptiness of space, the only things still moving were the giant creatures!
Only these behemoths were unaffected by the Conqueror's Haki!
Chen Ye was very satisfied with the power of his Conqueror's Haki.
It was incredibly effective for clearing out small fry!
If Chen Ye had to kill all these Chitauri soldiers by hand, it would take him until tomorrow and still not be done.
But now, a single glance solved everything!
With the small fry out of the way, Chen Ye immediately charged toward the massive spaceship.
Behind him, the space-time portal was rapidly closing...
...
At that moment.
Inside the massive spaceship, a figure cloaked in black watched in horror as Chen Ye knocked out his million-strong army with just a look.
Terrified, he hurried to a strange-looking computer and began operating it.
Moments later.
A giant holographic projection appeared above the computer.
The projection showed a Titan sitting on a throne, with human-like facial features, sharp eyes, and an imposing aura.
However, his skin was purple.
His incredibly muscular body was clad in heavy golden armor.
In terms of size, he was easily as large as the Hulk!
Seeing this "man" appear, the cloaked figure immediately knelt down, respectfully calling out, "Master!!"
"Why have you summoned me?" the purple-faced giant asked, his voice deep and ancient.
The cloaked figure seemed extremely fearful of the giant and, with his head bowed, reported, "There's been a problem with the plan… A very powerful human on Earth has closed the portal and is now attacking the Kui Xing II spaceship."
"Oh?"
The purple-faced giant showed a hint of interest.
"Master, what should I do now?"
"Hold your ground. I'll come over."
...
Boom!
The thrusters on Chen Ye's armor burned energy, propelling him rapidly toward the massive spaceship.
The giant creatures were all charging at Chen Ye, trying to intercept him.
However.
Their large bodies were both their advantage and their weakness.
Given Chen Ye's agility, dodging the attacks of these giant creatures was easy.
But these giant creatures seemed to have received some kind of death order—they were determined to stop Chen Ye at all costs.
To prevent him from getting closer to the spaceship, these creatures didn't even care if they collided with each other...
