Stark Tower.
Thor wielded Mjolnir, while Loki brandished the Mind Scepter. The two clashed fiercely, their battle occasionally sending debris crashing down from the surrounding buildings.
Meanwhile, as Tony fought his difficult battle, a female voice came through his communicator.
"Stark, we're on your right."
A fighter jet approached from the distance, piloted by none other than Captain America and the others.
Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but quip, "Did you take a bullock cart? You're too slow!"
After his remark, he continued, "Head to Park Avenue; I'll lead these guys over there."
With a swarm of Chitauri ships in pursuit, Tony flew full speed toward Park Avenue.
Thanks to their combined efforts, several Chitauri were taken down.
"Sir, more are coming," Jarvis warned.
Sure enough, just as they eliminated some, more Chitauri appeared.
As Tony began to feel overwhelmed, he noticed that the jet carrying Captain America and the others was struck on the wing by Loki's scepter as it neared him.
Fortunately, under Hawkeye's skillful control, the jet landed safely, allowing Tony to breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as they exited the jet, Captain America and the others noticed the space portal in the sky becoming active again.
A swarm of Chitauri pilots descended, accompanied by a massive, whale-like iron warship.
The warship's menacing appearance left Captain America and the others in shock, overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.
How are we supposed to fight this? This colossal warship was far beyond anything humanly possible to combat.
As the warship flew, Chitauri soldiers began jumping from it, wreaking havoc on the human population below.
"Stark, do you see this?" Captain America called Iron Man.
"I see it, but I still can't believe it," Tony responded, equally incredulous.
As he spoke, he thought of the Hulk, "Where's Banner? Is he here yet?"
"Let me know the moment he arrives!"
With that, Tony flew toward the warship, observing its destructive path through the city's buildings. He instructed Jarvis, "Jarvis, find its weak spot!"
While Tony searched for the warship's weak point, the battle between Loki and Thor was reaching its conclusion.
"Look at this, look around you!" Thor said as he restrained Loki, gesturing for him to observe the destruction.
Loki glanced around and saw the fires of war spreading through the city, with buildings engulfed in flames.
"Do you think this will end with your rule?" Thor asked angrily.
Loki, shaken by the brutality of the war, felt a pang of fear as Thor's words sank in.
Although he had these thoughts, when Thor confronted him, Loki retorted, "It's too late; it's too late to stop it!"
As he spoke, he looked again at the burning New York City, lost in thought.
"No, we can stop it together!" Thor pleaded, trying to persuade him.
Loki turned back to stare at Thor. After a few seconds, defiance filled his heart. The more Thor spoke like this, the more Loki wanted to oppose him, unwilling to admit he was wrong.
In the next moment, Loki pulled out a spiked weapon and swiftly stabbed Thor in the side.
Thor, weakened, released Loki and crouched to the ground, clutching his abdomen.
Loki, his expression cold, mocked, "Sentimental fool."
But before Loki could react, Thor unexpectedly rose and punched him. Caught off guard, Loki was quickly overpowered, even losing the Mind Scepter as he fell to the ground.
Without sparing a thought for the scepter, Loki rolled off Stark Tower and landed precisely on a Chitauri craft.
Thor could only watch as Loki made his escape.
Meanwhile, after some analysis, Tony launched his attack on the warship.
He fired a barrage of small missiles, perfectly striking the warship.
Although it didn't cause much damage, it did grab the warship's attention.
"Alright, got its attention."
"What's the next move?"
As Tony flew ahead, he tried firing laser blasts and other attacks at the warship, but none of them did more than scratch the surface.
Seeing this, Tony felt a deep sense of helplessness.
In the distance, Captain America and the others watched as his efforts failed.
Who could take down this thing? Besides the Hulk, who wasn't here, who could possibly deal with this?
As they stood in despair, unsure of what to do, Syd, hidden in a nearby corner, also noticed the rapidly approaching warship.
Given his proximity to Stark Tower, it was inevitable that the warship would likely come into contact with him if left unchecked.
"Troublesome…"
Syd immediately felt annoyed.
Why does this warship have to head in my direction?
Feeling frustrated, he decided not to tolerate it any longer.
In the next second, as Tony, Captain America, and the others felt helpless and unsure of what to do, the sunlight within a kilometer suddenly dimmed!
Like a bolt of lightning, a golden beam, no thicker than a pinky finger, appeared!
The warship, along with the Chitauri controlling it and those rampaging aboard, was caught off guard.
Under the stunned gazes of Captain America, the passersby, and the Chitauri, the golden beam swiftly sliced through the center of the warship.
Like cutting through fish, the golden light flashed, and the warship was split in two right before everyone's eyes!
Boom! The warship froze mid-air, split in half, and plummeted toward the ground.
As it fell, the sharp-eyed Captain America, Hawkeye, and others noticed that the center of the warship had melted into molten metal.
Clearly, this warship had been cut by an incredibly high-temperature beam.
"What just happened?"
Tony and the others were stunned.
The thing they had found so daunting, so difficult to deal with, was suddenly gone?
What was that? As they stood there in shock, the Chitauri, who had witnessed the scene, were equally astonished and furious, unable to believe what had just happened.
"Who did that?"
"It's impossible! Just a mere human!"
Could an Earthling have done this?
Impossible!
Even they would need considerable time to destroy the warship, let alone humans with their primitive technology.
They simply couldn't believe that an Earthling could have done this.
Captain America, the passersby, and the Chitauri waited for a while but didn't see anyone reveal themselves.
So how did it happen, and who did it? Who could do something like this? At this moment, their hearts were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
