Chapter 250
In Sokovia.
Wanda was in her office working while chatting with her brother about trivial matters.
When suddenly the door burst open with Circe entering anxiously.
"Wanda, something really big is happening in Madripoor," Circe said with a worried expression.
"A witch who was there sent me a message."
"Ten Celestials are besieging Damian in space, the gods are also attacking Madripoor, and there's an alien army too," Circe said.
"What!?" Wanda said, standing up in surprise.
"It's already on several news channels, mostly footage uploaded by the residents of Madripoor," Circe said, showing the images to Wanda.
"We're going to help," Wanda said seriously, looking at her brother.
"Wanda, wait, the gods and aliens don't worry me, Damian could easily handle them, but we're talking about ten Celestials."
"Damian might be able to hold out for a long time, but I don't see how he could win. Maybe… it's better if we escape," Circe said hesitantly, not knowing how to put it.
"Circe," Wanda said, frowning at her.
"Damian will win, I'm sure of it," Wanda said, looking into Circe's eyes.
"Let's go, Pietro," Wanda said, looking at her brother before creating a crimson portal directly to Madripoor.
In her strong emotion, she didn't realize that she had managed to penetrate Madripoor's barrier.
Circe stood frozen in place, watching Wanda disappear. It wasn't just a little shocking to see the way Wanda spoke and acted, but she also saw the illusory tiara on Wanda's forehead.
It almost seemed like seeing the Scarlet Witch herself with all her power.
"I've become a coward," Circe murmured, smiling ironically.
She doesn't want to hide for who knows how many more thousands of years. This time, she will fight, as she probably should have done so many years ago.
Circe quickly cast a simple spell before communicating with all the witches.
"Everyone, we're going to war. Be careful and don't die. I'll see you in Madripoor," Circe said with a slight smile before flying out of the castle.
A staff appeared in her hand before she murmured a long spell, creating a great protection around the entire country.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Subsequently, Circe quickly created a portal before heading to the battle.
….
Thanos advanced towards the city of Madripoor in his ship.
The first wave of beasts had already been sent, mainly to test the defenses.
He didn't know how much strength Madripoor had left considering it was fighting on two other fronts, and now he was going to open another front.
Suddenly, the ship shook violently, making Thanos frown.
"Sir, the artillery from Madripoor is very strong. I'm afraid we won't reach the palace," said Ebony.
"How far will we get?" asked Thanos.
"A few hundred meters," said Ebony.
"Let the entire army disembark from the ship and attack the palace from different directions," said Thanos.
"Release the rest of the pods, let the beasts run through the city, and force the soldiers to decide whether to protect the palace or the civilians," said Thanos.
The ship shook constantly under Madripoor's artillery and gradually began to lose speed and stability.
"Let's disembark too," said Thanos, seeing that his ship was about to fall.
A beam of energy quickly left Thanos on the ground before he looked around.
The city was full of debris, but to his surprise, almost all the buildings remained intact.
"Let's go quickly," Thanos said to his children, the members of the Black Order.
Before they advanced too far, a rain of energy projectiles fell on them.
From the rooftops of the buildings, several Spartans fired at the group.
"I'll take care of them, move ahead," said Ebony before flying towards the soldiers.
Thanos said nothing and just kept advancing. When they were a few meters from the palace, suddenly there was a strong explosion that sent the entire group flying except for Thanos.
Thanos, who had covered his face, quickly looked up and saw a ship from which more soldiers emerged.
"Take them directly to the queen," said Laura, looking at the pilot.
"Is it safe?" Tony couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, all enemy flying creatures were eliminated by the aerial defenses, and we're already next to the palace," Laura said, reassuring him.
"Be careful," Pepper said, hugging Tony with concern.
"Daddy, defeat the bad guys," said Morgan with a smile, not understanding the seriousness of the matter.
"Sure, honey," Tony said, unable to help but laugh at his daughter's words.
"Let's go, I'll leave the purple one for you since I like you," Laura said, patting Tony on the back and pushing him off the ship.
"If you're worried, ask the queen to show you what's happening," Laura said, smiling at Pepper before jumping off the ship.
As Tony fell, he carefully watched the ship carrying his family and saw that it indeed entered the palace, which reassured him. He quickly looked at his opponents.
"Couldn't you keep bombing?" Tony asked through the communicator.
"The civilians are still inside the buildings, try not to use anything too strong against them," Laura said.
"Sure," Tony said, landing next to Laura in front of Thanos and his group, who had recovered from the explosion.
"You must be Thanos, right?" Laura said.
"I am," Thanos said calmly.
"You must know the consequences of attacking this city," Laura said.
"We'll talk about consequences if your people can survive this," Thanos said, not caring about her words.
"To them," Thanos said to the three remaining members of the Black Order at his side.
His army had spread throughout the city, causing chaos. Their goal of causing confusion and chaos had been achieved, as evidenced by the small number of opponents in front of him.
Thanos slightly twirled his weapon before running towards the palace.
His three adoptive children quickly surpassed him, running with the intention of getting rid of the obstacles.
The Spartans quickly dispersed and started firing while Laura took the lead with Tony following her.
Tony quickly propelled himself into the air before channeling his repulsors against the biggest one.
The big guy's skin quickly burned while he roared in pain and tried to cover himself with his weapon.
The other two children of Thanos, a woman with horns and a spear, and a pale-skinned man with a hood and a halberd, lunged at Laura.
Laura smiled slightly before deftly dodging one's stab, grabbing the spear, and propelling herself forward, kicking the woman in the chest.
As she kicked the woman, Laura quickly ducked, avoiding the halberd slash aimed directly at her neck.
From the ground, Laura took an impulse before launching a knee strike at the alien, who reacted by covering himself with his weapon, but only a loud crack was heard as his weapon split in two.
The alien looked incredulously at the weapon that had been with him for so many years, a hard punch to the cheek quickly brought him back to reality and he began to exchange blows with Laura.
Suddenly, the male alien feinted before lunging at her, trying to grab her.
Her attempt to dodge was thwarted by the woman who had been sent flying. Seeing herself compromised, she quickly activated the repulsors on her suit to shake them off.
Before she could rise a few meters, she was suddenly struck by the purple titan.
Laura, along with the two aliens clinging to her suit, was sent flying into a building.
Thanos quickly took advantage of the moment to run directly towards the palace.
The shots stung his skin, but he ignored them while shielding his eyes with his hand.
The Spartan soldiers tried to engage him in hand-to-hand combat, but they were all easily overpowered.
Thanos advanced towards the palace, not without noticing that none of the soldiers he struck down with his weapon had died; it seemed they hadn't even been injured.
He assumed Asgard was going to have a hard time.
Before Thanos could set foot in the palace, a scarlet portal suddenly opened at the entrance.
Out of the portal came a red-haired woman and a silver-haired man.
Both quickly looked around before focusing on Thanos.
"You don't look like you're from around here," said Pietro, looking at Thanos and joking.
"Who are you?" said Wanda as her magic channeled into her hands.
Thanos wasted no time talking and quickly ran towards the sibling pair.
Pietro saw this and in an instant disappeared from where he was, kicking Thanos hard in the side.
To his surprise, it felt like he had kicked a wall, and Thanos's stride wasn't even disturbed.
Seeing this, Wanda also prepared to attack, firing several crimson energy spheres.
For Thanos, this wasn't the first time-fighting people with such abilities, so he used his weapon to strike the energy spheres.
His weapon could dissipate the energy with some effort as he approached Wanda.
Before Thanos could attack her, Pietro passed by in an instant, carrying her away from Thanos.
Thanos's expression immediately became somewhat annoyed; it would be impossible to catch them, and time was running out.
Suddenly, a terrifying roar was heard. Looking in that direction, a giant lizard was seen walking towards the coalition of armies.
....
Outside the city.
Ophelia remained calm in front of her soldiers. The enemy army had started to charge towards them.
"Open fire," said Ophelia calmly.
The soldiers in the first three rows lined up and quickly opened fire.
Ophelia saw how effective the shots were against the soldiers of both pantheons, although they were certainly resilient, and she could see that the damage wasn't extensive.
Each shot only left a bloody hole in the body, yet it wasn't lethal unless it hit the head, which was unlikely as the soldiers advanced, covering themselves with their shields.
Ophelia wasn't unsettled by this situation. They were the army of gods, and besides their own strength, their armor was surely made of very good materials.
Finally, the army reached a few meters from the Spartans, so Ophelia gave the order to change their formation.
"Charge," said Ophelia to the Spartans.
The Spartans in the first row quickly switched their weapons to melee mode, turning their rifles as if they had bayonets.
Ophelia frowned slightly after the first clash of both armies. She noticed that her Spartans had similar strength to the army of gods.
The only thing in which the Spartans were superior was resilience. No matter what attack they received, the Spartans would stand up and keep fighting.
In the end, she just shook her head. After all, her soldiers could still become stronger.
Her gaze wandered a bit towards the gods who remained at the back. There was almost a tactical agreement not to fight, after all, the resulting attacks from their battles would easily cause friendly fire.
Ophelia wasn't bothered by this situation either. This battlefield was a very good place for her soldiers, with the new recruits, there were many novices, and surely this battle would whip them into shape.
"So boring," said Carol, sighing. She couldn't fight and wasn't even the one in charge of the soldiers.
"Hm," said Hela in agreement.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard in the distance, accompanied by a loud roar.
Ophelia immediately looked in the direction and saw Zilla walking towards them.
Although it seemed to be walking slowly, it was actually moving quite quickly.
"Isn't that your daughter's pet?" said Hela, raising an eyebrow and looking at Ophelia.
"No, it's her friend. I recommend you don't say it's a pet," said Ophelia, pursing her lips.
"She seems a bit angry," said Carol.
"Is it a she?" asked Hela, somewhat surprised.
"That's what Ivy says. It seems to have something to do with being the last of its kind," said Ophelia, shrugging.
Zilla soon reached about a hundred meters from the battlefield. Her eyes quickly saw the soldiers of the gods, but there were also Spartan soldiers mixed in. From her perspective, it looked like a big ball of ants fighting each other.
Seeing that her intervention would only cause friendly fire, she turned to look at the gods who were behind the soldiers.
She didn't know what they were waiting for, but she didn't care.
Her body leaned slightly before she opened her mouth and a colossal beam of energy shot out of her mouth towards the gods.
Given her size, there was no way they wouldn't notice her, so she didn't manage to hit anyone.
She only provoked several gods to approach her while unleashing all kinds of attacks.
"It seems we can finally act," said Carol, focusing on a god floating in the sky, constantly shooting lightning at Zilla.
Carol generated a sonic boom when she appeared in front of the god before hitting him directly in the jaw, sending him flying a few hundred meters before crashing into the ground.
"Damn woman, your punches hurt as much as I remember," said Zeus, standing up and looking at the golden energy glow in front of him.
"That voice, are you Zeus? What happened to you? Is there liposuction for gods?" asked Carol, stunned.
"I just got back in shape," said Zeus as his eyes filled with lightning.
Carol looked closely at Zeus and couldn't make a similarity with the previous one.
Now he was a huge guy, about 2.3 meters tall, his body was full of muscles, and his hair was white. Now he really looked like Zeus and the father of Hercules.
"Can you share your training routine?" asked Carol, mocking while her body filled even more with energy.
She had become stronger since she first fought Zeus, but it seems that Zeus had also gotten stronger.
She hoped this time it would be more interesting.
