The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapters 137, 167, and 168: Blood Sea Slaughtering Gods! One Man Can Destroy a City!

Selena cleaved a small Chitauri aircraft in two with a single sword strike, then flew through the smoke and flames of the explosion to finally reach the suspended platform of Stark Tower.

But before she could even land on the platform, a long sword came slashing down at her. The sword light tore through the air and emitted a sharp whistling sound, demonstrating the immense power of the strike.

Selena parried with her sword, and amidst the deafening clang of metal clashing, she felt an immense force erupt, causing her sword-wielding hand to go numb for a while. Her body involuntarily plummeted downwards, falling more than ten meters before she regained her footing and took flight again.

This time, she didn't rush directly to the suspended platform. Instead, she hovered a few meters away from the platform, cautiously watching the person who had just stabbed her.

It was a tall woman dressed in leather armor and a sexy short skirt that exposed her thighs, holding a cross sword, her eyes flashing with an eerie, dim yellow light, staring expressionlessly at Selena.

"Queen Maeve?"

Selena certainly recognized this Vought International idol hero; she had even watched the superhero movie starring Queen Maeve and Homelander when she was shopping with Susan.

Upon seeing Queen Maeve blocking their way, Selena's heart sank slightly.
"Could it be that Vought International is colluding with aliens?"

Vought International isn't scary, and Queen Maeve isn't too bad either. Although she has an invulnerable body and super strength, there's still a way to deal with her. With the strength of their "Avengers," subduing Queen Maeve shouldn't be a problem.

But what if the people of our own country also defected to aliens...?

At this moment, Gwen, Emma, ​​Cipher, and Villanelle also rushed onto the suspended platform one after another, and were slightly surprised when they saw Queen Maeve.

Gwen looked around warily as she spoke:
"What's Queen Maeve doing here? Where's Homelander?"

Cypher, riding on his centaur, lit a slender woman's cigarette, squinted at the device behind Queen Maeve that was continuously emitting blue beams of light into the sky, and said softly:
"Where is Homelander hiding? Maybe he's inside the building watching the show? Preparing to make his grand entrance as the final boss?"

Vera stared at the man next to the instrument, dressed in a black armor-like suit and wearing a fully enclosed helmet, and said:

"This guy, all black, doesn't look like someone to mess with either."

The man in black was Xuan Se. He stood silently beside the instrument, looking like a statue, yet exuding a dangerous aura.

"do not care!"

Gwen raised her hand and shot a spider silk towards the instrument:

"Destroy it first!"

puff!
The spider silk shot towards the instrument was caught by Xuanse, who pulled hard, and the enormous force immediately lifted Gwen off the ground, sending her flying towards Xuanse.

Although Gwen is strong, she is too light. It would not be surprising if she were to be thrown away if she lost her footing.

However, when Gwen launched her web, her feet were firmly planted on the platform. The reason she was suddenly pulled away was intentional; she wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the instrument.

Therefore, when Xuanse pulled her away, she had already adjusted her posture in mid-air, preparing to use a double-footed flying kick to overturn the instrument.

However, Xuanse saw through her intention, took a step to the side, blocked the instrument, and clenched his fist, punching Gwen's flying kick.

boom!
With a dull thud, the figure in black swayed, took a step back, and barely managed to regain his footing.

With nowhere to dissipate the force while airborne, Gwent was thrown backward and flew all the way off the platform. She then tumbled in mid-air, raised her hand, shot out a spider web, stuck to the edge of the platform, and swung back again.

At this moment, Selena also charged towards Queen Maeve with her sword, saying:
"Emma and I will deal with Maeve. Gwen and Vera, you two deal with that dark guy. Cipher, find a chance to sabotage the equipment!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out as Selena and Queen Maeve began their battle. Emma, ​​now fused with the Mystic Demon, also joined the fray, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes with her arms and occasionally leaping up to deliver a kick, while the whip on her head seemed poised to poke and stab.

However, Queen Maeve was impervious to blades and bullets, and while she was somewhat wary of Selena's Adamantium Cross Sword, she disregarded Emma's attacks.

With her right hand, she used her longsword to parry Selena's attacks, always being careful not to touch the blade of the adamantium cross sword. With her left hand, she parried Emma's sword-wielding arms and legs with her bare hands, and sometimes she even took Emma's attacks head-on with her body.

Even when Emma tried to stab her eyes with the whip, she simply closed her eyes, her eyelids alone enough to withstand the sharp, three-edged spikes at the tip of the whip.

In Loki's assessment, Queen Maeve can be considered a weaker version of Sif.

As a goddess of Asgard, Sif's strength is truly extraordinary. Although Queen Maeve is not as powerful as Sif, her combat strength is also quite astonishing. Even with Selena and Emma joining forces, they could not defeat her for a while and could only barely keep her occupied.

the other side.

Vera charged toward Xuan Se and engaged him in close combat.

She initially thought this dark-skinned guy was nothing special except for his brute strength, but after exchanging blows, she realized that he was not only incredibly strong and agile, but also had exceptionally refined fighting skills. After only three or five moves, she was already at a disadvantage.

If she didn't now possess super strength, super defense, and powerful vitality, she would probably have had her limbs broken by now, or even had her heart ripped out by the opponent's bare hands.

Fortunately, Gwen, who had swung back to the platform, joined the battle in time, unleashing her Wind and Thunder Leg Technique. Her long, slender, and strong legs delivered a series of windmill-like kicks, and together with Vera, they suppressed the Dark One.

With Maeve and Black entangled, the instrument was temporarily unprotected. Cipher narrowed his eyes, looked at the instrument, and used his telekinesis to create a cone-shaped shockwave, which he then blasted towards the instrument.

hum!
Amidst the deafening roar, the instrument struck by the shockwave remained motionless, only emitting a blue halo, which easily neutralized the telekinetic impact.

Cipher frowned slightly, and with a thought, the silver-white centaur's right arm transformed into a longbow, and with his left hand, he drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and fired a bursting arrow.

After Cypher injected himself with a mind-enhancing potion, the Centaur Mystic's power increased dramatically. Now, the explosive arrows he fires are as powerful as a high-explosive rocket.

Even so, when the exploding arrow struck the instrument and exploded, a blue halo burst forth from the instrument, easily neutralizing the explosive force.

With a solemn expression, Cipher urged his silver-white centaur forward. The centaur demon transformed its right arm into a lance, charged forward on all four hooves, and thrust the lance fiercely at the instrument.

The instrument emitted a ghostly blue halo once more, not only blocking the centaur's lance charge—which was powerful enough to pierce an armored vehicle—without any damage, but also sending the silver-white centaur flying and crashing off the platform.

With a thought, the Centaur Mystic vanished into thin air and returned to her side like the wind, re-manifesting its physical form.

After that, she didn't try to force her way through the equipment again, but only reminded everyone of one thing:
"Be careful!"

As he spoke, the commander, Ma Mimo, knelt down and slammed his left hand onto the platform floor.

The centaur's left hand can turn anything inorganic it touches into explosives. Since forcibly attacking the instrument is ineffective, let's just blow up the entire platform and see if the instrument can still hover in mid-air and continue operating.

As the centaur arcane magic poured energy into it, the entire suspended platform was transformed into explosives.

Cipher flipped onto his horse and was about to detonate the platform when the instrument suddenly hummed again, bursting out a blue halo that swept in all directions.

Then Cypher suddenly realized that the explosive energy infused by the centaur had been completely washed away by the blue aura.

"..."

Seifer's eye twitched slightly, and he remained silent for a long while.

Emma, ​​who was trying her best to pester Maeve, asked:

"Are you saving up some powerful move? Why haven't you used it yet?"

Cipher said helplessly:
"Sorry, it's a failure... This instrument is simply indestructible, and even the platform itself is within its protection range. To destroy the platform, we'd probably have to blow up the entire Stark Tower."

Emma exclaimed:

"Then go ahead and blow it up! It's not our property anyway!"

Cipher said irritably:

"Do you think you can just blow up a skyscraper that's over 300 meters tall? To destroy this building in a short time, you'd need Iriana to cast the spell she just used to destroy the flying behemoth several times in a row. As for me, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

As they spoke, the Silver Warrior mech, along with Death Woman and Guoguo, finally climbed onto the suspended platform and joined the battle without a word.

With these three powerful reinforcements, Maeve and Black were immediately at a complete disadvantage, only able to defend themselves.

Although the instrument guardians are close to defeat, if they cannot destroy the instrument, then all their efforts will be in vain.

Aliens are still pouring out of the time tunnels and spreading in all directions. The entire sky above Manhattan is now filled with small alien spacecraft.

There were now more than ten of those giant flying machines, which were spreading outwards and constantly launching alien soldiers to land on the ground.

The other city heroes, fighting independently, and even the X-Men who came to their aid from Westchester County, were all surrounded by the alien army and could only struggle to hold on, with no ability to break through to the vicinity of Stark Tower.

Even Iriana, who was below the building, had exhausted herself and had to dispel the sword formation, stop providing aerial support, and engage in close combat with the alien soldiers surging towards her from all directions, wielding the Soul Sword.

"How to do?"

The people on the platform were extremely anxious, but they couldn't find any solutions.

"Yes, what should you do in the face of this unsolvable situation?"

Inside the building, Loki, staff in one hand and wine glass in the other, smiled as he looked at the helpless crowd on the platform, his tone dismissive:
"Will you fight to the death, or wisely retreat before the Chitauri army completely surrounds you?"

This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

Fortunately, at this point, Selena and the others don't need to make a choice.

because……

A blood-red cloud appeared in the sky.

The blood-red cloud that had appeared in the sky at some unknown time was spreading rapidly in all directions at a speed that appeared slow but was actually incredibly fast.

Soon, the blood cloud covered almost the entire island of Manhattan, completely obscuring the sky except for the time tunnel.

As the blood cloud spread to the vicinity of Stark Tower and slowly rotated around the time tunnel in the air, Selena and the others on the suspended platform, as well as Loki inside the tower, all noticed this anomaly.

The battle on the platform ceased, and everyone looked up at the sky in astonishment at the blood-red clouds, not understanding what had happened.

Even Loki, who had always maintained an air of complete control, was momentarily taken aback and bewildered, asking in surprise:
"What the hell is that?"

No one knows what that blood cloud is.

No one could see that there were three coffins suspended deep in the blood cloud, with scarlet blood flowing out of the wide-open coffin lids, turning into mist and rolling away.

No one saw that Li Xingzhou, dressed in a blood-red robe and with black hair flowing down his shoulders, was standing on a cloud of blood, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the massive spaceship outside the time tunnel, which resembled a large city.

"There are many more inside the warship..."

He licked his lips.

"Then let's not close the time tunnel for now..."

As they spoke, the blood-red clouds that filled the sky above Manhattan began to press down toward the ground.

In an instant, the entire island of Manhattan, every street, every building, every human, superhero, and alien was submerged in a thick, blood-red fog.

Standing atop the clouds, Li Xingzhou snapped his fingers lightly, his tone cheerful and his expression pleased:
"The Blood Sea Burial God Formation... Begin!"

Snapped!
The crisp snap of fingers, along with the blood-red mist that covered the entire Manhattan Island sky and ground, reached the ears of every living being trapped in the blood mist.

Then, the anomaly began.

Clumps of blood mist began to gather and condense, transforming into hideous blood shadows with bare skin, exposed muscles, and dripping blood.

They existed between reality and illusion, roaring and howling as they pounced on the alien soldiers. Wherever they passed, the alien soldiers lost all their flesh and bones, leaving only a thin layer of skin floating to the ground.

Soon, the alien skins were also engulfed by the blood mist, transforming into new, ferocious blood shadows that roared and howled as they pounced on the other alien soldiers.

Alien soldiers on the ground and in the sky were melted away in droves under the onslaught of the Blood Shadows, only to be transformed into new Blood Shadows and join the Blood Shadow army.

Those once-proud and arrogant giant flying machines were also rapidly disintegrated and collapsed under the onslaught of hordes of blood shadows, leaving only the mechanical components embedded within them, which fell to the ground like rain.

All the humans who witnessed the blood-red shadow devouring the alien soldiers were stunned into silence by this terrifying and efficient slaughter.

Some people, just imagining the scene of the blood-red shadow pounce on them, were immediately terrified, their faces turning deathly pale and trembling with fear.

Yes, right now those blood shadows that are rampaging through the blood mist and slaughtering everyone are only targeting aliens. But what if they change their target and include humans in their attack range as well?

The entire island of Manhattan may be transformed into a dead city in a very short time, devoid of life and filled only with clothes scattered everywhere!

Therefore, this terrifying blood mist and blood shadow, which are clearly killing aliens and saving them, also cause many people to fall into extreme fear.

Greenwich Village, Manhattan Island.

A bald woman who had previously used magic to deal with aliens on the rooftop but now had nothing to do narrowed her eyes and looked around with a solemn expression.

She looked at the blood mist that permeated the entire city, at the hordes of blood shadows rushing back and forth, at the alien army that was melting away in large numbers, and finally, at the blood clouds in the sky that looked like an inverted sea of ​​blood, low and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Her gaze was solemn and sharp, as if she could see through the blood cloud, see the three coffins that were continuously spewing blood, and see the blood-red figure standing on the cloud with his hands behind his back.

The blood-red figure seemed to sense her gaze, lowered its eyes, and met her gaze across the distance.

Then, a graceful and charming smile appeared on his lips. He placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, as if to express his respect for her—she was indeed a respectable master.

For thousands of years, she has been guarding this world. Although she never interferes in minor matters, including today's situation, she has not gone all out. But it is precisely because of her guarding and restraining that those dimensional lords who are capable of destroying the world do not dare to openly descend upon Earth, but only dare to carry out infiltration in the dark.

Such guardians, who have remained steadfast in their beliefs for thousands of years and have completely abandoned their personal lives, deserve Li Xingzhou's respect, even if their paths differ.

Li Xingzhou bowed in respect.

The bald woman seemed to understand his meaning. The wariness and seriousness in her eyes slowly dissipated, and a smile appeared on her lips. At the same time, she nodded slightly, seemingly expressing her approval of his actions today.

Although his power is evil, there is always some kind of mysterious connection between the strong.

She could sense that although he wasn't a good person, and was even as evil as his sea of ​​blood, at least he had no intention of destroying the world.

At times, for certain personal reasons, he would even step forward to protect the Earth.

If they are not world-destroying evildoers, then they deserve recognition.

As for whether he will turn to the path of villainy and use his power to do things like rule the earth and enslave humanity...

She didn't punish any of the many dictators in the world who committed crimes against humanity, did she?

Didn't she also ignore those tyrants in ancient times who would destroy countries and massacre cities, killing hundreds of millions of people, and those rulers who launched world wars that caused the deaths of tens or hundreds of millions of people?

Humans are inevitably destined to fight each other, and even destroy themselves. As the Sorcerer Supreme, her job is simply to keep those world-destroying beings in check, prevent them from harming the present world, and ensure the survival of humanity so that it doesn't become extinct.

On the X-Men's side.

Just moments ago, the X-Men were pinned to the spot and unable to move by attacks from all directions and the air. Now, they huddled together, wary of the blood-red mist that permeated their surroundings and the terrifying blood shadows that appeared and disappeared within it.

Although the appearance of those blood shadows quickly thwarted the aliens' offensive, allowing them to catch their breath, the terror of the blood shadows still made them instinctively wary and even extremely worried.

“If these Blood Shadow monsters attack humans…” Storm Ororo frowned and said softly, “Ordinary people would be almost powerless to resist.”

"Not only are ordinary people powerless against it."

Wolverine took a puff of his cigar and said in a deep voice:
“Even I don’t know how to defend against those blood shadows. They are formed from blood mist, and their essence is the same as blood mist; they don’t have a physical body. My regenerative ability might only allow them to eat for a little longer. Of course, they probably can’t gnaw on my bones, and the same goes for Colossus; those blood shadows don’t seem to be interested in steel.”

“But our physical attacks are useless against them; no matter how strong we are, we can’t hurt them. Perhaps only energy attacks can harm them,” Colossus said in a muffled voice. “If the being that created the blood mist and blood shadows is malicious, he could probably turn the entire Manhattan into a dead city in a single day.”

“Your estimate is too conservative,” Wolverine said calmly. “Those blood shadows can snowball; they can turn all the creatures they devour into their allies. At this rate, Manhattan will become a ghost town within half an hour.”

"This is absolutely terrifying..." The Iceman, participating in such a battle for the first time, shuddered, feeling a chill run through his body: "How can such a terrifying existence exist in the world?"

“Young man, this world is dangerous. Beneath the peaceful surface lurks countless deep-sea sharks and prehistoric crocodiles.” Wolverine said calmly in an old man’s tone, “You have great potential, but you are still very green. You should always have awe for the unknown.”

“I understand.” The Iceman, with his good nature, immediately nodded in acceptance. “Just waiting here, entrusting our lives to the goodwill of others, isn’t a good thing,” Aurora said. “How about I go and scout inside the Blood Cloud?”

"Don't act rashly."

Wolverine shook his head:

"At least the blood mist and blood shadows haven't harmed the innocent yet. My beastly intuition only senses that those blood shadows are extremely dangerous, but I don't sense any malice directed at us. And the fact that so many blood shadows swept past us earlier, wiping out the aliens who were besieging us, without attacking us, is enough to prove that my feeling is correct. So, don't do anything that might cause a misunderstanding. Otherwise, if we anger the big boss who created the blood mist, we might all be wiped out in the blood mist."

Although Blood Shadow couldn't bite through his adamantium bones or eat Colossus, this humanoid steel lump, a terrifying being capable of causing such widespread destruction must have other ways to easily crush him and Colossus.

Wolverine's guess was largely correct.

But he was still wrong about one thing.

The Blood Sea Burial God Formation can even corrupt and corrode a cultivator's magic weapon, turning an infinitely powerful magic weapon into scrap metal. How much more so for Wolverine's skeleton and Colossus's steel body?
The reason why those blood shadows did not corrode the aliens' steel weapons and armor when they destroyed them was simply because even if they corroded the steel, they could not convert it into useful energy. It would be a waste of effort, so they did not do this useless work.

If necessary, the Blood Sea Formation can instantly corrode ordinary steel into rust. Even super metals like Adamantium and Colossus's steel body can only last a little longer.

Above the blood-red clouds.

Feeling the immense life force flowing into the Blood Sea Array and constantly nourishing him, causing his cultivation to rise steadily, Li Xingzhou felt more joyful than ever before.

The Blood Sea Burial God Formation was meant to be used this way: to expand and erode on a large scale, devouring all living beings.

Although Li Xingzhou did not massacre cities and destroy countries in the mortal world after he mastered this formation in his previous life, he stirred up a bloody storm in the cultivation world.

Countless powerful sects with thousands or tens of thousands of years of history, whether righteous or demonic, were swallowed up by the sea of ​​blood. Even their mountain gates and spiritual veins were completely devoured, turning sacred mountains into barren hills and spiritual fields into deserts.

A demon kingdom with a history of ten thousand years and a population of millions was reduced to a wasteland overnight. A dragon race that ruled over the ocean and commanded millions of aquatic creatures was wiped out overnight.

At his peak, his voice was the only one heard in the entire cultivation world.

All cultivators under heaven, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, submit to his overwhelming demonic power.

Li Xingzhou, who was so powerful, was ultimately only able to be punished by God.

In this life, he also disdains targeting mortals.

But they won't be so polite to alien invaders.

Today, he's determined to eat his fill.

To be honest, with his current cultivation level, especially since his true body isn't even here yet, and he's only using his primordial spirit dharma form to activate the Blood Sea Burial God Array, it wouldn't be enough to cover the entire Manhattan Island.

It would be good if it could cover a few blocks.

The reason why such a big scene could be created was entirely due to Ah Zu's strong physique.

Of course, Azu had no magical powers, but he possessed an almost inexhaustible life force.

Li Xingzhou unceremoniously burned Azu's life force, turning it into primordial energy to activate the great formation. Once the formation began to activate and frantically devoured the life force of the Chitauri army, they could sustain their war effort through battle without needing to burn Azu's life force any further.

However, Li Xingzhou was unable to restore Azu's burned life force.

Anyway, Ah Zu is in great health and has a strong vitality, so this deficit shouldn't be a big deal for him.

The life force plundered was used partly to maintain the operation of the Blood Sea Array and partly to be refined by the Blood Sea Demon Lord to enhance the power of this primordial spirit dharma form. The rest was transmitted remotely to the main body, who was still fighting in the mist and advancing towards the secret base where the time-space rift was located, through primordial spirit resonance.

While fighting, I used ancient methods to refine this mountain-like and ocean-like life force. Every minute that my cultivation level increased was equivalent to a whole year of daily practice.

Unfortunately, the Chitauri population was still too small.

The Chitauri who had already flooded into Manhattan Island were wiped out in less than three or four minutes amidst the blood mist. The giant flying machines were also devoured, their flesh and blood completely consumed.

Then countless blood-red shadows surged to the entrance of the spacetime tunnel, rushed into the tunnel, and launched a counterattack against the Chitauri mothership at the other end of the tunnel.

The Chitauri mothership naturally discovered this astonishing change.

Unfortunately, Blood Shadow was too fast, and given the size of that mothership, even in space, it was impossible for it to immediately break free from its stationary state and perform rapid maneuvers.

Before the mothership could even move, countless bloody shadows shot out of the space-time tunnel like a fountain, combining to form a bloody giant hand with its five fingers spread wide, reaching out to grab the giant ship.

The Chitauri mothership was roughly the size of the entire city of New York.

The giant hand, composed of countless ferocious blood shadows, was not enough to grasp the entire mothership, but its enormous five fingers still firmly clamped down on a portion of the hull, further restricting its maneuverability.

Then, the blood shadows on the surface of the giant crimson hand began to seep into the mothership, while countless blood shadows surged into the spacetime tunnel, onto the giant crimson hand, and used it as a bridge to rush into the mothership...

……

"WTF?"

Inside Stark Tower.

Loki stared in disbelief at the crimson cloud that had engulfed the entire city and was now launching a counterattack against the Chitauri Mother Tower by reversing the time tunnel. His smugness at having everything under control had vanished completely.

"That was the Chitauri army I used to conquer New York, North America, and even the whole of Midgard! Such a large army was wiped out by one person?"

Loki felt that he might be trapped in some kind of extremely sophisticated illusion.

Otherwise, how could such an absurd thing happen in the real world?

How could an alien army capable of conquering the entire Midgard be so easily wiped out, with its vanguard wiped out and then pushed back to its mothership?
The mothership had already been captured by the crimson giant hand formed by countless blood shadows, and it was likely to suffer the same fate as the Chitauri army in Manhattan, being devoured by the seemingly endless blood shadows.

“Great Prince of Lies, a small setback means nothing. The Chitauri are nothing but insignificant cannon fodder. Your own strength has not been diminished in the slightest. We still have a chance to turn the tide.”

The reflection on the glass reminded him:
"If you time it right, you can banish the guy who caused all this to the other side of the time tunnel while severing it. The distance between there and Earth is an astronomical distance measured in light-years, which even gods cannot fly back on their own. Once you banish that guy, even if you lose the Chitauri army, you can still build another large army with the Mind Scepter and Vought Corporation's temporary Compound V. And this time, your army will be a super army composed entirely of superhumans."

Loki snapped out of his daze and slowly nodded:
"That's right, I haven't failed yet, I still have a chance to turn the tide..."

As he spoke, his figure blurred, and the next second, he appeared on the suspended platform as if he had flashed into existence.

The battle on the suspended platform had ceased at this point.

Queen Maeve and Black retreated to the instrument, and Selena and the others stopped attacking, remaining on guard while watching the blood-red tide that was attacking the alien mothership.

"I sensed a familiar presence."

Cipher lit a slender women's cigarette and took a small puff:
"It smells like some bastard's younger brother."

Her mental imagery was guided out by Li Xingzhou, and she had a very close spiritual connection with him. Although she could not see Li Xingzhou in the blood cloud, she could still feel a subtle sense of familiarity.

Not only her, but Emma, ​​who also possessed the Mind Imagery Mystic, had similar feelings.

"Don't doubt your feelings."

Iliana then ascended the suspended platform, carrying a sword in one hand and shading herself with the other. Her eyes gleamed with a dazzling blue light as she gazed into the depths of the crimson sea of ​​clouds, seemingly seeing through the sea of ​​blood and witnessing the Blood Sea Demon Lord standing atop the crimson clouds.

"The one who caused this huge scene is that bastard. I knew I wasn't wrong, he really is a great demon. Devouring living beings and assimilating them into blood shadow monsters... the power and evil of this kind of large-scale destructive spell has surpassed all the hell lords I know."

"Uh, are you talking about Li Ang?" Gwen blinked, somewhat incredulous. "The blood clouds in the sky, the blood mist on the ground, and those blood shadow monsters, were they all caused by Li Ang?"

"of course."

Emma looked proud, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her body trembled slightly as she said with an expression of adoration:

"This is the power of our master! He possesses earth-shattering power and bottomless evil. He is the king of slaughter from the deepest part of hell, the master of life and death, and the eternal destination of all souls..."

"As expected of our master!" Guoguo's eyes shone, her cheeks flushed, and she trembled with excitement. "Just feeling his power has already soaked me..."

"..."

Looking at the two perverted girls, Gwen was speechless. She coughed twice and said seriously:
“Li Ang is not some kind of demon king from hell. Although the power he used is somewhat evil, what he did was righteous. He destroyed the aliens who invaded Earth, saved the city, and saved the whole world.”

“Yes, he did save this city and even the whole world.” Iliana shrugged. “But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a great demon… But it doesn’t matter, I’ve already reserved a prison for him in Hell, just waiting for him to go down there.”

Mariko opened the mecha's faceplate and joked:

"So, Liana, the prison you reserved for Li Ang is in your own palace? Are you trying to monopolize Li Ang and eat all the food yourself? We won't allow that."

Just as they were chatting and laughing, an elegant yet arrogant male voice rang out:
"Girls, the time to talk about men is over. Now I'm giving you two choices: death or submission to me."

Selena and the others were then surprised to find that a man with a staff, slicked-back hair, a mid-length trench coat, and a flashy white scarf had appeared on the suspended platform.

"who are you?"

Selena looked warily at the man who had suddenly appeared and asked in a cold voice.

"I am the great Prince of Lies, the God-King of Asgard, the ruler of the Nine Realms, your master, Loki."

Loki spoke arrogantly, glancing around at Selena and the others, and nodded in satisfaction:

"You are all quite good. Compared to the trash of the Vought Corporation, you are far superior and more resilient warriors. I will not hold your previous resistance against me against you. I will generously bestow upon you the honor of serving me. Girls, death or submission, it is time to make a choice."

"..."

The girls looked at each other, speechless at the guy's audacity.

"So, you're the mastermind behind all this?" Gwen looked at Loki with amusement. "Your plot has been thwarted, your alien army has been destroyed, and even your mothership in outer space couldn't escape annihilation..."

She spread her hands: "If I were you, I would be considering surrendering or breaking through to escape by now, but you still dare to be so arrogant and haughty... Have you been blinded by defeat and lost your mind?"

"Yes, I do look like I failed. But..."

Loki looked towards the city.

The blood mist that permeated the entire city, and the blood clouds that hung like an inverted sea of ​​blood, had already surged into the spacetime tunnel, joining the giant blood-red hand to completely envelop the Chitauri mothership.

The sky over Manhattan has cleared up again, and there is no longer any trace of aliens, blood mist, or blood shadows in the city.

Seeing this, Loki's lips curled up slightly, revealing a triumphant smile:

"But what if the man you've been discussing, the one who crushed the Chitauri army and even nearly destroyed the Chitauri mothership, that guy named Leon... he's not coming back? What will you do then?"

He raised his Mind Staff and tapped it on the instrument. The instrument containing the Cosmic Cube immediately stopped operating, and the continuously emitted dark blue beams of light instantly thinned before shrinking back into the Cosmic Cube.

Without the energy support of the Cosmic Cube, the enormous spacetime tunnel in the sky began to shrink rapidly, eventually becoming a tiny dot and disappearing.

"So, I'm the ultimate victor, aren't I?"

Loki smiled smugly:

"Although the Chitauri army is gone, banishing a terrible monster will allow me to subdue you all... I can still conquer New York, and even North America and the whole world, it just will take a little longer."

The time tunnel disappeared, and the alien mothership in space could no longer be seen, nor could the sea of ​​blood and mist that had surged around the mothership and enveloped it.

Although they didn't believe Li Xingzhou would be so easily exiled, Selena and the others were still filled with extreme anger.

Guoguo immediately lunged forward, her short dagger aimed fiercely at Loki's eye:

"You pretentious false god, die!"

Loki did not dodge, letting the Fruit Dagger pierce his eye, but the Fruit Dagger only struck an illusion.

Then Guoguo felt a sharp pain in her lower back, as a thin dagger pierced her lower back and emerged from her abdomen.

"Blasphemy is a serious crime, young lady."

Loki spoke calmly, drew his rapier, and twirled it. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind and thunder, as Gwen delivered a whip kick to his cheek.

Gwen's kick was incredibly fast, her calf almost becoming a blur, but Loki remained calm and composed, raising his hand to block it. With a loud bang, amidst the surging air, he actually managed to steadily catch Gwen's kick, which was powerful enough to knock a tank over.

Before Gwen could change her move, he grabbed her ankle and threw her off the suspended platform.

"Although I prefer using magic, I am still a giant..."

At this moment, Selena and Mariko attacked from both sides.

Selena's cross-shaped sword crackled with lightning as she stabbed Loki in the abdomen. Mariko's Adamantine katana unleashed a nine-slash attack, the Flying Sword Style's ultimate move, "Nine-Headed Dragon Flash," enveloping Loki's upper body.

Loki remained calm and composed, his figure vanishing like a bubble. Then, as if suddenly appearing from the void, the slender sword pierced through Selena's side, between her ribs, and through her heart.

Like Guoguo, who had been stabbed in the abdomen, Selena immediately knelt down and coughed up blood.

Although neither of their injuries were fatal, the dark and eerie energy contained in the rapier was rapidly eroding their strength, making them grow weak quickly.

Loki then appeared behind the Silver Warrior mech like a ghost, wielding his rapier like a whip and striking the mech's back with a loud clang, knocking the massive, heavy mech to the ground with a single blow.

Death Woman, Emma, ​​Cypher, Vera, and Iriana all joined the attack. Mariko also got up to fight again, and Gwen used her webs to swing back to the platform. But Loki calmly moved through the crowd's attacks. Occasionally, when he was hit, his body would dissipate like bubbles, and then his elusive rapier would reappear from nowhere, easily knocking down a person with a casual strike.

Even a self-healing individual like Death Woman was struck by his sword and collapsed, coughing up blood as it rapidly drained from her body, rendering her unable to fight.

Afterwards, Cypher, Vera, and Emma also fell to the ground after being stabbed, leaving only the strongest Iriana, Gwen with her spider sense that allowed her to dodge rapier attacks in time, and Mariko whose mech was not afraid of rapiers, who were still able to fight Loki to a standstill.

Loki's swordsmanship didn't seem very skillful; he just kept making simple straight thrusts.

However, his movements and footwork were too strange, and combined with the indistinguishable illusions, as well as the slender rapier in his hand that seemed to be able to pierce through the void and appear and disappear unpredictably, his originally unremarkable swordsmanship became difficult to resist.

"Submit to me, this is your only way to survive."

As Loki spoke leisurely, his figure, struck by Iriana's Soul Sword, vanished like bubbles once more. At the same time, a rapier appeared from Iriana's side and back, stabbing towards her lower back.

At this point, Loki had already shut down the Tesseract. Without the Tesseract's interference with spacetime energy, Iriana was able to activate teleportation here.

She teleported away to dodge the vicious sword strike, but the tip of the sword still grazed her lower back, leaving a bloody gash. A cold and eerie energy seeped into the gash, causing her elemental energy and stamina to rapidly deplete.

Iriana staggered, gritted her teeth to steady herself, held her sword with both hands, and stared intently at Loki.

Gwen, Mariko, and Iriana formed a triangle, surrounding Loki in the middle.

But they also knew that this encirclement was completely ineffective against Loki, who was unpredictable and elusive.

Loki twirled his sword, then spoke in that elegant yet arrogant tone:

“I have already shown you mercy and given you a chance. If you still refuse to kneel and submit to me, then... I will have no choice but to forcibly twist your minds.”

"Is that so?" Iliana's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and a hint of a smile even appeared in her eyes: "Are you sure you won?"

"Isn't it..."

Before Loki could finish his sentence, a hand landed on his shoulder, followed by a male voice behind him:

“I’ve been watching for a while now. Loki, the only reason you were able to defeat them is because I saw that you didn’t intend to kill them yet. So I allowed you to give them a little challenge, to let them realize the gap between themselves and true powerhouses. Do you understand?”

Loki was horrified!
