The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapters 138, 169, and 170: I want all of Loki's artifacts and divine power!
In fact, Loki's idea of ​​closing the time tunnel and exiling Li Xingzhou to a distance of N light-years is largely correct.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Li Xingzhou's reaction speed and movement speed.

When Loki cut off the power supply to the Tesseract, the time tunnel did not close instantly, but rather went through a process of "contraction and closure".

Of course, this process is very short, and most superhumans would not be able to react if they were inside the Chitauri mothership.

However, Li Xingzhou is currently using Azu's body.

Even within the atmosphere, Ah Zu can easily fly at several times the speed of sound; in the space of outer space, where there is no air resistance, he will only fly even faster.

Therefore, upon noticing that the spacetime tunnel was rapidly shrinking, Li Xingzhou evacuated from the Chitauri mothership within a second and then returned to Earth through the spacetime tunnel.

In fact, even if he were exiled light-years away, it wouldn't be a big deal.

He still has at least two backup plans.

First, there's Iriana. He can use himself as a reference point to provide Iriana with a spacetime marker and summon her to teleport. Iriana's teleportation has no distance limit; as long as she's given the coordinates, she can teleport to anywhere outside the Milky Way.

Secondly, there is the Mustard Seed Space. Li Dizhou can jump into his own Mustard Seed Space, use it as a transit point, and then jump out from Mariko's Mustard Seed Ring.

Even if all his backup plans fail and he is indeed exiled, it's still not a big deal—his true self is still in the Misty Zone of Maine.

With a fixed location, the "Blood Sea Demon Lord's" primordial spirit can instantly return to its original form at any time through primordial spirit resonance. At most, it would just leave Azu's body in some unknown distance of space.

The reason for withdrawing immediately was simply because we couldn't bear to part with Ah Zu's powerful and useful body, and to prevent any accidents.

now.

Loki's hair stood on end, his muscles tensed, and a chill ran down his spine.

He couldn't believe that with his current strength, someone could silently sneak up behind him and place their hand on his shoulder without him noticing.

This is not the most terrible.

The most terrifying thing was that when he tried to activate the "Illusion" ability, a core domain ability of the divine office, to turn his body into a phantom and escape from the other party's grasp, he found that his ability was actually suppressed!

Furthermore, a cold and eerie energy surged into his shoulder, like a bottomless abyss maw that never knew when to stop devouring his divine power and even his life force!
"How can this be?"

Loki screamed inwardly, then suddenly swung his sword backhand, aiming at the person behind him.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Meve, Black, what are you two standing there for? Kill him!"

His sword strike naturally missed its mark.

Queen Maeve and Black, as puppets controlled by the Mind Scepter, are indeed somewhat inflexible and lack the ability to proactively adapt.

Only after Loki gave the order did the two guarding the Tesseract rush towards Li Xingzhou.

Just as Li Xingzhou dodged Loki's rapier, Maeve's fist came crashing down on his head. Without turning his head or even sidestepping, Li Xingzhou delivered a "Dragon Tail Swing" kick backward.

Azu unleashed his superhuman strength and speed to the fullest extent, kicking Maeve in the abdomen when her fist was still inches away from the back of his head.

With a deafening roar, Maeve was thrown backward like a softball hit by a bat, flying several blocks at near-sound speed, her whereabouts unknown.

At the same time, Li Xingzhou raised his hand and grabbed Xuan Se's heavy punch. He then swung his fist with force, sending Xuan Se flying more than a thousand meters away, his whereabouts unknown.

Having easily dealt with two cannon fodder, Li Xingzhou looked at Loki, whose expression had drastically changed, and asked with great interest:
"Your illusion abilities are incredibly powerful. I've been observing you for quite some time before I've even begun to understand them. Can you tell me exactly how you do it?"

The reason he was able to suppress Loki's illusionary abilities was that he had already come into contact with and analyzed part of these illusionary abilities when Vought International released the illusionary dream that trapped the seeds of inner demons.

Having previously observed Loki's battle with Selena and the others, I gained a deeper understanding of his elusive movements and illusions.

In addition, Li Xingzhou was a grandmaster in the fields of nightmares and illusions. He also gained a surge in cultivation by absorbing a massive number of Chitauri people, and his primordial spirit recovered a bit. His divine sense and perception were further enhanced, which enabled him to break through Loki's illusions.

Even so, he still felt that Loki's illusion abilities were quite ingenious and had much to offer.

In particular, the ability to use illusions as "stand-ins" to withstand attacks, while the real Loki appears in the void when the illusions are destroyed, feels like he has touched the level of "laws" and manipulated the power of the laws. This is not something Loki should be capable of.

The original Loki wasn't this agile, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by the Hulk and suffered a "Hellish Elysium Fall".

Loki stared intently at Li Xingzhou, his expression grave, the arrogance from before gone from his eyes.

Who exactly are you?

"I am Li Ang, a superhero for fun," Li Xingzhou said patiently. "You still haven't answered my question. Who gave you such powerful illusion abilities?"

"You want to know? Don't worry, I'll let you know, but only after you die..."

Loki snorted coldly, his figure suddenly becoming ethereal. At the same time, behind Li Xingzhou, the thin spikes, like venomous snakes, shot out from the void, aiming directly at Li Xingzhou's lower back.

Loki hadn't given up yet. Although this man was very strong, single-handedly annihilating the entire Chitauri army and even capturing the Chitauri mothership, Loki felt that he had been too arrogant, which was why he was caught off guard. As long as he put away his arrogance and got serious, this strange guy named Leon wouldn't be a match for him.

however……

Loki's seemingly inevitable sword strike was deflected by Li Xingzhou's flick of his finger, which sent the sword tip flying with a soft "ding."

Loki's expression changed slightly, and he flashed to Li Xingzhou's side, his rapier stabbing towards his temple with lightning speed.

Li Xingzhou remained calm and composed, flicking his fingers to deflect the rapier.

Loki's figure then flickered around Li Xingzhou several times, and in an instant, seven or eight Loki illusions appeared, surrounding Li Xingzhou from all sides, with seven or eight identical rapiers stabbing at his different vital points.

Li Xingzhou immediately saw through the mystery of the illusions around him—all the illusions were fake, yet they were also real.

No matter which rapier he tries to block, the moment it makes contact, that rapier will instantly turn into an illusion, while one of the other rapiers will become real.

Such powerful illusionary abilities made Li Xingzhou nod in admiration. He then made a hand seal, and a hazy, water-like spiritual light burst forth from his fingertips.

Under the cleansing light, the other illusions around Li Xingzhou instantly collapsed, leaving only the illusion directly opposite him, which transformed into the real Loki.

This technique was precisely the incomplete divine power related to the principle of cause and effect that Li Xingzhou had obtained in his previous life.

Li Xingzhou made a "choice," deciding that the positive illusion was real and the other illusions were false; this was the "cause."

Other illusions crumbled because of his choices and decisions, leaving only the positive Loki as reality; this is the "effect".

Even a fragmented understanding of the causal path is enough to break Loki's extremely powerful illusion spell.

Then, Li Xingzhou leisurely raised his hand, gently pinching the tip of the sword that was thrusting towards him between his two fingers.

Although he only used two fingers, the immense strength of Azu's body prevented Loki from pushing the sword tip forward even a fraction of an inch, despite bending the blade.

Loki's expression changed slightly. He suddenly twisted the sword, trying to cut off Li Xingzhou's finger, but even after twisting the sword into a spiral shape, Li Xingzhou's finger remained motionless.

"He can clamp my divine sword with just two fingers and withstand my full power... It's one thing for this guy to have powerful magic, but why is his strength so great as well?"

Loki felt a chill run down his spine, gritted his teeth and abandoned his sword. At the same time, a Mind Staff appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he swung it down hard on Li Xingzhou's head.

Li Xingzhou casually parried the staff with a clang, the immense recoil causing Loki's hands to go numb and his finger bones to ache. For a moment, Loki couldn't hold onto the staff, and Li Xingzhou grabbed it and snatched it away!
After seizing the Mind Staff, Li Xingzhou tossed the staff and rapier into his spatial storage, then smiled slightly at Loki, who was now empty-handed.
"Any other amazing artifacts? Show them off."

Loki was furious. He never expected that in just two exchanges, he would lose both his staff and his divine sword.

This result was unacceptable to him, but it also brought him back to his senses. He realized that this man was far beyond his ability to defeat. Without saying a word, he flashed to the side of the instrument, grabbed the Cosmic Cube, and was about to leave.

Just as Loki got his hands on the Tesseract, he felt a tightness around his neck. Li Xingzhou had appeared before him like a shadow, his right hand gripping Loki's neck like an iron clamp, lifting him high, while his left hand snatched the Tesseract from his hand.

Since illusion abilities are ineffective against Li Xingzhou, Loki's direct strength can only be crushed by Li Xingzhou, who is wearing the "Homelander" armor.

"Loki, the Prince of Lies, the King of Gods?"

Li Xingzhou, holding Loki in one hand and tossing the Tesseract in the other, said leisurely:
"A bit weak. Do you think Odin would start a war with me if I just strangled you like this?"

Seeing Loki's expression change drastically, Li Xingzhou chuckled again:
“Just kidding. I’m friends with Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three. We fought alongside them against the Destroyer you sent to Earth. While Sif would probably love for you to die, Thor probably wouldn’t want to see his brother’s corpse. Most importantly, whatever your reasons were, you didn’t kill any of my people, so… of course I’ll show you mercy.”

As for the Chitauri army summoned by Loki, which caused tens of thousands of casualties among New York City residents...

The Blood Sea Demon, heartbroken by the tragic deaths of the American people, vowed revenge and slew Loki. Isn't this a cosmic joke?
Furthermore, according to the great spirit of freedom, although those citizens died, they at least retained their freedom and were not enslaved by Loki and the aliens until their deaths, which is truly commendable.

I feel like they should invite a big Hollywood star to stand in front of the ruins and corpses, give a grand speech, and celebrate...

The damage Loki caused to the city's buildings could actually be considered a good thing—New York's infrastructure hasn't been updated in years, so now there's a perfectly legitimate reason to upgrade it, isn't there?
Furthermore, the reconstruction funds will be covered by Asgard, so the capitalists won't need to contribute, nor will the municipal government need to increase taxes or allocate funds. Think of how much money the reconstruction investment can leverage, how many jobs it can create, and how many people it can support!

However, Li Xingzhou could spare Loki's life, but he still greatly admired Loki's power.

So Li Xingzhou held Loki in one hand and activated the Heavenly Demon Four Eclipses, frantically eroding and devouring Loki's divine power.

Given his previous level of cultivation, it would have been very difficult for him to absorb a large amount of Loki's divine power.

But today, after activating the Blood Sea Formation and refining so many Chitauri, even destroying the mothership, his cultivation level has skyrocketed, allowing him to easily absorb Loki's divine power.

The divine power absorbed every second is equivalent to the small amount of Thor's divine power that he painstakingly obtained back then.

Loki was being held aloft by the neck by Li Xingzhou, and his face should have gradually turned red and purple. However, due to the rapid loss of his divine power, Loki's face became increasingly pale.

Just as Li Xingzhou was enjoying the food more and more, a stone fragment suddenly fell from Loki's body.

It was a grayish-white fragment. Although it had some strange runes that looked like natural patterns, it had neither spiritual light nor energy fluctuations, so it was not unusual.

But Li Xingzhou's gaze was inexplicably drawn to it. He stared intently at the fragment, his eyes following it until it fell to the ground with a soft thud.

Li Xingzhou was jolted awake, as if waking from a dream. He frowned and muttered to himself:
"What is this? It feels like I'm seeing a law, or even a trace of the Heavenly Dao? A composite of laws evolved from the Heavenly Dao? But doesn't this world not have the Heavenly Dao? Could it be... a treasure from another world?"

In that instant when he was distracted, a very subtle aura, mixed with Loki's divine power, seeped into Li Xingzhou's body through his powerful absorption.

Well, to be precise, it seeped into Azu's body...

That aura might have thought it was operating undetected, but it didn't realize that this body wasn't Li Xingzhou's true form, but merely an "outer garment" worn by Li Xingzhou's Dharma body, the Blood Sea Demon Lord.

Although Li Xingzhou's mind was drawn to the grayish-white fragment, his keen spiritual perception still detected the slight anomaly.

"So it really wasn't Loki's own power?"

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, flicked his toe, and picked up the grayish-white stone fragment. Looking at Loki, he saw that he was skin and bones, his face was pale, he was foaming at the mouth, and he had fainted.

"Poor Loki, you've been abandoned! But this might be a good thing for you. Otherwise, you might not have been able to withstand the old ghost's possession..."

Li Xingzhou pondered for a moment, then casually tossed Loki to the ground. Just as he was about to treat the injured Selena and the others, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and Thor descended from the heavens.

"Loki!"

Seeing Loki's gruesome, skeletal appearance, Thor, who arrived late, glared angrily at Li Xingzhou:
"Li Ang, what exactly is going on?" Li Xingzhou spread his hands.
"It's obvious that I hurt Loki."

Thor roared:

"Don't you know he's my brother? How could you hurt him like this!"

Gwen said angrily:
"It's so touching. The younger brother was hurt, and the older brother immediately stepped forward to seek justice for him. But where were you when your brother caused such a huge mess? Please look around carefully, look at those buildings riddled with holes and even collapsed, look at those streets and bridges filled with bomb craters and vehicle wreckage, and look at those dead people. All of this was caused by your brother!"

Thor, who had just arrived and hadn't even had time to observe his surroundings, was immediately drawn to his brother's horrific condition. He then discovered that the area around Stark Tower was a scene of utter devastation, with the skyscraper badly damaged and largely collapsed, the streets littered with craters, vehicle wreckage, and even the bodies of the dead and wounded...

Looking at the city, still shrouded in smoke and devastation, and hearing the mournful cries carried on the wind, Thor's expression turned extremely grim.

This time, instead of saying "Loki was adopted," he said with difficulty:
"I'm sorry... I never expected Loki to do something like this... I... I will take responsibility."

Iliana crossed her arms and sneered:

"How are you going to take responsibility?"

Thor said:

"I will pay compensation for all the dead and wounded, and I will also compensate for the reconstruction of the city... Don't worry, I, well, Asgard has the financial strength... Although we don't have the power of swords, we have a vast amount of gold..."

"As long as they're willing to pay compensation."

Li Xingzhou shrugged:

"But it's no use telling us this. We're not judges, and we can't represent the city government. So, you'd better discuss it with S.H.I.E.L.D. As for how to deal with Loki... well, I've already given him enough punishment. As for the rest, you should discuss it with S.H.I.E.L.D. In the end, I've already shown leniency out of consideration for you. Otherwise, given the crimes Loki committed, even if I twisted his head off on the spot, you wouldn't have any grounds to criticize me."

"Thank you!" Thor said gratefully. "Thank you so much for showing mercy."

"Take Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D. yourself," Li Xingzhou waved his hand. "Once we've finished our business, we have to go."

"Wait!" Thor called out to him, "Leon, the Tesseract..."

"The Cosmic Cube?" Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow. "That's my trophy."

Thor looked at Li Xingzhou with a helpless expression:
“Li Ang, that treasure is extremely dangerous. If you try to keep it safe, it might attract countless people who covet it…”

"It's alright, let me play with it for a while, and when I get tired of it, I'll return it to the Celestial Palace."

Li Xingzhou spoke with a smile, then waved his hand, and a cloud of blood enveloped Selena and the others, carrying them away quickly.

Thor watched the receding blood cloud hesitate, then sighed, picked up Loki in one arm, spun his hammer in the other, and flew towards S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

"Leon, are we just going to let Loki go like this?"

"From within the blood-red clouds," Gwen said indignantly.

Li Xingzhou said leisurely:

"What else? New York doesn't have the death penalty. As a superhero, my principle is not to kill..."

Seeing Gwen staring at him with a resentful look, Li Xingzhou coughed twice and put on a serious face:

"Just kidding. The main reason is that Loki is Odin's adopted son, and Odin is still alive. If I kill Loki, and Odin gets angry, the consequences could be unpredictable."

Gwen said, "But you easily defeated Loki, so why can't you handle Odin?"

“Odin and Loki, and even Thor, are not on the same level.”

Li Xingzhou patiently explained:
"The Asgardians all grow stronger with age. Odin is very old, nearing death, but before his death, he was the strongest of the Celestials. And the Celestials are beings who can easily shatter a planet. Like our Earth, if Odin so desired, he could casually throw his spear 'Gungnir' and smash the Earth like an egg with a skewer."

"Why do so many dimensional beings covet Earth, yet none dare to descend upon it and cause trouble? Besides the presence of the Sorcerer Supreme, it's also because of Odin's existence. You see, Odin declared the Nine Realms his domain thousands of years ago. Therefore, no powerful being dares to ignore his role as the guardian of the Nine Realms and personally descend upon Earth..."

Not just a big shot from another dimension.

Hela, the goddess of death who could easily crush Thor's hammer, beat up Thor and Loki, and suppress the entire Asgard with her own power, possessing an immortal body that coexists with Asgard, only dared to openly appear after Odin died of old age.

This explanation left everyone stunned and silent for a long time before Gwen said incredulously:
"Odin is actually the protector of Earth?"

Li Xingzhou nodded:

"Odin was once a conqueror. He led the armies of Asgard to defeat all the races in the Nine Realms that opposed Asgard and ruled the Nine Realms. But later he transformed, from a conqueror to a protector. For thousands of years, he has never interfered with the development of Earth, like ours... In short, we may not give Thor face, but we still have to give Odin face."

With Li Xingzhou's current cultivation level, piloting the "Homelander Mech" at full power could wipe out all life on the surface of a planet. But destroying Earth would still be beyond his capabilities.

He was confident he could survive Odin's attack, though he didn't care if he was killed. He could simply reincarnate and start anew in a different world. But if he did that, none of the people around him would survive—he hadn't had enough fun in this life yet.

Therefore, he could steal the Tesseract, take Loki's artifact, and even drain Loki of his life force until he was almost dried up, but he couldn't actually kill Loki.

"Anyway, Thor has already promised to pay compensation. Let S.H.I.E.L.D. and Thor deal with the rest. We've already saved New York, even the world. Other things are none of our business. Go back and recover. I'll be back soon."

"Waiting for you to come back?" Selena asked, puzzled. "Aren't you right in front of us?"

“This is just an avatar,” Li Xingzhou said with a smile. “My real body is still in Maine.”

……

Maine, outside the Fog Zone, S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Captain's Cabin.

Nick Fury stood in front of a large screen, watching the battle video sent from New York, his expression extremely solemn.

The video was playing a scene where blood mist filled New York, blood shadows whistled by, aliens were being melted away in droves, and the remaining alien skins were being transformed into new blood shadows to join the blood shadow army.

As countless blood-red shadows surged through the time tunnel, transforming into a gigantic crimson hand that grasped the alien mothership, Nick Fury pressed the pause button on the remote control, turned to Hill and Coulson, and asked in a deep voice:
"What do you think?"

“It’s very dangerous.” Coulson pondered for a moment and said, “It’s an extremely dangerous force. If it gets out of control, it will be more terrifying than an alien invasion.”

Agent Hill also looked grave:
"Yes. We can resist an alien invasion, but that blood mist and blood shadow... I really can't think of any other way to deal with it besides nuclear weapons."

Under the thick fog of blood, visibility became narrow and blurred, making it impossible for the army to fight.

Blood Shadow, on the other hand, moved with ease and without a trace within the blood mist.

What's even more terrifying is that the Blood Shadow seems to have no vital points and is immune to physical attacks. Even when hit by the Chitauri's energy beam, it only leaves a hole in its body, which is then instantly filled by the surrounding blood mist.

Any alien caught in the blood shadow will have its flesh and bones completely melted away within seconds, leaving only a human skin. Then, in the blink of an eye, the human skin will be filled with blood mist, transforming into a new blood shadow.

This snowballing killing efficiency is truly terrifying.

If this power gets out of control and attacks ordinary humans, Manhattan will become a dead zone devoid of life within half an hour. Then it will expand in all directions, and the entire city of New York will fall in a very short time.

In short, once the blood mist and blood shadows start to snowball, it probably won't take long to wipe out the entire world.

In Hill's view, the only way to stop the Blood Shadow from snowballing is to launch nuclear weapons at any cost when the Blood Mist first appears, before it has had time to devour too many living beings and transform too many Blood Shadows, and use nuclear weapons to clear the Blood Mist and Blood Shadows as soon as possible.

After all, while those blood shadows are immune to physical attacks, they are not immune to energy attacks.

The high temperature of nuclear weapons should be enough to dispel the blood mist and melt the blood shadow.

"Now, we have a terrifying ally who seems to be on the side of humanity and the Earth, but there is no guarantee that the other side won't suddenly go out of control."

Nick Fury's voice was low and somber:

“I contacted the X-Men, but they were also trapped in the blood mist at the time and dared not make any rash moves. So we didn’t know the identity of that terrifying ally, and we couldn’t even communicate with him or test his intentions… This situation was too passive, and I didn’t want to put the survival of all mankind on the goodwill of others.”

Agent Hill said:

“We will investigate with all our might. In addition, we can ask the Avengers for help. With Stark and Dr. Reed’s skills, they might be able to find some clues.”

Nick Fury nodded. "I hope so."

Coulson then offered words of comfort:
"Things may not be so bad. I think that mysterious and terrifying ally is quite friendly. At least so far, there have been no reports of any innocent people being affected by the Blood Shadow. On the contrary, there have been many reports of the Blood Shadow appearing in time to kill aliens and save innocent civilians."

“Yes, I know they’re friendly right now, but… can you guarantee our mysterious ally will never lose control?” Nick Fury sighed. “Without countermeasures, our lives, even the survival of all humanity, will depend on them remaining forever benevolent…”

Coulson smiled and said:
"On the bright side, with such a powerful weapon guarding the Earth, if aliens invade again in the future, we only need to show them the video of the Battle of Manhattan, and they might back down."

Nick chuckled and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, his S.H.I.E.L.D. internal communicator suddenly beeped with a call notification.

The call connected, and the person on the other end spoke urgently:
"Director, this is headquarters. Thor is back on Earth, and he's come to our headquarters! He says he's here to turn himself in... Yes, you heard right, he's here to turn himself in. He says his brother, Loki, the God of Lies, is the mastermind behind stealing the Tesseract, opening the time tunnel, and summoning aliens. Luckily, someone defeated him and demanded that Thor take responsibility for the cleanup, so Thor brought Loki here to turn himself in..."

"Wait!" Nick Fury astutely grasped the key point: "Find out who defeated Loki and demand Thor take responsibility!"

"It's Leonardo Victor, the Red Dragon of the Avengers. He's the one who defeated Loki."

"How is that possible?" Nick Fury looked astonished. "Isn't the Red Dragon in the Fog Zone?"

"I don't know, but that's what Thor said..."

After ending the call, Nick Fury's expression shifted:
"Could it be that after Leonardo entered the Fog Zone, he took advantage of the communication blackout there to return to New York?"

Hill reminded him:
"Tony Stark is still outside the Mist to provide support. We've contacted him several times, and he reports that everything is normal. Leonardo has provided them with a special communicator based on magical principles, capable of transmitting messages within the Mist. According to Tony Stark, he has used that communicator to contact Banner and Reed multiple times, keeping a close eye on their progress. Banner and Reed have reported that Leonardo has performed admirably, acting as a trailblazer alongside Johnny the Human Torch, defeating numerous giant monsters."

Colson said:
"Leonardo DiCaprio from the Fog Zone probably won't leave. He and the Invisible Woman are a couple, so it's unlikely he'd leave his partner in such a dangerous place as the Fog Zone and sneak back to New York alone."

Hill said, "Since the Leonardo in the Fog Zone is fine, then the Leonardo in New York must be the problem? Maybe he's an imposter?"

Nick Fury remained silent for a long time, then murmured:

"But impersonating Leonardo is pointless... If it were me, possessing such power, why would I impersonate someone else? If I wanted to hide myself, I could simply remain hidden in the blood mist, never letting anyone know of my existence. If I didn't want to hide, I would only reveal my true face; that's the pride of a strong person. So..."

He paused, then slowly said:
Is it possible that both Leonardo DiCaprios are real people, just with different appearances?

Coulson and Hill looked at each other, then shrugged.
“I’m sorry, this question is too profound for me. You know I know nothing about magic.”

Hill then said:

"Perhaps we can wait until Leonardo returns and ask him directly. Just like you said, with such great power, he has no reason to hide himself."

Suddenly, a special agent rushed in, reporting excitedly:

"Director, the fog is starting to close! The Avengers have succeeded!"

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury led Hill and Coulson to the window and looked towards the misty area. They saw the mist in the distance shrinking at an extremely fast speed, revealing the green mountains and clear waters covered by the mist.

Seeing this, Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:
"Excellent, another crisis has been resolved! Next... it's time to prepare to welcome our victorious warriors."
