Chapter 563 Kang's Army
Kang is facing the largest lineup since the birth of Earth 616.

The Avengers, the world's strongest hero team, the most powerful hero group on the entire planet.

The Fantastic Four, the pioneers of a new era of heroes, full of curiosity and a spirit of exploration.

The X-Men are a team of mutant heroes who have fought for mutant rights for decades.

The Thunder Commandos, a superhero team formed by S.H.I.E.L.D., was designed from the outset to rival the Avengers.

The Defenders are a team of civilian heroes who fight on the streets of New York City to protect the city.

In addition, there are villains or former villains like Doctor Doom and Magneto, independent agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. like Silk and Agent Venom, independent heroes like the Punisher and Ghost Rider, and even two young student teams from Xavier's College have come to fight.

Not to mention the Ultron robots deployed to deal with those scarab minions, the Doom robots, the clone heroes brought from the future by the Fantastic Four, and the mutants brought by Magneto.

“We need to assemble a team to help the surrounding residents evacuate. Tony, why wasn’t the evacuation order issued before?”

“Actually, it was sent earlier, right the moment we decided to attack.” Tony flew in mid-air, firing missiles at the scarab robots that were being launched from the ground. “And to be honest, Captain, we’ve controlled the battlefield very well. Everyone knows Kang is going to cause trouble here, so there’s not much of a crowd around. If all else fails, you can just have Kovacs teleport everyone away.”

"Make sure the battlefield doesn't spread beyond Manhattan. Everyone, don't linger in the fighting. Send a team to hold off these damned robots! Our target is the Cosmic Cube on Kang's chest!"

The captain quickly scanned all the participants and then gave the order: "Hulk, Thing, Colossus, clear a path and make sure there are no obstacles between us and Kang! Where is Kang?!"

"They're heading towards Times Park along Sixth Avenue. I'm chasing them, Captain."

Peter, hanging on the exterior wall of the building, saw Kang leave the center of the battlefield and have his robot soldiers stop everyone. He quickly followed, swinging on his webs to approach Kang and attempting to directly capture him.

It was at this moment that Peter's spider-sense activated, and fragments of the future appeared in his eyes. Subsequently, his brain began to automatically construct Kang's next course of action based on the shadow vision of Spider-Man Noir and the spider-sense enhanced to a prophetic level by the Erkins serum.

Just as he was about to approach Kang, Peter used his spider silk to hook onto the buildings on both sides, bringing himself to a sudden stop in mid-air. Using the elasticity of the silk, he bounced and shot through the air, dodging Kang's first beam of light. Then, the silk stuck to Kang's face, and his bioelectricity exploded, causing white lightning to strike Kang.

"Hey, Kang? Where are you rushing off to? Is there some kind of music event waiting for you at Times Park?"

Peter quickly caught up with Kang, but Kang didn't intend to talk to Peter much. He simply tossed him an energy ball. Peter anticipated this and immediately gave chase, contacting others: "Is anyone near Times Park? Kang is heading there. Does anyone know what's in Times Park?"

"If I had to say, it's a dinosaur, kid."

A voice Peter didn't quite recognize came through; it was Hawkeye, who was standing atop a Manhattan skyscraper surveying his surroundings: "All I see is a bunch of dinosaurs running around in Times Park."

Dinosaurs? Does Kang really think dinosaurs could defeat them?
No, that's not right. Is Kang planning to run away?

It doesn't seem right either.

With the Cosmic Cube implanted within him, Kang will be unable to time travel. Unless he chooses to discard the Cosmic Cube, he will never be able to leave 2013. This is because the Cosmic Cube itself cannot undergo any time travel, nor can it be interfered with by the Time Stone or any other device. You cannot speed up or stop the complete Cosmic Cube, which is why Kang created it in the 21st century.

From this perspective, Kang created his own fatal weakness. If Kang only possessed the Time Stone, he would have extremely strong immortality. Every Kang killed could just be a variant of Kang. Kang could set time loops for himself, or even set save points like in a game. However, in pursuit of the power of the Cosmic Cube, he gave up his greatest advantage.

On the other hand, it's unlikely that Kang would relinquish the power of the Cosmic Cube. Leaving aside its immense power, if he removed the Cosmic Cube from his chest, Kovacs could instantly seize complete control, putting Kovacs in grave danger. That's why Peter was certain Kang wouldn't run away; fighting to the death was his only option. But why would he run now?
"I have bad news for you, Spider-Man. I think I know why Kang ran towards Times Park now." Hawkeye, who had just shot an arrow into a scarab robot, saw something new: "Of course, you'll probably see it soon. Want me to keep you in suspense?"

"Uh, no need. Oh... okay, I've already seen it."

Time Park, a place Kang transformed into a Jurassic Park-like attraction during the Cretaceous period in the Kang Dynasty, is also where Kang used the power of the Cosmic Cube to refuse Kovacs's restoration. Now, he has run here in one breath, and Spider-Man, who has caught up, has seen what Kang is about to release.

Meanwhile, Hawkeye has already informed the captain of this news.

"Captain, bad news. Kang has pulled out a reinforcement from Times Park."

"What kind of reinforcements? Roman legions? Dinosaurs? Medieval knights, Nazis, or people from the future?"

"Neither, Captain."

Peter answered the captain's question. Kang could no longer time travel at this moment, so he came to this place, in Times Park, where he had already prepared a massive time-travel device. The reason he didn't choose to teleport here was precisely to let everyone witness this scene.

The variants released by Kang into each era all returned to New York through time tunnels, but if that's the case, Kang wouldn't have needed to come here slowly on his own. He came to this place for something much bigger.

Peter couldn't help but ask the Fantastic Four a question.

"You guys really haven't seen this thing in the 31st century?"

"What the hell... Holy crap!"

A colossal, cyborg-armored giant emerged from the portal, bending low. Then, Kang floated up, using the Cosmic Cube on his chest as its energy source.

"This is the weapon that humanity has prepared to fight against the greatest apocalypse they have ever encountered. Avengers, come and meet us, Anti-Celestial Armor!"

Tony was silent for two seconds.

"First of all, this thing must have been made by my future self."

"Secondly, what exactly is the Celestial Group?"
