Just before crashing to the ground, Zhuge Cong successfully transformed and quickly flew back up, with Hachiman Hikigaya following behind.
Loki, looking gloomy, watched Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya fly up. Loki had initially thought he could kill Zhuge Cong by throwing him off balance. While he couldn't control Zhuge Cong to make him fight the Avengers, killing him would still be a good outcome.
[I never expected this to happen. I shouldn't have dodged it.]
"on purpose."
Looking at Zhuge Cong on the light screen, Light Yagami suddenly spoke. Light Yagami had been wondering why Zhuge Cong had acted so boldly and where his confidence came from. Now, seeing Zhuge Cong wearing the brand-new Mark 7 armor, Light Yagami understood why Zhuge Cong was doing all this.
"Zhuge Cong's provocation of Loki, and his attempt to prevent Hachiman Hikigaya from firing his gun and stopping Loki from using his Mind Staff on him, were all intentional."
L continued, picking up where Light Yagami left off.
"The main reason Zhuge Cong said he was going to confront Loki was that he needed to change his armor, as his original armor could no longer sustain high-intensity combat."
"Zhuge Cong's conversation and drinking with Loki were indeed to buy time, and at the same time, to seize the opportunity to put on those two bracelets that could identify his identity."
"Then it was about preventing Hachiman Hikigaya from firing his gun, and getting Loki to use his Mind Staff on him and provoke Loki."
"The most crucial part is Loki's use of the Mind Scepter. If Loki hadn't placed it on Zhuge Cong's chest as he had planned, then all of Zhuge Cong's plans would have been ruined, and he himself would have been at risk."
"But Zhuge Cong was both very capable and very lucky. Loki acted exactly as he had planned, and then he provoked Loki. Hachiman Hikigaya's shooting and the curses he didn't finish were all meant to provoke Loki."
"Enraging Loki was also part of Zhuge Cong's escape plan. It was impractical to simply put on his armor and run away to create distance from Loki. Therefore, Zhuge Cong could only try to provoke Loki so that Loki would throw him out. This was the safest plan among all available options."
"As for ensuring that Loki doesn't kill him directly after being provoked but throws him out, that depends on the glass that Hachiman Hikigaya broke with his gun. The broken glass also gave Loki the idea of throwing Zhuge Cong out to his death. Of course, if Loki doesn't do that, Zhuge Cong will probably just activate his armor and rely on Hachiman Hikigaya outside to save him."
Light Yagami explained his analysis step by step. L was very satisfied with Light Yagami's analysis. As expected of the good fighter he had chosen, he was much better than the two guys he had taken in.
Gordon and the recorder next to Light Yagami and L were stunned for a moment after listening before they reacted. Although they thought that Zhuge Cong was simply a man of great skill and audacity who dared to provoke Loki, they had thought about it a lot, but not as much as Light Yagami had. After all, Light Yagami had analyzed every step and every plan of Zhuge Cong.
Loki, annoyed by the approaching Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya, raised his Mind Staff, ready to fire a few shots. However, Loki underestimated the staff's charging speed. Before he could fire, Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya's palm cannons had already struck Loki, blasting him away and sending him crashing to the ground. The Mind Staff also slipped from his grasp.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Zhuge Building, the machine carrying the Cosmic Cube was spinning rapidly. After reaching a certain point, the Cosmic Cube's surging energy erupted from the top of the machine, a massive blue beam shooting straight into the sky with an imposing force, as if it were about to pierce the heavens.
[Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya also noticed the blue beam of light and looked up. They saw the blue beam shine into the sky, and then the sky gradually turned black. Next, the black sky cracked open, forming a giant black chrysanthemum...skull.]
Meanwhile, the Chitauri army, which had been waiting for a long time, was already itching to descend upon Earth for a carnage. The moment they saw the portal open, the Chitauri army surged towards it like a swarm of locusts—numerous yet orderly.
These Chitauri, piloting individual or squad-level combat aircraft, passed through the eerie blue portal and eventually landed on Earth.
"Aliens! Terrifying aliens are coming!"
As an astronomy enthusiast, Fumino Furuhashi's face turned deathly pale when she saw those ugly, ferocious, and fully armed Chitauri descending upon Earth. Loving the starry sky doesn't mean loving those hostile creatures in the sky.
----------
"The aliens really did arrive; it's not just a showdown between the Avengers and Loki that we thought it would end up like."
"Can Earth survive? There are so many aliens with advanced equipment, but their numbers are still relatively small."
"Won't Earth just end up being completely conquered by aliens like this?"
"No, no, this is what it means. There's more to Avengers than what happened in 'The Avengers 1,' and they definitely won't die out. Yes, they won't die out."
Natsuki Subaru swallowed hard as he looked at the Chitauri in the light screen, who looked like they could take on a hundred of him. If the Chitauri really did destroy Earth, wouldn't he be doomed?
It seems that the Avengers don't have much of a chance against the Chitauri, so Subaru Natsuki can only place his hopes on Earth's superheroes.
--------
"A grand stage, a powerful showdown between heroes and villains."
"The battle between the two armies is the ultimate moment that determines the life and death of billions of people."
Lord Shadow was excited as he watched the Avengers about to fight the Chitauri army on the screen. To be honest, Lord Shadow also wanted to have extraordinary power to fight, even if he might lose in the end. The heroic end and the fight with all his might were something Lord Shadow longed for. It was just a pity that he didn't have any role to play at the moment.
If you think about it more pessimistically, you might become one of the dead souls of the Chitauri army's weapons in this battle, and whether you're a hero or a villain will have nothing to do with you anymore.
274: Ultimate Anti-Aircraft Firepower
"Alright, the army's really here. Let's get the real stuff."
[Zhuge Cong looked up at the wormhole opened by the Tesseract in the sky, and the massive Chitauri army that Loki always talked about invading from it. The blue light screen in front of him turned red, clearly indicating that Zhuge Cong's Iron Man armor had been operating in a relatively peaceful manner.]
[Now, the invasion of the Chitauri army has prompted Zhuge Cong to unleash the killing war mode of his Iron Man armor.]
"Then I'll make sure the war machine truly lives up to its name this time."
[Hachiman Hikigaya spoke up, and after he finished speaking, his screen changed from green to red. At the same time, his armor twisted a few times, and then a large number of weapons extended from within. Like Zhuge Cong's Iron Man armor, Hachiman Hikigaya's War Machine armor had never been used at full power, not even when he faced Thor.]
[Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya also flew upwards, facing the oncoming Chitauri army. Zhuge Cong's palm cannons were at full power, each shot powerful enough to bring down a Chitauri combat unit. Hachiman Hikigaya, meanwhile, was perched on a nearby building, his legs secured to a support structure that prevented him from being affected by the terrifying recoil while unleashing his powerful firepower. Fortunately, while on the S.H.I.E.L.D. carrier, Hachiman Hikigaya managed to replenish his supplies from the S.H.I.E.L.D. armory.]
If Zhuge Cong's charge was the first line of defense against the Chitauri army, delivering precise, single-target kills, then Hachiman Hikigaya was the second line of defense, unleashing terrifying, indiscriminate firepower.
[After tearing apart a Chitauri with his bare hands, Zhuge Cong, charging at the forefront, unleashed a miniature missile from his shoulder, directly destroying dozens of Chitauri units. Below, Hachiman Hikigaya focused his fire, finishing off any Chitauri Zhuge Cong couldn't kill. Of course, some stray attacks still struck Zhuge Cong, producing crisp sounds, which he easily discerned.]
After all, the Chitauri army is equipped with energy weapons.
[In a short time, the first wave of Chitauri troops that rushed into the wormhole to invade Earth was mostly wiped out by the combined efforts of Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya. Fortunately, the wormhole wasn't very large.]
"The two of them actually withstood the onslaught of the first vanguard of the Chitauri army."
As Kousaka Kyosuke watched Iron Man Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya work together seamlessly against the Chitauri army on the screen, even managing to suppress them for a time, he was utterly shocked. Although he guessed that this suppression might only last for the initial period, since Zhuge Cong's energy and Hachiman Hikigaya's ammunition and weapon reserves were not unlimited, the suppression could only last for such a short time.
However, this short period of suppression was enough to shock the world, after all, their enemy this time was aliens from another planet, not enemies native to Earth.
[A series of dazzling explosions echoed through the sky. Despite their fierce attacks, Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya, firing at full power, couldn't withstand the sheer number and superior equipment of the Chitauri army. Under the second wave of Chitauri assault, Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya were unable to hold out. One after another, the Chitauri broke through their firepower and advanced towards the city.]
Meanwhile, on the city streets, large numbers of vehicles came to a stop. Passengers and drivers either rolled down their windows and stuck their heads out to look, or got out of their cars to see the eerie blue beam of light shooting straight into the sky, the enormous wormhole, and, most captivatingly, the explosions of battle.
[But the crowd realized the next second that this wasn't the time to watch the show, because those Chitauri who hadn't been attacked by Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya had already arrived.]
The Chitauri army unleashed terrifying energy weapons, firing blue energy shockwaves that blasted the city streets to smithereens, easily reducing vehicles to scrap metal.
The Chitauri army ravaged the city mercilessly, their weapons easily reducing the panicked, fleeing crowds to ashes.
The once bustling city was instantly reduced to a scene of devastation by the Chitauri army. Skyscrapers were riddled with holes by waves of blue energy blasts, roads were riddled with potholes, and fleeing crowds, knowing that staying on the open streets meant certain death, hurriedly ran into buildings—after all, buildings were much safer than open roads.
[After the initial panic subsided, the people hiding inside the building pulled out their phones to film the scene outside and posted it online. The video of the Chitauri army, initially jokingly referred to as a promotional trailer for a game or movie, fell silent after being officially broadcast in the news.]
[Then, the internet erupted in shock. After all, the alien invasion, which had previously only existed in fantasy, had suddenly become a reality. The first reaction was naturally to think it was fake. But now that official news outlets had stepped in, Zhang naturally knew it was true. After all, the government wouldn't joke about something like that.]
"Hmm~~~~, I can understand, I can understand. If I saw it online, my first reaction would also be to think it was a game trailer or movie promotion."
Izumi Konata lazily lay on the table and said that she was quite indifferent to the invasion of the Chitauri army on the light screen. After all, this kind of thing was not her place to care. If the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up. If the tall ones couldn't hold it up, then she could only accept her fate.
"However, the alien invasion is still different from what I imagined. I didn't expect that Earth's weapons could kill aliens. I thought Earth's weapons couldn't even break through the aliens' defenses."
Izumi thought about the Chitauri army that had been wiped out by Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya. She had originally thought that Earth's weapons couldn't even break through their defenses.
275: It's taking so long, even slower than food delivery.
Loki slowly walked out of the Zhuge Mansion and onto the outer platform. He then walked to the armored vehicle where Zhuge Cong had removed his armor, and Loki's armor, which Hachiman Hikigaya called Bambi, slowly materialized.
Loki, holding the Mind Control Scepter, spread his arms wide, below which lay a ruined city, and Loki wore a very satisfied expression.
"Loki!"
Just as Loki was spreading his arms wide, feeling the sensation, an angry male voice rang out. Loki recognized the voice and turned to see someone flying down from the sky.
Thor, enraged by the rampaging Chitauri army below, raised his hammer and angrily addressed Loki.
"Turn off the Cosmic Cube right now, or I'll destroy it."
"You can't destroy the Cosmic Cube."
"It's unstoppable now."
"The only option now is to go to war!"
Loki, holding his Mind Bender, pointed it at Thor and said, "Mjolnir against the scepter, Loki against Thor, Earth against the Chitauri."
【“Come on then.”】
Thor looked at Loki and said, "The situation is no longer one for Thor to keep backing down. We have to take some tough measures, like hitting someone or something with our hammer."
Loki leaped forward, brandishing his Mind Staff and thrusting it at Thor. The blade at the tip of the staff, which had once pierced Plot Against's chest, was now aimed at Thor, but Thor easily dodged it, the sharp blade leaving a deep gash in the ground.
"Duang!"
Thor swung his Mjolnir and slammed it into the Mind Bender, producing a dull thud. Loki was also knocked back several steps by Thor's immense force. Then, Loki swung the Mind Bender in a powerful sweeping attack, which Thor dared not take head-on, and retreated half a step to dodge. Loki then retaliated with a slash at Thor with the Mind Bender, but Thor blocked it with his hammer.
[Loki then fired a shot at Thor, but Thor suppressed it with his hammer. The energy wave from the Mind Bender's Scepter knocked Zhuge Liang down from the logo wall of the Zhuge Tower.]
"Boom!"
[The Zhuge logo fell from the building, crashing to the ground with a loud thud, and Zhuge himself shattered into pieces.]
"Is this an indication that Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, will die in the Chitauri invasion?"
"The battle between Loki, the god of mischief, and Thor, the god of thunder, represents the Chitauri and Earth respectively. And is the logo of Zhuge Liang, which fell and shattered during their battle, a representation of Zhuge Cong?"
As Natsuki Subaru watched the battle between Loki and Thor on the light screen, he transformed into a language arts class representative and began to analyze the meaning of the Zhuge Liang logo that fell down during the battle between Loki and Thor.
After detoxifying himself, Natsuki Subaru felt that his interpretation was very reasonable and well-founded. Thinking this, Natsuki Subaru posted his interpretation on an online forum. In less than a minute, Natsuki Subaru's interpretation received tens of thousands of likes, and then various experts came to supplement Natsuki Subaru's interpretation.
In a short period of time, Natsuki Subaru's interpretation quickly became a trending topic with the support of netizens. Natsuki Subaru felt a great sense of accomplishment, while Zhuge Cong, who was being interpreted by Natsuki Subaru, was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the trending topic.
"The death of Iron Man Zhuge Cong! Is it alien distortion or the fall of Earth?"
The subway, the elderly, and the cell phone—that's Zhuge Cong's expression right now. This was what Sato Kazuma had shown him earlier.
"You're going to die."
