With the help of the X-Men, Magneto, Yuu Otosaka, figured the problem could be solved, so he didn't bother to intervene again. He'd already done it once, and he didn't want his brother to help again, otherwise his brother would definitely use it against him next time they met.

[Although Red Devil Kirima Sho didn't know why the BOSS had only glanced at them, killed a nobody, and said he was leaving, the other party was still his boss. Red Devil Kirima Sho grabbed Magneto Otosaka Yuu's shoulder, and as a faint red mist dissipated on the sky-high building, the figures of Magneto Otosaka Yuu and Red Devil Kirima Sho disappeared.]

Meanwhile, Hawkeye Shirou happened to turn and look at the spot where Magneto and Red Devil had just been. He had clearly felt someone watching him.

"I knew we'd be on the field."

"After all, making an appearance in this major battle can earn a lot of public goodwill in advance for his official debut later."

Kuma-mi said to his friend, "At first, Otosaka Hayato was saying why the X-Men hadn't made any moves. Even if King could keep it from them, the Chitauri army's official invasion of Earth was such a big event that it shouldn't have been kept secret."

But after waiting for a long time, even Senku Ishigami arrived on his electric scooter, while the mutants still hadn't made a move. Fortunately, they finally saw the mutants.

"Logically speaking, why wouldn't Storm, with her ability to control the weather, be deployed for such a large-scale battle?"

"And if we're really talking about the weather, isn't there already Thor?"

Qianbo was a little curious. After all, in the past, the weather could influence the outcome of many large-scale battles. So, in theory, wouldn't sending Storm Girl Amano Hina be very useful?

"I think it's probably because they're worried about the huge area affected by Storm's mutant ability. Besides, there aren't just Chitauri soldiers here, but also other combatants and civilians. They can't use a move that would kill a thousand enemies but also hurt eight of their own."

Otosaka Hayato explained that, after all, several of the superheroes are still mortals, and there are also so many police officers. If Storm Girl Amano Hina creates large-scale severe weather, it can indeed be very effective against the Chitauri soldiers, but it will also greatly interfere with friendly forces.

286: The best way to wake someone up is through physical awakening.

"Okay, looks like I was a little late."

After leaving Rogers, Zhuge Cong headed directly towards Hachiman Hikigaya. When he arrived, he found the ground littered with the remains of Chitauri soldiers, and Hachiman Hikigaya had ejected his empty magazines from his mobile suit.

"Yes, you're a little late. Don't worry, you don't need any support."

[Hachiman Hikigaya turned to Zhuge Cong and said, "With ample ammunition, I alone am enough to withstand the firepower of several Chitauri squads."]

"Chichu, you can deal with the guys behind you yourself. I'm going somewhere else."

[Zhuge Cong pointed behind Hachiman Hikigaya and then soared into the sky, disappearing into the distance. Hachiman Hikigaya turned around and saw several more Chitauri soldiers approaching him. Turning back, he found that Zhuge Cong was nowhere to be seen.]

[“Crack.”]

With a crisp click of a weapon being cocked, Hachiman Hikigaya pointed his gun at the invading Chitauri soldiers. Zhuge Cong's decision to leave alone showed his confidence in Hachiman Hikigaya's abilities.

Meanwhile, Dr. Yuiga Nariyuki, who was atop the Zhuge Building, slowly awoke from the ground. His awakening was similar to that of Mihawk Shirou Emiya, who had been controlled by Loki—both had recovered from a severe head injury. As Dr. Nariyuki sat up, he looked up and was met with a scene that horrified him.

For a moment, Dr. Yuiga Nariyuki felt as if he were still dreaming, while troops gradually arrived at the scene.

"Is anyone on 42nd Street? There are a lot of people trapped inside the bank by the Chitauri."

[Besides Hawkeye Shirou, who acts as a human radar providing real-time enemy movement, Zhuge Cong can also use Jarvis's real-time detection to learn about information in areas that Hawkeye Shirou cannot see.]

"Holy crap, I'm on 40th Street right now."

After dealing with a Chitauri soldier, Captain Rogers heard Zhuge Cong's words and planned to head to 42nd Street. However, before he could move, he heard Kirigaya Kazuto's voice; Kirigaya Kazuto had been silent until now.

"I'll go, I'm closer."

"Closer, okay? I don't know why you're on 40th Street, but I'll ask you to go anyway."

Although Zhuge Cong was somewhat curious as to how Kirito ended up on 40th Street, given that their cordoned-off area was from 1 to 39, he quickly realized that Kirito might not have seen him and had simply walked a short distance. Alternatively, it was possible that Kirito was on 39th Street and thus quickly reached 40th Street upon setting off.

At this point, Kirigaya Kazuto's battle suit was already quite tattered, and it didn't seem to have been damaged during the battle with the Chitauri soldiers. Rather, it looked like the marks left by the claws of some wild beast tearing at his suit during a fight.

Inside the bank, a large crowd was herded to the second floor by Chitauri soldiers like livestock. The soldiers, armed, pulled out a grenade, intending to wipe out the entire crowd below. At that moment, Kirito arrived at the bank and stealthily crept in along the wall. Upon entering, he heard a beeping sound. Based on his years of experience fighting crime, Kirito knew it was a countdown before an explosive device detonated.

[Kiritani Kazuto drew his longsword and threw it in the direction of the sound. The sharp blade pierced the chest of the Chitauri soldier, who collapsed to the ground, the grenade in his hand rolling away with a clatter.]

[While Kirigaya Kazuto was taking down the Chitauri soldiers, the other Chitauri soldiers spotted him and opened fire. Kirigaya Kazuto nimbly dodged to the side. Using his keen hearing, he located the remaining Chitauri soldiers inside the bank, but dealing with them was tricky because time was limited and there was a grenade that could explode at any moment.]

[Kiritani Kazuto kicked the overturned table, which immediately flew off and smashed into the two nearest Chitauri soldiers. Then, Kirigaya Kazuto instantly rushed to the position of the first Chitauri soldier and drew his one-handed sword. To help him find his sword, the hilt emitted a very faint sound.]

[Kiritani Kazuto, having drawn his one-handed sword, thrust it backward, killing a Chitauri soldier who attempted a sneak attack. However, before he could fully retract his sword, two more Chitauri soldiers charged in, one from the left and one from the right. In the narrow corridor with limited space to dodge, Kirigaya Kazuto managed to dodge one, but was then choked by the other Chitauri soldier.]

Meanwhile, the ticking of the grenade grew increasingly rapid, clearly indicating it was about to explode. Kirito, firmly restrained, could only shout.

"Now, quickly crouch down and hide."

The crowd below obediently crouched down, covering their heads. The Chitauri soldier who had bound Kirigaya Kazuto was exceptionally strong; no matter how much Kirigaya Kazuto struggled, it was futile. Just as the rapid ticking of the grenade turned into a loud whirring sound, a white spiderweb shot in from outside the window, precisely catching the grenade on the ground just before it exploded. The spiderweb dragged the grenade out just before it detonated, and it exploded the instant it left the window.

Because they were so close to the window, both Kirigaya Kazuto and the Chitauri soldier were hit by the grenade blast. Kirigaya Kazuto managed to break free, and by then, the window had been blown to smithereens.

【"Bang."】

"Hi, Kirigaya-senpai, are you alright?"

[Wearing a Spider-Man bodysuit, Nohara Shinnosuke, transformed into Spider-Man, kicked the Chitauri soldier away and then addressed Kirigaya Kazuto.]

[After seeing the giant wormhole in the sky while at school, he immediately realized something big was about to happen. So he quickly asked for leave and, without waiting for the teacher to say anything, found a secluded spot, put on the spider suit from his backpack, and rushed over.]

287: King: CNMD Nuclear Strike

[When Nohara Shinnosuke arrived, he happened to encounter Kirito, who was in a predicament.]

"To make a long story short, aliens have arrived. Since you're here, come with me and keep an eye on 1st to 39th Street to prevent those aliens from escaping."

[Kirigaya Kazuto said to Nohara Shinnosuke, "I originally didn't intend to let Nohara Shinnosuke participate in such a dangerous matter because he's still a student, but since Nohara Shinnosuke is here, I might as well take him along."]

[After hearing Kirito's words, Nohara Shinnosuke initially wanted to ask how a number could be numbered 42 if it was 1-39, but then he thought about how the situation on the battlefield could change in an instant.]

【"OK."】

Even when faced with serious matters, Nohara Shinnosuke didn't dwell on them much; the closer they got to this place, the more tragic scenes they encountered.

"Something must have happened to Daredevil Kirito."

"The marks on Kiritani Kazuto's armor were not caused by Chitauri soldiers."

Light Yagami looked at Kazuto Kiritani and said.

Just now, when Kirigaya Kazuto was being choked by that Chitauri soldier, Yagami Light noticed the shape of the Chitauri soldier's hand and found that it was not the same as the damage to Kirigaya Kazuto's battle suit. The Chitauri soldier had four claws, which were relatively short and thick, while the claw marks were three and very thin and long, which did not quite match the characteristics of the Chitauri soldier's hand.

Secondly, there's Kirigaya Kazuto's physical fitness. Yagami Light could clearly see that Kirigaya Kazuto's physical fitness had declined significantly. After all, Kirigaya Kazuto's physical abilities were previously quite strong, and he shouldn't be as easily choked as those shown on the screen now. Moreover, Kirigaya Kazuto's two-handed swords were gone, leaving only a one-handed sword. The other sword was missing. It's worth noting that both swords were in good condition at the beginning of the operation.

Light Yagami shared his findings. Gordon fell silent after hearing Light's analysis, while L's eyes lit up. L was very satisfied with the thoroughness of Light's observations. He had also observed the points that Light had noted. Now, L was very curious and looking forward to the fact that Light Yagami was also the Ghost Rider.

"I didn't expect Spider-Man to show up, but he turned out to be a top-notch savior."

Kazuma Sato looked at Shinnosuke Nohara, who had appeared in time to save the day and done Kirito a great favor, and said, "I was just guessing that I should have become Deadpool by now. Why didn't I even show my face? Even if I didn't come out to fight a few Chitauri soldiers, I should at least get a shot of myself."

Zhuge Cong and the others hadn't guessed what Sato Kazuma was thinking; after all, who would have thought that Sato Kazuma would think this way?

"Being blind is definitely inconvenient, if you could see, you wouldn't have run to that spot, and you wouldn't have been choked and almost blown to bits."

Zhuge Cong said to Kirito, "Because I can't see Kirito, I'm leading myself down a terrible path. If Spider-Man Shinnosuke Nohara hadn't arrived, Kirito would probably be in the ICU, if not dead."

"Chief King, the council has made its decision."

"I already know that."

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier, Director King of S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a standoff with the five Councils.

"But given how incredibly stupid this decision is, I've decided to ignore it."

King, with one hand on his hip, spoke with an air of dominance.

"Chief, your aircraft carrier is the closest there. Dispatch fighter jets immediately!"

"Congressman, you didn't even consider that this is the city center of District L. Unless my squad is truly on the verge of collapse, I won't order an immediate nuclear strike on civilians."

"puff!"

Shirogane Miyuki spat out the black tea he had just been drinking after hearing King's words: a nuclear strike, and in the city center of L district no less! Was that councilor insane?

Moreover, what use is a nuclear strike? At most, it will wipe out one wave. If the root cause is not addressed, a large number of Chitauri soldiers will swarm out again in the next second.

Shirogane Miyuki cursed inwardly.

"Did I hear that right? Those congressmen's decision was to just drop a nuclear bomb."

Yu Ishigami said in disbelief, "This decision is indeed, as King said, incredibly stupid. It might not be able to destroy the Chitauri, but it could wipe out the superheroes and civilians."

--------

"It's really important to have the power to fight nuclear weapons. Otherwise, one day I would not be dealing with the enemy's nuclear-level attack, but the backstabbing of my own allies. It's true that it's better to stay hidden behind the scenes than to show your face in public."

Wild Shadow thought as he watched King and the council talking on the screen.

Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar. After all, if they could order the bombing of Zone L with a clear conscience, their own area might be next. At the same time, Light Yagami, inside the Light Curtain organization, turned to Gordon and said...

"Are you guys really that stupid?"

Gordon was at a loss for words when he heard Light Yagami's words. In his heart, Gordon thought that the senator must be out of his mind. It's okay to drop nuclear weapons, but you can't just drop them randomly. And can't he understand the situation? What's the use of dropping them in the city center of L District? All that will happen is that a group of soldiers will die.

"If we don't eliminate those aliens there, the whole world will suffer."

"Sending nuclear warplanes would be truly irreversible. Besides, nuclear bombs can't really harm those aliens; at most, they can only flatten one wave. The Chitauri soldiers will be back in no time, and the real disaster will be the loss of our defenses."

[King hung up the phone immediately after speaking, inwardly cursing the guy who made the proposal.]

"It's you."

Vermouth, piloting a Chitauri airship, suddenly realized she was being attacked. Turning around, she saw Loki in a small airship.

"Hawkeye, can you help me?"
