Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

After saying that, Wanda turned and left.

In the instant before she left, her eyes met Gwen's.

The two women's eyes met in mid-air for less than half a second.

Gwen saw anger in Wanda's eyes, but she also saw something else besides anger.

anxiety.

Wanda was actually afraid too.

But she did not choose to sit idly by and wait for death; instead, she chose to take a gamble.

"Let's go, Pietro."

Wanda strode away without looking back.

Pietro shrugged, spread his hands at the people in the conference room, and made a "I can't help having such a sister" expression.

Watching the two figures leave.

The meeting room fell silent once again.

But this silence was noticeably different.

Captain America slowly stood up.

He stared at the gate, which had been knocked askew, and remained silent for a long time.

"She's right."

Everyone looked at him.

"Our over-reliance on Peter has indeed made us a little too dull."

"We actually need an outsider to tell us such a simple truth as 'sitting here won't solve anything'!"

"Gwen is right, we must do something before Peter returns!"

"As Avengers, as humanity's last line of defense, no matter how powerful the enemy, we should hold on to the very end!"

"This is a responsibility we've carried on our shoulders since the first day we became superheroes!"

As he finished speaking, he raised his head, and a faint light finally shone again in his blue eyes.

"Avengers... Assemble."

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the conference room changed.

Everyone felt their fear and negativity rapidly receding, replaced by a surge of intense emotion rising within them, burning like a flame!

"Captain's right! Even if we're no match for that monster, at least we can bite off a piece of that bastard's flesh before we die!" Harry shouted.

So Captain America picked up the vibranium shield that was leaning against the wall.

Tony's finger touched the arc reactor on his chest, and Mark 50 quickly covered his entire body.

Natasha's body underwent a drastic change, visibly switching into a human-beast form.

Harry, Gwen, Daisy, Hawkeye, Felicia... one after another.

No one said discouraging things anymore, and no one responded to others' encouragement with passive silence.

……

Three hours later.

Argentina, southern coastline of Buenos Aires.

The Avengers' Quinjet landed on a ruin that had been submerged by seawater.

On the distant coastline, large dark shadows are slowly moving.

Those were Kur's troops.

The Tidal Legion, composed of tens of thousands of Talokan warriors, led the way, while at the very center of the legion, five figures emitting different colored lights floated in mid-air.

These were the remaining five Heavenly Hammer Venerables.

Behind the Heavenly Hammer Venerable, a tall man with dark green runes wrapped around his body sat on a throne formed from seawater.

Kur.

He didn't even stand up.

He just sat there, in an almost languid posture, looking down at the tiny figures jumping off the fighter jets in front of him.

"You're the Avengers?"

Kur's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"I thought...at least a few more would come."

Captain America gripped the handle of his shield tightly.

He could feel the oppressive aura emanating from Kur—it wasn't just a simple pressure of power, but an instinctive urge that surged from the depths of one's soul, making one want to kneel down.

fear.

Pure, unadorned fear.

"Would you like a few more? We'll grant your wish!"

Tony snapped his fingers with a cold laugh, and then all sorts of lights lit up the sky.

Those were different models of Mark suits, each with its own autonomous attack mode activated.

The warriors raised their hands, their palms accumulating intense energy cannons.

This display of force did indeed cause a moment of panic among the Talokan army behind Namo.

But Kur remained arrogant and listless, merely raising a finger casually.

"Go, my venerable ones."

"Let these ants see... what the difference in strength really is!"

The moment the words fell, the five Heavenly Hammer Venerables immediately took a step forward!

Noticing their movements, Tony didn't hesitate and immediately opened fire!

Boom boom boom!

The energy cannon slammed down on the Heavenly Hammer Venerables.

Tony thought that even if this level of heavy weaponry bombardment couldn't instantly kill these monsters, it would at least severely injure them.

But as it turns out, he was overthinking it.

"Overestimating yourself!" Original Sin's eyes gleamed with excitement.

She and the controlled Namo exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their heavenly hammers high.

The Hammer of the Seabreaker unleashed a colossal wave that loomed over Kur's army like a dome.

Skadi's Hammer instantly froze the giant wave, forming a thick protective layer of ice.

"Don't even think about it!" Faced with the combined forces of Original Sin and Namor, Daisy and Natasha exchanged a glance and then launched a counterattack.

Natasha used the power of the Great Mouth True God Fruit to condense hard, thick ice spikes in an attempt to destroy the integrity of the ice layer.

Daisy, using the recoil force, instantly rushed onto the ice, covered it with her hands, and with the full power of her shockwave ability, shattered the frozen ice in an instant.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the two, Mark's laser cannons were able to land squarely in Kur's camp.

Large numbers of Talokan soldiers were bombarded and cried out in pain, but in stark contrast to them, and what made the Avengers present look grave, was—

Those Heavenly Hammer Venerables, these monsters, completely ignored the output of those powerful energy cannons thanks to their divine armor!

An energy cannon, powerful enough to destroy a building in an instant, struck their bodies but left not even a faint white mark!

"How dare you harm my people!"

Namor, whose eyes were bloodshot from being influenced by "The Seabreaker" Nekod, plunged into the water.

Underwater, his speed was practically teleportation.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Daisy, who was falling from the sky, and raised the Hammer of the Seabreaker high in his hand.

Daisy's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously mobilized her still-unskilled Three-Part Returning Qi in combination with her shockwave ability to defend herself.

However, she ultimately overestimated her current abilities. The moment the hammer made contact with her palms, her shockwave ability shattered like fragile glass.

Daisy was also blown heavily to the ground by the hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"You're next!"

At the same moment Daisy was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Namor, Natasha's wolf ears twitched. Without thinking, she slapped her back with a claw, only to collide head-on with Skadi's Hammer of Original Sin.
