I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 314 The Closed Portal and the Coming Nuclear Bomb

This scene.

It brought them a tremendous spiritual shock.

It also gave them a strange sense of powerlessness.

Even Thor, who is always confident in his own strength, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

This guy.

So, was your request for my help just to comfort us and make us feel valued?

·······

the other side.

After confirming that the Twisted Shadow was truly dead, an extreme sense of exhaustion suddenly surged from every corner of Erin's body.

Those hundreds of time rewinds just now seem simple.

But in reality, it was a heavy burden for both Arryn and the weathered Loki.

The repeated high-intensity battles that required him to give his all had long since exhausted Erin's spirit, leaving him physically and mentally drained.

It can be said.

This battle was the most insane and intense battle Erin had ever experienced.

If it weren't for the remaining danger that kept Erin energized, he would have already passed out.

If Arryn is in such a state, then Loki, who keeps rewinding time, is in an even worse situation.

Those final few times of time travel.

Arlin's spiritual vision even revealed that dense, fine cracks were beginning to appear on Loki's spirit body.

I forced myself to stay awake despite my exhaustion.

Erin walked to the "pure land" that looked like crystal and picked up seven tiny grains of ash from the ground.

This is the remnant left after the Twisted Shadow was burned away by the Holy Light Judgment.

Although Erin didn't know what use it was, he instinctively sensed its extraordinary nature.

After Erin carefully collected the few specks of Shadow Dust...

Natasha and Tony Stark walked over from not far away.

Before he even arrived, Tony shouted, "Erlin, is that monster really dead?"

After glancing at Tony, Erin said, "That abomination is dead, but the crisis in New York is far from over."

"??? You mean those Chitauri are up to no good?"

As he spoke, Tony looked up at the sky.

After the Fallen Child died completely, the eerie night that had shrouded New York also vanished.

The only unusual sight in the skies above New York now is that spatial portal, less than ten meters in diameter.

Through the crack in the portal, Tony could vaguely see a cold, impersonal spaceship peering at Earth from behind it.

However, before Tony Stark could even take a few more glances...

The portal to the scattered space collapsed completely.

Ok? ? ?

Just as Tony was looking on with a puzzled expression, Erin said calmly, "Sometimes, crises don't necessarily come from the outside."

As he spoke, Erin looked up at the sky, which had become somewhat hazy due to the excessive smoke of battle.

In fact.

Before making a move against the distorted shadow, Erin had a vague vision of spirituality.

·······

A supersonic fighter jet, after reaching its designated location, launched a nuclear missile toward New York, then accelerated back to base without looking back.

Behind him, a nuclear bomb spewing flames was hurtling across a turbulent river toward the heart of New York.

Its destination was Manhattan, which was once incredibly prosperous but is now reduced to ruins.

·······

Just like the original trajectory of the world, those politicians who held supreme power felt threatened by the Chitauri and that terrifying abomination.

While shouting slogans about the safety of citizens, they actually prioritized their own safety and unhesitatingly launched a nuclear bomb at New York, a megacity with a population of over ten million, with a nuclear warhead capable of killing all the citizens of New York.

And even worse.

With the portal over New York closing, this time, there were no Chitauri to help New York swallow the bitter pill of a nuclear bomb launched by the federal government itself.

"What do you mean?"

Just as Tony was somewhat bewildered...

Suddenly, Coulson's voice came through Natasha's earphones.

"Natasha, listen, I just received news that a warplane carrying a nuclear warhead has just launched a nuclear missile at Manhattan. There are still a little over two minutes until the explosion. If possible, have Thor fly you out of New York. That way, you might still have a chance to survive..."

Done.

Coulson, standing atop Stark Tower, hung up the phone without asking Natasha to let Thor take him with him when he left.

Because Coulson knew very well that the so-called Thor was not as powerful as people imagined.

Its hammer couldn't carry so many people away from New York in such a short time.

The consequences of my actions might actually make it impossible for anyone to escape this disaster.

In the final moments of his life, Coulson turned on his phone's video recording function and made a final video for his family and his cello girlfriend, whom he had only recently started dating.

And behind Coulson.

The other two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were doing something similar to Coulson's.

As elite agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., they knew very well that evacuating New York or finding a safe haven from a nuclear bomb in just over two minutes was an impossible task.

So instead of wasting time, they might as well use their last moments to leave something for their families.

One of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who was born an orphan, transferred all his savings online to the orphanage director who raised him.

He also noted his last words.

This might be the only thing I can do for that stubborn old dean in my entire life!

I wonder if that stubborn old man was saddened after receiving news of his own death.

·······

the other side.

When Coulson's words reached the ears of the others, everyone except Thor, who didn't know much about nuclear weapons, fell silent.

Tony and the others immediately understood what Erin meant by what he had just said.

"Launching a nuclear missile at New York? Have those guys gone mad? New York has at least tens of millions of people! The war is over, why would they do that?!"

Dr. Banner, who had already regained his human form after dying in the Twisted Shadow, instantly transformed back into his Hulk form in a fit of rage upon hearing this news.

Among those present, Tony Stark, who knew those politicians best, said with a grim expression:

"They may have launched nuclear missiles before the war was over. Believe me, those damn politicians are capable of doing something like that."

After Thor finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

Seeing the somber expressions on everyone else's faces, Thor asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's with those expressions? Was that nuclear bomb really that powerful?"

"Of course, nuclear bombs are the most powerful weapons mankind can use. To see how powerful they are, you can refer to the intercontinental ballistic missile that exploded in the town of Puens last time. Well, nuclear bombs are at least ten times more powerful than that intercontinental ballistic missile."

"Walter?"

Thor's eyes widened immediately upon learning of the power of a nuclear bomb from Tony.

He doesn't know much about Earth's weapons, but he knows a lot about the power of the intercontinental ballistic missile that he once smashed!

If that intercontinental ballistic missile nearly razed the town of Puens to the ground for miles around, then how terrifying must this nuclear bomb, which is ten times more powerful than an intercontinental ballistic missile, be?

By launching such terrifying and destructive weapons at their own territory, do the rulers of the Earth have absolutely no regard for the lives of civilians?

This behavior is even more brutal than that of the most tyrannical rulers in the Nine Realms.

·······

"Hey, instead of just standing there, you guys should think about how to deal with that nuclear bomb."

Seeing the superheroes fall silent, Erin had to speak up to remind them.

"Do you have a solution to nuclear bombs?"

Upon hearing Erin's words, Thor and the others immediately looked up, staring intently at Erin.

Erin's powerful performance in decisively defeating the Twisted Shadow after her appearance had left a deep impression on them, so when Erin spoke, they subconsciously placed their hopes on her.

"I do have a solution, but I can't guarantee whether I can pull it off."

As he spoke, Erin turned his gaze to Thor and quickly said, "Thor, since Odin, the king of the gods, is watching this place, why don't you try to ask your father to use the Bifrost to teleport that missile that is about to land in New York to some other uninhabited area or uninhabited planet?"

As soon as Arlin finished speaking, Thor's eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly, "I'll give it a try."

Thor then walked to an open space and loudly summoned Heimdall, the gatekeeper of Asgard, towards the sky.

While Thor relayed the request to Heimdall and Odin, the king of the gods, Erin said to Natasha beside him, "Immediately send someone to Greenwich Village, 177A Black Street. If there are people there, have them send a mage who can open a portal to teleport that nuclear bomb that is about to explode in New York to the no-man's-land."

"Yes, the people at 177A Black Street are all mages with extraordinary powers, so you'd better be polite and shrewd when you send someone over. Otherwise, it's a small matter if he gets scolded, but if it delays things, that would be terrible!"

Portal.

Natasha and the others, who had just closed a portal, understood what Erin wanted to do the moment they heard that word.

Natasha's eyes lit up, and she said "I understand."

He immediately contacted the wireless earphones.

Upon hearing Erin's two methods, Tony Stark, who seemed much more relaxed, curled his lip and said, "Is this the circle of you wizards? Looks like I might have the chance to visit 177A Black Street sometime."

"A visit? For the mystical side, there are plenty of ways to avoid being disturbed. It might even be a question whether the address 177A Black Street will still exist after this."

After glancing at Tony Stark, Erin's eyes lit up, and he immediately continued, "Those two methods we just discussed aren't necessarily foolproof, so while we still have time, we'd better make this public so that everyone can use this time to find shelter as much as possible. Oh, and while we're making this public, don't forget to give those politicians a shout-out."

In the original story, Tony and his crew fought a bloody and valiant battle to win the war, even dropping a nuclear bomb into the Chitauri stronghold, severely damaging this alien force that had been eyeing Earth.

But in the end, the politicians completely absolved the company of any credit.

Some politicians have even described them as a source of instability and danger.

They made no mention of the time they launched missiles at New York.

Under the government's frenzied propaganda, even some uninformed people were successfully misled by those hypocritical politicians.

Erin had no intention of doing something so thankless and exhausting.

Therefore, Erin felt it necessary to remind people of the "contributions" of those politicians.

Tony Stark instantly understood the hidden meaning in Arryn's last sentence.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Tony Stark was also seething with anger at those ruthless politicians.

If it weren't for those damned politicians who had desperately repelled the Chitauri and even dealt with a divine abomination, they would probably be popping champagne to celebrate their victory.

Why would we need to face the threat of nuclear weapons with such fear as we do now?

Thinking of this, Tony immediately pulled out a tablet computer he had taken from the Quinjet and connected it to Jarvis.

"Jarvis, immediately hack into all the radio stations and big screens in New York that are still functioning, and announce that the federal government has launched a nuclear missile toward New York, reminding New Yorkers to find air-raid shelters to avoid the impending nuclear impact."

"Oh, and while announcing this news, also announce that we have defeated the Chitauri and won the war..."

Jarvis: "Intrusion in progress... Ding, we have detected that major newspaper groups such as the Global Times are reporting the victory of the Battle of New York via satellite broadcast, attracting the attention of countless IP addresses in New York. Do you want to connect with these newspapers to publish this news? According to calculations, that would allow us to spread the news much faster."

Upon hearing Jarvis's words, Tony gritted his teeth and said directly, "Don't connect, just hack into them."

Jarvis: "Roger that."

No one knew these newspapers better than Tony Stark.

For such a major event, the newspapers would certainly consult their superiors.

Under pressure from the federal government, whether newspaper owners can withstand the pressure to publish this matter is uncertain; the sheer amount of time spent just getting approval for this task will be wasted.

maybe.

Before they could finish asking for instructions, the impending nuclear bomb had already exploded.

In that case, what's the point of connecting at all!

Therefore, Tony Stark directly ordered Jarvis to hack into the live broadcasts of those major newspapers.
