I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 471 Offense and Defense

The summit of Amblena.

Erin's gaze followed the bright moonlight, piercing through the clouds, and landed on the scattered dark shadows around Mount Amblena. He said softly, "They've arrived."

About seven or eight meters away from Arlin, Tony Stark, wrapped in a blanket and yawning sleepily by the warm fireplace, perked up immediately upon hearing this and his eyes widened.

"They're here? Are there really any fearless guys out there who dare attack this weapon of war, armed from head to toe?"

Although Tony only spent less than a day on Amblerne Peak, known as the "Sword of Dawn," he could still sense the terrifying power of the silvery-white metallic mountain beneath his feet.

A war fortress of this caliber cannot be captured by manpower alone.

If even an outsider like myself can see it, surely those other people wouldn't be unaware of it?

"fear death?"

"For those whose minds have already been corrupted by the power of the evil god, it's uncertain whether they even have the feeling of fear anymore."

After saying that, Erin looked at the small black dots below and said, "Moreover, these are just bait placed out to attract attention."

bait?

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark showed a thoughtful expression.

If it's just bait, then that's more like it.

Otherwise, with just those people below, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through the first line of defense on Mount Amblena.

but.

By giving half a day's notice, you can accurately predict all of this and make ample preparations.

How come Erin's divination skills are getting more and more bizarre?

and many more.

In that case, did this kid already know that I secretly designed and built that "Anti-Erin Armor" model?

Thinking about this.

Tony Stark's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance guiltily at Arryn, who had his back to him.

It seems that what we fear most is what is most likely to happen.

Arryn, with his back to Tony Stark, did not turn around.

But as if he had already seen through everything, he said calmly:

"Don't look at me like that. I don't care about that white 'Anti-Erin Armor' model you're hiding in the basement of that villa on the Malibu coastline."

"Because the suit of armor you designed is no match for me."

"But honestly, couldn't you have come up with a better name? 'Anti-Arlin Armor' is such a lame name."

Goodness, this guy really knew.

Tony Stark's lips twitched as he looked at Arryn, who had his back to him.

At this moment, he really wanted to complain.

[If you're really not going to talk, why do you even know the color of my "Anti-Erin Armor"? Have you secretly gone to my house to check it out behind my back?]

However, thinking that it was a bit underhanded of him to design an "Anti-Arryn Armor" behind Arryn's back, Tony Stark, feeling a little guilty, didn't say anything this time.

"Hahaha······"

After giving an awkward laugh, Tony, feeling slightly uncomfortable, pressed the switch on the silver briefcase beside him and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Um... those enemies down there are practically right in our faces. I'll go down and check on those dwarves. Why haven't they made a move yet..."

Tony Stark had barely finished speaking.

Under the cover of night, Mount Amblena suddenly lit up with an energy halo from bottom to top.

From a distance, it looked as if a giant sword of light had risen from the earth under the night sky, piercing the clouds in an instant.

Followed by.

Suddenly, beams of relatively "tiny" light shot out from this enormous "lightsword".

To be precise, this is not a beam of light, but rather the energy projectiles fired from the menacing muzzles of Mount Amblena after being charged.

Hundreds of dense energy cannons ripped through the sky and instantly landed on the figure that was like a swarm of locusts, surrounding Amburna Peak from all directions.

In an instant.

The deafening roar of artillery fire echoed through the sky.

Even the void itself trembled under the incessant roar.

The summit of Amblena.

Tony Stark, who was just about to make an excuse to go down and take a look, had a sudden change of expression when he saw the fierce artillery barrage.

Already donning his Mark armor, he swiftly flew to the edge of Amblena Peak, using the armor's camera to capture the battle under the cover of night.

The first wave of intense firing from thousands of energy cannons was not the end.

Rather, it is... a beginning.

Not long after the first wave of attacks landed.

Once the Amblena peak had recharged, a second wave of attack was quickly launched.

Immediately, artillery fire erupted.

After powerful energy beams struck the ground, they blasted large craters into the ground around Amburna Peak.

Many of the shadowy figures hit by the energy cannons didn't even have time to react before being vaporized and evaporated by the terrifying attack.

Those energy shots vaporized a large number of enemies.

It crashed down onto the earth with undiminished force.

In an instant, the burst of energy caused severe secondary damage.

In an instant, rocks flew through the air, and fragments of stone flew everywhere.

Those enemies who were lucky enough to escape the energy cannon's name didn't even have time to feel fortunate before they were riddled with holes by the ensuing energy shockwave and the flying debris that was as powerful as cannonballs.

The scene was so tragic.

Compared to those enemies who were directly vaporized, those hit by the aftershocks seemed to be even more unlucky.

"this······"

Looking down at the ground instantly stained red with blood, Tony opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Stop your pity. Those on the ground corrupted by the power of the evil god are no longer human."

"For them, sometimes death is a relief."

As Erin spoke, the high-definition camera on Mark's armor captured the ground below, where the shredded corpses, riddled with bullets and reduced to mangled remains, were writhing in a bizarre manner.

Then they intertwined.

They turned into bloody monsters.

Then, with an even more frenzied and terrifying momentum, it launched an even more frenzied charge towards Amblena Peak.

Although there weren't many of these mutated monsters on the battlefield below, the bizarre scene sent chills down Tony Stark's spine.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of what Erin had said.

indeed.

This kind of monster probably can no longer be considered human.

Sensing the heavy mood emanating from Tony Stark, Arryn didn't say anything more.

Instead, he used the [Russell Flight Technique] to fly up to the Eternal Lighthouse and gently touched the blazing flame of civilization.

next second.

That tiny flame of civilization, no bigger than a fist, shone brightly, its light spreading in all directions.

In an instant, it illuminated the pitch-black night sky as if it were daytime.

Under the illumination of that flame of civilization.

On the battlefield of Amblena Peak, with the deaths of those who had fallen, strands of accumulated corrupt power were directly illuminated by the light of civilization.

Then it is ignited and burned out.

The Fallen Ones' plan to replicate the Dwarven capital's strategy—to trigger the Dream Catastrophe with the deaths of a large number of Corrupted Ones—was annihilated before it could even begin, illuminated by the flames of civilization.

not only that.

Bathed in the light of civilization, Tony Stark, and the dwarven warriors guarding Ambler Peak, were almost enveloped in a faint, grey glow.

Then it was extinguished and purified by the light of civilization.

Although the battle has only just begun, their minds have already been unknowingly corrupted by some unknown source.

In contrast to the purified dwarves, the monsters charging towards Mount Amburna seemed to be burned by flames under the light of civilization.

A large amount of black smoke billowed from its body.

Behind the crowd, a few dwarves who had not yet been completely corrupted by the power of the evil god seemed to have a glimmer of clarity in their eyes under the light of civilization.

·······

"Pfft!"

Inside that underground passage leading directly into the interior of Mount Amblena.

A figure wearing a hood suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood the moment the flame of civilization illuminated the surroundings.

"Help...help me!"

As if sensing something, just as a sliver of his face, shrouded in the shadow of the hood, peeked out, he seemed to be trying to call for help from his companions.

A terrifying white flame burst forth from the inside out within his body.

"retreat!"

With a sharp shout, the others who were originally surrounding that figure were instantly forced back dozens of meters.

And just then...

The figure that emitted a white flame from its body was instantly reduced to ashes.

"This flame... what a terrifying backlash..."

Looking at his dead companion.

After a brief silence, these hooded figures set off again.

However, compared to their previous ease and confidence, these figures seemed to have gained a bit more solemnity.

······

the other side.

The light of civilization burst forth instantly, extinguishing the unknown fire that had enveloped the entire battlefield and seemed to be using the battlefield as an altar.

Arryn leaped from the Tower of Eternity.

He quickly turned to Tony Stark beside him and said, "I'm going downstairs for a bit. Could you watch over this place for me?"

Without waiting for Tony's reply.

Erin's figure suddenly blurred and then completely disappeared from the Mark armor's sight.

Ok? ? ?

Looking inside the Mark armor, where neither physical imaging, thermal imaging, nor radar scanning could detect the slightest trace, Tony gritted his teeth.

"Great, once we get back to Earth, I'll give the Mark Armor a major upgrade..."

······

And not long after Erin disappeared.

The polluters, who seemed to have suffered devastating damage amidst the artillery fire on Amblena Peak, also launched a counterattack.

One by one, they were brought to the makeshift artillery positions on the battlefield by their brute force.

Upon reaching their designated position, they launched an attack on Amburna Peak, which was within firing range, as well as the dwarf warriors guarding the area around it.

at the same time.

At a greater distance.

A war machine, about 100 meters in size, unveiled itself after a long period of charging.

next second.

A crimson beam of light, more than three meters in diameter, instantly pierced the sky and shot towards the towering Amblena peak.

"Buzz!"

Just as the enormous beam of energy, which had pierced the sky and stretched for tens of miles, was about to strike Amburna Peak.

A pale blue energy shield suddenly appeared.

They intercepted all the artillery fire aimed at Amburna Peak, as well as the crimson energy beam that stretched for miles.

"Energy Shield No. 1 is consuming 23%, 24%..."

"Energy consumption continues to increase. Activate Energy Shield #2. Energy Shield #3 is ready..."

"Energy Shield No. 2 successfully activated; Energy Shield No. 3 is ready."

Inside Amblena Peak, facing the enemy's counterattack.

With Erin's reminder, the dwarves, who had made ample preparations, dealt with the situation in an orderly manner.

This meant that the enemy's counterattacks, aside from consuming some of the Dawnbreaker Sword's energy reserves, did not harm them in the slightest.

After witnessing this scene.

Tony Stark, atop Amblerne, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

······

Meanwhile.

A hundred meters below the Amblerne peak, a red light suddenly illuminated an almost forgotten iron gate, covered in rust and cobwebs.

Not long after.

The iron gate, which had existed for countless years and was thirty centimeters thick, was cut open by the red light, creating a "口"-shaped gap.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the massive, multi-ton "口"-shaped door panel was kicked several meters away.

"Crackling and popping!"

After smashing a bunch of things, the door panel that was kicked away made a dent in the ground and caused a tremor.

The abandoned basement shook slightly.

Followed by.

A young dwarf with bulging muscles and explosive power poked his head out from the hole that was still radiating heat under the red light.

After scanning around.

Finding nothing unusual in the abandoned room, he strode through the cut hole and into the abandoned ground floor room beneath Mount Amblena.

"Sir, no problem."

After the young dwarf investigated and found nothing wrong, the figures following behind him entered the abandoned room one after another.

soon.

A dozen or so hooded figures quickly passed through the broken iron gate and entered the interior of Mount Amblena.

After entering the interior of Amblena Peak.

The hooded man at the head of the group took out a timer from his pocket, glanced at it, and quickly said, "There are thirteen minutes left until the agreed time. We must get to the energy room before then and use the energy stored in the 'Dawn Sword' itself to destroy it."
