Xinian and Lorna, walking side by side, raised their hands in perfect unison.

next moment.

Within a hundred meters of Xinian and Lorna, all the metal debris—steel bars, iron sheets, decking, screws, and even the remains of the steel soldier that had just disintegrated—trembled and flew up!

Then, the two raised their hands and clasped together, the green light surrounding their hands also merging with each other.

While the Hulk was still in the air, all the metal debris rushed towards it. The green body transformed into a giant magnet, and the metal quickly covered its body, with a large amount of the remaining debris continuing to adhere and pile up on top of it!

About three seconds.

A giant metal sphere, about ten meters in radius, formed from numerous pieces of metal debris, hangs in the air!

Thor stopped just in time, staring with a chill down his spine at the Hulk's trapped sphere. If he hadn't gripped his hammer so tightly, Stormbreaker might have been sent flying to add fuel to the fire...

As Xinian and Lorna pressed down with their clasped hands, the metal sphere accelerated and crashed into the ground in front of them, embedding itself deeply into the earth!

Click!

An open space in the city center suddenly burst open, and a metal sphere crashed down with a loud bang, while a bright light emanated from beneath the ground!

Deep underground, there are ultra-modern fortress buildings, their lights shining brightly in the darkness.

"What is that..." Iron Man and Thor were both stunned.

Beneath the surface of a poor, small country's city lies a massive factory fortress?!

"As expected." Xinian and Lorna exchanged a glance, their faces showing realization beneath their battle suits.

Beneath Sokovia lies a secret underground fortress built by Hydra.

Judging by its size, it must be one of the largest among Hydra's many fortified bases!

Tony Stark understood something too, muttering to himself, "This is why Ultron chose this place."

Boom!!

The shocking changes continue!

The moment the metal sphere slammed into the city, the entire city began to shake violently!

Terrifying, crisscrossing earthquake cracks appeared on the city's outskirts!

Om-!

Every survivor in the city could clearly feel the heaviness when riding the elevator!

The city is rising!

Chapter 350, The Battle Situation Takes a Sudden Turn

Sokovia, on the outskirts of the city.

Pietro and a large group of locals evacuated to this place, but at that moment, the city grounds suddenly and violently trembled and shook!

The earthquake, which was of magnitude six or seven, caused many people to lose their footing and fall to the ground.

And this is just the prelude to a hellish start!

Click!

A deep, long crack suddenly appeared in the ground on the city's outer edge. Buildings collapsed, railway tracks snapped, and utility poles fell. The enormous crack, resembling an abyss, stretched outwards infinitely, drawing a circle that encircled the entire city!

"This is...!" Pietro's mouth dropped open, his pupils contracting in surprise.

The next instant.

The city where everyone was located seemed to rise upwards, while the suburbs and fields outside the inner city fell downwards!

Everyone can clearly feel that this city is currently soaring into the sky!

In less than ten seconds, it had already risen to a height of nearly 100 meters!

The previously stable battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

ground.

"Oh my god!"

They were driving around looking for the local thugs who had abducted the flower-selling girls, but to no avail. They were stunned as they prepared to return to Sokovia.

The car suddenly braked and came to a stop in place.

The bald, burly man driving the jeep instinctively got out of the vehicle. He glanced at the ground ahead and saw a huge crater, resembling the impact of a meteorite, which he estimated to be two or three kilometers in diameter.

He glanced up again and saw five giant energy engines at the bottom, spewing out five blinding plumes of flame as the city of Sokovia continued to rise and ascend. He thought he was dreaming.

Small country cities, like rockets, have flown away!

……

The center of the battle.

Thor stared at the approaching sun and roared, "What does it want to do?"

“I think I know what it’s going to do.” Tony Stark, who knew his son better than anyone else, had a bitter smile on his face.

"Ultron's core program went to extremes. Following the principle of protecting the Earth, it concluded that humanity was the greatest threat to the planet."

"You mean..." Thor's resolute, bearded face showed emotion, his eyes flashing with lightning and surprise.

“That’s right, it wants to destroy all of humanity and bring about a restart of life on Earth.” Tony Stark sighed with deep regret and remorse, “And now, it has clearly found a solution: to fly the entire city to near-space altitude, then accelerate downwards in a counter-force, making it crash into Earth like a meteorite and destroy the world!”

Thor shouted, "Tony, we have to stop it right now!"

"Of course. I've already notified the newly reactivated S.H.I.E.L.D. and asked them to send support air force to safely evacuate the residents of this city!"

Iron Man responded calmly and methodically.

"It's good that you have a plan." Thor breathed a sigh of relief.

But no one noticed that inside the Mark-type nanotech armor, the usually composed playboy was now incredibly pale.

Clearly, he wasn't as calm and composed as he appeared on the surface.

Thor was still too slow-witted and failed to understand the meaning behind Tony Stark's words.

Iron Man's immediate order for S.H.I.E.L.D. to evacuate the civilians was actually a preparation for the worst, a plan to completely abandon the city!

It's not that Iron Man isn't smart enough.

It just so happens that he is smart enough!

Therefore, Iron Man Tony Stark is very clear that even with the current Avengers, including himself, Thor, Hulk, and S.H.I.E.L.D. as the super-logistics team, there is no possibility of perfectly saving the city!

If we also consider Ultron, who is lurking in the shadows...

The fact that they were able to rescue 90% of the city's residents is already one of the best outcomes!

Iron Man sighed inwardly.

He seemed to remember something and subconsciously turned his gaze to the mysterious duo not far away, but he didn't hold out much hope.

The enemy may be powerful, but the current crisis is far more troublesome than that of the Iron Legion; the difficulty is on a completely different level!

……

"Little brother, what do we do now?"

Lorna looked at the boy covered in a nano-metal suit beside her: "Even if we join forces and use our abilities, it will be difficult to control the entire braked city."

This is an entire city, more than hundreds of passenger ships and thousands of airplanes can compare to!

Inside his battle suit, hope Nian's eyes shone brightly as he gazed at the sky, which had already risen to a height of about three hundred meters.

hope Nian pondered, "Alice, since this city is powered by engines, it must have a central control system. Can we hack into it?"

"It's already being tried."

After a few seconds of silence, the AI ​​Alice quickly said, "The central system is another AI. Its computing power is stronger than mine, so it's impossible to break through in a short time."

"Another artificial intelligence?"

hope Nian now knew who the biggest enemy in this incident was.

hum!

The sounds of numerous aircraft braking suddenly came from high above on one side of the city.

Xinian and Lorna glanced to the side and saw a cluster of fighter jets and transport aircraft surrounding a giant aircraft carrier, which was approaching the ever-rising Sokovia!

"A new S.H.I.E.L.D."

hope Nian's eyes flashed with a strange light; he recognized her at a glance.

After all, that giant aircraft carrier was the same type of carrier that he had shattered at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters three years ago.

at the same time.

A sharp, buzzing sound rang out from the hole in the ground that the metal sphere had pierced.

You'll see it when you turn around.

A dozen white, semi-transparent steel soldiers flew out and rushed toward Thor, Iron Man, and Xinian and Lorna who were standing together!

"Go away!"

Lorna shouted angrily and waved her right hand, causing a surge of emerald green magnetic field to erupt outwards!

To Lorna's surprise, the five steel soldiers that flew forward did not react at all, nor did they launch an attack; they simply pounced forward recklessly!

hope Nian reacted extremely quickly, pointing his finger and sending a vibranium plate flying, piercing through the energy bars in the chests of two steel soldiers!

The other three steel soldiers continued to charge forward. When they came within five meters, their energy tanks, engines, and even their eyes and mouths emitted blinding white light!

"careful!"

Xinian suddenly hugged Lorna, shielding her with his own body.

Lorna finally realized what was happening, and with a quick clasp of her hands, two pieces of sheet metal rolled up into a shield, which she used to block behind Xinian.

The next moment—

boom!!

The first steel soldier was the first to self-destruct, turning into a blinding white light. The intensely hot blast wave swept outwards, melting the iron sheets, crushing the soil and rocks, and destroying everything around it with a terrifying shockwave!
