Lord of Cinder in American Comics

The greedy man looked at Loki, spoke meaningfully, and then walked back into the darkness.

Loki clutched the Mind Control Scepter, seemingly lost in thought, but ultimately did not place his hand on the Tesseract.

On the battlefield at this moment, Ghidorah's Kevin head was continuously firing gravitational rays at Constantine and Midir in the sky, preventing them from interfering in the battle on the ground.

Godzilla and its counterparts, Number One and Number Two, took on the responsibility of fighting Godzilla. Number Two could no longer fire gravity beams, but it still had fangs for close-range attacks.

After a series of battles and attacks, Godzilla was overwhelmed. It could only rely on its physical strength to fight back, and Ghidorah didn't give it a chance to use its atomic breath, since it only had one mouth.

Rodan, the traitor, is interfering with Shana and Ash from the sky. If they can interrupt Godzilla's healing, Godzilla will only be defeated by King Ghidorah.

The greatest help that humans can provide is long-range fire support; any aircraft that gets too close will be attacked by lightning bolts summoned by King Ghidorah.

High-altitude bombing is also impractical; it might not hit Ghidorah and could even injure friendly forces. After all, Godzilla is the main force fighting Ghidorah right now.

Seeing the situation getting better and better, the traitor couldn't help but fly into the sky, as if he was enjoying the spoils of war ahead of time.

Shana Lot flew at a lower altitude than Rodan, and while dodging, Ash on her back continued to launch lightning spears at Rodan.

Such an attack was incredibly mocking. Rodan, like a predatory hawk, stared down at Shanalot, completely ignoring the shadows in the clouds ahead.

Rodan began its dive attack; apart from the foreign Ghidorah, no Titan could outpace the speed of the Sky King Rodan.

Rodan folded its wings, ready to strike Shanalot with pinpoint accuracy.

Only then did Rodon realize that there was also a butterfly-shaped shadow above his head.

In a panic, Rodan spread its wings and whipped up a storm in an attempt to lift itself up. But just like the initial part of the Cobra maneuver, it left its soft belly to Mothra, who had just arrived from the sky.

Mothra's tail spikes were aimed directly at Rodan, as if Rodan had directly rammed into them.

Rodan was completely pierced. It tried to flap its wings and fly away, but the crystals on its body were already too much for it to bear. The attack at this moment left it without even the strength to lift its wings.

Mothra's tail spikes churned mercilessly inside Rodan's body before letting it fall freely to the ground.

Shana Lotte looked at the appearing Mothra and made soft whimpering sounds to communicate with her. Ash, who was connected to Shana Lotte, also felt the warm maternal instinct emanating from Mothra.

For Shana, Mothra was like a mother to her.

'Why am I suddenly a generation shorter?'

Shana swayed her body, letting Ash think carefully about the next strategy.

“We can do it like this, like this, and like this again… You talk to Mothra properly, I’ll go tell Constantine…”

On the ground, Godzilla also sensed Mothra's arrival, after all, the king and queen are always one.

But Ghidorah is a different story. Once it defeats Godzilla, it will become the new ruler!

Mothra's voice came from the sky. It spread its wings and slowly landed on Godzilla's back.

Its enormous thoracic cavity can emit a beta bio-light wave, which is projected onto its complex wings, creating a dazzling "holy light" weapon.

So now King Ghidorah is fighting Godzilla as if it were under two giant searchlights.

Godzilla, carrying Mothra on its back, slowly retreated until it passed the male and female MUTOs who had just died.

This situation would only lead Ghidorah to believe that Godzilla had escaped, and it would naturally not let this opportunity pass, and would relentlessly pursue Godzilla.

Just as Ghidorah followed in Godzilla's footsteps and stepped onto the two MUTO bodies, the plan had already achieved its objective.

With Shana's help and support, Ash unleashed the Angelic Pillar.

The original angelic pillar of light only covered a small area centered on the caster, but now the indirect caster is Shanalot.

The angelic pillar of light that enveloped half the city, while not causing much damage, had a knockback effect that acted like a cage, imprisoning Ghidorah within it.

Next to make a move was Constantine, who was no longer bothered by Kevin.

Constantine held a short, all-black staff tied with damp strips of cloth. Around him, damp humanoid figures crawled out of the darkness, twisting and swirling around him.

After finishing his chant, Constantine pointed his short staff directly at the target below: the two Muto bodies.

As the short staff was swung, the wet humanoid figure leaped down from Midir, constructing a massive magic circle beneath the two Muto corpses.

As the magic circle was formed, Muto's corpse became increasingly unstable.

[The Animation of the Dead: A Blasphemous Miracle of the Black Church of Londor. It can bestow blessings upon corpses, transforming them into dark bombs. In Londor, the land of wandering spirits, the undead are the true human beings. Corpses, in the end, are merely products of incompatible living beings. Is there any need to hesitate to bestow blessings upon these corpses?]

The resurrection of the dead, or the corpse explosion spell, which was originally just a prank, now displayed its unparalleled power.

Darkness erupted from the corpses, devouring everything around it. The angelic pillar of light collided with the darkness, only causing an even more violent explosion.

Godzilla wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. With Mothra's blessing, it began to compress the atomic reactor within its body, mobilizing more energy to unleash atomic breath.

The attacks from all three sides reached their peak at this moment. Even when King Ghidorah used all its strength, its gravitational rays were simply overwhelmed by the attack.

The atomic breath gradually subsided, the darkness gradually dissipated, and the angelic pillar of light ceased to be generated, leaving only the central area enveloped by various energies.

However, golden light kept flashing through it, and Ghidorah's huge bat wings suddenly stretched out.

The Ghidorah was no longer as majestic as before. Kevin and Number Two's heads had turned to ashes, with only Number One's head barely remaining, bearing bloody wounds. Its body was covered with various wounds that could not heal.

Seeing that King Ghidorah was not dead, Godzilla was about to walk forward when Mothra behind him fell helplessly to the ground.

Godzilla's concern for Mothra prevented him from immediately confronting King Ghidorah, giving King Ghidorah the opportunity to take off.

King Ghidorah slowly flapped its wings, preparing to find an area to hide in for a while longer; it would surely return in triumph.

However, it suddenly fell to the ground, and wounds began to appear on its abdomen from the inside out. Finally, a blood-black slash ripped it open.

Chapter 411: Anxious Stark

In the office, Stark kept asking about the previous battle, trying to find some information that could distract him.

"The battle went smoothly. We teamed up to take down the monster called King Ghidorah, then fed our ally Godzilla a 100,000-ton weapon. Simple..."

Ash spoke lightly, but Stark, who had access to the video feed through the Control Bureau, only felt the oppressive presence of the Titan.

"And then what? Didn't they say there were aliens later on?"

"You think that a force and equipment that has gathered half the world's troops and equipment can't defeat those guys who rushed to Earth?"

"Um... does half the Earth's military force count as Godzilla?"

Stark pointed to the video showing Godzilla stepping on a Chiritar bio-weapon and then killing it with a breath attack.

Ash lay on the sofa and said, "Earth is Godzilla's territory. If an alien creature appears, it's bound to take action..."

"And what about these?"

Stark then showed the image to Ashe, which depicted other arriving Titans attacking the Chiretar. These included a mammoth without a trunk, a six-legged conch-like spider, and even a much larger MUTOR queen. They had all joined the fight against the Chiretar.

"Godzilla is the King of Monsters. If the boss is going to fight, wouldn't it be unreasonable for the underlings not to step in?"

"What happened to Thor after that? It's said he was stabbed in both kidneys. Didn't the other Asgardians come?"

Ash couldn't stand Stark's incessant chatter any longer. She had finally managed to have some free time after the battle, but now she had to deal with all sorts of questions from Stark.

Reaching under her head, Ash grabbed the pillow and tossed it at Stark, interrupting his question. "What you want to know is all in the Bureau of Control's intelligence records! You'd better calm down and not let your anxiety affect others!"

Stark wanted to say something more, but seeing Ash covering her ears, he shut his mouth.

Giant beasts fighting are nothing, alien attacks are nothing. Can any of that compare to the absurdity of his experiences?

For Stark, the challenges he faces are far more complex than the battles Ashe has experienced.

Having received news that Pepper and Fire Keeper had been kidnapped by Obadiah Stan, Ash, trusted by Stark, rushed to their former Malibu Beach residence as quickly as possible.

There, he saw Stan wearing a huge suit of metal armor, as well as Pepper and the Fire Keeper, who were imprisoned by Stan.

Stan's armor did not have an arc reactor; instead, it used energy crystals that emitted this blue light.

"Look! Tony, I can still build armor without you!"

Stan showed off his equipment, pointing his weapons at Pepper and the Fire Keeper behind him.

Stark hurried forward, but Stan's weapon aim forced him to stop.

Stark said, "Stan, I'm right here in front of you. Release them both!"

Stan poked his head out of the armor and looked at the anxious Stark, saying, "Look! Smart Iron Man, wouldn't he bring his armor?"

“I don’t believe you don’t know Jarvis has crashed. Without Jarvis’s data link, I can’t control any of the armors…”

Upon hearing this explanation, Stan brandished the machine gun on his arm, waving it back and forth, which made Stark's heart clench.

Stan said, "Who told you to put Jarvis's processor in Stark Tower... Luckily, I still have some connections there. But I didn't expect that your data backup was hidden in your own home and hadn't been migrated yet..."

Stan stomped his foot, revealing the floor of the mansion, now a ruin, beneath which lay Jarvis's data backup.

The mansion, now in ruins, was originally used as a cover, and no one would have guessed that Jarvis was still there beneath the rubble.

But who could have imagined that Stan would just attack directly, completely unaware that Stark's mansion had been destroyed, and thus, by sheer coincidence, he found Jarvis's backup.

Stark took a deep breath, looked at Stan, and said, "Let them go, and I'll give you whatever you want..."

"Give it to me? The entire Stark Industries should be mine! Without me, would Stark Industries be what it is today?"

Speaking of these things, Stan became extremely excited, and the multi-barreled machine gun in his hand began to spin and warm up.

"Calm down! Calm down! They're all yours! They're all yours! I'm right in front of you, let's settle this. Just let them go!"

Stark opened his arms and moved closer to Stan.

However, Stan remained unmoved and turned the weapon he was aiming at Stark towards Pepper and Fire Keeper behind him.

Stan smiled maliciously and said, "I know that priest is tied up. It's just you and me here. Now let me see how you'll feel when they die in front of you, and how you'll explain it to that priest!"

Stan was about to fire the machine gun when Stark, in a panic, reached out to stop it. As a weapons expert, his mind went blank; he had forgotten the machine gun's power and simply stood in front of Pepper.

However, after waiting for a long time, the sound of machine guns firing did not come.

Stark slowly opened his eyes, only to see Stan, who had lost his mind.

When he turned around, he only saw the fleeting phantom of the Fire Keeper's scythe in her hand, followed by Pepper's action of throwing a defensive spell at him. Before Stark could react, he was greeted by Pepper's touching embrace.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that this kidnapping was just a ploy by Pepper to test him. After all, when a woman has a relationship but no official status, she'll always have more to think about...

Even after returning to New York, he was still reeling from the shocking news.

"You know what? You won't believe it..."

Stark muttered to himself, a mixture of doubt and joy, worry and melancholy, which made Ash, standing beside him, unable to contain his complex emotions.
