Chapter 360: War Breaks Out
🕑 Added 2025-09-04 02:09:45 +0000 UTCThe scene today will likely be remembered forever, whether by the New York citizens who clearly watched everything from hundreds or thousands of meters away, or by those across the world who happened to turn on their TVs and computers. No one will likely forget what
happened today!
This is the convenience brought by the information age, especially since some media outlets and countries even moved their satellites to ensure everyone witnessed this terrifying sight!
New York was in chaos. Even if the aliens' impact was only above Manhattan Island, their appearance had
already completely exceeded all speculation!
"Damn it! How is this possible?"
The people gathered at the port suddenly went mad. Now they seemed to somewhat understand why they were told to evacuate quickly!
But thinking back to how they had initially disregarded it, even considering it an unreasonable fuss that kept them all stranded here, they felt an inexpressible regret.
Now, each of them desperately wanted to escape this dreadful place, but in this situation, whoever panicked first would surely die!
With so many people huddled together, a stampede would have unimaginable consequences. Of course, if it truly came to a certain point, no amount of composure would matter.
The crowd gathered at this port had reached its limit, and no one could say what would happen if things continued like this!
The people maintaining order began to get nervous.
Those who had initially complained about not being able to get to the innermost areas secretly felt lucky, and many of them had already left.
"Look up! It's Iron Man!"
Just as the crowd was on the verge of commotion, someone suddenly shouted, instantly shifting everyone's attention.
Sure enough, at this most chilling moment, a red figure emerged from the distance and, without hesitation, attacked the suddenly appearing aliens!
Clearly, this was Tony. His appearance immediately sparked cheers from everyone, and his firepower was intense enough.
Though he was alone, his improved armor, working with magic and new elements, managed to temporarily block many Chitauri at the wormhole's entrance.
However, the enemy's numbers were simply too vast, and their firepower was also extremely strong. Inevitably, many Chitauri still rushed into the city and immediately began widespread destruction!
Watching the explosions and the continuously collapsing buildings, the cheering crowd could no longer cheer. Even as new aircraft, whose names even Justin Hammer couldn't identify, swarmed in one after another, they felt no sense of security!
It was too terrifying. These aliens were truly horrifying, especially when giant mechanical worms, roughly forty to fifty meters long, emerged from the wormhole.
Everyone on Earth watching the live broadcast fell silent.
A thought of "the world is ending" spread through their minds, especially since this year was the legendary "2012"the supposed year of Earth's destruction!
At this point, no one could remain calm. They were all silently praying, hoping that everything was just a nightmare, but clearly, it wasn't a nightmare; it was all real.
"How truly spectacular."
Noah stood on Stark Tower, silently watching the scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He had been deeply shaken when he watched the movie before. Although the film didn't explicitly state the casualties of this invasion, it seemed these Chitauri were foolishly contained by a few Avengers throughout. In reality, it was likely that every capable person in New York participated.
Noah remembered that during the most dangerous moments, firefighters even came out to rescue people. Moreover, later in the plot, it was clear that this "Battle of New York" caused unimaginable casualties and impact.
But this time, Noah had already evacuated people in advance, so casualties could be reduced by at least eighty percent or more. As for property damage...
"What does that have to do with me? If you're so capable, come find me for trouble! I haven't even charged you for the wizards' intervention fees, so you're lucky."
Seeing that Tony and the others had fully engaged with the aliens, Noah decided to act.
He slightly raised his head, gazing at the wormhole radiating spatial energy. He seemed to want to look through the wormhole to see the world beyond.
However, Noah quickly backed down. Beyond the wormhole, besides the countless Chitauri army, there was also a super powerful boss standing there. Noah wasn't timid, but he wasn't reckless either. At the very least, he wouldn't foolishly attempt an impossible challenge though a cross-level challenge might be worth a try.
"Thor, go support them." Noah casually opened a portal, but then he remembered Thor, who was still on standby: "I guess you've been itching for a fight, haven't you?"
"Of course." Thor chuckled: "I love battle, especially
against these repulsive invaders."
"Go." Noah smiled, but didn't forget to remind him: "Keep the Tesseract with you, and keep an eye on Loki. Don't let him 'wander' alone again."
With those words, Noah directly stepped through the portal, leaving Thor with a helpless expression.
Thor naturally understood Noah's meaning; clearly, Noah wasn't entirely at ease with Loki. In fact, Thor himself felt somewhat similar, although his heart still unconditionally trusted his brother.
"Alright, first I'll deal with these annoying guys, and then
I'll meet up with Loki."
Thor quickly made a decision. With a flick of his hand, a hammer flew directly from the ground into his grasp.
The next moment, Thor's entire body glowed with silver lightning arcs, and with a terrifying thunderclap, Thor instantly vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was hovering in mid-air above Manhattan Island!
At this moment, Thor had completely surpassed his original self. After being disciplined by Noah a few years ago and receiving Noah's guidance, he had understood the true source of his powers. Coupled with the impact of Loki's 'suicide' at the time, Thor truly believed Loki was dead this grief was transformed into motivation.
After seeking proper guidance from his father, Thor's progress was incredibly fast! A few years ago, he was only at rank six, level nine, but now he had elevated a whole tier, becoming a rank seven, level nine entity!
Arrogantly surveying the Chitauri, Thor looked up at Noah, who was floating not far away, a slight smile on his lips.
"Perfect. The last time you gave me a lesson, this time,
I'll show you my progress, my friend."
Thinking of this, even more violent lightning resounded in the sky.
These violent lightning bolts, under Thor's command, slowly transformed into silver energy, then continuously revolved around Thor's body. Finally, as the silver light faded, Thor was clad in a red and black armor!
Just then, an oblivious giant worm carrier with a full squad of Chitauri noticed Thor's anomaly and immediately flew towards him. They continuously fired at Thor, unleashing blue energy projectiles that could directly collapse buildings.
But Thor didn't care about these terrifying energies. He could feel that these energy rays couldn't penetrate his defense.
Sure enough, when the blue beams touched Thor, they were like water hitting water, not even causing a ripple. This sight immediately caused panic among the Chitauri, and what happened next completely shattered their morale!
Thor grinned, transforming directly into a silver lightning bolt, and with a terrifying aura, instantly appeared above the giant worm carrier!
"Die!"
Thor swung his hammer, mercilessly smashing it down onto the giant worm carrier, and a more dazzling silver light erupted. This light made countless people watching
the scene feel as if they had gone blind!
When their vision returned, there was no giant worm carrier in the sky, only a proud figure standing firm! Even more exaggerated, directly beneath this proud figure, a massive crater appeared, with countless buildings collapsed and burning!
"My God, is that even a human?"
"He's a god!"
"That's definitely Thor!"
Countless voices erupted at once. Thor's single hammer blow had literally made everyone's hearts explode, and many even guessed Thor's identity!
They just didn't know the full extent, and Thor himself didn't know what else was happening elsewhere.
Thor was currently very excited. Although his opponents were quite weak, as a battle-hungry individual, Thor wasn't picky. Perhaps for a friend, Thor would consider how not to harm them, but for enemies, Thor had no mercy.
"Are you an idiot? Why are you going so hard? If you finish them all off, what's the point of me summoning the wizards?"
Swinging his hammer, Thor intended to continue seeking targets, but the next moment, a roar echoed in his mind, a sound that almost made Thor lose his footing and fall from the sky.
Helplessly looking up at the source of the voice, Thor smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This was Earth, and Noah's home turf. Thor, who considered Noah a complete friend, couldn't disrupt his plans.
Slightly suppressing his desire to fight, Thor scanned the battlefield and quickly located Loki's position.
"Alright, buddy, I get it. I'll go protect Loki then, and you'll handle the rest?" As Thor flew towards Loki's location, he shouted up at the sky.
"Don't worry, Thor." Noah, standing in mid-air, didn't have a habit of shouting. He continued to communicate through magical transmission: "Next, it's our time to shine."
With that, the halo in Noah's hand instantly bloomed, and four golden halos appeared in mid-air. Each halo looked as unsettling as a wormhole in the sky.
