Chapter 99: Marvel 99
Captain America leapt out, shield raised as he landed amidst a group of Chitauri, immediately engaging them with powerful strikes and precise movements. Natasha and Clint followed, providing cover fire and suppressing enemies from strategic positions.
Meanwhile, Tony blasted toward the Arc Reactor at the top of Stark Tower. The swirling energy of the device pulsed ominously, sending ripples through the air. As he approached, Loki stepped into view, his scepter glowing ominously.
"Ah, Stark," Loki greeted with a smirk. "Come to witness your legacy tearing your world apart?"
Tony landed with a heavy clang, his suit gleaming in the light of the reactor. "Actually, I was thinking about tearing you apart instead. Nice staff, by the way—compensating for something?"
Loki's smirk faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Arrogance, as always. This world will bow before me."
"as for this staff just a replacement for a while until I find that midgard Mage and take back mine" he added with dark grin on his face.
Tony raised his hand, his repulsor charging. "Yeah, let me introduce you to freedom—the non-bowing kind."
Before Tony could fire, Loki raised his scepter, blasting him with a burst of energy. Tony was sent flying, crashing against the metal framework of the tower. Groaning, he pushed himself up just as Max appeared, emerging from the shadows like a phantom.
"Stark, take care of the reactor. Loki's mine," Max said, his voice cold and commanding.
Tony hesitated but nodded. "Fine. Just don't break anything too expensive." He flew off toward the reactor, leaving Max to face Loki.
Loki sneered at Max. "And who might you be? Another mortal come to grovel before a god?"
Max chuckled darkly, his misty form swirling ominously. "Grovel? Hardly. Let me show you what nightmares look like."
Before Loki could respond, Max lunged at him, his mist coalescing into jagged tendrils that struck with unrelenting speed. Loki blocked with his scepter, but Max's attacks were relentless, forcing the god to retreat.
'Let's play for a while ' Max inwardly thought as he fought against Loki not even using 10% of his power 'At least until enough Chitauri came out to create a Powerful Death Guardian for Lumia '.
Below, the battle raged on. Captain America led the ground team, his shield deflecting energy blasts while his precise strikes incapacitated Chitauri soldiers. Natasha and Clint moved with practiced efficiency, their attacks coordinated to take out groups of enemies.
The Spidey Squad, meanwhile, was holding the line with astonishing power and skill. Gwen's golden weapons lit up the battlefield as she darted through enemies, her movements fluid and graceful. MJ's crimson mist acted as both a shield and a weapon, disorienting and incapacitating foes with brutal precision. Flash's speed and power created whirlwinds, scattering Chitauri forces, while Harry's energy blasts tore through their ranks.
Lumia's undead army was a terrifying sight, overwhelming the Chitauri with sheer numbers. Her Death Guardian loomed like a shadow, its massive form cutting through enemies like a scythe through wheat. Rize, in the midst of it all, was an unstoppable force, her vampiric power leaving no survivors in her wake.
As Tony worked on disabling the Arc Reactor, he shouted into the comms. "Cap, I need more time! This thing's rigged with some kind of alien tech—I'm working on it, but it's not coming apart easily!"
"We'll buy you all the time you need," Steve replied, slamming his shield into a Chitauri soldier. "Just hurry!"
On the rooftop, Loki snarled, frustration etched across his face as Max's relentless assault continued. "You dare to defy a god?" Loki roared, unleashing a blast of energy that sent Max skidding back.
Max straightened, a grin playing on his lips. "Defy you? No, Loki. I'm here to humiliate you." With a wave of his hand, the mist around him condensed into a massive, clawed form that lunged at Loki.
Despite his bravado, Loki found himself on the defensive, struggling to keep up with Max's unrelenting attacks. "This... this is impossible!" Loki shouted, his arrogance cracking under the pressure.
"Impossible is just another word for unprepared," Max replied, his voice dripping with menace.
Meanwhile, in the city below, Bruce Banner, observing the escalating chaos, sighed. "Alright, big guy... time to clock in." He closed his eyes, focusing as his body began to change. Moments later, the Hulk emerged with a roar, leaping into the fray and smashing through Chitauri forces like a wrecking ball.
And then speeding towards his real target, the Leviathan, he jumped and then clenching both of his hands he slammed down on the head of an Leviathan sending it down plummeting on the ground.
"Hulk Smash!!!"
Flash who just arrived and wanting to fight looked at the hulking giant beating down the space Worm said on his com "hey!! there is an big green muscular guy, is it friend or enemy?" he asked as Hulk also looked at him, Flash got stunned as he waved at him.
"hulk!!" hulk roared as flash looked around and then his red energy flared as he roared back " Fla..I mean, Red Spidey!!"
Hulk got confused as he looked at Flash but flash didn't get much chance as he dodged a laser blast from a Chitauri and then he punched the guy sending him crashing back.
"now we can..hmm where did he go?" Just as Flash turning to Hulk was saying he found out he was not there anymore, shrugging he continued to move helping Civilians while smacking down Aliens.
On the other side of the battlefield, Black Widow reached the area where Rize was relentlessly slaughtering Chitauri soldiers. Rize moved with such deadly precision that the invading aliens barely had a chance to retaliate. Civilians seized the opportunity to flee, their fear overshadowed by relief as they escaped the chaos.
"Hey! Glad you're here," Natasha called out to Rize, trying to establish some sort of communication.
Rize barely glanced her way before replying coldly, "I don't talk to the weak." In an instant, she used her vampiric speed to rush deeper into the fray, vanishing from sight as if she were a shadow.
