[Sorry about yesterday, took a sick day off!]

"Let me show you the power the Demon God has granted me!" Kaecilius said coldly.

In the next moment, under the watchful and shocked eyes of Tony Stark and the others, a symbol appeared on Kaecilius' forehead—a sun-shaped mark.

As soon as the symbol appeared, Syd, hiding in the shadows, immediately sensed that Kaecilius had exhausted his light energy and was now attempting to borrow it from him.

"What is he trying to do?" Syd raised an eyebrow.

Though curious, he still made a mental decision to temporarily lend out his light energy—no, it was the divine power of light!

Feeling the light energy slowly drain from his body and flow toward an unknown location, Syd chose to ignore it.

Compared to the consumption of light energy from using abilities like black particles, this amount was insignificant.

Or perhaps, he had always underestimated the quality of the light energy within him.

Despite the large energy drain when using powers like the Orochi's abilities or chaotic magic—both high-level techniques—the energy consumption seemed higher only because of the abilities' powerful nature.

On the other hand, Kaecilius' magic, supported by borrowed light energy, was far less demanding. The magic's spells and gestures further reduced the energy required.

While Syd pondered, Kaecilius, standing on the rooftop of Stark Tower, suddenly paused. He sensed a higher-quality, divine power flooding into him.

What was this?

After a brief moment of surprise, Kaecilius realized what was happening, his eyes filled with reverence.

"This is the true divine power of the Demon God?"

The next second, he felt his magic flow even more smoothly, and its range expanded significantly.

While Kaecilius marveled at this new strength, Tony and the others sensed something was wrong.

The space around them seemed to be... shifting?

Just as they were contemplating this, Kaecilius let out a cold laugh from nearby.

The next moment, Tony Stark and the others saw the space around them begin to invert. A city hung upside down above their heads, and Stark Tower split in two.

The ground and buildings began to break apart, floating and spinning in all directions.

It was clear that Kaecilius had cast a mirror dimension spell.

Originally, he wouldn't have been able to perform such a feat, but ever since he borrowed the Demon God's divine power, the magic had become effortless.

The mirror dimension, as the name suggested, was a reflection of the real world. Any destruction caused within it wouldn't affect the real world.

This allowed sorcerers to unleash their full power without fear of exposure or causing harm to bystanders. They could even manipulate the buildings within the mirror dimension to hinder and attack their enemies.

With a wave of Kaecilius' right hand, the half of Stark Tower where Tony Stark and the others stood flipped upside down in an instant.

"My God!" Dr. Selvig screamed.

Under the influence of gravity, both he and Captain America's group plummeted toward the ground.

If they hit the ground, everyone except for superhumans like Captain America and Black Widow would surely perish!

Tony reacted quickly, catching each of them mid-air and landing awkwardly.

Barely surviving the fall, Captain America and the others looked around in shock.

Everything within an eight- or nine-hundred-meter radius was in chaos!

Buildings were disjointed and twisted, making it feel as if they had fallen into a dream.

"Is this still magic?"

At that moment, both Captain America's team and Loki, sitting safely on his aircraft for the time being, were filled with shock.

Suddenly, someone recalled Kaecilius' earlier words.

"This is the power granted by the Demon God?"

Could the Demon God be real?

No time to dwell on their astonishment, as nearby buildings began closing in on them, forcing them to flee in a panic.

On the rooftop of Stark Tower, Kaecilius smiled as he continued manipulating the space, aiming to kill them all.

If things continued this way, only Tony Stark, Thor, the Hulk, and Loki would be safe for the time being. The rest would be in grave danger, possibly even losing their lives in an instant.

However, in his relentless manipulation of the space, Kaecilius had overlooked a certain group—those who had hidden their presence for some time now.

A group of black sentry robots emerged from their stealth, appearing on the rooftop of Stark Tower.

The next second, they launched their attack on Kaecilius and his followers.

Yellow and red lasers streaked toward them, while crystals began spreading across their bodies.

What?!

Kaecilius was startled. He immediately ceased his manipulation of the mirror dimension and quickly summoned the Seraphim Shield.

As he stopped, the space began to stabilize, allowing Tony and the others a moment to assess the situation.

At a glance, they saw Kaecilius on the rooftop of Stark Tower, using the Seraphim Shield to fend off dozens of laser beams, as well as the sentry robots that had appeared.

Despite their distaste for the sentry robots, Tony and the others couldn't help but feel relieved.

Faced with the sudden assault from the sentry robots, even the divine-powered Seraphim Shield couldn't hold out for long, eventually shattering under the barrage of laser fire.

Seeing this, Captain America and the others exchanged complex glances.

Was it over?

Were these fanatics who worshiped a dark god really about to die?

Loki and the Chitauri commander, watching from their aircraft, were full of glee.

On the rooftop.

Kaecilius and his followers were filled with despair.

They had no time left to cast another spell.

"Are we going to die, unable to serve the Demon God anymore... and..."

Kaecilius' mind was filled with images of his wife and children, as if they were waving goodbye to him.

Just as Kaecilius and his group were about to meet their end, and as Captain America and the others watched with complex emotions, something unexpected happened.

A layer of red light appeared around Kaecilius and his followers.

The lasers, which had been partially blocked by the Seraphim Shield, now struck the red light directly.

However, this faint red glow held firm, blocking the dozens of laser beams.

"What is this?"

Captain America, Tony Stark, Loki, and the Chitauri commander all looked on in astonishment.

Even Kaecilius and his followers were dumbfounded.

What was this power?

How could it withstand so many lasers?

What had just happened?

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed.
