Chapter: 135

Click, click, click!

Thanks to Tony's extravagant indulgence, the top floor space was very spacious, providing Thunderbolt with ample transformation space.

Having witnessed the power of Hover-cannon, Loki certainly didn't have the courage to confront Thunderbolt head-on. However, it was a crucial moment as the Cosmic Cube was about to open the portal, and Loki's Chitauri army was about to arrive on the battlefield.

At this moment when power and desire were within reach, Loki was not willing to surrender.

With his illusion magic no longer effective, the energy beams emitted from the scepter posed no threat to the opponent. The only thing Loki could do was choose to retreat.

Without any hesitation, the moment Thunderbolt began its transformation, Loki first diverted Tony's attention with an energy beam and then leaped from the top of the Stark Tower, descending toward the ground.

You see, unlike Thor who could fly with his mighty weapon, Loki couldn't fly. Free-falling from a height of hundreds of meters to the ground, even with his Frost Giant heritage, he wouldn't be able to withstand the impact and would surely be severely injured or killed.

But in fact, Loki had already completed his calculations in his mind, daring to make this seemingly crazy attempt.

At the moment he executed his plan, the Cosmic Cube, which had been brewing for a long time, finally reached full power. A blue beam of light shot up from the top of the Stark Tower, piercing through a huge spatial teleportation channel in the sky above New York.

At the other end of the portal, the Chitauri army, which had been waiting for a long time, saw the portal open and rushed toward it like a swarm of locusts rushing toward food.

The Chitauri soldiers who were the first to rush out of the portal were piloting floating airships under their feet, sprinting at the fastest speed to reach Loki, who was falling toward the ground, catching him and stopping his descent.

"Hahaha, Avengers? No matter how many of you come, you can only despair before my Chitauri army!

I will rule your planet, your kingdoms, your loved ones, and friends. In the end, you will only kneel before me, begging for my forgiveness—"

"The army has arrived!" Tony paid no attention to Loki's empty boasts, as he watched the expanding portal in the sky.

"Thunderbolt, quickly descend to the streets and assist in evacuating the people on the ground."

"Understood, master!" Thunderbolt received the command, and its entire hovering artillery suit opened up. In mid-air, it formed energy barriers that created a level-by-level staircase.

Descending along these floating steps, Thunderbolt quickly arrived on the streets and began rescue operations. "Citizens, there is currently an emergency situation. Please be aware that this is not a drill! I am Thunderbolt, Tony Stark's Transformer. You need to evacuate this area and seek shelter in the city's air-raid shelters as soon as possible. I will assist and protect you along the way. Everyone, please act quickly and orderly!"

Perhaps due to Tony's reputation or the sense of security brought by Thunderbolt's massive presence, the citizens on the streets, upon hearing its instructions, acted in an orderly and swift manner to seek refuge.

...

"JARVIS, how much longer until Mark and the others arrive here?"

"1 minute and 13 seconds, sir."

"Activate the Accel World. There are quite a few enemies, and we need to speed up."

"Acceleration is about to begin. 3, 2, 1—link-start."

Buzz—After entering the accelerated state, the previously noisy external environment suddenly quieted down. The sensation of obstruction in this state gave Tony an illusion of sinking into a tranquil deep sea.

But he quickly snapped out of it and focused his attention on the enemies in front of him.

In the accelerated state, Tony effortlessly controlled all the hovering artillery of the suits, locking onto all the targets. The palm cannon in his hand and the micro-missiles loaded on his armor were aimed at selected targets.

In Tony's deliberate and meticulous operation, time seemed to slow down. What outsiders witnessed was Tony continuously launching attacks against the Chitauri soldiers coming out of the portal. Each attack claimed the lives of dozens of Chitauri soldiers.

Although the portal was huge, thanks to Tony's actions, only a few stragglers managed to enter Earth. It could be said that Tony successfully halted the enemy's first wave of attacks.

However, this method couldn't be sustained for long. Apart from the time limit imposed by Tony's use of the Accel World, the energy from the reactors in his weapons and hovering artillery was insufficient to withstand such a massive consumption for an extended period.

Furthermore, if the hovering artillery continued firing energy attacks non-stop, the overheating problem would render it inoperable long before the energy was depleted.

Tony was well aware of this, so what he was doing now was not an attempt to end the battle on his own. Instead, he aimed to buy time for the evacuation of the civilians and await reinforcements.

However, soon, a worse situation unfolded.

A roar, reminiscent of an ancient ferocious beast, emanated from the space portal.

Shortly after, Tony saw a gigantic head emerging, covered in unknown black metal from its eyes to its teeth. Clearly, like the previously encountered Chitauri soldiers, this colossal creature was a bioengineered being modified with advanced extraterrestrial technology.

Tony attempted to concentrate firepower on it, but the barrage of attacks seemed as futile as throwing a grain of sand into the sea, unable to create even a ripple.

In the accelerated state, Tony could only watch helplessly as the Leviathan beast slowly crossed the portal and descended upon Earth.

When the Leviathan's nearly 100-meter-long body completely crossed the portal and appeared before Tony, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

However, JARVIS immediately brought him good news, dispelling this negative sentiment. "Sir, Master Mark and the others have arrived."
