Chapter 190: Gwen’s Full-Power Strike, Pikachu Arrives

"Hey, woman."

"You'd better stay back. That big guy isn't something you can handle."

Hearing Gwen's words, Thor frowned. This woman might have some skills, but wasn't she overestimating herself?

Leaving this to her?

Wasn't she basically dismissing the rest of them?

Even though Thor was now fighting alongside the team, his pride as the Prince of Asgard still burned within him.

The earlier Leviathan? He had intended to take it down himself.

Though Hulk had stolen the spotlight, Thor acknowledged Hulk's strength, especially after their brawl on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.

But this Spider-Woman? She's just a super-powered human.

Tony, seeing where this was headed, was about to step in and play mediator.

He knew both Gwen and Thor well enough—once they started arguing, neither would back down.

"You're from Asgard too? Is Loki your brother?"

Gwen glanced at Thor while Red Queen quickly pulled up Thor's profile.

Thor didn't deny it. "Yes, he's my brother."

"Let me tell you something—if anything happens to Anna, I'll make sure Loki pays the price!"

"Uh-oh…"

Tony knew it was too late to stop this.

Hearing someone threaten Loki, Thor's temper flared. "You?

Loki is Asgardian. Even if he's done wrong, only Asgard has the right to judge him!"

"Stop it, both of you."

"We've got bigger problems right now!"

Rogers stepped in, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Our priority is taking down that thing."

The Leviathan was drawing closer.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hulk was still in a berserk rage, relentlessly pummeling the previous Leviathan.

Until he was done venting, he clearly wouldn't listen to reason.

Thor began spinning Mjolnir, readying to summon lightning.

Seeing this, Gwen shot a webline and swung up to a nearby skyscraper.

"Red Queen, you said we had a way to deal with this big guy?"

"Of course, Miss Gwen," Red Queen replied.

"The symbiotic liquid suit not only inherits all the advantages of Arch-5 but also maximizes the potential of the symbiote."

"The symbiote can reshape its structure at will, generating weaponized forms."

"You can transform parts of your suit into powerful weapons, tailored to your needs."

A demonstration video appeared before Gwen.

Red Queen continued, "All weapons formed by the suit retain the properties of Vibranium, ensuring maximum effectiveness."

"Alan, you're a genius!"

Gwen was genuinely impressed. She hadn't expected Alan to create a suit capable of such incredible versatility—even transforming into weapons.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning shot skyward as Thor prepared to summon a massive strike to destroy the approaching Leviathan.

"This is supposed to be a god?"

"He's not even as efficient as Pikachu…"

Gwen watched Thor struggle with his elaborate lightning summoning and couldn't help but think how much easier it would be to just unleash Pikachu.

Thinking about Thor's earlier condescending attitude made her even more annoyed.

Without hesitation, she extended her hand.

The suit on her arm began to shift like liquid, flowing and coalescing into a massive silver warhammer.

Down below, Tony stared in disbelief. "What kind of tech is this?

Nanotechnology?"

Even Black Widow and Hawkeye were stunned.

From all the intel they had gathered, Spider-Woman was never reported to have abilities like this.

Or perhaps it was an ability Gwen always had but had never displayed before.

Rogers, surprised, remarked, "Spider-Woman, it seems Nick Fury's intel was incomplete."

"Is this another product of next-generation technology?"

None of the others chose to answer that question.

With the massive silver hammer fully formed, Gwen smiled in satisfaction. She leaped off the building, and in midair, swung the hammer with all her might, aiming it at the Leviathan below.

Red Queen synchronized perfectly, activating Arch-6. Four black spider legs extended from Gwen's back, and jets of flame burst from their joints, generating a powerful thrust.

Gwen plummeted like a meteor, slamming the silver hammer directly into the Leviathan's head.

Boom!

Chunks of flesh flew everywhere.

The impact was so immense that it left a massive crater on the highway, sending debris scattering in all directions.

When the dust settled, the once-arrogant Leviathan lay lifeless on the ground, like a dead fish.

Gwen stood triumphantly on its shattered skull.

Thor landed beside Rogers. Though reluctant to admit it, he muttered, "She's definitely earned her place."

Even Thor had to acknowledge—such a strike was beyond even his capabilities.

Gwen herself felt a bit dazed. Since gaining her spider powers, this was the first time she had unleashed her full strength.

She had always known she was strong but never imagined it could be this powerful.

The chaos caused by both Hulk and Gwen drew the attention of the majority of the Chitauri soldiers in Manhattan.

The Chitauri shared a hive mind, and the sudden loss of two Leviathans instantly alerted their central command to a formidable threat in the area.

Now, a large portion of the Chitauri forces was converging to attack.

The Chitauri's strength lay in their ability to continuously produce soldiers as long as their central brain remained intact.

More often than not, they didn't defeat their enemies through sheer power but by wearing them down to death.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Gwen understood that now wasn't the time to quarrel with Thor. To reach Loki, she would need to fight alongside him.

Unless…

Gwen thought for a moment. Perhaps only Emperor could pull off something like that.

She, Tony, Rogers, and the others formed a defensive circle, with Chitauri soldiers closing in from all directions.

The two Leviathan corpses seemed to ignite the Chitauri's fury, and they snarled and hissed as they charged toward the Avengers.

Hulk wasn't one to back down. He roared in defiance:

"Raaaargh!!!"

Then, unexpectedly—

"Pika…"

"Chuuu…"

The tense, murderous atmosphere was abruptly shattered by an adorably familiar cry from the sky.

Everyone looked up in confusion, except Gwen, whose face lit up in surprise. "Pikachu?"

From a mini drone descending from the sky, a creature resembling a large mouse jumped down.

It landed gracefully in front of Gwen and then leaped onto her shoulder with a light hop.

The resemblance in style made it clear to everyone—this was Spider-Woman's pet.

"Alright, now everyone's here," Tony said.

"Cap, let's assign tasks and get to work."
