Amid their confusion, the battle paused for a moment before resuming.
In the sky, Loki suppressed his doubts and resumed commanding the Chitauri.
"All units, move out!"
To the shock of Captain America and the others, an overwhelming number of whale-like warships descended from the sky, so many that it seemed hopeless.
At that moment, an even larger warship emerged from the space portal.
"Loki, you've disappointed me. I entrusted you with this army, and yet you still haven't dealt with these humans," a humanoid creature clad in black, whose appearance was hideous by human standards, stood atop the massive warship.
With just one look, Loki recognized who it was—the Chitauri Commander.
Loki hadn't expected this guy to dare cross through the portal.
As he thought this, he noticed the numerous warships pouring through the portal, surrounding the Chitauri Commander.
In such a situation, even if an attack were to suddenly appear, it would first hit the warships around the commander.
Listening to the commander's words, Loki quickly retorted, "Have you ever considered that your army might just be too weak?"
"You!" The Chitauri Commander was enraged. If it weren't for the critical timing, he would've tried to eliminate this insolent being who dared insult the Chitauri army.
How dare he call the Chitauri army weak!
Ignoring Loki, the Chitauri Commander gazed at the burning human city below, a look of disdain in his eyes.
Humans are nothing! At that moment, a scream echoed from near Stark Tower, drawing Loki's attention.
A middle-aged woman was seen protecting two children, a boy and a girl, as they hid in a corner, panic-stricken. As the building next to them was destroyed by stray fire, their hiding spot was exposed to the Chitauri forces.
Seeing this, a few Chitauri soldiers became excited, eager to eliminate the mother and her children.
"There are still people who haven't evacuated?"
From a distance, Captain America and the others noticed the scene, their hearts sinking. Without a word, they rushed or flew toward the family, intent on destroying the approaching Chitauri craft.
The Chitauri Commander watched this with a sneer, thinking these human heroes were foolish and overestimating their abilities.
The mother and her children, cornered, looked in terror at the approaching Chitauri craft.
Suddenly, before Captain America could reach them, a group of black figures appeared, catching everyone's attention.
There were at least a hundred of them, rapidly swarming toward the area.
"What are those things?"
The Chitauri Commander was momentarily stunned. Even Loki was puzzled, unable to identify what these humanoid figures were.
While they and the Chitauri soldiers were bewildered, Tony, Captain America, and the recently arrived Hulk recognized them instantly, as did the woman and her children.
"Oh my God, it's the Sentinel robots!"
The middle-aged woman, Merche, exclaimed in surprise.
Her eyes filled with hope as she shouted joyfully, "We're saved!"
Even the two children, around eight or nine years old, were wide-eyed with excitement, clapping their hands in delight.
In the sky, the Chitauri Commander and Loki both noticed the expressions of joy on the humans' faces.
What are these things that can make these desperate humans so happy? The Chitauri Commander and Loki exchanged confused glances.
At that moment, a Chitauri craft closed in on the mother and her children. Their conversation was transmitted to the Chitauri Commander and Loki through their communication devices.
The woman, smiling in relief, reassured the children, "These Sentinel robots were designed to combat the Omega mutants Messiah and White Knight. With them, we're sure to be saved."
"Mom, that's great! These aliens can't kill us now!" The children, now overjoyed, had even stopped crying, tears of happiness filling their eyes.
Loki and the Chitauri Commander exchanged another look.
"What is this human woman and those children talking about?" The Chitauri Commander was incredulous.
He couldn't believe what he had just heard—that this human woman and those children actually thought these black figures would save them and that the Chitauri couldn't kill them.
How is that possible?
Are they dreaming?
The Chitauri Commander sneered, thinking these humans were utterly foolish to believe that some black humanoid figures could defeat the Chitauri army.
Even though they had countless Chitauri soldiers behind them, not to mention their advanced technology, he wasn't worried about these black figures.
Whatever they were, they couldn't stop them; they would all be destroyed!
Moreover, upon hearing that these things were designed to fight someone named Messiah and White Knight, the commander was even more disdainful.
Messiah? White Knight? Some Omega mutants? Just two humans? Ridiculous!
The idea that something made to fight two humans could be used against the Chitauri army—wasn't that laughable? It was like ants creating weapons to fight bacteria and thinking they could challenge the sun—utterly absurd!
In the distance, Black Widow, Captain America, Hawkeye, the Hulk, and Tony gathered together.
"What are those, human weapons?" Thor asked, raising his head in surprise.
Captain America immediately responded, "Those things are Sentinel robots, designed primarily to combat Messiah and White Knight."
"They're both Omega mutants, the main targets of the Sentinel robots."
Listening to Captain America's explanation, Thor's eyes were filled with both surprise and doubt.
Sentinel robots? Messiah and White Knight? Omega mutants?
"Can these black lumps really fight the Chitauri army?"
Using something designed to fight two so-called Omega humans against an entire army?
Even Thor was hesitant at this point.
Just then, under the watchful eyes of the Chitauri Commander, Loki, Thor, Tony, and the others, the Sentinel robots sprang into action.
