The Teleportation Array Activates

Thor and Loki temporarily left as well.

They had come because they had received Tony’s message and knew they needed to meet each other first so they could look out for one another afterward.

Now that Tony had gone to entertain his friends from the cosmos, there was naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.

"Director, they…"

A beautiful agent watched them all act so willfully and hesitated to speak.

"…Ignore them. As long as Earth is truly safe, that’s all that matters."

Nick Fury paused at her words before speaking.

He might once have considered keeping them in line, but after witnessing Tony’s attitude—

He knew it was impossible to make these powerful individuals, each possessing all kinds of extraordinary abilities, submit to his discipline.

Still, the helpers Tony had called back looked fairly friendly. They probably would not bring chaos to Earth.

That put Nick Fury much more at ease.

Meanwhile, Tony brought Renoli and the others aboard the Cosmic Battleship and flew to Stark Mansion.

"I forgot to introduce you. My wife, Pepper Potts, is also a member of the Void Cult."

"However, she has never left Earth before, so don’t badmouth me in front of her."

Just before stepping off the Cosmic Battleship, Tony suddenly remembered something and gave them a reminder.

"We’re all men here. I get it, I get it."

Kyle patted Tony on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

"Most wealthy people in the universe are pretty promiscuous, but since your wife would mind, I definitely won’t mention it."

Lacey spoke with a knowing look.

"Don’t worry, I understand."

Renoli also wore an expression that said he understood perfectly.

The Precognitor had long foreseen this scene, so he merely nodded.

When an extremely advanced-looking craft, clearly resembling a spaceship, suddenly landed at Stark Mansion, Pepper came outside as well.

When Pepper saw Tony step out of it, accompanied by several unfamiliar faces—

She could sense the confidence radiating from these people, and their bodies were clearly far beyond ordinary humans.

Combined with the spaceship, which was clearly not Earth technology, Pepper had already formed some guesses.

"Hello, I’m Tony’s wife, Pepper Potts."

Pepper spoke politely.

"Hello. My name is Kyle. I’m Tony’s friend and also a member of the Void Cult."

Kyle replied with great friendliness.

The group quickly exchanged greetings. Tony had an exceptionally lavish feast prepared to welcome his friends who had come from afar.

Since they were all Void Cult members, none of them had any reservations as they ate and chatted.

Pepper brought up what Tony had done in the universe, and he received unanimous praise from everyone.

This had not been coordinated beforehand. Tony’s genius mind had truly won over many members on Void Island, including the few of them.

What Pepper heard from them was much the same as what Tony had told her, and they praised him to no end.

Knowing that even if Tony had indulged himself out in the universe, he had not forgotten his proper duties or caused trouble for Mr. Harvey, Pepper felt reassured.

They ate for several hours. Tony’s hospitality could truly be described as an unlimited supply of food and wine.

Moreover, during their time on Earth afterward, there would be no shortage of delicious food every day.

Renoli and the other four once again witnessed just how extravagant Tony was.

After welcoming them with the feast, Tony directly gave them four hundred million dollars and told them to find food on their own.

However, he also warned them not to eat too much outside and draw attention. If they wanted something to eat, they only needed to tell Jarvis and have Jarvis arrange it.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Knowing that eating too much would cause trouble, they naturally followed his advice.

Four days quickly passed.

With the combined efforts of Tony, Dr. Erik, and Dr. Banner—

They mastered a stable method of opening and closing it in just one week.

And the location chosen for opening it was undoubtedly Stark Tower in New York.

The skies over New York were clear and cloudless that day. It was, by all accounts, excellent weather.

However, the arrival of large numbers of troops and fighter jets evacuating the crowds—

Made the atmosphere in what had once been prosperous and peaceful New York somewhat tense.

This scene triggered plenty of noise and protests, but America’s military knew how serious the matter was and paid no heed to whether they protested or marched.

They directly arrested them one by one on charges of violently resisting the law.

At the top of Stark Tower, Loki and Dr. Erik stood above.

Meanwhile, the Avengers Initiative team and Renoli’s group split into four teams, standing atop several tall buildings near Stark Tower.

The time reached one in the afternoon.

Other than some foolish civilians who could not be driven away because they had nothing in their heads but freedom, more than seventy percent of the crowds had already been dispersed.

"Dr. Erik, activate it."

After seeing this through the surveillance cameras spread throughout the city, Tony spoke.

They had already given these people enough time to evacuate. There was nothing he could do about those unwilling to leave.

When the sky cracked open and the disaster truly arrived, those Black people could flee if they could. If they could not, that was not his problem.

His goal was to win this war between civilizations and make the Chitauri afraid.

Otherwise, if the other side fought Earth to the bitter end, Earth could be completely destroyed.

At Tony’s command, Stark Tower fired a blue beam of light into the heavens.

It was as though a massive hole had been torn open in the sky, and a shocking vortex of energy began to whirl overhead.

Most people in New York could see this phenomenon, and their eyes widened in shock.

"Is the world ending?"

"Let it all be destroyed. Then I won’t have to pay my mortgage."

"The end of the world would be great. Then we can loot whatever we want and take any women we want."

As the towering blue pillar of light appeared, some of the Black protesters still in New York raised their heads.

This was the signal that the Chitauri army was about to launch its attack. At the time, it was not the end of the world.

But if no one could stand against them, the arrival of the Chitauri army would be no different from doomsday descending.

Long before Earth, many planets had already been destroyed at the hands of the Chitauri army.

Not long afterward, an enormous monster resembling a turtle flew out of the hole.

Alongside it came countless ugly Chitauri soldiers clad in armor and masks, riding flying vehicles.

Like densely packed bees, they swarmed out of a hive in desperate competition.

Although some of the Black protesters who had not yet left New York could not make out the exact appearance of those densely packed smaller figures—

They could clearly see the turtle-like behemoth, its armor, and the structures on its back that resembled gun turrets.

This immediately made the Black protesters realize what was happening. This was not some apocalypse caused by the forces of heaven and earth, but an invasion by an unknown species.

The fourth update is here.
