Three Minutes

As the Precognitor relayed this news, the expressions of everyone in the Avengers Initiative turned grave.

What they feared most in this battle was that the Chitauri army, with its more advanced technology, would deploy weapons on the scale of a catastrophic disaster.

The Chitauri certainly would not care, because the battlefield was not their homeland.

Even if they completely destroyed Blue Planet, they would not feel the slightest heartache. On the contrary, they would take pleasure in it.

If the Chitauri army deployed such a weapon without warning, Blue Planet would suffer a devastating disaster. But the Precognitor had seen through it all.

"Prepare to launch."

Thus, the instant Tony received the news, he gave the order.

Blue Planet’s technology was indeed inferior to that of extraterrestrial civilizations, but its most powerful weapon, the mushroom cloud, could still wipe out countless living beings.

Twenty Iron Man armors swiftly flew out from Stark Mansion.

All of these Iron Man armors were controlled by Jarvis and belonged to the AI intelligent armor category.

At the same time, Nick Fury also issued instructions.

Fighter jets loaded with Mushroom Clouds flew in from afar, preparing to hand them over to Tony’s Iron Man armors.

To truly hurt the Chitauri, simply killing a few of them was useless. They needed a far more intimidating strike.

Under normal circumstances, Mushroom Clouds could not threaten the Chitauri, who possessed Cosmic Battleships.

That was because human technology could not accurately hit enemies in space.

However, with Tony’s AI Iron Man armors serving as suicide units, the outcome would be completely different.

Tony knew there were certainly powerful beings in the universe capable of ignoring Mushroom Clouds, but the Chitauri were clearly not among them.

The twenty Iron Man armors flew in from every direction toward the prearranged locations where the Mushroom Clouds were stored.

Before the enemy could deploy weapons of mass destruction, they had to strike first.

More than ten large Cosmic Battleships on the other side of the spatial vortex also began turning their gun turrets.

They intended to unleash orbital rays and sweep Blue Planet’s surface clean.

As long as they killed all these superpowered beings, obtaining the Tesseract afterward would require nothing more than some effort.

"Only three minutes remain. In the final minute after we respond, they will immediately withdraw."

"At that point, all of America will be reduced to ashes."

After the bandages around the Precognitor’s body fell away, he floated in the air, his entire body snow-white. Purple light shone from his black pupils as he stared at the spatial vortex, fully unleashing his precognitive ability and seeing directly into the future ten minutes ahead.

The Chitauri still poured endlessly out of the Space Teleportation array like a swarm of hornets.

An ordinary civilization would already find it difficult to deal with such an army bearing down on them.

Moreover, seeing the enemy’s formation, no ordinary person would imagine that they would use large-scale destructive weapons without first withdrawing their own soldiers.

Three minutes was no more than the blink of an eye on a battlefield.

If the Chitauri withdrew in the final minute, then even if they realized what was happening and wanted to retaliate, it would already be too late. The enemy’s attack would have arrived.

"Three minutes is enough. Prepare to provide cover."

Hearing the precise time mentioned by the Precognitor, Tony showed no fear and gave the order.

As mass-produced Iron Man armors, their speed naturally could not compare to the armor Tony wore himself.

However, they could still reach mach 4 and rapidly carry out Tony’s various commands.

Yet even if they could execute the mission, delivering twenty Mushroom Clouds into the spatial vortex to blow up the area on the other side required powerful protection.

Otherwise, if the enemy shot down the Iron Man armors and detonated the Mushroom Clouds in the process, everything would be over.

At the same time, Tony directly activated Void Mode. His Arc Reactor turned purple, and his entire presence became incomparably dangerous.

Purple energy spilled outward, making the surrounding space seem as though it were beginning to distort.

Tony was both the commander and a warrior. The instant he gave the order, he took the lead, transforming into a brilliant streak of purple light and shooting upward at mach 9.

A trail of purple flames appeared in the sky, stretching from a height of a hundred meters all the way to the heavens.

At the same time, with a BOOM!, the terrifying sonic blast shattered every window within several kilometers.

This horrifying sight left the others in the Avengers Initiative dumbfounded, including Nick Fury and everyone from S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Chitauri who were pouring out had not even reacted when a streak of purple light flashed past, instantly tearing their craft and bodies apart.

"Sir, according to calculations, at this rate of energy consumption, Void Mode can last no more than five minutes. When the time is up, it will automatically disengage."

Jarvis immediately informed Tony as well.

At the same time, a three-hundred-second countdown appeared in Tony’s field of vision.

If Tony’s own physical strength had not been greatly enhanced, then even with such advanced technology, he would not have been able to control such speed.

Even though the Iron Man armor served as a medium and greatly reduced the strain, high-speed movement still imposed an enormous burden on the human body.

Moreover, excessive speed was not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people. Without sufficiently fast reactions, they simply could not handle the visual impact brought by such extreme speed. Their brains would overload directly.

When Renoli saw the extreme speed Tony had unleashed, his expression also turned serious. With a stroke of his right hand across the long blade in his grip, it was instantly coated in an eerie layer of purple.

Unwilling to be outdone, he shot into the sky and slaughtered one Chitauri after another, clearing a path for the Iron Man armors that would soon fly toward the spatial vortex.

When Kyle saw that the Precognitor had begun using his true abilities and that Tony and Renoli had also begun their real hunt, he knew there was nothing in the sky for him to handle.

Thus, Kyle flew downward and began hunting down the large numbers of Chitauri soldiers that slipped through from the heavens.

Tony and Renoli were like two bolts of purple lightning racing through the sky. In only an instant, hundreds of Chitauri soldiers had been beheaded and fallen continuously like dumplings dropping into a pot.

Before the blood could even spray outward, it was swept into mist by the sonic blasts. The entire sky turned blood-red.

The sight nearly split the Chitauri General’s liver and gallbladder with terror. He had never imagined that Blue Planet possessed superpowered beings of such monstrous caliber.

Even if the Black Order came, they would have to retreat in defeat before such strength.

Therefore, they absolutely could not engage them head-on. They had to use technological weapons to annihilate them directly.

"Accelerate the rotation. Begin bombardment in three minutes."

"Even if they are powerful enough to protect themselves against technology, the vast majority of people and superpowered beings certainly lack the means to deal with it."

The Chitauri General waved his hand and issued the order.

The twentieth day of ten-thousand-word updates, first chapter delivered.
