"It's already closed, but under the influence of that machine, the Cosmic Cube has begun to supply its own energy, and now it can't be turned off at all!"
Tony Stark's voice sounded incredibly anxious, breaking the brief silence in the Mirror Dimension. If the portal could be closed so easily, he wouldn't have wasted time arguing with Kurohane. In fact, if it weren't for the now uncontrolled Chitauri invasion outside, Tony wouldn't have time to think about how to turn off that damn thing!
"Where's that Dr. Erik Selvig? He built the device, he knows how to open it, so of course he knows how to close it!"
Kurohane constantly sensed Thor's position, finding that the God of Thunder was being "carried" by his Mjolnir, soaring into the air. If there was an open portal nearby, he could just fall from the sky uncontrollably!
"Doctor Erik! Just now, when I tried to destroy the device using my palm repulsor, the air blast knocked him out, and he hasn't woken up yet!" Tony explained, his tone frustrated.
Kurohane: (sighs). Oh my, even unimportant things have to be copied one by one, huh? Dr. Erik is an ordinary person with no combat ability, does he still need to be hit with a palm repulsor?
Kurohane was still stalling for time. The impact of the Battle of New York this time felt strange. Previously, to avoid wasting his character experience card duration, he had directly killed the first Steel Whale, which had frightened the Chitauri, and Loki, who commanded them, hadn't sent any news. If it weren't for fear of Thanos's power, they would probably be heading home to shower and sleep now.
Kurohane thought for a moment, took out the Mind Stone from his Space Ring. As he held the scepter in his hand, he immediately sensed the Chitauri outside the space gate.
"Use Camouflage Master."
[Camouflage Master: Life is like a drama, and a drama is like life!]
Kurohane gave a slight cough and said directly into the Mind Stone: "Where are your troops? Are the Chitauri rebelling against Thanos?"
Kurohane's voice now sounded exactly like Loki's! The simplest application of the [Camouflage Master] skill was to mimic other people's voices. It wasn't just similar, there was no difference at all!
Kurohane didn't hear the Chitauri's reply, but he saw it with his own eyes! Three gigantic Steel Whales emerged from the portal one after another, following them was a swarm of small spaceships as numerous as flies. Under the influence of [Super Vision], Kurohane saw that there was still a large army gathering, they were flying towards the portal, and before long the entire army would appear above New York!
Kurohane: (sneering). Hmm, that's enough for now. Now we just need to wait for the nuclear bomb to fall from the sky! A government that wants to drop a nuclear bomb on its own citizens' heads sounds like it's about to collapse!
Kurohane put away the Mind Stone in his hand, directly opened a portal, switched back to his own voice on the radio, and said to Tony: "Just get to it, Tony. I'll figure out the portal problem. You and the Captain are already busy enough!"
"What are you kidding! How can the two of us handle so many Aliens! We need more people. Hasn't Agent Romanoff arrived yet?!" Tony yelled, frustrated.
"You're too impatient, rich boy!"
Natasha Romanoff's voice came directly over the radio, sounding very relaxed. "I'm bringing the best agent who wants revenge, the kind who's good with a bow and arrow! And the big green guy, I think you'll like him!"
"Exactly, I like Banner!" Tony chimed in, a faint smile forming behind his helmet.
As Tony's words fell, a tall green figure appeared on the battlefield. Bruce Banner in his Hulk form landed directly on a Steel Whale and began dismantling it with methods even more brutal than Kurohane's. He had no combat skills whatsoever and didn't dodge or evade energy blasts from Chitauri soldiers. He was like a Beast with immense power, unleashing his ferocity at will, pure raw destructive force!
"Agent Romanoff, I'm Steve. We'll start setting combat missions now..."
Steve Rogers smoothly took over command authority and maximized everyone's roles. It had to be said that Steve, this World War II veteran, still had some tricks up his sleeve. Ever since Kurohane destroyed the first Steel Whale, Steve had arranged for civilian evacuation. So now there were no people around Stark Tower. The arrival of the Chitauri army would at most only cause economic losses.
As for whether U.S. insurance companies would compensate for losses caused by Aliens, old capitalist contracts were very simple, they wouldn't pay! But when they met Stark Industries, which was richer than the insurance companies, maybe they would have to pay their debts.
When Kurohane opened a portal and appeared next to Thor and Loki, these two siblings, he witnessed the famous scene of fraternal love and fraternal respect again. Loki directly stabbed Thor in the stomach with a dagger. Then he left in a small Chitauri flying vehicle and even looked at Kurohane with a provocative stare!
"Hahaha, Earth Wizard, you're too late! All of Earth will..."
Bang—!
Kurohane immediately drew his gun and gave Loki a bullet, knocking him off the small flying vehicle. Loki fell into the building, his fate unknown! Kurohane helped Thor up from the ground, and Holy Energy from the Holy Scar transferred into Thor's body, helping him stabilize his injuries. However, the Asgardian body was special. Even if he didn't treat Thor, he would quickly recover.
"How is it? Your brother doesn't seem as good as your sister from another world, does he?" Kurohane quipped.
"Hmm, why didn't King Father adopt a younger sister for me back then!" Thor mumbled, his tone slightly annoyed yet also implying a strange curiosity.
With the injection of Holy Energy, the bleeding from Thor's wound stopped. He regained his strength to speak. Seeing the shimmering Holy Scar on Kurohane's hand, Thor was surprised!
"A favored one of the Holy Dimension? You should have told me if you had that!"
"Oh!? You, the male lead in this thrilling story, actually know about such fancy things?" Kurohane genuinely didn't expect that Thor, a brute whose brain was full of muscles, actually knew about the Holy Dimension? Asgard's foundation was thicker than he imagined!
Thor nodded very seriously, then pointed to Kurohane's Holy Scar and said: "My King Father told me before I left home that if I met someone with a Holy Scar on their hand, I should bring them back to Asgard, and he would receive our Asgardian friendship."
Kurohane: (dumbfounded).
