"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"Crash countdown: five minutes!"
...
In the Helicarrier's command room, the alarm kept blaring.
But aside from the operators already present in the command room, who weren't under Amora's control, and the two or three agents like Fury and Hill who looked hopeless, the rest had no expression on their faces.
Fury also stopped cursing and fell silent.
He began reflecting on his life up until now, because at this moment, there was no way out of the situation.
Don't look at that "five minutes left" — Fury wouldn't even have enough time to brew a cup of coffee.
Boom!
"Fury? What's going on here!?"
Steve came looking for Fury after grabbing his shield from his room.
He was wondering why no one had repaired the engine for so long.
And where the hell was Tony!?
Then, when Steve burst into the command room and saw Fury and the others held at gunpoint, he instantly realized something was wrong!
There were traitors here!?
Steve immediately turned to leave.
"Fire!!" Coulson suddenly shouted.
With a crack, Steve ducked behind his shield, deflected the bullets, and pulled back into the hallway.
"After him!!"
Suddenly, several agents chased after him with rifles aimed.
Fury watched it all and just sighed.
Although Steve was very strong and those people weren't on his level, the problem was — they were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and Steve couldn't just kill them, which put him in a tough spot.
Fury had also counted on Hulk breaking through the blockade.
But judging by the roar that echoed from time to time and the rumbling, it was clear even Hulk couldn't be relied on.
It's over, let it all explode already, it'll be quicker!!
Just as Fury was in despair, the entire Helicarrier suddenly shook!
Fury was shocked to realize the fall had stopped!!
What happened??
Did someone come to help!?
Who!?
"Looks like I'm a little late."
Alaric suddenly appeared mid-air in the command room and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
He was supposed to arrive earlier, but there was a problem.
The Ancient One had unexpectedly summoned him, and there was no helping it — Alaric had to first go to Kamar-Taj and return the Time Stone.
Then he had to answer a pile of her questions.
After all, the Ancient One was very curious about Alaric's power.
After all, it was a level even she had never reached.
Then Alaric also heard from her the name Eternity, and that Eternity highly valued him.
That surprised him, and at the same time made him realize that as soon as he reached the level of a universe, he attracted the attention of many major players.
Alaric didn't know if that was a good or bad thing, but he knew that if he kept chatting with the Ancient One, Fury and the others would retire earlier than planned.
Fortunately, he made it in time.
"Alaric!?"
"Fuck! You finally showed up!!"
"Hurry, help!!"
Fury was about to cry when he saw Alaric!
Seriously, if he hadn't shown up any longer, Fury would've cursed him to the grave!
So unreliable!
What happened to "I'll solve the problem"?
Said it — and vanished!!
If Fury hadn't planned to gather the Avengers and devised a whole plan against Loki, but instead just waited around for Alaric, the yellow flower would've withered long ago!!!
What would've happened then, Fury didn't even want to imagine!
So the moment he saw Alaric, half his burden fell away.
And not just him; Hill and the operators too, once they recognized Alaric, clung to hope in despair — literally an explosion of relief!
Many girls cried from exhaustion and relief!
They swore that from now on, Alaric would be the only idol in their hearts!!
"Alaric? Fire!!"
As soon as he saw Alaric, Coulson ordered everyone to turn, aim, and open fire.
Seeing that, Alaric immediately activated his mental magic and released an invisible shockwave.
In the same instant, everyone under Amora's control felt like they'd been struck in the head with a hammer, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground.
"Alaric!"
"Wait…"
Fury saw the scene and was just about to yell for him to ease up, to see if anyone could be saved.
And in the next moment — they all fell.
Seeing that, Fury didn't blame Alaric, but Loki! And that damn "queen"!!
But despite his rage, when he looked at all those fallen agents, it hurt.
"Don't tell me you think I killed them?"
Alaric noticed how awful Fury looked and spoke up.
"They're not dead!?" Fury's jaw dropped.
"What do you think of me? I just removed their control."
As soon as he said that, a few agents woke up groaning.
Since Alaric had forcibly broken the control, their heads were pounding like hell.
Coulson also woke up and realized what had happened.
"Alaric, thank you!"
"Sir, I'm sorry!"
Coulson addressed them both.
"I don't blame you, but do you know who that woman was who controlled you?" Fury asked.
"I don't know, I didn't see any woman, I just suddenly heard someone's voice and… after that, I was like this."
Coulson shook his head.
"You continue, I'm going to check on Thor."
Alaric vanished in an instant.
Seeing that, Fury didn't ask further.
"First, restore communications! I want to know immediately what's going on outside!!"
...
Boom!
A figure flew out and crashed into a wall.
Thor got up, wiped his mouth, raised his hand and summoned Mjolnir.
Even against Hulk, Thor couldn't take it lightly.
He could take hits and strike back, but Hulk was endlessly strong!
If he didn't have Mjolnir in hand, it would've been a one-sided beating.
"Hulk!!"
Hulk roared and was just about to charge at Thor again.
"Stop."
Alaric suddenly appeared and placed his hand on Hulk's fist.
"Hulk!"
"It's me, your friend."
Alaric used mental magic to calm Hulk's rage.
"Hulk! Friend!!"
Hulk lowered his fist; he recognized Alaric.
"Yes, your friend."
Once Hulk calmed down, Alaric turned to Thor.
One mental strike — Thor collapsed to the ground.
No hesitation, straight to the point.
Then Alaric expanded his perception, scanned the entire Helicarrier, and with mental magic broke the control over everyone still enchanted, waking them.
At the same time, with a thought, the Helicarrier's engines, which were completely destroyed, began to regenerate.
This miraculous sight made everyone burst into joyful cheers!!
Natasha, seeing Clint suddenly lose consciousness, approached in confusion.
Captain Steve also ended the fight and returned.
Thor also came to.
At that moment, except for Tony, the Avengers were themselves again.
