Peter also felt a sense of helplessness.
Obviously, today was his first day as a superhero!
Is everything really coming to an end already!?
"Alaric… What should we do?"
Gwen looked at Alaric, frightened.
"It'll be fine, leave it to me."
Alaric gently stroked her hair and smiled softly.
"Mr. Alaric! Please, save the world!"
Peter's eyes were red as he looked at Alaric seriously.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, this world won't be destroyed."
Alaric smiled, then pulled her mask back over her face.
"Don't forget that you are also superheroes, don't give up so easily unless it's truly the last moment."
"Sorry! I'll remember that, Mr. Alaric!!"
Peter looked determined and cursed his own weakness internally!
He still had so much to learn!
Truly, Mr. Alaric was worthy of being his role model!!
"Alaric! Can I come live with you?!"
Gwen suddenly blurted out.
"Ha?"
"Nothing… We'll talk later, when all this is over!"
Gwen quickly lowered her head, her face blushing, luckily, she had her mask on!
"Wait for me to come back~"
Alaric said, then soared into the sky.
Gwen and Peter looked up, and then Peter suddenly asked:
"Gwen, you love Mr. Alaric, don't you?"
"Yes." Gwen nodded.
"Then you've got to try your best~" Peter encouraged her.
...
"Alaric…"
In London, Jane and Darcy hugged each other, looked toward the sky, and unconsciously said his name.
"Jane! Your boyfriend will succeed, right?"
"He will! I believe in him! He can do anything!!"
Jane was completely sure of it.
...
"Alaric… Alaric!!"
Amora watched as Alaric rose toward the sky and couldn't hold back from shouting his name.
She didn't know if it was because someone heard Amora's shout, or because Steve and the others, in front of many people, had also said his name and cheered him on, but the voices calling out for Alaric started echoing everywhere!
Even those who only knew him by his heroic name, silently prayed for the "Magical Mage," hoping Alaric would succeed!
...
"Alaric!!"
Loki screamed toward the silhouette below!
"Is that Alaric the one who just stopped my army?"
A voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Ebony Maw? You came personally!?"
Loki was surprised.
"Of course, what did you think, where did all these Leviathan monsters come from?"
Ebony Maw calmly floated beside him.
In truth, he also let out a sigh of relief inside, it was good he came, good he brought enough troops!
Because just that one moment almost wiped out the entire army they had sent to support Loki!!
But that only proves that this Alaric is truly very dangerous, worth handling personally.
"He is the last hope of Earth."
Ebony Maw said calmly.
"Exactly! Just kill him and Earth is ours!"
Loki gritted his teeth.
"Leave that to me." Ebony Maw clasped his hands behind his back, full of confidence.
One hero from a backward planet, even if a bit powerful, could not possibly be a match for Ebony Maw.
He was the personal servant of the great Thanos, the leader of the Black Order, the lord among the Obsidian Five, the strongest mage, Ebony Maw!!
Loki calmed down a bit after hearing his words.
"Alaric, you finally showed up!" Loki looked at him with hatred in his eyes.
"Loki, once again, you've chosen the wrong side." Alaric shook his head.
"And you are… Ebony Maw, right?"
Alaric turned and looked at the familiar figure.
"You know me?" Ebony Maw was surprised.
"Yeah. So you're the one who brought all this? Makes sense, Thanos doesn't have the guts to come to Earth himself."
Alaric said calmly.
"Insolent mortal! How dare you speak that way about the great Thanos!!"
Ebony Maw flared up at Alaric's tone, which was even more arrogant than his own.
Though it's true that Thanos, because of Odin and the Ancient One, didn't dare set foot on Earth lightly, but who was this man to say it!?
"Honestly, I originally thought that you would at least broaden the Earthlings' horizons a little and give the Avengers a chance to be tested and build trust among themselves."
Alaric shook his head.
"But I didn't expect you to act so rudely, that you'd even send Ebony Maw personally. I must admit, you surprised me."
"What does that mean? You think you can still handle the army behind me!?"
Loki felt a lump in his throat at Alaric's words.
"Hmph! Enough talk, let me send you before the great Tha... Uh!"
Ebony Maw furiously raised his hand toward Alaric, intending to tear him apart.
But before he could finish his sentence, his body trembled, jerked forward, and in the next moment, Alaric already had his neck gripped with one hand, and Ebony Maw couldn't even speak.
He looked at Alaric in terror, his magic had no effect!
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't even move Alaric!!
"You really think you're something special? Unless Thanos gathers all six Infinity Stones and tries to wipe me out with a snap, maybe then he'd have a chance to defeat me."
"But, unfortunately for you, I won't give him that chance."
Alaric shook his head.
Ebony Maw was completely shocked.
In Alaric's eyes, he saw only horror.
Because he realized that Alaric knew Thanos's intent.
And he knew about handling the Infinity Stones!
At that moment, Ebony Maw bitterly regretted it.
Regretted coming to Earth. Regretted coming to help Loki.
And at the same time, he wanted to warn Thanos, but he couldn't.
"Goodbye. Give my regards to your great Thanos."
Alaric clenched his fingers; with a "crack," Ebony Maw's neck broke. Alaric let him fall.
"You… What are you planning…"
Loki swallowed hard; his heart was pounding wildly!!
He looked at Alaric with true fear, realizing he had underestimated his strength once again.
Especially when he saw that Ebony Maw, whom he thought was terrifyingly powerful, didn't survive even a single move.
That was terrifying.
At that moment, Loki only worried that Alaric might decide to kill him too.
"Uncle… Uncle! I was wrong!!"
Loki quickly kneeled on the flying platform and began to beg for mercy.
"I'll deal with you later."
Alaric said, then raised his gaze to the beasts charging downward and stretched out his palm.
In his hand, a black sphere slowly appeared.
Then, under Alaric's control, it flew upward.
"Chibaku… Tensei…"
Alaric murmured.
A black hole rose above New York, growing larger, and its powerful gravity began to take effect, tearing the surrounding space, ripping apart the Leviathans that came near it.
"Roooar!!"
The black hole opened above New York and began devouring everything in the sky.
