The black hole that appeared above New York surprised everyone, but they knew it was created by Alaric, so they anxiously watched to see what would happen.
Many knew how powerful black holes were; everyone was terrified, Alaric could actually create, and even control, a black hole!?
Especially the scientists, they all shouted and claimed that it was impossible!!
Others were more worried, afraid: what if the black hole swallowed the entire New York!?
And so, under the gaze of countless people, countless giant monsters roared as gravity pulled them into the black hole, turning them directly into dust and making them disappear!
Moreover, the range of the black hole, under Alaric's control, didn't affect a single person or a single building on the ground in New York!
No one felt any pulling force, but from the roars of those behemoths, they could tell that the black hole was real and how immense its power was!
Even the pillar of light maintaining the space teleportation began to distort.
You see, a black hole is a celestial body with such curvature of space-time that even light cannot escape its event horizon!
That's why Alaric, seeing that the portal would soon close due to the black hole's influence, quickly controlled the black hole to shoot through the portal, go into the opposite universe, and charge straight toward the Chitauri Legion's spaceship.
Then everyone saw a strange sight: those Chitauri and Leviathan behemoths that hadn't yet been swallowed, rushed back through the portal and flew back!
"Oh my God!"
"Is this magic? This is a miracle!!"
"No, Alaric is a god!"
"Yes! He's invincible! The strongest being!!"
"The strongest superhero!!"
"Magical Mage! The only God!!"
"My faith!!"
...
"So… We're saved!?"
"We survived!!"
"Magical Mage saved the world!!"
"Magical Mage!!"
"Alaric!!"
...
Countless people saw the aliens flying backward and returning the same way, and finally realized, they were saved!
They survived thanks to Alaric!!
Alaric saved the world!!
Yes, for countless people, those monsters that covered the sky were their end, the end of the entire world!
They couldn't even imagine what kind of world they'd live in if not for Alaric!
Without Alaric, how could they go on living!!
Even though there were still many aliens on the ground, they were no longer afraid! No longer worried!
Because they had Alaric!
And because the superheroes were here!
Their homeland was saved!!
Countless people looked at the silhouette in the sky and couldn't stop their tears!
And those desperate people who had just been praying to God, began to invoke Alaric instead of God and pray to Alaric!
Now, to them, Alaric was the only true god!
The only savior who had truly saved them!!
...
"Uff! Alaric… There really are people like that in the world."
Steve finally let out a breath and sat down right on the ground.
"What else could possibly surprise us now." Natasha, equally exhausted, said from the side.
"Truly… but luckily we have Alaric!" Steve sighed.
Before that, he thought he'd probably die along with those monsters.
...
"Teacher, teacher! Alaric did it!!"
Clea screamed with excitement!
"Yes, he did."
The Ancient One looked up at Alaric, who stood like a god, and felt endless emotions and complex feelings in her heart.
She remembered when Alaric had just started learning magic from her, he knew nothing, but little by little, he learned faster and faster, so fast that the Ancient One no longer had anything to teach him.
At that time, she just thought that Alaric was abnormally talented and had been blessed by the god of magic.
But later events showed that Alaric wasn't just a demon of talent, he himself was a miracle!
And today, Alaric had surpassed her.
"Teacher, what kind of magic is this! It's so powerful!!"
"I don't know, this is probably Alaric's own creation." The Ancient One shook her head.
"Clea, you need to learn magic from Alaric, he is the most powerful of all mages."
"Yes!! I will!!"
...
"Alaric! You're not just the hero who saved the world, you're also my hero!"
Amora clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Alaric's shining figure.
In this life, meeting Alaric was the greatest blessing of her life!
Amora felt that she had finally found meaning!
She had waited six hundred years and finally found her home!
She couldn't help but thank Loki, luckily he pulled her out of prison!
...
"He really did it!"
"Is there anyone on this Earth who can be his opponent?"
"If Alaric wanted, couldn't he rule the entire Earth!?"
"People like that can't be commanded, we can only curry favor with them!!"
The members of Congress shouted over one another, and in the end unanimously declared that they would treat Alaric with goodwill, and that even if Alaric made certain requests, they would accept everything!!!
Compared to losing a bit of power, money, or other material things, they were far more afraid of offending Alaric and pushing him to the opposite side of humanity!
If Alaric one day wanted to become king of Earth, they wouldn't even have time to cry!!
"..."
Fury stood to the side, watching their "plan," shook his head, and left.
To himself, he said: I told you long ago not to mess with people like Alaric, and now you're scared, huh?
Serves you right!!
At the same time, Fury was truly happy: with Alaric here, he no longer had to fear threats from beyond Earth so much!
At that moment, Fury's eyes were almost wet from excitement!
It's a good thing we have Alaric!
"Yaaay!!"
"Alaric!!"
"Amazing!!"
"We're saved!!"
As soon as he stepped out the control room door, Fury heard cheers and screams inside, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
He even saw his cold-blooded right hand, Hill, jumping for joy along with the others, completely unlike her usual self.
But this time, they had more than enough reason for it.
...
"Alaric! He did it!!"
Gwen shouted!
"Yes! Mr. Alaric!!"
Peter also jumped with joy!
Now that's the kind of superhero he wants to be!
...
"Really… it's over!?"
Loki was kneeling to the side, looking at the decreasing number of Chitauri in the sky and couldn't form a sentence.
The good news was that earlier he wasn't wrong to consider Alaric the main opponent.
The bad news was, he still lost.
Alaric truly cannot be defeated!
...
On the other side of the portal, aboard the spaceship.
"What is that!? A black hole!?"
"Where is Ebony Maw!? Run!"
"Hurry, we need to escape!!"
The remaining Chitauri on the ship looked in horror at the approaching black hole and screamed.
"It's too late. We can't escape."
The inescapable gravity had already pulled them in.
They could only helplessly watch as the immense force dragged them, tore them apart, and destroyed them.
When the entire fleet disappeared, many of the Chitauri on the ground in New York suddenly lost power and collapsed one after another.
Everyone who saw it knew that the war was over.
And that they were the only side that achieved victory!!
Countless people, as well as the entire Earth, were saved thanks to Alaric!!
They survived!!
