Laughter echoed.
In the sky, a massive blue light circle opened, just like the portal that appeared during the Battle of New York. From inside the portal, a colossal steel behemoth emerged, its scarlet mechanical eyes glowing. With a heavy swing of its body, it began to soar upward.
Roar!
The giant Leviathan let out a thunderous roar, a shockwave of sound sweeping across the Avengers in an instant. The Fury clone soldiers who had been charging forward suddenly froze in place.
"F*k, the Leviathan's alive!"
Standing beside Phil Coulson, Tony Stark could no longer hide the unease on his face. His mustache twitched as his expression twisted in disbelief.
In Siberia, inside Baron Strucker's HYDRA base, Tony had once seen this very Leviathan. Back then, he hadn't paid much attention to it—after all, it had appeared dormant. But now he realized how badly he had underestimated it.
Rumble!
The enormous Leviathan swooped downward, the air around it exploding into violent waves. The hurricane-force winds made it nearly impossible for anyone on the ground to keep their eyes open.
Bang, bang, bang!
The Fury clone troops raised their power rifles, faces expressionless, and unleashed a volley of fire.
Peng, peng, peng!
Blue energy blasts struck the Leviathan in the sky, but they couldn't teleport it away—or even harm it in the slightest.
"Kill them, Leviathan."
Inside his steel exo-suit, Mechanic No. 3 sneered as he gave the order to attack.
Kakaka!
At the command, massive blue beams erupted from the Leviathan's sides, raining down like missiles.
Rumble!
Columns of energy slammed into the ground, instantly blasting apart a dozen Fury clones. The remaining twenty scrambled desperately to dodge the bombardment.
"Thor, now's your time to shine."
Tony's expression turned grim as he glanced at the giant beast overhead.
"I am a god. I am the son of Odin—Thor Odinson! A mere Leviathan monster is no match for me!"
Thor raised Mjolnir and hurled himself at the monster, lightning crackling as he struck.
Boom!
The blow smashed into the Leviathan, forcing it downward by ten meters. Electricity ravaged its steel frame, frying components and drawing a deafening roar from the beast.
Its crimson eyes flared in a cross-shaped glow, locking onto Thor. The creature opened its jagged maw and unleashed a thick beam of scarlet energy.
Peng!
Thor swung Mjolnir to shield himself, blocking the deadly blast.
But the Leviathan hadn't aimed at him at all. After the beam, it dove straight down, maw wide open, and swallowed the last of the Fury clone soldiers—chewing through them along with the street beneath their feet.
"Shit! Phil, I think we should fall back."
Sweat dripped down Tony's temple as he turned to Coulson.
Phil's eyes widened in horror as he caught sight of Thor leaping onto the Leviathan's back, hammer raised high.
Boom!
Mjolnir came crashing down, divine power forcing the massive beast into the ground, carving a deep ravine. But it quickly rose again.
Boom, boom, boom!
Its metallic scales split open, revealing rows of cannons. Dozens of blue beams shot out, blasting at Thor.
"This Leviathan has been… modified," Thor muttered, his tone tinged with helplessness as he darted away.
The beast rolled midair, unleashing more blasts at the ground. Coulson and his agents scrambled, barely escaping.
Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, and even Steve Rogers struggled to dodge the relentless assault. For once, even Captain America found himself cornered.
Then—
Whoosh!
Yo-Yo sped across the battlefield in a blur. In the blink of an eye, she appeared beside Clint and Natasha, hauling them both away before vanishing again. A second later, she returned with Steve, depositing all three safely by Coulson's side.
Her ability to slingshot herself back to her starting point after bursts of super-speed had earned her the codename "Yo-Yo."
"Quick, Fitz—activate the access module!"
Fitz frantically worked a control panel. Above them, a Quinjet released a white induction capsule that descended rapidly, shielding Coulson and the others inside.
Rumble!
The Leviathan's glowing eyes fixed on the Quinjet, its massive frame rushing forward to engulf it.
"Hey, big guy—your fight's with me!"
Thor flew in, spinning Mjolnir before slamming it against the creature's chin. The sheer force knocked the Leviathan back. It snapped its jaws at Thor, but he narrowly escaped the bite. Even with a godly body, he dared not test those fangs.
Thanks to Thor's interference, Coulson and his team boarded the Quinjet. Melinda May took the controls, piloting them quickly out of Seoul.
"Escaped? Doesn't matter. They're just pawns," Mechanic No. 3 sneered, watching the Quinjet retreat. He turned his attention back to Thor.
Lightning surged over Thor's body as he raised Mjolnir once more, but even he knew when to retreat. With a grim look, he flew off into the distance.
"He runs fast," No. 3 remarked. "What's the status of the main body?"
"The pineal system is nearly complete," Mechanic No. 4's voice answered solemnly. "Now, it's time to extract the Mind Stone."
The Mind Stone—one of the six Infinity Stones—held unparalleled psychic power. Their next move had to be flawless.
