"Did you all hear what he said?" the Captain asked, his tone carrying both awe and concern.
"Hard to believe those heroic words came from a guy who robbed me," Tony muttered, sounding more annoyed than ever.
Hawkeye smirked. "Stark, I think there's been some misunderstanding. Maybe he took your armor because he had no other choice."
"No! No misunderstanding, Robin," Tony snapped, deliberately teasing Hawkeye with the nickname. "He's a thief! He stole two of my armors! Both of them were my latest, top-tier models!" His voice dripped with frustration.
The Captain cut in, his voice firm. "Focus. He's already entered the space portal. I'm going to shut it down. Next step—counterattack!"
The team immediately straightened, their fighting spirit reignited.
"Understood, Captain!"
Outer Space
Fenric soared through the portal, emerging into the dark void of space.
"Warning! Master, you have entered outer space. The armor's oxygen reserve is insufficient. Please return to Earth's atmosphere as soon as possible," Tsunade's voice—calm but urgent—echoed in his mind.
Fenric chuckled. "Relax, Tsunade."
Opening his mask, he was instantly assaulted by a crushing force. His blood vessels pulsed dangerously. If not for his inhuman physique, they would have burst on the spot.
Outer space was lethal.
No air. No pressure.
The drastic pressure difference alone could make an ordinary human's body swell and rupture.
Even if one could somehow breathe, they wouldn't survive for long.
Fenric wasn't ordinary, but even he couldn't stay out here forever.
"Master, you're doing something extremely reckless," Tsunade's voice urged again. "In your current condition, ten minutes out here is enough to kill you."
"Ten minutes?" Fenric grinned. "Plenty of time."
He took out an advanced oxygen mask. The moment it touched his face, it molded seamlessly to his features, allowing him to breathe naturally.
Re-sealing his armor helmet, Fenric asked, "Tsunade, how's my status now?"
"Master, with that mask, you can survive until your armor's energy runs out."
Fenric glanced at the energy indicator—56% remaining.
"More than enough."
Ahead, the void was filled with massive Chitauri warships.
The largest one—like a colossal floating fortress—loomed in the shadows, its hull glinting with a cold, metallic sheen.
The Chitauri had already spotted him. They rushed toward him in a storm of ships and beasts.
Though their mouths opened in furious roars, Fenric heard nothing—space swallowed all sound.
Fenric opened his mask slightly, eyes blazing with a cold, imperious light.
Om—
Fenric's Conqueror's Haki erupted.
An invisible wave tore through the void, distorting the very space around him.
In an instant, countless Chitauri soldiers lost consciousness, their bodies floating unconscious. Their ships, suddenly unmanned, collided with each other and exploded—silent, fireless bursts in the vacuum.
Fenric's current mastery of Conqueror's Haki was at the Proficient level—powerful enough to overwhelm ordinary enemies with ease.
The Chitauri soldiers weren't dead, merely knocked out cold.
Even so, the result was devastating. Within moments, the entire void fell silent—except for the few massive war beasts still charging.
"Perfect," Fenric muttered. "Clears out the trash in one sweep."
Without this ability, mowing down millions of Chitauri would take him days.
But now, with a single glare, the battlefield was his.
Inside the Chitauri Warship
A black-robed commander stared in disbelief as Fenric single-handedly wiped out his forces. Panic gripped him.
He scrambled to a console, frantically activating the communication link.
Moments later, a holographic projection filled the chamber.
Seated on a dark throne was a Titan—his massive frame covered in golden armor, his expression cold and commanding.
His skin was a deep violet, his gaze sharp like a blade.
The black-robed commander dropped to his knees. "Master!"
The Titan's deep, ancient voice rumbled through the projection. "Why do you call me?"
"My lord," the commander stammered, his head low, "there is a powerful human. He has disrupted our plans, closed the portal, and is attacking KTYB-11."
The Titan tilted his head, a hint of interest flickering in his eyes. "Oh?"
"What are your orders?" the commander asked nervously.
"Hold your position. I will come."
Boom—
Fenric's thrusters flared, propelling him toward the giant warship.
The remaining beasts lunged to intercept him.
Their sheer size made them dangerous, but also predictable.
Fenric danced between them, his movements swift and lethal.
Still, these creatures had clearly been ordered to stop him at any cost—even if it meant colliding with each other.
