Chapter 192: War (3)
Thump!!!
The thick white cocoon fell to the ground.
Peter casually tossed his shield to Captain.
Captain America caught the shield and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Well done, kid."
"It was nothing?"
Peter scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"He won't break free, will he?"
"My spider silk is incredibly strong and tensile. Just a single strand can support tons of weight. As for him—"
Peter glanced at the War Lord, who was now like a giant bug stuffed into a ball of spider silk.
"I admit he might be stronger than me, but it won't be easy for him to break free."
"That's good then..."
"Hey, why don't you guys rescue me before you start chatting?"
T'Challa's head popped out, saying.
"I can't get any leverage in this position..."
"Oh!" Peter covered his face and said apologetically, "Sorry, you were too dark, I didn't notice you were in here too."
"Uh, I meant your battle armor, not your skin..."
Peter worried he might have offended him, making him even more nervous.
"Alright, I don't mind."
"Hurry up, though."
T'Challa said.
He grew up in Wakanda, a black nation, and was its king. He wasn't like those American niggas who shoplifted and smoked weed all day, so he naturally didn't care about his skin color.
Captain America quickly went to pull the axe, but he couldn't even budge it at first.
After Peter lent a hand, the two of them managed to pull the nearly three-meter-long axe out of the wall and toss it onto the ground.
"It's almost as long as I am."
Peter said in surprise.
T'Challa, finally free, stretched his arms and let out a breath, saying:
"So, we won?"
"Of course—wait!"
Peter was about to nod, but at that moment, his Spider-Sense hit him like lightning.
He jolted and immediately turned to look at the War Lord, who was trapped like a mummy.
Immediately, the three of them watched as the white cocoon was instantly torn apart. The War Lord burst out and bared his fangs at them with a sinister grin.
"You think this could trap me?"
He sneered, but then his voice turned furious as he roared, "Don't treat me like that weakling Black Dwarf!"
The roar solidified into a physical force, turning into a sonic wave that blasted towards Peter and the other two.
Captain America gritted his teeth and covered his ears, but Peter pinched his nose.
"OMG, how long has it been since you brushed your teeth?"
"Your bad breath smells like a toilet that hasn't been cleaned in a month—I really wonder, do aliens not practice hygiene? Or do you guys not even have toothbrushes?"
"Let me squeeze some toothpaste for you."
Saying that, he raised his hand and shot two strands of spider silk at the War Lord, directly plastering his mouth shut.
War Lord: ...
The giant monster tore the spider silk from his mouth and looked at Peter and the other two with renewed fury.
"I'm about fed up with you weaklings."
He hooked a foot and flicked the battle axe Peter and the others had discarded towards himself.
The three-meter-long battle axe looked like a small toy in his hand.
Seeing this, Captain America and T'Challa immediately prepared for battle, but Peter remained frozen in place.
Because his Spider-Sense was screaming at him:
RUN!!!
"Run, Captain!"
Peter finally reacted and rushed towards Steve.
But it was still a step too slow.
The War Lord's battle axe suddenly erupted with a brilliant purple light!
The immense energy surged past its peak in an instant, and from the battle axe, a terrifying power transformed into a hurricane that swept towards them!
It made it impossible for anyone present to move.
The War Lord grinned triumphantly, and the next moment, the energy-charged battle axe swung down—
*BOOM!!!*
Instantly, a purple beam of light seemed to pierce the dark universe.
Everyone saw this strike.
The immense energy directly tore through a part of the giant Chitauri Beast's body, and the torrent of energy shot into space, even engulfing many Chitauri Soldiers.
The colossal beast let out a long, mournful cry.
From its gills, nearly a hundred meters of its body had been completely destroyed. The massive form instantly lost its balance and began to tumble.
"Captain?"
"Spider-Man?"
Falcon and the others, struggling to fight in space, immediately called out to Captain America.
But there was no response.
At the breach in the giant whale's body, everything was sucked into the vacuum of space due to the sudden pressure difference.
Only the War Lord's towering figure remained standing.
He didn't believe those three Earthlings could have survived such an attack. The power of this strike was even greater than Veronica's punch!
Even this Chitauri whale beneath his feet was on its last legs after this blow.
It wouldn't live much longer.
But the War Lord didn't care at all.
These things were merely massive biological weapons, sufficient to carry the Chitauri army to their destination.
Besides, as long as it was still breathing, it could still be of use!
The War Lord didn't return inside the beast. He leaped directly to the creature's head, standing atop the Chitauri Beast like a god of war.
He held the infinitely powerful battle axe vertically in front of him, as if in prayer for war.
"Charge!!"
"For War!!"
He roared.
In the soundless void of space, all the Chitauri seemed to receive some sort of pheromone, and their spirits immediately lifted.
Their fighting spirit intensified!
On the other hand, the heroes' morale had visibly dampened.
Sam and the others were still worried about Captain America and the others' safety, but the relentless waves of Chitauri Soldiers left them no time to think.
"Ben Parker!"
"How much longer are you going to take!"
Stark's voice boomed in Ben's earpiece.
"Your cousin is in trouble!"
"Calm down,"
Ben's voice echoed in Tony's ear. "Peter is fine."
He was confident about this.
After all, he had prepared Venom as a backup. The previous host of this guy was Deadpool. Even if Peter died, Venom's healing abilities would revive him.
At this moment—
On the outer shell of the giant Chitauri Beast, Peter, clad in black, his feet stuck to the beast's skin, looked at his hands in surprise.
The surge of power within him left him utterly astonished.
"This is..."
"Score!"
Venom's voice rang out in Peter's mind, startling him.
"What the heck was that?"
"Relax, kid!" Venom said.
"What? Who are you?"
"Who am I? No, no, no, it should be 'Who are we'!" Venom corrected.
"Us?"
"That's right!" Venom grinned, "We are Venom!"
"What?" Peter still couldn't figure out what was going on.
But Venom couldn't wait any longer. He charged out like a monster, dragging Peter with him, and lunged at a Chitauri soldier riding a hoverboard, then brutally snapped its neck!
"Let us go on a killing spree!"
"We are Venom!!"
Venom quickly drew everyone's attention. After all, he looked like Spider-Man and Black Panther had merged.
However, Black Panther indicated he was still alive.
His battle suit could provide temporary oxygen. He was currently leading Captain America, who was bound in a cocoon of spider silk, to an Iron Armor and stuffed Captain America inside.
He himself also found an armor to wear.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But more and more Chitauri soldiers continued to put immense pressure on everyone.
Tony still had the same problem.
"Not ready yet?!"
This time, he received a definite answer from Ben.
"Ready."
Inside the satellite.
Ben looked at all the information and text displayed on the instrument and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The program for the Cosmic Cube had finally been cracked. Now, as long as he pressed the button, he could immediately activate the cube's energy and envelop the entire Earth with the shield.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Tony shouted.
"Of course, I'm waiting for you all to retreat inside the protective net," Ben said. "Tony, lure that big guy over here too."
"What, are you crazy—wait, you mean?"
Tony understood Ben's intention.
He clearly intended to use the moment the energy barrier activated, leveraging its power, to slice the giant Chitauri Beast in half!
"I have to remind you, the guy who beat up Old Ice Pop is right on top of the beast. This will bring him down to Earth with it."
"Falling from outside the atmosphere should be enough to kill him," Ben said.
"Even if that doesn't work, we still have Four Arms."
"Then I'll listen to you!"
Tony decided to take the gamble.
He yelled into the communicator, "Everyone prepare to evacuate—where's Natasha?"
Natasha connected to the comms, "I'm still inside the beast's body. I blew up their hatchery. I might not make it out in time..."
Hearing this, Ben said, "Try to move towards the beast's head. We'll rescue you before it crashes."
"Understood!"
After arranging everything, Ben let out a sigh of relief, his finger hovering over the button, waiting for all the heroes to evacuate.
Thus, the battle lines in the sky began to advance towards Earth's atmosphere.
The other smaller Chitauri beasts had not yet been completely eliminated. They clung to the sides of the giant monster like fish in the deep sea, seemingly escorting it, or perhaps like children clinging to their mother.
At this moment, another voice echoed in the empty satellite.
"You can't activate the cube."
It was Loki.
Ben turned his head and saw Loki, who had disappeared for a long time.
Loki looked very disheveled.
He was covered in wounds, and his magnificent robes were tattered, as if he had returned to being a slave on Sakaar.
He frowned slightly, his gaze towards Loki turning questioning, not only asking why but also about Loki's condition.
But Loki didn't have time to explain. He panted and said with difficulty:
"This is a trap."
"Once the cube is activated, you'll fall into Thanos's scheme..."
Thanks to Daerb for the 500-point tip, thank you, baby!!!
