BOOM——
A gigantic mecha fist slammed down vertically.
The blue particle stream jetting continuously from the Gundam's arm pushed the power of this punch beyond the mechanical limit of the mecha itself.
The Boxer Gundam, true to its name, shattered the Stone Demon in front of it instantly with an incredibly violent punch.
The Hulk, who arrived half a beat late, could only angrily grab the largest fragment of the Stone Demon and smash it fiercely at the surrounding ordinary demons knocked down by the shockwave.
After quickly dispatching this big guy that posed a greater threat to others, Luca didn't idle.
While controlling the twin Vulcan cannons on the Gundam's head to strafe the gathering of demons below, he didn't forget to instruct his AI.
"Hakimi, have Spot establish portals and deploy Mechanical Squads 1 to 4 here. I need this force to intercept the demons on the periphery as much as possible. Don't let them run out of New York!"
As his voice fell, in corners unseen by the Avengers, inky black portals opened one after another.
And the mechanical army in the Sokovia armory moved quickly. Mechas, tanks, aircraft... countless unmanned legions stepped onto the battlefield in an orderly manner.
However, although under Luca's authorization, Sokovia could be considered militaristic...
But since its industrial start was relatively late, these fully intelligent mechanized legions were fine against Wakanda with its insufficient population, but facing this endless army of demons, they were still inadequate. They could barely act as support on the periphery to control the speed of demon expansion.
However, compared to the overall strength...
In terms of individual combat power, the Boxer Gundam equipped with the Hex Solar Furnace was simply unstoppable against these ordinary demon fodders.
Especially in New York City, which was now devoid of ordinary civilians, the Boxer Gundam could unleash its full power, annihilating countless demons with a wave of its hand.
Another round of HN missile salvos. Amidst the continuous explosion roars, demons within a radius of hundreds of meters, along with the surrounding buildings and greenery, were instantly razed to the ground.
As for the few demons that survived by luck, Luca didn't even bother wasting energy using weapons. He just stomped a few times with thud thud thud, crushing them all.
"Tony! Look at the invention Luca came up with! Why didn't you think of building some large mechas?!"
Rhodes, who was originally quite satisfied with his shoulder-mounted minigun, now looked at the giant Gundam in the distance and compared it with the small water pistols on his armor, feeling incredibly sour.
However, facing his friend's complaint, Tony didn't reply.
Because the next moment, the remotely deployed Veronica armor had arrived.
Although the height of the Mark 44 Veronica armor after assembly was less than seven meters, it just happened to form a 'Large, Medium, Small' contrast between the Boxer Gundam and the Iron Patriot armor.
Watching helplessly as his little buddy who was just as tall as him transformed into a 'giant,' Rhodes hovered in mid-air with a defeated look on his face. He held it in for a long time before uttering a sentence.
"This? Is there any more? Get me a set too!"
"Model mismatch..."
On the other side, thanks to the Boxer Gundam piloted by Luca showing off its power, and dozens of intelligent mechas of the same model as 'Erha' escorting...
The continuously emerging demons around posed no threat to the Avengers. In a short time, there was even a trend of the surrounding demons being cleared and pushed back.
Even 'ordinary human combatants' like Captain America and Black Widow could calmly deal with the few fish that slipped through the net.
Hawkeye, relying on the energy bow upgraded by Luca, even fought with the momentum of a one-man army.
However, winning in local skirmishes couldn't solve any problems.
Although due to Kamar-Taj's intervention, the Avengers no longer had the urgent pressure of evacuating civilians...
But everyone still faced a difficult problem.
That was, how to confine these crazy demons within New York before the full army arrived.
Although, at this time, the Avengers had tacitly accepted that New York would become a protracted battlefield in the future...
But now that the army hadn't arrived yet, allowing demons to expand their range of activities wantonly would make pushing them back and confining them to a fixed area geometrically more difficult later.
And actually, there were only two ways to achieve this.
One was to kill!
Kill all demons attempting to run out of New York.
But relying solely on these Avengers and Luca's mechanical army, at most they could only slow down the expansion of demons. If they could intercept perfectly, there would be no need to wait for the subsequent army to arrive.
The other way could only be forcing their way into the Hell Dimension and temporarily destroying this round of portals first.
In that case, after the army fully arrived and fortifications were built, opening a new round of portals would be easier to deal with.
Obviously, more than one person present thought of these problems.
A shield throw hit a demon right in the head.
Seeing this big-mouthed demon biting his shield directly, Steve leaped forward decisively and kicked the edge of the shield.
Under considerable force, the Vibranium shield instantly sliced into the big-mouthed demon's mouth, cutting half of its head into pieces.
However, after picking up his shield again, Steve suddenly remembered the demon last time that could still move a few times with half a head gone. So he backhanded two shield bashes until the demon's entire head was shattered, then gasped and straightened up.
Glancing at the still continuous flow of demons around, Steve calmed his breathing and pressed his communication earpiece, speaking quickly.
"This won't work. It feels like there are more and more demons the more we kill. We must find a way to break into Hell and close these portals."
At this time, before anyone else could reply, Wong, who was 'blocking the door' at Tony's villa, spoke first.
"If you haven't found a way to permanently close the portals yet, I can arrange for people to block the entrances of the Hell Gates with portals."
"But the premise is to clear the demons near the Hell Gates that need to be blocked. Otherwise, it's hard for ordinary mages to protect themselves while maintaining the portal."
In fact, Wong was right. There were very few in the entire Kamar-Taj who could play with portals as smoothly as he did.
Maintaining a portal with his left hand to block the Hell Gate entrance, and opening another portal with his right hand to slice any demons running over from other gates into pieces like a flying wheel.
However, hearing him say this and recalling the scene just now, Luca asked somewhat curiously.
"Where does the portal you use to block the door send the demons? Back to Hell?"
