Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Nine streams of light, like living spirits, landed precisely into the hands of their respective owners.
The golden bracers clicked onto Gwen's wrists, the light of the divine power crystals flickering like breath.
The sharp, cold-glinting claws landed in Felicia's hands. She put them on and let out a satisfied chuckle.
The Sun and Moon blades landed in Natasha's palms. She casually spun the blades, the edges bringing up a cold silver light that seemed to slice through the very air.
The brass knuckles fit perfectly between Daisy's fingers, and she could feel them resonating strangely with the Quake power within her.
The shield, resembling the Nioh Shield, was instinctively caught by Captain America with his other hand.
The moment the shield touched his hand, a warm and majestic power surged from the shield's surface into his arm, flowing throughout his entire body.
His dislocated left arm automatically reset within this majestic and warm power; all his fatigue, pain, and injuries vanished the moment the shield touched his palm!
Replacing them was an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and power!
"This is..." Captain America looked at the new shield in his hand, shocked.
He could clearly feel that this shield seemed to be conversing with his will; the more firm his determination to protect everything was, the more vast the power the shield fed back to him!
At the same time, the energy cannon components automatically embedded into Tony's damaged armor with a "hum."
Countless nanoparticles surged out like a tide, quickly repairing all the defects, and the luster on the armor's surface was even brighter than before!
Tony looked down at the energy readings on the HUD interface that were jumping wildly, even breaking through the upper limit, his voice trembling slightly:
"These energy readings... Peter, did you f*cking shove a miniature Sun in there?"
Hawkeye caressed the longbow in his hand as if examining a piece of art. The moment his fingers grazed the bow, he felt his body become lighter.
Following the thought the artifact conveyed to him, he instinctively plucked the bowstring, and an emerald green arrow condensed from wind elements formed instantly!
Golden steel wings unfolded behind Harry with a "clang," lifting him easily from the ground and suspending him in mid-air.
He flapped his wings in surprise and let out an excited shout:
"Woohoo~ This feeling... is much more convenient than using a glider!"
Finally, an ancient octagonal steel whip landed in Peter's own hands—it was the God-Beating Whip!
He held the steel whip, pointing it from afar at the grim-faced Cul and his subordinates, The Worthy, a satisfied smile appearing on his face:
"Weapons distributed, energy recharged."
His gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on The Worthy opposite him, whose expressions were uncertain and suspicious.
"You don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded instinctively.
Captain America even tapped his new shield with his original round shield, producing a series of clanging thuds, while loudly shouting that familiar slogan:
"Avengers... Assemble!"
All over the world, the weeping stopped.
The prayers stopped.
Everyone stared fixedly at the projection in the sky, their eyes bursting with a long-lost glimmer called hope.
On the battlefield, the Superheroes all moved in unison.
The divine power crystals on Gwen's bracers lit up. She raised her hands, and two golden spider webs shot through the air, heading straight for Sin.
Countless imperceptible space-locking inscriptions within the spider webs activated.
An invisible force field enveloped a fifty-meter radius around Sin.
Sin's pupils constricted.
She instinctively wanted to use her teleportation ability to distance herself and carefully examine the extraordinary nature of these spider webs.
But the result was failure.
"What?!"
Sin's expression changed.
She tried again.
But the result was still failure.
The space was locked down!
In that split second of distraction, two cold lights cut in simultaneously from the left and right sides.
Natasha had arrived.
The Sun blade in her left hand slashed horizontally; the cold air erupting from the blade was no weaker than the frost released by the hammer of skadi in Sin's hand.
The two cold currents collided, freezing the air within several meters; ice crystals condensed in mid-air into prism-like shapes.
Sin raised her hammer to block.
She blocked it.
This discovery made a smile appear on her face once again:
"Looks like the artifact you obtained is nothing more than this!"
She had just wanted to say a harsh word.
The next second, the Moon blade in Natasha's hand followed!
The Moon blade cut in from below.
The moment the realm-breaking inscription activated, the layer of divine power armor provided by the hammer of skadi on Sin was like thin paper. The blade grazed her ribs, drawing out a line of blood.
Sin gasped, unable to help looking down at the wound on her ribs—although it wasn't deep, the psychological shock brought by that defense-ignoring slash far exceeded the physical pain.
Before, even if this woman had tried her best, she was nothing but a living target!
But now, she had actually easily inflicted a heavy injury on her?
She instinctively wanted to distance herself from Natasha, but just as she made the move, she felt a sense of sluggishness acting upon her.
She belatedly looked up at Gwen, who had shot the spider webs, and saw a harmless smile appearing on the other's face:
"Where do you want to go?"
...
On the other side.
Mokk believed that this fragile ant, Captain America, even with the protection of an artifact, could not possibly be stronger than himself, who had been strengthened by his Master again.
So, he held the Hammer of the Fallen high and smashed it toward Captain America again.
At the exact same angle and with the exact same force as before.
But this time, the result was completely different.
The Nioh Shield blocked the path of the attack.
Boom!
The shockwave spread in all directions.
Mokk's body was shaken back three steps.
Three steps.
He had retreated three steps.
And Captain America... didn't budge at all!
For the first time, a look of confusion appeared on Mokk's petrified face.
He looked down at his hammer, then looked up at the shield emitting a soft light in Captain America's hand.
Captain America didn't give him time to think.
He pushed the Nioh Shield forward, forcing Mokk to retreat a step.
Immediately after, the round shield in his right hand flew out, accurately hitting Mokk in the face before bouncing back to his hand.
Previously, this attack, which felt like scratching an itch, now made Mokk's body stagger.
Just at the moment he lost his balance, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind him.
It was Harry.
Golden wings fully unfolded behind him, and the iron feathers on the wings fell, turning into flying feathers that filled the sky, stabbing toward Mokk in an overwhelming manner.
Mokk was entirely petrified; physical attacks were almost ineffective against him. The feathers pinned onto him, leaving only shallow white marks.
He revealed a silly smile, preparing to mock Harry for overestimating himself.
The next second, he saw another figure flash in front of him—it was Felicia!
The sharp claws pierced into the gaps of Mokk's petrified skin on his chest—the first claw.
A divine power mark was branded.
Mokk felt the strange sensation from his chest and instinctively wanted to retreat.
But he couldn't retreat; Captain America slammed into him from the side, his strengthened power making it impossible for him to resist!
It was also at this moment that Felicia's second claw landed in the same spot as before.
Boom!
The divine power mark was instantly detonated.
Fragments of Mokk's petrified skin, which he was proud of and which could withstand all physical attacks, splattered everywhere, revealing the blood-red, violently writhing muscle tissue inside!
Mokk let out a painful roar, his body falling backward violently.
For the first time, the fearless monster felt what pain was!
