"Boom!"
A dazzling dark green light fell from the sky and hit the streets of Manhattan, smashing the glorious Times Square into pieces. A moment later, a stone giant with flames all over its body stood up from the impact dent and let out a silent roar. Beside it was a hellish scene. Demons were dancing wildly, wantonly killing those panicked humans on the streets.
In the higher sky, a terrible crack shone with the halo of another world, like a gate to another world. Swarms of demonic bats wandered around in the dim sky, and nothing could escape their attacks. Looking down from the sky, the place where the Gate of Hell appeared was a constantly spreading ring. The dark green light surged quickly in all directions, eroding the city.
The Gate of Hell opened in the most prosperous heart of human civilization. It was like the end of the world, and it was coming.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!"
The incumbent president looked through the porthole of Air Force One and looked out of the window at the group of fighters fighting with the ghosts from hell, gargoyles, demonic bats, and terrible bone dragons. Every time the fighter burst into flames, it would make the old man's heart tighten. Beside him, the Department of Defense and Congress, who had survived the first wave of attacks by the demons and the dead souls, were also watching all this.
No one spoke in the big cabin, only the old president's sad voice could be heard.
"I have imagined countless times how our civilization will end. It may be destroyed by internal wars, or by wars from extraterrestrial civilizations, or even by natural changes, but I never thought that I would see all this in my lifetime, and in this way!"
"These monsters! The monsters that exist in our history, but can only be regarded as ghost stories by us. Do you see them? They are wantonly trampling on our dignity and trampling on our world. At this moment, I just want to ask everyone … Where is our counterattack? What about SHIELD? 3% of the country's annual tax revenue is used for its construction. What about now? "
The old president turned his head and looked at the silent Nick. Fury with burning eyes. "Tell me, Director, in the face of such a disaster, where is SHIELD's plan? Where is your counterattack? Even if it's just a slap in the face … But I don't see anything now! "
"Right now, only New York has fallen, Mr. President …"
Fury looked at the angry president with his remaining eye and said in a low voice, "My agents and I have protected all the other cities except New York. As for New York, I'm very sorry, but we had no choice in the face of two legendary gods! At this moment, all the agents of M.I.B. are doing their best to seal off the areas of New York that have yet to fall. I request that you authorize me to give the highest mobilization order. "
He was silent for a few seconds.
"The war has already begun! Mr. President, if you want to remove me, it would be best to wait until the war is over. "
A person who could become the president was definitely not an idiot. After Fury finished speaking, he sat back in his chair. He looked at the fierce aerial battle outside the window and said in a low voice, "That's right.
"Can our soldiers really deal with such an enemy?"
"Not yet …"
"That's why we need more powerful soldiers. But at least for now, the army can provide the best cover for the civilians to retreat."
"Then let's send them out!"
The President handed a document to Fury. He lowered his voice and said, "That's right.
"The plan you submitted alone, 'Avenger', right? … "I agree."
The old president pursed his lips. "Go ahead and do it. I hope your team can really stop such a tragedy from happening again!"
Fury took the order and left. A moment later, another person walked into the president's office. Senator Kelly rubbed his forehead awkwardly. In fact, 20 minutes ago, if he hadn't pushed away the old president quickly, the old man would have been assassinated by a Shadow Devil who had sneaked into the White House.
"Mr. President, my proposal to you …"
Senator Kelly rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the old president, and said sincerely, "As you can see, it's not the original era of peace. In order to protect our people and country, we have to make some sacrifices."
The old president still seemed hesitant. He looked up at Senator Kelly,
"But … That man attacked us before, and he used a particularly nasty terrorist attack …"
"He can help us now! Mr. President … "
Senator Kelly emphasized. "You've seen the on-site report. He can control the magnetic field of half of the city alone. If we cooperate with him, we can at least save the rest of the city! Although the mutants don't agree with us, they are at least a member of this planet, a member of the living. We don't have to worry about them joining the enemy camp … Releasing them is beneficial to us, even if it's temporary! "
"Is our dignity important? Or is the life of the people more important? "
When Senator Kelly asked this question, the old president finally made up his mind. He glanced at Senator Kelly, reached out and took out a plastic key from the drawer and placed it in Senator Kelly's palm.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Kelly, my friend … You must protect New York, at least … Don't let it turn into a disaster that we can't control!"
Before the two of them finished speaking, the office door was pushed open. Tony Stark strode in, dressed in armor. He opened his anthropomorphic visor and spoke to the president in a relaxed tone.
"Mr. President, I'm here to protect you as you leave this large turtle shell. I'll send you to the military base in New York. Please come with me!"
While these hidden crises of power intertwined under the crisis of the disaster, in the center of Hell's Gate, the first wave of Manhattan occupied by the warriors of hell, there were still people struggling to resist these monsters that rushed into the world from another dimension.
"Ahem, what are we going to do now?"
Saber coughed with difficulty and asked. He was placed in a corner by Santos. In front of him were Hogness and a small number of sorcerers who survived the surprise attack. They were hiding in the ruins of the Sanctum, which had been completely destroyed by Gabriel's attack. Saber was in a miserable state now. Facing the full body of the seraph, he had no power to fight back. But to be honest, not everyone could survive the bombardment of the seraph.
Most of his body was completely shattered and burned to ashes by the holy light, but we all know that this damage is not enough to kill him.
"We … we can't leave here!"
The old magic lion was no longer as confident as before. He looked at the city that had turned into ruins after the war. A sense of anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. However, facing Lucifer and Gabriel who had joined hands, even the Supreme Sorcerer would have to spend a lot of time and effort to drive them away again. They really wanted to, but they didn't have the strength to do so.
"We can't give up the Sanctum. The Sanctum system maintains the stability of the entire dimension. As long as this place is not destroyed, Lucifer's dimensional fusion will become quite slow, buying us enough time … but we will suffer heavy losses."
He looked back at the silent crowd.
"We have to wait for help from the outside world. Although I don't want to admit it, the current situation is no longer something we can handle."
Hogness sighed. As a sorcerer, he knew how bad the current situation was.
"The World Wall and Dimensional Barrier set up by the Ancient One finally made a mistake. I'm afraid that after the fusion of the two dimensions is completed, this wall will completely collapse … We all guessed that the era of chaos would inevitably come."
The old sorcerer shuttled through the ruins sadly. He whispered, "I just didn't expect it to be so fast!"
"They're here!"
Strange, who was in charge of guarding, jumped down from the ruins higher up. He held a runestone in his hand and said to Hogness, "Gabriel is leading a total of 12 angels. They're rushing in our direction. It's time to go!"
"You guys go!"
Hogness pulled down the wizard hat on his head and slowly walked over the ruins, leaving everyone with his back.
"I'll help you buy time … Leave the place where the dimension is sealed and go to Kamar-Taj."
"You're crazy! Old man! "
Saber, who had just recovered, stood up with difficulty and shouted at Hogness, "Go! Now is not the time to be a hero! This is no longer something that can be solved by sacrificing your old life! "
He turned his head and shouted at Strange, who was stunned in place.
"What are you waiting for? Drag him down and go! The old man is possessed. "
"Sorcerer Hogness …"
"Say no more!"
The old sorcerer stretched out his hand and waved at them.
"The Sanctum can't be handed over to them … The current situation is actually a kind of luck. After the opening of the dimension, New York has become a true two-way channel. If it weren't for the fact that the fusion of the dimensions has not been completed yet, I'm afraid that we would have to face more than just the King of Hell and the Seraph."
He whispered, and his voice reached everyone's ears.
"All the gods and demons are looking for an opportunity to enter the modern world, but they are not completely united. As long as there is wisdom, there will be conflicts of interest. This time, it's obviously a plan that Heaven and Hell worked together to complete, so the first batch of meat must be only these two. At least before the fusion of Hell and the modern world is completed, they will not allow a third party to intervene. This is really the best news in this desperate situation … "
He stretched out his hand and tidied up his somewhat damaged robe, like an old warrior waiting to go to war.
"If we let them chase us like this, none of us will be able to escape. The news here has been blocked. Hurry back to Kamar-Taj as fast as you can and tell Ancient One that things have not reached the point of no return. Tell her not to rush to use power that will lead to a greater disaster … Even if we take a step back and say that even if the gods and demons return, Earth will still be Earth … Humans will still have a place, but if we attract a more terrifying opponent, we will have nothing!"
The amount of information in this sentence was very large … It made Saber and Strange stunned for a moment. It was not until a few seconds later that Saber pouted at Strange.
"Did you hear that? Go! Find Ancient One to save us! "
"What about you?"
Strange looked at Saber who took out his warhammer again and carried it on his shoulder. He was walking unsteadily but did not fall in the end. He shouted, "What else do you want?"
Saber reached out and hung a wrinkled cigar in his mouth. He turned his head and looked at Strange. The smoke was lingering, and the sky was dim in the distance. In this background, Saber and Hogness's bodies seemed to be stretched a lot.
"Hey, you have known me for a long time … Do you think I look like someone who would run away? Warriors should die on their own battlefield. I can't be surpassed by an old man. "
"But you are weak! Look at you, a fart from him can knock you over! "
"Weak?"
Saber took a deep breath of smoke and leaned the warhammer in his hand on the ground. "No way! Kill two more scumbags and my strength will come back. Do you think I am as weak as you? "
He waved his hand impatiently.
"Get out of here! Don't waste any more time … Gabriel thinks that she has me and the old man. She wants to kill us like pigs. Today, I will let her understand a truth … "
Saber put his arm on Hogness's shoulder, took a deep breath, and spat out a mouthful of smoke.
"A pig can bite off her dirty hand, and an old dog still has a few teeth!"
Strange: "…"
Hogness: "…"
