Thor flew to the top of a tall building, standing on the lightning rod-shaped structure.
This was nearly four hundred meters from the portal entrance.
Looking at the continuously swarming portal entrance, Thor raised Mjolnir.
A dark and oppressive cloud quickly gathered over the entire Manhattan Island, with lightning flashing within it.
The next moment, Mjolnir in Thor's hand also flickered with streaks of lightning, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning struck from Mjolnir into the thundercloud, connecting them.
The lightning pillar lingered between the thundercloud and Mjolnir, growing thicker and more dazzling, with tiny lightning branches beginning to appear alongside it.
A few seconds later.
The dazzling lightning continuously converged and intensified, its immense energy directly splashing onto the building beneath Thor, and the metal supports nearby couldn't withstand such high-intensity lightning, sparking everywhere.
With a lift of his hammer, a massive bolt of lightning surged from Mjolnir, carrying immense electrical damage and impacting the portal entrance.
Five or six Chitauri flyers, just emerging, were struck by the huge lightning bolt, causing violent explosions and scattering charred debris.
Two Leviathans were preparing to rush out; one had already emerged halfway, but it was struck by the massive lightning bolt. The powerful penetrative, destructive, high-voltage electrical shock directly shattered the Leviathan's outer shell.
The powerful electrical energy easily suppressed that Leviathan, causing severe damage, and in less than two seconds, a massive explosion occurred.
It also forced the one inside back in... Leo clenched his hand, and thirty metal spikes behind him shot out with a huge blast of air. The first one broke through the outer armor, and all subsequent metal spikes plunged into the Leviathan's semi-flesh body.
With a push of his left hand, the colossal beast was pinned in place, unable to move.
His right fist opened.
The several metal spikes that had been churning within the Leviathan's body simultaneously burst out, each taking the life of a Chitauri soldier.
The thirty metal spikes quickly intertwined on the massive Leviathan.
Three seconds later, the riddled Leviathan lay on the plaza, and naturally, none of the soldiers it carried survived.
Leo's wings swept, and he rushed towards another Leviathan that hadn't yet landed in the city... On the Helicarrier.
Nick Fury watched these scenes on the screen and listened to the reports from agents on Manhattan Island.
"Sir, the portal has been open for nearly twenty minutes. Eight behemoths and tens of thousands of aliens have entered the city."
"However, it seems only four of the eight behemoths remain—no, only three are left. A golden light is rapidly eliminating these Chitauri soldiers in the sky, with terrifying efficiency."
"Captain, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor are also rapidly eliminating these monsters, but the scope of the battle is too large, and specific casualties cannot be..."
At the same time, in seven or eight screens, there were journalists interviewing from the ruins, and many of these shots were not focused on the hosts.
Instead, they were locked onto the figures of the aliens flying in the sky, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and others.
These heroic and unique figures had fully appeared in the public eye, and the whole world was watching the battle here.
Fury looked at these images, as well as the destroyed streets, the explosions, and the casualties, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Sir, the council members are all online."
Commander Hill walked over, and Nick Fury immediately turned off the screen and strode towards the council... Barton was fighting in a tall building, simultaneously monitoring the movements of the Chitauri soldiers.
"Stark, you've got quite a few hangers-on behind you!"
"I'm trying to shake them off," Tony quickly replied.
The powerful autocannons on the Chitauri flyers were too much even for Mark VII to withstand for long, so he had to evade.
"I see their turning is pretty bad," Barton reminded.
At the same time, he subtly moved his finger, and an arrow with an ablative arrowhead was aimed at Stark.
With a slight release of his finger, the arrow struck the closest flyer behind Stark.
The high-temperature penetration split the flyer in two, and it also crashed into two other aircraft.
Mark VII rapidly weaved through the streets, its agile turns and narrow passages causing seven or eight crashes.
Tony made a sharp turn, his airbrakes deploying instantly, and he spun around to shoot down the remaining pursuers.
"Good job. What's next?"
"Thor is in a fierce battle with a squad on Sixth Street."
"That guy didn't even invite me!" Tony said, turning and flying over.
During the war, the rapport and recognition among the few were rapidly increasing... Leo's ability to judge Chitauri soldiers grew stronger and stronger.
With a casual grab and pull of his hand, half a street's worth of Chitauri were forcibly dragged into the open center of the street.
What awaited them were the metal spikes constantly weaving through the city.
Many Chitauri who had penetrated into building floors were also grabbed by Leo and easily killed.
Although not many civilians were sacrificed, the mangled corpses ignited a rage within Leo.
In less than three seconds, he arrived in front of another Leviathan.
The Leviathan, continuously deploying troops, opened its massive mouth and lunged at Leo.
A dozen laser beams also aimed at Leo, firing relentlessly.
The illusory purple-gold wings fully spread, measuring a full five meters in width.
Looking at the Leviathan before him, Leo spun rapidly and charged, emerging from its tail in less than a second.
Leo steadied himself, spread his arms, and captured over a hundred soldiers who had just leaped from the giant beast.
He forcefully brought his arms together, sending them all crashing from the air into the Leviathan.
The armor forcibly pressed through their bodies, crushing the soldiers into pulp and simultaneously piercing over a hundred holes into the Leviathan.
Leo's eyes swept across the scene, "There's still one more, where did it go?"
...Hulk burst out of an office building, pulling a Leviathan beast aside and saving the entire building from destruction.
He himself was hanging from the beast.
Natasha once again engaged in close combat with a Chitauri warrior.
She was slammed into a car, her legs restricting the soldier's attack, and her electric gauntlet temporarily paralyzed him.
She seized the gun, shot him dead, and continued her attack.
This constant fighting had been going on for almost ten minutes.
Rogers rushed down but was aimed at by the quick-witted Natasha.
With the surrounding soldiers temporarily dealt with, Natasha's legs gave out, and she leaned against the car, breathing heavily.
Natasha looked at the portal device on the skyscraper, "If the portal isn't shut down, they'll never stop coming."
