Rogers also understood what Natasha meant. Watching the aircraft streak past at high speed at low altitude, he took two steps back and lowered his body slightly.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Yes, it'll definitely be exciting, right?"
With a boost from Rogers' shield, Natasha flew six meters into the air.
Stretching out her hands, she grabbed directly onto the bottom of a Chitauri craft.
The rapid flight speed caused Natasha to be forcibly dragged behind it. Despite the intense pain, Natasha still didn't let go.
Rogers also continued to fight on the ground with the Chitauri Soldiers who were slowly surrounding him.
Natasha struggled to climb onto the tail of the craft.
On the small platform, the Chitauri Soldiers tasked with attacking were still focused on their shooting.
Natasha pulled out a single-finger dagger, directly cut the airship's safety chain, and kicked the soldier off with one foot.
Then she pierced the shoulder and back of the airship's pilot to forcibly control its steering.
Natasha managed to control one airship with great difficulty, but the airship behind her had already begun firing at her.
Tony rushed out from the side and took care of the remaining airships. He landed on the ground to coordinate with Captain Rogers in continuing to kill the surrounding Chitauri Soldiers.
Above, Hawkeye Barton was also shooting non-stop, overseeing the overall battle situation.
Every arrow hit its mark; each one could destroy a Chitauri airship.
Hulk and Thor stood on a Leviathan Beast, killing Chitauri Soldiers at will and tearing apart the armor on the beast's body.
With Hulk's help, a heavy hammer blow accompanied by lightning struck the large armor plate that Hulk had stood upright on the beast's body, driving it in.
The beast was instantly paralyzed and crashed into an indoor studio, no longer moving.
Rogers quickly ran into the block; he had just saved many civilians in a church who had been invaded by Chitauri Soldiers.
Behind Natasha, Loki was piloting an airship and firing without restraint.
"Hawk-guy!"
"What are you doing?"
Standing on a high building, Barton looked at Natasha a kilometer away and spoke.
"Can you help me out?"
Natasha said with some urgency; if she took a direct hit, she would definitely die a miserable death.
Barton pressed a finger lightly, switching to a delayed-explosion arrowhead in his quiver.
Drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, he looked at the two fast-moving figures and smiled slightly.
"I've got a lock."
An arrow shot out, aimed straight at Loki's head.
Loki caught the arrow with one hand and turned to mock Barton behind him.
"Beep"
The arrow in his hand immediately exploded violently.
The entire airship was blown to pieces, and Loki was naturally thrown off, landing right on Stark Tower.
Natasha leaped from the speeding airship; her extensive experience in jumping from vehicles allowed her to land successfully on Stark Tower.
However, due to the massive acceleration, Natasha had to roll several times on the gravel-covered floor to cushion the impact.
Loki stood up somewhat disheveled, his hair disarrayed and even his horned helmet lying to the side.
Hulk jumped up with a roar and hit the just-risen Loki with a powerful punch.
Loki crashed through the glass, flew into the interior, and slammed hard against a wall.
His powerful physical constitution allowed Loki to get up angrily.
Hulk slammed his fists on the ground and charged at Loki.
"Enough! You petty, lowly people! I am a god, and I tell you, I will not be bullied by an ant... Ah!"
Hulk grabbed Loki's calf and began slamming him wildly against the floor.
It was like a bratty child grabbing a large Barbie doll.
Human-shaped pits were smashed into the floor as Loki was swung through the air helplessly, repeatedly greeting the ground.
After seven or eight times, Hulk slammed Loki down once more and let go of his leg.
Loki, his face covered in bruises, looked at the ceiling in disbelief. His heaving chest indicated he was still alive.
Hulk said disdainfully, "Puny god."
Loki lay in the pit that fit his body perfectly, motionless, making kitten-like whimpering sounds... Fury connected to a video conference with the council members in the command center.
"Commander Fury, your warship is closest to the battlefield. Please order the fighter jets to carry nuclear weapons and attack Manhattan."
Fury looked at the council members before him. He was silent for a moment, but thinking of the promise Leo had given him and the things Leo had told him, he nodded.
"I agree."
The four council members were stunned, momentarily stopping the words they were about to say. Fury's response was an answer they had never expected.
"Officer, that's Manhattan Island. If a nuclear bomb is launched, then everything..."
Commander Hill, standing nearby, became anxious.
"Commander Fury, please execute this order immediately," the council members said.
Fury gave Hill a calm look and turned off the communication... Natasha arrived next to the Tesseract device.
The glowing Tesseract device was still continuously powering the portal.
Natasha was thinking about how to solve it.
"The scepter, Loki's scepter. That energy... the Tesseract can't fight it, because it can't fight itself."
Dr. Erik sat up nearby, his face covered in bruises and his body injured.
Natasha looked at the somewhat despairing doctor and remembered Barton, who had also been controlled. "This isn't your fault. You were controlled by him."
The doctor looked at Natasha, his expression somewhat listless. "The scepter can close the portal. It's right there."
Natasha looked back; only a small portion of the Mind Stone was exposed above the ground, while the rest was deeply embedded in the floor... Leo gave a casual pull, and over twenty Chitauri Soldiers were crushed together and pierced by dozens of metal spikes.
With a reach of his right hand, a small squad of Chitauri airships in the air collided with each other, turning into giant fireballs.
At the same time, he was constantly scanning the surroundings. "Huh, where's the other big guy?"
There was one last Leviathan still rampaging through the city.
Tony followed alongside the Leviathan, using his second-generation laser cutting beam and three-stage laser beams to cut into the Leviathan's armor.
"Sir, the power will run out before we penetrate its shell."
Tony glanced at the arc reactor energy, which was running low, and retracted the emitters.
He accelerated forward and blocked the Leviathan's path.
"Jarvis, do you know the story of Jonah?"
"I wouldn't consider him a role model."
Tony's gaze became serious as he looked at the Leviathan charging straight at him.
The spiral missiles mounted on the front of his thigh armor plates had their launcher covers open. Four missiles extended in parallel on each side, popping out to wait for a response.
The Leviathan opened its massive maw.
Tony let out a roar and dove into the beast's giant mouth.
The small missiles, originally intended for surface carpet bombing, exploded violently inside the Leviathan's body.
The sequence of exploding small missiles tore through the Leviathan's chest and abdominal cavities from the inside.
The mark vii also took collateral damage from the close-range explosion and was blown out, crashing toward the ground.
At the moment he was about to hit the ground and get injured, the mark vii, which had lost power, miraculously scraped off the ground and surged upward.
Leo arrived above Tony.
With one hand, he pulled Tony up, and with the other, he crushed the heads of dozens of surrounding Chitauri Soldiers.
"Are you alright, Mr. Stark?"
