Meanwhile, in a hidden underground space in New York.
Loki, in his lavish attire, stared intently at the gradually chaotic New York on the screen, a hint of triumphant satisfaction flashing in his eyes, as if his great revenge was finally being exacted.
At this moment, he seemed to finally experience the feeling of being a superior being, controlling the destinies of those ants.
"How much longer until the next portal opens?!"
Loki, who was enjoying the 'beautiful scenery' before him, asked in a cold voice to those behind him.
However, after a moment of silence, no one answered him.
Instead, there were many disorganized footsteps from behind him.
Loki abruptly stood up and looked back, veins immediately bulging on his forehead, feeling a surge of blood to his head.
"What are you doing?!"
This roar, full of anger, immediately made those who had already started packing their things to run stop in their tracks.
Everyone stared blankly at the furious Loki, his face flushed red, but no one answered his question.
At this moment, a poker-faced man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked forward and said in a very calm tone,
"My Lord Loki, we have completed what we promised you. We are now evacuating as ordered."
As soon as these words were spoken, Loki, already in a rage, immediately took a step forward, rushed to the man, and directly grabbed his collar with one hand, lifting him high into the air.
"I now order you to continue opening the next portal!!"
However, facing the incredibly angry Loki, the man still showed no change in expression, only repeating,
"We have completed what we promised you…"
Before he could finish speaking, Loki had already stopped listening.
He violently swung his arm, directly throwing the man he had lifted high into the air.
"Gah~"
With a loud crash, the man was thrown heavily onto a row of electronic equipment.
Everything in that corner of the room scattered, electric sparks crackled, and a deep red bloodstain seeped from the man's forehead. Although Loki usually presented himself as a sorcerer, he was still essentially a Frost Giant, and his strength was far beyond that of ordinary humans.
However, even though the man he threw had blood seeping from his forehead and his arm was bent at a strange angle, he seemed to feel no pain, his face remaining calm as he ordered the others,
"Continue the retreat!"
As his words fell, the others, though somewhat trembling and fearful of Loki's power, immediately began to pack their things obediently.
Seeing this, Loki immediately wanted to rush forward and kill this leading fellow.
Who knew that at this moment, he noticed something.
In the monitor screen beside him, those familiar figures that had left a deep impression on him had reappeared.
"It's you scoundrels again!"
Loki gnashed his teeth as he stared at the screen before him, his voice sounding as if it was squeezed through his teeth.
"This time, you have no chance! As long as I get… as long as I get one more gem!!"
Returning our attention to the Quinjet.
In fact, it didn't take Nick Fury much time to fly the jet to the portal.
Thor had only just finished speaking a few simple sentences.
It was only when they arrived in front of this portal that everyone realized how enormous it truly was.
It was over a hundred meters in diameter, yet less than ten meters off the ground.
Especially with Brooklyn having fewer tall buildings than Manhattan, it made the portal appear as if it connected heaven and earth.
The vast icy environment seemed to press down on Brooklyn like an overwhelming force.
Endless icy cold air was spreading outwards.
Buildings closer to the portal were already completely covered in ice and snow.
However, perhaps those who were directly frozen by the ice were the lucky ones.
More Brooklyn residents, in immense terror, were cruelly slaughtered by countless Frost Giants, three to four meters tall, wielding ice-pick hammers.
Several ice-field beasts, over ten meters tall, were rampaging through residential areas, flattening every building in their path.
"Guys! There's no easy way out this time by just taking out the enemy's mothership. Prepare to fight to the death!"
Tony immediately closed his faceplate and quickly walked to the rear of the cabin.
Steve, also with a solemn expression, spoke his classic line.
"Avengers! Assemble!"
Only…
As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone's expressions were serious, ready for battle.
Tony, however, noticed that Luca, who like himself could fly and land directly, was not standing with him at the open cabin door.
Turning his head, he found that the kid was still standing there, spaced out.
"Hey, kid! Captain said to assemble~"
At this point, the black and white armor finally moved again.
Luca awkwardly scratched his head and quietly explained,
"Sorry, I was on the phone just now…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the previously solemn atmosphere in the cabin suddenly paused.
Finally, Thor took the initiative to step forward and patted 'Luca' on the shoulder, praising him with a smile.
"Not bad, kid. You've got a bit of an old veteran's look!"
After saying that, Thor rapidly spun his Meow-Meow Hammer and rushed out of the cabin.
But it was precisely because of Luca's actions that everyone felt their previously tense mood relax considerably.
Although they didn't know why Tony and Thor would call this burly man, who was probably over two meters tall, 'kid'.
However, they assumed he must not be very old.
Since a young person could view this battle so casually, why should they be so incredibly nervous and worry about failure?
Dr. Banner, who also knew Luca's identity, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, then jumped directly out of the plane in his human form.
Immediately after, the angry roar of the Hulk came from below.
By this time, the Quinjet had descended to a sufficient altitude.
Perhaps it was because of Tony and the others' actions earlier,
Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow, before jumping out of the cabin, all chose to pat Luca on the shoulder, as if by prior agreement.
It left him a bit bewildered.
What are they doing? Am I a stone lion at the temple gate?
Finally, Tony, who had been waiting for Luca to move together, looked at him amusedly and said,
"Let's go, Uncle Tony will take you to get familiar with the battlefield first!"
With that, Tony directly put his hands together, and the Mark Armor's hands and feet simultaneously ejected ion flames, propelling him straight into the sky.
Seeing this, Luca shrugged helplessly and also deployed his leg and back flight pack thrusters, following closely behind.
At the same time, Captain America's command voice came through the comms.
"Barton, find a high point to observe the battlefield. Natasha, try to find Loki's location, or a way to close the portal."
"The rest of you, come with me to prevent these Frost Giants from spreading further!"
At this point, Tony Stark's voice suddenly cut in, addressing Nick Fury, who was piloting the Quinjet and had just fired two missiles into the portal.
"Our My Lord Captain, get back to your post.
I don't want another nuclear bomb falling on our heads this time!"
