Chapter 668 The Attacking Shadow Demon
Marvel, New York City.
The attack came suddenly.
The acrid smell of smoke filled the middle of the street, the embers of battle and the cry of the city. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, mixed with fear and uneasiness, and the smell of blood.
New York turned into a battlefield.
No one knows where the enemies come from, and no one can even see their true appearance until now. The enemy is like a shadow, moving silently, but wherever it goes, it is accompanied by shocking destruction.
An army of shadow demons seemed to suddenly sweep across the streets of the city. There was no warning, no presiding officer, and it didn't look like a premeditated invasion at all, but more like some kind of abnormal natural disaster, coming in the form of an army of demons.
And as always, those on the front line against these unknown invaders are of course the Earth's most powerful heroes.
The Avengers.
The hum of the engine passed through the air, and the flight path of Iron Man's armor was like a burning fire dragon. The blazing warheads shot out from the armor that flew at supersonic speed, heading straight for the Shadow Demon army with a sharp roar.
With successive explosions in mid-air, countless shadow demons flickered in the firelight, and their illusory bodies were like shadows being dispersed under the light.
The dense missiles struck in a scattered manner, and then high-energy lasers were fired from the direction of the armor. Like a photon blade cutting through the formation of the Shadow Demon army, a series of fire curtains exploded along the street.
And a giant green shadow on the street below was attacking like a violent storm. The huge figure was surrounded by the army of shadow demons, and every step seemed to release a frenzy of power and rage, like an out-of-control tank that had hit a jet engine.
Hulk, the strongest Avenger, the embodiment of rage and violence.
"Smash! Smash! Hulk smashes Shadow Man!"
The wild swings of the green fists seemed to shake the whole city, and the heavy blows exploded into the streets, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere. The surrounding shadows were constantly torn and blown away by the strange force and strong winds, causing gravel to fly in the surrounding streets. Every collision was accompanied by the roar of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.
The figures in the shadow demon group were flying, and black shadows were constantly being thrown into the air from the formation, and wherever they passed, there would be a series of billowing smoke.
"I think it's starting to work."
As Hawkeye spoke, he shot out an arrow, and the arrow opened up a large jelly-like substance among the monsters, binding all the shadow demons around him.
"Is it just me or does the number of these things seem to be a little smaller than at the beginning?"
At this moment, a beautiful girl with red hair and a leather jacket was fighting against the enemy not far from his side. She waved her arms and danced her long fingers like a conductor of an orchestra. Transparent crimson waves were released from her body, rippling around her like flowing water. The red light was deep and dangerous.
That's Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. Because history has changed from the original, the Ultron incident was erased from the original history, so the time for the Witch and Quicksilver to join the Avengers was delayed.
However, the world line ended, and they finally came here. They became the two newcomers to the Avengers, and joined their predecessors in this sudden battle.
There is no doubt that Wanda has very powerful abilities, and even now her talent for chaotic magic is still astonishing in its untapped early days. It's just that she has a serious lack of actual combat experience. Her long legs have been trembling since she went to the battlefield, and her whole heart has been beating.
As she thought, the violent magic turned into a red whirlwind, constantly hitting the shadow demons around her. It was like there were countless sharp knives hidden in the storm. Shadow demons were constantly being cut and torn, and were twisted into pieces under the crimson magic.
Hawkeye took time out of his busy schedule to glance sideways, turned around and shot an arrow. The arrow almost missed Wanda's cheek and lifted her red hair. She was startled and took a step back. When she turned her head, she saw a Shadow Demon behind her who was approaching silently and was hit head-on. The electric current carried by the arrow instantly penetrated his whole body.
"ah!"
Wanda was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.
"When fighting, you have to not only focus, but also pay attention to your flanks, kid." Hawkeye said.
At this time, a silver whirlwind swept around him, and a large area of Shadow Demon that was approaching was immediately cleared away.
Quicksilver skidded to the side of him and clapped his hands: "You'd better take care of yourself first, old guy. You're too slow."
"Guys, I don't think they're declining in numbers."
Iron Man stopped briefly, stepping on the propelling flames to float in mid-air.
".These things look like they are gathering together!"
It seemed that he was the first to notice it because of his bird's eye view, but the other Avengers quickly noticed it as soon as he was alerted.
The reason why it feels like there are fewer of them around is because they are moving away.
In other words, they are gathering.
A large number of shadow demons gathered together from all directions along the streets. They began to merge, converging into a huge human form.
Some kind of giant-like form, tens of meters tall, extremely burly, like the outline of a dark mountain, still vague, looking like it was made up of countless souls.
The footsteps landed heavily on the ground, and it seemed that the air was infected by this breath and became heavy and suppressed. The ruins of the city trembled under the feet, as if they were about to flatten the world.
"What the hell is that?" Hawkeye cursed, "Can't you just calm down for a while?"
"As you wish, press the power button on it now." Iron Man said and stepped forward immediately.
"Tony, wait"
Before Captain America could finish speaking, Tony had already rushed to the front. The nano-armor automatically deformed and transformed into several launch ports and floating cannons.
The arc reactor reaches its maximum output, and the dazzling blue light spins and fires, superimposed with the firepower of the floating cannon, like a twisted blue dragon.
At the same time, all the missiles were launched simultaneously, densely covering all angles of the giant's body from bottom to top.
A full salvo of bombs was fired, covering the air like justice from heaven, and exploded one after another.
But the hit feedback that followed was unexpected. Whether it was energy or artillery, all the explosions were sucked into the swirling vortex on the giant's body, and disappeared in an instant.
"What?" Tony was surprised.
"Ha, your artillery fire is too weak."
A thunderous sound exploded in the air, followed by Thor flying down, waving his Mjolnir.
The sky was suddenly filled with black clouds, the clouds were surging, and thunder was moving among the clouds.
With the thunder god's hammer, his heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the rhythm of thunder. Thick lightning struck from the clouds, like a thunder dragon rushing towards the shadow demon giant, with the force of thunder.
But it still didn't work.
Thunder also seemed to be absorbed by the dark whirlpool, sinking into it like a stone sinking into the ocean.
"Odin's beard!" Thor was surprised, "How could that be?"
"Iron Man, Thor, please wait!" Captain America shouted, "We don't know how the enemy's body works yet. If we attack rashly."
Before he finished speaking, the shadow demon giant's arms were seen shaking. Endless light and electricity burst out from the body, which seemed to be the backlash of the two people's attacks, instantly knocking them out of the air.
Iron Man spun around and shot through two buildings before disappearing. Thor slid headfirst down the street far away and crashed into the arms of the Hulk.
"Great, our heavy firepower is of no use to it."
Hawkeye flew up and kicked the Shadow Demon soldier beside him, and shouted while setting up his bow and arrow and continuing to shoot.
"Who can tell me where these things come from? Aliens? Or lab madmen?"
"I actually think I can hear some noises."
Wanda frowned, trying to concentrate.
"It seems like they are coming from within these things. They share a consciousness. I can hear it telepathically. Although it is very vague, they seem to be repeating a name."
"What? Wanda?"
Captain America knocked over two of them with one shot of his shield, and asked hurriedly.
"Who sent them?"
"Well, I'm not actually sure if that's a name. But I think what they're repeating is"
Wanda took a deep breath.
".Anti-Monitor."
