All of this happened too suddenly!
No one had expected that the old Loki would suddenly appear and use the same method as before to sneak attack and control Annihilus from behind.
Moreover, the timing that the old Loki chose to attack happened to be when Tony erupted his spiritual power and attracted Annihilus's attention. At this time, both sides were in a highly concentrated state, which led to the Insect Emperor's momentary negligence and not noticing the strange fluctuations behind him.
"It's over..."
Seeing this scene, the young Loki couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, wishing he could curse this stupid Insect king to death in his heart.
In his opinion, as the king of the swarm, Annihilus had made three grave mistakes.
First, it had used the vanguard swarm to explore the strange space and mistakenly thought that the strength of Earth was only this, so it chose to personally take action.
Second, it knew that it was the 'brain' of the entire swarm, but it still exposed itself to all enemies, including the old Loki who had been waiting for an opportunity and hiding in the dark.
Thirdly, Annihilus was overly confident and believed that even if someone ambushed him, they would not be able to kill him in an instant.
Annihilus was arrogant and ignored the most important thing.
The Earth in this time and space was different from the universe it had conquered before. There was still an undeveloped 'Infinity Stone' here!
As one of the six Great Infinity Stones in the universe, the Mind Stone was so powerful that even the Celestial could not contend against it, let alone a mere Underground Space Insect Emperor.
Without feeling any resistance at all, the old Loki easily controlled the Annihilation Zerg Emperor Annihilus.
It was too smooth...
It was so smooth that even he found it hard to believe.
It was as if God was helping him, and even the heavens were helping him!
It was only when Annihilus knelt down and surrendered that the old Loki felt a little more clear-headed. Thinking that he was one step closer to his target, he could not help but purse his dry lips and laugh. "You are really my lucky star, Tony Stark. If not for you, my plan would not have been completed so smoothly."
Originally, if the plan went on normally, it would take a long time to control Annihilus. At the very least, he would have to wait for it to destroy the Avengers and then borrow the power of the Wandenreich to control the Insect Emperor.
However, he did not expect that Tony's God-Killing Mecha would erupt with such shocking combat power. The powerful artillery fire covered the insect swarm and caused them to suffer heavy losses. The Insect Emperor was forced out of the alternate space in advance, thus making the plan progress much faster.
As the Emperor of the Annihilation Zerg, although the individual combat strength was slightly inferior to Big Boss, relying on the terrifying reproductive ability of the Annihilation Zerg, as well as the characteristics of evolution according to the environment, they could completely drown the enemy in the endless swarm with a huge number.
In other words...
As long as the Annihilation Zerg were given enough time to grow, even if Sorcerer Supreme came, he would pounce!
After all, the magic of the Sorcerer Supreme cannot be released indefinitely, but as long as Annihilus is provided with sufficient nutrients, it can really multiply indefinitely, creating a terrifying insect wave that is enough to drown the entire universe!
The old Loki calmed his excitement. Right now, the time was not yet ripe, so it was not appropriate for him to face Sorcerer Supreme head-on.
According to the history of his time and space, Sorcerer Supreme was currently trapped in Dormammu's invasion and needed to maintain the defense of the three great temples, so she was temporarily unable to divert his attention to take care of this side.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had to take advantage of this precious time to quicken his pace and seize the other Stones.
Once the three great stones of space, mind, and power were in his hands, then even if Sorcerer Supreme took action, he would be completely unable to deal with hollow.
"Annihilus, slaughter this city."
The old Loki thought of this and a cruel light appeared in his eyes. He ordered in a cold voice, "Not a single person is allowed to remain. Let this group of lowly humans who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth become nourishment for your army."
"Yes, Lord Loki."
Annihilus slowly got up. His green eyes rolled and locked in front of him. A cold killing intent burst out from it. It was like a volcanic eruption of heat waves, causing the entire atmosphere and even the buildings to tremble. "My children, go and devour your prey to your heart's content!"
Under the absolute command of the Insect Emperor, the endless tide of insects surged towards New York.
A battle between humans and strange insects, a world-shaking war that concerned the survival of the races, had opened a grand curtain!
The ferocious insects were grinding their claws and feet. The sticky and disgusting liquid dripped from their mouths. The sound of their shells rubbing against each other converged into a terrifying music that echoed in the depths of everyone's mind. It was like dead soul's scream that pierced their hearts.
"Atlas, fire!"
Tony did not want these insects to break through the encirclement. He immediately ordered the floating cannons to attack.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom...
The dense gunfire was like fireworks blooming in the sky. The pungent smell of smoke carried a hot heat wave, dyeing the space within a thousand meters red like hell.
But very quickly, Tony discovered that something was wrong.
These large and ferocious bugs not only had their outer shells become harder, they could resist three to four Floater Cannons. There were even some bugs that looked like maggots growing on their backs. They could absorb the electricity from nearby buildings and fire at them like electric currents.
The Annihilation Zerg Race... had evolved!
In just a few minutes, the swarm had evolved a corresponding ability against the Floating Cannons.
This terrifying adaptability rate had already surpassed the limits of all known creatures. It was enough to make Darwin feel ashamed.
"Jarvis, how much longer will Zeus take?"
Tony could only place his last hope on his most powerful weapon system.
"I'm very sorry, sir." Jarvis said, "The energy reserves of the Zeus system have been exhausted. There are at least twenty minutes left before the next attack time."
Twenty minutes... It was impossible!
Tony bit his lips and allowed the sweet blood to flow into his mouth.
With the terrifying evolution speed of the insect swarm, the Floater Cannons would be completely useless in five minutes at most. At that time, he would have to face a group of insects with super-thick shells and long-range electric cannons!
Hiss hiss...
Just as Tony was thinking about countermeasures, a strange insect cry suddenly sounded behind his head.
The sound was creepy, as if some creature was grinding its teeth, and it was very close to him, almost close to his ear.
Tony suddenly turned his head, and his face instantly changed!
He saw a group of strange insects that were the size of an adult's arm and looked like Earth's mosquitoes. Their stomach was swollen and swollen, and they were flapping their transparent thin wings. They were less than ten centimeters away from him.
After those giant insects approached Tony, their swollen abdomen suddenly became red, and they accumulated a huge amount of heat energy. At this moment, they were like self-exploding infantry, surrounding Tony's God-Killing Armor in the middle.
In the next moment, a roar resounded through the sky!
