Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.
Almost at the moment when Thor was defeated, the military defense line was on the verge of collapse.
Facing the crazy attack of a sea of insects, the defensive position built by humans was tottering in the storm. At first, relying on the advantage of firepower, the army could barely hold on.
However, as time passed, humans were not machines, nor were they mindless insects. A long period of high-intensity battle required a high degree of concentration. This was a great test for the spirit and body of the soldiers.
The war was like a huge meat grinder, rumbling as it swept both sides in. Then, it turned both sides into broken limbs. The nauseating thick smell of blood filled every corner of the air!
In the end, a mistake appeared!
The defense formation set up by the army was in a circular ring that surrounded the center of New York. However, due to a soldier's mistake, a cannonball exploded on their side.
Along with a huge roar, the hot heat wave rushed into the sky, and a gap appeared in the siege formation. The besieged swarm of insects found the opening in an instant.
The black swarm rushed out of the encirclement, using their absolute numbers to crush the enemy. They began to crazily eat away at the rest of the camp. The entire process happened so fast that they didn't even have time to set up a new defense line.
This 'Maginot Line of Defense' built by the Army eventually died at the hands of his own people, and then all the lines of defense were like dominoes, and began to collapse in an unstoppable frenzy!
Soldiers who made mistakes died in the mouth of the Zerg.
No one blamed the soldier who made the mistake, because at this moment, they had no time to think at all. The only thought in their minds was how to keep themselves alive, or even take another breath of air.
The collapse of the defense position meant that the entire New York and even the US behind them would be reduced to the hell on earth where the Zerg were wreaking havoc.
"No"
Seeing this, Steve's blood rushed up. His eyes went black and he almost fainted. After waking up, his eyes almost split open. His handsome face became distorted and black blood burst out from his neck. He roared in despair!
At this critical moment, Tony Stark stood up again. After discovering that the space door could not be closed,
He had no choice but to join the battlefield again.
"Meltdown - Reconstruction!"
Tony Stark operated the God-Killing Armor, stopping the swarm with a floating cannon while desperately squeezing out his spiritual energy, forcibly building a huge wall to surround the Zerg again!
However, all of this was in vain.
Not to mention just a few high walls, even if there were a few more troops, they would be broken through sooner or later under the crazy attacks of the Annihilation Zergs.
The huge city wall that reached into the clouds only delayed the spread of the swarm and slightly delayed the fall of New York!
"Everyone, gather here!"
Tony knew that this was not going to work, so he came up with a bold idea.
He saw a huge gap suddenly appear on the tall wall. Using the strategy of surrounding the three, one, he deliberately led the swarm to gather in one direction so that they could continue to delay the attack.
This was their last chance!
If this final defense line was broken, then they would have no way to stop this monstrous group of Devourer!
Steve Rogers was the first to arrive. Tony took a look and found that his Star Flag Battle Armor had long been dyed green by the blood of the Zerg. There were even many bone-piercing wounds on it. It could be seen how dangerous the battle was.
Hulk did not come, and he did not know where he was. However, this was also expected. After all, when the big guy was angry, no one would listen to him.
The second person who came was Frank. He could not fight Annihilus alone, so he could only take a step back. After escorting Thor to a safe place, he came here to support the defense line.
"There are only three people left..."
Tony looked at everyone's tired faces and could not help but feel bitter. "It seems that the last line of defense for humanity can only rely on the few of us."
"If you have time to talk, why don't you rest more?"
Frank sighed and looked at the 'Impending Doom' in front of him. He said faintly, "Maybe... this is the last time we can rest."
"Fighting side by side, and die together."
Steve exhaled heavily, then walked straight into the two iron walls with his bloody shield.
The two huge iron walls rose into the clouds and stood on the ground like cliffs. The distance between the left and right sides was only a dozen meters, but the height was a thousand meters. Standing under the iron walls and looking forward, the entire sky was squeezed into a straight line.
Just like the legendary Spartan warriors, they defeated the perilous army of the Persian Empire.
However...
The Sparta warriors were three hundred people against the five hundred thousand Persian army, and they were three people, facing the endless insect army.
The overwhelming numbers of the insect race made people despair. Even in the entire history of mankind, there was no one more courageous than the three of them.
But... they had no way to retreat!
"They're here!"
It was unknown who said this, but a black tide suddenly appeared in everyone's line of sight. Countless insects piled up together and pressed down like a huge tsunami!
It was like a chain...
The sound of shells rubbing against each other, mixed with the sound of insects grinding their teeth, echoed between the two iron walls. Everyone only felt a bloody and violent aura, like mountains collapsing and earth splitting, as if they would be torn apart in the next second.
Suddenly, the earth shook.
The entire earth shook violently, and a terrifying aura rose up, as if some terrifying ancient creature was awakened by the commotion on the ground.
"What happened?"
"What did these damn insects do?"
"No... It doesn't seem to be those insects. Look, they also stopped!"
Everyone showed a frightened expression. They didn't know what happened. Even those crazy insects suddenly stopped their attacks.
Rumble -
The four giant stone pillars broke through the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain, like a pillar that held up the sky and stood in four different directions.
"What is this thing"
The old Loki's expression changed slightly. These four stone pillars suddenly made him have a bad feeling.
The four stone pillars pierced the sky, and a majestic spirit energy spread out like ripples. It then weaved into a nearly transparent film that enveloped the entire New York City.
---
A crisp sound of a bell suddenly broke the silence. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found a simple and unadorned door with a deep red engraving on it. They did not know when it had suddenly appeared there.
"A... door?"
Looking at the simple door, Tony and Steve were surprised. They were secretly vigilant. "Everyone, be careful. There may be enemies behind the door!"
"No!"
Frank cut through metal and said, "That is not an enemy, but our... No, it is the human reinforcements!"
"Wait... reinforcements?"
Tony said in disbelief, "Are you sure you are not lying to us? Do you know this door?"
"Yeah... I know it."
Frank suddenly laughed, as if he had cleared away the haze. With tears in his eyes, he choked and said, "That... through the door. Soul Society is here to help us!"
