Tony's words were truly unbelievable. He was in New York, right in the middle of the blast zone, but not only he was not afraid of the nuclear bomb, he even requested it!
Therefore, the council-member that proposed it felt affirmed!
Everyone in the meeting concurred, except Nick Fury, who was deep in thought! But he had no choice but to acquiesce!
The nuclear missile passed through the payload checks one by one with flying colors. Nick Fury couldn't stall any longer. He ordered his subordinate to take the fastest fighter jet, carrying the largest nuclear warhead that the helicarrier have, and fly towards the New York City!
The fighter pilot had gone through rigorous training, but after a long era of relative peace, he could never imagine that he would carry a nuclear warhead on his plane!
"Arriving at target launch site… missile away! The warhead has been launched! Detonation in T minus three minutes! Returning to base!"
The pilot reported anxiously to his superiors! He was extremely nervous, but he was still a professional, so he successfully delivered the payload to New York City!
"I'm sorry!" The pilot silently apologized in his heart!
What he had witnessed was a city in the middle of an alien invasion, and he had doomed them with the nuclear bomb that he had launched!
He justified himself by thinking that his central command had no other choices. In order to defeat the alien army, their last resort was to abandon the entire New York City, condemning the millions of innocent civilians!
A soldier must always follow orders! He could do nothing more than pray for those civilians in his heart….
"Alright folks, the big bad bomb is incoming! It's gonna be enough to ruin these aliens' party!"
Tony's excited words echoed in the ears of all the members of Justice League!
"Captain, Mr. Stark! I have found a way to close the wormhole!"
Dr. Banner brought another good news, his voice full of surprise!
"Dr. Banner? What happened? How did you suddenly find a way to close the wormhole?"
Hearing the good news from Banner, the Captain asked in surprise!
"It's not me, it's Dr. Selvig. He suddenly woke up and apologized for what he had done! He also said that he left a backdoor when he created this device!
"With this backdoor and Loki's special weapon, we might be able to shut down this wormhole device!"
Banner excitedly explained to everyone!
"Is it a miracle? Tony just happened to find a weapon to destroy the command center at the same time as the way to close the wormhole was found!"
Even the Captain felt skeptical at the amount of coincidence that just happened! However, he didn't have time to dwell on it. Eliminating the alien army is more important!
...
"The nuclear missile is arriving soon! Everyone, get ready! Bruce, you too. Wait for my mark. When I say close, shut the wormhole as soon as possible!"
All the pieces had fallen into place. Tony gave a final instruction to Banner!
"I understand, Mr. Stark!" Dr. Banner expressed his understanding!
"Thor, can you make another thunderstorm? We don't have any room for error, so I'd rather have the skies cleared of the monsters first!"
Tony turned to Thor besides him!
"Of course I can. You're underestimating me too much! Be it once or ten times, I still have room for more!"
Thor replied with great confidence!
"Alright, alright, you're the best! But I don't need you to do it ten times, just once is plenty to clear the way!"
Tony heard Thor's stubborn reply and could not help but say to him helplessly!
"Time is of the essence. Let's begin, Thor!"
Tony's tone became serious as he prepared for the climax!
...
"Just wait and see!"
Thor agreed and then began to gather his divine power!
Thor no longer held back. If Tony's words are to be believed, this is the last time today he had to do this anyway!
Thor's combat strength was at full display, worthy of his title as the God of Thunder!
No longer holding back, the extent of Thor's full power shocked everyone that witnessed it!
Endless dark clouds roiled in the sky, hanging oppressively as if the sky was going to fall!
At the center of it was Thor, holding the energy within the cloud like Atlas holding the sky!
"Ha... Ah!"
Thor roared as countless silver lightning emerged from the black clouds. The endless lightning was so dense that it looked more like a single curtain, illuminating the entire sky in a blinding blaze!
It was as if a singular solid mass of lightning energy, threatening to fall at any moment!
Boom!
The sky disappeared as the lightning fell, dying the world in silver white light!
Each of the lightning bolts seemed to have a mind of their own, as they accurately struck and blown away every Chitauri soldiers!
In just a moment, not a single living Chitauri remained in sky!
But Thor didn't stop there. He raised his Stormbreaker above his head and once again summoned the power from the dark clouds!
Countless lightning bolts gathered upon the Stormbreaker, flowing down his hand into his body!
Lightning then gathered in his empty left hand, forming a mass vaguely in the shape of another Stormbreaker, made of pure lightning energy!
"Hehe, I'll open the path for you!"
Thor twirled the Stormbreaker replica made of lightning and grinned at Tony!
...
It was more than two minutes since the nuclear missile was launched! It would detonate in less than a minute!
Tony was able to see the nuclear bomb that raced towards him from afar. This was the culmination of human technology, the worst and most destructive weapons humanity had ever conceived!
Tony's expression grew more serious as the bomb approached. The entire world depends on his success!
Fortunately, they still had the back up to close the wormhole. Even if the bomb was not able to strike in the alien's fatal point, they can still end the battle! But he still wanted to give the enemy this nuclear bomb as a gift!
"Thor, now!"
Tony shouted at Thor as he reached out with his hand, using his superpower to control the trajectory of the nuclear missile less than a hundred meters away from him!
