Just when Nick Fury was about to say something, the fighter jet in midair seemed to have already pressed the launch button, and a nuclear missile streaked towards the skies over New York City with a tail of fire.
Then, a white light suddenly flared.
The entire sky and earth were enveloped in the terrifying nuclear flash.
It was a brilliance shining countless times brighter than the sun, with the brightness of the flash even surpassing millions of lux.
It's not just about causing blindness by destroying the retina; within a radius of several kilometers, living beings could even have their skin scorched by this intense light. Indeed, to completely deal with the monster in the skies of New York, the Congress's deployment of a nuclear missile was extremely exaggerated, capable of destroying an entire city with just one.
Of course, this is also a major characteristic of the United States, after all, only the living have the right to protest against Congress's actions.
As for the dead... just laying down a few white flowers in memorial would suffice, at most it might lead to related members resigning in guilt, and then perhaps the building of a monument or something.
At the moment of the nuclear explosion.
Almost everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
Even the Avengers were no exception, like Falcon Sam and War Machine Rhodes on this side.
Having a military background, they were acutely aware of how terrifying a nuclear bomb could be. Now, seeing a nuclear missile actually explode in the skies above New York City, they resignedly closed their eyes as if accepting their fate.
And as for the only person who was relatively calm on the scene.
Perhaps that was Nick Fury.
Upon seeing the nuclear explosion, he immediately turned to glance at Fang Mo, and after seeing that the latter had no intention of running away at all, he seemed to be slightly reassured.
And after this.
The power of the nuclear explosion was finally fully revealed.
Endless light and heat burst forth in midair, a terrifying shockwave instantly tore a huge hole in the skies above New York City. Following that, a vast ring of white air waves expanded outward, even the mighty sea of magical energy was stirred into disarray at this moment.
Then, a heart-stopping terrifying mushroom cloud slowly rose.
However, it was at this time.
The people within New York City seemed to hear a furious roar.
"Do not destroy my things!!!" Sargeras' roar seemed to explode in everyone's hearts, and after hearing it, numerous citizens subconsciously looked up towards the sky.
And they saw an unimaginable magical barrier.
It was like a semi-transparent large bowl, actually covering the entire New York City inside it.
The magical barrier shimmered with indescribable colors, looking absurd and terrifying, but it was precisely such a barrier that blocked the deadly nuclear explosion in midair.
At this moment, countless citizens of New York City were staring blankly into the sky.
Through a semi-transparent barrier, they could clearly see the fireball expanding rapidly.
Sargeras' magical barrier blocked all threats, not just the shockwave, even the nuclear flash was weakened to a non-lethal level.
Even so.
The nuclear bomb remains the strongest weapon humanity has mastered.
The principle of this device simulates the power of the stars in the universe, a force from beyond the heavens, once the exclusive dominion of deities. Its level of terror far surpasses all earthly majestic forces. At this moment, the citizens who witness this scene feel as though a scorching sun is plummeting towards the earth. In the face of this endless light and flame, everyone realizes their own insignificance.
Even the magical barrier.
It was forcibly compressed into a deep indentation by this astonishing energy.
It was like a finger poking a soap bubble, causing everyone to sweat with anxiety, fearing that the barrier would shatter in the next moment, and then everyone would perish in this endless light.
For this reason, a large number of New Yorkers subconsciously started praying to Sargeras, hoping he could hold on.
And he did not disappoint.
Sargeras suddenly let out a roar of immense anger, and the magical barrier became even thicker and more resilient.
However, at this moment, a series of sharp laughter came from outside, obviously not from Sargeras, but from another dimensional demon god.
Clearly, this was the other party mocking Sargeras's actions.
Originally, two demon gods in the sky were fighting, with red and black other-dimensional magic powers constantly colliding and struggling against each other.
But after the nuclear explosion, the black power suddenly shrank significantly, so it was immediately suppressed by the crimson magic power.
Even ordinary citizens who understood nothing.
At this moment, they vaguely guessed that this must be because Sargeras used a large amount of magic power to protect New York City below, and because of being distracted, he was taken advantage of by another dimensional demon god, now clearly at a disadvantage.
And in fact, it was as they had guessed.
The roars in the sky were like rolling thunder, but they couldn't reverse any decline.
The magic power belonging to Sargeras was retreating step by step, and soon the entire sky was enveloped in a blood-like crimson.
"Cyttorak!"
Sargeras roared again in anger: "This world was mine to find first!!!"
"So what?" A majestic voice came from the crimson magical flood: "The main point is that you are too foolish, Sargeras, to even think about protecting your toys while fighting me, which is utterly ridiculous."
"Anything that Sargeras deems valuable, no one but myself has the right to destroy it!"
Sargeras shouted again, but as soon as he finished speaking, a fighter jet suddenly flew by not far away, and it seemed that even Sargeras was stunned for a moment: "What...is this?"
"Hahaha!!!"
"Cyttorak" immediately burst into laughter upon seeing this: "Humans always repeat their foolishness, but this is good, Sargeras, try to block this as well!"
Right after the other party finished speaking.
Another nuclear missile was launched from beneath the fighter jet.
Then, the fighter jet did not stay but quickly turned and accelerated away from there.
"This..."
Not to mention Sargeras, even the New Yorkers below were stunned. Is the government serious? Are they really determined to eliminate all New Yorkers here today?
"Oh no, it seems that Lord Sargeras can't hold on much longer!"
And at this moment, the cultists seemed to have realized something as well. The leaders, who appeared to be bishops or something of the sort, immediately shouted, "We must follow the will of Lord Sargeras, we absolutely cannot let the Lord's slaves die here!"
"Right! Exactly!"
This suggestion instantly garnered the collective agreement of the other cultists: "We need to move these slaves out first, or else we won't be able to enslave them together with Lord Sargeras later."
"Start moving now!"
Hearing this, the leading bishop waved his hand grandly, drawing a circle in mid-air, followed by the eruption of countless sparks, and a giant portal with a diameter of several meters appeared instantly in front of them.
"Hurry and leave this city!"
After the portal opened, the surrounding fanatics immediately shouted to the citizens of New York.
No one wanted to die inexplicably under a nuclear bomb, so when the citizens of New York saw the portal, the hope of survival rekindled in their eyes.
They then hurriedly ran towards the portal under the organization of the cultists.
"Let the women and children go first!" Around the portal, there were even some cultists shouting to maintain order, their hands conjuring bright blue magical circles: "Do as I say, or you'll be sacrificed to Lord Sargeras!"
After the first portal was established.
Quickly, a second and third portal appeared in various parts of New York City.
Ordinary believers could only open small portals with a diameter of one or two meters, but the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, noticing their actions, quickly set aside their prejudices and joined in.
They even mastered more core techniques.
The people from Kamar-Taj were shaking.
Support arrived at the scene quickly, hence, the citizens were able to move faster.
As for the nuclear missiles in the sky, they exploded as expected, adding another sun to the sky. The magic barrier became more visibly indented, and one could even faintly hear something constantly shattering. Clearly, the owner of the barrier was also struggling to maintain it.
Countless New Yorkers, while fleeing, also subconsciously looked up at the sky.
That dark figure was about to be completely overwhelmed by the crimson, yet it still stretched out a hand, trying hard to maintain the barrier, while furiously cursing human foolishness.
"..."
Originally, this entity was a demon god set to destroy the world, but at this moment, seeing Sargeras gritting his teeth to maintain the barrier, the New Yorkers subconsciously clenched their fists, perhaps even they didn't realize they were subconsciously cheering him on.
Adults might be more reserved and not express this sentiment.
But those naive children didn't care about that. Near the place where Fang Mo and Nick Fury were, a sorcerer from Kamar-Taj opened a portal. At that moment, a mother was pulling her daughter towards the portal.
However, just as they were about to enter the portal, the little girl holding a doll suddenly shouted into the sky.
"Go for it, Mr. Sargeras!!!"
"..."
Hearing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hm?" Seeing this, Nick Fury also looked puzzledly at Fang Mo: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
Fang Mo smiled and shook his head: "I just suddenly remembered something happy. When I watched One Punch Man, someone seemed to have said the same thing to Genos. I just never thought that I would receive the same comment myself, and for some reason, it made me quite happy."
...
Nick Fury didn't say anything upon hearing this, but his solitary eye flashed an expression that seemed to convey, "So, it was you who caused all this, huh? Not even pretending otherwise?"
Although Fang Mo noticed Nick Fury's expression, he had no intention of explaining and simply ignored the other's gaze.
Soon, the second nuclear bomb also exploded.
As the light and heat in the sky slowly dissipated into nothingness, the fragmented magical barrier finally collapsed. With a crackling sound, the barrier that enveloped the entire city of New York shattered into countless pieces, then gradually vanished into the air.
With the disappearance of the magical barrier,
Sargeras's dark purple figure also started to shrink.
"Cyttorak, I will remember what you did today." Despite this, Sargeras still made a fierce declaration, coldly saying to a crimson mass, and then looking down at New York City: "Foolish humans, it seems I will have to enslave you next time. Fear me, for I, Sargeras, will return one day!"
After saying this,
His figure was dispersed by the crimson tide of magical energy.
Having lost his energy vessel and attacked by a god of equal stature, Sargeras's consciousness was reluctantly expelled from Earth.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
After successfully dispersing Sargeras, Cyttorak suddenly burst into laughter in midair.
"What foolish humans."
An infinite stream of magical power quickly converged and then reformed into a gigantic red monster, which half-crouched in the air, admiring the city of New York below: "You know, I couldn't care less about enslaving you fools. It's your endless fighting that I truly wish to see..."
Saying this, he suddenly waved his hand.
A flash of red light instantly swept across the entire city, and all the portals vanished at that moment.
Before anyone could react, countless gray-white dust particles slowly fell from the sky. Indeed, it had just snowed over New York, but what was falling now was not snowflakes but radioactive dust from the nuclear explosion, a truly toxic radioactive substance, even a slight contact with which could be fatal.
"Despair, struggle, hate."
Cyttorak seemed to enjoy this scene, contentedly watching the people below, as if he could already see their pain and wailing.
Indeed, the citizens of New York below had noticed this and showed expressions of despair.
Not just ordinary people, but also sorcerers, zealots, and even the army attacking the zealots seemed to be bewildered, feeling a bit at a loss.
But just then,
Suddenly, a person in a wheelchair shot straight into the sky.
"Hmm?"
Cyttorak also noticed this person and was immediately stunned.
"Cyttorak."
Strange first looked at his arm, which was surrounded by a faint green light, and after confirming this, he directly spoke to Cyttorak: "I've come to negotiate."
~~~
Damn, Cyttorak?!... Is it real Cyttorak though?
