During Kyle's conversation with the twins, the Avengers team had already returned to the Watchtower. With the help of the global scanning provided by the God system, they successfully located Ultron and the Iron Man Regiment.
It turned out that they were hiding in Sokovia, a sub-city that had appeared multiple times in the Hydra base's computer system files.
Sokovia, located in Eastern Europe, was a region with many transient refugees and weak legal awareness. Major world powers had not extended their military presence here, nor was there a need to, as Sokovia's terrain was non-strategic, and its resources and economy were poor— it was a true backwater country.
The Avengers team did not pause. With Hulk and Logan recovering their senses, everyone flew to Sokovia in the Quinjet, leaving a message for Kyle with the location set to Sokovia.
Although Kyle had never been to Sokovia, he knew its location well from his regular observations from outer space.
After the twins agreed to follow him, Kyle took out the Sling Ring and, amidst the glowing Mars-like rotation, opened a portal to Sokovia.
"Let's go," Kyle glanced at the twins and stepped through the round portal, with Raina following closely.
Wanda and Pietro paused for half a second, and Wanda was the first to step forward, crossing the threshold of the swirling, fiery portal.
As they passed through the portal, their vision cleared dramatically.
One moment, they were in the dimly lit, silent underground laboratory.
The next, they found themselves in an open area with many low, dilapidated buildings. The streets were filled with ragged locals screaming and fleeing in panic.
The cause of their fear was not just the Iron Man Regiment soldiers causing widespread destruction in the streets and skies, but also the fact that the ground beneath them was shaking incessantly. No, it wasn't just the ground— the entire city they were in was rising into the sky.
"This city is rising into the sky," Raina squinted, her eyes gleaming with silver light. By comparing it with the sun in space, she determined that the city was floating at around a hundred meters above ground.
At that moment, the city showed no signs of stopping and continued to ascend.
"That's it, that's it," Wanda, who had just emerged from the portal, looked slightly pale and said to Kyle, "I saw a city falling from the sky in Ultron's vision, destroying everything on Earth's surface."
"It seems Tony and the others have already engaged Ultron," Kyle calmly turned to Raina and instructed, "Raina, go and join Tony and the others. Make sure to eliminate Ultron and the Iron Man Regiment."
"Understood!" Raina knew the urgency of the situation and didn't ask further. Her thoughts summoned the two enchanted swords, Onmyou and Muramasa, which immediately flew from her back. She stood on the swords and swiftly flew towards the center of the fierce battle in the city.
Wanda couldn't help but ask, "What about us? What should we do?"
"Do whatever you like, as long as you don't side with Ultron. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the Avengers won't take action against you," Kyle said as he began to leave but suddenly remembered something crucial.
Kyle halted his raised foot. Under the twins' puzzled gaze, he waved his right hand, pulling out two items from the Card Space and tossing them to Wanda and Pietro.
Wanda and Pietro instinctively caught them and looked down to find that Kyle had given them a Devil Card and a special bulletproof vest.
Kyle said, "That's a proof of identity for the Carl Family. Keep it with you, and the Avengers and Carl Family members won't attack you."
"I can understand the card, but why the bulletproof vest? Do you think so little of me?" Pietro grumbled.
"Shut up!"
Kyle glared at him with a look of undeniable authority and said in a deep, resolute voice, "Just listen to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, vibrant light emanated from Kyle. The powerful dual-star energy swirled around his robust body. He took a light step, and in an instant, he shot out like a rocket, streaking across the sky towards the outskirts of the city.
"I'm not listening to that guy…" Pietro watched Kyle's departing figure with some frustration. His rebellious thoughts made him want to throw away the bulletproof vest he was holding, but he saw his sister had already removed her coat and was putting on the special bulletproof vest.
"Sis, you?" Pietro was taken aback.
Wanda urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put it on. We need to join the battle, eliminate the Ultron Regiment, and help people escape from here!"
"Why are you listening to him?" Pietro couldn't understand.
"I don't know, maybe it's just a gut feeling," Wanda said as she donned the bulletproof vest and put on her coat. She looked at Kyle, now a mere speck of starlight, and continued, "Everything that man does has a purpose, including giving us these identity cards and protective gear."
"Alright then," Pietro sighed and removed his shirt to put on the special bulletproof vest.

**Above Sokovia:**
In his double-star form, Kyle flew out of the vast city, circled around the perimeter, and then headed towards the bottom of the city.
It was clear that the suspended Sokovia city had its base completely transformed. The bottom of the city was entirely covered with Iron frames.
At the center was an engine vortex the size of a football field, with several smaller engines around it, which were as big as basketballs. These engines emitted blue flames, propelling the massive city like a Helicarrier rocket into the sky.
Given Ultron and the Iron Man Regiment's capabilities, it was impossible for them to construct such a large-scale technological marvel in a short time from scratch.
This left only one possibility: the Sokovia city had a solid military fortress foundation underground, and its military technology and energy supply levels were quite advanced.
"Hydra remnants' base?"
Kyle shook his head, uncertain how to evaluate Hydra. On one hand, they were strong enough to withstand the forces of World War II, where even he, leading an ordinary army, managed to defeat their seemingly invincible bases. On the other hand, despite the passing years, they were still the same old villains, like a constant problem.
Rather than Hydra, it would be more accurate to describe them as cockroaches.
"If we forcefully stop the city, the engines might collapse and explode from the pressure. But with this rising speed, the city will fall within half an hour. Even if Tony and the others manage to defeat Ultron and the Iron Man Regiment, they won't be able to save the many civilians still in the city in such a short time."
Kyle's mind raced quickly. Even without Vis providing intelligent analysis, his evolved brain could rival that of artificial intelligence.
"We need enough reinforcements…"
With that thought, Kyle hovered a hundred meters above the city and took action. He made calls to two places:
One was the SHIELD headquarters; the other was the Supernatural Incident Bureau Office.
