"Spider Man!!!!!"
Shiller's roar echoed in the night sky of New York.
Natasha leaned against the window, looking down, she saw Shiller, now a cloud of gray mist, plummeting straight down.
After Shiller landed, he took a deep breath and said to Spider Man, "Even if you want to play games in the middle of the night, you don't have to throw my bedroom out of Earth first, do you?"
At this time, Pikachu, who was disoriented by the debris from the fallen building, crawled out from the ruins. He stretched out a short, little hand and said, "I swear, he doesn't want to play games, because..."
The short little hand pointed to a few sparking electrical wires nearby. Clearly, Peter's beloved game console had not met a peaceful end.
Shiller took another deep breath, not fully awake yet, he did not carefully observe Spider-Man's condition. He said, "Okay, it seems it's your rebellious phase now. I don't ask you to go to bed at eight every night, but shouldn't you sleep by 12? You..."
At that moment, with a quick "swoosh", a shadow charged towards Shiller. Shiller turned into mist once more with a "bang", it was then that he noticed something wrong with Spider-Man.
"Spider Man! Spider Man!" Considering the commotion from before, Shiller avoided calling Peter by his real name to avoid attracting bystanders or reporters, and referred to him by code instead. But Peter did not respond, he was aimlessly chasing after anything alive around him, behaving like a sleepwalker.
Shiller thought for a moment, suspecting that Peter's current state might be due to his surface consciousness sinking entirely into the world of consciousness, causing his instincts to rise and take over his body.
But what mattered now was restraining him first, otherwise, more than just the game console would get destroyed soon.
Shiller knew very well how strong Spider Man's instincts were. In fact, Spider Man's instincts were even stronger than Spider Man himself. Defeating Spider Man's instincts was much more difficult than defeating Spider Man.
The current Peter, whose potential has not yet been fully explored, is actually more helpful to the team through his scientific research. But now, what Shiller faced was a Spider Man in his prime.
To subdue him, Shiller had to defeat him first, but couldn't be too aggressive. After all, Spider Man was one of their own and harmful attacks couldn't be used. So Shiller faced the same dilemma as Stark did; he was aware that his opponent had gone mad, he knew he had to fight, but also had to hold back.
Thus, Shiller was forced to unleash his most competent persona, the Moonlight Shiller.
Shiller dared to do this because Spider Man, at his prime, had a great weapon: the Spider-sense. Or it couldn't be referred to as the Spider-sense anymore, rather, the Spider prophecy.
The fully developed Spider-sense was incredibly strong at times, it was as if it was looking into the future. The Spider-sense that Shiller had copied was not so strong and was just a danger sense.
However, Moonlight Shiller had the power of the Moon God Kong Su, in addition, he could also control the gray mist. He had to hold back which meant the fight could largely remain balanced.
If the fight between the unconscious Spider Man and himself remained balanced, it meant the battle would last a long time. Both of them were constantly in motion above New York, with the moon shining bright and swords gleaming.
This was a battle feast at its finest, a fight between two superhumans with danger sense. It was like an intense game of Go, where you had to predict your opponent's moves while also laying traps for them, and battling their instincts to dismantle your traps.
Soon, the surrounding residential buildings lit up, Spider-man drawing attention. Shiller led Spider Man away from the bustling city area till they reached the suburbs of New York. Their intense battle was still ongoing, reaching a feverish climax.
At the same time, a meeting of the Luminous Alliance had just ended. Stark woke up from his sleep. The Stark Building at dawn seemed a bit too quiet. The harsh sound of the phone ringing sounded and Loki's voice came from the other side:
"I have chosen the first batch of enemies, their strength is quite low. Even without your technology and the support of S.H.I.E.L.D, just the human military should be able to handle them."
"So, as we planned, let's get started."
Stark exhaled and looked up at the stars twinkling night sky. "Let's start."
"You better think twice. Stark." There was a hint of sigh in Loki's voice. She said, "Human history might not truthfully record these events, and they may not even be grateful to you. This is a risky move and every price has to be paid by you."
"You think I would back down?" Stark asked, looking at the starry sky.
Loki sighed again. "A portal will open near Earth's low orbit in 10 minutes. Three Zitari space battleships will approach Earth."
"According to the latest intelligence I have, these space battleships are not strong, at least far weaker than the Kree Guard Ship you captured before."
"As far as I know, conventional human nuclear weapons can destroy this kind of battleship. Therefore, what you need to consider in this war is not how to destroy them, but how to destroy them without polluting and damaging your Earth."
"I think this level of intensity should be quite suitable. After this there will be their mothership and the Will-class battleships, and then..."
"Wait, how did you trick them to keep sending troops here?"
"No need to worry about that." Loki cuts off Stark, saying:
"Get ready, the first shot of humanity stepping into space is about to commence."
The New Yorkers, awakened by the noise made by Shiller and Spider Man, suddenly notice an unusually bright star in the night sky above them.
Then, as the star gradually enlarges, everyone realizes that it is not a star, but more like a space rift seen in novels or movies.
This is a special technology possessed by the Zitari people, but it is not as convenient as the teleportation portal of earth's mages, because it has many constraints and cannot be interrupted. Therefore, without the approval of Asgard, the Zitari people cannot invade Earth through this portal.
However, the Crown Princess of Asgard has recently defected and is recruiting allies throughout the cosmos. Whoever assists her will be rewarded when she reclaims the throne.
No matter how the God of Mischief managed to deceive the Zitari people with such a simple ruse, under his collaboration with Loki, the battleships of the Race Chitauli have indeed arrived above Earth.
Just like Loki said, the battleships of the Zitari people are far inferior to the Kree Guard Ships, approximately only a tenth of the size. The overall battleship is shuttle-shaped, looking a bit like a torpedo, and is not as imposing as the Kree Guard Ship.
However, for humans, this spaceship is already incredibly large. From low Earth orbit, ordinary people on the surface can vaguely see the shadow of the spaceship.
Almost instantly, panic engulfs everyone.
Stark did not inform anyone about this simulation in advance, because he agrees with something Shiller once said -
Fear is the deepest and most indelible scar engraved in the soul of humanity.
An apocalyptic atmosphere starts to shroud the planet, countless communications ring out, and the group of people at the top of human leadership have never been in contact as frequently as they are today.
The tactics of the Zitari people are simple: they start by directly using their spaceship to destroy satellites around Earth, just as they have done to other civilizations as well.
In short, first clear all the equipment near Earth, watch them plunge into panic, then the army arrives, and take this planet with the least cost. They are very proficient in this as they have done it many times before.
The commander of the Zitari people stands in his command room, he snorts dismissively: "The Princess of Asgard wants to use Earth to test our strength? How amusing, what could such a surface civilization do without Asgard's protection?"
"In my opinion, the general has greatly overestimated them, why dispatch three battleships? A single ship equipped with electromagnetic weapons is plenty."
"Zzzz - Zzzz - "
Suddenly, a burst of noise came from the communication channel. The commander frowned, picked up the communicator, and asked, "What happened? What's the problem with Battlecruiser 302?"
"Help! Help!" A series of screams emerged from the communicator, "A weird creature in red and blue! Help..."
"He came from the gray mist. We can't fight him... Commander! We need support... uh..."
"Zzzz - Zzzz - "
The commander held the communicator and said, "Hello! What's going on? Answer!!"
"Bang!!"
The commander slowly turned around, he saw the command room door being kicked off and flew to the wall, and a figure like a ghost appeared outside the door.
Standing in the control room at the top of the Stark Building, Stark habitually glanced at the surveillance screen, preparing for any abnormal situation.
His mouth dropped open as he looked at the Zitari battleship on the monitor that was suddenly sinking in an area. The entire battleship was being struck from the inside out until it became spiked, taking on the appearance of a spiky sea urchin within tens of seconds.
A battleship exploded in an instant, the second battleship replicated its tragedy in a few minutes and the third transformed into a hedgehog.
Suddenly, a spike on the last battleship exploded.
Stark stared with shock at the Zitari commander, who flew out, followed by the Spider-Man wrapped in a gray mist, rubbing his eyes, drowsy, just woke up.
