The radio host didn't know, but as he had said, the construction of the Sky Carrier indeed incorporated some alien technology.
This world, unlike the original Marvel Cinematic Universe, was a mishmash of various other films' elements.
Especially during the construction of the Sky Carrier, New York faced an alien invasion by the Langars, and the Hoover Dam witnessed a Transformers battle.
These incidents, however, did not escape the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Though they hadn't exerted much effort, under Nick Fury management, S.H.I.E.L.D. had its share in scavenging benefits.
Tony, after much effort, had exchanged a Decepticon corpse with the military and used it as a reference to develop his own car armor.
As the construction of the Sky Carrier was nearing completion, Nick Fury asked Tony to participate in part of the work in exchange for some artifacts left by Tony father, Howard Stark, at S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony then showcased his skills, applying the technology from the Decepticon on the Sky Carrier, significantly enhancing its technological level.
This was why Tony had high hopes for the Sky Carrier.
Of course, although Tony didn't think that the Sky Carrier, along with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents aboard, could defeat the Justice League, he believed it posed a significant threat to them.
However, seeing Batman stealth jet and the entire Justice League assembled, and Cyborg remaining unflustered, Tony suddenly lost some of his confidence in the Sky Carrier.
"Regardless, now we can only hope Coulson and the others pull through!"
Tony gathered his composure and sighed.
Beside him, his fellow Avengers shared a similar sentiment.
Clearly, all members of the Avengers deeply recognized the vast gap between themselves and the Justice League.
They understood that one member of the Justice League had not even arrived yet.
Phantom Phil.
Although Phil wasn't a primary force in the Justice League, he was still a formal member and not to be overlooked.
Indeed, if Phil knew they thought this way, he would be thrilled.
…
Washington, Military District.
Phil, Jonah Jameson, and John Jameson were nervously tuning into the radio, listening to the fervent broadcast of the radio host.
Hearing that the Justice League had thoroughly defeated the Avengers, they were so excited they almost jumped up.
Also, refreshing their phones and seeing photos uploaded by people at the scene made them feel as if they were part of the Justice League.
However, the Jamesons did not empathize as deeply as Phil.
Furthermore, the Jamesons had nothing to regret.
Phil, on the other hand, was bitterly upset, regretting why he had unhesitatingly taken on the task of protecting the Jamesons.
If not for this duty, he could have been standing in Washington Square right now.
It worth noting that the radio broadcast hadn't even mentioned the word "Phantom."
Missing such a high-profile event was a huge blow.
Upon reflection, Phil felt green with envy, his insides turning blue with regret.
Defeating the Avengers wasn't scary.
What embarrassing is who missing! Quickly.
The radio once again mentioned the existence of the super warship, also known as the Sky Carrier, immediately bringing them back to reality with serious expressions.
From the host description, this super warship was clearly S.H.I.E.L.D. last resort.
Indeed, the Justice League had defeated all members of the Avengers, but they had not yet secured a complete victory in this battle.
Upon hearing this, Phil and his two companions looked tense, pricked up their ears to listen, and dared not miss a word.
…
At this moment.
Washington Square.
The Bat Jet hovered motionless mid-air.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, several figures successively jumped down, causing bursts of astonishment from the onlookers.
Spider-Man, Venom, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Green Arrow, and others—aside from Batman, each used their skills to land in the very center of the now chaotic Washington Square, surrounding the captured Avengers.
Meanwhile, Cyborg exchanged glances with them, his thrusters activated, lifting off from the ground, and he shot toward the Bat Jet in the sky.
"What happening?"
The Avengers members looked at each other in confusion.
However, they soon understood what was happening.
Because the Bat Jet and Cyborg were both heading towards the location of the Sky Carrier.
"Batman and Cyborg alone intend to take on the Sky Carrier?"
Ronan pupils contracted.
"No…"
"It might only need Batman; Cyborg is just going there to act as his driver."
Tony gritted his teeth, "Don't forget, Cyborg has capabilities comparable to artificial intelligence. Once Cyborg links into the Sky Carrier network, no one can wrest control from him…"
With these words, all the Avengers members wore grave expressions.
They knew this battle could lead to a complete and utter defeat.
Shame!
This was an absolute disgrace!
"Batman is coming!"
"Apart from Batman, there also Cyborg... Everyone be careful, initiate the bombardment, turn on the automatic targeting and manual assistance, we can't let Batman and Cyborg get close."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Inside the command center of the Sky Carrier, Agent Hill expression was stern as she watched the radar screen and the increasingly closer silhouette of the Bat Jet through the glass window, a sense of unprecedented tension arising within her.
To be honest, the Justice League was by far the most formidable and challenging opponent she had encountered.
Even S.H.I.E.L.D. strongest force, the Avengers, had been effortlessly defeated under the pressure of the Justice League members. Hill didn't believe that the Sky Carrier could stop the Justice League.
But now, a flicker of hope sparked within her.
Batman had not commanded the entire Justice League to attack but had chosen to infiltrate the Sky Carrier with his own strength and that of Cyborg.
That was somewhat belittling! Hill took a deep breath, her gaze intensifying, a spark of fighting spirit igniting.
This was the last chance to save face.
It had to be seized.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The numerous cannons on the Sky Carrier moved, their muzzles aimed at the approaching Bat Jet, furiously spewing flames.
The shells streaked like lightning toward the Bat Jet but were nimbly dodged by the latter.
Under Anton control, the Bat Jet moved as if it possessed a life of its own, not only dodging every shell but also activating its internal weapons to effortlessly shoot red energy beams in retaliation.
Bang! Bang! The Sky Carrier cannon launchers were destroyed, billowing thick black smoke.
At the same time, Cyborg, amidst the flying shells in the sky, created an energy barrier to prevent any shells from accidentally falling on Washington City.
"Cyborg... he protecting the city?"
"Cyborg isn't just helping Batman; he anticipated that the Sky Carrier attack would affect Washington, he here to protect the city!!"
The Avengers members were stunned.
Tony, watching the figures darting across the sky, dodging shells, realized for the first time that his considerations had been insufficient.
And the onlookers below felt differently.
Only now did they recognize Cyborg sacrifices.
"Superhero!"
Countless people were thrilled: "That what a superhero is!"
