In an instant, the Chitauri soldiers gathered at Stark Tower, surrounding Batman from all sides.
As the scene was broadcast through cameras, everyone watching unconsciously started breathing faster.
The ordinary people didn't know the critical details.
But they had just seen Batman appear, and immediately a swarm of alien soldiers surrounded him,
like a dark cloud closing in, leaving no opportunity for Batman, which led them to guess that Batman might hold the key to the outcome of this battle.
Moreover, Batman was seen by everyone as a figure capable of turning the tide in critical moments,
which made all those unaware of the truth even more certain of their assumption.
Indeed, their thinking was correct.
At that moment.
Anton stood on the landing pad, about to use the Mind Staff to penetrate the protective stance of the Tesseract,
when he saw Chitauri soldiers and bio-warships from all directions converge like sandwich cookies.
Combining the information on the ground, he knew the Chitauri felt the pressure from Earth and sensed the threat his actions posed to the war, planning to eliminate him at all costs.
Boom!
Boom!
Just as the thought passed, the surrounding soldiers pulled their triggers, and along with the bio-warships,
countless terrifying shells and dense energy beams converged from all directions, launching a comprehensive strike on Batman, embodied by Anton.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Anton activated the laser, quickly spinning around, and the energy beams and shells in mid-air were detonated by his laser in mid-air.
The thunderous explosion resounded through the skies, deafening.
The shells and energy beams exploded in succession like firecrackers, sending up a burst of flames,
the strong shockwave creating visible ripples in the air, and dense smoke filled the air, obscuring even the dark mass of Chitauri.
Seeing this, Green Arrow and others instinctively paused.
Because the ring of Chitauri blocked their view, they couldn't see the condition of Batman at the center of the encirclement,
under the massive explosion, not only did their hearts tremble, but their steps faltered too, eyes fixed forward, fearing that Batman might have encountered a mishap.
"Batman is fine!"
Seeing this, Green Arrow urged: "We don't have much time, we must ensure that Batman can close the space portal."
Hearing this, others somehow felt relieved.
Although they didn't know the truth of Green Arrow words, as Batman loyal comrade-in-arms speaking with such certainty, it seemed he had a way to monitor Batman condition.
Whether it was psychological or not, their tension indeed eased.
This scene also caught the eyes of others.
"Gulp!"
A cameraman from the media team swallowed nervously: "Batman won't be harmed, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense, even if you die, Batman won't!"
The reporter hands shook, barely holding the microphone steady, and gritted his teeth: "God bless, Batman must be safe."
Although their conversation was in a low voice, the microphone with excellent sound quality picked it up and transmitted it to the ears of everyone watching the live broadcast.
"Batman, you absolutely cannot have anything happen to you!"
Everyone clasped their fists and placed them on their chests, praying silently.
Within the Chitauri encirclement.
Most of the barrage of shells and energy beams had been preemptively detonated by the laser,
but some slipped through, shooting straight at Anton in his original position.
With a step, Anton activated the jetpack on his back, propelling him into the air.
Anton knew that staying on the landing pad would only make him a target for these aliens, so he found a gap and darted into the midst of the Chitauri ranks.
Boom! Boom!
As he had anticipated.
Despite being inside the enemy formation, they did not cease their attack energy beams and shells were fired indiscriminately, without any regard for whether they might hit their own troops.
Boom!
The Chitauri encirclement was instantly filled with explosions.
With continuous bursts of fire, Anton used the laser beams and various weapons he carried to harvest the lives of the Chitauri soldiers while trying his best to dodge the enemy attacks.
However, the enemy assault was too ruthless, this kind of indiscriminate bombing, regardless of their own casualties, somewhat affected him.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Even though the kingdom come Armor was highly durable, under this barrage of hits, its durability continuously decreased.
In just a few blinks, a large number of Chitauri were dead or injured, and the durability of Anton kingdom come Armor had rapidly dropped by fifty percent.
Anton felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, he had decisively exchanged for this set of armor during the battle with Loki.
If he had relied on the Arkham Knight Armor, he would not have been able to hold out this long perhaps he would have been destroyed in the first round of the enemy frenzied bombing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as the thought passed, the Chitauri indiscriminate bombing came again.
After making a full effort to dodge, a large number of unavoidable shells hit Anton, and the jetpack on his back began showing signs of stalling.
Inside the armor, Anton body also felt a bit of pressure.
Durability down to 69, damage rate 78.
Warning, kingdom come Armor damage rate over 50%, operating power adversely affected, combat effectiveness reduced by 66, flight function about to cease operation.
Fortunately, he still had a trick up his sleeve.
To repair the kingdom come Armor would deduct 16 million fan points (40% of the armor original value), confirmation required.
Anton decisively confirmed.
Among his current personas, Batman was undoubtedly the top draw, having already broken through the 100 million fan points mark.
The fan points of his other heroes combined barely exceeded twice that of Batman. A mere 16 million fan points was nothing to him.
The next moment, the previously faltering Anton instantly changed into a brand new suit of armor.
kingdom come Armor restored to factory settings.
Anton combat level returned to its peak, fully recharged.
Laser beams surrounded him, and the enemies around him exploded instantly.
After Anton delaying tactics, his comrades, including Green Arrow, finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
"Damn aliens, die!"
Under the Spider-Man mask, his face was filled with anger.
His idol was being shamelessly attacked by aliens using overwhelming numbers, many against one, putting him in such perilous danger, and he felt it deeply.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Webbing shot out, pulling down enemy fliers, his body drawing an arc in the midair, followed by a kick that sent one flying.
Others used various methods to delay the Chitauri actions.
"Batman, do what you must!"
Captain America, Steve Rogers, gripped his shield tightly, threw it to kill the enemy, and caught it on its return, fighting while shouting,
"Leave this to us!"
Seeing this, Anton nodded, jets on his back firing, breaking through the Chitauri line to reach the landing pad again.
By then, the landing pad was firmly occupied by the Chitauri.
Their leader, guessing Anton intent, had the newly arrived Chitauri guard the area as soon as Anton escaped the encirclement.
However, this group of Chitauri could not stop Anton progress.
Soon, Anton was close to the Tesseract again.
At the critical moment, a bio-warship emerged from the space portal, launching a long-brewing terrifying missile at Anton, streaking like a falling meteor with a long tail of flames.
"Batman!"
"Watch out!"
Everyone was horrified.
With the Chitauri formation disrupted, this scene was also captured by the cameras and widely broadcast.
Including the military back in the United States, everyone unconsciously clenched their fists, their expressions tense.
Everyone knew just how dire the situation was.
However, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of anxious and tense viewers, Anton as Batman faced the pressure of the incoming missile,
not retreating an inch but instead inserting the Mind Staff he had been holding into the protective stance outside the Tesseract.
"Batman, you maniac!"
"No way!"
Everyone was stunned, thinking Batman was sacrificing himself for victory.
The missile grew closer.
In a blink of an eye, it was just ten meters from the Stark Tower landing pad.
Clang!!
Finally, at the last moment, a slender figure arrived.
Two Guardian Bracelets collided.
Boom!!
A wave of divine power swept over, a terrifying divine shockwave exploded, accompanied by a divine shield that blocked the missile outside the Stark Tower.
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the missile exploded, a massive shockwave, accompanied by a deafening sound, blasted back in the direction from which the missile had come.
Captain America and the others saw a deep trench carved through several hundred meters.
It punched a hole through several high-rise buildings.
The Chitauri soldiers in its path were instantly annihilated by this immense force.
"Hiss!"
Everyone gasped, shocked at the power of the missile and Wonder Woman strength.
To be able to block such a formidable missile!
Is this what gods are like?
However, Wonder Woman forehead was beaded with sweat, clearly under great pressure.
Of course, the focus now was not on Wonder Woman, but on Batman, whom she was protecting.
Zzzzz!
The Tesseract protective shield began to dissolve under the influence of the Mind Staff.
Two forces of the same nature negated all the previous effects, including the control Loki had exerted over the Avengers members with the Mind Staff.
Following that, Anton fired a laser, destroying the space portal device.
The stars above immediately began to shrink.
Without the energy supply from the Tesseract, the space portal started to disappear, shrinking more and more.
At this moment, Batman turned to look at Connors and others who had followed.
Although the great crisis had been resolved, Batman appeared still calm, showing no sign of tension, as if everything was under his control.
He spoke lightly: "The thing I asked you to bring, you did bring it, right?"
"Of course."
Connors nodded, his incarnation as the Lizard Doctor seemed ferocious, yet it revealed a hint of excitement.
