Malekith looked at the display screen on the battleship showing the situation of the Nine Realms. "The Nine Realms are almost in a straight line! We are going to Midgard! The Aether is there! I will reclaim its power!"
He then walked to Algrim's side. "You will receive the final curse!"
Algrim was also unequivocal. "I am willing to sacrifice my life! Like our people! Like you!"
Malekith looked out at the Earth from afar. "You will become a Kursed! Cursed by this world until you are completely assimilated!"
He then took a Kursed Stone from a subordinate and handed it to him.
Algrim took it and looked at Malekith. "By then! Our enemies will no longer be able to stop you! I will crush them completely! To forge a new universe for you!"
Malekith slowly retreated. A Dark Elf came over with a mask similar to a bull's head. Soon after, several warships detached from the Dark Elves' mothership and headed towards Earth.
On Earth, Tony and the others were still unaware that the Dark Elves were heading straight for them. They were studying the Aether, trying to find something different from the other Infinity Stones in this unusual one.
"The nature of this thing is very similar to that of the Mind Scepter, but I don't understand why it's liquid? And not solid like the other stones?"
Banner observed the constantly flowing Aether through the scanner and kept recording its information.
Thor wasn't too concerned about Tony and Banner's research. They had been studying the Infinity Stones for a while now, and it wouldn't hurt to let them study the Aether a little more. Maybe they could find a way to utilize it.
However, he still insisted on his previous statement. "We can't keep so many Infinity Stones on Earth. It's too dangerous! You only have this time to play with it. Tomorrow, I'm taking it away!"
"Why so urgent?" Banner didn't quite understand Thor's urgency. Was this thing very dangerous? Of course, judging from its attachment to Jane's body, it was indeed very dangerous, but that was only for individuals.
"Every five thousand years! The Nine Realms align in a straight line. During this time, the boundaries between the realms become blurred. The abnormal gravity situation Jane discovered in London before is a sign."
"But fortunately, this situation will improve after the Convergence and the alignment phenomenon ends, and the blurring situation will also disappear! The Aether will have amazing power at that time. The Dark Elves once wanted to use this time to rule the universe."
"Wait? What do you mean? What blurring situation?" Tony frowned at Thor.
"It means that the situation we saw in that factory before will become more serious, right?"
Captain America's expression became a little serious.
"Yeah!" Thor nodded to Captain America.
"Then what should we do?" Natasha also became serious.
"Nothing needs to be done, just wait for the Convergence phenomenon to end!" Thor had never experienced the Convergence phenomenon, but according to the contents of the books, they just needed to wait!
"London! That's the center point! Look!" At this time, Erik Selvig came over with a map.
"The Mayans! The Chinese! The Egyptians! They all utilized the gravitational effects of the Convergence! And left behind maps!"
He spread the map on the table, and everyone gathered around. There were several red lines drawn on the map, and the intersection of the red lines was Greenwich, London!
Jane looked at the map and added, "The boundaries between the realms will almost completely disappear! The laws of physics will completely collapse there! Gravity will fluctuate, and space will be squeezed!"
"I don't understand!" Captain America shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand what Jane was talking about at all, but it sounded terrible. But there was one thing he understood very well.
"Okay! So we need to go there and evacuate the crowd! Right?" Captain America turned his head and looked at everyone.
"That's right! Prepare to depart!" Tony gave the order. Everyone didn't bother with anything else and began to organize their equipment. At the same time, Tony immediately contacted Fury, asking him to notify the local government in Greenwich to evacuate the crowd to avoid the spatial blurring causing harm to the people.
Meanwhile, Malekith's fleet had unknowingly arrived above New York, but no one could detect them. Even Heimdall, who was always watching Earth, didn't notice anything unusual.
It wasn't until Algrim's ship arrived outside Stark Tower, smashing through the glass and crashing inside, that everyone was about to depart.
Algrim and the others also knew about the Avengers. Although they had been sleeping, they had also strangely been able to see the scenes from the sky curtain. Therefore, the moment he rushed in, he crushed the Kursed Stone.
In an instant, his body began to tremble constantly, and scorching energy continuously covered his body, transforming him into a Kursed Warrior. The employees working in Stark Tower saw this scene and fled in terror.
J.A.R.V.I.S. also immediately alerted Tony and the others on the upper floor that they were under attack. At the same time, the several warships sent by Malekith also stopped hiding, revealing themselves and attacking the air defense firepower that Ross had deployed over the past six months.
Because the attack was launched too suddenly, Ross's troops had no time to react. A large amount of air defense firepower was destroyed, and many New York citizens were also attacked by the Dark Elves' artillery fire.
The mission of these Dark Elves was to prevent human weapons in New York City from affecting Algrim's retreat, provided that Algrim could seize the Aether from the Avengers.
But these Dark Elves' understanding of the Avengers was limited to the sky curtain, and they were very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Kursed Warrior. Therefore, they didn't think about what would happen if they failed.
When he received the warning of the attack, Tony was undoubtedly in a state of confusion, because he had no idea where the enemy came from. The drone swarm deployed on the roof of Stark Tower also didn't detect anything.
Even the satellites didn't capture where these enemies came from, and they were right under their noses. This made Tony feel that things were very tricky.
He saw through the holographic projection many warships in the sky above New York that he had never seen before, and squinted his eyes. "Aliens..."
Thor threw his hammer to Natasha, then unleashed his lightning power and smashed through the glass, falling towards Algrim's location. He had already seen this obviously extraordinary guy.
Tony couldn't help but be glad that they hadn't left yet and were still in Stark Tower. Otherwise, if the enemy had attacked after they left, all the Tesseract, the Mind Scepter, and the Aether here would have been lost!
