30. Old dogs also have a few teeth!
"Boom"
A dazzling dark green light fell from the sky, smashing the glorious Times Square to pieces in the streets of Manhattan, and a moment later, a stone giant with flames burning all over its body stood up from the impactful depression and let out a silent roar, and around it was a hellish scene, where demons danced and wantonly slaughtered those panicked humans in the streets.
Above in the sky, a terrible rift shone with a halo of light that looked like another world, like a gate to another world, and swarms of demon bats roamed around in the dim sky, nothing could escape their attacks, and when seen from the sky, the place where the Gates of Hell appeared was a spreading circle, and the dark green light surged rapidly in all directions, eroding the city.
The gates of hell have opened in the most prosperous heart of human civilization, like the end of the world, which is coming.
"Oh my God, God, oh my God!"
Through the porthole of Air Force One, the incumbent president looked out the window at the hordes of warplanes engaged with ghosts, gargoyles, demon bats, and terrifying bone dragons from hell.
There was no one in the cabin of the University who spoke, only the sad voice of the old president,
"I have imagined countless times how our civilization will end, it may be destroyed by internal wars, it may be wars from extraterrestrial civilizations, or even natural changes, but I never thought that I would see all this in my lifetime, and in this way!"
"These monsters, monsters that exist in our history, but can only be regarded as strange by us, do you see? They are trampling on our dignity, trampling on our world, at this moment, I just want to ask you... Where is our counterattack force? What about S.H.I.E.L.D., 3 percent of the country's annual tax revenue is spent on its construction, and now?"
The old president turned his head and looked at the silent Nick Fury with burning eyes, "Tell me, Director, in the face of such a disaster, where is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan? Where is your counterattack? Even if it's just a slap in the face of those devils... But I don't see anything now!"
"Now only New York has fallen, Mr. President..."
Fury looked at the enraged president with the only one eye he had left, and he said in a deep voice, "My agents and I have protected every city except New York... As for the matter in New York, I am sorry, but in the face of two legendary gods, we have no choice! All of B's agents are working hard to seal off the areas of New York that have not yet fallen, and I ask you to authorize me to give me Supreme Mobilization Directive. ”
He was silent for a few seconds,
"The war has begun! Mr. President, if you want to remove me, you'd better wait until the war is over. ”
The person who can be president is definitely not a fool, after Fury finished speaking, he sat back in his chair, he looked out the window at the fierce air battle, he whispered,
"Can our soldiers really deal with such an enemy?"
"Not yet..."
"So we need stronger soldiers, but at least now, the military can cover the retreat of civilians as much as possible." ”
"Then let them go!"
The president handed a document to Fury, who lowered his voice,
"Is that plan you submitted separately, "Avenger"?... I agreed. ”
The old president pursed his lips, "Go ahead, I hope that your team can really prevent such a tragedy from happening again!"
Fury was ordered to leave, and a moment later, another person walked into Mr. President's office, Congressman Kelly rubbed his forehead in embarrassment, in fact, 20 minutes ago, if he hadn't pushed the old president away with his quick eyes, this old man would have been assassinated by a shadow demon who had infiltrated the White House,
"Mr. President, my proposal to you..."
Congressman Kelly rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the old president, and said in a pleading tone, "As you can see, this is no longer the original era of peace, and we have to make some sacrifices to protect our people and country." ”
The old president still looked a little hesitant, he looked up at Congressman Kelly,
"But... That man had attacked us, and he had used the same terrible terrorist tactics..."
"He can help us now! Mr. President..."
Councillor Kelly accentuated, "You've read the report from the scene, he can manipulate the magnetic field of half of the city alone, if we cooperate with him, we can at least keep the rest of the city! Although the mutants disagree with us, they are at least a member of this planet, a member of the living, we don't have to worry about them joining the enemy camp... Releasing them will be beneficial to us, even if temporarily!"
"Is our dignity more important, or is people's lives more important?"
When Congressman Kelly asked this question, the old president finally made up his mind, he glanced at Congressman Kelly, reached out and took out a key made of plastic from the drawer, and put it in the palm of Congressman Kelly's hand.
"Then please, Kelly, my friend... Be sure to keep New York, at least... We can't let it turn into a catastrophe beyond our control!"
Before the two of them could finish their words, the door to the office was pushed open, and Tony Stark, dressed in armor, strode in, he opened his anthropomorphic visor, and said to the president in a relaxed tone,
"Mr. President, I'm here to protect you from this large tortoise shell, and I'll send you to the military's base in New York State, please come with me!"
While these power exchanges hidden under the danger of disaster are staggered, in the center of the opening of the gates of hell, in the city of Manhattan, where the first wave of hell's warriors took over, there are still people who are struggling to fight against these monsters who have rushed into the world from another dimension.
"Ahem, what are you going to do now?"
Cyber coughed with difficulty and asked, he was put in the corner by Santals, in front of Hognis and the small number of mages who survived the raid just now, they were hiding in the ruins of the sanctuary that had been completely destroyed by Gabriel's blow, this guy is very miserable now, in the face of the completely descended Seraph, he has no strength to fight back, but to be honest, not everyone can escape with the bombardment of the archangel.
Most of his body was completely shattered, burned to ashes by the light, but we all knew that the damage would kill him.
"We... We can't leave here!"
There is no longer the previous victory in his hands, the old magic lion is full of sadness at the moment, he looks at the city that has become a post-war ruin, a kind of anger and unwillingness surging back and forth in his heart, but in the face of Lucifer and Gabriel who joined forces, even if the Supreme Mage comes, it will take time and energy to expel them again, they really have the heart but are powerless.
"The Sanctuary can't be handed over, the Sanctuary system maintains the stability of the entire dimension, as long as this place is not destroyed, Lucifer's dimensional fusion will become quite slow, buying us enough time... But we lost a lot. ”
He glanced back at the silent crowd,
"We have to wait for help from the outside world, and although we don't want to admit it, the current situation is no longer something we can handle. ”
Hognes sighed, as a mage, he was well aware of how bad the situation was right now.
"The wall of the world and the dimensional barrier set up by the ancient one have finally gone wrong, and I am afraid that after the fusion of the two dimensions is completed, this wall will completely collapse... We all guessed that times of chaos were bound to come. ”
The old mage wandered through the ruins gloomily, and he whispered, "I just didn't expect it to be so fast!"
"They're coming!"
Strange, who was on guard, jumped down from the ruins from above, holding a runestone in his hand, and said to Hognis, "Gabriel is leading the team, a whole twelve angels, are rushing in our direction, it's time to go!"
"Let's go!"
Hognis pulled the wizard's hat from his head down, and slowly walked up to the ruins, leaving a back for everyone.
"I'm here to help you buy time... Leave the place where the dimension is locked down and go to Kama Taj,"
"You're crazy!
Seibe's newly recovered body struggled to his feet, and he shouted to Hognes, "Hurry up! now is not the time to be a hero! This is not something you can do by sacrificing your old life!"
He turned his head and shouted to Strange, who was stunned in place,
"What are you doing in a daze? Drag him down and get out of here! The old man was stunned. ”
"Master Hognes..."
"Needless to say!"
The old mage stretched out his hand and waved at them,
"The sanctuary cannot be given to them... The current situation is actually a kind of luck, after the dimension opens, New York has become a real two-way passage, if it weren't for the fact that the dimensional fusion has not been completed now, I'm afraid we will face more than just the King of Hell and the Seraph. ”
He whispered, and the voice came to everyone's ears,
"All the gods and demons are looking for an opportunity to enter this world, but they are not completely united with each other, as long as they have wisdom, there will be a conflict of interest, this time it is obviously a plan that Heaven and Hell have worked together, so the first batch of meat eaters, there must be only two of them. At least until the fusion of hell and this world is complete, they will not allow a third party to intervene in it, and this is really the best news in this desperate situation..."
He stretched out his hand to straighten out some torn robes, like an old soldier waiting to go on battle,
"If we let them chase after us like this, none of us will be able to escape, the news here has been blocked, rush back to Kama Taj as fast as possible, tell the Ancient One that things are not out of control yet, and tell her not to impulsively use the power that will lead to greater disaster... Even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the gods and demons return, the earth is still the earth... Humanity still has a place, but if we attract more formidable opponents, we will have nothing!"
This sentence is very informative... Seber and Strange froze for a moment, until a few seconds later, Cyber snorted at Strange,
"Do you hear that? Go and find Gu Yi to save your life!"
"What about you?"
Strange looked at Cyber, who had re-taken out the hammer and carried it on his shoulder, walking staggeringly, but finally did not fall, and he shouted, "What else are you going to do?"
Cyber reached out and put a crumpled cigar in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Strange, the smoke was filled, and the sky was dim in the distance, and in this background, Cyber and Hognes's bodies seemed to be stretched a lot,
"Hey, it's not been a day or two since you've known me... Do you think I'm like a runaway, a warrior deserves to die on his own battlefield, and I can't be surpassed by an old man. ”
"But you're weak! Look at you, someone in TM can knock you over with a fart!"
"Weak?"
Cyber took a deep breath of smoke and pressed the war hammer in his hand to the ground, "It doesn't exist! Kill two more miscellaneous pieces, and the strength will come back, do you think I'm a weak chicken like you?"
He stretched out his hand impatiently and waved,
"Get out of here! don't waste any more time... Gabriel thinks she's going to kill me and the old man, and she wants to kill us like pigs, so I'll make her understand a truth today..."
Seber put his arm around Hognes' shoulder, puffed heavily, and exhaled a vicious puff of smoke,
"A pig can bite off her dirty hands, and an old dog still has a few teeth!"
Strange: "..."
Hognes: "..."
