Marvel, New York City.

The attack came suddenly.

The pungent smell of smoke filled the middle of the street, the embers of battle, the cry of the city. The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, mixed with fear and unease, and the smell of blood.

New York became a battlefield.

No one knows where the enemies came from, and no one even now has seen them for what they really are. Enemies like shadows, moving silently, accompanied by astonishing destruction wherever they go.

An army of shadow demons seems to have swept through the streets of the city all of a sudden. There was no omen, no host, no premeditated aggression at all, but more like some kind of anomalous natural disaster, descending in the form of a demonic army.

And as always, those who stand on the front line and resist these unknown invaders are still the most powerful heroes on Earth.

The Avengers.

The hum of the engine swept through the air, and Iron Man's armor flew like a flaming dragon. Blazing warheads shot out of the supersonic flying armor and headed straight for the Shadow Demon army with a sharp whistle.

Bursting in mid-air, countless shadow demons flickered in the firelight, their illusory shells like shadows dispelled in the light.

A dense missile dispersion strike, followed by a high-energy laser fired from the direction of the armor. Like a photon blade slicing through the formation of the Shadow Demon army, a series of fire curtains exploded along the streets.

And a huge green shadow in the street below attacked like a storm. Surrounded by an army of shadow fiends, each step was like a frenzy of power and rage, like a runaway tank crashed into a jet engine.

Hulk, the strongest avenger, the embodiment of anger and violence.

"Smash! Smash it! Hulk smashes Shadow Man! ”

The green fists shook the city, blasting the streets with smoke and dust, and rubble flew everywhere. The shadows around were constantly torn apart by the strange force and the strong wind, driving the gravel to fly in the surrounding streets, and each collision was accompanied by the roar of the earth shaking the mountain.

The shadows of the Shadow Demon group flew around, and black shadows were constantly thrown into the air from the formation, and everywhere they passed was a series of billowing smoke.

"I think it's starting to work."

As he spoke, Hawkeye fired an arrow, which snapped into a large jelly-like gelatinous mass in the crowd, binding all the shadowdemons around him.

"Is it just me or does it seem like the number of these things is a little less than they were at the beginning?"

At this moment, a beautiful girl with red hair and leather clothes was fighting the enemy not far from his side. She waved her arms and danced with her long fingers like the conductor of an orchestra. Transparent crimson fluctuations were released from her body, rippling around her like flowing water, and the red glow was deep and dangerous.

That's Wanda Maxmoff, the Scarlet Witch. Because history has changed from the original, and the Ultron event has been erased from the original history, the Witch and the Quicksilver Twins have been delayed in joining the Avengers.

However, the world line ended, and in the end, they still came here, became the two newcomers of the Avengers, and threw themselves into this sudden battle situation with their predecessors.

Wanda undoubtedly has a very strong ability, and even now, in her untapped early days, her talent for chaos magic is amazing. It's just that she is seriously lacking in actual combat experience, and she has been trembling since she got on the battlefield with a pair of long legs, and her whole heart has been drumming.

As her mind flickered, the furious magic turned into a red whirlwind, constantly striking through the shadow demons around her. There are countless blades hidden in the storm, and Shadow Fiends are constantly being cut and torn apart, twisted to pieces by the power of crimson magic.

Hawkeye took time out of his busy schedule to squint, turned around and shot an arrow. The arrow almost brushed against Wanda's cheek, ruffling her red hair. She was taken aback, took a step back, and turned her head to see a shadow demon behind her who was silently approaching, being hit head-on. The electric current of the arrows instantly pierced through his body.

"Ahh

Wanda sat down on the ground in fright.

"Not only do you have to focus when you're fighting, but you also have to pay attention to your flanks, kid." Hawkeye said.

At this moment, a silver whirlwind swept around him, and a large area of Shadow Demon was emptied as it approached.

Quicksilver braked next to him with a series of slides, and clapped his hands, "You better take care of yourself first, old fellow." You're too slow. ”

"Guys, I don't think they're decreasing in number."

Iron Man pauses briefly, stepping on the propulsion flames suspended in mid-air.

"These things look like they're converging!"

It seems that he was the first to notice it because he was from a bird's-eye view, but once he was alerted, the other Avengers quickly noticed it.

The reason why it feels like there are fewer people around me is because they are moving away.

Or rather, it's converging.

A large number of shadow fiends, along the streets, converged in one place from all directions. They begin to merge, converging into a massive humanoid form.

Some kind of giant-like form, tens of meters tall, incomparably burly, like the outline of a dark mountain, still vague figure, it looks like it is condensed by countless souls.

His feet fell heavily on the ground, and it seemed that the air was heavily suppressed by the breath. The ruins of the city trembled at their feet, as if they were about to level the world.

"What's that?" Hawkeye cursed, "Can't you just stop for a while?" ”

"As you wish, press the shutdown button for it now." Iron Man said that he had stepped forward first.

"Tony, wait"

Before Captain America could finish speaking, Tony had already rushed to the front. The nano armor automatically transforms into several launches and floating cannons.

The arc-shaped reactor had the maximum output, and the dazzling blue mangs swirled and burst out, superimposed with the firepower of the floating cannon, like a twisted dragon.

At the same time, all the missiles were launched in unison, from bottom to top, densely covering all angles of the giant's body.

The whole salvo was fired, covering it with firepower like justice falling from heaven, and it exploded one after another with a bang.

But the hit feedback that followed was unexpected. Whether it was energy or artillery, all the explosions were sucked into the swirling vortex on the surface of the giant's body, and in an instant, they disappeared without a trace.

"What?" Tony was taken aback.

"Ha, your artillery fire is too weak."

A thunderous sound exploded in mid-air, followed by Thor flying down, wielding his Mjolnir.

The sky was suddenly dark and cloudy, the clouds were surging, and thunder was swimming between the clouds.

With Thor's hammer, his heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the rhythm of thunder, and thick lightning slashed down from the clouds, like a thunder dragon rushing towards the Shadow Demon Giant, with the momentum of thunder.

But it still didn't work.

The thunder also seemed to be absorbed by the dark whirlpool, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Odin's beard!" Thor was surprised, "How could it be."

"Iron Man, Thor, all wait first!" The U.S. team shouted, "We don't know how the enemy's body works. rash attack."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the shadow demon giant's arms flutter. Endless light and electricity burst out from that body, and it seemed to be the backlash of the superimposed attacks of the two just now, instantly knocking the two people out of the air.

Iron Man spun through two buildings and disappeared, and Thor slid headfirst down the street and crashed into the Hulk's arms.

"Great, our heavy firepower doesn't do much against it."

Hawkeye flew up and kicked the shadow demon creep next to him, and shouted as he set up his bow and arrows and continued to shoot.

"Can anyone tell me where these things come from? Alien? Or a lab maniac? ”

"Actually, I can hear some of the sounds."

Wanda frowned, trying to concentrate.

"It's like coming from within these things, they share a consciousness. I could hear it telepathically, and it was vague but it was like repeating a name."

"What? Wanda? ”

The U.S. team knocked over two shields with one shot and hurriedly asked.

"Who sent them?"

"Well, I'm not sure if it's a name or not. But I guess what they're repeating is "

Wanda took a deep breath.

Anti-surveillance.
