Clearly, Ant-Man, who had not signed a Lending contract, was no match at all for Peter, who had long since become one of Harry's Lenders. Not to mention, Peter's Lending contract was different from everyone else's. It was the highest-tier Supreme VIP contract!
After being casually sent flying by Peter yet again, Ant-Man lay on the ground coughing up blood and finally realized something was wrong. He asked in confusion, "Why? Why are all of you so strong, and why does it feel like all of you can use magic?"
In truth, not long after the battle started, Ant-Man had already noticed that something was off. Were most of the Avengers' founding members not way too strong?
According to the records, wasn't Captain America, Steve, just a soldier? Why could he control the power of Thor and clash head-on with Tony Stark's magic?
And weren't Hawkeye and Black Widow originally ordinary people who had undergone strict training? Then why was one of them using Railgun arrows, while the other was using telekinesis to grab a large truck and throw it at the enemy?
The Spider-Man in front of him was strange too. Before the fight, Ant-Man had merely thought Spider-Man's strength was impressive and had reached the level of the Hulk.
But now, after seeing the magical array that appeared on Spider-Man's chest like a spiderweb, how could Ant-Man not realize that even Spider-Man, who had seemed like a Muggle, was also a sorcerer capable of using body-enhancement magic?
Damn it. What was wrong with this world?
Could it be that anyone who wanted to become a powerful superhero had to master magic?
Were Muggle heroes like them only destined to get bullied?
Damn it, when would Muggle heroes finally rise up?!
Peter kicked Ant-Man in the stomach, nearly making him throw up the dinner he had eaten two days ago. Then Peter felt he might have hit a little too hard and said somewhat sheepishly, "Uh, sorry. Since nobody can die in Harry's world, I might have gone a little overboard. But please don't worry. I'll send you off right now.
"As for why we can use magic, of course it's because we all signed Lending contracts with Harry and became his Lenders, so we can use his magical power."
After learning the truth, Ant-Man roared while coughing up blood, "No, that's not fair!"
Then his head exploded like a bursting watermelon under Peter's heavy punch.
Peter looked at Ant-Man's corpse, thought for a moment, and replied, "Sorry. Harry told me this world was never fair to begin with!"
Immediately afterward, he rushed toward Bucky and Sam.
Before the battle began, Tony had already predicted that superheroes who were not Lenders and superheroes who had become Lenders were on two completely different levels of combat power.
And Peter had only one mission, to kill the enemy units who were not Lenders as quickly as possible!
Peter moved nimbly between the abandoned boarding bridges and cargo crates, his red-and-blue suit snapping loudly in the wind.
The white lenses over his eyes flashed with excitement, and his web-shooters continuously fired silver-white strands of webbing, which danced through the air like agile silver snakes.
"Hey! Seniors, incoming!" Peter shouted. Using his webbing to swing into the air, he dove fiercely toward Sam and Bucky.
Just now, Sam and Bucky had witnessed the general process of Peter's fight with Ant-Man, so naturally they knew how strong Peter was.
So when faced with Peter's charged attack, they did not dare block him head-on.
Falcon, Sam, immediately activated the Redwing flight pack on his back and quickly rose into the air to dodge. Bucky also reacted swiftly, rolling sideways to avoid Peter's flying pounce.
However, Peter's attack was far from over.
He flipped neatly in midair, flicked his wrists, and several strands of webbing shot toward the two like long whips.
The webbing accurately wrapped around Sam's Redwing flight pack, and the powerful pulling force made Sam lose control of his flight pack's balance, causing him to shake violently in the air.
At the same time, another web wrapped around Bucky's mechanical arm and yanked hard, pulling Bucky until he staggered several steps.
A fierce light flashed in Bucky's eyes. He pulled hard with his mechanical arm, trying to break free from the webbing, but Peter's webbing was extremely adhesive. No matter how much strength he used, he could not escape.
Sam also tried hard to get rid of the tangled webbing. He activated the jets on his flight pack, flames bursting out as he tried to burn through the webs, but Peter was already prepared. The moment the webbing was about to burn apart, he shot out new webbing and tangled Sam's flight pack once again.
Peter swung onto a tall light tower and looked down at the two of them from above, shouting excitedly, "Sorry, Mr. Stark asked me to finish you off as quickly as possible, so I can only go all out!"
After saying that, his hands moved rapidly, and countless strands of webbing shot toward Sam and Bucky like raindrops.
The webs intertwined in the air into a huge net, enveloping the two of them.
Sam and Bucky were tightly bound by the webbing and could not move. They could only struggle helplessly.
Bucky panted heavily, his eyes filled with unwillingness. "This kid, why is he so hard to deal with?"
Sam was also full of helplessness. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect we'd be trapped by a brat."
Peter lightly leaped down from the light tower and landed steadily in front of the two of them. Hands on his hips, he said proudly, "Thanks for the match, seniors! If possible, after this match ends, you'd better sign Lending contracts with Harry too. Right now, you two are way too weak!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Peter threw a punch that landed on Sam's head and blew it apart. After that, he carried the Winter Soldier, who had lost the ability to resist, and headed toward the most intense battlefield.
The Winter Soldier was somewhat puzzled and did not know where Peter was taking him, so he asked, "Hey, kid, why did you kill Sam but spare me? Where are you taking me now?"
Peter did not hide his goal and answered, "I'm taking you to Mr. Stark."
"Stark, Tony Stark?" The Winter Soldier's expression changed slightly. Although Tony had outwardly forgiven him, the person he least wanted to face right now was still Tony. After all, he had once personally killed Tony's parents.
The Winter Soldier fell silent for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why are you taking me to him?"
Peter smiled and explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Winter Soldier. Mr. Stark only wants to kill you. After all, even if he forgave you, there's still a thorn in his heart. This is the perfect chance to pull that thorn out."
The Winter Soldier moved his lips, unable to say anything for a long time. In the end, he sighed and said, "That works."
The Winter Soldier had never thought of himself as innocent, but he also felt wronged. He was clearly a victim too, yet he had to be hated by the families of the people he had killed while brainwashed.
It was just as well. If this match could help Tony untie the knot in his heart, then to him, that would also be a good outcome.
Soon, Peter brought the Winter Soldier to the central battlefield. Here, countless flashes of magic and lightning continuously erupted, destroying everything around them.
The battle between Tony and Steve was becoming more and more intense. The powers of magic and thunder clashed without end, and the entire airport trembled.
Tony suddenly raised both hands high, chanting under his breath. A massive magical vortex formed above Steve's head, its powerful suction trying to devour him.
Steve gripped his vibranium shield tightly, his eyes wide with fury. The power of thunder gathered around him into a huge ball of lightning, and he forcefully threw the lightning ball toward the magical vortex.
The instant the lightning ball collided with the magical vortex, it was as if heaven and earth froze.
Immediately afterward, an incomparably dazzling light illuminated the entire Mirror Dimension. A powerful shock wave spread outward with the two of them at the center. Everywhere it passed, buildings collapsed one after another, and streets were leveled.
Peter, who had strengthened his body through the Web of Destiny, naturally did not fear these shock waves. He pushed upstream against them and quickly brought Bucky to Tony.
After nonstop intense fighting, the magical nanotech armor on Tony's body had already suffered nearly half its damage, forcing part of his arms and shoulders to be exposed.
Seeing Peter arrive with Bucky, Tony's grave face finally revealed a trace of joy. "Good job, Underoos!"
Tony grabbed Bucky by the collar and lifted him high. The expression on his face was very complicated, containing both anger and helplessness.
Bucky also looked at Tony. He did not try to break free from Tony's hand. He only said softly, "Tony, I'm sorry…"
"No need to apologize!" Tony interrupted his apology. "Before this, Wanda and Quicksilver forgave me. Now, I will forgive you too. But even though I know you weren't at fault, I'm still angry. So this match is a very good opportunity. It will let us completely end this twisted fate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony did not wait for Bucky to react. He flew high into the air and told Peter to get away quickly.
Immediately afterward, the armor on his body rapidly thinned until only a few key areas remained armed. The rest of the nanotech armor floated behind him, forming six energy panels covered in dense Runic matrixes.
Tony channeled a vast amount of magical power into the energy templates, where it mixed with the energy inside the arc reactor and formed a violent energy field!
The next moment, Tony threw Bucky toward Steve. His voice pierced through the thick smoke created by the explosions as he warned, "Steve, catch your dear bestie Bucky!"
Steve swung the shield in his hand, and violent thunder scattered the dust, revealing Bucky's silhouette as he fell from high above.
He leaped fiercely and caught Bucky in a princess carry, asking with concern, "Bucky, are you okay?"
Bucky did not answer Steve's question. Instead, he pointed upward and shouted a warning.
"Steve, look out!"
Steve followed Bucky's gaze and looked up. Then he saw a high-energy sphere nearly ten meters wide descending from the sky, rapidly falling toward him!
This was clearly the high-energy explosive magic Tony had condensed!
At this distance, Steve judged that there was no way he could dodge. So he decisively threw Bucky away, gripped the vibranium shield in his hand tightly, and placed it in front of himself.
Violent lightning formed lightning armor around him, protecting him inside. Steve prepared to take this powerful magical attack head-on!
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and the surrounding area within several dozen meters was covered by violent magical power.
The next moment, a charred figure flew out from the center of the explosion and crashed into a nearby airport building.
The figure's entire body had been torn apart by the violent energy, and large amounts of blood continuously flowed down from the dense wounds all over him.
However, even after suffering injuries that would absolutely be fatal to an ordinary person, this figure was still alive and still retained considerable combat power.
Steve panted violently, tiny flashes of lightning continuously flickering across his body. "Tony, that was really something. You used Bucky to draw my attention, then dealt us a heavy blow. If not for the vibranium shield, I'd probably be dead by now!"
Tony was also panting heavily. Clearly, that magic had consumed a large amount of his power, causing his combat ability to drop sharply for the moment.
However, although he could not use magic, the combat power of the nanotech armor still remained. So after discovering that Steve had not died, he immediately turned his arm and fired a high-energy laser.
The high-energy laser directly pierced Bucky, who had been thrown aside by Steve, blasting through his chest and killing him completely!
If this had been before, seeing his best friend die in front of him would absolutely have made Steve furious, and he might even have lost his mind. But he knew the battlefield was currently Harry's world, and Bucky had not truly died.
Even so, after seeing this scene, Steve was still quite angry. Violent electric light flashed across his body once again, and his voice came from within the piercing thunder.
"Tony, this is the last of my magical power. If you can survive this attack, then this match counts as my loss!"
Tony raised an eyebrow. "Come on, Steve. Let me see what kind of move you've been hiding."
Dark clouds churned above Steve's head into a funnel shape, and white lightning moved like a living thing along his muscular arms.
Around Steve, the air began to distort. Countless bolts of lightning lashed toward the vibranium shield like steel whips, condensing in front of it into a blazing white sphere the size of a basketball.
Through the data provided by JARVIS, Tony immediately judged that this was Harry's former signature move, the Railgun!
He had not expected Steve to rely on the power of Thor and actually master the Railgun!
Of course, Tony knew how powerful the Railgun was. Without hesitation, he began using the last trace of his magical power to outline a defensive magic circle in front of himself.
The Railgun was too fast. There was no way to dodge. He could only defend head-on!
"You should witness true thunder!" Steve's roar mixed with the crackle of electricity. The violent lightning sphere wrapped around the vibranium shield, driving it toward Tony at several times the speed of sound.
Tony's hands formed seals frantically, and twelve golden magical shields stacked layer by layer in front of him. But the vibranium shield was like a heavy hammer, shattering the first five shields one after another and shaking him so hard that blood leaked from the corner of his mouth beneath the helmet.
Clearly, with his magical power depleted, the magical shields Tony condensed could not block Steve's furious attack.
The remaining seven shields only lasted a few more seconds before they were also pierced through. The vibranium shield, still continuously accelerated by electromagnetic force, contained enormous kinetic energy. If it hit Tony, it would probably cut him in half at the waist!
At that moment, a slightly immature voice approached rapidly from far away. Peter charged over at high speed, the Web of Destiny magic now completely materialized around him, wrapping him up and granting him incredible strength.
"Mr. Stark, I'm here to help you!"
