At the very front of the battlefield, Reze, relying on the unreasonable constitution of a Weapon Human, was frantically trading punches with Hulk.
Ridiculously, Lux was actually holding the front line as well.
She propped up a thick Seraphim Shield, taking Hulk's heavy punches that smashed down like cannonballs head-on.
The violent force shattered the shield, causing blood to seep from the corner of Lux's mouth.
But before she could even spit out a second mouthful of blood, a green healing light from Unohana Retsu in the rear lit up, instantly restoring her to full health.
This left Hulk looking completely bewildered.
As for Perona, she floated leisurely in mid-air, taking advantage of her spiritualization to frantically draw aggro.
Every now and then, she would throw out a few Negative Ghosts, and sometimes a few Mini Ghosts.
It made it impossible for Hulk to tell what kind of ghost was flying at him this time; he couldn't hit them, so he could only retreat and dodge, feeling incredibly annoyed...
Facing this kind of "sticky candy" tactic backed by a mobile fountain, Hulk grew more and more frustrated as the fight went on.
His mind was like that of an irritable, ignorant child, but he wasn't stupid; he could naturally see the disadvantage as his strength waned while theirs remained.
Seeing that he couldn't kill these troublesome women head-on, Hulk suddenly stomped and shattered the ground, leaping into the air with both fists aimed straight at Perona, the biggest threat in the sky.
"Whoosh—"
However, the powerful wind from his punch passed through Perona's translucent body without suspense, hitting nothing but air.
Upon landing, Hulk was nearly grazed by a Negative Ghost Perona threw back in return, scaring him into scrambling backward to dodge.
This infuriated Hulk, his little green face turning a shade of red.
That pink-haired woman floating in the sky was practically his nemesis!
Meanwhile, Loki, standing atop Stark Tower overlooking the battle, was gritting his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.
That idiot brother of his, who had been pinned down by a building, still hadn't made a sound; he most likely couldn't be counted on.
Right now, the only combat power left to hold the line was Hulk.
He couldn't possibly count on those Chitauri Soldiers, could he?
They were truly pathetic!
Yet the group below didn't care about martial ethics at all, shamelessly playing a "Warrior-Mage-Priest" team-up to gang up on him!
The God of Mischief of Asgard naturally saw the disadvantage even more clearly than Hulk.
As long as that woman with the braided hair draped over her chest was in the back frantically healing, it was only a matter of time before Hulk was worn down to death.
Even as strong as the Hulk was, his movements had visibly slowed down.
His coarse skin was covered in large bruises from the continuous explosions.
On the other side, although the constitutions of Reze and the others were far inferior to Hulk's—with their ribs easily snapped by a single punch—the braided woman in the back just calmly raised her hand, and a green light flashed.
The sound of bones snapping was followed by the instant healing of the injuries, and they were back on their feet immediately.
Watching this scene made Loki's scalp tingle.
What the hell kind of magic was this?
Forget Midgard; even the top witches of Asgard wouldn't have such an absurd ability!
However, after the initial shock, a mocking sneer quickly curled onto Loki's lips.
"Too young, after all."
Loki sneered inwardly. How did this group dare to leave a medic with god-tier healing abilities—but who looked like she couldn't even hurt a fly—so defenselessly exposed at the very back of the team? Exposed right in front of him?
Was this not looking down on him, Loki?
The enemy was in the light, while he was in the dark.
As long as he went back to his old trade and secretly took out this healer, the three women in front would be of no concern at all.
If not for this mobile fountain...
Whether it was that Reze or that mage girl with the same disgusting silky blonde hair as his brother, they would have died a thousand times over!
Believing he had seen through everything, Loki immediately issued an order.
Receiving the command, Hulk roared, gave up the fight, and turned to sprint toward the ruins several blocks away.
Reze, Perona, and Lux—who was wearing a Cloak of Levitation—all possessed the ability to fly.
Seeing Hulk stumbling as if he were exhausted and trying to flee.
The three of them glanced at each other and took to the air to give chase without hesitation.
As the battle line stretched, the entire formation inevitably became disjointed.
Unohana Retsu, who was walking slowly on the ground, was thus left behind by the main group.
She walked alone into an empty, silent street.
The prey was isolated.
No sooner said than done.
Loki could no longer care about his dignity as a god...
After all, the other god was still buried under the ruins...
Atop Stark Tower, Loki left behind a lifelike illusion.
As for his main body, he had already used magic to conceal his form and landed at the edge of that abandoned street.
He as like a seasoned hunter, following silently behind Unohana Retsu, keeping a moderate distance.
The woman ahead walked with light steps, exuding a defenseless and gentle aura.
But for some reason, the excessively quiet air around them caused a strange feeling to bubble up in Loki's heart.
She was too composed...
On this battlefield that had just suffered a devastating blow, her leisurely, strolling posture was completely out of place.
Loki suppressed his doubts, flicked his wrist, and a dagger gleaming with a cold light quietly slid into his palm.
Having no other options, Loki finally returned to his old trade...
The distance shortened bit by bit.
Ten steps...
Five steps...
Three steps.
Just at the moment when Loki's muscles tensed, ready to strike.
Unohana Retsu, walking in front, stopped without warning.
This The sudden stop made Loki gasp for breath.,My heart skipped a beat..
Then, the gentle woman with her back to him parted her red lips and said in a soft tone that made his hair stand on end: "As expected... My Lord was right."
"When facing conceited and cunning prey, the best way is to let them come to you."
The moment she finished speaking, a bone-chilling cold that made his soul tremble shot up Loki's spine to the back of his head.
The entire street was empty; who was she talking to?
And who was this "Lord"?
Most importantly—prey?
Loki subconsciously gripped his dagger tighter; only then did he notice that his palms were already covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
Who was the prey?
Shouldn't the prey be this weak-looking healer in front of him?!
Without giving him any room to clear his thoughts, Unohana Retsu slowly turned around. In her previously empty right hand, she now held a long Tachi with a curved blade. What truly made Loki feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar were her eyes.
Those eyes, which always used to overflow with a gentle smile, now had slightly dilated whites, and their dark depths seemed to brew a murderous intent like a sea of corpses. Even more terrifying was that this suffocating gaze didn't waver for a second, staring fixedly at the spot where he was hidden.
She... she can see me!
How is that possible?!
