—------------------—
With Peter's shout of "Assemble!", the great battle officially began!
"Ura~!"
A roar filled with Russian fighting spirit echoed through the sky.
In the crowd, an out-of-shape middle-aged man wearing a red suit with a striking five-pointed star on his chest took the lead, charging toward the Inheritor Family like a cannonball.
It was none other than the Red Guardian, Alexei Shostakov, who had just arrived in New York and hadn't even had time to get over his jet lag.
He felt that as the elder brother, he had to set an example for these youngsters!
Of course, more importantly, he wanted to prove to the audience worldwide that he, the Red Guardian, was far more heroic than Captain America.
However, while the ideal was grand, the reality was heartbreakingly harsh.
He had only just rushed in front of the Inheritor Family and hadn't even had time to see their faces clearly.
Morlun, the leader, waved his hand impatiently and casually.
Slap~
In the next second, the Red Guardian flew backward several times faster than he had come, like a baseball hit for a home run, screaming all the way.
The terrifying strength of the Inheritor Family was fully revealed at this moment.
The hearts of the entire American audience instantly leaped into their throats as they watched the Red Guardian about to smash into a distant skyscraper like a pile of mud, turning into a meat paste.
At the critical moment, a lithe, snow-white figure suddenly appeared.
Natasha Rhomann Deyoff, wearing her symbiote suit, caught this troublesome "fake dad" in mid-air.
Her slender arms now erupted with a terrifying power completely inconsistent with her build. Her feet plowed two deep furrows into the ground before she finally managed to dissipate that immense force.
"Idiot! Do you want to die?" Natasha looked at the Red Guardian in her arms, whose chest had caved in significantly and was on the verge of death, and couldn't help but scold him with a mix of helplessness and anger.
She then brought him to Peter with an apologetic expression.
Peter used the power of the Horse Talisman to instantly restore the Red Guardian to full health.
Although this was just a minor interlude, it made all the superheroes clearly recognize the enemy's strength.
Everyone completely cast aside any thoughts of underestimating their opponents, and the battle officially commenced!
Under Peter's direction, the heroes on the scene showed no confusion, spontaneously dividing into three teams, each with its own responsibilities.
Led by Captain America, the rescue team composed of street-level heroes like Iron Fist, Daredevil, and the Spider Army took action first.
Their task was not to fight, but to use their familiarity with the terrain to evacuate the innocent civilians still trapped in Hells Kitchen as quickly as possible.
On the other side, led by Tony Stark, the frontline combat unit was formed by heroes and "villains" with heavy firepower or extraordinary strength, such as Ghost-Spider, Green Goblin, and Alexei.
"Jarvis, full power! Give these Vampire monsters a bath!"
Tony's armor sprayed scorching energy, and dozens of micro-missiles whistled toward Inheritors, exploding into brilliant bursts of sparks in mid-air.
Harry, the little Green Goblin, followed closely behind on his flying skateboard. Peter had lent him his own flying skateboard, which was possessed by the Wheel of Fortune, to allow him to output damage more freely.
Their only task was to keep all members of the Inheritor Family firmly pinned down on this battlefield at all costs!
The third team consisted of Peter, Felicia, Natasha, and Sandman.
"William! Now!" Natasha shouted to Sandman William Baker nearby.
"Leave it to me!" Sandman growled, his body of yellow sand expanding rapidly until it blotted out the sky.
Simultaneously, Natasha pressed her hands to the ground. Bone-chilling cold air also spread frantically from her as the center, causing the ground to instantly freeze into a thick layer of ice!
"Rise!"
Accompanied by their simultaneous roars, two defensive lines forged from yellow sand and solid ice rose from the ground, perfectly intersecting and merging in the air!
The ice and sand formed a massive, airtight dome that completely shrouded Hells Kitchen, creating a coliseum entirely isolated from the World!
They wanted to ensure that not a single ripple of this battle would leak out or cause even a tiny bit of damage to other areas of New York.
Seeing this scene, the audience across America went wild.
"My god! What powerful strength!"
"I knew The Arbiter had been keeping a low profile just to accumulate incredible power in secret!"
However, just as everyone was marveling at this perfect cooperation, an even more shocking image appeared.
It was Felicia, wearing Tide, who after popping a fire hydrant, began to sing passionately.
The familiar "Heart of New York" once again echoed across the battlefield.
In rhythm with Felicia's singing, water flowed toward the surrounding ice and sand walls. On one hand, it made the ice thicker, and on the other, it made the gaps in the sand walls tighter, granting them stronger buffering capacity.
Furthermore, influenced by Felicia's singing, the superheroes present all felt their spirits lifted and their bodies lightened.
On the opposite side, Inheritors couldn't help but frown, feeling as though the singing made their scalps tingle; it was so noisy they couldn't concentrate.
Almost the instant Felicia's singing began, Peter also made his move.
He turned the seemingly ordinary Omnitrix on his wrist.
In the next second, an invisible yet vast and majestic energy erupted from within his body!
Hum~
Telekinesis invisible to the naked eye instantly spread, forming a translucent energy shield even larger than the Ice-Sand Dome.
This was the Telekinesis he had previously obtained from the Invisible Woman Susan in the Universe where Otto Parker resided.
This shield not only enveloped all of Hells Kitchen but also covered every hero—including the members of Captain America's squad who were evacuating civilians—with a faint, almost imperceptible film of energy.
Peter, by his own effort, provided an ultimate defense buff covering the entire map for all allies present!
With the telekinetic shield provided by Peter, the battle situation underwent a subtle yet crucial change.
"Boom!"
A member of the Inheritor Family flashed behind Iron Fist Danny Rand at a speed difficult for the naked eye to catch, throwing a punch packed with terrifying power into his back.
Ordinarily, this blow would have been enough to shatter Danny's spine and organs into powder.
But at this moment, that thin layer of telekinetic shield flickered at the critical second, completely negating ninety-nine percent of the force.
Danny was sent flying as if hit by a high-speed truck, rolling clumsily on the ground several times.
But a second later, he performed a kip-up and stood right back up. Aside from some dust on his clothes, not a single wound could be seen on his body.
"I... I'm not dead?" Danny looked at his hands in disbelief, his face full of relief after a narrow escape.
Similar scenes were constantly playing out in every corner of the battlefield.
Rhino, Alexei, wearing a Radiation suit and possessing immense strength, collided with Deimos, and both flew backward.
Deimos gasped in pain while clutching his bloody right fist, while Alexei was completely unharmed after his body smashed heavily into the sand wall!
Terrifying attacks that would have normally injured the heroes on contact or killed them with a direct hit now felt like mere scratches.
The difficulty of the battle had instantly dropped several levels because of the existence of this protective shield!
