Looking at the tiny Vision stepping out of Spot's portal, everyone present was stunned. Even the previously tense atmosphere seemed to dissipate considerably.
"A... a child??"
Rhodes, clad in the Iron Patriot armor, was originally highly tense, his shoulder-mounted minigun lowered and ready for battle.
But now, he popped his faceplate open, stammering as he pointed at Vision, unable to form a complete sentence.
In that instant, for some reason, everyone recalled Tony Stark's elementary school appearance from before.
Everyone had momentarily ignored that bizarre phenomenon due to the existence of the Hell Gate, but now they all looked at Tony with strange expressions.
"What child? This is obviously a robot!"
Tony, who had also suited up, defended weakly. However, looking at this pint-sized Vision, he couldn't shake the feeling that the design style was remarkably similar to his own.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Harry, perhaps having a brain fart, suddenly blurted out.
"Luca! Did you build yourself a robot son?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly speechless.
Gwen glared fiercely at Harry for saying that.
"Shut up, you..."
Luca was also speechless, rolling his eyes dramatically. Ignoring Harry, whose brain seemed to have been eaten by Venom, he directly ordered the newly arrived Vision.
"Vision, activate Transcendence invincibility mode, go into the portal, take a look, and confirm the situation."
"But make sure to come back before Transcendence ends, understand?!"
That's right, the reason Luca refused Tony risking his life and called Vision over was because Vision, equipped with the [Orbs], possessed the System-certified 'Invincibility' skill.
Even if Thanos with six Infinity Stones was standing on the other side, Vision could at least ensure his own safety.
Unless he encountered something like spatial turbulence—a move that doesn't damage the body but 'sends people away'—he wouldn't end up like those drones, gone forever.
Although there was still a certain risk, it was much more appropriate than letting Tony rush in recklessly.
Hearing Luca's order, Mini-Vision just nodded slightly to show understanding, then walked quickly to stand in front of the portal.
The next moment.
Vision's small hands formed a Buddhist seal solemnly.
His body levitated into the air, and the circle of orbs around his neck quickly dispersed, hovering in a ring behind him.
In an instant, Buddhist light surged around Vision, and like the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva, six translucent golden mechanical arm phantoms suddenly appeared unfolded behind his back.
In that instant, everyone around felt the 'Buddha's Light shining upon all,' and their fatigue seemed to recover under this golden light.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment.
Vision, having activated the 'Transcendence' stance, didn't waste his invincibility time and dived directly into the Hell Gate.
The surrounding Buddha light naturally disappeared with him.
Only Luca, ignoring the feeling brought by the light, stared fixedly at the Hell Gate in front of him.
Time passed second by second.
Luca knew that with Vision's current energy, the duration of this 'Transcendence' stance wasn't long, only a little over 6 seconds.
If this time was exceeded, he could only let Mitsuki try using the Summoning Jutsu to see if he could retrieve [Vision] and the [Orbs] across dimensions.
Fortunately, things didn't seem to develop in the worst direction.
Just as the 6th second was about to end, the golden Buddha light appeared in front of everyone again.
A golden Vision, covered in blood and holding a mostly shredded demon head, rushed out of the Hell Gate fiercely.
"There are more behind!"
Vision first shouted a warning, then immediately turned around to face the Hell Gate, a dazzling yellow laser beam shooting rapidly from his forehead.
Sizzle sizzle~
A series of piercing sounds, accompanied by a slight smell of burning sulfur.
Another demon with a hole through its chest stumbled out of the Hell Gate.
But even so, the roaring behind the gate continued unabated.
The next moment.
Lasers, arrows, bullets, grenades, spider webs...
Various attacks from the Avengers blasted into the portal like a tide.
Many missed attacks even shattered quite a few experimental devices behind the portal.
But even so, demons still managed to push through the corpses of demons in front, enduring the firepower to rush out of the Hell Gate.
Fortunately, everyone was fully prepared. Even if a demon occasionally rushed out, it was quickly killed.
It wasn't until a while later that no new demons seemed to rush out of the portal, and everyone slowly ceased fire.
Roar—
Slash~
After Mitsuki slashed off the head of the last demon trying to play tricks with a surprise attack, he sheathed his sword and stood like a gate god beside the portal again.
Everyone looked at each other, silent for a moment, and finally, all eyes fell on Vision who had rushed out of the Hell Gate.
"What's the situation inside?!"
Steve was the first to ask urgently.
If it was just one or two demons running out occasionally that could be dealt with immediately by someone on guard, he could calmly wait for Tony and the others to find a way to solve the problem and slowly try to close this Hell Gate.
But given the density and madness of the demons pouring out just now, the severity of this event had obviously risen infinitely in Steve's mind.
However, Vision, questioned by the Captain, didn't speak but turned to look at Luca.
Luca knew he wasn't asking for parental help or anything, so he immediately took out a small holographic projection device and tossed it to Vision.
"Use this to show it!"
Holding the holographic projection, Vision quickly displayed the scene he had just seen under everyone's nervous gaze.
The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a huge spiral shaped like a grinder, full of crimson spikes, right after he entered the portal.
Vision explained synchronously.
"This is some kind of defense mechanism. The other side seems to intend to make the portal a one-way transmission. The drones sent in before should have all been destroyed by this grinder."
As he spoke, the projection's perspective had arrived in front of this red spiked grinder.
Everyone immediately heard a series of sharp, ear-piercing friction sounds.
Crimson spikes continuously rotated and cut Vision's body. However, the invincibility of the 'Transcendence' stance was indeed powerful enough.
Even the nine orbs floating behind Vision remained motionless under this continuous attack.
Many crimson spikes were even broken and shattered the instant they touched Vision's body.
His figure passed through this defensive barrier forcefully.
However, when the view passed this layer of red grinder, everyone present gasped in unison.
On the charred and ruined hell wasteland, only one thing filled their vision.
Demons!
Endless demons!
