After dealing with Supergiant, Peter casually shook his hand and tossed her aside like a piece of trash.
Once everything was finished, he flashed a smile at the surrounding Superheroes and said:
"Are you ready, guys?"
"Aye-aye, Captain!" Harry quipped, playing along. His antics caused the people around him to instinctively take a few steps away, feeling as though this rich young master had some kind of mental issue.
Peter winked at him, then raised his wrist and lightly flicked the dial of the Omnitrix with his fingertip.
The dial turned and stopped on the icon representing Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman.
"Now, it's time to sound the horn for the counterattack!"
A glimmer of light flashed by.
Peter skipped the transformation sequence entirely and simply snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The crisp sound of the finger snap echoed over the battlefield.
In the next second, a translucent light shield, nearly invisible to the naked eye, lit up on the bodies of all the Superheroes who were currently fighting hard.
It was the ultimate defense, composed purely of the Invisible Woman's telekinetic power!
The Superheroes who had experienced the previous battle in Hells Kitchen were all too familiar with this kind of energy shield.
"Yahoo~"
Harry couldn't help but start showing off:
"Aliens, prepare to die! My cheat code has arrived!"
As he spoke, the boy even abandoned his flying skateboard and pumpkin bombs.
He charged straight at the Chitauri Soldiers holding energy rifles, smugly spreading his arms wide.
Seeing this, the Chitauri Soldiers frantically pulled their triggers one by one.
But when the high-heat beams hit the light shield, they didn't even cause a ripple; the nearly bug-like shield directly absorbed all the energy.
Harry walked up close and, with a double-palm strike to the ears, flattened a Chitauri Soldier's head, shouting triumphantly:
"Wuhu~ This feels great!"
After shouting, he didn't forget to look at the surrounding Superheroes:
"What are you still standing there for? All units, attack!"
"The trial card is going to expire if you wait any longer!"
The Red Guardian, who was just as eccentric as Harry, was the first to react. He let out a shout of "Ura!" and followed Harry's lead, charging into the Chitauri army and starting a relentless slaughter.
The other Superheroes, seeing this, naturally refused to be left behind and launched their counterattacks one after another.
With the Telekinetic Shield protecting them, they completely abandoned defense, focusing entirely on lethal strikes.
On the other hand, of the remaining three Chitauri motherships, one had completely lost its troops.
The other two motherships had become brainless bots that only knew how to charge blindly because they had lost their commanders, Supergiant and Black Dwarf.
It could be said they had completely turned into experience packs for everyone.
Over the next ten minutes or so, the Superheroes fought bravely, each striving to be the first.
They slaughtered the Chitauri Soldiers until not a single one was left!
Finally, as the last Chitauri Soldier fell,
the war came to a complete end. Those three Chitauri Leviathans also had their neural centers easily destroyed by Peter, leaving them completely paralyzed in mid-air.
In the underground safe house, there was silence for a full three seconds.
Immediately afterward, a sudden burst of cheers erupted, nearly blowing the roof off!
People hugged each other tightly, screaming The Arbiter's name at the top of their lungs.
The cult of personality reached its historical peak at this moment!
Some even proposed changing the Lincoln Memorial in Washington to The Arbiter Memorial,
directly replacing the 5.8-meter-tall statue of Lincoln—the one inscribed with 'Lincoln will be immortal and live forever in the hearts of the people'—with a statue of The Arbiter.
And on distant Titan, Thanos stared at the images playing on the light screen. Not a hint of anger could be seen in his eyes; instead, they were filled with an eager desire for battle.
How many years had it been? How many years since he had encountered an opponent of this level?
Crushing uru metal with bare hands, killing Supergiant in a single glance.
This level of combat power was a rare existence in the entire Universe!
"My Lord, should we send a fleet over?"
Ebony Maw, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask tremulously, fearing he might draw Thanos's ire.
To this suggestion, Thanos simply waved his hand casually:
"Now is not the time."
Although he loved battle, he was not a brainless war maniac.
He knew very well that behind that blue Planet stood not only that mysterious Arbiter but also Odin, who was secretly guarding it.
That man's power was something even he had to be wary of.
A full-scale invasion of Earth now would not be worth the cost!
He still had to find the remaining Infinity Stones first.
Thanos gazed into the distance, silently setting his strategy.
Once he had gathered the stones, he would have a good time playing with this interesting Earthling...
...
After the war ended, Peter didn't stay idle.
He strolled through streets filled with ruins and broken walls.
Wherever he went, the white light of the Horse Talisman spread rapidly like ripples on water.
Where the light passed, collapsed buildings rose from the ground again like a movie playing in reverse.
Broken glass was restored to its original state, and fractured roads were re-joined.
In just a few minutes, several of the most valuable commercial districts were restored to their original appearance.
This 'resurrection' trick, no matter how many times they saw it, left the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents responsible for assessing the damage dumbfounded.
After restoring a few commercial streets to ensure basic supplies, Peter began to take stock of his spoils of war.
He came to Supergiant's corpse. After searching her body with his hand, he suddenly punched through her heart and pulled out an object resembling an energy crystal.
[Detected sacrificeable dark blue item: Damaged Supergiant Psychic Core]
[Sacrifice to obtain points: 10,000]
Next was an entire Chitauri Leviathan:
[Detected sacrificeable purple item: Paralyzed Chitauri Leviathan]
[Sacrifice to obtain points: 20,000]
In the blink of an eye, a full 30,000 sacrifice points were credited.
As for the large axe of Black Dwarf that he had crushed, he hesitated for a moment and chose not to sacrifice it.
Because this thing had already been crushed by him.
Perhaps because the axe blade was broken and could not be repaired, the system gave it a very low rating, and the price was only about 7,000 sacrifice points.
This price was simply ridiculously low.
Rather than letting the damn system have it cheap, Peter would rather find an opportunity to melt this thing down himself and extract the uru metal within.
He could use it along with the uru metal and the World Tree branch Odin had left him to forge a divine artifact exclusive to himself!
After completing the sacrifices, Peter picked the most intact Leviathan and had the "Wheel of Fortune" possess it.
When the Stand took over this alien beast, it directly underwent an adaptive transformation into Peter's exclusive interstellar ride.
At this point, Peter finally had his own spaceship!
Looking at the Chitauri Leviathan, which had completely changed its appearance—its biological traits visibly decreasing as it became more and more like a starship from a science fiction novel—
Peter unconsciously rubbed his chin.
Since this ready-made spaceship was already in his hands, should he also try to start a brand-new space instance?
