As Superheroes who all hung around New York City, Spider-Man also knew the group from the Defenders and knew they were also a bunch of Superheroes.
"Even so, this guy is currently resisting an alien invasion! And do you guys really oppose this fellow often?" Spider-Man asked Daredevil a couple of questions, unable to help himself as he watched the battle.
Daredevil, or rather everyone in the Defenders, fell silent immediately.
When Spider-Man arrived just now, he happened to see the Defenders fighting the aliens. However, when those guys from the Defenders faced the Chitauri, they were beaten so badly they fled in panic. Compared to the fierce Kingpin, they were worlds apart.
There was nothing they could do; none of them could fly! Facing the Chitauri who were riding small flying vehicles and firing lasers at the ground, could they do anything but be beaten and flee?
If Spider-Man hadn't descended from the sky to lend them a hand, these unlucky street-level heroes might have even suffered casualties.
Just as the atmosphere on the scene was extremely awkward, everyone suddenly heard a whizzing sound from the sky. Looking up, they saw a guy on a green glider struggling in a fight with a group of Chitauri, and it looked like he was about to lose his hold.
"That's... Harry!" Spider-Man shouted in surprise. "Hold on, I'm coming to help you!"
As he spoke, Spider-Man shot out a web and rushed toward that direction.
Meanwhile, the members of the Defenders looked at each other. Not only could none of them fly, but they were all members of a Melee Team, without even a single person capable of long-range attacks.
Whether it was Iron Fist, Luke Cage, or Daredevil and Elektra, in this situation, they could only watch helplessly.
"That's why I said long ago, we should find a member who can use long-range attacks or fly," Elektra complained. She happened to see some Chitauri who had been shot down from their vehicles and were holding weapons, and her face lit up. "Let's go! We've finally found a situation where we can help!"
There were naturally more than just a few Superheroes in all of New York City, but the X Academy, where Superheroes were most concentrated, was empty—those people had all run off to Wakanda in Africa to enhance their abilities. Even the most important helmet component of Cerebro had been taken away by the Professor.
It wasn't that there was no one; for instance, Beast, the Secretary of the Department of Mutant Affairs, lived here, acting as a sort of gatekeeper for the entire mutant academy. But his character setting was that of a scientist, without any real combat power.
Additionally, characters like Punisher, Deadpool, and Hawkeye also emerged from various corners of New York, beginning to hunt down the Chitauri who had broken through the military's defensive lines.
However, the main force truly opposing the Chitauri still came from Iron Man's Iron Man armors!
With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s endorsement, Tony Stark's speed in manufacturing Iron Man armors became even faster. He even created some simplified versions of the Iron Man armors for high-level field agents to increase their combat effectiveness.
The combat power of these people was much stronger than those ordinary street heroes. They were the main force truly opposing the Chitauri who broke through the blockade—Iron Man armors were simply more useful during wartime; the vast majority of Superheroes didn't have such great destructive power.
At this moment, two small spaceships also landed in New York, and Tony Stark and the others rushed out of the ships.
"Alright, we've finally arrived!" Tony Stark said. Looking at New York City, which was currently in the heat of battle, he let out a long breath. "It seems I'm not too late."
"But... aren't there a bit too many Superheroes in New York?"
"It feels like there are already thousands of them!"
As Tony Stark spoke, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Wait, what's with this energy reading? What kind of monster is it?!"
"Hahahahaha!" Along with bursts of wild laughter, Tony Stark clearly saw a yellow light rise from the city. In almost the next second, it broke through layers of obstacles and reached the front of the Chitauri mothership.
It was a man with long golden hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a yellow skintight suit and a blue cape. Around his waist was a wide belt similar to a boxing champion's belt, with a twisted letter'S' written on it.
By the time Shin and Tony's group saw him clearly, the wreckage of the ships and Chitauri he had smashed through along the way began to fall, and a rain of iron and blood immediately poured down over a large area.
The newcomer stood with hands on his hips in the air, a look of arrogance appearing on his face. He looked disdainfully at the massive warship above his head, his booming voice echoing throughout the city.
"Let me teach you how to be a superhero!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man flicked his long hair, cracked his neck from side to side, and instantly launched into the air. He headed straight for the giant ship above him. During his flight, he held a fist-clenching pose at his waist with both hands, and a dense golden light flooded out frantically from between his fingers.
His flight speed was astonishingly fast, and his muscular body was incredibly sturdy. All the Chitauri blocking his path were instantly blown apart by the impact until he reached out and grabbed the massive mothership.
Compared to the opponent's massive size, he looked like an ant holding up a blue whale. If he hadn't been emitting golden light from his entire body, no one would have even noticed his existence.
But just such a tiny figure managed to lift a mothership millions of times his size and continue to rise rapidly. Moreover, seemingly without much effort, he threw it into the sky with a toss of his hand.
That wasn't all; he also fired a blast of golden energy at the target, directly blowing the mothership into fireworks.
Terrifying energy echoed in the sky like a tide, and the entire New York City was instantly and completely enveloped by this violent explosion. Amidst the rumbling sounds, whether it was skyscrapers or military cannons and tanks, most were crushed in an instant by the airwaves of the explosion.
Shin saw with his own eyes several masked Superheroes being instantly swept up by the terrifying explosion, torn to pieces, and turned into a rain of blood.
"Hahahaha!!!" This glittering golden fellow laughed wildly, appearing very satisfied with his own performance. "Now this is more like it. Did you see my power? I am the true superhero!"
"Motherfcker! Which son of a btch let this guy out?" General Ross cursed loudly.
The damage caused by just this one explosion was dozens or hundreds of times greater than all the Chitauri combined. The original blockade had completely collapsed, and ordinary soldiers had long since been turned into meat paste in the explosion and shockwaves from just now.
