A group of Superheroes had just recovered from the spatial teleportation. Looking up, they saw countless powerful bugs staring at them covetously. The energy tester used by Doctor Doom was almost exploding.
"Careful, these guys are not simple!" Doctor Doom shouted. In reality, there was no need for him to say it; even an ordinary person could feel the energy on those bugs, which seemed like a volcanic eruption.
As soon as his voice fell, both sides started the fight directly.
The Zerg Emperor of the Annihilation Zerg looked no different from a human, except for some bug-like features on his head. Other than that, his skin color was slightly different from a human's, but he still possessed a torso and limbs.
He was already considered a Zerg evolved to the limit. His combat power was definitely not inferior to characters like Thanos or Captain Marvel, especially after he had newly absorbed so much primordial Cosmic Energy from Galactus.
Theoretically, this Zerg Emperor's combat power could rival half a team of Superheroes. Coupled with the thousands of powerful Zerg around him, this group was definitely not a match.
However, at this moment, Galacta and Professor X made a contribution.
Don't be fooled by how cute Galacta looks; her personality is relatively gentle and even a bit dorky. However, as the daughter of Galactus, she is a bona fide Cosmic Entity. She was a powerhouse at the single-universe level from birth and is very likely the next Galactus in the next universal cycle.
Even if she is just a newly born Cosmic Entity, without considering experience, her combat power is even a notch higher than a Skyfather-level being like Odin.
In the Marvel guidebook, Galacta has maxed out all six ratings. She can basically be understood as the ceiling below those abstract conceptual entities. Now, even facing the Zerg Emperor of the Annihilation Zerg, she is not inferior in the slightest.
With a boom, the terrifying energy fluctuations erupting from the clash between the Zerg Emperor and Galacta instantly blew away many high-level Zerg. The Earth's Superheroes were shielded from this aftermath by defensive heroes like Hulk and Colossus.
At this moment, Professor X closed his eyes, pressed one hand to his forehead, and began to unleash his psychic power.
How strong is Professor X's psychic power? If a normal person asks him, he will tell you his psychic power can cover a small town. If someone from the X-Men asks him, he will tell you his psychic power can cover a city.
If you captured Phoenix and Cyclops and then went to ask Professor X, he might reluctantly say his psychic power could cover the United States. If you held a knife to the throat of his good friend Magneto, he might say his psychic power could cover the entire globe.
But what about in reality? After the secondary development by Apocalypse, Professor X's psychic power can even reach Pluto!
And the Zerg's biggest weakness happens to be psychic power! Although relying on the hive mind mode, the Zerg can aggregate their psychic power into one, but this aggregated psychic power, as one can imagine, must be riddled with holes and full of flaws.
Because of the existence of the Zerg collective will, Professor X had no way to directly control these bugs, but disrupting them was an easy task. The Zerg Royal Guards, originally united as one, suddenly began to kill each other under Professor X's psychic power. Only a few hundred high-level Zerg relied on their self-awareness and did not fall into the abyss.
Of course, although these Zerg started killing each other, their main target remained the group of Superheroes in front of them; it was just that their attacks had become very chaotic.
However, this had already reduced the pressure from the Zerg swarm by seventy or eighty percent, and the Superheroes were no longer without the strength to fight back.
In reality, with the Zerg Emperor present, wanting to disrupt the Zerg swarm was not such an easy task. It was only because the Zerg Emperor was completely entangled by Galacta, and with his attention divided, Professor X found the opportunity to disrupt the entire swarm.
But even with Professor X sharing most of the pressure, and Galacta taking on the strongest, the number of these bugs was simply too high!
The Zerg that can fight in outer space, and are the most elite group among them, are almost all equivalent to the initial stage of Thor. With so many of them attacking together, even if they were still fighting among themselves, they still beat the Earth's Superheroes until they were dizzy and disoriented.
At the critical moment, Phoenix and Wanda stepped up. Both of them had been strengthened by Mr. M and Apocalypse, and their strength had greatly increased.
Then there was Hulk, who had picked up the true adamantium axe again. Hulk, who becomes stronger the more he fights and gets angry, fears this kind of siege and war of attrition the least. The longer the battle lasts, the more his combat power increases. After a short while, he had slashed and knocked down more than a dozen powerful bugs.
It was precisely by relying on Chaos Magic, the Phoenix Force, and the angry Hulk that the group was able to withstand the Zerg's siege.
Of course, this was also thanks to the fact that the Superheroes who came this time were all first-rate in terms of combat power. For example, Cyclops's laser superpower. Usually, when fighting on Earth, he is timid and afraid of causing huge destruction if he is not careful. Now, facing the bugs, he doesn't need to worry. A pair of laser eyes sweeping crazily can take out many bugs with insufficient strength, and even the entire interior of the Zerg hive has suffered serious damage.
Take Storm, for example. The airflow, energy, and particle radiation inside the Zerg spaceship were all transformed by her into a terrifying energy Storm, which blew towards the opposite side. The range was so large that it almost covered the entire opposite battlefield. Although the lethality to these powerful super bugs was not too strong, it was equivalent to casting a combat power weakening aura on all the bugs.
In addition, there is Juggernaut, who has some problems with his brain. To some extent, this guy, like Wanda and Jean Grey, is a favored being of some kind of multiverse-level power. There is no such thing as running out of energy for him. And as a warrior, his physical fitness is much stronger than Wanda and Jean Grey. He has no problem charging on the battlefield for days and nights.
The only problem is that this guy can't fly, and bumping around can only deal with some ground units.
And just when things were almost in a mess here, Dr. Pym, who had shrunk his body, had already secretly run past the battlefield.
Dr. Pym is already sixty or seventy years old. Even though his physical fitness is still quite good because of the pym particles, his original combat power has definitely declined significantly.
But because he soaked in Galactus's body for more than a year and absorbed a large amount of primordial Cosmic Energy, although his energy level is not as high as a genuine herald of Galactus, he can be considered to have undergone a complete transformation. Based on the energy in his body alone, he is no worse than an ordinary planetary deity.
