["We have to get back up there!" Captain America called out as they emerged from the crashed Quinjet.]
[But they stopped moving almost immediately as a terrifying, otherworldly sound echoed from directly above them.]
[All three Avengers looked up in horror to see a massive creature emerging from the wormhole - a Chitauri Leviathan, the largest and most devastating weapon in their arsenal.]
[Its body was enormous, resembling a living battleship more than any earthly creature. The serpentine form stretched for what appeared to be hundreds of meters, far longer than any terrestrial animal could possibly grow.]
[The creature possessed a distinctly streamlined shape optimized for atmospheric flight. Its entire body was covered in overlapping layers of hard, lustrous black scales that appeared almost metallic. These scales interlocked seamlessly, creating what looked like impenetrable natural armor that reflected light with an ominous sheen, suggesting incredible defensive capabilities.]
[The Leviathan's head was broad and flattened, dominated by a pair of massive compound eyes that glowed with an eerie green luminescence. The alien intelligence behind those eyes radiated malevolence and an utterly inhuman consciousness.]
[Its mouth was a gaping maw filled with rows of razor-sharp fangs. These teeth were serrated and blade-like, clearly capable of shearing through steel and concrete with equal ease.]
[When fully extended, the creature's wings spanned what had to be at least fifty meters. The wing membranes were covered with intricate vein-like patterns that pulsed with energy, resembling some form of alien circuitry. As the wings beat, they emanated a faint blue glow that seemed to provide supernatural lift and propulsion.]
[The violent beating of those massive wings created thunderous roars that rolled across Manhattan like an earthquake, bringing a crushing sense of psychological oppression to everyone on the ground below. Even seasoned warriors like Captain America, Natasha, and Hawkeye were momentarily stunned by the sheer scale of the threat.]
[As the Leviathan passed over a small church, the acoustic pressure from its wing beats shattered a decorative stone sculpture like it was made of clay. The massive creature's undulating body swept directly over the heads of the three Avengers, and dozens of Chitauri warriors began dropping from compartments along its flanks.]
[The realization hit them immediately - this wasn't just a monster, it was also a massive troop transport vehicle.]
[The disembarking Chitauri immediately began scaling the exterior walls of surrounding buildings, smashing through windows and doors to begin systematic slaughter of the civilians trapped inside.]
[Looking up at the sky now filled with enemies, Captain America had clearly never witnessed destruction on this scale: "Stark! Are you seeing this?"]
["I see it, but I'm having trouble believing it!" Tony replied as he watched the Leviathan demonstrate agility that seemed impossible for something so massive. Despite its enormous size, it was moving through the air at incredible speed, using its huge wings to navigate between Manhattan's skyscrapers with surprising grace.]
["Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?"]
["Banner!" Captain America suddenly remembered that the Hulk had been missing for some time.]
["Just keep me posted!" Tony didn't have time for extensive communication and immediately switched to his AI after cutting the comm link.]
["JARVIS! I need you to find me a weakness on this thing!"]
[At that moment, he was flying in formation parallel to the Leviathan, trying to analyze its structure and capabilities.]
"Oh my God! This is absolutely terrifying!" Rose was completely overwhelmed by the sight.
"Yeah! This is far more frightening than any of those corpses we saw in the previous videos!" Dr. Otto's expression was extremely grave.
"How could anyone possibly defeat something like that? With our fists? No way! That's completely unrealistic!" 1st Generation Spider-Man shook his head in disbelief. It was obvious that conventional physical attacks would be useless against such a colossal creature.
"There's no choice but to use heavy ordnance! No wonder the authorities in Tony Stark's timeline wanted to use nuclear weapons to level all of New York. These monsters are beyond terrifying!"
1st Generation Harry also looked deeply troubled. Although Osborn Industries was a major military contractor, most of the weapons they developed would probably be ineffective against such a massive threat.
"I think we'd need high-penetration munitions. That shell looks incredibly durable!" Tony frowned and immediately instructed JARVIS to begin recording all available data on the Leviathan.
"How does something that size even stay airborne? It defies physics!" Banner was fascinated by how such an enormous entity could overcome gravitational forces.
"I have no idea! But I suspect it has something to do with that blue energy we can see pulsing through its wing membranes!" Tony shrugged with scientific curiosity despite the dire circumstances.
[Meanwhile, Thor glared at Loki with mounting fury: "Look at this! Look around you! Do you think this madness ends with your rule?"]
[Loki's expression faltered slightly as he surveyed the destruction: "It's too late! It's too late to stop it now!"]
["No! We can do this! We can stop it together!" Thor thought he might still have a chance to reach his brother's conscience.]
[Without warning, Loki suddenly drove a curved dagger deep into Thor's side, just below his ribs.]
[Thor looked at Loki with complete shock and betrayal as Mjolnir slipped from his grasp and clattered to the deck.]
[A single tear rolled down Loki's cheek, though he masked his emotion quickly: "Sentiment."]
[Thor's shock immediately transformed into rage. He lunged forward, grabbed Loki bodily, and drove him to the ground with tremendous force. He then lifted his brother and hurled him across the platform.]
[Loki landed hard and lay prone on the deck, his Mind Scepter skittering away from his reach. Suddenly, he rolled toward the platform's edge and allowed himself to fall, timing his descent perfectly as a Chitauri assault craft swooped by to collect him.]
[Thor pulled the bloody blade from his wound, threw it aside in disgust, and let out a deep sigh of grief and frustration.]
[Back on street level, Captain America rejoined Hawkeye and Natasha, taking cover behind an overturned taxi cab.]
["We've got civilians trapped in there!" Hawkeye was pointing toward a damaged building when he was interrupted.]
[Captain America suddenly spotted a familiar figure streaking overhead: "There! It's Loki!"]
[At that moment, Loki was piloting a captured Chitauri assault craft while the alien warriors behind him continued their systematic bombardment of civilians and vehicles throughout the street.]
[The NYPD officers were attempting to return fire, but faced with the overwhelming firepower and advanced technology of their enemies, they were completely outmatched and could only retreat in panic.]
[Captain America surveyed the terrified civilians running for their lives: "We've got to get these people to safety!"]
[But in the next instant, an energy blast shattered the storefront window beside him. A squad of Chitauri warriors had flanked their position and were advancing from behind.]
[Natasha immediately raised both her pistols and began returning fire while Hawkeye took cover behind the overturned taxi on the opposite side of their position.]
["We've got this! You go!" Natasha called out while maintaining suppressive fire.]
[Captain America looked back at both of them: "You think you can hold them?"]
[Hawkeye spun around and replied with characteristic confidence: "Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure!"]
[He immediately stood up and fired a specialized arrow at the closest Chitauri warrior. The projectile exploded on impact, sending razor-sharp fragments into two nearby enemies and causing them to cry out in pain.]
[Captain America seized the opportunity to break from cover while Natasha provided covering fire for his movement.]
[He leaped from the overpass onto a city bus below, but several energy blasts struck the vehicle just moments before his landing, though fortunately none found their mark.]
[Captain America rolled forward upon impact and continued running, jumping onto a smaller car in front of the bus. The moment his feet touched the vehicle, the bus behind him exploded in a massive fireball.]
[The car flipped over from the concussion, but Captain America used the momentum to perform another forward roll and continued running after landing on his feet.]
[Natasha maintained covering fire with both weapons while Hawkeye focused on rescuing civilians who were still trapped in damaged vehicles.]
[After ensuring all the civilians had escaped to safety, he returned to Natasha's position and helped her eliminate the remaining enemies in their sector.]
