Manhattan.
The battle had reached a fever pitch.
Captain America hurled his Vibranium shield like a deadly boomerang, instantly severing the necks of three Chitauri soldiers, but more enemies swarmed him from all directions, surrounding him.
High in the sky, Iron Man's energy had dropped to the ten percent warning line, his armor covered in scratches and dents.
He had just dodged an energy blast and before he could catch his breath, several Chitauri flyers, like sharks smelling blood, pounced on him again.
The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Avengers.
The portal, hanging above Stark Tower, was like an unhealing wound, continuously pouring death and destruction into the city.
Just as a Leviathan crashed into half a building, opening its gaping maw, about to swallow a whole street of survivors along with their shelters, a critical moment—
A shadow, like a meteor from outer space, whistled down!
"Boom—!!!"
The massive shadow, in an utterly savage manner, slammed directly onto the spine of that Leviathan.
The terrifying impact caused the colossal body, comparable to a blue whale, to suddenly sink, its indestructible bio-armor instantly cracking and denting, emitting a deafening shriek.
Everyone on the street was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The dust settled.
A grotesque and terrifying figure slowly rose from the Leviathan's back.
He was taller than Hulk.
His entire body's muscles were a sickly dark green, with bones piercing through his skin, forming natural bone armor and spikes.
A pair of gray eyes burned with cold and pure battle intent.
Abomination!
Emil Blonsky!
"Fury!"
Captain America roared into his comms immediately, "What in the World are you doing?! Why is Abomination here?!"
Nick Fury, back on the Helicarrier, watched the familiar yet dangerous figure on the screen with a blank expression, not answering.
He just felt his head ache a little.
Just then, on the rooftop of a building not far away, a green figure abruptly stopped tearing apart enemies.
Hulk turned around, his eyes, filled with endless rage, instantly locked onto Abomination.
It was an instinctive, deep-seated hatred.
"Roar...!"
A roar, containing boundless Fury, erupted from the depths of Hulk's throat, the sound waves even shattering the glass of surrounding buildings.
Abomination merely glanced at him.
His eyes held a hint of disdain and mockery, as if looking at an unreasonable child.
His current target was not this green idiot.
He was a "professional" hired hand.
He lowered his head, looking at the Leviathan still struggling beneath his feet.
His massive hands, like two iron clamps, precisely gripped two of the thickest armor plates on the beast's spine.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a low growl, Blonsky's arm muscles suddenly swelled, veins bulging like coiling dragons.
"Screech—!!!"
Amidst the hair-raising tearing sound, that bio-armor, strong enough to withstand cannon fire, was forcibly ripped from its flesh!
Dark green blood gushed out like a waterfall!
And that wasn't all!
Abomination used the huge armor plate as a battle-axe, brutally hacking into the Leviathan's exposed flesh, then, in an extremely efficient and cruel manner, began to... disassemble this behemoth.
Every part he attacked precisely avoided the hardest bones, directly destroying its internal nerve centers and energy core.
This was not a battle at all!
This was a calm, efficient slaughter!
This scene sent a chill down the spine of everyone who witnessed it.
Iron Man watched from mid-air, dumbfounded, as Jarvis frantically analyzed Abomination's movements.
"Sir, his attack pattern... is highly tactical. He is causing the most fatal damage with the least amount of expenditure."
Hulk's rage reached its peak upon seeing this scene.
This ugly guy dared to ignore him!
He dared to steal his prey right in front of him!
Unforgivable!
Hulk let out an even more ferocious roar, turning to pounce on another rampaging Leviathan.
He wanted to prove who was the strongest here!
Thus, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded on the entire Manhattan battlefield.
Two sworn enemies, who should have been locked in a fight to the death, were now engaged in a brutal competition.
One was calm and efficient, every move lethal.
The other was wild and brutal, every punch impactful.
With the portal as their center, they launched a destructive, reverse-push against the Chitauri ground forces from two directions!
On the Helicarrier.
Maria Hill looked at the two rapidly expanding green safe zones on the tactical screen and said to Fury with a complex expression, "Director... they... seem to really be clearing the area."
Fury did not speak.
He knew that New York was saved.
But S.H.I.E.L.D., and even the future of the entire World, had been cast into an even darker and more dangerous shadow because of his deal with the devil today.
Inside the medical laboratory, William leaned back in a comfortable chair, leisurely watching the "live broadcast" on the screen.
"Lei Ling, are all the data recorded?"
"Re... recorded, Boss."
Lei Ling looked at the bloody scene on the screen, her small face a little pale.
"Very good."
William nodded in satisfaction.
"Compile a detailed bill for Abomination's appearance fee, equipment damage fee, mental distress fee, and fifty percent hazardous environment work subsidy. Send it to Director Fury as soon as the battle ends."
He watched Abomination's heroic posture on the screen, punching a Chitauri flyer out of the sky, a satisfied smile of a businessman seeing a quality asset continuously appreciate curving his lips.
This deal was a huge profit.
