As for the other side, Tony Stark and Coulson were truly dumbfounded.
"No, we all agreed to be brothers, but then you suddenly transformed into the King of the Gods, Lord of the Nine Realms?"
Chapter 76: The Planet Destroyer! Sounding the Horn of Doom!
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did Aaron become the King of the Gods after two days away?"
"Is today some kind of huge anime convention?"
Tony Stark looked at Coulson, who also appeared utterly bewildered.
He seemed to be saying something.
"Sir, it's bad! Aaron has become the King of Asgard."
"What?!"
At the Triskelion, Nick Fury sat up straight, his mind filled with questions upon hearing Coulson's words.
"No, I was just thinking about it, but you actually dared to do it?"
"You didn't conquer New York in a week; instead, you went and conquered Asgard."
"Good heavens, so you look down on America, and on Earth!"
"Motherfucker!"
"That's the right flavor!" Coulson thought to himself. "Sir, what should we do now?"
"The legendary Odin, and Thor and Loki, are all here, along with about a thousand Asgardian warriors?"
"If a fight breaks out, I'm worried about New York…"
"Evacuate New York immediately!"
Nick Fury immediately notified Agent Hill.
"What about the military? Tell them to hurry and lend a hand!"
"Uh, sir."
"They're already here…"
Coulson watched the fighter jets and armed helicopters rapidly approaching from a distance,
completely surrounding the area.
He also heard the roar of armored vehicles and tanks.
A small Osborn Corporation had suddenly brought together multiple forces.
The military, S.H.I.E.L.D., Asgardians, and aliens had all arrived!
"Master?"
Mantis looked at the suddenly changing situation, somewhat lost and helpless.
Ego remained calm.
No matter how many humans there were, he didn't care,
only Aaron and Odin.
"No matter what, I must take you with me!"
Ego made up his mind.
Even if… it was just to go back and be a battery.
He had to take Aaron with him!
Ego didn't understand why Aaron possessed the same Celestial power as himself. Could it be that he had dealt with the Celestial Seed?
Theoretically, the Celestial Flower he left behind did contain his genetic makeup and abilities.
That was another one of his avatars, another him.
He just couldn't comprehend how Aaron had managed it.
This was very unscientific!
And not theological either!
Hearing this, Aaron also grew somewhat annoyed.
"Your child is named Peter Jason Quill. Even if you go and claim Jason as your son, don't come looking for me!"
"If you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Aaron vanished instantly,
reappearing behind Ego.
The latter's expression tightened, and he quickly turned, creating a solid energy shield.
Considering this was his own company, Aaron had already held back ninety-nine percent of his power, yet he still easily broke through Ego's makeshift shield, kicking him towards Odin's direction.
Odin reacted equally quickly, raising Gungnir and transforming into a streak of starlight.
Ego tried his best to control his body and dodge, but facing the extremely experienced Odin, his left arm was still torn off.
"Very well, you have angered a Celestial!"
"Since you're unwilling to come with me, I'll just have to bind you and take you!"
Ego's benevolent smile vanished, and a pale blue light surged from his wound. His matter-reconstruction ability quickly restored his missing limb.
"Do you think this is a game? You still have time to babble!"
Aaron's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Ego's stern face suddenly froze, a violent pain erupting in his chest. Then, a hand broke through his chest, holding a beating heart.
He stared in astonishment at his own heart, then at the gradually dissipating Aaron in front of him.
"An illusionary clone?"
"Heh, such a weak god!"
With a slight squeeze from Aaron, the heart burst with a bang.
Then, with another kick, Ego's mangled body was sent flying hundreds of meters, crashing down and demolishing a building with a loud thud!
Coulson's eyelids twitched. That building… was one purchased by S.H.I.E.L.D. to serve as a secret base for monitoring Osborn.
So, since it's not your building, you don't care at all and just wreak havoc?
"Excuse me, whose building was that? My secretary will contact them directly later."
Aaron smiled at Coulson.
The latter's mouth twitched. "No need, perhaps… you can discuss the repair issues directly with me."
You absolutely did that on purpose!
But what could Coulson do?
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tactics were useless in front of Aaron!
He could only force a smile in response.
"You guys are so unfair, it's outrageous!"
Through the swirling smoke, Ego emerged, dragging a body that was only half intact.
Tony and Coulson watched in shock. "Are you an unkillable cockroach?"
The building was destroyed, and you're still alive?
As a Celestial, even if he was just an avatar, Ego was not so easily killed.
The injuries he sustained were all from Aaron's claw and kick.
The materials on Earth were simply incapable of causing him effective damage.
Ego's fury had reached his chest; he wanted to let these ignorant gods know the power of a Celestial!
Whoosh—
Ego grunted, turning his head to look at Loki, who had appeared at some unknown time, holding a dagger that had just stabbed his kidney and liver.
"You're still not dead?"
Loki was greatly shocked.
Ego was enraged, truly enraged!
Earthlings were too unreasonable!
Not only was it a group attack, but they pulled the same trick twice, deceiving him with illusions!
"I am a Celestial!!"
Pale blue lightning flashed, and a brilliant light appeared in Ego's hand.
Loki's expression changed drastically. Before the lightning struck, Aaron waved his hand, and Loki suddenly appeared beside Thor, causing Ego's lightning to miss its target.
"You… all deserve to die!"
Ego descended into a berserker rage, his mental state precarious.
He came here with sincerity, but in return, he had his heart dug out, his liver removed, and his kidney stabbed!
Even as a Celestial avatar, he couldn't endure such torment.
However, Aaron was not one to wait for the boss to go berserk.
He flew directly into the sky,
his hands transforming into machine guns, a continuous stream of particle beams relentlessly bombarding Ego's body.
Each beam of light tore apart a portion of his body.
One after another,
after several body reorganizations, his recovery speed greatly decreased, no longer able to keep up with the rate of destruction.
"Bastard!"
"I'll kill you!"
Ego was slowly annihilated amidst his impotent rage!
Until his last mouth was erased, the world finally fell silent.
However… Coulson looked at his own building, which had been razed to the ground,
and then met Aaron's questioning gaze.
He forced a smile: "Perfect, we don't need to consider demolition anymore; we can start rebuilding directly."
What a calamity!!
Aaron nodded, satisfied. "I'll have Norman connect with you. What's yours, I won't shortchange you a single cent!"
Is it a question of being shortchanged? Does S.H.I.E.L.D. lack that money?
This is a matter of pride!!
With Ego dead, the Golden Palace Guards did not disarm.
Mantis was surrounded, looking in panic at the annihilated Ego and the demonic Aaron.
She didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
Facing a group of fierce-looking men, Mantis trembled, completely at a loss as to what to do.
