The core of the Hulk is the Arc Reactor, which can emit a shield, ensuring it can close enough distance in a siege battle.
However, now these Big Claws of the Arachnid are overwhelming, their firepower even fiercer than heavy machine guns, and their sharp Claws are constantly stomping, causing the shield's power to drain at an incredible rate.
Moreover, to ensure damage is dealt, the Hulk also needs to power the impact pile, consuming more than three times the usual electricity.
Even if Tony supported the Hulk's energy by physically connecting Stark Tower's giant Arc Reactor.
However, with the Hulk operating at such high efficiency, the machine suffered overload damage, its internal parts were collapsing, and the circuit damage from consumption and power supply made the Hulk hot and smoking.
The Annihilator's heavy machine guns, the Hulk's impact pile, and the three-piece set of Freezers, Burners, and Floaters should have caused severe damage to the Dominator's Zerg.
But the appearance of the Arachnid now caught Tony off guard.
Whenever Tony fought someone, he would definitely develop new Mark armor next time. Just like Batman, as long as he fought once, Batman would surely come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy the second time.
However, Tony's specialized mechanical army was not suitable for fighting the Arachnid. His Armory and factory were running non-stop, manufacturing more mechanical armies, and preparing to evacuate Manhattan, this place of trouble.
The Hulk collapsed, and the Annihilators on the steel platform lost their outpost, but they could only continue to strafe, following Jarvis's control to buy Death at Stark Tower a little more time.
Lin Fan sat inside the Overlord, and Stark Tower became a shield against the Arachnid's attack, which he had never expected, as it was beyond his prediction.
Originally, Lin Fan had always considered Tony as a vanguard against the Chitauri.
Now, Tony had become a casualty of the Arachnid.
Millions of Big Claws charged, layer upon layer, anyone caught in it would die without a burial place, even if Tony's mechanical army had no fear and wouldn't run.
But Tony, facing such a predicament, could only flee.
At this moment, some heavy armored units emerged from Stark Tower, with modified miniature missile nests on their shoulders; as the covers opened, a surging stream of Rocket meteors appeared.
Boom boom boom...
These Dispersers were Tony's trump card; besides the Annihilators, these Dispersers were the most numerous, and miniature missiles crashed into the Arachnid in overwhelming numbers.
The surging Zerg Swarm was cut off by Tony's trump card, tens of thousands of Big Claws were blown to pieces, but immediately more Big Claws screamed and filled in.
Standing on the top floor of Stark Tower, the streets all around were filled with these terrifying Arachnid Big Claws.
At this time, this advance force of the Arachnid had already lost over 100,000, which also provoked their leaders to become fiercer, and the momentum of the Big Claws' charge almost immediately overwhelmed all of Tony's mechanical armies.
The leaders among the Big Claws were higher-evolved forms, originally specifically for guarding the Queen; their bodies were larger, and besides gray, they also had yellow stripes.
The name of these higher-evolved forms was: Warrior.
These Warriors were elites chosen from a hundred warriors.
Possessing third-order physical strength and second-order Mental Energy, they served as leaders of this million-strong Zerg Swarm, distributed among them.
The Warriors' roar made the Big Claws extreme, surrounding Stark Tower and constantly moving upward, intending to raze it to the ground.
Tony didn't expect the change to come so suddenly; he immediately abandoned all facilities and initiated the Sky Carrier's launch, rapidly ascending to escape.
This Sky Carrier was modified by Tony at Fury Nick's request, equipped with a variable-speed engine turbine that eliminated long warm-up times, allowing for rapid ascent and avoiding the trouble of concentrated ground fire.
Stark Tower rapidly collapsed, the Arachnid were unstoppable, continuing to spread to the next location, which was Lin Fan's Third Branch Marine Corps.
With Tony's tens of thousands of mechanical armies defending, it only lasted two or three hours before the Arachnid flattened them, forcing an aerial evacuation.
And the Arachnid did not suffer excessive Death. At this time, there were still over 800,000.
However, while Tony was blocking the Arachnid, Lin Fan dug a tunnel two thousand meters deep underground, and at the end of the tunnel was the Safe Green Zone.
Lin Fan wanted to lure the Arachnid onto Picasso Bridge.
But the Arachnid were not fools; they wouldn't obediently enter a tunnel, so Lin Fan still needed to strategize.
Lin Fan captured several Warriors using traps.
Through the Blacklight Virus, Lin Fan devoured and absorbed, then disguised and transformed, Incarnation into a Warrior among the Arachnid.
Moreover, because Lin Fan devoured several Warriors, his body size was already close to a higher-level Butcher, but those Warriors among the Arachnid would definitely oppose him.
After all, they were advancing according to the Queen's mission, and if a companion proposed a complex mission, it would deviate from the Queen's mission.
Lin Fan roared among several hundred of the strongest Arachnid Warriors; those Warriors, constrained by Lin Fan's physique and strength, could only calm down and communicate with simple, direct consciousness.
"The Queen's mission cannot be defied."
"Cannot change the mission."
"Obey the Queen's agreement."
"Continue according to the original plan."
Seeing these stubborn blockheads, Lin Fan immediately clamped a Warrior with his Big Claws, bit down hard, crunch crunch, and this strong Warrior was killed by Lin Fan.
"Obey... change course... immediately."
Although Lin Fan was disguised and transformed, this only bluffed those Arachnid Big Claws into not attacking him, but if the Warriors attacked en masse, he would surely have to flee, making the subsequent plan even harder to complete.
With over 800,000 Big Claws, Lin Fan's Zerg forces would certainly suffer heavy casualties; he had to reduce their numbers and gather all available forces to fight the Arachnid.
However, this almost primitive and clumsy method of fierce fighting did work; those Warriors became afraid.
"Submit, Superior... submit."
"Yes, sir... change the advance target."
"Tunnel... obey... the strong."
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the Arachnid began to surge into the tunnel, leading to Picasso Bridge.
