A pale blue compression ray shot out.
Luca already understood what method the Ancient One had asked Wong to convey for closing the Hell Gate.
After all, the 'fusion rift' created by the collision between the Hell Gate on the roof of his New York building and the Hextech Dimension still couldn't be closed.
Sealing, transferring, destroying—various methods couldn't change the state of the fusion rift itself, and it was even less possible for demons to cross through such a thing.
However...
Just as Luca felt he had grasped the Ancient One's idea, the beam shot from the [Dehydration Gun] on the Gundam's forehead passed straight through the Hell Gate in front of him the moment it made contact, without stopping at all.
A moment later, a demon with a compressed blue cube on its forehead even rushed out of this Hell Gate.
"Huh? This..."
Crushing the bewildered little demon that just ran out, he then laboriously picked up the energy cube dropped on the convenience store roof with the mecha's large hand.
Looking at the cube in his hand, then at the still intact Hell Gate.
"Uh, right, compression rays can't hit intangible things!"
Now, Luca, who was confident just a moment ago, was dumbfounded.
In fact, this characteristic had always existed for the [Dehydration Gun].
Things like projections, flames, energy substances, and even most smoke, the [Dehydration Gun] actually couldn't hit and compress them.
And this judgment was rather metaphysical. It wasn't judged by object density or energy level, but more like a cognitive 'intangible substance.'
Otherwise, the [Dehydration Gun] couldn't be used in an air environment at all; the first things to be hit and compressed would be molecules or dust in the air.
Actually, similar vague cognitive judgments were not uncommon on the [Dehydration Gun] item.
For example, a backpack full of books would be judged as a whole, not just compressing the backpack alone. A big tree planted in the ground would be judged as an individual, not disappearing with the entire Earth.
At this moment, Luca also recalled that the reason for the dimensional collision fusion last time due to the compression ray...
Was because, as the opener of the Hell Gate, the Earth side had a black stone tablet he made himself as a base.
Because the [Dehydration Gun] hit the base itself, it led to the dimensional collision.
"Does this mean we have to go deep into Hell and hit their portal base?"
However, just as this thought arose in Luca's mind, Tony Stark's voice came through the communication channel.
"Kid, you forgot something!"
As he spoke, Tony, piloting the Veronica armor, whizzed past the Gundam.
More importantly, Luca could clearly see from the Gundam's secondary sensor lens on the left that the Veronica flying in the air was actually carrying a large crimson container on its shoulder!
Thud~
A loud noise.
Tony, who had flown directly above the Hell Gate, threw the container in his hand fiercely, making it fit straight over the Hell Gate rift perfectly.
Without any hesitation, Luca immediately understood Tony's idea, and a flash of joy crossed his face.
Without a word, he pressed the fire button again.
Zzt~
Another compression ray shot out rapidly.
Unlike last time where the blue ray passed directly through the Hell Gate to the other side.
This time, the container that was hit was instantly wrapped in blue light, shrinking inward, turning into an energy cube along with the Hell Gate and falling to the ground.
Then, just like last time, the Hextech Dimension energy in the cube collided with the Hell Dimension energy.
Immediately after, with a boom, red and blue flames exploded, pushing the Veronica armor aside by two steps.
Only an energy rift interwoven with red and blue, surrounded by some iron pieces and demon limbs, remained on the spot.
It seemed like a new demon wanted to rush out just now, but it didn't seem to affect the compression.
Thinking about the last scene he saw, Luca didn't forget to control the Gundam to give Tony a thumbs up.
"Tony, you're something~"
"You kid, so unskilled with your own invention!"
Although the tone sounded like complaining, Luca could clearly hear that Tony's previous low mood had improved because this Hell Gate was destroyed.
As he spoke, he controlled the Veronica mecha to ascend and bump fists with the Gundam's large hand.
However...
Just then, Rhodes, who was pinned down by a flying demon, smashed into the ground in front of the two with a bang.
Holding the demon's head with one hand and firing several repulsor blasts with the other palm, he finally blasted this demon to death.
Rhodes, covered in demon mincemeat, looked at the two bumping fists and lay flat helplessly.
"Hey! You two, this is a battlefield! Can't we bond after it's over?!"
Seeing this scene, Luca and Tony awkwardly withdrew their fists.
Tony flew directly to Rhodes' side, and while helping him up again, he didn't forget to give him a sneaky punch too.
At the same time, Steve and the other 'ground troops' who arrived later also saw the red and blue rift in front of them and looked at Luca expectantly, asking.
"Is this... closed?"
"That's right!"
Hearing Luca's decisive answer, everyone felt relieved.
Although this was just '1/129,' seeing the hope of completely closing all Hell Gates was much better than watching New York turn into a permanent battlefield in despair.
"Cap, we need to split up now. There are too many Hell Gates. Closing them one by one, I don't know how many more demons will pour out!"
"But isn't your Dehydration Gun only a single finished product due to special materials?"
Hearing Luca's words, Tony asked hesitantly.
"No need to worry!"
Before Tony could finish, he saw one of Luca's bodyguard mechas suddenly leave the formation and fly in front of a demon.
Immediately after, the bodyguard mecha raised its arm. A small inky black portal appeared simultaneously in front of its arm and at the muzzle of the [Dehydration Gun] on the Gundam's head.
The compression ray shot from the Gundam's head, passed directly through the portal, hit the demon, and turned it into an energy cube.
"These mechas all have precise positioning devices and can assist in opening long-distance portals. I will send them to split up and act with you later!"
Luca naturally knew about there being only one [Dehydration Gun]. With the mechas equipped with long-distance positioning assisting in opening portals, each of these mechas could be regarded as a remote firing window.
In fact, Spot being able to stay in Sokovia and open portals remotely and accurately was mostly thanks to similar devices.
And next, what the Avengers needed to do was clear the demons near each Hell Gate, find a suitable 'box' to cover the spatial rift, and finally contact Luca to fire the compression ray and destroy the Hell Gate.
"So, everyone! Operation start!"
"Roar——"
