Outer space, a brilliant fireworks display erupted once more! Malekith could never have expected that he would die so easily.
The former Dark King didn't even know what he had run into before his death. A simple "bug" from Midgard had managed to deal such massive damage to him.
In space, a red and gold shadow fell from the cosmos toward the ground.
"Entering the middle layer, armor damage is 60%! Armor damage is 60%!"
"Sir? Sir!" a mechanical voice echoed inside the armor, but there was no reply.
"Entering the stratosphere! Armor damage is 72%!"
"Entering the troposphere, armor damage will increase by 8%!"
There was still no sound from Tony. Everything around him seemed bleak. The Iron Armor, like a shooting star, fell toward the ground at an incredible speed.
The Aftermath on Earth
On Earth, although Malekith had been killed, the energy from the Casket of Ancient Winters would still take months to be disintegrated by the sun. Of course, if the superhero of the 'Mid-country' could step up, or if the Ancient One finally used the energy of the Infinity Gems to save these humans from the Fifth Ice Age, then Earth could recover ahead of schedule.
"Current armor damage is 90%, and the current falling speed is too fast. Estimated to hit the ground in one minute!"
"Starting level one armor protection!"
"Administering adrenaline shot now!"
"Engaging hydraulic oxygen and preparing for forced awakening!"
Under the gorgeous fireworks in the sky, a figure rapidly descended toward the ground.
"Boom!!"
With a loud crash, a huge hole was blown into the side of a building more than 70 meters tall.
"Ninety-nine percent armor damage!"
Crack! Crack! The mask opened, revealing a pale face. When the spacesuit hit the ground, Tony actually woke up. The reason J.A.R.V.I.S had to yell so many times without a response was that Tony had already suffered a major mental blow.
"Is the universe really that powerful?" Lying in the snow, Tony felt a chill run through his body. The armor was no longer useful. Tony usually salvaged scrapped armor to use as a prototype for new ones, but this time, he felt like just melting it all down.
"J.A.R.V.I.S, did you capture the data from earlier?"
"I did, sir!"
"Play it for me!"
As early as when the endless spaceships appeared, Tony had planned to film his battle and show off to other non-flying superheroes after returning to Earth.
But now, a segment of the day was projected into the snowy world in front of his eyes. The endless, dark universe. The shining red planet in the distance was the Earth's only fixed star, the sun. And as the picture was adjusted, a shadow instantly appeared before his eyes.
"This is the part. Slow it down and play it!"
Following Tony's instructions, J.A.R.V.I.S repeatedly adjusted the video speed, finally setting it to the lowest possible limit. Finally, the outline of that shadow appeared.
"It's him?" Tony's voice was hoarse. Wasn't this the owner of the gallery, the current owner of Hades City, Lord Hades, King of the Underworld?
Tony's face was a little numb, half-frozen by the cold, but the other half was struck with fear by the shadow that had been slowed down a thousand times. He had fought for a long time, but after this shadow appeared, the alien spaceship exploded. He didn't even see how he did it!
"Is it true that human beings cannot reach this level?"
In this era where the poor rely on mutation and the rich rely on technology, Tony had led the development of that technology. However, no matter how powerful a superhero was, they still couldn't resist any of Aaron's Underworld fighters. Unless, it was by mutation. In the files of S.H.I.E.L.D., there was a woman named Carol. There was a strong record of her single-handedly destroying a fleet. This woman had achieved such feats by relying on mutation.
In the distance, the sound of a helicopter approached. The members of the Avengers team had found Tony Stark, who had landed after the battle. In the snow, Tony watched the helicopter land with a cold face. With the help of his friends, he took off the cumbersome armor.
"Tony, congratulations! You defeated the enemy and became a hero who saved the world!" Banner happily patted Tony on the shoulder.
But Tony couldn't smile. This time, Tony had truly lost. Not to another person, but to a real god.
Half an hour later, Tony and the Avengers returned to the Avengers Tower. After everything was settled, Tony arrived with a glass of red wine.
"Congratulations, Stark!" This time, even Captain America couldn't help but laugh. Tony had flown into the sky with his armor and weapons alone, and had destroyed the entire alien fleet without the satellites even detecting it. This event was picked up and hyped by the United States, announcing the existence of the Avengers to the whole world. The Avengers, who had been guarding Earth in the shadows, had finally come into the light.
"Don't congratulate me," Tony said, pouring himself a glass of red wine and sitting down. He then told everyone what he had seen.
Half an hour later… Everyone snapped out of Tony's narration.
"What! You said that one person completely destroyed those fleets?" No one had ever seen Aaron in action, not even Banner or Natasha Romanoff. When he killed Minister Pierce, that man had killed him with just his eyes!
"He didn't make a move..." He didn't make a move, but he turned everything in front of him into nothingness. Was this the power of a god? No one would forget the name Hades. When the angels came, Hades had led the soldiers from the center of the Earth to Heaven. There were still people in this world who believed in God, but God no longer existed.
"This is the power of a god..." Captain America clenched his fists, thinking about something in his heart. He gritted his teeth and drank the red wine in his hand.
