Isabella P.O.V.

Everything that's happening, and what I'm seeing right now is really amazing. I think this is the word that best describes...

I can't help but feel a morbid fascination with this disaster that struck this city.

At the moment, I'm watching the battle unfold through the various cameras around the city.

Master Hector gave me some small missions to complete during the battle. Transporting Gigantomachia and Mikhail was just one of them.

But as he promised me at the beginning, I don't need to put myself at risk. Not me, not Helena or Shego. The two decided on their own to participate in the battle.

Helena for her own sense of responsibility and justice. And Shego for... I don't know... Compete with Helena? Seduce Master Hector? She is... strange... But not unbearable.

Seeing Master Hector face what is apparently a "God" I get a little worried. But apparently he has the upper hand, from what I can capture on camera. This is one of my missions.

"Computer, maintain 70% of cameras on the fight of Master Eidolon" I say to Artificial Intelligence, or Virtual Intelligence.

Not quite at the A.I. level. because it has no personality and no self-improvement potential according to master Hector.

Another fascinating stuff... Bringing numbers and letters to life on a computer.

"Following Isabella command." The robotic voice report "Distributing 70% of 'Caught in 4K' resources to Eidolon battle."

"Caught in 4K" is the name Master Hector gave to the plan to film the invasion to have proof against bad and fake advertisements in the future.

Apparently, Master Hector is waiting for the blame for this to fall on him and the others who are fighting. "Human nature..." he said.

Observing a more abandoned part of town I retrieve some alien corpses and technology like Master Hector ordered.

A situation on a certain screen catches my eye.

One child, a little boy, is trying to move what is probably his father out of the car. The father is unconscious at the wheel and the situation is not looking good.

There are chitauri footsoldiers approaching and people running in panic. But nobody stops to help.

I stare at the scene for a while. Maybe hoping for some good outcome, but it looks like I'm just fooling myself... Tch.

I utilize my powers without hesitation.

Black mist appears on the street that is now almost empty of human life. And I step onto the battlefield. A loud sound of explosions, screams, and destruction hit me. I'm on my "Mist Form" because Master Hector always says it's imperative that we hide our identities.

Only the child and his father are here from civilians. The Chitauri are already very close, shooting in buildings and cars. Taking their sweet time to bring complete destruction to the city.

I'm not an expert combatant like the others, but I know how to fight. And with my powers... I won't lose to cannon fodder.

I release a lot of mist from my body. Enough to engulf the entire street and swallow all enemies.

Everything is black and silent for a few moments. Then I retract the mist and there is no chitauri in sight.

I slowly turn to the child and father. The kid looks scared, but I ignore him and calmly pull the man out of the car.

"Don't worry, he's going to be fine." I say softly to the child.

Putting him down I prepare to teleport him away, but the father wakes up.

A little dizzy apparently. He looks around and panic fills his features until he finds his son and calms down. Giving the child a tight hug.

Then he sees me...

With a scream he takes the kid and starts backing away slowly, I don't move so as not to scare him, but even so, when he's at a reasonable distance he carries his the boy in his arms and runs in the opposite direction.

*Sigh* Using a car window I look at my appearance. I have to admit it's a little scary, but he shouldn't have judged so quickly. I don't even look like the aliens invading.

Now I see what Master Hector is trying to change.

Looking forward again I see the child look at me over the father's shoulder and wave his fingers at me.

Fufu. I wave back.

At least there's hope.

But I see it's going to be difficult.

Releasing a pillar of mist to the sky I release the captured chitauri... in pieces.

Body parts start to rain down the street while I calmly stand in the middle of it.

After I finish dismembering all the enemies I release my mist again to recollect everything.

After all, cleaning is my job...

...

Third Person P.O.V.

Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are at the Hellicarrier's command center, as they organize the evacuation of civilians and command special squads to deal with the chitauri on the ground. That's all they can do at the moment. This battle is something that a normal human army has no place in.

Every place is busy with activity, agents, and operatives. They move from side to side doing what they can. The Hellicarrier is also in need of repair, as it was thestage of the opening battle of this entire catastrophe.

In the various Holo-screens, the situation in New York is shown in real-time.

And it is precisely because of this type of situation that Nick Fury wanted to assemble a team of "exceptional" people. And now his fears have come to life in the form of an alien invasion led by Norse Gods.

Fortunately, the exceptional people were rounded up, with reinforcements apparently...

The arrival of this "Eidolon" makes Nick Fury happy and at the same time not. Reinforcements are always welcome, but the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence had no idea of the existence of such a powerful individual until he decides to reveal himself...

Their job is supposed to know things.

But deep down Fury knows it can't be avoided. People with powers must have unknown means to stay under the radar. And they can only be discovered if they make some grand gesture.

This Eidolon and his companions, Fury has no idea where they came from. Aliens too? Experiments? Mutants? Wizards?

For now, Eidolon is an ally. It's all that matters.

"Sir, the Council is on." Maria Hill approaches a little out of breath. Her expression tells everything Fury needs to know about this call from the World Council.

Fury groans in his mind.

"Director Fury, the Council has made a decision." One of the council members, a woman by the voice, speaks.

"I recognize that the Council has made a decision. But, given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I made the decision to ignore your guy's decision." Nick Fury speaks sarcastically, holding back from punching the holo-screen.

"Director, you're close than any of the four subs. You scramble that jet..." Another councilman speaks.

But is interrupted by Fury. "That is the island of Manhattan, Councilman! Until I'm certain that my team can't hold it, I-will-not-order-a-nuclear-strike-against-a-civilian-population!" Nick Fury staunchly protests.

All operatives and agents, including Maria Hill, listen to the conversation while holding their breath.

The result of that Exchange can decide the life and death of millions of people.

"If we don't hold it here, we lose everything!" The councilman says. "We can't trust the fate of the planet in the hands of unreliable individuals."

"My team is going to win. And they're our last chance. You make this nuclear attack, and you kill them... And if the invasion doesn't stop, huh? What we have left?" Fury argues.

Not wanting to continue with this useless discussion, Fury shuts down the screen.

He will not order this attack. He is ready to bet everything on the people fighting right now.

...

New York

Spider-man web-slings his way through the streets of New York.

"I got you, and you, and you, and you too!" He says as he launches webs to pull civilians out of the way of falling debris.

Acting fast, he makes a huge web that stops an empty bus from penetrating a building.

"People nowadays have no regard for public transportation." He says while web slings in a building and blocks the path of a flying chitauri chariot.

The chariot crashes into the web and spins out of the way, hitting several other chariots and then falling onto a battalion of chitauri.

"C'mon people. To the subway!" Spider-man urges the people on the street.

He jumps in another chariot and kicks one of the chitauri out of it. He turns to the pilot and grabs his hand which is on the "steering wheel"

"Hey, sorry but it's Saturday. Earth is closing early. Please come back never." He says as he drives the chariot to hit a Chitauri Leviathan.

Using his webs to secure the "steering wheel" in place and prevent the pilot from changing direction, Spider-Man jumps a few seconds before the chariot explodes into the leviathan.

Releasing another web, he swings to another part of town.

"Damn, I've used up almost all of my web fluid. I should have made more."

He drops to the ground to engage in a fist fight with another alien battalion.

Today the day had started so well. A date with Gwen, but then everything goes to shit. So after leading Gwen to the subway Peter disappeared to put on his suit.

'Now Gwen must think again that I'm a coward who abandoned her... *Sigh*' Peter thinks. It's not the first time this has happened. Last Christmas he, Ned, and Gwen were at the Stark Expo and when the Hammer Industries combat droids went rogue Peter also had to disappear to make way for Spider-man.

Peter noticed Gwen's anger and disappointment at the time.

"I hope this will be over soon..." He needs to explain himself.

...

"Oh my, look at the time... I'm 20 min too late to some... clobberin!" Ben Grimm a.k.a The Thing gestures to his watchless wrist before jumping into the group of Frost Giants.

Him and Hank Pym, the Ant-man or rather the "Giant" now, since he changed his alias after cutting ties with the government and figuring out how to grow in size. The two are mainly fighting the Frost Giants, as they are both heavy hitters. The Hulk helped ... when he wants.Since the Hulk does his own thing.

It's already a surprise he's differentiating friend from foe.

While they are engaged in their conflict reinforcements arrive.

Gigantomachia appears from a corner and drags his hand along the ground. His fingers, like claws, destroy everything in front of them. He destroyed most of the chitauri cannon fodder that was still around.

The Frost Giant raises an axe and attacks Machia in the shoulder. Machia simply grabs the axe and stabs the arm of the Frost giant with its claws.

This part of the city is problematic because the cold has already taken hold so only those who can withstand the low temperatures can fight.

"Well, I can't hold for much longer! Will you be okay?" Hank Pym asks. He is the most affected by the cold. Usar the Pym Particles to grow in size spend too much energy too.

"No problem, pal. Go back to kick some lizard alien ass." Come answer. "And yo, big guy? I mean, Bigger Guy... Are you all right there?" Bem asks Machia who holds two Frost Giants and hits each other on the head.

Machia doesn't respond, he takes a deep breath, sucking in all the cold air and expelling it with a blow. The high-pressure blow everything forward and knocks away even some enemies.

"Bigger insects are still insects..." Machia says.

"Eh... If you say so..." Well speak awkwardly.

...

In another part of the city, Mikhail is doing short work of the chitauri.

With his spatial abilities, he is very good with guerrilla fights Against great numbers of enemies.

He is using a short sword, his own preference that he has had since he lived in the other dimension. Due to the nature of his powers, using guns is very problematic. Easy to damage, you need to keep giving small pauses to aim and it's even slower than him just showing up behind someone and decapitating them.

The more powerful you are, the more common guns become obsolete and it is better to go back to the roots and use swords and other melee weapons. A pistol would only limit Superman's abilities for example.

*Clang*

But the problem is if the quality of the weapon is inferior, it can become ineffective. Like now, Mikhail's sword just broke. Sighing, he blinks to the ground and picks up two pieces of chitauri metal that were probably part of a flying chariot.

Even as he targeted the fragile parts like eyes and mouth, Mikhail's sword wore out. So the best option is to use an equivalent material for fighting.

Holding the two pieces of metal like clubs, Mikhail prepares himself to continue his onslaught.

...

Close to Central Park.

Amora hits a building before coming to a stop. She ended up breaking through some walls and being buried in debris.

But an Aesir is not fragile enough to die from being thrown for a few kilometers.

Even Amora, a woman and someone who pursues the mysteries of magic instead of physical strength has stats that far surpass a normal human.

In fact, it far surpasses even the likes of Captain America and Black Widow. A normal Aesir like her can lift 25 tonnes and has equivalent durability.

So Hector knew she would survive even if he was a little rough with her.

Amora gets up slowly and uses magic to start healing.

She is not well versed in healing, but she can mend her broken bones and patch her skin. But because she is not that good at healing magic, she will need a lot of time and materials to get back to her 100%.

So for the moment, she will remain in bad shape.

When she sees the state of her face she refuses to believe it. Broken teeth, swollen lips and eyes, messy hair.

She had never been so humiliated in her entire life.

She is Amora, The Enchantress, the most beautiful (self-declared) woman in all Nine Realms.

How can someone... A man of all things bear to treat her like that?

She gnashes what's left of her teeth and swears revenge.

She will make the hooded bastard pay a thousand times worse for his outrage.

She continues to heal. She continues inside the building because she doesn't want to be seen in such pathetic state.

*SWIISH* *SWIISH*

Two crossbow bolts fly towards her. One sinking in her stomach while the other is deflected hastily by a shield just made by Amora.

She would never be caught in a sneak attack of this level if she had her full mental faculties.

"WHO?!" Amora screams as she gets up and removes the bolt that is stuck in her abdomen.

Looking in the direction from which the bolts were fired, Amora sees Huntress near a hole in the building's wall.

She is the first to arrive because of the many detection powers that Hector gave her. And for the fact that she wasn't distracted like Shego.

Amora raises a glowing green hand, a magic circle forms and a giant ball of green flames is launched towards Huntress.

To Amora's surprise, Helena simply throws herself off the building to dodge.

Amora narrows her eyes and starts walking slowly toward the hole in the wall to make sure the enemy died from the fall.

Then she hears the sound of shots behind her. Moving quickly she makes another magic shield.

The bolts hit the shield and explode.

*Boom* * boom*

Not only on the shield, Huntress aimed for the ground as well. Making Amora fall one floor and be buried by debris.

Helena has already checked that the building is empty with Infra-red vision earlier.

After she jumped out of the building, she used Air Walk to quickly move around and catch Amora off guard. Flying is not common, even in Asgard. Amora doesn't expect a mere Midgardian to know how to move in the air.

Helena watches the debris with narrowed eyes, and it's unsurprising that she sees a blast happening, releasing everything in all directions, freeing Amora.

She looks even more of a mess now. Unkempt hair, dust, dirty water.

She's taking deep gasps or fair. Not for exertion, but because of her fury.

"Bunch of low-life and their lowly tricks!" Amora gnashes her teeth.

Helena doesn't hesitate to shoot again, but obviously Amora retaliates by shooting another green fireball.

But strangely, Amora staggers after releasing her magic and falls to the ground on her knees.

"*Gasp* *Gasp* Poison.?!" She realises and quickly raises a hand to her chest.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

The sound of the bolsts cutting through the air makes her roll on the floor to take cover.

'Hmm... Hector said that this poison would be enough to paralyze someone at the level of that Spider-man...' Helena thinks in her mind. The electrocuting bolts hit the ground, missing Amora.

'Magic, huh? I hate magic. 'Helena grumpily realizes in her mind as she remembers certain experiences in her past life. With Zatanna and Constantine.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Magic was too much bullshit to her and she always chose to avoid getting involved whenever something had the word "Magic", "Demon" or "Gods" in it. It was her modus operandi.

She knows a thing or two about magic, but this is in her old universe. She doesn't know if the magic here is similar.

So Helena decides not to be overeager for the "Killing blow" and wait for reinforcements. She will maintain her safe distance and just annoy Amora.

She realized Amora's state of mind is not the best.

She looks like the arrogant type. That looks down on everything. Like Circe of the DC universe.

Huntress fires more explosive bolts only to not give Amora time to breathe. These bolts will explode with different delays, to give Helena time to go get the big gun.

While keeping an eye on the building and Amora's position, Helena moves to the top of a nearby building where she put her suitcases. Opening one, she picks the bigger crossbow. And opening another suitcase she also takes a belt full of bolts that she attaches to the big crossbow, with this she can have a higher fire ratio.

'This thing packs a punch. As much as a sniper rifle.'

The big crossbow is almost comic in how big it is. Any gun enthusiast would rage for not having functionality and being unusable. For normal humans...

Helena already has a [Minor Super Strength], so she has no problem using it.

Honestly, Hector asked if she didn't want to switch to a sniper rifle or even a bow, so she could use her new powers to their full potential. But Helena preferred to stay true to her origins.

'I can't wait for to Hector finish his E-serum, then I can have better powers without burdening my body. Who doesn't want to be bulletproof? Or maybe throw a car at someone? How many cars have already been thrown at me? I want some revenge too... 'Helena thinks as she points the new crossbow at Amora's position.

But before she fires, a huge explosion happens in the building.

'Hmm? She buried herself?'Huntress looks intently at the collapsing building, and when she sees Amora's silhouette in her infra-red vision still unscathed she frowns.

'I see... That way, she'll buy time to get rid of the poison and heal...'

Amora is not incompetent. She lived for a long time, so her decision making her is very good. Knowing that she was at a disadvantage because her reaction time was compromised because of the poison and the various injuries, and also because Huntress can attack from anywhere. Amora decides to use the building debris as a shield.

No bolt can penetrate tonnes of concrete. None of Huntress bolts has at the moment, at least...

'This work for me too. Reinforcements will come to me eventually. She is only delaying the inevitably...' Huntress resolves to keep an eye on the collapsed building.

"The Sorcerer has cornered himself under a building to buy time. It's a good time to take her out." Huntress reports on the communicator.

After giving her location, Helena picks up some cylinders and throws them in the area of the building. The cylinders release Mustard Gas.

Helena won't let Amora's recovery be smooth.

After that she adds some more traps. To complement the ones she put in before she even fired the first bolt in this fight.

Now she's waiting for reinforcements to arrive, so she tries to hear a little about the situation throughout the battlefield.

She still hears loud noises from the fight between Thor and Hector, but it seems they are fighting in a lower attitude now. And the clash sounds are different.

'More like... 'Clangs'...? They're using weapons now? Hector even needs a weapon?' Helena wonders in her mind.

Honestly, she'd rather be moving in and taking out the chitauri or Frost Giants. But according to the intel, there are three main big threats at the moment... Loki, Thor and Amora.

The whereabouts of Loki are currently unknown, but she heard on the communicator that it looks like Loki is fighting Reed and Human Torch in the Stark Tower.

Thor, the most dangerous is being held by Eidolon.

So it's imperative that she doesn't leave Amora free to do whatever she wants.

After a few minutes, she hears the noise of something flying towards her at high speed.

"Took you long enough." Helena says to Shego that just arrives in a Jetpack made with Miss Militia power.

Miss Militia power from Worm series can create constructs of military things like guns and knifes. Thanks for the time that Hector "Cultivated" the power while he was the host, the power evolved a little and can now produce military vehicles too.

Hector was quite curious about this, as the power got one step closer to a Green Lantern Ring. Normally, in the world of "Worm" powers or shards only evolve through "awakenings", known as "Trigger events", these events depend on typically traumatic circumstances.

The fact that Miss Militia power grew a little without any traumatizing events to have her "Second Trigger" proves the influence Hector's [Power Manipulation] can have on all kinds of powers.

Hector suspects that in the future this power could even summon other military vehicles like Jets or submarines. But it would still be an inferior version of the Green Lantern ring or other powers that can make constructs.

After all, the constructs made by Shego are only from the military area. It is hard to change the nature of a power.

So Hector is still hoping to gain a Lantern Corps Ring in Gacha or manage to manifest Psychic Constructs with Telepathy, so he's only mildly interested in the power and is leaving it up to Shego to see how the power evolves from now on without him.

"Just kicking ass, while you sit leisurely here." Shego retorts Helena barb.

Soon after, Invisible Woman arrives, floating on a transparent platform.

After the greetings, Huntress turns to Invisible Woman and says.

"Can you make all the debris invisible? It would be nice to see what she was up to."

"I-I don't know... It's too much, I never tried..." Susan Storm says uncertainly.

"That what's she said." Shego speaks as he starts to walk forward. "There's no need to plan too much... Let's go with a Bang."

Shego approaches the place of the collapsed building and makes a construct with her powers.

"Is that a C4?" Helena asks with a foreboding feeling growing on her chest.

Shego turns to her and just smiles "Tee-hee" Before throwing a bunch of C4 madly in the overall direction of Amora.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I love this power!!" She screams before squeezing a device in her hand which is also made by her power.

*Click*

*BOOOOMM*

A large explosion engulfs the area. But Shego doesn't stop.

She doesn't know much about magic, so she won't hold back.

*Boom**Click**Boom**Click**Boom**Click**Boom**Click**Boom**Boom**Click* *Boom**Boom**Click**Boom**Click**Boom **Click* *Boom*

Several explosions afflict the place, while Shego just keeps laughing.

"Let's see for how much time she will hide?!"

"Eidolon said it was to capture her alive. She is the Plan B to end the brainwash." Huntress deadpans.

"'Preferably alive', and I'm not blasting her directly, relax. " Shego corrects... "Hey, you. Without-presence-woman, make a shield to trap the explosions and smoke" Shego says pointing to Susan.

"Ah... Eh.. Okay..?" Susan is a little overwhelmed by Shego's attitude, but she obeys.

But before 10 seconds have passed, a massive explosion that was not made by Shego C4 echoes. The explosion throws all the debris away and opens a space from where Amora emerges.

She is pissed. Breathing loudly and furiously.

Huntress points her crossbow and Invisible Woman also ready herself.

"Just protect our sniper." Shego says before jumping in Amora direction.

"You... I will skin your alive!" Amora speaks with eyes full of anger. Her day only gets worse every minute.

"Damn... No wonder you need to use magic and mind control to snare a man. You're ugly as fuck." Shego mocks smugly.

"Arrrgggh" Is too much to Amora who was already having trouble holding back all her anger. She finally explodes and starts tossing giant magic balls at Shego.

Shego expertly dodges as she tries to get closer.

Amora is so focused on Shego that she is hit again by Huntress bolts. This time she can only make a weak shield and she is thrown far.

She already gets up trying to cast a magic ray in Helena, but Susan stops with a shield.

She doesn't see that Shego is already on her and receives a punch in her face.

But she do not falter too much and she tries to counter attack, but Shego throws herself back to dodge.

She leaves a few grenades before moving away, they explode preventing Amora from chasing her.

'She is stronger than she looks.' Shego thinks.

"Hey" Janet Pym a.k.a the Wasp appears growing in an instant and also punches Amora in her face "Ouch" She winces a little, not expecting Amora to be so durable.

Changing strategy, she shrinks and shoots bio-electric blast with her Wasp's stings directly into Amora's eyes.

"Argh, you bunch of slu-" Amora starts screaming as she brings her hands to her face.

Out of nowhere Amora is hit by a blast of energy on her back.

She grunts being forced to fall flat on her face by the impact she didn't expect.

Black Widow appears holding a chitauri cannon.

"I'm too late for the party?"

"Yes, you are." Shego replies while she doesn't hesitate to make another C4 and throw it at Amora, but the sorcerer controls the earth to protect herself.

But the earth blocks too much of her vision, so she is hit from a blind spot by a bolt that electrocutes her.

Amora is then constantly bombarded by long range attacks without even having a chance to breathe. The women try to perfectly timee the offensive to overwhelm Amora. Their teamwork is crude but works.

After an unknown amount of time Amora let's the guard down exhausted.

While she wasn't looking, Helena quickly moved to another part of the battlefield.

"Invisible Woman!" Huntress screams as she fires another bolt with paralyzing poison.

After Amora is hit again, Susan envelopes her in a very constricted shield. Not allowing her to move or even get up. Keeping Amora in a fetal position. She can't exert too much strength and...

After a while, everything is too much to Amora and she falls unconscious.

"Wow...that's easy." Janet speaks.

"Let's make sure that is not a trick." Shego says while making a pistol and starts shooting with rubber-like bullets at Amora. The unconscious asgardian don't react.

"Do you have any fetish for shooting people taht already down?" Natasha asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. You were the only one who woke up this in me, take responsibility..." Shego says sultrily.

Before the discussion can continue, Helena interrupts.

"Eidolon did most of the work, so it was easy. Good job everyone." Helena says as she grabs some special handcuffs she had asked Isabella to send earlier.

"Yeah! Nice one, besties." Shego exclaims excitedly

"Besties?" Janet asks puzzled

"Yes, besties. Nothing bonds women better than trashing other women. We are betties now!"

"..."

"..."

They can deny it.

After binding Amora completely, Huntress looks up to the sky where it is possible to see the change in the weather and the results of Eidolon and Thor's fight.

"One less..."

"Is Eidolon gonna be okay?" Susan asks uncertainly. She has never seen this scale of power before. She can't help but be worried.

"Relax, he is strong." Shego speaks dismissively. But Helena realizes that she has a little worry that she is hiding.

"We can only trust him..." She sighs looking at the sky.

...

With Eidolon

*Clang*

Thor deflects a stab aimed at his throat.

Thor retaliates by swinging his Hammer at Eidolon's body, but is easily dodged.

The pace of the battle increase with each exchange. The two combatants' speed and their focus increased by the second as they practically slide along the ground.

They collide one time... Two times... Five...

Ten...

A hundred...

They're so fast that a normal person can't tell how the battle is going, just seeing the shadows going back and forth every now and then.

The cars are like made of paper and the buildings are like cardboard, completely ignored by Thor and Eidolon as they fight.

Eidolon is only fighting this way because he knows there's no one else in the vicinities. So he's not caring too much about property damage now. He has a plan.

Eidolon now can see the path to victory. But he needs to press Thor to his limits.

The concrete and Earth wraps around Thor's feet preventing him from dodging an attack. Causing him to receive a superficial wound in the arm.

A half-destroyed car hits him from behind, causing him to receive another wound to his thigh.

Debris blocks his escape route, causing him to take another direct hit. The debris also prevents him from moving as he wants, making it impossible for him to fight back.

It can now be said that Hector has the upper hand in the fight.

He is not hesitating too much and the battlefield now favors him. Previously, fighting in the air Thor can control the atmosphere and climate. Even flying to Hector was difficult because he was practically in Thor domain.

But now, with no civilians, Hector doesn't have to worry and he has lots of things to use. He still wants to take the battle to the skies though, to the grand finale. But he wants to take advantage of the terrain to weaken Thor a little.

After another clash, Thor abruptly uses Mjolnir to attack the ground, causing a shockwave to spread in all directions. Everyone feels like a mini-earthquake hits the city. Even Eidolon has to stabilize himself and the fight goes on a temporary break.

"You... Say your name warrior." Thor says while pointing his Mjolnir towards Eidolon. "I'm Thor from Asgard, God of Thunder and Son of Odin!" he declares proudly.

"...I'm Eidolon. A Metahuman. And now a Hero, apparently..." Hector replied unsure. 'This is some sort of recognition among fighters?'

"Good... Eidolon... Your tricks won't work on me. Let's fight with our all and decide this fight already"

"Hmpf. To me is working just fine... " Hector scoffs "And you're the one that moves don't work. Your hammer can barely touch me. And your lightning is useless... How do you plan to 'decide this fight,' Thor?"

Hector decides to use the opportunity to rile up Thor a little.

Using [Smokescreen], Eidolon engulfs blocks of the city in smoke.

Thor snorts and spins Mjolnir to disperse this useless effort of Eidolon.

"I already told you that petty tricks will not work..." Thor spoke, but Hector disappeared. "Where did you go?" Thor screams at nothing."

"Going to kill Amora." Hector's voice reverberates in the space.

"!" Thor prepares to fly, but as his feet leave the ground only for a few inches.

*BOOOM*

A giant arm phases through the ground and punches Thor to the Sky.

A giant Eidolon leaves the ground before shrinking in size and disappearing.

Calculating the trajectory, he appears a few dozen meters above Thor and kicks him away horizontally.

"Well, well...I thought you said that petty trick wouldn't work..." Hector provokes before pressing his advantage.

Eidolon slashes with the Sword of Actuation continuously and quickly. Every attack more close to give a fatal blow.

'He is really trying to kill me...' Thor thought.

'No, I'm not...' Eidolon thinks to himself after having caught the stray and superficial though of Thor mind. 'He is flustered, thoughts escaping like this'

Ever since Eidolon started to wield the Sword of Actuaction he has felt that his senses are different. More like his "sixth sense" or "sensibility to magic" has increased.

Maybe it's a passive buff of the sword and he didn't feel anything in the world of BNHA because there was no magic there.

Giving a side glance to Bleecker street, the place where the Sanctum of New York is, Hector, notices that he sees that the space there is weird... Blurry... Distorted...

Hector focuses on Thor and smiles. He can see his win condition.

In fact, previously Hector is worried. Even with all the epic battle he's had so far with Thor, the most he's managed is to make Thor bleed a little.

Obviously, if he really wants to kill Thor...

But he would have to pay a heavy price. Using powers like [Decay], [Overhaul] and others is not so simple. Thor is not going to sit around waiting to die. And Hector couldn't kill him instantly. Hector needs to be ready to sacrifice some limbs to give the killing blow.

Everything is almost ready. Hector just needs Thor to give him the chance.

The battle continues fiercely, the two have already moved a little away from the center of town.

'Trying to keep me away from Amora, huh? Works for me just fine...' Hector thinks

Thor utilizes the impact of a strong blow of Eidolon to gain space as he is blown away.

He is launched straight into New York bay, the impact making a huge wave. Big enough to threaten the shore.

'Tch... I'm not following him in the water.' Hector thinks before flying a little closer and waving his hand, freezing the wave and the water below him.

Something important to note is that the powers that Hector acquired in the world of BNHA, different from powers in the world of Marvel or Worm. Its strength is directly linked to the user's physical capabilities.

Like his fitness or his stamina.

So, to Hector, that is beyond human. He can bring out the true potential of all his powers.

In other words, ever the weakest of his power can reach Alpha-level power in his hands.

Closing his hand in a fist, Hector tries to seal Thor in Ice. Unfortunately, Thor manages to escape to the sky again. Keeping himself between Eidolon and New York city, like protecting it.

Or rather, preventing Eidolon from going after Amora.

'Why it looks like the villain here is me...?' Hector thinks before lowering his hand to the ice around him.

With Ice Manipulation he splits the large frozen wave into small spears and starts hurling it at Thor at high speed.

Ice can be hard as steel if it's cold enough.

Thor starts spinning Mjolnir to defend himself. Eidolon doesn't care, because actually half of the spears are being fired at the chitauri army in the sky.

Eidolon is taking the opportunity to put pressure on Thor and lessen the burden on the other heroes.

The spears of ice start to get bigger and bigger. Those that go towards Thor are reduced to snowflakes, but those that pass through him pierce chitauri chariots and leviathans.

The stalemate continues for a while, until spears as big as boats start flying through the sky.

Thor continues to spin his Mjolnir, fending off almost contemptuously easy.

But then his instincts flare. His senses scream and the world seems to go into slow motion.

Thor looks to the side and sees that a big ice spear much bigger than his body is passing on his side. Thor can even see his own reflection in the ice. He obviously ignored this attack because could not hit him...

Then, an arm holding the Sword of Actuation emerges from the ice. Everything looks slow, but in truth, everything is happening in the blink of an eye.

Eidolon had hidden in the ice and took advantage of it to sneak attack Thor.

The Sword of Actuation moves quickly to pierce Thor heart. Thor acts fast and decides to sacrifice his arm.

Puttin his left wrist on the way, he manages to deflect the sword making it pierce his shoulder.

*Pssh*

Thor felt pain in his side, looking down he saw a beam of light penetrating his waist.

Hector ignited a lightsaber to pierce Thor. A wound in the waist is a huge impediment in mobility.

After all, a person's center of gravity is usually at the hip or knees.

The two fighters looked each other in the eye.

Eidolon Upper body emerging from the ice. In his right hand the Sword of Actuation pierces Thor wrist and shoulder. In the other, his light saber penetrates Thor waist.

"Is just a petty trick..." Eidolon says before opening his mouth and screaming.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

Even Eidolon Half-mask has an open hole where Hector's mouth is.

Thor ears bleed a little. He backs off quickly.

Flying closer and closer to the clouds and the storm in the sky.

Eidolon leisurely pursues.

'Almost...'

Thor is enraged now. Pointing his Mjolnir towards the dark sky, he begins to attract a large amount of electricity.

Hector narrow his eyes. The nanobots in his UMF suit already repaired his mask.

"Feel the wrath of Thor--- The God of Thunder!!!" He screams after spinning Mjolnir and throwing it at Eidolon.

'I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!" Eidolon eyes sparkle.

Seeing the fast approach of Mjolnir, Eidolon reaches out.

His arm grows to ridiculous proportions, getting bigger than his own body. And then his army burst on black mist.

To use the power of teleportation, it is necessary to use the black mist which is made from the user's own body. This can be considered the greatest limitation of this power.

The black mist heads for Mjolnir to envelop it.

At this point Hector misscalculates a little.

The Mjolnir is overcharged with electricity, much of the mist is destroyed, in consequence much of Hector's arm too.

But he manages to teleport Mjolnir away.

To the roughly coordinates 40 42' S, 105 59' E.

On the other side of the world.

Even if the Mjolnir could move at FTL (Faster than light), it will need some time to lose momentum and change directions.

Every fan knows that Thor's great weakness is his over reliance of the Mjolnir, especially at the beginning of his saga.

If Batman can beat people because of his resources and research, Hector can beat them because of his absurd amount of powers and meta-knowledge.

Thor, seeing Mjolnir disappear, widened his eyes and extended his arm to call it back.

Eidolon doesn't hesitate. Ignoring his lack of left arm, he does a platform in the air and crouch down.

His leg muscles swell to almost twice their original size and Eidolon also activates [Overclock], the power that allows him to reach high speeds.

At the same time, Eidolon spins the Sword of Actuation in his hand, making the blade pass near his shoulder where a mouth appears.

The mouth opens and a tongue licks the sword and Thor blood. Eidolon just activated [Bloodcurling] from Stain.

He doesn't know if it will work on a god like Thor, but even if he just stops Thor's movements for a split second, it will be enough.

Thor shivers and gravity starts to make him fall faster.

'Cut only what I want! Cut only what I want! Cut only what I want! Cut only what I want!' Eidolon repeats in his mid as he approaches Thor at unmatched speed.

He's never been so focused in his entire life.

His eyes are bloodshot and he is even bleed from his nose.

The many mouths and eyes on the blade of Swords of Actuation start blinking and screaming madly.

For Thor, it all happened too fast. Eidolon's figure appears less than a meter away and before he can react. ..

*ZIIIIINN*

Eidolon cuts Thor in Half, from waist to shoulder.

Even though no one saw the moment of the "Killing blow", everyone feels it. Like all the sound of the battlefield was cut in half as well, and the entire city fell into an instant of suffocating silence. Even the clouds in the sky have a huge scar now.

Thor starts to fall to the ground in pain.

*Bang*.

Falling from that height doesn't hurt him much, he's more concerned about the pain in his chest.

There are no visible marks on his armor, his body has not been harmed in any way.

What Eidolon cut was Thor's "astral form", or rather the spell clinging in Thor's Astral form.

Thor kept kneeling on the ground gasping for air.

Eidolon cuts through a portal in space and appears behind Thor.

Only with a stump as his left arm, which was destroyed above his elbow. Hector didn't feel pain in the destruction because mist doesn't have pain receivers, but now he is feeling some ghost pains.

But he doesn't worry about that now.

Keeping his eyes on Thor he holds the Sword of Actuation up, ready to strike.

That it was his last gamble. From here, if it doesn't work, he's going to have to really cripple Thor and hope Odin can heal him later.

Thor continues to convulse in pain. He clutches his head and screams to the sky.

Green mist begins to pour out of his mouth, nostrils and eyes, and especially on the unseen scar in his torso left by Eidolon's sword.

The green mist spiraled in the air, and shapes of beautiful naked women makings seductive poses appear in the fog.

Thor finally relaxes and lands on all fours after expelling all green mist.

"UrghDisgusting thing." Eidolon says while waving his sword dispersing Amora's spell which is in mist form. "Are you back, Thor?" he asks cautiously.

After a few more deep breaths, Thor straightened up and looked at Eidolon. "Thanks, my friend... I'm good now." He says and the various powers of Hector confirm the veracity of his words.

"Good" Hector smiles. Finally relaxing.

Thor guiltily looks around and also at the stump that was Eidolon's arm.

Noticing Thor's gaze Hector speaks. "Tis but a scratch. will grow back"

'I will hold back the regrowing for now... Who knows, maybe I can surprise Loki by giving him a punch with a regenerated arm. And also inspire pity. Oh~ Look at Eidolon, he sacrificed so much for us. Hehe' Hector thinks.

At that moment the two hear a great noise coming from downtown New York.

"Let's go, Thor." Eidolon extends his remaining arm. "There's still work to do."

Thor grabs his arm and stands up. Extending his other arm, he calls Mjolnir back.

"Let's teach my idiotic brother a lesson" He says.

...

Some minutes early.

In the Stark Tower.

Reed Richards had returned to his lab to retrieve a device to destroy the machine that's powering the portal.

The device is an abandoned project of his even before the Fantastic Four gained their powers. There are four mini-turret-like machines that can stabilize the space to prevent the portal from going out of control and that the changes in temperature and pressure on both sides of the portal do not affect the surroundings too much.

Now, he plans to do the exact opposite. To reverse the repelling force that Selvig machine produces and make the machine self-destruct.

But before he can install the devices, Loki attacked him.

Loki has been hiding nearby since he said goodbye to Thor, and he doesn't plan on letting anyone interfere with the portals.

To him, his army will eventually overwhelm the heroes.

And he needn't care about the damage since he's the invading force.

Loki was successful in defeating Reed and Human Torch, the two are now grunting in pain on the ground. It wasn't much of a fight as Loki caught them off guard.

But before Loki can boast...

*crash*

Hulk appears and punches him, causing him to fall off the top of the building onto a car on the street.

Hulk follows jumping and lands just as Loki gets up.

"Enough!" Loki screams furiously. "You are, all of you are beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by..." he is interrupted by Hulk who grabs his leg and slams loki repeatedly on the street.

"Puny god..." Hulk snorts.

But Hulk is sent back a few steps by an energy blast.

"Now... I'm the one that is angry." Loki says before spawning the Casket of Ancient Winters.

And surprisingly, he doesn't unleash the power of the casket in Hulk, instead, his skin starts to become blue. His eyes and sclera glow red.

Loki's mouth comically expands and he swallows the Casket.

And then his body starts to expand, muscles grow surpassing the Hulk. His clothes are ripped off, leaving him bare chest, only with his pants barely holding it. (A.N.: Him and Hulk must go shopping in the same place.)

An ice crown appears on his forehead.

He swats Hulk very far with a swing of his arm.

"Now, you shall pay." The now giant Loki says hoarsely.

*bang*

The Mjolnir hits Loki in the chin, before making an arc and coming back to the hand of Thor.

Thor and Eidolon land on the floor side-by-side.

"What long day..." Eidolon mutters as he makes a battle stance.

...

Hector P.O.V.

"What long day..." I mutter as I prepare for another fight.

So many unexpected things.

The girls have already reported that Amora has been captured, so all that remains is to defeat Thor and stop the Portal Machine.

I'm still with only one arm. Maybe the opportunity to catch Loki off guard will appear now.

"Eidolon..." I hear Thor calling me to my side.

"Hmm?"

"He is still my brother..." Thor spoke gravely.

I understand what he means.

"*Sigh* Okay..." I nod "I support you." I say simply.

Thor nods and prepares to attack.

Spinning the Mjolnir, he launches himself towards Loki.

Loki raises his hands forward and makes a blue magic circle...

*ziing*

I move really fast and cut the magic circle with my sword. A anti-magic sword is very useful...

"You-" Loki says in surprise but he is hit by Thor in the stomach and dragged by several blocks.

After slamming Loki into the ground, Thor floats in the air and draws lightning with his Mjolnir and blasts Loki.

I move swiftly, and wait for an opportunity to counter any of Loki's possible counter attacks.

*Crash*.

Hm? Hulk comes jumping and stomps on Loki's chest. But in the process, it is also hit by Thor's lightning.

Ugh... That's why I didn't want him to get involved in my fight with Thor. It would get too messy and easily get out of my control.

Because of Hulk, Thor stops using lighting. Loki seizes the opportunity and blasts Hulk away as he tries to get up...

I cut his heel, forcing him to his knees.

Going under him I give him an uppercut to the sky, Thor seizes the opportunity and Throw himself again at Loki.

Sincerely, this is not a fight. Is a beating...

Every spell that Loki tries, I cut.

Every move, Thor Overwhelm him.

"You are just a mortal ant thinking that can challenge a god!"

Oh~ Trash talk? I'm good at it. I was a keyboard warrior, Loki. God of Lies or not, you have no chance.

"So, Loki... Just curious... About you and Sleipnir..." I start "No kink-shaming here, by the way... I'm just intrigued..."

Thor guffawed.

"What about Sleepnir?" Loki asks pausing.

"That his your child..." I continue.

"Your think I'm the father of Odin mount?!" He screams

"Eh... I think that you are his mother of him... And the father is a Horse... "

Loki's face blanks.

Thor continues to laugh.

"THOOOR, what kind of lies are you spreading in Midgard?!"

"Hey brother. Don't point your fingers at me. It was Sif, as revenge for you shaving her hair off." Thor spoke with a chuckle. "But I have to say brother, because of your other kids... It was easy for people to believe in it." Thor speaks and laughs.

"Oh~ Godly gossip." I say as I move for an attack.

"Eidolon, my friend. One day I will tell you other interesting stories." Thoe speaks as we continue to press angry Loki.

The fight continues for a few minutes. Even Hulk delivers some good blows.

As I move quickly across the battlefield, I can't help but hum a little.

"I am the storm that is approachiiiiiing"

"Provokiiiiiiing"

"Black clouds in isolation"

I'm using a space-cutting sword to combo Loki, I can't help it.

"Let's finish this, Thor!" I scream.

Kicking Loki Guts, I send him flying high in the Sky, to Thor who is accumulating power with stormy clouds.

I'm directly below the two, making a line of the three o fus.

Thor roars and strikes Loki with big lightning. Thick as a car.

I focus too. Power flows through my fingertips. I let the anger of this invasion boils. And I connect with the Darkside of the Force.

Pointing my remaining hand to Loki in the sky, I strike with my own purple lightning.

Blue and purple lightning meet with Loki in the center lighting up the entire city.

Even the scattering lightning strikes flying Chitauris, making them fall from the skys like flys.

As if we had agreed, I and Thor stopped at the same time.

Loki begins to fall, scorched.

I jump at him, with the Sword of Actuation in hand.

The sword makes me see the core of the origin of Loki's cold energy. Right in his stomach.

I cut Loki and emerge from behind him with the Casket of Ancient Winters in a telekinetic grip.

Loki starts to fall to the ground shrinking. Still alive, I feel.

I grip my sword like a spear and throw it at Loki,sticking him on the ground.

I avoided his vital points so he won't die from it.

But the Sword of Actuation is an item from the Gacha, no one can move it if I don't allow.

I land on the ground, Thor landing beside me.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine..." I kick Loki in the balls.

He was starting to get ashen-faced, probably to instigate pity in Thor and fake his death.

"Bloody hell, I'll get revenge one day." He screams after seeing that I see through his act.

"Hehe, you got what you deserve brother." Thor said as we watched Loki try to take the sword that was trapping him on the ground.

The thorns in the handle lash out like a whip striking Loki's hands.

"What in damnation is this sword?" Loki asks

"It's not just anyone who can use it" I reply

"I did something similar once, put Mjolnir on his chest. He didn't move for three days." Thor speaks beside me

"You should have left him there longer."

Hulk lands in the middle of the two of us.

"Good Job, Dr. Ban-I mean, Hulk." Thor starts but corrects himself in the middle seeing the face the Hulk made.

Then the Hulk extends both arms as if to give a small punch to both our shoulders. Thor is sent flying away. But I saw this miles away and became was intangible.

"Ugh No smashable puny guy. Hulk sad." He says as he runs his hand through me like I'm a ghost.

"Best luck, next time Big guy." I say moving away.

Hm. Interesting... I felt a tingle where the Hulk's hand was passing. Is this radiation Gamma? I remember in the comics the Hulk has a connection to The One Below All because of the Gamma radiation.

Can he hurt me even intangible if he learns to control it?

Better to be careful and not 100% trust my intangibility.

...

Top of Stark Tower

After Loki is taken away, Reed Richards can finally install the machinery to destroy the portal.

"Just a few more minutes and the portals will be destroyed." He reports on the communicator, boosting the morale of the rest of the heroes.

...

S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier

"Sir, we have a bird in motion!" Maria Hill reports to Nick Fury across the control room.

Fury's face fell and he doesn't hesitate to take off and run towards the hangar.

"Anyone on the deck?? We have a rogue Bird! We need to shut it down! I repeat: SHUT.IT.DOWN!!" Maria Hill desperately conveys orders. She and Fury know what is this about. The World Council overrides Fury's authority and is launching a nuclear assault.

Meanwhile Fury has already run and jumped through various corridors and bridges of the Helicarrier, he reaches the deck holding an RPG just in time to see the fighter jet getting ready to take off.

He aims the RPG and expertly shoots it at the back of the jet, to prevent it from taking flight and also to not kill the pilot who is just following orders.

*BOOM*

The jet is half destroyed and is gliding along the runway. Before Fury can breathe a sigh of relief...

...Another Fighter Jet passes him quickly and takes flight. Nick Fury by reflex takes out his pistol, but he knows that will be a futile effort.

Sighing he goes back inside the Helicarrier and presses the button on his communicator.

"Stark... Do you hear me? We have a missile, and it's going straight to the city." Fury reports gravely.

"*Grunt* How long?" Stark asks as he stands up, he had just been knocked down by one of the clashes from the battle of Eidolon and Thor and was being overwhelmed on the ground by the chitauri.

"Three minutes... max."

"Ugh... Jarvis, put everything we got in the thrusters!" Stark speaks before taking flight. "Reed, delay the destruction of the portal for a while. There's a missile coming and I know exactly where to put it." Stark speaks and without waiting for an answer he flies to the outskirts of the city.

...

Hector P.O.V.

Hm? I feel a shiver through my body. This is the second time I've felt danger of this magnitude. The first was when I felt the invasion, but this time it's much worse. I don't feel a danger that threatens only my surroundings...

... Now I feel that my life is being truly threatened.

"What troubles you, my friend?" Thor asks beside me.

I don't answer, eyes focused in a certain direction.

It was then that I saw it.

"... A nuke. Filhos da puta." I curse in portuguese.

I raise my hand, but then I see that Iron Man is already directly under the missile.

"Tch." This complicates things a bit, but I can still send the nuke away. But... but...

I'm in a dilemma...

On the one hand, the safest route is simply ripping Iron Man off the missile and opening a portal to the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

But on the other hand, this is a turning point for Tony Stark... The first sacrificial play that he made. This close encounter with death was the first step towards making him a true hero, at least in the MCU.

What will happen if I interfere? Will I hinder his growth? Will there be some snowball effect that makes him weaker and less prepared than what he normally would be? It could even lead to his eventual death.

Ugh... This dilemma is probably something those fan-fic MCs must always have. How much to interfere with the "plot" of the story? In theory, the best thing to do is to prevent catastrophes and encourage good things. But in practice, it is not so simple.

Stark already has the missile under control and is sending it into space. The best case scenario. But he will have severe PTSD...

Things might not go as smoothly as in the movie... I already have examples of that. But it's good that Stark becomes a reliable ally, I may not be able to prevent all disasters.

That's one of the decisions that have no right answer. And you will only know the best outcome after everything happens.

Armin once said, "Everyone can make a choice after they have learned what it will result in... But you don't know what your choice will result in before actually choosing."

Even using Observation Haki, I only see a few seconds in the future. I am following the trajectory of the missile. If I see that he's going to explode prematurely with my Observation haki I'll act.

Leaving Thor confused, I begin to float and follow Iron Man's trajectory with my eyes. Then my time to make a choice is over and I see Stark walking through the portal carrying the missile.

I sigh, hoping that I made the best decision.

But just because I'm going to let the plot go by itself in this particular case doesn't mean I can't protect the others from the consequences.

Stopping at the top of Stark Tower I prepare to pull Stark and not let him fall through the portal on his own. This I will not leave to luck.

Come to think of it... Maybe this is also just a controlled risk...

"!" Yeah... It sounds right... People like Odin or the Ancient One can probably end this invasion with the snap of a finger. But they probably let it happen...

Why?

As a way of tempering Earth Heroes for the future.

Odin and the Ancient One won't be protecting us forever. The two, for example, are already training and preparing their respective successors.

Maybe to them... This invasion is simply a training opportunity for us.

To prepare us to even bigger threats in the future.

The super-powerful-long-live-people must have a completely different mindset from us.

They can handle it if things get out of hand. Damn, Loki can never dominate Earth... There are too many hidden powerhouses hidden on the planet.

If the invasion expanded beyond New York, someone could "wake up" and destroy Loki. Like Khonshu for example... If Loki's ambition continued, he would step on so many toes.

This invasion is bound to be a failure from the start...

And the lives lost in the process? If I ask, they will probably reply with "small price to pay".

And honestly... Logically, I can't deny it. This invasion was weak and was a great wake-up call to the world.

But I'm still extremely uncomfortable. Well, I'm a hypocrite too. After all, I'm also using this to propel my own agenda. But at least I'm sincere in my help...

Ugh... I will think about this later.

I prepare my good arm and punch into the sky towards the portal. My arm stretches for miles and miles until it crosses the portal.

Using partial Gigantification and Mochi Mochi no mi I can have a lot of mass to use. I used the same trick to have more mist to teleport the Mjolnir.

"Can he stretch like you?" I hear Human Torch talking to Reed.

"Focus, close the portal the moment I pull Stark back." I speak as I continue to expand my arm.

"Got him!" I say when I feel my mochi wrapping around the Iron Man armor figure.

Without delay, I bring Stark back. But the portal still hasn't closed and I can see hints of the nuclear explosion approaching.

"Why is the portal still open??" I scream

"This... This is unexpected. My machine is building momentum to reverse the pressure and destroy the Portal machine." Reed responds flustered.

Ugh... Smartest man alive my ass.

That's putting all your points in INT and neglecting WIS.

"Thor! Catch! "I say before launching Iron Man towards Thor who was flying close.

Thinking fast I fly towards Captain America.

He was watching the situation in the sky, like everyone else probably.

"Lend me your shield. Thank you." I say and without waiting for his answer I take his shield.

Flying towards the portal, I see the explosion getting closer.

I activate a power that can make inanimate objects grow (Yui Kodai quirk) and use it on the Vibranium/Adamantium shield. And I launch the shield towards the portal and telekinetically control it to "cover" the portal.

Everyone in the city can see the shield blocking the portal.

Hmm. I thought I would have to apply more force to block a nuclear blast, but this shield is very efficient. I'm barely putting strength behind my telekinetic hold.

I'm only holding the shield in place.

After a while, I feel like the explosions have stopped and I retract the shield.

To make a little show I make the shield circle the city while the painted part is facing downwards. Then I draw it into my hand and when I touch it, I make the shield go back to normal size.

I'm in a good position, many people can see me. They saw me use Captain America's shield to defend the city... Good PR.

After that, I float to where Captain America is. Steve Rogers is reunited with Thor, Hulk, Hank Pym and the Thing around Tony Stark who is breathing heavily on the floor.

Loki is close, still grounded by the Sword of Actuation. It seems he has accepted his fate.

Resisting the urge to act like Scott Lang and say cheesily: "Here is your shield, Captain America!" I just hold it out and say.

"Thanks"

He nods his head, I feel him look at me in awe.

"I'm the one that should thank you." He says. "That's good and fast thinking."

I nod.

"And your arm?" He looks worried at my stump.

"Relax, I have my means."

At that moment Reed's machine seems to work because we hear an explosion at the top of Stark Tower and the portals close.

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief and I hear some cheers around the city.

Then I see the girls approaching carrying Amora.

They look at us and seem relieved that we're all okay.

Then Shego and Helena notice my lack of an arm.

"What happened?" Shego asks frowning. Eh.. She looks worried. So even Shego can be serious at some point, huh?

"Do not worry. Tis but a scratch." I make the joke again.

"Hah. I understood this reference!" Tony Stark talks while putting himself in a sitting position "Did you guys see what I did here? I made a reference about Steve here understanding a reference." He speaks before he lies down tired again.

Heh. That's truly funny. But I wasn't at the meeting between them, so I can't laugh.

"Did you guys even try shawarma?" Stark continues

....

A.N.: hello dar readers.

Fighting scenes are ahrd, ugh.

I hope the conclusion of the Eidolon vs Thor fight makes sense. A battle between characters is always a point of discussion. Any Thor fanboy out there who will say there was no chance of Eidolon winning? Well, to me Thor is still stronger. But that was never a decisive factor in a fight, right?

Anyway, I'm going to the "Bro Thor" route. He is one of the few characters that is and usually will be at Eidolon level. Thor has sick power-ups though his history. Rune King Thor...

Thor and Eidolon, I believe will always be on par. Until Hector wins beyonder(pre-retcom) or something in the gacha.

By the way, the next gacha is near!! It's been a while, huh? Well, it's only been two months since the first chapter in the timeline.

In the future, the timeline of the story will progress faster.

You guys can give suggestions for the next gacha here. I have 70% decided already... But remember it has to be of a reasonable power level with Hector currently. No Gilgamesh... For now...

Nex chapter will be the ending of this arc. The world reacting to the changes.

I Always like reaction chapters.

Tiil next time.

Stay good!
