Immediately after, Sawatari Akane's eyes narrowed as she ordered again, "Ghost."
The Snake Devil's throat writhed violently.
Immediately after, a complete devil was spat out from its gaping abyss of a maw into a dark alley nearby.
It had the face of a woman as pale as paper, with eyes and lips sewn shut with coarse stitches; trailing down from its disheveled hair was a slender torso constructed from countless tightly packed, pale flowers.
It had no hands or legs in the conventional sense.
Instead, beneath its torso were hundreds, even thousands, of pale human arms.
They hung densely interlaced beneath its body, writhing about.
The Ghost Devil had arrived.
Hand-fetishist's ecstasy (jk)
One can only say that Tatsuki Fujimoto really loves human hands...
Su Modie complained gloomily.
Many devils inexplicably have a bunch of arms growing out of them; the Snake Devil is like that, and so is the Ghost Devil.
The Ghost Devil blocked the entrance to the alley like a bizarre statue of an evil god.
Behind it were innocent citizens driven into a dead end, and before it was the Chitauri Army pressing forward with guns raised.
This suddenly descended monster stood right between the two, forcibly cutting off the alien soldiers' path.
The Chitauri in the front row were forced to stop, looking up at this bizarre behemoth.
Expressions of astonishment appeared on their ugly faces.
Before they could even raise their guns and fire, the monster's countless thick arms suddenly erupted.
Like a giant sea anemone hunting in the deep sea, it grabbed the soldiers who were attempting to rush into the alley to start a massacre.
Accompanied by the terrifying sound of cracking bones, the aliens' necks and torsos were easily snapped on the spot by those pale palms!
Strictly speaking, it was protecting the citizens of New York, but unfortunately...
Seeing the mountain-like monster covered in human hands at the alley entrance, ruthlessly slaughtering aliens while wearing a bizarre smile, several New York citizens hiding behind trash cans were instead scared out of their wits right then and there.
They huddled together, wailing in despair.
This "reinforcement" that appeared out of nowhere was a hundred times more ghastly than those aliens, hey!
What on Earth is happening to New York today?!
A few kilometers away from this chaotic block, at the top of Stark Tower.
Loki, who was standing on the roof surveying the overall situation just like Su Modie, naturally noticed these successive turn of events as well.
He gripped the Mind Stone Scepter tightly, the elegance and composure on his face no longer sustainable.
Who was that humanoid Bomb flying around in the sky?
Wait... I remember her. She seems to be called Reze or something. Is she with that... Avengers group?
But the problem is, besides her...
What was the deal with that Female Titan riding on the back of a Leviathan?
And in the streets of Hells Kitchen, what kind of thing was that bizarre Giant Flying Fish that could swallow people and spit them out to heal their wounds?!
Not only that, his gaze swept over several blocks below, and his expression grew even darker.
That birdman who could suck people into mummies... that woman whose head and arms were all sharp Heavy Crossbows, and that girl who summoned a white snake with severed hands and a Thousand-armed monster... what the hell are all of those things?!
Loki was utterly perplexed.
He had planned this invasion for a long time and considered himself knowledgeable about all the secrets of this backward Planet.
But when did so many strange and completely illogical creatures pop up on Earth?!
Not to mention Midgard, which he had always looked down upon; even in Asgard and Jotunheim, there wasn't such an absurd spectacle.
Besides these monsters that crawled out of nowhere, what made his heart feel a faint chill was that woman—
She was called Makima, right?
Thinking of this, Loki's face was as dark as water.
He wasn't naive enough to think he had actually killed her.
Especially after witnessing the scene of that woman bizarrely resurrecting before his eyes, he had a strong intuition: since this terrifying woman didn't die the first time, she was even less likely to die the second time.
At this moment, she must be lurking in some corner of the shadows, watching him...
"Hiss—"
The screams from the battlefield forcibly pulled Loki's thoughts back to reality.
Seeing the Chitauri Army being intercepted at these points by this group of monsters, and even being unilaterally slaughtered like insects, Loki gnashed his teeth.
He couldn't care about that much anymore; he could only use the trump card in his hand ahead of schedule.
He turned his head and looked at the giant beast in the shadows whose eyes glowed with a faint blue light, a cold, cruel smirk curling at the corners of his mouth:
"Hulk... it's your turn to appear. Smash all those eyesore insects into meat paste."
On the other side, the sky battlefield.
Annie, riding on the back of the Leviathan beast, was finally starting to find the damage hard to bear.
Even if she became the avatar of a fourteen-meter-tall Female Titan, a Titan's flesh was still flesh after all.
Forget the Chitauri's energy weapons from space; even ordinary bullets were a bit much to handle.
Soon, the Female Titan's body was blasted until flesh and blood flew everywhere, and large patches of tough muscle tissue fell off.
The Leviathan suddenly rolled, throwing Annie off violently!
"Boom—!"
The Female Titan's body crashed into the side of an office building, causing the reinforced concrete on the building's surface to cave in deeply.
Before several Chitauri hover-bikes could surround her, Annie decisively severed the flesh-tendril connections at the back of the neck and crawled out from within the Titan.
With a roll, she kicked through the remaining glass of the building and quickly hid inside a room.
Just as she landed, Annie brushed the dust off herself and looked up, happening to meet two pairs of large, fear-filled eyes.
They were a pair of children left behind in a corner of the bedroom, trembling as they looked at this blonde girl who had appeared out of thin air with bloodstains all over her face; tears were welling up in their eyes from fear, and they were about to scream.
Several black lines immediately appeared on Annie's forehead.
Whose parents are so irresponsible? Leaving two children at home alone?
Hearing the sound of aircraft engines getting closer outside the window, Annie frowned. Without a word, she stepped forward, picked up one child in each hand, and roughly stuffed them into the large wardrobe nearby.
"Shut up, or I'll feed you to the aliens!"
Annie stared at them with her cold blue eyes.
Her naturally cold, murderous aura was indeed terrifying.
The two children immediately covered their mouths, not even daring to breathe loudly.
After dealing with the dead weight, Annie closed the wardrobe door.
She reached into the air and took out two small glass bottles containing turbid liquid from Su Modie's warehouse.
Those were the specialties of her "two old colleagues"—the Spinal Fluid of the Armored Titan and the Spinal Fluid of the Colossal Titan.
They were worth 1,500 simulation values and 3,000 simulation values respectively.
Annie pulled out the stoppers, tilted her head back, and drank both bottles of liquid in one gulp.
A strong sense of nausea immediately surged up her throat.
Annie covered her mouth, her brow furrowed.
She thought she had long since become accustomed to consuming these things, but she didn't expect that drinking them out of the blue after so long...
...would be so disgusting.
Especially when the clear and stupid faces of Reiner and Bertholdt couldn't help but surface in her mind...
It became even more disgusting...
