Smoke drifted slowly through the ruined street.
Deep inside the collapsed building, the Hulk's enormous body lay buried beneath broken concrete and twisted steel.
Hulk
A moment later, a red-and-gold figure flew overhead and landed near the rubble.
Tony Stark hovered slightly above the ground as the armor's thrusters cooled.
"Hey big guy," Tony said casually. "You alright in there?"
Unfortunately, the Hulk had no intention of answering.
The giant slowly pushed away the debris covering his body. His scarlet eyes opened again, burning with renewed fury as he climbed out of the crater.
Nearby, Phil Coulson frowned deeply.
"Hulk, that's enough. Stand down," Coulson said cautiously.
But even as he spoke, a familiar dread crept into his mind.
This was the creature who once treated Queens like a playground during his rampages.
If the Hulk lost control again…
The consequences could be catastrophic.
Roar!!
The Hulk's thunderous roar shook the street.
His gaze locked instantly onto Foola.
The green giant's rage surged even higher.
"There's no end to this," Foola said coldly, her expression clearly growing impatient.
She was already preparing to move again when Yun Chen stepped forward.
"I'll handle it."
Foola immediately stopped.
"Yes, Your Majesty," she replied respectfully, bowing her head.
The simple gesture did not go unnoticed.
Everyone nearby had already been staring at the mysterious woman.
After all, they had just witnessed her knock the Hulk flying with a single punch.
Her short black hair, icy expression, and overwhelming power gave her the aura of a queen.
Now she had bowed to someone.
A man.
Gasps spread across the street.
"What just happened?"
"That woman… bowed to him?"
Even from a distance, Natasha Romanoff noticed something strange.
She could not hear the conversation clearly, but she was skilled at reading lips.
Two words stood out.
Your Majesty.
That woman had just addressed the young man that way.
Natasha frowned slightly.
Who exactly was he?
Before she could think further, the Hulk had already reached Yun Chen.
The massive green fist swung down with overwhelming force.
"Lie down," Yun Chen said calmly.
In the next instant, the two collided.
The Hulk's punch arrived first.
But Yun Chen moved faster.
His hand caught the Hulk's arm mid-swing.
Hum!
A terrifying force erupted instantly.
The Hulk's vision spun violently as Yun Chen lifted his arm and slammed the giant body straight into the ground.
Bang!!
The pavement shattered.
"To deal with a creature like this," Yun Chen said calmly, "the best method is simple."
"Knock him unconscious."
Bang!
He swung the Hulk's body again.
Then again.
And again.
Left.
Right.
Left.
Right.
The enormous green body slammed repeatedly into the pavement like a rag doll.
After more than ten brutal impacts, the resistance suddenly vanished.
The Hulk had stopped struggling.
When Yun Chen released his grip, the giant lay motionless inside the crater.
Completely unconscious.
"That's enough," Yun Chen said lightly.
Even the Hulk's legendary strength was insignificant compared to the Kryptonian steel body.
At that moment, a furious voice thundered from above.
"What did you do to my brother?!"
Lightning crackled across the sky as a figure descended rapidly.
Thor
Thor had fought alongside the Hulk earlier during the battle.
Among all the warriors on the field, the Asgardian prince admired the Hulk's raw power the most.
Seeing his companion beaten so brutally ignited his anger instantly.
But before he could even land—
"Careful!" someone shouted.
Hum!
A blazing red beam shot upward from the street.
Heat vision.
The beam struck Thor before he could react.
Bang!
His body dropped from the sky like a broken kite.
Gasps erupted everywhere.
"This… impossible."
"Thor was defeated?"
"He was destroying alien ships minutes ago!"
Even the S.H.I.E.L.D agents stared in disbelief.
The same mysterious woman who had knocked down the Hulk had just fired that devastating beam.
Phil Coulson felt his head spin.
"What is going on here?"
He immediately activated his headset.
"Director Nick Fury," Coulson reported quickly. "We've got a situation."
"A woman stronger than the Hulk just appeared."
He paused briefly before correcting himself.
"Actually… there are two of them. And the man with them may be even more dangerous."
The situation had changed completely.
Both the Hulk and Thor had been defeated.
Agents who had been watching the fight casually now raised their weapons cautiously.
No one could determine whether these newcomers were allies or enemies.
Thor climbed slowly back to his feet, clearly furious.
But before he could attack again—
Hum!
The sky suddenly flashed blue.
The massive wormhole above the clouds began collapsing.
Space Stone
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scientific team had finally succeeded in shutting down the device powering the portal.
The wormhole closed.
Instantly.
The remaining Chitauri soldiers froze.
Chitauri
Without the command signal from their fleet, their bodies shut down like machines losing power.
They collapsed one after another.
People stared in astonishment.
"So they're not organic?"
"They're more like mechanical soldiers."
"Who could control an army like this?"
Regardless of the answer, one fact was undeniable.
Earth had won.
The invasion was over.
Nearby, the defeated Loki slowly climbed out of a crater.
Loki
Agents immediately surrounded him with raised weapons.
"Damn it…"
Loki's eyes burned with humiliation.
For the God of Mischief, being captured by mortals was the ultimate disgrace.
He glanced toward Thor.
Then toward the now-closed wormhole.
He was alone.
If he could somehow reach the Space Stone…
Perhaps escape was still possible.
But before he could act—
A scream erupted from the scientific team nearby.
Several scientists suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Loki froze.
Everyone turned toward the Space Stone's containment device.
A massive purple arm suddenly tore through space itself.
In one brutal motion, the hand twisted a scientist's neck.
Loki's face turned pale.
"Thanos…"
