Chapter 1117: Taking Action

Beep, Beep, Beep!

“High-energy signature detected! Initiate rapid evasive maneuvers!”

Swish, Swish, Swish!

In the instant that Loki’s staff emitted a green glow, J.A.R.V.I.S. recognized that something was amiss. It swiftly commanded the Iron Man suits engaging Loki to retreat.

However, despite J.A.R.V.I.S.’s quick response, as the Iron Man suits were still in the midst of their lifeform energy assault, their fiery red energy beams aimed at Loki were forcibly swept aside by a faint green radiance.

Huff!

Midway through the sweeping process, the fiery red energy beams abruptly ceased. Then, dozens of Iron Man suits swiftly scattered in all directions to evade the incoming faint green radiance.

However, the speed of the faint green radiance was simply too swift, and its range of sweep was extensive. Eventually, it caught up with the majority of the Iron Man suits.

Bang, Bang, Bang!

As a result, the fiery red radiance on the Iron Man suits swept by the faint green radiance instantaneously extinguished. Subsequently, in a series of bangs, the Iron Man suits that had just activated their lifeform energy systems in preparation for a dazzling display plummeted toward the desert floor one after another.

Huff!

After Loki neutralized Tony’s Iron Man suits with another powerful move that disrupted their upgraded lifeform energy systems, a shadow darted overhead— it was Falcon.

As Falcon flew above Loki, flames spewed from his weapon. Although he was aware that his firepower would likely be ineffective against the opponent before him, Falcon couldn’t remain passive on the sidelines.

“Natasha! Is everything ready?!” Falcon yelled loudly through the communication system while rapidly suppressing Loki’s movements with firepower.

“Roar! Hulk!” However, the response that came through the communication device wasn’t Natasha’s; it was an enraged roar.

Hearing the roar, Falcon’s lips twitched, and he then spread his wings to fly away from Loki. He glanced upward and noticed that the Quinjet, which had been hovering in the sky, seemed to have been suddenly yanked downward, inexplicably experiencing a rapid descent.

As the Quinjet descended irregularly for several dozen meters, a massive green figure burst out of it, crashing through the still-closed hatch.

Fierce and ferocious, the hulking green figure emerged from the Quinjet, its limbs extended as it locked onto Loki below. With Hawkeye injured and Tony’s Iron Man suits mostly incapacitated, Rogers had Dr. Banner turn into the Hulk to the fray.

Huff!

The Hulk’s speed upon erupting from the Quinjet was astonishing; if Falcon hadn’t evaded swiftly, he would have collided. Swooping past Falcon, the Hulk reached Loki’s location.

“Hulk!!!” Glaring fixedly at the “little guy” before him, the Hulk unleashed an ear-shattering roar.

“What kind of a monster is it?!” Loki, who had just used a major move, stared at the immense green figure that was charging at him. His brows furrowed, and he muttered under his breath.

Although the ferocity of the colossal green figure charging toward him was undeniable, Loki didn’t truly feel threatened. After all, even an overwhelming amount of firepower couldn’t breach his magical defense shield.

How could this gigantic green-skinned creature breakthrough? Loki couldn’t fathom how this being, whose only distinguishing feature seemed to be a massive pair of pants, could possess the means to penetrate his magical shield. Loki doubted that this creature had any special equipment.

Hence, when faced with the Hulk’s frenzied assault, Loki merely extended his staff forward. The faint green radiance that had previously swept aside dozens of Iron Man suits reappeared. However, this time, the radiance was significantly dimmer, casting only a faint glow around Loki.

Thud!

At the moment when the faint green radiance enveloped Loki, the Hulk’s colossal green form collided with him. It was akin to a supersonic plane crash; the faint green magical energy acted like a tangible substance, impeding the Hulk from advancing.

Nevertheless, the colossal impact force still managed to transmit through layers of magical energy, reaching Loki.

Huff, Huff!

“This doesn’t seem right!” Sensing the disturbance caused by the massive figure crashing against the outer magical energy barrier, Loki’s expression shifted.

At this point, although the Hulk’s advance had been halted by the faint green magical energy and Loki wasn’t completely defenseless. When they were around three to four hundred meters above the desert, Loki conjured the small blade that had vanished earlier into his left hand.

After casting a swift glance over the Hulk, who was now less than two meters away, the small blade in Loki’s hand disappeared again.

Whoosh!

In almost an instant, the small blade vanished from Loki’s hand and reappeared just outside the faint green magical energy barrier. It then thrust toward the Hulk’s solid chest.

Despite being aware of the tremendous strength possessed by the massive figure before him, Loki believed that his divine tool-level small blade was comparable to Thor’s God of Thunder hammer. He didn’t think that the creature’s immense stature would be enough to withstand his attack.

The small blade that had appeared outside the faint green magical energy barrier was already embedded in the Hulk’s chest in the next moment.

However, the outcome Loki anticipated— an effortless penetration of the creature’s chest— didn’t occur. Given Loki’s small blade and the immense size of Hulk, it was like a needle poking a giant.
