Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 177:



[500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1000PS!]

Tony maintained a facade of calmness as he engaged in small talk with Loki, all while making his way to the bar in the living room. Taking advantage of Loki's distraction, he discreetly put on the wristband that controlled the Mark VII armor.

Eventually, Loki grew impatient and prepared to control him using the Mind Scepter.

However, when the Mind Scepter touched Tony's chest, there was a crisp clink-the scepter had struck the arc reactor embedded in his chest.

The smug smile on Loki's face gradually froze.

With a ding, Loki tapped the scepter against Tony's chest again. After confirming that it failed once more, he incredulously remarked, "I've never missed before."

Tony tried to console him, "It's natural to have an off day. Alright, don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone has their-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Loki, now embarrassed and furious, grabbed Tony by the neck and threw him to the ground.

"Jarvis, what are you waiting for!" Tony called out as he struggled to get up.

Loki approached and grabbed Tony's chin, sneering, "You will all kneel before me!"

Tony, in a panic, shouted, "Activate, quickly!"

Jarvis had just activated the Mark VII, but before Tony could suit up, Loki grabbed him and hurled him out of the tower.

With a crash, Tony smashed through the glass, plummeting toward the ground below.

Fortunately, just before impact, the Mark VII armor successfully attached itself to him, fitting perfectly as he fell.

Tony flew back to the top of the tower and fired a laser, knocking Loki down.

"Huh?"

At that moment, the device connected to the Tesseract activated!

A blinding blue-white beam shot straight into the sky!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The clouds began to part, revealing a void that led to who knows where-a portal!

On the other side of the portal, the Chitauri commander and the Chitauri soldiers saw the suddenly opened gateway and felt a surge of excitement.

In the next instant, one ship after another flew into the open portal.

As they crossed the portal, they were met with bright sunlight and a skyline filled with towering buildings.

The sound of ships piercing through the air echoed over New York City.

Watching this, Tony said solemnly, "Come on, army!"

With that, he flew into the sky without hesitation, heading straight for the approaching Chitauri.

Meanwhile, nearby, Kaecilius and the other sorcerers also witnessed this unfolding event. Their eyes were filled with shock and awe.

"The prophecy of the Master has come true!" Kaecilius murmured reverently.

Beside him, a burly sorcerer named Perry also spoke with reverence, "The Demon God said Earth would meet its destined fate and be invaded, and it's actually happening?!"

"Is this Earth's destined fate?"

"Invasion, so that's what it meant?"

"An alien invasion?"

At this moment, Yossis and the others, who had once doubted the Demon God's power and even had some lingering doubts until just moments ago, were now filled only with shock.

What was happening before their eyes was precisely what the Demon God had predicted! How unbelievable!

At the same time, they couldn't help but recall the Demon God's next words.

A war would begin a war with widespread consequences. Would Earth experience an

extinction-level event? Widespread consequences?

Extinction-level event?

What were those? Would they really happen?

"Is this battle in New York City what the great Demon God referred to as the extinction-level event?" Yossis wondered aloud.

"Probably," Perry nodded, convinced.

At that moment, the other sorcerers also believed that the extinction-level event mentioned

by the great Demon God must be what was happening now.

As they watched, Tony soared into the sky, destroying one flying vessel after another.

This scene was also noticed by the citizens of New York.

After all, anyone who wasn't blind could see the energy beam shooting from the top of the Stark Tower, the space portal above it, and the flying vessels carrying the Chitauri.

One by one, pedestrians stopped in their tracks, and cars came to a halt as everyone looked up

at the sky.

"Oh my God..."

"I feel like I'm dreaming..."

"What's going on, is this the end of the world?"

Screams erupted, and some pedestrians, sensing the danger, began to flee in panic.

As they ran, the Chitauri, piloting small flying crafts, began their attack.

Energy blasts were fired from the crafts.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Cars and pedestrians were blown away, with blood and flames spreading from the Stark Tower as the epicenter.

While the screams of the crowd filled the air, Syd, hiding in a dark corner, suddenly noticed a blue energy blast heading his way, along with a Chitauri craft rapidly approaching.

Clearly, the Chitauri pilot had spotted him.

Human, die! The Chitauri pilot's heart was filled with a sadistic pleasure.

To him, it was just another Earthling about to die at his hands.

The thought made him exhilarated.

As the craft sped toward him, Syd sighed.

In the Chitauri pilot's stunned gaze, Syd reached out and effortlessly caught the blue energy

blast.

Throughout the entire process, aside from a slight sting in his palm, the energy blast didn't even break his skin.

The Chitauri pilot was dumbfounded.

Is this the fragile Earthling?

"Who am I? Where am I?" At that moment, the Chitauri pilot felt only confusion.

But in the next second, he had no time to think about anything else, as a beam of sunlight descended from the sky, piercing through his chest and destroying his craft in the blink of an

eye.

The Chitauri pilot was left in shock.

Boom! The craft exploded mid-air.

Seeing this, Syd felt even more exasperated.

Is this a joke?

Suddenly, he looked up at the Stark Tower in the distance.

There, Loki, clad in his horned armor and wielding the Mind Scepter, appeared on the tower's balcony. At the same time, a figure holding a hammer flew up to meet him-Thor.

"Loki, shut down the Tesseract, or I'll destroy it!" Thor shouted in warning.

"You can't, it's unstoppable now. The only thing left is war!" Loki replied with a wide grin.

"Alright then!" Thor, now furious, launched himself at Loki.

The two began to fight.

From afar, watching the battle, Syd paused for a moment, casually dodging a stray bullet as

he quietly stepped further into the shadows to avoid being noticed by Thor and Loki.

It wasn't his time to step into the fray just yet...
