Deception and Truth
The scepter did not resist; instead, the brilliance of the Mind Stone became more subdued.
Held in Kansan's hand, the scepter was only slightly heavier than an equal volume of steel, and she didn't feel any strength from it.
"Heh!"
Glancing back at the battlefield, both Loki and Thor were unconscious. In the end, they both fought fiercely, and even many of the Cerritan bio-warships had suffered.
It was unknown if Loki had enhanced his own strength so much with the power of the Mind Stone. Coupled with his defensively invincible duplication technique, even Kansan might have faced some challenges.
She didn't need to intervene now, but Kansan didn't dare to be careless. The spiritual power within her slowly flowed, and those mysterious eyes had never left this place from the beginning.
As soon as she returned to Ambrella and retrieved the Universal Cube, she could choose to return.
The magnetic field diagram rotated for the second time, and the effect was remarkable. Almost all of the hundreds of bio-warships fell! The Cerritan army inside them was completely annihilated.
The magnetic field interference once again blocked the signal. It was estimated that it would take some time before the Cerritan fleet sent someone over to die again.
Kansan rubbed her delicate chin, looking towards the sky above New York. If the teleportation channel weren't too small, the opponents would probably have swarmed in!
"Red Queen, are you ready?"
"Expected in half a minute, the virtual psychic power will cover the western hemisphere, providing you with about ten seconds."
"That's enough."
Kansan spoke in a deep voice, gripping the Mind Stone scepter in her right hand, with intricate magical patterns flashing across it!
Her boots stepped on the battlefield, and apart from a few buildings, New York City had already turned into ruins.
Many citizens were unable to evacuate in time and were either covered by debris or cruelly killed by the Cerritan army.
Many powerful news organizations were now gathered on the outskirts of New York. They couldn't advance any further, as the magnetic field interference instantly destroyed their instruments when they entered.
Various reports flooded the airwaves. The time of the war was not as long as imagined, and many planes that were still flying halfway were directly diverted to nearby cities.
Among them, Pepper Potts was on one of the private planes, staring at the screen, continuously praying for Tony.
"According to reports, New York has been invaded by an unknown force, and the entire city has almost fallen. There are also rumors that the United States dispatched two divisions, but there is currently no news."
A reporter stood in front of the camera, with the background being the ruined New York.
The signal flickered from time to time. This was the best location they had found.
Zooming in with the camera, people could vaguely see the wreckage of bio-warships!
The public exclaimed in front of the TV, followed by endless fear!
The host's earpiece flashed, nodded in response, and boarded a helicopter to fly to the edge.
They couldn't get close, but with the help of a professional camera, people could vaguely see Ambrella Headquarters standing in the center of New York!
Before, it was joked by the public as the other Twin Towers of New York, but it had now become ruins. Not far away, there was a pitch-black crater, obviously a remnant from the explosion of Stark Industries' giant energy reactor.
The footage flashed, and the camera re-focused on the reporter, a woman dressed neatly with a determined expression.
"According to the latest information, the forces participating in this battle, in addition to the unidentified numbered army, include a small team composed of super-heroes."
"They are Captain America, Steve Rogers; billionaire Iron Man, Tony Stark; Ambrella's little princess, Kansan Brooks. There are still several people in the team, but due to confidentiality, we do not know."
As people in front of the TV were muttering, they heard the reporter say again, "Among them, Tony Stark is suspected to have been seriously injured in the battle and has now been escorted out of New York. Captain Rogers is currently conducting a rescue operation based on a handwritten map provided by the military."
"According to information brought back by wounded soldiers, we have confirmed the driver of 'Nightmare' to be Kansan Brooks."
The female reporter's voice was somewhat somber. "In peacetime, I might have been excited enough to throw a party upon hearing this news. But now, I don't want to let a little girl bear the burden of war, even if she is wearing armor."
"We cannot enter New York; the city is severely affected by magnetic interference, suspected to be caused by the military's use of new weapons. 'Nightmare' and Iron Man both wear metal armor, and Mr. Stark has been critically injured and urgently transported for treatment. However, we have no information about Brooks."
The people watching in front of the TV were emotionally moved by the reporter, and those families healed by 'Dawn' were constantly praying!
At this moment, regardless of personal beliefs, everyone was praying for Kansan's safety.
On the internet, from why Ambrella Headquarters stood tall to whether 'Nightmare' had fallen, various pieces of information rapidly filled the screens.
Many people spontaneously came to protest in front of the government.
The same female reporter in the helicopter suddenly sounded an alarm. The remaining clouds over New York were rolled up!
"Oh my God!" The usually mature and calm reporter exclaimed in fear. "Look, quickly, what is that?!"
The camera swayed back and forth, various voices mingling together, and the signal was extremely unstable!
Over the skies of New York, in the area where the teleportation channel wrapped in a blue glow was, numerous bio-warships poured in successively!
Just this alone was not enough to shock the hearts, but the blue vortex was constantly expanding! As if there were invisible hands tearing it apart on both sides!
"Boom!~"
The air trembled, and the pilot couldn't bear the pressure. The helicopter began to move away from the city's edge, gradually descending.
However, standing on the ground, this scene, like an epic movie, was enough to make people feel awe-struck!
Fine blue light columns connected the top of Ambrella Headquarters to the sky!
At this moment, the energy became violent, turning into a tornado and rapidly growing!
Except for Ambrella Headquarters at the center of the energy storm, the rest of the buildings were ruthlessly attacked in succession!
The half-ruined Stark Tower was crushed into debris, then ground into powder in the raging energy!
Kansan, with her Beta-level psychic power close to the brink of exhaustion, looked pale. The stunning girl, clad in the divine armor, stood at the center of the storm!
After covering the western hemisphere with the Red Queen, Kansan rapidly mobilized her psychic power to attach to it!
Now, the Mind Stone scepter in her hands was nothing more than a high-quality counterfeit created by the Red Queen!
It was endowed with 'reality' by the main god, which once again left Kansan's already scarce cycle points depleted.
Even if Thanos himself came, he wouldn't be able to distinguish between the authenticity of these two Infinity Stones!
At the teleportation channel, space was squeezed by the violent energy source. The sky was like a mirror, and cracks spread continuously around it!
The Cerritan fleet's mothership, as well as the two flagships from both sides, finally revealed their fierce heads in the channel!
