Chapter 197
New York, a ruin.
The World, silent.
For the first time, people realized that an individual's power could reach such an absolute level.
With a single move, he directly annihilated more than half of the Chitauri, including a large number of war machines, Leviathans, which was simply unimaginable.
However, after a brief silence, there was endless cheering!
Rimuru's absolute strength might make some people restless, but that was a matter for later.
At least for now, everyone hoped Rimuru would be as strong as possible!
Apart from the U.S., other countries in the World also showed a slight smile as they watched Rimuru display her divine power on the screen.
At least, they wouldn't have to send express deliveries to the U.S. anymore.
That would truly be killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of their own. Even if New York was flattened, nuclear radiation and nuclear clouds would still cause unimaginable disasters to Earth.
It was possible that Earth would become a nuclear wasteland, and everyone on the the world would be picking up bottle caps and playing survival games.
As for ordinary people, nine out of ten became fans of Rimuru.
A certain island nation was even more fanatical.
Not to mention the chuunibyou teenagers, even those 'My Lord' who claimed to have graduated from chuunibyou were all relapsing.
Not only boys, but even thousands of young girls were completely captivated by Rimuru's heroic demeanor!
Not only beautiful, but also handsome, she was simply a natural idol!
However, what happened outside New York was not something Rimuru could know.
At this moment, she held the Thunder Spear, looking disdainfully at the Chitauri behind countless spatial portals.
"This is Earth, not a place for you ugly bugs to meddle with. I give you ten seconds, get out immediately. If you don't, I will surely erase your homeworld!"
Rimuru's words were not spoken in an Earthling language; she used the second effect of [All-Purpose Perception].
It converted information into a language that others could understand.
So, every Earthling heard it in their native tongue.
And every Chitauri heard it in Chitauri!
So, every Chitauri understood!
If it were an ordinary person making such a threat, the Chitauri might not care at all.
But the one uttering these harsh words was Rimuru, the King of Jötunheimr!
She had just proven with her actions that she was fully capable of reaching the Chitauri homeworld and wiping them out in one fell swoop.
Instantly, the Chitauri, who were blocked by Rimuru alone at the wormhole entrance, all fell into chaos.
The Chitauri leader, the-other, was also trembling with fear.
Should he retreat ignominiously?
But if he retreated, Thanos My Lord would absolutely not spare him; Thanos might even personally clean house!
But if he didn't retreat...
The-other looked at Rimuru's peerless posture, gulp.
He was having a tough time!
The Avengers, watching Rimuru scare all the Chitauri with a single word, were all filled with longing.
As superhero, they possessed power unimaginable to mortals.
But seeing Rimuru at this moment, they finally knew what true power was!
Not to mention others, even Thor, who was always revered as a god, was filled with longing.
A true man should be like this!
As the future King of Asgard, the gap between him and the current Rimuru was truly vast!
Even Loki, whose mind was confused by the Mind Stone, was much clearer now.
However, just as he was about to drop the Mind Stone, a large hole was smashed through the wall of the building he was standing on, and a terrifying Hulk rushed in!
The threat from the Hulk made Loki, who had just regained a bit of consciousness, have his mind controlled by the Mind Stone again.
Loki, without hesitation, wielded the Mind Stone and attacked the Hulk.
Boom boom boom!
Powerful energy blasts struck the Hulk, but the Hulk was unharmed, as if it were just an itch.
Loki was a little scared, but a god has his own arrogance. Loki shouted, "Enough!"
"You idiot, I am a god, and you, an ant, dare not insult me."
However, before Loki could finish his sentence, the Hulk grabbed his foot, and then came a round of "windmill"!
The windmill spun and spun, bang bang bang!
The windmill spun and spun, bang bang bang!
Accompanied by a unique rhythm and melody, Loki's body constantly made intimate contact with the ground, and his mind received a "physical recalibration"!
Loki became sober, breaking free from the Mind Stone's control.
At the same time, the Hulk's Shadow was firmly imprinted into his soul—questioning life!
"Such a weak god!"
Uh, oh...
At this moment, Loki felt an urge to burst into tears.
"That's too brutal, but I like it!"
Natasha showed a brilliant smile. She was quite pleased to see Loki getting beaten.
"I got the Mind Stone!"
Captain immediately cheered, "Great, close the portal quickly!"
"Okay!"
After responding in the communication channel, Natasha turned to the Hulk and said, "Hey, big guy, give me a ride to the rooftop!"
Because of Rimuru, the Hulk in this timeline was much smarter than in the movie.
Hearing Natasha's words, the Hulk smiled, immediately put his arm around Natasha's waist, and leaped, jumping towards the rooftop.
With the Hulk's help, Natasha reached the top of Stark Tower and successfully closed the portal.
The moment the portal closed, the Chitauri still stranded on Earth all lost contact with their mothership, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.
"Success!"
Instantly, everyone around the World cheered endlessly.
Victory!
Humanity won!
Earth won!
Today was destined to be permanently recorded in the annals of human history.
In the war between humanity and extraterrestrial civilization, humanity, though weaker, defeated a nearly invincible enemy!
However, at this moment, everyone, through the screen broadcast by Aiya, saw countless missiles launched from the U.S., flying towards various parts of the World!
"What is that?"
"Is that..."
Oh, My Lord!
Those who guessed the outcome were all dumbfounded, too scared to speak.
The joy of just defeating the aliens vanished, replaced by endless fear and despair!
The U.S.'s nuclear arsenal ranked second in the World.
Its warhead count was enough to destroy the World several times over!
And now, the entire World had received an express delivery from the U.S.!
"What are the Americans doing?"
"Are they planning to flatten the entire World?"
"God, are the Americans crazy?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and those with weaker psychological resilience directly collapsed.
They had just managed to defeat the alien invasion, why, why must they die by weapons created by Earthlings themselves!
Avengers communication channel.
"Rimuru, Tony, Thor, the entire the world is under nuclear threat now. We must find a solution quickly, otherwise, the World will truly be destroyed!"
Through the earpiece, Nick Fury's anxious and desperate voice could be heard.
What?
The Avengers, who had just been celebrating their victory over the Chitauri, were now all dumbfounded.
Even Thor couldn't guarantee that he would survive a nuclear explosion!
As for Tony, his Iron Legion was completely destroyed, and the energy in his armor was less than one-tenth.
He could barely send one nuclear bomb into space, but nuclear bombs were everywhere on the the world...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Avengers all simultaneously looked towards Rimuru.
Not only them, but all seven billion people on the the world also looked towards Rimuru.
Everyone was calling out in their hearts, placing all their hope entirely on Rimuru.
Instantly, countless thoughts converged into Rimuru's mind. Rimuru seemed to hear the prayers of all humanity on the the world, and even Earth itself.
"Please!"
