"Did you envelop your underwear in Armament Haki before the explosion?" Tony asked, chuckling.

They both looked up as the portal began to close. Moments later, they saw the nuke strike the massive ship inside, resulting in a blinding explosion. The aftermath was clear—alien forces dropped lifelessly to the ground as the connection was severed.

"Yeah, but the world sure has changed. This changes everything," Tony said, gazing at the sky. "People will know we're no longer the lone dominant species out there."
Dave nodded. "Well, whatever it is, we humans are still here to fight it out," he said confidently.
Tony chuckled, leaning back. "You've got a point there."
As the two sat silently, the weight of the battle lingered in the air. The city below was in ruins, yet the sense of triumph resonated as people began to emerge from shelters, looking up to the skies with tentative hope.

Dave smirked. "Just a little trick I picked up. You'd be surprised how much knowledge is lying around Asgard if you know where to look."
