Chapter 384: Black Widow's Public Declaration of War—Taylor Swift and Stone Sister Have Given Up

As the end credits rolled slowly, the 1,800 spectators in the Galaxy Theater were unable for a long time to calm down.

Scenes that had previously existed only in imagination had been perfectly brought to the silver screen by Xu Can,

and the shock and excitement were simply beyond compare!

Even after the film ended, they remained lost in after~taste, unable to pull themselves away.

Truly worthy of Xu Can!

Truly worthy of the oath he once swore!

When Xu Can first announced he would build the Marvel Cinematic Universe and forge the Chouzhelian Alliance,

many had sneered, deeming it impossible.

So many heroes, each with a different personality, different origin, different powers and effects—how could they possibly all appear in the same film?

Wouldn't that be a total mess?

Yet, as Xu Can's films were released one after another, and the full picture of "The Avengers" truly appeared before everyone's eyes,

they finally realized Xu Can had been telling the truth all along!

He wasn't bragging at all!

Recalling the moment the original Avengers assembled just now—that heart-pounding scene shot straight from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head, making one's scalp tingle!

Many spectators' hands were still trembling, their hair standing on end, goosebumps all over!

……

After the Avengers assembled, the Battle of New York fully entered its turnaround phase!

Six heroes with differing abilities fighting together multiplied their destructive power!

Captain America and Iron Man had the shield-laser reflection,

Lei Shen and Iron Man had the lightning-charged cannon,

Lei Shen and Captain America had the shield-slam shockwave!

Even mortal Black Widow and Hawkeye could coordinate with the other heroes to destroy the Chitauri flyers and the Leviathan beasts!

As for the Hulk, all it took was one line from Captain America.

"Hulk, smash."

Smash and be done with it!

The Hulk fully entered destruction mode, tearing the Chitauri army to pieces, showing off his destructive power to the fullest!

Finally, after temporarily suppressing the Chitauri horde, the six heroes simultaneously found Loki.

The trickster god Loki feared no one in a 1v1, but facing so many, he could not hold out alone.

"Don't come any closer—I'm a god…"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The trickster god Loki was grabbed by the ankles by the Hulk and beaten to a pulp.

"What a weak god."

No way around it—extreme physical output is rather effective against mages.

Seeing the endless stream of Chitauri troops pouring through the Chuansong Sect, they soon discovered the Chitauri's secret:

these warriors had no will of their own, all remotely controlled, like remote-controlled soldiers, endless and inexhaustible.

To wipe them out completely, the Chitauri mothership had to be destroyed.

The human high command sensed something was wrong and attempted to use a nuclear bomb to destroy New York.

At the critical moment, Iron Man intercepted it, carrying the nuke through the Chuansong Sect and flying out into outer space.

In the end, the bomb destroyed the mothership, and Iron Man skirted the gates of the underworld, returning to Earth at the brink of life and death.

The world-ending crisis was finally resolved, the trickster god Loki taken into custody,

the invasion plan of the big boss behind it all temporarily foiled, and the film reached its grand happy ending.

The Tesseract and Loki were taken back to Asgard by Lei Shen.

The Mind Stone was placed under S. H. I. E. L. D.'s control,

while the other characters retired underground, awaiting the next summons.

They became superstars celebrated the world over, the great heroes who saved New York!

The Stark Tower, STARK, was left with only the letter "A," and a natural progression turned it into the Avengers headquarters.

On the surface, all seemed calm, but in truth, danger lurked on every side.

"They'll be back," Nick Fury stood with his hands clasped behind his back,

"We need them."

The audience in the theater also knew the mastermind behind it all still existed!

Sure enough, after the end credits, the audience was rewarded with a post-credits stinger!

In the dark cosmos, a cloaked figure reported on the incident.

"Earth is not the helpless ant we thought—someone stepped forward and stopped us."

"My Lord, why didn't you take the field yourself?"

That suppressed figure said in a deep voice:

"There is a special kind of being on Earth; provoking them would not be wise. However… when the time is right, I will act myself!"

That figure rose and slowly turned its head.

The audience first gasped, then could not help getting excited!

"Thanos!!!"

Outsiders who didn't know what was going on were still dumbfounded, while seasoned Marvel fans have already gone wild with excitement!

Thanos!

The mastermind behind it all is indeed Thanos!

Could it be that *Avengers 2* is about to face off against Thanos?

*The Avengers 1* has only just been released, and the audience is already impatient to see *Avengers 2*!

The eager ones wish they could travel to the end of 2010, since *Avengers 2* is reportedly set to premiere at year's end!

The film ends!

……

Until the end credits had completely finished rolling,

the second post-credits scene concluded, with the Avengers sitting in a barbecue restaurant eating grilled meat with blank expressions,

then the image lingered on the Xinghe Entertainment logo,

the theater lights came on,

the entire audience rose to their feet once more, erupting into the warmest, most heartfelt applause!

It lasted nearly three minutes — one of the longer applause moments in Xu Can's films,

some viewers' hands had gone numb from clapping, their throats hoarse from shouting, yet they kept cheering on.

For anyone who had never encountered any Marvel film or Marvel comic,

this was perhaps a fine commercial blockbuster, one that could spark interest in Marvel.

But for the Marvel fans who had followed the films all along, as well as the seasoned comic readers of many years,

*The Avengers* was absolutely the most perfect gift Xu Can had presented to the Marvel fans!

They wished they could fall to their knees before Xu Can on the spot and worship him!

When the principal creators took the stage for the interactive segment, the entire audience and media could no longer sit still — a dense black sea of raised hands like a forest, truly a magnificent sight!

Even an experienced host would rarely witness such an enthusiastic scene!

"I'm so thrilled! This is the greatest film I've ever seen! As a Marvel fan, I'm truly grateful to Xu Can! Grateful to every member of the creative team!"

The fan who was picked was so excited he was nearly in tears; after barely managing to steady his emotions, he began to ask his question,
