Chapter 150: Returning to the Refuge Island

"Heh, whether it's true or false, the Chitauri army was repelled by you Avengers. If they dare to come again, my Brotherhood of Mutants will definitely make sure none of them leave!"

Magneto, wearing his helmet, said confidently.

After speaking, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, who were behind him, walked out silently and stood by Magneto's side, showing their stance.

"And us too!"

The X-Men side naturally said, refusing to be outdone.

With the mutant faction like this, Mr. Fantastic, Black Panther, Ant-Man, and the others did not speak, but the perseverance and determination they revealed also showed their stance.

Seeing this, Nick felt a slight sense of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he loosened his hand tightly gripping the signal device.

"Nick, what are your thoughts?" Professor Charles Xavier looked at Nick, whose expression had softened, and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Nick was silent for a while.

He turned to look at the army below the building and said thoughtfully.

"I hope the world on the other side is a backward world! Otherwise, the soldiers below won't be able to play any role at all!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at the soldiers waiting in full battle array below, and felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Indeed! If the world on the other side is a transcendent or super-technological world.

Then, the army below would not only be useless, but would likely become a burden.

Unless...

The military moves stronger heavy weapons into the New York City area! Otherwise, with just those tanks, armored vehicles, and other light and heavy weapons, Magneto alone could sweep them away! "Then why not order them to retreat? Why keep them here?"

Captain Steve asked, puzzled.

Nick did not explain, only remaining silent in response.

Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four, glanced at Nick, then frowned and asked.

"Do you want to use their sacrifice to warn the higher-ups? Or the countries of the world?"

"Who knows?"

The expressionless Nick said flatly.

After speaking, under the Captain's heavy expression, he patted his shoulder and then said to everyone.

"You all chat, I'm going to talk to the military!"

With that, he turned and left the top floor.

After Nick left, the various factions held a discussion regarding the golden gate.

Regarding this World Gate that was neither void nor real, everyone's view was unanimous: treat it with caution! No one knew what would be on the other side? To humanity, or even to the world, would it be friend or foe? "The military said they could wait another twenty days, with one month as the limit, so let's see if there will be any unusual activity from this World Gate within these twenty days!"

Captain Steve said sternly at this moment.

Looking at the golden gate with Divine Light flowing, everyone nodded in agreement.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

Of the one-month period given by the military, only this last day remained.

Afternoon.

Just as the various transcendent factions and others were bored, as they had been before.

Around the golden gate, countless soldiers began to emerge amidst the numerous armored vehicles, tanks, and heavy artillery.

This scene quickly attracted the attention of Thor and the others.

"Are they preparing to withdraw?"

In the group, one of the two Pyros, Johnny Storm, suddenly said.

"Hey, who cares, aren't we still here?"

The other mutant Pyro, John, put his arm around his shoulder and said jokingly.

"Indeed, if even we lose, then whether they are here or not makes no difference!" Quicksilver looked at the soldiers below who had started packing up, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

Just as they were discussing this, Jean Grey suddenly shouted.

"NO! Look at the World Gate, it's changed!!"

Jean's cry quickly startled everyone, and they all looked up at the World Gate in unison.

They saw.

The gate, which had originally been emitting golden Divine Light, had its inner pale golden ripples turn into the color of Chaos! Moreover, it began to rotate slowly clockwise, as if something was about to emerge from it.

It wasn't just them who discovered the anomaly; the military command post on the other side also saw the abnormality of the World Gate on their monitors.

"Stop the withdrawal, return to your original posts! Repeat! Stop the withdrawal, everyone return to your original posts immediately!"

After speaking, General Thaddeus Ross picked up the military walkie-talkie again and sneered.

"Hmph! No matter what that is, fire artillery at that damn gate right now, immediately!"

Soon.

Under his command, numerous artillery pieces and tanks turned their directions in unison and fired a shell at the rotating vortex of Chaos.

Sure enough! Under the horrified gazes of everyone, that World Gate was finally no longer void.

Upon contact with the artillery fire, most of the shells sank into the Chaos-colored vortex and disappeared into the sky.

Only a few shells exploded violently upon contacting the edge of the gate.

After the firelight dissipated, the gate remained intact in the end.

All factions, whether transcendent forces or the higher-ups of various countries.

After seeing this scene, all frowned in unison.

Seeing this, General Thaddeus Ross also frowned.

Just then, a communications officer next to him suddenly said.

"General, the higher-ups have already launched a Big Boy from the outskirts of T City!" Hearing this, General Thaddeus Ross hurriedly walked to the display screen and watched it intently! They saw.

After the second artillery volley from the New York soldiers, a super-sized missile suddenly emerged from the distant horizon! The large missile was carrying nothing less than a ten-megaton Big Boy! The appearance of this ten-megaton "Big Boy" quickly caught the attention of everyone in the superhuman factions... The soldiers below felt their hearts skip a beat when they saw this scene.

They all watched the approaching "Big Boy" with faces full of terror! They watched it without even blinking, fearing it would explode right above their heads.

Fortunately for them, they escaped a catastrophe.

The aim of that "Big Boy" was actually quite good; it plunged directly into the Chaos-colored vortex.

While they breathed a sigh of relief, they also wore grave expressions.

Because! After the "Big Boy" was launched, they waited for a while, but the Chaos-colored vortex inside that gate was still rotating clockwise as usual! It seemed that the "Big Boy" had no effect on it whatsoever! This scene immediately caused some people to turn pale with shock! "Ahem! I suddenly remembered an important matter I haven't finished, I need to return to the refuge island!" Emma Frost said with a hint of a joke.

"That would be a real pity! Beautiful Miss Emma, you can't go back!"

Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, leaned in close to her and said with deep affection.

"It is indeed a pity!"

Emma Frost said with a smile, then reached out her hand, intending to stroke his head.

Just at this moment, a jade-like hand suddenly emerged from behind the nape of Johnny Storm's neck.

Seeing that hand twist, it gave a fierce pinch right under Johnny's earlobe! "Ah!!"

"No! Su, we had an agreement, you wouldn't interfere with me!"

Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, cried out in pain.

"Sorry to interrupt you!" Invisible Woman Su emerged from behind him, and she said to Emma Frost with an apologetic look on her face.

Having said that, she pulled Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, back into the ranks of the Fantastic Four.
