Chapter 148: None Left Now

On the other side, the group members joined forces with the Avengers to solve the stragglers in New York City and gathered on the roof of Stark Tower.

At this time, the device that opened the portal stood on the tower, the Tesseract embedded in the center of the device continuously blooming with blue light, shooting out a blue beam of light, maintaining the energy shield around the device, as well as the portal in the sky.

Everyone gathered around the device discussing, trying to break through the shield with various means.

But unfortunately, the Tesseract's energy was too powerful; even Thor could not break through its energy protection.

After trying to no avail, Thor turned his head, looking at Loki, who was lying on the ground, unable to move under the pressure of Mjolnir, and said:

"Give up, Loki, Midgard is not a place you can covet!"

"If there is still a trace of justice in your heart, hurry up and tell us how to turn off this device!"

"I'll turn off your @￥%#!" Loki spat out Asgardian, glaring at his foolish big brother, "It's one thing for you to be blind, but are your ears deaf too?!"

"I've told you so many times, I can't turn it off, I can't turn it off!"

"That black vortex in the sky distorted the Tesseract's energy transmission. As long as it is still there, let alone me, even if Father King came in person, he absolutely could not turn off the portal device!"

Hearing Loki's words, Thor shrugged, looking at Lin Lie and He Jingfeng beside him: "Look, that's how things are. No matter how I ask, Loki is unwilling to tell me. Why don't you try?"

"Try your ￥#%!"

Loki glared at Thor, wishing he could immediately break free from Mjolnir and hit him in the face.

Lin Lie twitched his lips, pondered for a moment, and whispered: "Is there a possibility, I mean a possibility, that what your brother said is true?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Thor asserted: "I grew up with him; no one understands him better than I do. There isn't a single true word in this guy's mouth. Even if he really told me the method to turn off the device, I wouldn't believe it!"

Loki: "..."

Then why are you still asking!

Loki gritted his teeth, looking at Thor, wishing he could immediately break free from Mjolnir and hit him in the face.

"If we can solve this black hole, Dr. Erik and I might have a way to turn it off."

Tony and the now-normal Dr. Erik walked over, glancing at Lin Lie and the others: "However, I suggest waiting a bit. Your boss should still be on the other side, right?"

"..."

The group members looked at each other, and just as they were about to speak, they suddenly seemed to have received some news and looked toward the sky in unison.

In the next instant, the black vortex that had already expanded to five thousand meters in the sky suddenly stalled, then rotated in reverse rapidly, shrinking into a black dot in the blink of an eye, and then vanished without a trace.

The beam of light distorted by the black vortex returned to being straight, continuing to expand the portal in the sky.

But at this time, the scene outside the portal had changed its appearance; the originally dense black warships had all vanished, and the universe was filled with twisted metal wreckage and rippling brilliant white light.

"Where is the fleet?"

"Should be gone."

"... All gone?"

"If the Boss took action, that is indeed the case."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with hard-to-conceal shock.

Although the group members had long known Lin Yu's strength, seeing the ocean of white light spreading for who knows how many kilometers in the portal, they still couldn't help but reveal wonder.

Just at this moment, a figure stepped out of the portal riding the sea of light.

The group members all revealed joy, shouting: "Brother Lin!"

With a silver flash, Lin Yu appeared on Stark Tower.

The group members stepped forward one after another, consciously standing behind Lin Yu.

Up to this point, the people on the roof of the tower were divided into three distinct batches.

One batch was Lin Yu and the chat group members, one batch was Tony, Banner, and other Avengers, and the last batch was Thor and Loki, who hadn't yet explicitly joined the Avengers!

Looking at Thor standing and Loki lying down, Lin Yu smiled slightly.

"It seems your family dispute has been resolved."

Thor saluted with his hand on his chest: "Yes, Your Excellency!"

Lin Yu turned to look at the portal device: "Then now, only the Tesseract remains!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, walked to the portal device, raised his right hand, and tapped lightly on the energy shield.

"Crack—"

In an instant, the blue energy shield burst with cracks, actually being broken by his single tap, shattering into countless energy light points.

Just that simple?

Everyone looked at Lin Yu in shock, watching with their own eyes as he reached his entire right arm into the blue light, ignoring the energy shield that was continuously squeezing and repairing itself, and forcibly took out the Tesseract!

Losing the energy of the Tesseract, the operation of the portal device gradually ceased.

The blue energy beam dimmed and shrank, soon breaking from the root, and then completely dissipated.

At the same time, the portal in the sky lost its function and finally could not be maintained; the collapsed space surged and shrank like a fluid, finally returning to nothingness under the self-healing ability of space.

"Very good!"

Weighing the Tesseract in his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yu's face, and then he looked at everyone: "Congratulations, everyone. Through your fearless efforts, the Chitauri army has been successfully repelled, and the Battle of New York has completely come to an end."

"If you all have nothing else to do, you should go back to your own homes and find your own mothers!"

The way he said that, it's as if the Chitauri army was really repelled by us!

Tony and the others looked at each other, all with strange expressions, with countless complaints to spit out in their hearts.

S. H. I. E. L. D. agents Natasha and Hawkeye Barton looked at each other.

The former brushed her long red hair and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency..."

"No!"

Lin Yu interrupted Natasha's words without hesitation, then glanced at her: "Go back and tell that black bald guy, I have no interest in your S. H. I. E. L. D., and even less interest in Hydra!"

Once these words were out, Natasha widened her eyes slightly and couldn't help but say: "Hydra?"

Lin Yu said frankly: "That's right. After Red Skull disappeared back then, Hydra did not perish; instead, it broke into pieces and infiltrated the S. H. I. E. L. D. that had just been established."

"Today's S. H. I. E. L. D. has long been riddled with holes, infiltrated by Hydra from top to bottom."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, the previous director, Alexander, was a member of Hydra!"

What?!

Natasha and Barton's pupils shrank sharply.

The two looked at each other, both feeling that it was impossible for Lin Yu to lie about such things.

After a little thought, Natasha walked to the corner, contacted Nick Fury, and after communicating, she returned to Lin Yu and bowed deeply in the classic Japanese anime style.

"Thank you for the information provided, Your Excellency!"

"I represent S. H. I. E. L. D. in making a promise: before cleaning up the filth inside, we will absolutely not come to disturb you!"

Lin Yu said faintly: "That would be best!"

Natasha didn't care about Lin Yu's cold attitude, instead straightened up and looked at Steve: "Captain, are you interested in competing with your old opponents? We really need your strength now."

"..."

A smile appeared on Steve's face, and he said without hesitation: "Of course, this is probably the task I've been most impatient for since I woke up!"

Lin Yu looked at Steve, and his originally cold face quickly changed to a kind smile.

"Good will, I think highly of you. If you don't plan to go to heaven in the future, you can contact me through Lin Lie; I will definitely give you treatment far exceeding that of an angel!"

Treatment far exceeding that of an angel?

Steve was startled upon hearing this. Although he didn't know the gold content of this promise, this change in attitude from cold to warm still made him flattered, and he politely thanked and refused.

Lin Yu felt some regret, but still nodded and watched Steve and the three leave.

As the most righteous character in the Marvel world, he had a good impression of Steve.

Although Captain America is called Captain America, he actually often went against the government. The spirit he represents is not the country in his name, but the idealist of that era.

Pursuing freedom, not fearing power, uniting the masses...

Various traits coincide with the other side of the ocean.

This is also why many Eastern audiences like Captain America very much.

Of course, Lin Yu favored him mainly because he took a fancy to his soul.

This guy's soul is extremely dazzling; according to his grading, it is at least a gorgeous soul, possessing the terrifying qualifications to become his second-level dependent.

With such qualifications, even if rejected, Lin Yu was willing to wait for him to change his mind.

On the entire top floor of the building, except for the chat group members, only Loki and Thor understood the gold content of this promise.

Loki's face changed, and he remained silent, enduring the shock.

Daring to compete with heaven for a soul not only represents that Steve's soul is precious enough, but also proves that Lin Yu's identity is definitely not as simple as an ordinary cosmic god.

Sensing Loki and Thor's gazes, Lin Yu glanced at them.

"You two, aren't you going home yet?"

"..."

Thor hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "That, Your Excellency, the Tesseract has been a treasure of Asgard for a long time. If you don't believe me, look carefully; there is even King Odin's spell on it!"

"... Is that so?"

Lin Yu said noncommittally, immediately holding the Tesseract, and squeezed with his five fingers with force.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the shell of the Tesseract with Odin's spell shattered instantly.

Among the crystal fragments blooming with glowing blue light, a blue gem was lying there.

Lin Yu blew lightly, blowing away the fragments in his palm, put away the gem, and glanced at Thor: "None left now."

Thor: "..."

Seeing his foolish big brother still hesitating, Loki finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

He squirmed twice on the ground and cursed in a low voice: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take me away. If we don't leave, let alone the Space Stone, even the two of us will be left behind by others!"

The water on Earth is too deep; he just wants to go back and serve his sentence now, and never come again!

"..."

Thor came back to his senses, sighed long, saluted Lin Yu, and then said to the sky: "Heimdall!"

Lin Yu removed the shield against Asgard and said with a smile: "Not sending you off!"

Before the words had faded, a stream of seven-colored light descended from the sky, swallowing Thor and Loki's figures.
