Chapter 233: The Formal War About to Erupt

Just after beating a biological weapon on the ground, two other weapons loaded with the same modules slowly appeared in the air.

Hulk stretched his muscles, preparing to continue the slaughter. Speaking of which, the attack power of this kind of weapon was actually quite average.

And from the appearance, it could be seen that it didn't belong to the main battle weapon; it should also carry a part of the troop transport function. After all, if the huge cavity in the middle of the weapon was just used for looking good, it would be too strange.

Just as the two weapons were gradually appearing, a shadow fell directly from the air. The air around the shadow vibrated rapidly. The moment it brushed past the biological weapon, the frequency of this vibration soared rapidly, and the biological weapon was directly shaken into a pile of fragments within a few seconds.

Korik looked up at the prisoners in front of him and stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

With a loud bang, the earth began to collapse, and the huge pit that appeared buried all the units around him. The broken mud constantly surged, and while swallowing every unit, it also completely squeezed their flesh and blood out of their bodies.

Hulk suffered an innocent disaster. After all, Korik didn't know Hulk, and in his eyes, all unfamiliar units could be counted as enemies first.

*Roar! * Hulk let out an unsatisfied roar, rushed out from the ground crack, smashed the ground block surging in front of him, and rushed directly toward Korik.

Intentional Bombing Fist!

Power was concentrated on one point of the fist. When it was thrown, it exploded completely. This was the attack that buried Abomination, and it was also a fierce strike that parted the earth of New York.

Korik was a bit surprised, raised his hand, and his right palm gripped Hulk's heavy fist. The ceaseless shockwave decomposed the power in Hulk's heavy fist into countless small pieces. After the power was dispersed and introduced into the air, Korik pressed his right hand downward and shook rapidly.

Hulk's whole body trembled constantly, as if he had been thrown into a shaker, making it difficult to gather the power in his body to counterattack.

Immediately after, Korik smashed a left fist into Hulk's abdomen. The violent shock broke the defense established by the cells, making the gaps between the cells expand rapidly.

Hulk was directly stunned by this, half-kneeling on the ground. However, with the rise of anger, a new power began to rapidly integrate the cells in Hulk's body, expelling Korik's shock power out of the body.

Hulk's combat power under normal circumstances wasn't considered a character among cosmic demon gods. He was strong because there was no upper limit. As long as the anger value accumulated enough, the objects that could beat him up in the early stage would also be rapidly narrowed in gap, and then directly achieve a reversal.

"Stop! Stop!"

Just as Korik was preparing to give Hulk a few more punches, Rogers waved his hands and ran out from the nearby building. "I said stop! Stop! Our own people! The Dragon King Temple was flooded by our own water!"

Korik urgently braked his fist and turned to look at Rogers. At this very moment, Hulk recovered control of his body, and an uppercut directly hammered Korik flying.

"Hulk! Stop!" Rogers shouted loudly.

*Roar! * Hulk roared at Rogers unsatisfied, and the scattered saliva directly gave Rogers a head wash.

Hulk was also aggrieved now. He was fine and hadn't done anything, but was suddenly backstabbed by friendly forces. Now he wasn't allowed to fight back?!

"Dr. Banner! Dr. Banner, hurry up and persuade him!" Rogers was a bit anxious. If this Hulk and Korik really fought until they were angry, it would be a huge loss whichever side was injured. If casualties appeared, the situation would directly become unmanageable.

Bruce Banner also understood this point and tried hard to appease Hulk's emotions. After promising a series of rewards, Hulk shrank back unsatisfied and returned the body to Bruce Banner.

This was because Hulk and Bruce Banner had established an intimate relationship since the last transformation. Bruce Banner had long ago changed his attitude toward Hulk; otherwise, Hulk wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Korik landed beside Rogers and rubbed his chin. Being hit by Hulk, he felt his chin was a bit crooked. "That green guy is..."

"It's another personality of Dr. Banner. Are you okay?" Rogers looked at Korik and asked.

"I'm fine," Korik waved his big hand. "Powerful enough, I like this kind of strong man. Any interest in interviewing for the Assault Team? I can go through the talent introduction channel and let him transfer to the official Asgardian Immortal Palace household registration."

"..." Rogers looked at this attitude and didn't know what to say for a while.

Bruce Banner walked over. "Thank you for your kindness, General, but we don't plan to register in other civilizations for the time being."

"What a pity." Korik was a bit regretful. He really thought Hulk was quite great. "You guys aren't injured, right? This time I was careless and got hit. There must be an expert pointing out the way for the Chitauri."

"We're fine. Is the problem on the Mountain-class side solved?" Rogers asked.

"Solved. The damage caused isn't great. What was mainly destroyed were the rest area and the interrogation area. The only thing that's a bit troublesome is that two sets of engines have small problems, which are estimated to take a few days to repair," Korik said. As he spoke, his perception spread to the surroundings. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, a screen was projected in front of him. This was the combat situation in various areas on the asteroid currently.

After clearing the enemies inside the Mountain-class, the functions of the Mountain-class also returned to normal. As an important warship of the Barbarian Assault Team, the Mountain-class had the functions of a mobile command center and a detection center.

After confirming that there were still prisoners in several areas putting up a desperate fight, Korik waved at Rogers and Bruce Banner.

After waiting for fifty meters around to be empty, Korik slowly raised his hand, and the divine power of the God of Earthquakes erupted completely. The terrifying shock made everything around Korik unable to condense into shape, not even space. From the outside, it became a strange area like a black hole.

*Pa! Boom! *

Korik suddenly closed his hands, and the huge shock spread from his palms, entering another point, triggering a violent subspace quake!

In this shock covering the entire asteroid, space suffered strong squeezing. After this squeezing was dispersed, it wouldn't smash the originally solid cosmic space, so it wouldn't cause any substantial damage to the asteroid.

However, it could destroy artificially created hidden spaces. This kind of space generally relied on the real cosmic space to be created. Now that the foundation had suffered a violent vibration, the "building" on top naturally couldn't maintain integrity.

The sound of *crack, crack* shattering was endless. After the artificial space shattered, most of the items hidden in it were torn into the invisible area and dissipated in the vast universe, while the other part shattered into pieces and fell onto the asteroid.

Korik had destroyed the prisoner's weapon arsenal in one move. Those biological weapons that were too late to be released didn't need to be released now; it was difficult for them to find a complete fragment.

After the prisoners' weapon system suffered heavy damage, the barbarians on the asteroid began to rapidly clean up the battlefield. This time, among these ten thousand Chitauri, there wouldn't be a single prisoner!

The red area representing the engagement state on the screen in front of Korik slowly turned into pieces of green areas as the cleaning progressed.

"Does this count as the battle subsiding?" Rogers, after obtaining Korik's permission, walked to his side and asked, looking at the screen.

"Only the battle here has subsided," Korik replied.

"What do you mean?" Rogers asked in return.

"During the riot, large-scale spatial fluctuations appeared in the M13 region. Eighty percent of the adaptive alarm cannons placed in that region were removed, and more than fifty percent of the detectors and limiters were also cleared..."

Korik sneered as he spoke. "A good trick of crossing the sea under the cover of heaven. These prisoners themselves are abandoned pieces, abandoned pieces to fight for landing time for their main force."

"That is to say... they broke through this defense line of ours?!" Rogers was shocked. How long had they been here? The mission hadn't been done much, and everything had failed.

"No, if the Mountain-class were paralyzed, maybe it could be counted as them breaking through a part, but now that the Mountain-class is all normal, the problem you mentioned doesn't exist," Korik explained.

"The Mountain-class has a control center for force field magic modulators inside, which can maintain the existence of the chaotic force field remotely. The M13 region is still unable to perform large-scale spatial jumps."

"Then how did they get in?" Rogers pressed.

"Moving from flat space to chaos and entering flat areas from chaotic space—the difficulty of these two is not on the same level," Korik said very firmly. "Even if that guy who brushed personal space for all the abandoned pieces takes action, in a short time, he doesn't want to break the control of the M13 region."

"Just need to wait for a period of time. Once the Mountain-class engines are repaired, we can take back the initiative. When the time comes, if they dare to cross the defense line and enter the solar system, we will directly bite their butts, attack from both sides, and let them die without a burial place!"

Rogers nodded. Korik's words made sense, but there was still a small problem. "If they take the initiative to launch an attack on us at this time? After all, the initiative is on their side now."

Korik bared his teeth. "I'm waiting for them to come. This loss, I must find it back!"

"By the way, Korik, we plan to transfer some weapons from Earth. Can you give us a place to park?" Rogers asked.

"You guys go to the backup base on the back," Korik pointed to a place on the screen map.

The side of the asteroid that had long been aimed at the outside of the solar system was called the front by Korik, which was the side facing the enemy, while the side facing Midgard was defined as the back.

The safety factor of the back was higher than the front, so there were some shelters and temporary bases.

However, in terms of firepower, the back couldn't compare to the front. All three artillery positions were on the front because the field of fire here couldn't be compared to the back.

"By the way, your movements must be fast. After the other two warships return, I will activate the defense barrier. When the time comes, the space gate won't be able to open," Korik added.

"Warships returning?"

"Hmm, without the Mountain-class mediating, the role the other two warships can play won't be great, and calling them back can also prevent being broken one by one," Korik explained.

"Then about how long until they return?"

"A few days. They are currently placing trick mines, blockading several nearby regions," Korik followed up.

Rogers nodded, indicating he understood.

After Korik finished speaking, he prepared to reorganize the team and, by the way, patrol the situation of each position. Any damage had to be repaired as soon as possible.

Just as Korik said, in the situation where the Barbarian Assault Team didn't suffer any major losses, the Chitauri choosing to bypass this defense zone and rush directly to Earth was absolutely a bad idea.

After all, the spatial jumping of the entire solar system had been locked by the Ancient One. This information actually wasn't difficult to obtain; any spaceship equipped with a jump engine could obtain it by trying once, so the Chitauri must have known it in their hearts.

Under such severe blockade, the Chitauri fleet could only advance at sub-light speed, at most with human acceleration or slight super-light speed possible by twisting distance, but the remaining distance was still enough for them to sail for half a year.

Under these circumstances, as long as the Barbarian Assault Team bit them tightly and didn't let go, the Chitauri would one hundred percent be wrapped in dumplings. As for shaking off the Barbarian Assault Team, that wasn't realistic either; knowing the location of the destination, where could they shake them off to?

Combining so many factors, Korik could be sure that the Chitauri would definitely choose to force their way through this region.

Changing positions to think, Korik felt that if it were him, not to mention sinking all three light cruisers, at least sinking one and heavily damaging one, he might choose to detour to Earth.

Under the current situation, every bit of help was worth cherishing. This was also why as soon as Rogers said he wanted to transfer armed forces over, Korik agreed immediately.

Currently, the strength comparison between the two sides was actually very unclear, but the Barbarian Assault Team was likely at a disadvantage.

In terms of mobility, the Chitauri occupied an absolute advantage; when to fight and when to stop were currently determined by them.

In terms of combat power, Korik felt it wasn't easy to say. His side had strong individual quality and a complete position defense system, but the opponent's numbers were indeed too many, and after the soldiers were implanted with control equipment, they were sufficiently fearless of death.

High-end individual combat power—although Korik didn't know who came over there and what skills they had, judging from their behavior of easily opening up temporary space for over ten thousand abandoned pieces, they were definitely also a ruthless character. Korik estimated he might be fifty-fifty?

In terms of supplies, there was no need to worry for the time being. No matter what kind of supplies, the asteroid had sufficient inventory. Every rotation, the old people wouldn't take away defensive supplies including dry food, and the newcomers would always bring a new part, so the necessary supplies here were actually very abundant.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words, everything still had to be fought before it could be said! ===== CHAPTER 234 =====
