Chapter 1123 - Ch: 91-92

Chapter 91 Loki appears, Lynn fights Black Dwarf!

Hearing Lynn say this, Nick Fury frowned and said, "You mean, you called some people?"

"You're not the only one with friends."

With that, Lynn turned and left.

Watching Lynn leave, Hill came to Fury's side: "It seems your idea of bringing the Avengers to the forefront and giving this World some confidence has fallen through."

"No, quite the opposite!"

Hearing Hill's words, Nick Fury said: "We can use this opportunity to let other forces in the Universe know that our Earth is not to be trifled with!"

When the Kun-style Fighter Jet carried Lynn and others to Manhattan.

At this moment, the top of Stark Industries was empty, with no Tesseract or anything similar.

"You guessed wrong?"

Seeing nothing on top of Stark Tower, Tony turned to Lynn and said, "Don't be discouraged, after all, people aren't machines, who doesn't make mistakes? At most, next time—"

Before Tony Stark could finish, Peter Parker immediately exclaimed, "Look!"

Following Peter's finger, everyone quickly saw the originally empty rooftop.

At this moment, a blue energy suddenly appeared, shooting straight into the sky.

With the appearance of this energy, the instrument containing the Tesseract and Dr. Selvig also appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes.

"Damn it, we saw nothing just now, why…"

"Loki must have used magic to deceive our eyes."

Hearing Tony's surprised voice, Barton, having organized his arrows, said: "I wouldn't be surprised by any incredible ability that guy displays!"

As the Kun-style Fighter Jet landed, Lynn and the others disembarked from the fighter.

Seeing the curious public on the street taking photos, Lynn said to Steve: "The FBI and NYPD will be here soon, Steve, you take them to evacuate the surrounding public!"

"We need to find a way to control the upcoming war within a few surrounding blocks, otherwise, the entire New York…"

Lynn's words were only halfway out when the people around him, who were originally taking photos of Lynn, Steve, and the blue energy in the sky with their phones, suddenly cried out in alarm.

Everyone looked up and saw a dark hole cracking open in the sky.

Then, countless Chitauri flying on airships flew out of the wormhole.

Seeing this scene, Lynn said: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony Stark immediately controlled his armor to take off, and dozens of miniature missiles from the armor's shoulders attacked the Chitauriairships.

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

Watching the fire ignited by the explosions in the air, the people on the street immediately screamed and fled in all directions.

When the FBI and NYPD arrived at the scene, intense fighting had already broken out.

Quickly getting out of the car, Sean looked at the continuous stream of Chitauri flying out of the wormhole.

Then he said to Alice: "Alice, today won't be the end of the World, will it!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

She raised her submachine gun and fired a burst at the Chitauri on the street, then said to Sean: "Advance towards the boss!"

The two, along with the action team members, advanced towards Lynn's direction while firing at the Chitauri on the street.

In front of them, Lynn stepped on a car and leaped into the air, directly pulling down a Chitauri airship by force.

Looking at the Chitauri roaring at him with weapons, Lynntwisted his neck without hesitation.

"Boss, we're here!"

Alice said, sidling up to Lynn and firing her gun.

"Alice, Sean, your task now is not to fight, but to cooperate with Steve to evacuate people, letting those running around seek refuge in buildings, shops, subways, and other places."

At this point, Lynn looked at the two and whispered: "Only save those who can be saved!"

"Understood!"

Hearing Lynn's command, Alice and Sean immediately nodded.

Although Lynn didn't care how many U.S. people died, he still had to put on a show, especially with countless people hiding in buildings and taking photos with their phones.

After giving the two their orders, Lynn teleported to the side of dozens of Chitauri in front of him.

In the air.

Accompanied by a lightning strike, Thor, the Thor, swinging his hammer, flew to Lynn's side.

With his hammer constantly spinning, and with the cooperation of the two, dozens of Chitauri were directly eliminated.

"Lynn, where's Loki?"

Looking at the Chitauri still continuously descending from the sky, Thor asked Lynn.

"It's still unclear for now; Loki hasn't appeared since the battle began!"

Saying that, Lynn pointed to the clock tower not far away: "Thor, fly to the top of that and summon lightning, give these alien bugs a shock!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Thor nodded, then swung his hammer and flew towards the iron tower!

Seeing the clouds thicken instantly, a wide bolt of lightning struck down from the sky towards the Chitauri.

Lynn kicked away a Chitauri trying to ambush him, then glanced in the direction of Stark Tower before rushing straight inside.

He quickly arrived at the top floor of the building, seeing Dr. Selvig's eyes glowing blue, his gaze fixed on the impulse in the air.

Lynn grabbed him directly and asked, "Where is Loki?"

"Anywhere, haha, this is the truth, the truth will appear in every corner of the World!"

Listening to Selvig say this, Lynn casually released him.

To shut down this device, only the Soul Scepter could do it.

According to Hill, the Soul Scepter was hidden very secretly, even the room's door lock was undamaged, yet the Soul Scepter inexplicably appeared in Loki's hand.

"FUXX!"

Lynn really wanted to ask what Loki, God of time, wanted to do!

Confirming that Loki was not inside Stark Industries, Lynnreleased Dr. Selvig, then looked at Natasha, who was continuously firing from the Kun-style Fighter Jet: "Natasha, keep an eye out for Loki's whereabouts."

"Once Loki appears, notify me immediately; I always feel he must have other schemes!"

On the balcony of the New York Sanctum Sanctorum.

Watching her teacher use magic to continuously cut down the Chitauri airships flying overhead.

Stephen Strange stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, how did you know aliens would invade Earth?"

Casually dealing with a Chitauri that leaped towards them, Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi smiled: "Because of the Time Stone!"

Saying that, Ancient One cast a magical gesture to open the Eye of Agamotto, then took out the green-glowing Infinity Stone inside and said: "The Time Stone is one of the six Infinity Stones."

"The one who possesses it can see the past and the future."

"Just like the battle happening now, if it were according to the original timeline, then it should happen in the future."

Hearing her teacher say this, Strange was still a bit puzzled: "Teacher, do you mean that the future is not unchangeable?"

"Of course."

With a casual wave of her hand, a long river of time appeared before Strange.

"This is the timeline of our World; it's like a river, if undisturbed by external forces, this river will flow normally."

Saying that, Ancient One gently drew a line on the long river of time, and a new branch appeared before Strange: "But ever since the appearance of one person more than twenty years ago, the fixed timeline was broken."

"This led to an extra branch in the timeline, although this branch is just a ripple on the timeline, what is destined to happen in the future will still happen."

"But as the person who caused the time branch becomes stronger and stronger, he will affect the future, and even change the future!"

At this point, Ancient One put the Time Stone back into the Eye of Agamotto, then smiled at Strange: "Just like now, you were originally supposed to have incurable hands due to a car accident."

"Then you would slowly embark on the path of learning mystic magic, but now, you are already by my side learning mystic magic."

Hearing Ancient One say this, Strange curiously asked, "Teacher, who is the person you are talking about?"

"Lynn Hall, Deputy Director of the New York FBI!"

"It's him?"

Hearing his teacher's answer, Strange pondered for a moment: "So, does his appearance make the future better or worse? And why don't we step up to deal with those aliens?"

"Whether the future turns out good or bad, you will have to see for yourself."

Smiling at Strange, Ancient One turned and looked at Lynn, who had leaped down from Stark Tower onto a Chitauri airship, then said: "That is your future."

"Also, you don't belong in this battle, Strange, perhaps compared to the Avengers, you are more suited for the Illuminati!"

On the battlefield.

Casually throwing down the Chitauri from the airship, Lynn, wielding a wolf-tooth club nearly one and a half meters long and weighing almost a thousand pounds, continuously leaped and teleported through the air.

It must be said, the wolf-tooth club acquired from that big guy was truly useful.

Whenever Lynn teleported from one airship to another, and the wolf-tooth club in his hand smashed down heavily, it would cause the airship beneath his feet to explode.

Even when the wolf-tooth club was swung out, its sharp mace head could pierce through the Chitauri in front of him and send them flying hundreds of meters away.

It could be said that the wolf-tooth club in Lynn's hand was like a great killing machine, meaning anyone it touched would die.

As more and more Chitauri flew out of the wormhole, the battlefield was quietly changing.

Although Lynn, Thor, and Tony could easily wipe out large numbers of Chitauri.

However, the number of Chitauri was increasing, even exceeding the battlefield scope Lynn had set.

"FUXX, these damned alien bugs!"

A palm energy cannon shattered a Chitauri airship, looking at the ever-increasing numbers of Chitauri, like a locust plague.

Tony Stark immediately said: "Lynn, the alien bugs are getting more and more numerous now, if we can't close the wormhole, then even if we die of exhaustion, we won't be able to eliminate all the bugs!"

Listening to Tony's voice in his earpiece, Lynn used a wolf-tooth club to send a Chitauri's head flying and said: "Don't worry, the Illuminati's support will arrive soon!"

Just as he was speaking, the sky suddenly became overcast, and then dozens of lightning bolts struck down towards the Chitauri.

Seeing this scene, Thor, who had just smashed a Chitauriaway with his hammer, was stunned for a moment.

When he clearly saw the woman standing in the air controlling the lightning, he exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect there to be someone on Earth who can wield lightning."

"Who is she? Although her lightning power is a bit weak, it's still very good!"

Saying that, Thor raised Mjolnir and summoned lightning to strike the Chitauri in front of him.

Storm in the air saw this scene and landed beside Thor: "You can also control the power of lightning? How come I didn't know there was a Mutant like you?"

"Mutant? No, no, I'm not an Earthling, I am the son of Odin, the first in line to the throne of Asgard, Thor, the Thor, who are you?"

Controlling a hurricane to surround the charging Chitauri, Storm raised her head and said: "Ororo, Mutant Academyteacher, X-Men, Illuminati — Storm!"

Just as she was speaking, a motorcycle directly crashed into a Chitauri who was preparing a sneak attack with an energy gun, and Logan, with a cigar in his mouth, said to Storm: "Ororo, now is not the time for chatting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Logan casually tossed his cigar, then raised his Adamantium claws, ready to charge into the Chitauri.

A laser beam swept across from a distance, and hundreds of Chitauri on the street were cut into several pieces by the laser energy.

Seeing this, Thor, holding his hammer, pointed at Cyclopsnot far away and asked, "Is he one of yours too?"

"Scott Summers, Mutant Academy teacher, X-Men, Illuminati—Cyclops!"

Facing Thor, Ororo said proudly with a smile.

"Illuminati? The Illuminati founded by Lynn? Since he has team members as capable as you, why didn't he send you to that mothership earlier?"

Facing Thor's inquiry, Ororo chuckled, then flew into the air and summoned lightning to strike the Chitauri.

"Did I say something wrong again?"

Scratching his head, Thor swung his hammer and flew to the other side.

Jean Grey, controlling the Phoenix Force, landed beside Lynn, looking at the dozens of meters around him, where there were Chitauri bodies shattered by maces, heads sent flying, and even pieces of Chitauri scattered everywhere.

Jean Grey suppressed the urge to vomit, no longer looking at the bloody, hellish battlefield, and said to Lynn, "Aside from those not good at combat, all members of the Illuminati and X-Men have arrived."

"What do we do next?"

On the New York battlefield!

Logan pierced a Chitauri's heart with his Adamantiumclaws and casually spat out the blood that splashed into his mouth.

Turning his head, he saw Spider-Woman, who had picked up a gun from somewhere and was shooting at the alien bugs, so he rushed forward to help.

Wielding his claws, he harvested the lives of one Chitauriafter another, and soon the Chitauri around Gwen were easily killed by the two of them.

"You're very good!"

After kicking a Chitauri's head away, Logan looked at Gwen and said, "You're much more reliable than that Spider-kid just now."

"Damn it, can these alien bugs invading Earth even be considered people?"

Hearing Logan say that, Gwen understood what he meant.

According to Peter Parker's personality, he prefers to control his enemies, or make them lose the ability to resist.

Instead of directly killing enemies.

Gwen didn't want to over-dispute Peter's ideals and principles.

After all, everyone is an individual.

"Your claws look very sharp."

Looking at the Adamantium claws gleaming coldly in the sunlight, Gwen said.

"They're good, but I think if you knew how they came to be, you definitely wouldn't envy them!"

Hearing Logan say that, Gwen casually threw out an electrode.

Watching the powerful Current cause the recently landed Chitauri to twitch and fall, Gwen pointed ahead and said, "Is that also one of your X-Men?"

Seeing a large group of Mutants suddenly appear ahead, Logan frowned and said, "Damn it, I didn't expect Magneto to bring the Brotherhood of Mutants!"

In the sky, countless Chitauri flew out densely from the wormhole.

But before they could even land, Magneto's figure appeared before them.

Raising both hands to release magnetic field energy, under Magneto's attack, the Chitauri airships gradually began to twist and deform.

With the airships destroyed, countless Chitauri also fell like dumplings from a hundred meters in the air.

"Mere alien bugs, daring to invade Earth?"

Magneto, wearing his helmet, sneered, his hands gently rotating, and the manipulated airships instantly exploded.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sky-obscuring explosion flames seemed to cover the entire sky above Manhattan.

Countless Chitauri who had just emerged from the wormhole in airships didn't even have time to dodge before they were blown to smithereens by the violent explosion.

Looking at the sky covered by the explosion flames, people hiding in shops, cafes, and other buildings cheered.

At first, upon seeing those ugly and Strange aliens, everyone was terrified and desperate, believing it was the end of the World.

Even some timid people cried as they sent farewell messages to their families.

Later, when Lynn and Captain America arrived and counterattacked those alien bugs, these people saw a glimmer of hope in their despair.

Now, the members of the Illuminati, X-Men, and even the Brotherhood of Mutants they knew had arrived.

Especially seeing the sky-obscuring explosion in the air, burying countless alien bugs, the long-suppressed despair finally erupted at this moment.

Some people even raised their arms and shouted, "Long live Earth!"

Listening to the people behind him, who had just been in despair but were now cheering deafeningly.

Sean dug at his ear, then said to Alice, "Did they forget what Magneto did in New York before?"

"At that time, they utterly loathed and feared Magnetoand his group!"

Listening to Sean, Alice, holding a submachine gun, said, "Don't look at them cheering for Magneto now; after this war ends, they'll still fear and loathe him as before."

"At most, they'll just say that Magneto once led the Brotherhood of Mutants to participate in this Earthdefense war, and that's about it."

Saying that, Alice looked at Sean and asked, "Did you capture the boss's heroic posture?"

"Of course!"

Facing Alice's question, Sean shrugged: "Barbara came with us, whether it was the boss leaping in the air to slay alien bugs despite the danger."

"Or the boss, holding a mace, facing hundreds of ferocious aliens, charging forward resolutely to fight."

"Or the boss, in danger, still rescuing civilians on the street—all of this was clearly filmed by Barbara."

"Not only that, even the surveillance was controlled by Joey, and it has captured the boss's brave and fearless spirit, his willingness to die for this country and its people."

At this point, Sean raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What great political capital, wouldn't it be a shame not to film it?"

"Besides, the members of the Illuminati and us two also got quite a few rescue shots with the boss. I'm going to ask Joey to edit a clip for me, then take it back to show my girlfriend."

Hearing Sean say that, Alice asked curiously, "This is the boss's promotion capital for us, what good is it to take it back to show your girlfriend?"

"Hehe..."

Sean gave Alice a lewd smile and then stopped talking!

On the rooftop.

After freeing Dr. Selvig from control, Professor X looked up at the sky full of flames, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

His old friend had finally arrived.

Perhaps sensing his old friend's presence, Magneto flew from the sky to the top of Stark Tower.

"Charles."

"Eric."

Looking at Magneto, who had landed in front of him, Professor X controlled his wheelchair to move forward and smiled, "I didn't expect you to come."

"Charles, Earth is also ours, the Mutants'."

"Uh, I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but I don't think now is the time for pleasantries."

Casually throwing the Chitauri he had choked off the building, listening to the falling Chitauri's screams.

Lynn walked up to Professor X and asked, "Professor, have you found Loki's whereabouts?"

"He's not in New York!"

Facing Lynn's question, Professor X shook his head, "I haven't found any trace of him in New York."

Hearing Professor X say that, Lynn frowned.

The Battle of New York, and Loki, one of the main characters, wasn't in New York?

Then where did he go?

Lynn looked up at the wormhole from which Chitauriwere continuously emerging and had a guess.

Perhaps, Loki was currently inside the wormhole!

Thinking of this, Lynn looked at Magneto and extended his hand, "Mr. Eric, thank you for coming to help."

"You're welcome."

Shaking hands with Lynn, Magneto said, "I won't let these damned alien bugs pollute the Earth that belongs to Mutants in the future. Also, how is Lorna doing now?"

"Not bad!"

Facing Magneto's inquiry, Lynn said, "After this Battle of New York ends, if you want to meet Lorna, then I can arrange it, of course, depending on whether she is willing."

With that, Lynn, holding his mace, leaped directly from Stark Tower onto a Chitauri airship!

"Tony, these alien bugs' piloting skills are stiff, you can try making a few more turns!"

Listening to Clint Barton's message, Tony Stark, with pursuers behind him, replied, "Received!"

Leading the pursuers behind him, Tony Stark flew through the air, constantly weaving through the surrounding buildings.

Listening to the explosions as the airships behind him crashed into buildings, Tony Stark controlled his armor to stop, "I thought their technology was so good."

"I should have waited!"

Watching Lynn jump from Stark Tower onto an airship, throw the Chitauri off, and then actually control the airship to fly towards the wormhole.

Tony Stark immediately controlled his armor to quickly pursue.

Catching up to Lynn, Tony Stark frowned and said, "Lynn, what do you want to do?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Loki should be inside the wormhole!"

"So you want to rush into the wormhole?"

Hearing Tony's tone rise a few notches, Lynn looked at him in surprise, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Uh..."

Hearing Lynn's words, Tony Stark knew he had misjudged.

Raising his hand, his palm repulsor blast shattered the airship blocking his way above, "I thought you were going to rush into the Universe and sacrifice your life to end this war."

"If you really do that, maybe I'll invite all the actresses in Hollywood to mourn you at your tombstone!"

Lynn gave Tony the middle finger, then looked at the Chitauri airships above, just about to attack.

The next second, a hundred-meter-long giant beast flew out of the wormhole.

"Oh my God, is that the Leviathan beast from the Bible? Damn it, shouldn't the Leviathan beast be a sea monster?"

Seeing the Chitauri Leviathan beast appear, Tonyimmediately exclaimed.

And Lynn, looking at the giant beast above, was also somewhat shocked.

This was much larger than the giant beast he had seen in the movie!

The Chitauri Leviathan beast was covered in steel, and it carried many armed Chitauri on its body.

And on the giant beast's massive head, Loki, holding the Mind Stone, spread his hands and laughed, "Haha, Earthlings, your king has arrived!"

Looking at Loki holding the Soul Scepter, Tony Stark said, "You really guessed right!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony Stark rushed towards Loki without hesitation.

Lynn instantly teleported from the airship to Loki's front, but he didn't focus his attention on Loki.

Because beside Loki, Black Dwarf, one of Thanos's Black Order, was staring at him with a giant axe.

Seeing Lynn staring at Black Dwarf beside him, Loki, holding his Soul Scepter, laughed, "Do you like it? Lynn Hall, I prepared this specially for you."

"I really want to know, is it you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tony Stark, who had arrived, raised his hand without hesitation, and his palm repulsor blast directly hit Loki.

"Bang!"

Struck by the palm energy cannon, Loki's body flew several meters away. If the Chitauri around him hadn't supported Loki, he would have probably fallen from a height of several hundred meters!

Standing firm, Loki looked at Tony Stark with a sinister gaze: "Black Dwarf, kill him!"

Hearing Loki's command, Black Dwarf swung the battle-axe in his hand directly at Tony Stark.

The huge battle-axe cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, while Lynn instantly rushed forward, smashing the huge mace in his hand directly onto the battle-axe.

"Boom"

The moment the two weapons collided, a deafening crash echoed around them.

The violent collision made Black Dwarf take a step back. The axe head of his integrated battle-axe suddenly opened, clamping onto the mace, then he swung it hard, throwing Lynn down from a hundred meters in the air.

"FUXX!"

Seeing this scene, Tony Stark's eyes turned red. Missiles from his suit's shoulders attacked Black Dwarf, while Tony himself jumped down without hesitation, preparing to catch Lynn falling through the air.

"Rumble"

The missile explosion engulfed Black Dwarf, but Black Dwarf, amidst the smoke of the explosion, was not injured.

Turning his head to look at Loki, Black Dwarf opened his mouth and said a few words that no one else understood.

"Don't be careless, Lynn Hall is not as easy to deal with as you think!"

As soon as Loki finished speaking, Lynn used teleportation to reappear in front of Black Dwarf.

At this moment, Lynn's eyes were icy cold, looking at Black Dwarf as if he were a prey.

Before Black Dwarf could attack, Lynn instantly teleported into the air the next second, gripping the mace with both hands and smashing it down with full force towards Black Dwarf.

"Boom"

A violent collision sound rang out!

Black Dwarf, whose battle-axe had transformed into a shield to block the attack, felt his legs give out, and he knelt before Lynn.

And the Chitauri Leviathan beast under his feet let out a mournful cry, its hundred-meter-long body directly plummeting towards the ground!

On the ground.

"My goodness"

Seeing the giant beast falling towards them, Steve, who had just finished dealing with a group of Chitauri in cooperation with Thor, looked up and said, "What other things do these alien guys have yet to show?"

"There are more and more aliens now. If this continues, even if we work ourselves to death, we simply can't kill them all."

Hearing Steve say this, Thor, swinging his hammer, said, "What, are you tired?"

"Tired?"

Facing Thor's question, Steve gripped his shield and said, "I can fight them all day!"

As the two were talking, the hundred-meter-long giant beast crashed heavily onto the ground.

Before anyone else could rush over, they saw Black Dwarf himself kicked dozens of meters away!

Jumping down from the giant beast, Lynn saw that the mace in his hand was shattered, so he casually threw it away. Just as he was about to move on Loki, he suddenly heard a cautious voice from behind him.

The Spider-Sense's warning allowed Lynn to dodge the attack, turning his head to look at Black Dwarf, who had thrown a giant axe, Lynn's eyes once again turned cold.

"Uh, it's not my business, he's not my subordinate!"

Looking at Loki, who had changed his tune, Lynn was about to make a move.

Then he saw Thor quickly fly over, then grab Loki by the neck and say, "Look at what you've done, is this the result you wanted?"

Watching the two brothers fight, Lynn refocused his attention on Black Dwarf, who was charging towards them.

Picking up a Chitauri spear from the ground, Lynn was about to rush over when a burning chain flew out and wrapped directly around Black Dwarf's neck.

The fiercely burning chain dragged Black Dwarf dozens of meters away.

Then a skeleton, wearing leather and engulfed in flames, stepped off a similarly burning motorcycle.

"Damn it, who is he again? When did Earth have burning, living skeletons?"

Swinging on a web to Lynn's side, Peter Parkerimmediately clutched his head and asked in surprise when he saw Ghost Rider.

"Phew, thank God, it's good that you're okay!"

Controlling his armor to land beside Lynn, Tony Starksaid, "I just flew down from the giant beast to catch you, I didn't expect you to disappear after falling a dozen meters from the air!"

Saying that, Tony Stark glanced at Ghost Rider and said, "Is this your friend?"

"Indeed, I called him!"

"Hiss, your social circle is really wide, Lynn. This wouldn't be someone you met in hell, would it, a burning skeleton? Hey, your friend's skull got hit and spun around?"

Seeing Ghost Rider's head hit by Black Dwarf, directly doing a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation, Tony Stark immediately exclaimed.

"Don't worry, he's immortal!"

As his voice fell, Ghost Rider was seen using the chain to trap Black Dwarf, and his burning skeletal hand directly pried open Black Dwarf's eyes: "Look into my eyes!"

As soon as Ghost Rider finished speaking, Black Dwarfimmediately struggled and roared in terror.

His massive body began to burn wildly, then gradually turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Tony Stark was silent for a few seconds, then asked Lynn, "Does this friend of yours like good wine, and long-legged beauties?"

Lynn gave Tony the middle finger, then walked up to Ghost Rider: "You're a bit late."

"Oh really? I think I'm just in time!"

Saying that, the chain in Ghost Rider's hand burned again, then attacked the Chitauri.

Seeing the battle restart, Lynn turned his attention to the Soul Scepter in Loki's hand.

Stark Tower rooftop.

Bringing Loki's Soul Scepter to the rooftop, Lynn looked at the endless stream of Chitauri and the Mutants fighting them.

Lynn looked at Professor X and smiled, "This should end!"

Saying that, Lynn plunged the Soul Scepter into the energy released by the Tesseract, then through his earpiece, he said, "Everyone, this war is about to end, I'm going to close the wormhole!"

Listening to the cheers, sighs of relief, and urging voices coming through the earpiece, Lynn noticed that Nick Furyhadn't mentioned the nuclear bomb.

Lynn no longer hesitated!

As the tip of the Soul Scepter touched the Tesseract, the next second the energy released by the Tesseract began to disappear, and the huge wormhole in the sky gradually closed.

After doing all this, Lynn took out the Soul Scepter and the Tesseract.

As the wormhole closed, the Chitauri on the ground fell one after another like robots that had lost power.

On the ground.

Watching the Chitauri in front of them lose their lives, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Stormbeside her and said, "Ororo, we won!"

"Yes, we won this battle for Earth!"

Stretching her muscles, Storm said, "After this, I'll need a few days off. I feel like the last time I fought those guys from the Brotherhood of Mutants, I wasn't this tired!"

Not far away.

"Are you okay, Scott?"

Looking at Cyclops sitting on the ground clutching his ribs, Logan walked over and held out his hand.

"I'm fine!"

Shaking his head, he took Logan's hand and stood up from the ground: "I just accidentally got hit by an energy gun from these alien bugs, it's no big deal. What are you looking for?"

Scott asked, watching Logan constantly searching for something on his body.

"I'm looking for a cigar."

Facing Scott's question, Logan said with some regret, "I should have known not to throw away that cigar before the battle!"

"Woohoo, awesome, we won, we killed those alien bugs!"

Hearing Peter Parker's excited cheer not far away, Scotttook a deep breath, then smiled.

"Yes, we won!"

Turning his head to look at the chaotic surroundings, Steve looked at Tony and said, "This is the disaster brought by war!"

"It's okay, I have money, and this time the disaster relief department will also have to bleed a lot, it's just that those guys' construction efficiency is too slow."

"But even though we won, it's not over yet!"

Hearing Tony say this, Steve nodded.

On the rooftop.

"Are you sure you don't want to meet Lorna?"

Looking at Magneto, who was about to leave, Lynn spoke, "Actually, Lorna really hopes to receive love from her father."

Hearing Lynn's words, Magneto was silent for a few seconds: "I will go see Lorna, but not now, Lynn, I believe you, but I don't believe other official organizations. I don't want to fight the Military after fighting those alien bugs."

After speaking, Magneto nodded to Professor X, then turned and left.

Watching his old friend leave, Professor X smiled at Lynn, "Don't mind him, Eric is just like that."

"But I'm still very happy to see him on this occasion!"

Hearing Professor X say this, Lynn saw that Magneto's favorability on the system had increased by 1 point, reaching 4 points, and Professor X's favorability had also increased to 5 points, so he also nodded.

Although the wormhole was closed, the matter was far from over.

"Shawn, Alice, you lead the FBI personnel to search the surrounding streets, and the NYPD will cooperate with you!"

Hearing Lynn's command, Alice and Shawn immediately nodded.

"Lynn, S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming soon too."

Looking at Lynn, Steve said.

"Did you hear what Steve said? S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming soon too, Alice, don't forget to take some Chitauri corpses and their weapons back to the department for the R&D department to study."

"Yes!"

Hearing Lynn's command, Alice immediately left.

"I didn't mean that."

Looking at Lynn, Steve shook his head and said with a smile, "But are you sure you won't join the Avengers? After this, S.H.I.E.L.D. will heavily publicize the Avengers' rescue of New York."

"Then let them publicize it, I'm not worried at all that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s publicity will erase the Illuminati's merits!"

The two walked downstairs as they talked. At this moment, Loki had already been restrained by Thor using Asgardian handcuffs.

"This time you won!"

Looking at Lynn, Loki raised his hands, indicating that he had been captured: "But next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Facing Loki's "threat," Hulk, who was beside him, clenched his fists and stared at him intently, while Lynnwalked forward and looked into Loki's eyes.

"What, you found out I was lying again?"

"Exactly!"

Nodding, Lynn looked at Loki and said, "You don't seem surprised by this failure, and even have a feeling of 'it's finally over'!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Loki's smile faltered, then he turned to Thor and said, "Can you take me back to Asgard? I really don't want to see him anymore!"

Chapter 92 Tony: Robbery, Lin En, this is robbery!

Inside Stark Tower.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are here."

Watching Sitwell approach with Brock Rumlow and his team, Tony Stark spread his hands at Lynn and said, "Now I finally understand why in movies the Policealways show up only after the protagonist has dealt with a bunch of villains."

"Just like now, we won, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents came to take the war criminal Loki. What if we had lost? Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. would have launched a nuclear missile at Manhattan?"

Before Lynn could respond to Tony's words, Thor Odinson, who was beside them, interjected, "Loki is an Asgardian. Even if he needs to be punished, it will be Asgard who punishes him. I will not hand him over!"

Although he spoke to Tony, Thor's gaze was fixed on Lynn.

"Mr. Hall!"

Approaching with Brock Rumlow and the others, Sitwellsaid, "By Director Fury's orders, we are preparing to escort the Soul Scepter, the Tesseract, and Loki back to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"That's impossible!"

Before Lynn could speak, Thor stepped forward directly and said, "I will not hand Loki over to you!"

"This…"

Facing Thor's unyielding attitude, Sitwell's gaze also turned to Lynn.

"I'll talk to him."

Giving Thor a look, Lynn led Sitwell aside.

"What did Mr. Pierce decide?"

"Compared to the Tesseract and the Soul Scepter, Lokiisn't actually that important, Mr. Hall. The Secretary-General's meaning is that we'd best obtain both the Tesseract and the Soul Scepter simultaneously."

"Especially the Soul Scepter, it has the ability to control anyone. Once we obtain the Soul Scepter, then..."

Glancing at Tony Stark and the others not far away, Sitwell continued, "So we absolutely cannot let Thor take the Soul Scepter away!"

"Understood. Then we'll exchange the Tesseract for the Soul Scepter."

Nodding, Lynn returned to the group, took the Mind Stonefrom Natasha's hand, and placed it into the box held by Brock Rumlow.

"Thor, you can take the Tesseract and Loki!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Thor finally grinned.

[Thor Odinson Favorability: 5]

Well, fighting alongside Lynn had raised Thor's favorability to 4, and now Lynn had helped him resolve the "dispute" concerning Loki.

So Thor's favorability towards Lynn increased a little more.

Watching Sitwell and his team leave with the Mind Stone, Tony Stark suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, the war is over. I think we should celebrate our victory."

"I know a good Turkish kebab place. Want to try it? My treat!"

Facing Tony's suggestion, everyone exchanged glances.

"Alright, after I arrange work for Sean and Alice."

Lynn was the first to respond to Tony's invitation.

"I'm a bit hungry too. After fighting for so long, we should have a good meal." With that, Natasha turned to Hawkeye.

"Of course, no problem."

Putting away his bow and arrows, Clint Barton nodded.

Seeing that no one refused, Tony looked at Thor: "I don't mind if you bring Loki along. We can sit at the table, and Loki can squat nearby."

"Heh!"

Before Thor could answer, Loki suddenly transformed into Tony Stark: "We can sit at the table, and Loki can squat nearby, Thor, are you going to watch your brother endure such great humiliation?"

Seeing Loki transform into Tony, the Hulk next to him was a bit confused.

He looked at Tony, then at Loki, who had transformed into Tony Stark.

His big eyes were filled with confusion; he didn't understand why there were two Tonys here.

It wasn't until he saw Loki change back that the Hulkclenched his fists and glared at Loki.

"Hey, easy there, big guy, I've already surrendered!"

Facing the Hulk's glare, Loki raised his bound hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Shut up!"

After glaring at Loki, Thor looked at Tony and said, "Let's not. The most important thing now is to take Loki back to Asgard to face my father's punishment."

"But once I resolve the rebellions Loki caused across the Nine Realms, perhaps we can throw a celebration party!"

"Wow, I love lively parties."

Chatting and laughing, they arrived outside. Thor nodded to everyone, then called out to Heimdall towards the sky.

The Bifrost Bridge magic descended from the sky, enveloping the two of them, and soon they vanished from the spot.

"That's really convenient."

Watching Thor leave, Natasha smiled and said, then turned to Lynn, "What are you looking for?"

"Ever since you handed the Soul Scepter to Sitwell, you've been observing your surroundings. Are there other enemies?"

Facing Natasha's inquiry, Lynn smiled and shook his head.

Hmm, good, after the Battle of New York, no Avengerscame from the future.

"I'm going to arrange some things. See you later!"

Greeting everyone, Lynn walked towards Gwen.

"Lynn!"

Seeing Lynn approach, Gwen happily threw herself into his arms: "We won! Those alien bugs were defeated by us!"

Listening to Gwen's somewhat excited tone, Lynn smiled and stroked her hair: "Don't forget to call Uncle Georgeand Aunt Helen later to let them know you're safe."

"I think they must be very worried right now."

"Mhm, I will!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Gwen immediately nodded.

Arriving beside Professor X, after a few brief conversations with them, all the Illuminati members returned.

As for Sean and Alice, they had already led the FBI agents to begin rescue efforts.

Half an hour later, inside a Turkish kebab shop.

Several people sat silently, eating, for some reason no one seemed to have the desire to speak.

A moment later, Steve was the first to speak: "Although we won this battle, Manhattan as a whole has been affected."

"After this battle, people all over the World will know that aliens exist in the Universe and are coveting Earth."

"I'm very worried this will cause panic worldwide."

Hearing Steve say this, Natasha looked at Lynn and said, "Now that the Battle of New York is over, the authorities will definitely hold a press conference."

"Lynn, among us, you have the highest official rank. Have you received any news?"

Facing Natasha's question, everyone also looked at Lynn.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lynn nodded and said, "As soon as the war ended, I received a call from Director Duke."

"This press conference will be held at City Hall. I won't mention people like the Governor or Mayor."

"I will attend representing the Illuminati, and Steve, Tony, you two will attend this conference representing the Avengers!"

Three days later, early morning, inside a Manhattan hotel.

"Your fame is growing bigger and bigger now."

Looking at Taylor and Melissa lying on either side of him, Lynn said with a smile, "I heard that if it weren't for this alien invasion of New York, you two were planning to hold a concert for ten thousand people at the New YorkStadium?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Taylor, resting her head on Lynn's chest, said, "Then I should thank you. If you hadn't helped me solve the problems with the record company, I might still be exploited by them now!"

"Exactly, exactly."

Melissa, beside him, propped herself up with a pale arm and said, "Ever since that fat pig was investigated by your order, the record company boss has been very polite to me, not daring to make me attend those 'unspoken rules' parties anymore!"

At this point, Melissa kissed Lynn on the cheek: "Now everyone online is saying that you led the Illuminati to save New York and rescue Earth, that you are a superhero!"

"But long before that, you were already the greatest hero in our hearts!"

Watching Melissa and Taylor look at him with adoration, Lynn gently stroked the smooth backs of the two sisters: "Then aren't you going to give your hero a reward?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Melissa and Taylor exchanged glances, then simultaneously lowered their heads and ducked under the covers.

"Phew…"

Taking a deep breath, Lynn opened the system to check his favorability ratings.

After the Battle of New York, although Manhattansuffered significant losses and many U.S. citizens died.

Lynn, however, gained a lot of favorability from the superheroes during this war.

For example, Tony's favorability finally increased to 8 points after fighting alongside Lynn through the Battle of New York.

Lynn also gained 2000 experience points.

Natasha's favorability increased from 5 to 7 points, granting 500 experience, which was 500 points less than when Tony Stark reached 7 points of favorability.

Clint's favorability increased from 2 to 5 points.

Thor also had 5 points of favorability, and Dr. Banner had 4 points.

As for Steve Rogers, Captain America, who was a member of both the Illuminati and the Avengers, his favorability directly increased from 4 to 7 points, just like Tony at 7 points, giving Lynn 1000 experience points.

It could be said that after this battle fought side-by-side, the favorability of all six original Avengers members significantly increased.

Even Jean Grey and Professor X's favorability increased from 5 to 6 points.

Therefore, Lynn now even wished for the Battle of New York to happen again.

After all, nothing increases favorability more than fighting side-by-side, sharing life and death!

Inside the car.

"Boss, City Hall is almost ready. The press conference about the Battle of New York will start in an hour. Here is your speech."

After Lynn got into the car, Barbara said while driving Lynn towards City Hall, "This press conference will not only have U.S. media, but also news media from various countries have rushed here."

"So, Boss, during the press conference interview, I've arranged for several New York media outlets to ask you questions."

"These New York media are all our mouthpieces!"

Hearing Barbara's arrangements, Lynn looked at the speech in his hand and nodded: "You're getting more and more capable!"

"Hehe, it's because you've trained me well. After being by your side for so long, if I didn't even have this much skill, wouldn't I be embarrassing you?"

At this point, Barbara blinked and asked curiously, "Boss, how were the skills of those two female singers?"

"They were alright. I prefer their high, clear voices."

"My voice is pretty good too, you even said my voice was sweet."

"You?"

Lynn looked sideways at Barbara and smiled, "It's true, but you always like to pass out halfway through."

As they talked, the car continued towards City Hall.

Along the way, there were visible scars and traces left by the Battle of New York everywhere.

Arriving at City Hall, Lynn got out of the car and saw that Steve hadn't gone inside but was standing outside City Hall, so he walked over with a smile.

"Why aren't you going in?"

"I'm still not used to dealing with those officials."

Seeing Lynn approach, Steve said with a smile.

"Is this the new combat suit City Hall prepared for you?"

Looking at Steve's brand new blue tight-fitting battle suit, Lynn asked with a smile.

"That's right!"

Hearing Lynn say this, Steve shrugged: "Originally, I planned to wear normal clothes, but the Mayor told me that after the Battle of New York, people needed a spiritual symbol to encourage them to overcome the disaster and trauma."

"So I put on this uniform. Besides that, the Mayor also thoughtfully prepared a gift for me."

"What gift?"

As the two walked towards the City Hall, Lynn asked curiously.

"Stork Club!"

Looking at Lynn, Steve shrugged.

"The Stork Club? Is that where Ms. Peggy made a date with you..."

"That's right!"

Taking a deep breath, Steve shook his head self-deprecatingly: "I had a date with Peggy at 8 PM on Saturday, and I missed it for seventy years."

"I never thought this club would belong to me after seventy years, it really is..."

Seeing the melancholy in Steve's eyes, Lynn raised a hand and patted his shoulder.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?"

Landing from the sky in his armor, Tony Stark opened his faceplate and looked at the two: "Are you talking bad about me?"

Watching Tony walk over in his armor, Lynn chuckled: "That's right, Steve and I were guessing if Pepper let you into bed after she returned from Europe two days ago."

"Who told you not to let her come back when the Battle of New York happened!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Tony Stark spread his hands: "Come on, I'm Tony Stark, how could I not even be able to get into bed?"

As he spoke, seeing a black car driving over from not far away, Tony whispered to Lynn: "If Pepper really asks later, Lynn, just say that you ordered New York to be locked down until the war ended."

Hearing Tony's request, Lynn glanced at Pepper, who was getting out of the car: "So, you want me to take the blame for you?"

"No wonder you flew over in your armor beforehand. Alright, for your happiness, as a friend, of course I have to step up."

"That's very kind of you. When I throw a party later, I'll definitely get the Little Princess of New York to go out with you!"

Listening to their conversation, Steve, who was beside them, also smiled.

This kind of pleasant atmosphere between friends truly made one feel relaxed.

Inside City Hall.

"Let us observe a moment of silence for the civilians who died in this Battle of New York."

After the moment of silence, the Governor began to speak eloquently on the stage.

Below the stage.

"Heh, it really fits my impression of these officials. As long as there's a chance to show off, they'll never miss it."

Watching the Governor on stage continuously narrate the events to the media and cameras, as if he were a direct participant.

Tony Stark quietly complained to Lynn beside him.

Faced with Tony's complaints, Lynn maintained a smile and said nothing more.

However, when the Governor announced the statistics, stating that over three hundred civilians had died in the disaster.

Even Steve frowned.

"Lynn, are there really only over three hundred civilian deaths?"

In response to Steve's question, Lynn whispered: "According to the data obtained by the FBI, the death toll the Governor mentioned needs to be multiplied several times to be the true number, and there are even more injured civilians!"

Hearing Lynn's answer, Steve fell silent.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Lynn Hall, Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, leader of the Illuminati, and the superhero who led the Illuminati, the Avengers, and the X-Men to defeat the aliens and save Earth."

Following the Governor's introduction, Lynn stood up and walked towards the press conference stage.

When Lynn reached the microphone, before he could even speak, everyone below, whether reporters or citizens, spontaneously gave him extremely warm applause and cheers.

They knew that compared to the Governor, who had just offered both condolences and inspiring words.

Lynn Hall was the true superhero who saved the World!

Listening to the people spontaneously applauding and cheering, Tony looked at Steve and said: "Now, Lynn's prestige in New York is even greater!"

"He deserves it!"

While applauding, Steve said seriously.

This press conference was broadcast live globally, and many people watched it on their televisions and computers.

So when Lynn walked onto the stage with a solemn expression, everyone eagerly awaited what he would say!

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Watching the holographic projection showing Lynn Hallexplaining the causes and consequences of the Battle of New York to reporters worldwide.

Nick Fury said to Alexander Pierce: "It's a pity, if Lynn Hall was willing to join the Avengers, then not only would the Avengers' overall strength go up a level, but their authority would also be higher."

"Oh? Have you heard something?"

Looking at Nick Fury's somewhat regretful tone, Pierceasked with a chuckle.

"In the three days after the Battle of New York, the President's staff suggested to the President that the Avengers organization be designated as an official organization."

"And members of Congress also proposed turning the Avengers, this superhero organization, into an organization governed by the country. Once the Avengersobey the orders of Congress, then with the Avengers' influence among the people, who knows, heh!"

Hearing Nick Fury's news, Pierce glanced at Lynn Hall, who was currently taking questions from reporters.

Then he chuckled: "That's how politicians are. As soon as they see something good, they can't wait to turn it into a weapon for power struggles."

"What about the Illuminati for those people in Congress? Haven't they thought about taking the Illuminati for themselves?"

"That's why I regret that Lynn is unwilling to join the Avengers!"

Faced with Pierce's question, Nick Fury shook his head: "Congress is only targeting the Avengers to draft legislation, but they are ignoring the Illuminati."

"Perhaps they believe that Lynn Hall is the Deputy Director of the New York FBI, inherently an official, so there's no difference between him leading the Illuminatiand Congress leading the Illuminati."

Hearing Nick Fury's reply, Pierce lit a cigar and smiled without speaking.

How could those idiots in Congress not covet the Illuminati?

Especially after the Battle of New York, the members of the Illuminati gained even greater prestige because of this war.

In this situation, never mind that Lynn is the Deputy Director of the New York FBI.

Even if he were the Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Congress would not let go of such a large piece of fat as the Illuminati.

The main reason why Congress is currently ignoring the Illuminati is because Lynn Hall is HYDRA, he's one of their own.

That's why the HYDRA members in Congress jointly exerted their influence to shift Congress's attention to the Avengers.

Thinking of this, Alexander Pierce said to Nick Fury: "Do you need my help?"

"After all, I often deal with those politicians."

Facing Pierce's question, Nick Fury closed the holographic projection: "There is indeed something I need your help with."

"I can solve Congress's coveting of the Avengers, but the biggest problem now is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s lack of funds, Pierce, I hope you..."

"Weren't the funds for the last quarter just approved?"

Faced with Nick Fury saying S.H.I.E.L.D. was out of money, even Pierce frowned: "Fury, I hope you can be honest with me, what exactly are you doing with such a large amount of diverted funds?"

"A plan I've been conceiving all along!"

Looking at Pierce, Nick Fury said: "You'll know later!"

"Yes, this disaster was caused by the Tesseract. After Lokiobtained it, he opened a wormhole and then led the aliens to invade New York!"

"The reason I sealed off New York in advance was not because I had prior knowledge of the New York war, but because of another major case."

"The war with the aliens caused heavy losses to New York. In this situation, a lot of crime is bound to occur, so the Illuminati's next task will be to protect the safety of the public and prevent anyone from committing evil during the chaos!"

Lynn calmly responded to the reporters' questions.

Whenever a reporter wanted to ask an unanswerable question, many New York reporters would clamor to ask pre-prepared questions to help Lynn out.

It must be said, Barbara arranged everything very well, cleverly avoiding some of Lynn's troubles!

After the press conference ended, Tony Stark came to Lynn: "I'm planning to host a party this Saturday, are you going to attend?"

"Steve and Rhodes will all be there, and also, I've finally invited the Princess Anne you've been longing for."

Looking at Tony, who was winking at him, Lynn raised an eyebrow: "Oh really? Then we'll see if your wingman skills work!"

As the two were quietly talking, Pepper walked over from the side: "What are you two talking about?"

"Hi, Pepper, long time no see."

Greeting Pepper, Lynn chuckled: "Tony just told me he's going to renovate the Stark Tower."

"At the same time, to thank the Illuminati for saving the World, Tony decided to spend a lot of money to expand the Illuminati Base, and even plans to establish a superhero foundation."

"Specifically for paying superheroes!"

Hearing Lynn's answer, Tony Stark's eyes widened.

He was practically pointing at Lynn's nose and calling him shameless.

But faced with Pepper's questioning gaze, Tony Starkspread his hands and said: "Lynn is right, I do have this intention."

"Pepper, you know that these superheroes who just saved the World actually don't receive any salary."

"They fight aliens purely out of their sense of justice, risking death."

"Some of these superheroes are still students, and some even work three jobs a day to support their families."

"They can't even afford to go to the hospital after getting injured because they don't have money for commercial insurance."

"So, I feel that since I have the ability, I cannot just stand by and watch all this happen."

Seeing Pepper's eyes growing softer, Tony Stark spoke with even more enthusiasm: "So I not only want to build a luxurious Base for the Illuminati members and establish a foundation to guarantee their livelihood."

"I also want to name this foundation after you. This foundation will not only pay these heroes a monthly salary."

"It will also allow them to go to the hospital for treatment after being injured, and even their families will enjoy a certain level of protection!"

"Tony..."

Hearing Tony's decision, Pepper, regardless of Lynn being nearby, directly cupped Tony's face and gave him a kiss.

"I absolutely support your decision, Tony, this is a very meaningful thing, I'm truly proud of you!"

Saying that, Pepper took out her phone: "I'll go arrange it right away!"

"I'll go with you."

With that, Tony put his arm around Pepper and walked outside!

"Boss, what's going on?"

Coming up to Lynn, Barbara asked curiously.

"Nothing, just swindled Tony out of a large sum of money, and he still has to thank me!"

After speaking, Lynn led Barbara outside.

As the press conference ended, the Battle of New Yorkalso completely drew to a close.

Everyone was discussing the alien incident, and the fame of the Illuminati and the Avengers spread throughout the World.

For ordinary people, the existence of aliens in the Universe, and even the alien invasion of Earth, gradually became a topic of conversation after meals.

But for the FBI, the aftermath of the incident had just begun.

Within just two months, Lynn led the FBI in arresting hundreds of scoundrels who took advantage of the chaos.

Not only that, many more individuals who picked up Chitauri equipment on the Manhattan battlefield also started committing a series of crimes, relying on alien weapons.

In a community.

"FUXX!"

Watching the person use a Chitauri energy gun to send his task force brother flying, Sean cursed.

He immediately took out a powerful flashbang and threw it into the apartment.

"Bang"

As the flashbang exploded, the people in the room immediately felt their eyes blur, and everything around them turned white, unable to see anything clearly.

The smarter ones covered their eyes and knelt on the ground, indicating surrender, while the other few foolish ones randomly fired their energy guns.

Shawn and the others who rushed in saw this scene and opened fire in retaliation.

In just a few seconds, those fools fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing that everything was under control, Shawn waved his hand, telling his men to take away the guy kneeling on the ground.

At the same time, he had them collect the Chitauri energy guns.

"This is already the thirteenth group of robbers to use Chitauri weapons to rob banks!"

Opening the safe and looking at the stacks of banknotes inside, Dennis took out the money and said to Shawn.

"Pah!"

Spitting on the corpses on the ground, Shawn put away his gun and said, "Who knows what these idiots are thinking?"

"As soon as they get their hands on weapons, the first thing they do is goddamn rob banks."

"Don't they know that once a federal bank in New York is robbed, it's always investigated by our FBI?"

"Can't they just rob those New York banks?"

Hearing Shawn's curses, Dennis laughed and said, "I actually hope more federal banks get robbed."

"After all, every time we catch these bastards, we get a bonus."

"Do this a few dozen more times, and I could buy an apartment in Manhattan!"

Hearing Dennis's words, Shawn also laughed, "It's just that the boss is generous with us brothers, especially after he became Deputy Director, the funds he applied for us are even more ample."

"If it had been any of those other three bastards who became Deputy Director, with our salaries, we'd have to wait decades to buy a house!"

At this point, Shawn had Dennis pack the money, and as he walked out, he said, "Oh, by the way, I'm holding an engagement party next weekend, don't forget to come!"

"Of course I won't forget."

Hearing Shawn say this, Dennis laughed and said, "But are you really getting married?"

"No choice, Irene is pregnant."

Shawn looked at Dennis with a proud expression and said.

"You're going to be a father? Congratulations!"

Dennis congratulated Shawn, and was about to say something else, but then saw a black Chevrolet driving towards them.

"FUXX, it's those bastards from S.H.I.E.L.D. again, Dennis, have them put away the Chitauri weapons, we're still not handing them over this time!"

"Yes!"

Nodding, Dennis walked towards the others.

Half an hour later, inside Lynn's office.

"Boss, S.H.I.E.L.D. has protested to our FBI again!"

Hearing Barbara say this, Lynn smiled and asked, "What is it about this time?"

"It's still about the Chitauri weapons. When it comes to control over New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't as good as us, so we always manage to deal with those criminals who pick up energy guns and rob before S.H.I.E.L.D. finds them, so…"

Mid-sentence, a cough came from under Lynn's desk.

"Hold it in, let's talk business!"

Looking at Jessica, who was kneeling under his desk, Lynn patted her head, then said to Barbara, "And then?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. wants the energy guns we confiscated back, and Hill wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow night."

Hearing Barbara say this, Lynn laughed and said, "Tomorrow is Christmas, who has time to have dinner with her?"

"Cancel it for me!"

"Alright!"

Nodding, Barbara picked up a cup, filled it with water, and placed it on the desk, smiling, "Supervisor Jessica, your water is ready, don't choke!"

After swallowing the milk, Jessica angrily slapped Lynn's leg: "It's all your fault, you made that little bitch Barbaralaugh at me."

"Next time in bed, you're not allowed to help her. I have to record her crying and then fainting, and then I'll really mock her!"

After upgrading the Absolute Defense ability to LV4, Lynnclosed the system.

Looking at Gwen, who was still sound asleep, Lynnquietly pulled back the covers, preparing to get up.

"Mmm."

Sensing Lynn's movement to get out of bed, Gwen, though her eyes were closed, still accurately hugged Lynn's arm, not letting him leave.

"It's almost 8 o'clock, the Sun's already high."

Gently patting Gwen's shapely bottom, Lynn said dotingly.

"Just a little more sleep, it's Christmas anyway, we just need to be home by evening!"

Watching Gwen hum, unwilling to open her eyes, Lynnlaughed and said, "Didn't we agree to go shopping today, and then take you, Lorna, and Laura to the amusement park?"

"Huh?"

Hearing 'shopping' and 'amusement park,' Gwen slowly opened her eyes, and after staring blankly for a few seconds, her eyes immediately lit up.

"That's right, today we're going to shop till we drop, and then take Lorna and Laura on roller coasters!"

Throwing off the covers and sitting up, Gwen kissed Lynn's face, then scampered off to the bathroom.

Seeing Gwen's excited look, Lynn smiled and shook his head.

After breakfast, the four drove towards the shops.

Gwen had always treated Lorna and Laura like her younger sisters.

Especially after the Illuminati was established, the three of them became even closer.

Gwen's affection for these two younger sisters had already surpassed that for her best friend, Mary Jane.

Watching the three girls enter the shop and begin their shopping spree, Lynn smiled and sat in the resting area.

During this time, several girls excitedly asked to take a photo with Lynn, and Lynn, who was always kind to people, naturally didn't refuse.

As for the notes slipped to him… Lynn tore them up and threw them into the trash can after they left.

On one hand, they didn't match his aesthetic, and on the other hand, Gwen kept looking back at him.

By late morning, the three girls had bought enough to almost fill Lynn's Chevrolet.

Even so, the three girls hadn't bought enough.

Indeed, shopping is a woman's nature, even if Laura had just turned 14 after her birthday, and Lorna was only 15.

After lunch, Lynn drove the three to the amusement park.

Along the way, the three girls chattered incessantly, and even the somewhat melancholic Polaris showed a genuine smile in front of Gwen.

Inside the amusement park.

As for the so-called thrilling roller coasters, Lynn thought they were just alright.

After all, he couldn't even remember how many times he had piloted armed helicopters or parachuted.

However, the three girls were having a blast.

After the roller coaster, they wanted to ride the pirate ship, and the three girls were extremely happy the entire afternoon.

"Hey, Lynn, you're in the headlines!"

Watching the three girls continue playing on the amusement park rides, Tony Stark called Lynn: "New York FBI Deputy Director, Illuminati leader takes three girls to the amusement park on Christmas Day."

"Tsk tsk, this report was published and immediately hit the YouTube homepage!"

Hearing Tony Stark's reminder from the other end of the phone, Lynn laughed and said, "Were reporters there?"

"Not exactly, but passersby filmed it and posted it online. But honestly, Lynn, the public's opinion of you is quite high!"

"Even in the comments section of the video, countless people are praising you, saying you don't have that nauseating fake friendliness of other officials, and also FUXX, what do you mean Mr. Lynn Hall is a million times better than Iron Man Tony Stark?"

"Damn it, countless people call me a superhero too, and how did they calculate this million times? That's not fair!"

Listening to Tony's exasperated voice on the other end of the phone, Lynn laughed smugly, "Tony, that's public sentiment!"

"Hmph!"

Listening to Lynn's smug voice, Tony Stark snorted, "Oh, by the way, what's the deal with Anne Hathaway? After you took her from the party and slept with her a few times, why did you stop bothering with her?"

"She said in an interview that she wanted to date you, but the report couldn't even be published. Are you that heartless?"

"Heartless?"

Facing Tony's teasing, Lynn laughed and said, "She's fine as a dessert after a meal to cut the grease a few times, but dating is out of the question. Besides, Tony, when did you learn to beat around the bush?"

Hearing Lynn say this, Tony Stark was silent for a few seconds.

"Alright, it's nothing big, really."

Leaning on the sofa, Tony looked at the pictures on his tablet of Lynn taking Illuminati's Polaris and the Illusionist to the amusement park.

Tony Stark said, "I just feel like my recent state isn't quite right!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Tony say this, Lynn also became serious, "Specifically, what's wrong? Wasn't the palladium poisoning already resolved?"

"Not that."

Picking up his glass to take a sip, but looking at the orange-red liquid inside, Tony Stark put the glass down: "Ever since the Battle of New York ended, I sometimes frequently dream of a wormhole appearing over New York again."

"Then countless ugly, ferocious aliens pass through the wormhole and kill people all over New York, and all of us gather again to fight back with all our might."

"But in the end, we all failed, and Earth completely became a playground for aliens, and your dead bodies were right beside me."

Hearing Tony say this, Lynn frowned and asked, "How often do you dream it?"

"At first, I'd only have such dreams every few days, but later it became more and more frequent, until now I dream it every day."

Pinching his brow, Tony self-mockingly said, "Pepper says I wake up from dreams every night, sometimes even unconsciously summoning my armor to my side!"

At this point, Tony feigned nonchalance and said, "But I think it's probably just me overthinking, causing my brain to be too active, so… anyway, it should be nothing serious!"

"Tony, I think this must be anxiety!"

Lynn remembered that Tony's anxiety started after the Battle of New York.
