All the Saiki Kusuo clones spoke in unison, then either vanished instantly, shot towards the sky, or even burrowed underground.
This scene was also being broadcast to the entire world by Jarvis.
People were still unsure of the abilities of these suddenly appearing Chaldea "saviors".
But they soon found out.
Several of them flew into the sky at an incredibly fast speed and began to brutally collide with things. They effortlessly appeared beside one after another of the Alien Warships, easily tearing them to shreds, then moving on to the next target. Later, people couldn't even tell where the Chaldea members were; they only saw large areas of fireballs blooming in the high sky, with metal parts clattering down like hailstones, smashing into the city that had nearly become ruins.
As onlookers, this scene was incredibly shocking.
It wasn't until the dense wreckage of the warships began to fall before their eyes that people reacted.
"Find cover!"
The soldiers and those outside the church who hadn't evacuated yet scrambled for cover in a panic.
But Saiki Kusuo waved his hand, and the weapons raining down were all deflected, as if an invisible shield protected the people around him.
"Are these people from headquarters?" Tony flew over at this moment. "Why didn't you call them out to help earlier?"
This wasn't just Tony's question; it was everyone else's too. Watching the Chitauri soldiers retreat in the sky as if defeated in an instant, it gave everyone a feeling of disbelief.
It was as if they clearly had the strength, but still took several blows from their opponents before finally breaking out.
"Because of the cost." Shen He's voice sounded very low and suppressed through his mask. "Requesting support from headquarters requires a huge price. Even so, their time here is still limited, Tony, I remember I told you this."
"...Alright." Tony didn't ask any more questions.
He also remembered that when Shen He went to other worlds to help before, he seemed to have mentioned that he could get a lot of benefits, and could only go for a limited time each day.
In that case, these people should naturally be given benefits for helping.
He was now more and more curious about Chaldea.
Fury and General Ross exchanged glances, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes, but seeing that Shen He was obviously in a bad mood, no one wanted to touch this bad luck.
Just the thirty or forty Chaldea members currently staying in this world were enough to have the power to conquer, or even destroy, the entire world.
For everyone, and every force, who was watching this battle, they couldn't help but be shocked by the tip of the iceberg of Chaldea's power.
Whether it was a certain bald mage standing on the top of a snow mountain.
Or the bald commander in the Chitauri mothership.
Still the bald overlord sitting high upon the cosmic throne.
Perhaps there were even more bald ones.
Chaldea only truly entered their sights at this moment, be it with fear, curiosity, or wariness…
And the Chitauri commander, one of Thanos's underlings, was undoubtedly in fear.
His army was being brutally slaughtered in a one-sided massacre, his allies had been captured, and his mission to conquer that planet and bring back the Tesseract was on the verge of failure.
He didn't dare go to his master, because he understood the consequences of failure.
Where exactly was the hope for survival…
Shen He naturally wouldn't guess at the enemy's terrible mood. In fact, he was still in a pretty good mood after just having given them the runaround again.
He was currently being escorted to the Aircraft Carrier high in the sky by a clone of Saiki Kusuo.
The clone possessed the exact same abilities as the main body, though there was a possibility of a rebellious nature. However, it wasn't as uncontrollable as the infinite possibilities of Aleister's clones.
Standing on the outer edge of the Aircraft Carrier's deck, he looked at the battlefield before him, and suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit.
Even if the Marvel world was full of existences that were like bugs, Saiki-sama was also a bug. Perhaps in the future, even more bugs could be summoned.
Perhaps he should shout at this moment, "Our journey is a more vast sea of stars!"?
"Master, they're starting to retreat."
Jeanne called out beside Shen He, her voice somewhat ethereal in the howling wind, but one could still hear her excitement.
No matter how many times it happened, victory in war always eased the sorrow of sacrifice.
"Did we win?"
"Looks like it."
"They really retreated, going back into outer space."
"Alright, everyone, anyone want to throw a party?"
"…"
Various voices came through the earpieces, from the Guardians, from Tony, from Steve, and even from Fury and General Ross, all of them breathing a sigh of relief.
And as the hour gradually passed, those clones disappeared one after another, just as suddenly as they had appeared, they returned.
"Shuvi, Violet, come here."
Shen He beckoned the two little girls to his side, looking at Violet's slightly tired eyes with a touch of heartache.
The two of them had played a role second only to Saiki Kusuo in the recent war, especially Shuvi.
"You've worked hard."
Shen He reached out and tidied Violet's golden hair, which had been tousled by the wind, then looked up at the portal in the sky.
"Everyone, I don't think the war is over."
His voice appeared and instantly silenced all the other voices in the communication channel.
Everyone understood what Shen He meant.
Now was far from the time to celebrate.
"Jarvis, broadcast my voice to the live stream," Shen He instructed.
Jarvis immediately switched the view. Shen He, who had already put away his Evil Spirit Armor, stood on the high-altitude Aircraft Carrier. Beside him were the people from Chaldea. Every one of them, even Shuvi, whose skin was as fair as snow, was stained with the blue blood of the aliens. Her light purple hair fluttered wildly in the wind. The combination of her innocent, beautiful appearance and the posture of a war weapon created a highly impactful aesthetic.
"The alien army that invaded Earth has been temporarily repelled," Shen He's face showed no expression. "However, this Portal connecting to the new world cannot be closed yet. The enemy is still on the other side, eyeing us covetously, and may organize the next wave of attacks at any time."
The screen cut to the Portal in the sky.
A close-up view.
This was a sight that had never appeared in the human world before. A vortex-like void appeared in the clouds. On the other side was the dark, vast outer space, a huge, hideous mothership, and dense mechanical dragons, all quietly located in the darkness, suspended above the heads of every Earthling like the mouth of an abyss, ready to devour them at any moment.
"This is the true form of the world. In the vast outer space, war, conquest, and death are everywhere!"
Shen He's voice continued. Everyone listened quietly. The new world had already appeared before their eyes, in the posture of war, and they had no choice but to accept it.
"Compared to the vast majority of civilizations in the galaxy, human civilization is undoubtedly fortunate. Throughout the history of human civilization, Earth has always been protected by Asgard, allowing humanity to develop peacefully to this day. There have also been many other guardians who secretly protected the entire world from destruction by outsiders."
Thor, landing beside Shen He, couldn't help but cast a grateful look at him.
This war was, after all, instigated by Loki, and he couldn't help but worry that humanity would resent Asgard because of it.
"But——"
Shen He's next words filled Thor with helplessness.
"Although Asgard is powerful, it is not invincible." Shen He turned to look at Thor. "Just a rebellious prince, Loki, destroyed Asgard's most powerful weapon, plunging several planets protected by Asgard into war. Earth's enemies also took advantage of this chaos to invade, and Asgard, as a guardian, was already powerless."
After the Bifrost was destroyed, all nine planets fell into war.
It wasn't until the Bifrost was repaired that Thor led his army and spent a year calming the chaos. Asgard also suffered heavy losses, and its decline was beginning to show.
In addition to the Dark Elves and the Aether particle incident, the Queen's sacrifice dealt another blow to Asgard.
All of this foreshadowed the final Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard, which had been powerful for thousands of years.
"These are all facts," Thor took a deep breath. "But I will do everything in my power to stop the war."
The honest Thor didn't understand how to argue, or rather, the lies of a ruler.
He essentially admitted that Asgard was powerless against this war.
In fact, his father had already paid a price by mobilizing a large amount of dark energy to send him to Earth. The reason for doing so was that only the Tesseract on Earth could repair the Bifrost and restore peace to the nine planets.
The whole world was in an uproar.
They finally knew the truth of the matter and the crisis Earth was facing.
Asgard, the supposed protector, has already admitted its helplessness. Even if their prince came to Earth to fight, who could save the planet?
The answer was undoubtedly only one—Chaldea.
Shen He had schemed and deceived, finally pushing the situation to this point.
Now, everything was just fine.
"War is upon us, a foregone conclusion."
Shen He turned his head, refocusing on the camera. He raised his voice slightly, stating his ultimate goal:
"Chaldea isn't particularly adept at dealing with war, but we still have confidence in our ability to protect human civilization. However—the entire Earth must unite."
"In the past, we've wasted too much power on infighting, on suspicion, and on hurting each other."
"And now, before the entire new world, the entire Earth is a true community of interests."
"A new era has arrived!"
