------------------------------------------------
As Jane Foster took over the pressure from Thor, Jessica Jones finally freed up her hands.
In no time at all, working together with Wanda, she cleared away the unmanned Iron Man armors darting around in the sky.
She looked up at the gold and red figure in the air that was still relentlessly bombarding Angela.
"Hey! You tin can!"
Jessica shouted, her legs kicking off the ground with immense force.
"Get down here!"
She shot into the sky like a cannonball, accurately grabbing Tony Stark's ankle.
"What?!"
Tony felt a sudden weight on his foot, and the thrust of his thrusters was instantly neutralized.
"Down you go!"
Jessica exerted power from her waist, performing an over-the-shoulder throw in mid-air.
"Boom—!"
The mark 43 was slammed into the road like a swatted fly, smashing a human-shaped crater into the pavement.
Before Tony could even get back up...
A wisp of red mist had already enveloped him.
Wanda walked over, her hands forming seals. The scarlet Chaos Energy acted like superglue, firmly locking all the armor's joints.
"Hydraulic system failure! Power output cut!"
Tony was wrapped in scarlet energy, unable to move a muscle.
"Behave yourself, don't move," Wanda said coldly.
Jessica stepped forward, her hands gripping the helmet as her Vibranium arm shield popped out to wedge into the gaps.
"Warning! External pressure overload! Neck armor damaged!"
Tony heard Friday's warnings, but he was helpless.
With a roar, Jessica exerted a sudden burst of strength.
"Creeeeak—Snap!!"
The mark 43's helmet was forcibly ripped off by Jessica!
Revealing Tony Stark's panicked face inside.
"Hey! That's very impolite..." Tony was about to say something.
"Goodnight!"
Ignoring him completely, Jessica delivered a direct knife-hand strike to the back of Tony's neck.
"Ugh..."
Tony's eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
On the other side.
Hawkeye Barton was still putting up a desperate resistance.
Hiding behind an overturned bus, the bowstring in his hand twanged repeatedly.
But this time, all of his arrows were rendered useless.
"Watch me!"
Speedball Robbie Baldwin, relying on his kinetic equipment, bounced around the battlefield.
Every time Barton fired an arrow, Robbie would accurately leap over, blocking it with his body or an energy shield.
Every attack was neutralized.
"Damn it! What are you? A flea?!" Barton shouted in frustration.
"I'm Speedball! Man!"
Robbie shouted triumphantly.
"That's enough."
In the air, Firecracker Angela saw the right moment and pushed out with both hands.
Two fire dragons roared forth, completely blocking all of Barton's escape routes and forcing him out from behind cover.
The moment Barton jumped out, scarlet energy immediately coiled around him.
He remained in a charging posture, frozen stiffly in place, with only his eyeballs able to move.
Then, Jessica walked over and delivered another clean, sharp knife-hand strike.
Barton collapsed.
Now, only one person remained on the field.
Thor Odinson.
At this moment, although he had lost mjolnir, his physical constitution was still terrifyingly strong.
However, in front of Jane Foster, who was wielding Mjolnir, he didn't seem to have any advantage other than being able to take a beating.
"Bang!"
Jane swung the hammer with the force of a thousand thunderclaps, sending Thor flying backward. He smashed into a fire hydrant, and a pillar of water shot into the sky.
"Cough, cough..."
Thor crawled out of the puddle in a sorry state, drenched from head to toe with his hair plastered to his face. He no longer had even a shred of the Thunder God's majesty.
"This... this is impossible..."
Thor looked at the silver-armored goddess floating in the air, his eyes dazed.
That strike had not only hurt his body but seemed to have knocked some sense back into his head.
He shook his head and looked up at Jane in the sky.
In that moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Odin.
"Jane...?"
Thor murmured to himself, his eyes gradually regaining clarity.
He suddenly remembered everything that had happened.
The Avengers Tower, Lorelei, his controlled friends, and the bastarly things he had said to Jane.
"Oh... by Odin..."
"...What have I done?"
Thor's face instantly turned pale, and he punched the ground in regret.
He suddenly looked up and shouted at Jane:
"Jane!! My love!! I'm awake!!"
"I swear! That wasn't me just now! It was sorcery! My heart has always belonged to you!!"
Thor stood up and opened his arms, wanting to go forward and embrace Jane.
"Jane! This is great! We won! Quick, give me the hammer, let's go..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the atmosphere around him was a bit off.
Jane didn't move; the gaze beneath her mask remained cold.
And around him, a circle of people had surrounded him at some point.
Jessica Jones was cracking her knuckles, making them pop.
The fireball in Angela's hand flickered ominously, her gaze unfriendly.
Speedball Robbie held his hands in a sunflower-like shape, charging up energy.
The red light on Wanda's fingertips was like a snake's tongue flickering.
"Saying this now isn't really your style, Thor."
Jessica sneered.
"You were pretty fierce when you were hitting women just now, weren't you? Now that you're about to lose, you're suddenly 'awake'?"
"Are you trying to steal your brother Loki's title of 'God of Mischief'?"
"No! I really am..."
Thor grew anxious; he really was awake!
"I swear in the name of Asgard! I..."
"Prove it?" Jane spoke coldly.
"How... how do I prove it?"
"Stand still and let us give you a beating." Jane raised the hammer. "If you don't fight back, that will prove you're really awake."
"What?!" Thor's eyes widened. "What kind of logic is that?!"
"It's Earth logic!"
Jessica shouted: "Sisters! Get him! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
Boom boom boom—!
A barrage of multi-colored attacks instantly submerged Thor.
"Wait! Not the face! Jane! Control your friends! Ow—!"
...Meanwhile, at the Avengers Tower.
An invisible figure was carefully moving along the wall.
The Invisible Man Shabby Loudon.
The high-tech tactical vest that allowed him to turn invisible had already been scrapped in the previous evasion battles.
To remain hidden, he could only return to nature's embrace once again.
But for Shabby, this was already a routine occurrence.
What truly gave him a headache was... that Metal Gag Thor had brought that could seal Lorelei's voice.
It was a physical object.
It couldn't turn invisible.
If he held it in his hand, it would look like a metal ball floating in the air, exposing his position in a heartbeat.
He had no pockets to put it in, and he couldn't carry it in his hand.
"This is trouble..."
Shabby had a miserable expression.
"If I don't want to be discovered, I have to hide it inside my body..."
His mouth? No. Thor had said that this thing would activate and expand as soon as it touched lips.
Shabby glanced at his own body, his expression changing repeatedly.
As a man, the 'internal space' he could utilize was very limited.
"No... absolutely not."
