In English, both 'Avenge' and 'Revenge' mean to seek retribution.
However, the difference is that 'Avenge' means to seek justice for others, while 'Revenge' is primarily for oneself.
It is based on this meaning that Marvel named its Superhero team The Avengers.
The Avengers.
It highlights a righteous vengeance.
So when Fang Yuan spoke this name, it immediately made many people feel a sense of power.
Someone was fighting for them.
Fang Yuan understood these nuances all too well; when it came to making people identify with a cause, even Vought from The Boys couldn't compare to him.
Thus, as soon as the name 'Avengers' was released, it immediately became a top-tier focus for the entire World.
After all, the members of this team included two top-tier icons: Thor and Iron Man.
However, some people were not happy about Fang Yuan's unauthorized announcement of the Superhero team.
"The Avengers?"
"You definitely peeked at my proposal!"
Fury grumbled to Fang Yuan's face.
Because he was the one who came up with the name 'Avengers' back in 1997, and he never expected Fang Yuan to steal it.
"Hey, it's all for the contribution to Earth, why differentiate between yours and mine?" Fang Yuan waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
He was already a 'braised egg'; if his face got any darker, he'd turn into a piece of coal.
"Are you really sure about this?" Fury asked.
"We'll do our best." Fang Yuan wouldn't give a definitive answer.
Being too certain would ruin the tense atmosphere.
Fury indeed frowned: "Is the Sorcerer Supreme not going to act?"
"Do you think the Frost Giants are the only ones attacking?" Fang Yuan gave him a sidelong glance. "The Frost Giants only invade Earth once every thousand years, and Demon Gods from other dimensions are taking this opportunity to find loopholes. The Sorcerer Supreme is currently in battle."
Well, the Ancient One was currently in a difficult battle with books like 'An Actor Prepares', 'Film Acting Techniques', and 'Theory of Drama and Performance'.
Fury didn't doubt him, and his frown deepened.
"Let Natasha and Clint go with you," Fury finally suggested.
He wanted S.H.I.E.L.D. to have at least some sense of participation.
"Are you sure you want two ordinary people to deal with Frost Giants?" Fang Yuan asked back.
It wasn't that he didn't want Black Widow and Hawkeye, but guns and cannons were useless against Frost Giants; could he really rely on Hawkeye's 'pew pew pew'?
It would be better to let these two make their debut at another time.
Hearing this, Fury had no choice but to drop it.
On the other side, General Ross was watching the show.
"My entire unit was smashed to pieces, and just these few people think they can beat the Frost Giants?"
Ross looked unconvinced.
"The better it sounds now, the more disappointing it will be later!"
However, seeing the footage of Fang Yuan bringing Thor and Iron Man to save the day, Ross felt a bit of regret in his heart.
If he hadn't been so stubborn and held such strong malice toward Fang Yuan and Stark, and had accepted Fang Yuan's help, perhaps his army wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.
But how could Ross know that if he had been willing to accept help back then, Fang Yuan wouldn't have offered it in the first place?
"While the Frost Giants haven't assembled their full army yet, we must take the initiative!"
Inside Stark Tower, Fang Yuan was explaining the battle plan to Tony, Thor, and the others.
"Push the battlefield as far out of the city as possible to give the Military enough time to organize and leave space for heavy firepower to be used."
"We certainly can't stop hundreds of Frost Giants, but if we can kill or capture Laufey, the threat of the Frost Giants will basically be eliminated!"
The others also agreed with Fang Yuan's plan; as an elite squad, a decapitation strike was definitely the most suitable for them.
So, after some simple preparations, Fang Yuan and his group set off.
With magical guidance, Fang Yuan quickly found the location of the Frost Giants' base, which even Earth's technology couldn't detect.
It was not far outside New York City.
Natasha and Hawkeye Clint Barton personally flew them over in a Quinjet.
Although the two had not officially joined the Avengers yet, it didn't stop them from providing help.
"The snow and wind ahead are too strong; the plane can't fly in," Clint said.
Fang Yuan nodded: "Then let's do it here."
Hawkeye landed on the ground and opened the plane's hatch; immediately, a blast of cold air hit them.
"Whew, this place is really cold enough."
Bruce Banner shivered, shrinking his neck and rubbing his hands together.
Outside was already a scene of ice and snow; it was hard to imagine this was in July, which should be quite hot.
The one suffering the most was Banner; before transforming into the Hulk, he had an ordinary person's body and couldn't withstand the cold at all.
But Banner couldn't transform now, or else the Hulk might be the first to attack his teammates.
Tony and Howard were also ordinary people, but they were protected by their Iron Man Suits.
Thor was a god and could withstand the cold.
Fang Yuan's physical fitness was also enough to make him fearless of the cold.
So only Banner wore thick thermal clothing, clumsily following the team.
There were a total of nine people in their group.
In addition to the five from the Avengers, the Asgardian Four were also with them.
After many days of recuperation, they had finally regained their strength, and since it was a battle against Frost Giants, they were happy to fight even if it wasn't for Asgard.
Asgardians hated Frost Giants that much; after all, the Frost Giants were the last life-and-death enemies they had encountered.
"The snow and wind here are much stronger than in New York; how could the Military not find it?" Banner asked as they walked.
"I've seen the Military reports; there are five such places outside the city, and the authorities can't confirm which one it is," Tony explained.
But this made Banner even more confused: "Military reports? I thought your relationship with the Military wasn't great; they actually let you see the reports?"
Since Stark Industries stopped doing arms business, the Military's attitude toward Stark had been much worse than before, not to mention the Commander this time was Ross.
Tony chuckled: "They didn't."
"Uh..."
Banner was speechless; he now knew why some people in the Military hated Tony Stark.
"Thor, can you change the weather here?" Fang Yuan asked Thor.
When Thor used thunder, he could also influence the weather; if he could neutralize the ice and snow, it would weaken the Frost Giants' strength.
But Thor scratched his head: "I can only add more lightning."
"Never mind then."
Fang Yuan had to act himself.
He used magic to condense a ball of fire in his hand, then used the Lamplighter's ability to burn the flame even more vigorously until it was two stories high, then used the [Riptide Template] to create a massive tornado.
After combining with the fire, the wind aided the flames, and a fire tornado a hundred meters high was formed!
Not only Tony and the others, but even Sif and the others from Asgard cast surprised looks at Fang Yuan.
In their minds, Earth had always been a representative of backwardness and weakness; they hadn't expected there to be such a powerful person.
"High energy reaction detected in area C6!"
The Military received the news; it's worth mentioning that the research team that detected the location was the trio of Erik, Jane, and Daisy, who were the authorities in this field.
To be precise, the authorities were Professor Erik and Jane Foster; Daisy was just a big-breasted mascot.
General Ross quickly ordered the army to move out, approaching the direction where Fang Yuan and the others were.
Although he disliked Fang Yuan and Stark, and had many opinions about Banner for taking away his daughter, this was a war; he had to provide support when needed.
On Fang Yuan's side, the fire tornado grew larger and larger, heading straight for the Frost Giant camp. Laufey quickly harnessed the wind and snow to stop it, which did indeed reduce the intensity of the fire tornado.
But this also exposed his own position.
"Thor, at your five o'clock!" Fang Yuan shouted.
To prevent Thor from not understanding, Tony thoughtfully used his lights to guide him. Seeing this, Thor immediately threw Mjolnir, which had been gathering lightning for a long time.
Mjolnir, along with the force of ten thousand thunders, went straight for Laufey. Laufey had no choice but to dodge, but this also interrupted his spellcasting, especially since Thor charged ahead, leaving Laufey no time to perform sorcery again.
As a result, Fang Yuan's fire tornado, under his continuous injection of flames, quickly swept through the entire camp, injuring many Frost Giants.
Most importantly, the wind and snow that had changed New York's weather also stopped.
"The sky is clearing, scramble the fighters!" The Military immediately mobilized, with planes and tanks already prepared rushing toward the battlefield.
Because it was on the highway not far outside New York City, the fighter squadron arrived first.
The battle here had already begun; Thor was engaged in a duel with Laufey, Tony and Howard were providing support from the sky, and Fang Yuan had covered the entire battlefield with flames, forming fire dragons that constantly roamed, melting the ice and snow to weaken the Frost Giants' combat effectiveness.
The Asgardian Four did their best to stop the Frost Giants from heading toward New York, and Banner also transformed into the Hulk and started a smashing spree.
But looking at the overall situation, the Avengers were still at a disadvantage because there were simply too many Frost Giants.
"There are at least five hundred Frost Giants here, and seven giant beasts!" the pilot reported to the command center.
The Frost Beasts were as tall as three Frost Giants and served as Laufey's tanks.
"Begin bombing immediately!" Ross ordered at once.
"But..." the pilot hesitated, "the Avengers are also down there. Shouldn't we wait until they separate?"
Ross didn't care: "It'll be too late by the time they separate. Execute the order!"
He only wanted to see results; he didn't care about casualties.
The fighter squadron had no choice but to start bombing, dropping aerial bombs on the battlefield as if they cost nothing. Since the Frost Giants were large enough, they didn't even need much aiming.
Boom!
Boom!
The Frost Giants' physical fitness was indeed high, but being hit by concentrated large-yield bombs was still difficult to handle. Although they didn't necessarily die upon impact, they were all injured.
But the others fighting on the field were having a hard time.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
A shell landed near Volstagg, knocking him over and sending him rolling several times.
"Oh my god, the Military is actually firing on our superheroes at the same time!"
Suddenly, Ross heard this sentence from the screen broadcasting the news. He quickly looked over and found that Black Widow Natasha was actually doing a live news broadcast from the Quinjet!
"Damn it!"
Ross felt his vision go dark, knowing he was going to get scolded again.
