The world has deviated slightly.
The expressions of future Steve Rogers, Thanos, and others were far from pleasant; they've always thought Uehara Naraku became the future great demon king merely by luck.
It now seems their understanding had gone a bit astray.
Turns out, Uehara Naraku wasn't some ordinary person, nor a superhero who got powerful by a chance encounter with the Tesseract's energy, much less a lucky individual favored by the Akatsuki.
They had been fooled…
This bastard…
Had extraordinary power from the very beginning!
Had intricate connections with the Akatsuki from the very start!
"I've always been the leader of the Akatsuki…"
"Such nostalgia…"
"I miss the days as an intern…"
"But time flies… Maybe after today, there'll be a chance to experience the life of an intern again… even if it's just pretend…"
Uehara Naraku walked to the glass wall, glancing down at the battle between the Avengers Squad and the Chitauri on the ground, then slowly raised his head to look at the increasingly dark sky.
That was the shadow cast by the arrival of the Akatsuki army!
Uchiha Madara, Aizen Sousuke, and others led hundreds of Arrancar Hollows along with tens of thousands of the Gillian Hollow Legion slowly descending on Earth from outer space!
A vast blue slash flew out!
A Chitauri troop carrier was slashed in half by this attack!
Even after slicing through the massive troop carrier, the force of the slash continued, leaving a deep gorge on the ground in New York!
This scene terrified the entire New York battlefield!
Everyone couldn't help but look up, staring at the black cloud gradually descending, and they could all feel the terrifying pressure inside it, making it hard to breathe!
"What is that…"
On the ground, Steve Rogers clutched a Chitauri weapon, struggling to keep himself standing as a terrifying pressure forced him almost to his knees…
What the hell is that thing!
Natasha Romanoff lay feebly on the ground, dazed, using her last bit of strength to shoot a nearby Chitauri.
"That's the Akatsuki army!"
Tony Stark descended from the sky in his Iron Suit, blasting a Chitauri soldier away with an energy cannon, standing guard by Natasha's side: "Hey, can you stay awake?"
"..."
Natasha shook her head powerlessly.
In truth, it wasn't just her.
Apart from Thor and the Hulk barely managing to withstand the pressure from the Akatsuki members, Hawkeye Clint Barton was also in a sorry state, leaning against a rooftop railing, struggling to hold onto his consciousness…
As for the citizens of New York City on the ground, they had long since passed out under this pressure.
Boom!
Ferocious Gillian Hollows roamed New York's streets, their mouths unleashing red Ceros that obliterated clusters of Chitauri soldiers!
Hundreds of Arrancar Hollows floated above New York, occasionally raising a hand to fire emerald Ceros, eliminating any Chitauri stragglers…
With the Akatsuki army's arrival, the situation on the New York battlefield flipped instantly, and the Chitauri army quickly fell into disarray…
"How is this possible…"
Loki's hands trembled slightly as he looked at the skies filled with Arrancar Hollows and then at the six floating Void Thrones, a grim look flashing across his face!
At this point…
He had no way out!
No matter which side these monstrous reinforcements belonged to, he had to continue this battle; what did it matter how strong these monsters were?
The Chitauri fleet was just beyond the space portal!
"All units, attack!"
A golden light enveloped Loki, and he donned his Asgardian attire again, looking up at the stable space portal!
A dozen massive troop carriers emerged from the portal!
"Heh, such a weak world…"
Uchiha Madara sat on a Void Throne, looking disdainfully at the Chitauri army flowing from the space portal, grinning as he said: "Slow down their pace… Uehara seems to need some time."
Aizen Sousuke frowned, resting his hand on his cheek as he murmured leisurely: "Indeed a troublesome matter… perhaps it would be easier for us to destroy this world instead."
"Never underestimate a world too much…"
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni shook his head, slowly closing his eyes: "This world is much bigger than we imagined… this is just a corner… let's rest a bit… hopefully, no troublesome problems will arise…"
After all, they all possessed the Undying Body.
Apart from the Gillian Hollow Legion, the entire Arrancar Legion had been subjected to Reanimation, so almost all beings with consciousness were Undying.
The Akatsuki army remained at ease.
However, with the arrival of this powerful army in New York, the entire Earth was in an uproar, with discussions about the alien army landing in New York happening all over the world.
The one most frantic…
Was undoubtedly the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.
Aboard the Helicarrier.
Nick Fury watched tensely as the invading army landed on the monitors, witnessing the Chitauri wreaking havoc in New York yet powerless against the Akatsuki army…
"Nick Fury."
A group of people suddenly appeared on the screen.
The officials from the World Security Council, upon witnessing the chaos in New York, could no longer sit still, each of their faces bearing an expression of urgency.
