I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Even from halfway around the world, the sound was clearly transmitted to Lei Ling's senses.

Mirror world

Gu Yi, who was being held in Lei Ming's hand, turned her head to look at his tightly furrowed brows and said:

"It seems you have other things to do..."

We can talk about this another day.

Lei Ming remained silent with a cold expression, turned his head and gave her a deep look before releasing her neck.

next second...

With a whoosh!

He instantly broke through the mirror world and flew towards the other side of the Earth.

Before the people in the temple below could react, he had already disappeared on the distant horizon…

The Ancient One also dispelled the mirror world and slowly floated down to the ground.

A group of arcane mages immediately gathered around. The leader, the Mage King, was still staring blankly at the horizon, in the direction where the thunder had disappeared, and sighed:

He's very strong...

He was stronger than any enemy I had ever faced.

"Yes."

Gu Yi put her hands behind her back and did not deny it.

Wang pressed on, asking, "Where did he go?"

"Go do what he's supposed to do."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he walked straight into the temple. Wang followed closely behind, his expression solemn.

"A powerful being from another universe—there are too many unstable factors involved!"

Are we just going to leave him like this?

"You're right..."

The Ancient One suddenly stopped and turned to look at the tense-looking Wizard King.

"But I tried, and I failed..."

Didn't you see it?

In stark contrast to the nervous king and the other mages,

Her tone and expression were unusually relaxed.

"Uh……"

Wang opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped abruptly.

Indeed, although they witnessed the entire, almost world-destroying battle between the two,

But ultimately, it's not as definite as what Gu Yi, who personally experienced the power of thunder, felt.

"Then what should we do?"

After thinking it over, Wang still felt that they couldn't just let it go like this.

Gu Yi shook her head and said softly:

"Just do nothing and wait and see."

Wang was about to retort, but Gu Yi's reply completely dispelled his idea...

"The one who just fought me was merely an avatar..."

His true form, residing in another universe, is far more powerful.

As she spoke, she glanced at Wang with interest.

"But if you're not convinced, you can challenge me..."

Wang shook his head repeatedly, his fat face jiggling uncontrollably.

"Forget it…"

Chapter 170 Usurping the Nest

Manhattan, above the Hudson River

The Chitauri warships are unleashing energy projectiles onto the bridge!

boom! boom!

Several explosions rang out in succession, sending cars flying and some being blown to pieces, their occupants burned to a crisp!

The piercing screams were incessant.

Some people, driven to the brink of utter terror, could no longer contain themselves and frantically ran towards the bridgehead behind them.

But this will only attract the attention of the Zeta Swiss soldiers even more!

Those people hadn't run far when they were blown to pieces by energy shells fired from the warship, splattering onto the windshields of the cars on either side.

"what!!!"

Inside a minivan, a little girl sitting in the back seat screamed in terror as she stared at the carcass pressed against the window, huddled tightly in the arms of a woman beside her.

Xu Wenli hugged her granddaughter Teresa tightly, looking at the mess outside, feeling both afraid and uneasy.

Don't know what to do.

"Don't make a sound, lie down!"

Elena, in the driver's seat, turned around and gave him instructions.

She then bent down and pulled out a small, .38 caliber women's handgun that she had bought for nine hundred dollars from her bag.

Gripping the pistol tightly in her hand, she took a deep breath and then chambered it, recalling her training at the shooting range.

Then, she turned her head and gave the two people in the back seat a forced smile.

"Don't worry, we'll be alright, Theresa... Mom,"

I will protect you.

Although she said that, Xu Wenli could tell from her trembling right hand holding the gun that...

The pistol didn't give her much of a sense of security.

She didn't say a word, but simply placed her hand gently on her shoulder, the emotion in her eyes speaking volumes.

She was a reasonable woman who knew that her son's death was entirely his own fault, and that Elena had done nothing wrong. She had never blamed Elena.

So even though 'Thunder' has passed away, Elena is still willing to call her 'Mom'.

As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and Elena's actions now are the best proof of that.

It's a pity that her deceased son didn't know how to cherish her while he was alive...

boom! ! !

Suddenly, a loud crash came from ahead! The bridge began to shake violently…

Elena turned her head and her face immediately filled with terror.

Not far ahead,

A large hole was blasted in the middle of the bridge by a shell fired by an alien warship, exposing the reinforced concrete inside!

As the bridge structure was damaged, the road surface around the opening also began to collapse!

Vehicles kept sliding into the large hole along both sides of the road!

Amidst screams and shouts

Elena watched helplessly as car after car crashed into the Hudson River, which was dozens of meters below, like dumplings being dropped into a pot!

To make matters worse, the steel reinforcement bars supporting the bridge's structure also broke one by one!

The bridge is about to collapse!

"fasten your seatbelt!"

Seeing the critical situation, Elena immediately started the car, put it in reverse, and did so smoothly and swiftly.

Then he stepped on the gas!

Even knowing it was a dead end, she couldn't just sit and wait to die!

Squeak!

With a screeching sound of burning tires and billowing smoke, the car rapidly reversed.

But it only backed up less than a meter!

But it was pushed back by a bus full of passengers behind it!
