Chapter 1191 The End of Wakanda, the Wise Thor

The vanguards were incredibly fast, reaching the barrier in just a few breaths, and then charging headlong into it without fear of death.

boom! boom! boom!

Dense yet faint ripples spread across the barrier, keeping the terrifying monsters at bay.

However, this situation only lasted for a few seconds.

The barrier remained strong, but the sheer number and brutality of the Vanguard Guard, who were fearless of pain and death, offered no reassurance.

A large number of vanguard guards clung tightly to the barrier, showing no sign of relaxing even as their bodies were burned through by energy.

Despite the intense burning pain, they struggled to get their limbs or heads through the protective barrier.

The black body struggled to pass through the barrier, only to be burned red, and then quickly cut off, instantly covering the front line of the defense with red limbs.

"They're committing suicide." Okoye stared wide-eyed, unable to hide her horror. She was the captain of the Royal Guard and one of Wakanda's most powerful warriors. She had seen her share of big scenes, but this kind of suicidal mass charge was something she had never witnessed before.

The barrier blocked the vast majority of the vanguard guards, but some 'lucky ones' were able to break through the defenses and drag their bodies, which had been scalded or were half-cooked, into the barrier.

These vanguard guards all suffered varying degrees of damage, but their offensive capabilities remained undiminished.

They opened their gaping maws, letting out terrifying roars, and charged towards the frontal defensive line using both hands and feet.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Proxima Midnight's lips. Although only a few Vanguard Guards could break through the barrier and launch an effective attack on Wakanda's defensive lines, they were enough to form an army that no mere human could withstand.

"Lock on formation!"

The border tribes of Wakanda swayed their blankets, and blue energy barriers were pieced together to form a simple defensive line.

They then rested their spears on their shields and aimed them at the charging vanguard like rifles.

"Attack," T'Challa commanded.

The spear fired blue energy projectiles, which could kill the target if they hit.

Others with long-range attack capabilities were also busy: Iron Man Tony Stark, War Machine Rhodey, and Falcon Sam flew to the front lines, either firing energy pulses or unleashing a barrage of bullets.

Bucky was holding a submachine gun, while Peter Quill was holding two energy guns, constantly pulling the trigger.

Everyone was trying to stop the vanguard from advancing and to reduce their numbers as much as possible.

Sam launched three Redwing drones that slammed into the three-headed Vanguard, while the bionic flight wing grazed past them. "See their teeth?" he asked.

"Alright, Sam."

"Step back, don't burn your wings," Rhodes said, then flew to the front of the shield and dropped a row of bombs in the densest area of ​​the Vanguard Guards.

boom! boom! boom!

The continuous explosions effectively reduced the number of Vanguard Guards, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

They charged through the raging flames, their bodies ablaze, yet they did not cease their advance.

As the number of Vanguard Guards increased to the point that they could no longer be accommodated on the front, they naturally began to move to the sides to find gaps in the defense.

“Captain, if they bypass the defenses and come in from behind, there will be no one to stand between them and Vision,” Rhodes said.

"Then we'd better make sure they're all in front of us."

“How do we do it?” Okoye asked T'Challa.

T'Challa hesitated for a few seconds before giving a reluctant answer, "Open the barrier."

After saying that, he pressed the earpiece and said, "On my command, open the barrier in Northwest District 17."

"Please confirm, Your Majesty."

You mean you want to open the barrier?

“On my command,” T'Challa emphasized.

“This will be the end of Wakanda,” Mbaku, the chief of the Jariba tribe, murmured solemnly.

“That was also the most spectacular apocalypse in history.” Okoye gripped his spear tightly, ready for battle.

"Luckily, I put the praying mantis in the back, otherwise this scene would have scared her to tears," Peter Quill said with a forced smile.

“Mr. Quill,” Peter Parker glanced awkwardly but politely at his slightly trembling legs, “Are you sure you don’t need to rest?”

"Hahaha!!!" Drax burst into laughter. "Doesn't your face hurt?"

This kid is so annoying.

Peter Quill's face darkened, and he forced a smile, saying, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. I'm just relaxing my leg muscles."

"Disengage!" T'Challa said.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Wakanda troops stood at attention, removed their shields, and dismantled their defensive formation.

T'Challa stepped to the front of the group, shouted "Long live Wakanda!" and put on his Black Panther mask, leading the charge.

Halfway there, T'Challa ordered the barrier to be opened.

A gap several meters wide was opened in the huge barrier, and the vanguard army that had been swarming in front of the barrier rushed toward the gap like sharks smelling blood.

A great battle was about to break out. The sounds of tearing, hacking, and fists colliding mingled together, forming a meat grinder centered on the murky river.

"How much longer, Su Rui?" T'Challa released the energy stored in his Black Panther suit, and the purple shockwave sent the Vanguard Guards within a dozen meters flying before he could ask.

"I'm just getting started, brother."

In the laboratory behind, Vision lay on the experimental table, and Su Rui was doing his best to remove the Mind Stone connected to Vision's forehead.

However, generating over two trillion neurons is a huge undertaking for this gifted young woman, and it simply cannot be completed in a short period of time.

"You better hurry up."

In the time it takes to say just a few words, T'Challa is back in the fight.

"This can't go on, the casualties are too high," Tony said in a deep voice. "Fury, what happened to the promised fire support?"

“I thought you’d forgotten about me!” Nick Fury said calmly from the Helicarrier. “It should be about time we arrive.”

“Sir,” the AI’s voice on Friday announced, “multiple missiles have been detected heading toward Wakanda.”

Tony instinctively looked into the distance and saw more than a dozen missiles piercing through the clouds, trailing white exhaust fumes, rapidly approaching their location.

"Wow! It really brings back memories!" Tony exclaimed, a hint of ease in his voice that he himself didn't realize.

"Jellicoe missile, manufactured by Stark Industries."

"Ever since Stark withdrew from the arms market, these are becoming increasingly rare," Nick Fury said half-jokingly. "The military only has this much left. When S.H.I.E.L.D. took away these stockpiles, those generals were practically begging to be eaten alive."

“I don’t remember selling that many.”

"Uh... your uncle sold it."

You know he's a perfectly qualified, unscrupulous arms dealer.

Upon hearing this, Tony's face twitched; he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As the Jericho missiles approached their targets, each missile split into more than a dozen warheads, which accurately scattered near the troop transport ship.

Rumble!

Explosions rang out continuously, and shockwaves surged like waves, frantically shredding the dense vanguard army, but had little impact on the melee within the barrier.

After the explosion, the troop transport ship remained standing, but it was clearly damaged, with thick black smoke rising from it.

What's even more chilling is that the hundreds of meters from the troop transport ship to the barrier are covered with the corpses of the vanguard guards, causing a certain disruption in the troop transport.

Although some vanguard guards still rushed out of the troop transport ships, their numbers were greatly reduced, and the pressure on the defensive line was significantly reduced for a time.

"Damn it!" Proxima Midnight angrily swung her sword, then looked coldly at Ebony Maw. "You could have stopped it."

"We have as many Vanguard Guards as we want, and even if they are all wiped out after this battle, there's no need to regret it," Ebony Maw said casually. "Don't forget, our master's orders are to obtain as many Infinity Stones as possible, and even if we can't do that, we should still weaken Earth's defenses."

"The Vanguard is just the vanguard; the main army is still outside the atmosphere." General Corvus Glaive gave Proxima Midnight a wink, and she barely managed to suppress her anger.

At that moment, the black dwarf opened its mouth and uttered a few words in an alien language.

“No, wait, wait a little longer.” Ebony Maw looked at Tony Stark, who was constantly releasing pulses in mid-air, and Stephen Strange, who was using the Ring of Laggardor as a throwing knife and shield. “Let’s wait until their weapons and mana are almost depleted before we go in.”

"I'll deal with that gem guardian and Black Dwarf, and try to get the Time Stone."

"You two find an opportunity to sneak into the rear and retrieve the Mind Stone."

......

The battle between the outer atmosphere temple and the monster ship in Asgard continues.

Inside the control room, Aaron stared at the countdown on the screen, which showed less than three minutes remaining, his face terribly grim.

What the hell!

You are really persistent!

"Hela is about to collapse." Wanda looked at the screen as Hela, who was continuously channeling divine power and sealing Surtur, was filled with worry.

The barrier she created with the power of death was burned through by flames, and terrifying heat spilled out from the gap, burning down large areas of the city.

"Don't worry, this little bit of damage won't hurt her much," Aaron said dismissively.

"Thor's at the Rainbow Bridge," Banner said, looking at another screen. "Wait, Loki seems to be almost there too."

“Odin’s children are all here now,” Aaron said with interest.

Thor ran breathlessly to the Rainbow Bridge, glanced at it briefly and roughly guessed the current situation, then quickened his pace and ran towards Hela.

But after running only a few steps, he was blocked by the giant wolf Fenris.

Looking at the giant black wolf before him, its pupils glowing green and its fangs dripping with saliva, and sensing the sealed divine power within his body, Thor swallowed hard.

If you take that bite, it'll probably break in two!

Gulu!

"Um... I think we might not be enemies."

At least not now.

Roar!

Fenris completely ignored it and opened its blood-red maw to bite down.

Thor quickly dodged to the side, then attempted a slide tackle to get under the giant wolf.

A sharp claw suddenly slammed down, pressing against Thor's chest, and a spiderweb-like crack immediately appeared on the crystal bridge beneath him.

puff!

Thor's eyes widened as he struggled to push the claws away.

However, unable to harness the power of Thor, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary Asgardian and could not shake Fenris's minions at all.

Fenris slowly lowered his head, baring his sharp teeth at Thor.

"Sister!" In his desperation, Thor shouted to Hela.

"Ok?"

Hela paused for a moment, looked in the direction the sound came from, and then rolled her eyes in disgust.

How could she have such a brother? Or rather, how could Odin have such a useless son?

Despite her grievances, she decided to spare his life again, considering the heartfelt "sister" he addressed.

"Bring him here."

Fenris shook his head, grabbed Thor in his mouth, and threw him in front of Hela.

"You shouldn't have come here. What you should have done was find a spaceship and run away."

“To save my mother,” Thor said, then added, “and to save Asgard.”

"Heh!" Hela sneered disdainfully, "I believe the first half, but the second half... is just self-deception."

"You're not even a Father, yet you think you can stop Surtur?"

"Unseal my seal, it might help you a little."

"Forget it!" Hela made no attempt to hide her disdain. "Go to the teleportation room. Frigga is opening the Rainbow Bridge. Follow her and leave."

"how about you?"

"I am the Queen of Asgard, and my divine power comes from Asgard."

All of you can run away, but I have to stay behind.

You're the only Asgardian god left who has awakened his divine power. Try your best to survive, and don't be such a useless piece of trash when we meet again.

Thor opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, Loki arrived in a small spaceship. The hatch opened, and Loki, with an overly familiar smile, said, "Dear brothers and sisters, I've come to save you."

Where is Mother?

Hela rolled her eyes at him. "Teleportation room, let's take her and this burden with us!"

“Understood, my sister.” Loki quickly winked at Thor, signaling him to get on the spaceship.

“No.” Thor clenched his fists and shook his head firmly. “I can’t leave.”

Loki: ...

Even heroes need to face reality!

Hela still has Gaius to rescue her, so even if she loses, she definitely won't die.

What do you have? If Asgard really falls, you might just become a corpse floating in space.

Are you going to stay and wait to die?

"Ragnarok began because of me, and I have every reason to fight to the last moment," Thor said righteously. Then he noticed Hela's scrutinizing gaze and mumbled guiltily, "I brought back Surtur's Crown and put it with the Eternal Flame."

These two things together constitute Ragnarok.

"Damn it!" Hela was stunned for a few seconds before she couldn't help but swear, "Are you an idiot?"

Thor pursed his lips. More than one person had said this in the past few days, making him start to doubt himself.

Could it be that I really...

No, impossible, absolutely impossible. Thor is full of wisdom.
