2113 Pressing Closer and Closer, a Little Surprise
The Knight clone wasn’t doing well either.
The firepower of the small fighter planes couldn’t compare with the energy guns of the heavy infantry.
The heat and immense pressure damaged many parts of the nanosuit.
In just a few seconds, however, layers of grayish-black particles peeled off the armor and scattered.
This was the armor getting rid of the completely damaged nanomaterial, before it returned to normal.!!
At the same time, the prickly sensation in Luke’s internal organs quickly disappeared, and even the minor internal injuries he had just received were healed.
The two Gatling guns that he had stored in his inventory before he was hit came back out again. He aimed at the dozens of fighter planes and ships that were focused on him and fired.
This time, the Gatling guns, which were operating at maximum speed, finally returned to their normal ‘bullet chain’ mode. Instantly, hundreds of energy bullets hit the two closest ships.
The hulls of the ships that could withstand energy bullets fired by ordinary foot soldiers didn’t last more than a second in front of this level of output.
It was as if real chains of fire were sweeping over the ships.
The next moment, the pressure tore the ships to pieces.
The other dozens of ships didn’t last more than half a minute against the Gatling guns.
At that moment, the cannon fodder fighter planes of Earth’s allied forces were mobilized as they increased cover for their leader, not giving Thanos’s ships a chance to attack him.
Luke aimed the Gatling guns at the ground troops that were still pressing forward.
A moment ago, Corvus Glaive, who had finally led a small force to the edge of the city, experienced what Luke had just gone through.
The small group of enemies he was leading was instantly barraged with firepower.
Less than ten seconds later, Corvus Glaive, whose subordinates had been completely wiped out, retreated from the edge of the city.
After all, he was an elite figure in the universe, and a general under Thanos.
There was no obvious damage to his top-notch armor despite the concentrated firepower, but there were faint blue bloodstains on his mouth and nose.
He had a unique healing ability, but it was only at most similar to Luke’s Elementary Healing.
This concentrated firepower would affect his mobility significantly for the next ten minutes, and he would only fully recover in half an hour.
His wife’s injuries were not as severe since she had only been shot by an energy gun.
However, the couple wouldn’t be able to attack at full force for the time being.
Thanos’s countermeasure was very simple: Deploy the two generals, Ebony Maw and Cull Oblivion, along with more dropships and air troops to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Ebony Maw and Cull Oblivion weren’t as brash as Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight; they just stood at the rear of the troops outside Wakanda’s protective shield. They were just guarding against Luke and Tony charging in to disrupt the battle tempo.
The entire process was as steady as ever.
Clearly, Luke wasn’t the only one who could see the battlefield. Thanos, who was a battlefield veteran, could also see things very clearly.
Earth’s allied forces had the advantage in numbers, but in terms of quality, they were a level lower than Thanos’s army.
As long as Luke was prevented from crushing the ordinary troops and a large number of the superheroes were taken down, Thanos’s army would be able to suppress Earth’s allied forces bit by bit and finally crush them.
Without a large-scale army to run interference, most of the superheroes could be tied down by firepower alone — just like what happened to Knight earlier.
Nobody on Luke’s side despaired.
The core members already knew that the real victory was forcing Thanos to come out step by step.
It had only been half an hour since the battle started, but Thanos had already deployed the four generals.
This meant that they still had plenty of time.
However, the superheroes had to continue increasing the pressure.
Steve, Bucky, Rhodes, Natasha and Sam all appeared.
Unlike when they fought villains on Earth, they were all wearing Luke’s special heavy-duty reinforced nanosuits.
Although it was a heavy-duty reinforced version, it was only slightly bigger than Tony’s Mark 85.
People with OCD could also simulate skin.
Also, the nanosuit was very light, and could be adjusted to accommodate changes in shape, so it had little impact on a person’s combat movements.
That was why nobody minded wearing it.
Even if Steve’s catchphrase was “I can do this all day,” he didn’t mind using the nanosuit.
With the nanosuit’s support, he would be able to fight all day twice over, and he could create a shield out of the nanomaterial to throw at any time.
In a closer range, the shield could be recalled directly.
If he threw it too far away, he could abandon it and take out a small cartridge of nanomaterial from the public space at any time and have his suit absorb it to make up for the loss.
The others used the nanosuit in similar ways.
Rhodes was the same as ever; it was just his armor being switched out for a newer model.
Natasha didn’t use small pistols as usual, but two large energy guns that could hold more than 1,000 bullets.
At first glance, Sam looked like Iron Man with wings.
Bucky no longer relied on just his left arm since he now had metal over all his limbs.
Steve had already taken out the credit points for Bucky’s missing left arm, and the bigshot had personally treated Bucky himself.
The superheroes pressed forward step by step, and Thanos’s army, which had just established a battle rhythm, fell into chaos once more.
What was Captain America in Iron Man armor like? Cull Oblivion was the first to get a taste.
Steve deflected the ax with a shield and took the opportunity to launch a 20+ hit combo.
Steve didn’t have Luke’s Vibration punch, but he had a true-blue vibranium shield, and he almost cut off Cull Oblivion’s arm to turn him into an alien brainless version of the Winter Soldier.
In the end, it was Ebony Maw who couldn’t take it anymore. He raised his hand and sent Steve flying hundreds of meters away.
The consequence was that Ebony Maw was hit in the face by a bullet from Bucky, Steve’s good friend.
If it wasn’t for Squidward’s quick reflexes, he might’ve been blown up by the special vibranium armor-piercing bullet.
Seeing this, the alien couple, who had just caught their breaths, had no choice but to hurry over. At the same time, they mobilized the surrounding troops to provide firepower support and successfully stop the superheroes from beating them up.
The price of that was that Luke and Tony found opportunities once more to bombard the vulnerable air force.
Thanos’s army that was in the vicinity had no choice but to continue providing reinforcements to clean up the superhero team that was blocking the gap in the protective shield, which slowed down the defeat of Earth’s army.
In his warship in the sky, Thanos, who was sitting on a throne, smiled coldly. “That’s all? How boring.”
That being said, he still activated the communication button. “First team, move out. Give these hardworking Earthlings a little surprise.”
