As the magnetic field around them returned to calm, Polaris clapped her hands in satisfaction and continued with her work as a mover.

But on the other side, General Dorian was dumbfounded. He asked, "What's going on? The portal was interrupted. Who did this?"

The monitoring personnel shook their heads. They were standing next to a door-shaped large device, which was essential for opening the portal.

This device was enormous, even larger than several battleships, and right next to this door-shaped device was a spaceship almost the same size as the portal. It was the Chitauri's Will-class battleship.

The limitation of Chitauri's portal was that they had to create a real physical door first, one large enough to accommodate a battleship, before they could open the portal. Moreover, these portals could only be used a few times before becoming unusable, and the cost was comparable to that of a battleship.

This was the form of portals possessed by most civilizations that were at a similar level of development as the Chitauri. In contrast, portals like Earth's, where a tiny person could create a portal the size of the moon with a wave of their hand, sounded like pure mythology to them.

Dorian was completely perplexed, so he could only say, "Restart the portal and try again."

After Polaris had finished moving the last batch of wreckage, she was planning to return to Earth and check if there were any stragglers. However, as she was on the road back, she felt changes in the magnetic field again.

For mutants like them, who had a natural connection to the magnetic field, this sensation was akin to the persistent buzzing of a fly around their ears—it didn't bite, but it was highly annoying.

Polaris shrugged her shoulders, shivered slightly, and impatiently waved her hand, restoring calm to the surrounding magnetic field. But just as she was about to set off again, that strange sensation returned.

Polaris had a short temper, and the multiple failures of the wormhole had already put her on edge. She knew she couldn't vent her frustration on Stark and the others, so she held it in.

However, this time, faced with an inexplicable fluctuation in the magnetic force, she couldn't contain her temper.

Polaris stretched out her arms, her hair floating without wind, and the magnetic field quickly changed invisibly to the naked eye within a large area around her.

It was only then that Polaris realized that someone else seemed to be trying to open a spatial tunnel here. She furrowed her brows, sensed the direction of the anomaly, slowly closed her eyes, and extended one hand, then clenched it in the air.

"Boom!"

At the edge of the Chitauri galaxy, a bright point of light burst forth, and the giant door was blown into a burst of sparks.

The destruction caused by an equipment of this magnitude exploding in place was immense. The Will-class battleship that had been preparing to pass through the portal was affected and thrown a great distance, with pieces of debris flying everywhere.

Fortunately, Dorian and the researchers had already retreated inside the battleship, so they were not killed by the explosion. However, watching the enormous portal explode into sparks right in front of their eyes was an unparalleled shock.

Dorian was truly panicking now. If losing six ordinary battleships could be accepted, the explosion of the Chitauri Empire's portal meant that one of the only three Will-class battleships had been damaged. If he returned to the homeworld now, he would undoubtedly be thrown into the arena to await his fate.

But things had already escalated to this point, and Dorian had no choice but to make a desperate move. He gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates, "Board the ship! Take control of this Will-class battleship and get it out of here!"

His decision was swift. Therefore, when most of the people on the Will-class battleship had not yet reacted, Dorian's subordinates had already taken control of the large spaceship. Just as they were about to accelerate away, a clear and somewhat indifferent female voice sounded in their ears.

"Where do you think you're going?"

A small figure with green hair, appearing like a speck of dust in space, stood next to the massive battleship.

Then, this speck of dust delivered a resounding slap, and the battleship began to spin as it flew out of the galaxy.

Seeing the Will-class spaceship wildly spinning on the magic screen, Lady Lokideep took a deep breath and sighed deeply.

She connected with Stark's telephone and said, "My choice of target wasn't good. Your civilization's destructive power in science and technology is too great."

Stark only saw Polaris disappear from the surveillance footage, but from Lady Loki's tone, he could probably guess what Polaris was up to.

Lady Loki's reasoning was sound. Clearly, the Chitauri were not a civilization that had transcended magnetic field control. Most of their space travel technology still had to consider magnetic field and stance issues. When they encountered mutants like Polaris or Magneto, who had a natural affinity for magnetic forces, they were virtually defenseless.

Even someone like Spider-Man, with his power specialization, could cause irreversible damage to their metal battleships. Not to mention, Earth still had many monsters that hadn't been released yet. If Hulk had just arrived, a single kick could send the Chitauri rolling back to their homeworld, literally.

"So, what do we do?" Stark asked.

Lady Loki thought for a moment and said, "Science and technology civilizations won't work. I'll go find the magic side. You wait here; I'll summon some help."

In the space near Earth, the wreckage of the exploding spaceship had been mostly cleared away. Strange placed Spider-Man's soul back into his body. Peter was still very confused and didn't know what had happened.

When he turned around, he saw Schiller's stern gaze. Peter stammered, "Uh, Doctor, I promise, next time I'll go to sleep early!"

Schiller snorted and pointed a finger at Earth. Peter, dejected, left. A few minutes later, a cry came from Earth, "My gaming console!"

In space, Schiller and Strange remained in place. Schiller squinted at Strange and asked, "How did the Chitauri suddenly invade? Are you hiding something from me?"

"I don't know," Strange denied.

"Oh, really? So you flew out of Earth all of a sudden just to enjoy the view?" Schiller continued to press.

Seeing that he couldn't evade Schiller's questions, Strange said, "You don't need to keep asking, and I can't say..."

According to Earth's current position, New York should still be in the middle of the night, or it might be early morning. It should be a time for sleep.

Schiller was still in his pajamas, holding a pillow in his hand. Seeing Strange's nonchalant attitude, he took a deep breath and put on a fake smile, saying...

"Well then, I'll go back to sleep."

Strange also forced a smile and said, "Go ahead, good night."

As a result, Schiller's body didn't move, but his expression became vacant for a moment. When he recovered, the muscles on his face had completely changed, and his eye contact had become cold and ruthless.

Strange stepped back a bit, extending both hands and said, "No, don't, Schiller..."

With a sudden "swish," an umbrella sword appeared in Schiller's hand. The people in New York who were gazing at the starry sky saw, after several bursts of sparks, silver flashes and shining rings continuously lighting up the sky.

Stark watched the surveillance footage, holding his head in frustration. He dialed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sky carrier and Natasha, who answered the telephone while in a bedroom, smoking a cigarette and looking at the special effects outside the window. Before Stark could speak, the female agent said:

"Sigh... I know, you want S.H.I.E.L.D. to send someone to mediate, but..."

Natasha exhaled a smoke ring, looked at the group of sorcerers flying outside the window, led by the Sorcerer Supreme, who waved his hand and said, "Supreme Sorcerer has been absent for a long time; he must be engaged in a fierce battle with those aliens. We should go and help!"

"All right! Let's go!"

With that, they streaked across the sky like shooting stars, disappearing into the distant sky. Natasha took another drag from her cigarette and said:

"Stark, has anyone ever told you..."

"What?"

"Your plans are as short-lived as your relationships, but they're always full of complications."

In space, Schiller, who had been pushed back slightly by the magic shield blocking his sword, watched as sorcerers appeared behind Strange. He snapped his fingers, and the towering figure of Khonshu appeared behind him. Soon after, Moonlight Killer Jack followed.

Strange also took a step back, snapped his fingers, and his sorcerers displayed their magic artifacts.

Seeing this, Schiller snapped his fingers again, and Pikachu, radiating yellow light, appeared behind him, followed by Grant Ward, transformed into a Yellow Lantern.

In an instant, the two sides collided, with various colors of light illuminating the sky above Earth. A dazzling display of fireworks unfolded in the atmosphere, with the advantage of magic being that there were no physical explosions or debris falling to harm the Earth's surface. However, the visual effects were particularly beautiful, even noticeable to ordinary people, showcasing the excitement of this battle.

The atmosphere on Earth had shifted from a nervous anticipation of impending doom to a popcorn-munching spectator mentality. It was like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Initially, the impact caused by the arrival of the three alien spaceships was substantial. However, shortly after, the spaceships exploded into fireworks. Humanity was left puzzled by what had happened. Then came three identical spaceships, and people started getting nervous again, only for these three ships to explode as well.

After that, the portal was supposed to reopen, and everyone was on edge, wondering what dangerous spaceships might emerge from it. But the portal flickered twice and disappeared like a fart.

Now, the portal was nowhere to be seen, and the spaceships had vanished, leaving only a bunch of superheroes fighting in space.

While Schiller and the sorcerers battled fiercely, Lady Loki picked up her staff, and a figure appeared on the opposite side as she addressed him:

"I am Lady Loki, the eldest princess of Asgard, currently planning a rebellion against the Realm of the Gods..."

"If you are willing to assist me and join me in overthrowing Thor's rule, you shall share control of half the territory of the Nine Realms with me!"

"His Excellency Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, join me!"
