“Woo, woo, woo”
In Japan, the shrill and deep alarm sounds echoed without stopping.
As the air raid sirens sounded, Shizuoka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan's two prefectures closest to Mount Fuji, began intensive evacuation work. The order was issued by the Prime Minister, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were responsible for the evacuation.
The streets were packed with people, and there were long queues on the roads leading out of the city.
In this era of advanced information technology, news cannot be blocked at all.
In fact, when the Yamata-no-Orochi just poked its head out from Mount Fuji, the videos taken by tourists exploded on the Internet.
To be fair, the Japanese government's response was not slow, but by the time official forces intervened, several counties around Mount Fuji and even several cities further away had already fallen into massive panic.
After all, anyone who is not blind can see the thick smoke and volcanic ash rising into the sky.
... ... ... .
The Federation members are no strangers to the comic book character Superman. Even Captain America, who has been dormant for more than seventy years, has read Superman comics.
He read a lot of Superman comics when he was in school. Before being injected with super serum, he always hoped that he could have a strong body like Superman to protect his family and friends.
In his impression, the Superman in the comics is extremely powerful, has super speed and the ability to fly, and his eyes can emit laser beams.
It is somewhat like a combination of Dr. Banner's transformation into the Hulk and Cyclops from the mutants, with the ability to fly, and it looks even more like him if his underwear is worn outside.
The combined abilities of several people make it very difficult to deal with an enemy. Just thinking about facing such an enemy is enough to give you a headache.
"Excuse me, Mr. Stark. When you said that Tang's strength is comparable to Superman, which era of Superman are you referring to? Silver or Gold?"
Looking at the silence of the crowd, Dr. Banner adjusted his glasses, raised his hand like an elementary school student, and asked in Stark's puzzled eyes.
"Superman is divided into different eras?" Captain America turned his head to look at Dr. Banner.
His heart skipped a beat when he heard Dr. Banner say that Superman is divided into different eras.
"Captain, you should be looking at the Superman of the Golden Age, which is the first version of the comic company. After you fell asleep, Superman went through several revisions. The Superman of the Silver Age is similar to the first version in terms of abilities, but the comic editor has enhanced his abilities!
Take defense for example. In the original version of Superman, he could be injured by a cannonball, but in the second version, the Silver Age Superman, he could fly into the core of the sun without getting hurt! "
Speaking of Superman, Dr. Banner, who gives people the image of a science and engineering geek, suddenly became energetic and began to explain science to Captain America tirelessly.
Every boy has his own superhero dream in his heart, although Dr. Banner has realized his dream to some extent.
But when he was in junior high school, his bed was also piled with comic books.
"In the setting of Silver Superman, his super breath can even blow out stars!" Dr. Banner was so excited that he danced with joy. He didn't notice that the expressions of the people around him were getting ugly one by one while talking so eloquently.
If they really have to face an enemy that can blow out a star, then why are they still here? They can just go home and take a shower and go to bed.
"Okay! Doctor, that's just a metaphor. If Tang really has the strength of Silver Superman, then we should do nothing but surrender!"
In the end, it was Tony Stark who interrupted Dr. Banner's popular science: "After all, there is no kryptonite on Earth that can restrain Superman!"
He shrugged, joking to liven up the atmosphere.
"Silver Superman is not afraid of Kryptonite according to the setting! And this does not conform to scientific logic!" Dr. Reed said seriously.
"Ahem!" Tony Stark, who had just relieved everyone's pressure, glared at Dr. Reed who interrupted him, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"JARVIS, pour another glass of whiskey for Dr. Banner and Dr. Reed!"
Jarvis controlled the mechanical arm and quickly brought two glasses of wine to Dr. Banner and Dr. Reed, shutting up the two science and engineering geeks.
"Tony, let's do this for now. Phil and I will go investigate Tang Song's company. After we find Agent Natasha at Barton's place and understand the truth, we will arrange specific actions!"
Captain America stood up, said hello to Tony Stark, and was about to leave the villa with Phil.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
Just then, the sound of a cell phone vibrating was heard, and then Jarvis' voice rang out in the room.
"It's Hill!"
"Mr. Stark! It's Ms. Hill calling!"
Phil Coulson's voice and Jarvis' voice were heard in no particular order. It turned out that Maria Hill, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., contacted him and Tony Stark at the same time!
“Turn on screen casting!”
Tony Stark directly instructed Jarvis, and soon Hill's life-size virtual projection appeared in front of everyone.
Hill was still wearing the blue-gray combat uniform, sitting at his desk, looking a little tired.
She didn't seem surprised that several people got together. After looking around at everyone present, she went straight to the point.
"Mr. Stark, Captain, I just received an urgent notice from the World Security Council that a dangerous incident involving supernatural forces has occurred on Mount Fuji in Japan. I need you Avengers to go out!"
"Supernatural incidents. Didn't SHIELD just form a special task force to deal with supernatural crimes?"
"What kind of supernatural crime!"
Tony Stark and Captain America spoke at the same time, but their emphasis was slightly different.
Tony Stark is concerned about why Hill is looking for them instead of sending out his own capable special forces soldiers, while Captain America is more concerned about the crime itself.
Hill turned the computer in front of him upside down with a serious expression and played a video for several people.
"This is a video from the World Security Council. Agent Barton and Agent May broke into the observation post of the Imperial Organization. The observation post then exploded. Now part of Mount Fuji is showing signs of eruption.
What's worse, a sleeping Titan was awakened.
The World Security Council wants you, the Avengers, to give them an explanation and take responsibility for this matter. I have already suppressed the matter, but you need to handle the aftermath!"
The video should be a bird's-eye view shot from a helicopter from a high altitude, with thick volcanic ash covering the sky and the sun.
Red lava was erupting from the mountain wall, and a huge monster with eight heads and eight tails was looming in the volcanic ash.
The forest at the foot of Mount Fuji, a holy place for suicides, has now been ignited by volcanic lava and turned into a sea of fire, with thick smoke rising into the sky.
"What about Hill, Patton and May, how are they now?"
Watching the video of the volcanic eruption and the apocalyptic scene, Phil Coulson quickly inquired about the whereabouts of Barton and May.
Hill shook his head: "It's not clear yet, so I hope you guys hurry over there, on the one hand to find the whereabouts of Barton and the others, on the other hand to stop this giant beast and never let it cause a large-scale volcanic eruption!"
In the video of more than ten minutes, you can see a black snake tail thicker than an ordinary residential building swirling in the red magma.
The dark scales give you a creepy feeling just by looking at them.
"ah!"
Pepper was startled by the snake's tail in the video, and Tony quickly hugged her.
Women are naturally afraid of things like snakes and insects.
"How big is this snake? Two hundred meters? Why not use heavy weapons to attack it
Can't we just use space-based weapons? I remember when the nine realms came together, the Federal Ministry of Defense used space-based weapons to kill a giant dragon, didn't it?"
In the office of the aerospace aircraft carrier command ship, facing Tony Stark's doubts, Agent Hill folded his arms expressionlessly.
"Currently, this giant beast is halfway up Mount Fuji. The Japanese government is worried that once the space-based weapons are activated, it will cause an unprecedented eruption of Mount Fuji, and the damage caused by that time will be much more serious than that of this giant beast!
The Federal Ministry of Defense wants to bypass the Japanese government and directly activate the space-based weapon "Rod of God", but the eruption of Mount Fuji in Japan may affect the Chinese waters.
The Ministry of National Defense does not need to consider the opinions of the Japanese government, but it has to consider China's attitude towards this matter."
"Currently, residents near Mount Fuji are being evacuated. The best way to deal with it is to lure the monster out and then use space-based weapons to kill it with one strike."
Speaking of this, a trace of contempt flashed across Hill's face, and he said sarcastically:
"The Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Federation's troops stationed in Japan are losing ground against the Titan beast. The army's conventional firepower cannot harm it at all!
There’s no way to even draw it out!”
"So it's time for you to enter, Avengers! I've arranged two Quinjets to pick you up!"
... ... ..
After the Avengers set off, Director Hill grabbed the communicator at hand and said to the person waiting on the other end:
"The Avengers have set out. They will lead the Yamata no Orochi into the wilderness. Your space-based weapon 'Rod of God' will immediately enter the launch sequence!"
"Tell the Japanese government that they have one and a half hours to evacuate."
... ... ... .
The billowing smoke from the burning forest, along with the rising volcanic ash, completely obscured the sky.
Mount Fuji is full of large pits and cracks, from which magma gushes out continuously.
"Biological testing!"
Tony Stark was the first to arrive over Mount Fuji in his Iron Man suit.
In the thick black smoke, he directly turned on the biological detection system, looking for the trace of the giant beast.
The Iron Man's biological scan quickly selected the largest one among a dense mass of red dots.
Kaka!
Tony Stark is about to launch a missile attack.
"Biological testing completed... Target's vital signs, black bear match 98%."
Jarvis reported the results in a calm tone, bringing Tony back to his senses in surprise.
"Black bear? Not the titan beast. Where is that big guy?"
The beast is a hundred meters long, and when coiled up it's as tall as a skyscraper. How could a monster of this size be hidden
Tony Stark's mind raced as he circled in the air, looking for any trace of the Yamata-no-Orochi.
Perhaps because of the low visibility, Tony Stark's iron armor began to slowly descend in altitude.
As he flew around Mount Fuji, the rock walls of Mount Fuji rustled, and the peaks that looked like huge rocks rustled. A pair of cold eyes suddenly opened, staring at Tony, who was moving at high speed in the air.
The taste of food!
Tony Stark did not have a detailed understanding of the group of Titans. They feed on atomic energy. Human society’s nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs are like delicious desserts to them.
Originally, Tony Stark's size was like a mosquito flying past an ordinary person to the Yamata no Orochi. As long as they were not bitten, no one would chase the little bug for fun.
However, the Ark Reactor carried on Tony Stark's Iron Man suit was like a long-hungry gourmet seeing a table full of delicious food to Orochi, and it instantly made Orochi set his eyes on him.
"How could it be that it's not there? Could it be hidden underground?"
Tony Stark looked at the traces left by the giant snake climbing below.
"Jarvis, lock onto these traces and find the giant snake!"
"Sir! Judging from its crawling trajectory, it seems to be behind you!"
After hearing Jarvis's analysis of the traces, Tony Stark turned around abruptly. The boulder behind him suddenly stopped its mimicry and turned into a huge black-scaled snake head, swallowing Tony Stark in one gulp.
The shadow of the huge snake head enveloped Tony Stark like a dark cloud.
"Shit!" Tony Stark's face changed drastically, and after cursing, he suddenly rushed forward quickly.
Bang!
The rock in front of Tony Stark suddenly splashed out like a blowout, and a black-scaled snake head exactly the same as the one behind him rushed out from the ground, blocking Tony Stark's flight path. The sinister snake boy stared at Tony Stark, opened his mouth wide, and sprayed venom at him like a rainstorm.
Tony controlled the armor nimbly to avoid the venom coming towards him and the snake's mouth swallowing from above.
"Bang"
A snake tail suddenly appeared and bombarded Tony Stark like swatting a fly.
In the sparks that jump out from the friction of steel,
With a loud bang, the world was spinning, and Tony Stark was hit hard by the scattered boulders behind him, smashing them to pieces.
Fortunately, the material of Tony Stark's suit is vibranium, and the shock-absorbing effect is quite good, so the famous Iron Man was not beaten into a meat patty.
"boom"
Tony Stark turned over and activated the thrusters under his feet. At the same time, several missiles shot out from the magazines on his shoulders and shot into the air.
"One, two, three, four... How many heads does this monster have?"
Several black-scaled snake heads surrounded Tony Stark, like several thick black pillars, or the body of a bridge.
"Sir! The Yamata-no-Orochi is a monster in Japanese mythology with eight heads and eight tails!" Jarvis answered Tony Stark's question meticulously.
"From Japanese mythology, this monster looks much more difficult to deal with than Thor, the God of Thunder!"
Boom boom boom
The smoke and fire from the missile explosion dissipated, and Tony Stark looked at the giant snake that was unharmed, complaining while trying to find an opportunity to fly out through the gaps between the snake's heads.
Several snake heads opened their mouths wide and rushed towards him to swallow him.
The several snake heads of the Yamata no Orochi displayed a speed that was completely inconsistent with their size. They were the first to arrive after starting later, and their short-range bursts even exceeded the speed of Tony Stark's Iron Man suit.
Tony Stark clasped his hands together in front of him while flying at high speed.
Using the laser technology from the Chitauri, Tony quickly completed locking and aiming as the Ark reactor was filled with energy.
"boom"
A beam of scorching light shot out from the top of the iron armor's arm and blasted towards the snake head that was blocking the way.
The thick laser shot directly into the open mouth of the black-scaled snake head.
After a few seconds, the light faded.
Tony Stark took advantage of the Yamata no Orochi's shaking of its head in pain to break free from the encirclement of several snake heads and quickly rose into the air.
Hundreds of meters in the air, Tony Stark, flying his dashing red and gold armor, stayed in mid-air, and only then could he see the entirety of the monster with eight heads and eight tails halfway up the mountain.
"Sir! The target is over 200 meters in length and weighs over 30,000 tons."
"With such a body size and such a weight, we can preliminarily infer that the biological density of its body is frighteningly high, and the thickness of its external snake scales is very likely to be five to six meters. This kind of protection is theoretically immune to all conventional thermal weapons attacks."
"Really? Then I'll give it a try!"
"boom"
Iron Man faced the Yamata no Orochi underground. The magazine popped out from his shoulder, and more than a dozen high-explosive grenades flew out. The fierce artillery attack made the heads of several Yamata no Orochi covered in a storm of flames.
But the next second, the unharmed Yamata no Orochi hissed and tore through the flames.
Its eight snake heads and sixteen gloomy snake children were staring at Tony Stark in mid-air.
"How troublesome! But luckily this guy can't fly!"
Before Tony Stark could finish his words, one of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi opened its mouth and spewed a breath of yellow-green mucus at him!
Tony controlled the armor, quickly avoided the attack of the Yamata no Orochi, and flew into the sky higher.
The breath of the Yamata no Orochi fell on the rock under Tony Stark's feet, instantly corroding the rock into a large pit that was more than ten meters wide and three or four meters deep.
Tony Stark saw this scene and flew up a few hundred meters.
The golden-red armor was hovering there, with launchers popping out from many parts of the armor, and sharp black missiles ready to be launched.
"Sir! It is recommended to use the latest armor-piercing grenades!"
Jarvis gave his suggestion, and Tony adopted it immediately.
In the launchers on both sides of the armor's abdomen, the black missiles were quickly replaced by silver weapons. The weapon was cone-shaped with a terrifying metal triangular spike on the top.
“Whoosh, whoosh”
Four missiles were launched the next moment, forming a continuously rotating cover formation in the air.
"boom"
The Yamata no Orochi swung its tail and directly blew up the attacking missile.
"Tony, can you hear me? Hold on! We still have twenty minutes to get to Mount Fuji!"
Captain America's voice was heard from the communicator in the Iron Man suit.
"I'm fine! But this monster is very difficult to deal with. Ordinary attacks have no effect on it at all!" Tony Stark changed several attack methods.
But except for energy laser beams, nothing can break the scales of the Yamata no Orochi.
The snake scale protection layer of this thing alone is five or six meters thick, it is like an invincible defense.
This made Tony, who fought with high-tech means, like facing a turtle, with no idea where to start.
"We need to buy an hour and a half to give nearby residents time to evacuate. Otherwise, with its weight and power, it will easily raze the entire city to the ground!"
"One and a half hours, no problem!"
"We'll be there in eighteen minutes!"
"Captain, I think you should cooperate with the Japanese government to evacuate nearby residents first. Let Hulk come to help me. This big guy will probably take him a while to tear down!"
