Chapter 122 The Battle of London ([-])

Stared at by Fury, the first to express his attitude was the sea prince, Namor.

He clearly remembered the humiliation when he was manipulated by the White Queen.

So without hesitation, he agreed with Howard's opinion, and at the same time, he did not forget to pat the opponent's steel suit.

I don't know whether to express his gratitude to Howard for helping him out of the siege just now, or to praise the opponent's ability to beat the White Queen away.

As for the other Avengers, they all showed a noncommittal look.

Therefore, Fury no longer hesitated, and asked Carter and the special operators to carefully guard the mutants who lost their fighting ability in the living field.

After that, he and the Avengers walked into the castle under the leadership of Howard.

Of course, in the final analysis, it was Curen who guided them to the castle where negative energy gathered through the power of blood and the memory of the White Queen.

In a corridor sealed off by a stone wall, the Avengers were forced to stop.

They all looked at Howard who was leading the way, obviously wanting to ask each other what to do next.

Howard gave the answer very simply with actions, and he signaled his teammates to take two steps back.

Then, the ark reactor on the chest of his battle suit was operating at full capacity, pushing the suit to slam into the stone wall.

Much easier than expected, the stone wall was opened a big hole under Howard's impact.

From the thickness of the stone wall and the age of the bricks, the Avengers immediately discovered that the wall should be a product of recent construction.

Such a discovery cheered them up.

According to previous intelligence, after Xiao was captured by that Curran, there was a period of power vacuum in the Hellfire Club.

Only recently has it been reintegrated by a mysterious new leader, the Black Queen, Selene.

The Avengers know very little about Selene.

So for them, capturing Selene is itself a task with little hope.

But now, this recently built stone wall undoubtedly boosted their confidence.

The location behind it is likely to be the place where the Black Queen, who has never shown up, has been hiding.

With this in mind, the Avengers quickened their pace again.

A few minutes later, the corridor finally came to an end, and a small door appeared in front of their eyes.

In front of this door, the Avengers looked at each other, apparently reminding them to prepare for battle.

Then, Namor, who was the strongest, opened the door first and entered.

Dark, bleak, corrupt.

From that door, the Avengers clearly felt these images, and Namor, who walked into it, seemed to be completely swallowed, and disappeared directly into the deep darkness.

Such a situation made the Avengers behind Namor feel a little apprehensive for a while.

But in the next second, because they were worried about Namor's safety, they decisively followed each other and filed in.

After being blinded and stunned briefly, all the Avengers made it through the door safely and regained their vision.

In front of their eyes was an underground hall covering an extremely large area.

On the ground in the center of the hall, there is a pattern full of distortion, evil, and fear.

After all the people present turned their attention to the pattern, it was difficult to move their eyes away.

Even unconsciously, they have already started to move their steps, hoping to get closer to that pattern, to admire and worship it more devoutly.

However, there is still Howard, whose soul resides in Curran, in the field. Under the hint of Curran, Howard instantly wakes up from the charm of the demon circle.

Immediately, he roared to remind his teammates that the energy cannon in his hand had fired towards the magic circle on the ground without hesitation.

Howard's previous action obviously had an effect, and the other Avengers came back to their senses amid his roar, and shifted their gazes elsewhere tactfully.

But his plan to destroy the magic circle failed.

The moment Howard started, a swaying female figure emerged from the shadows at the end of the hall.

Then, she pointed at Howard.

Some kind of invisible force instantly spanned the entire hall and descended on Howard.

Affected by that force, the steel suit seemed to be given life, directly violating the orders Howard had given before.

The energy cannon in its hand went out immediately, and after that, the suit even began to repel Howard inside his body, trying to drive him out.

This somewhat unimaginable method is one of the many abilities that Selene possesses, controlling and decomposing inanimate bodies through ideas.

With just a random attack, Selene showed the Avengers her strength and weirdness.

But the Avengers have experienced many battles after all, and they immediately found the opponent's weaknesses that need to be scrupled.

So the next moment, the rest of the Avengers unanimously attacked the ground.

The actions of the Avengers clearly aroused Selene's wrath.

She no longer played with Howard's armor like a cat and a mouse, but directly activated the ability to completely destroy it.

After that, facing other Avengers, she was even more unceremonious, using another ability, flame manipulation.

From the shadows of Namor, Steve, Union Jack, and Wolverine, a black flame rose suddenly, and instantly enveloped their original masters.

In just one second, Howard used a variety of precious metals to make the steel battle suit, like a low-quality small workshop product, quickly cracked, disintegrated and shattered, revealing the fragile Howard body inside.

The rest of the avengers were caught in the raging flames, and a smell of scorched flesh spread in the hall.

Facing Selene at the peak legendary level, the Avengers with only epic level strength really couldn't survive even a face-to-face.

But at the critical moment, Curran made a move.

If his current huge and turbulent thought power forms a dense domain, it will be enough to cover a radius of more than ten kilometers with himself as the center.

If it descends accurately through the anchor point, it can even affect hundreds of kilometers away.

So with Howard as the medium, even though Curran was not present, the power he displayed was not weakened by half.

And with the emergence of Curran's aura, Selene's previously relaxed and freehand face suddenly revealed a dignified look.

The two terrifying manipulators directly skipped the probing stage, and started a contest in the air with a full-force collision.

And after this collision, regardless of how much damage was done to the utensils and furnishings in the hall, the avengers alone were knocked out of their minds and fell into a coma in the wave of escaping thoughts.

And Howard, whose body has not been strengthened at all, is even more unbearable, almost like his battle suit, being completely torn to pieces.

However, under the protection of Curen's blood power, no matter how many wounds on his body surface were opened, they would heal again in a very short time.

As the anchor of Curran's will, Howard's life and death is the symbol of his victory and defeat in this confrontation with Selene.
