Chapter 1437: Test, Courting Death, and Opening the Portal

Seeing this, Tony couldn’t help but curse.

He knew how much energy this thing had.

Since this thing could protect itself, breaking through with just his armor would be impossible.

Tony immediately flew to his building and applied to join Luke’s communication channel.

Luke approved his request, and Iron Man’s ID appeared on the communication channel. “This guy diverted power from my building to activate the Tesseract. I’ll see if I can cut off the power supply. You can stay here and try other methods, anything to stop that thing running.”

Luke and Frank looked at each other. Without hesitation, Frank dragged over an unconscious Dr. Selvig and placed his hands on either side of his temples to give him a light electric shock.

Dr. Selvig jerked and abruptly opened his eyes.

Frank: “How do we stop this machine?”

Dr. Selvig’s eyes were blank. “It can’t be stopped. It’ll keep running.”

After saying that, his eyes burned with passion again. “It’ll show us a new universe… ugh… ugh…”

Without hesitation, Frank gave him another electric shock and asked again, but the situation was still the same.

Just as Frank was about to give Selvig a third shock, Luke stopped him. “Do you notice his eyes? Loki must be using some method to control him. It’s useless. Just restrain him for the time being.”

Frank frowned. There was indeed a strange light blue light in Dr. Selvig’s eyes, and he didn’t look normal.

Thinking quickly, Frank tossed the doctor away and reached for a chair on the side, which he threw at the machine.

The blue light reappeared and blocked the chair one meter away.

Looking at the machine spinning faster and faster, Frank said, “I’ll blow up the roof.”

Luke immediately understood what he meant.

Blowing up the roof might throw the machine off and interfere with its operation.

However, Luke didn’t think it was likely.

Of course, there was no need to stop Frank. Luke simply looked at the image transmitted by the small drone nearby and nodded. “The floor below is empty. Make it quick. I’ll move Dr. Selvig.”

Although Dr. Selvig was being controlled, he might not be completely useless. Luke couldn’t let him die so easily.

As he spoke, Luke picked up Dr. Selvig, threw out a rope dart, and tied him up before he flew to the top of a building not far away.

Throwing Dr. Selvig onto the roof, he returned to the building where the machine was.

Frank had already set up the bombs.

His armor was very advanced, but he was used to carrying a few explosives on him.

Luke was too lazy to interfere with this personal hobby. In any case, they couldn’t explode without a detonator, and the weight was basically nonexistent for the armor.

As long as Uncle Frank was happy.

Luke was fast, but Frank was even faster.

Frank didn’t wait for Luke to land before he blew up the roof.

It immediately shattered and fell.

Then… Frank couldn’t help but curse, while Luke was mildly astonished but not surprised.

The spinning machine remained suspended in the air, and had no intention of falling.

This thing clearly wasn’t something that they could use Earth technology to deal with.

Frank cursed, and a surprised voice rang out at a window. “Wow, what’s that? Some magic toy you made?”

Luke was too lazy to turn around.

This cheap mouth and unruly character could only be Wade.

The guy bounced forward like a grade schooler.

He bounced over to the machine and reached for the Tesseract that was flashing inside. “Is this a gem? It looks very valuable.”

Neither Luke nor Frank said anything as they quietly watched this practically immortal guy court death.

From their previous attempts, it was clear that this thing wouldn’t let anyone get within one meter of it. Wade just so happened to stop at that distance, and he stretched out his hand.

Bang!

A dark red figure shot out in front of them, instantly breaking through glass and exiting the building.

Luke looked at his virtual screen. Wade’s armor was already 4% damaged. The image showed that the armor on the arm which had touched the Tesseract had directly exploded.

Sighing, he sent Wade a private message: Congratulations! Because of your meaningless test, part of the armor was destroyed to the tune of 500,000 bucks.

Wade immediately exclaimed over the comms, “What? No, boss. I didn’t do it on purpose!”

Bobo had naturally once again blocked these words from the team channel. Only Wade’s and Luke’s screens were lit up.

Luke said, “Alright, three strikes and you’re out. You still have two more chances to get yourself killed. Cherish them.”

Wade: “Ah, thank you, boss. You’re so generous.”

Luke curled his lip.

At that moment, Frank suddenly said, “Fall back.”

Luke flew out without hesitation.

He also noticed the machine suddenly glowing with a blue light which quickly spread out and grew brighter and brighter.

They flew dozens of meters, but their eyes never left the machine.

After the blue light from the machine spread out less than five meters in diameter, it stopped. It twisted and fluctuated for a moment, before it exploded and a thick blue light beam shot upward.

The blue light pillar instantly pulverized whatever parts of the building was in its path.

The pillar of light shot thousands of meters into the sky and warped at a particular point.

A hole appeared, and it quickly expanded to a diameter of a hundred meters in a few seconds, creating a dark, boundless void.

Ten seconds later, countless black dots charged out of the black void.

Their fierce and cold postures were on clear display on Luke and Frank’s virtual screens.

Frank had seen an image of the drawing. He confirmed the situation at a glance and directly gave the order on the communication channel. “The target has opened a space portal above Stark Tower. Follow the plan and listen to me.”

That was the advantage of being a professional.

There were contingency plans for various situations. As long as it wasn’t an especially bizarre mishap, Frank didn’t need to significantly adjust his teammates’ roles and naturally didn’t need to give a long explanation of what to do in battle.

Time and opportunity were too important during a special op.

It wasn’t like this in the movies? That was because what happened in a movie had to be explained clearly to the audience.. In a real battle, the commander might just use a simple word or a few tactical signals, and team members would have to act immediately.
