Chapter 69: Emergency Rescue

Taking advantage of the monster's hesitation, William immediately advanced in that direction. Although his movements also caused the monster to determine a direction, it was already at the last moment of life and death, leaving William with only this final hope.

While Steve and the others were discussing how to deal with Mugr, Barton spotted a figure rapidly running towards them. He immediately drew his bow and aimed, shouting, “Captain, something’s coming!”

The other three immediately ceased their discussion and turned to look in the direction the figure was approaching from. Indeed, there was a figure rapidly running towards them.

And behind that figure, there was an even larger dark shadow, but due to the distance, Steve and the others couldn’t make out its details.

Seeing four figures in the distance, scared and trembling with fear, William was so moved he nearly cried. The remaining teammates he had left couldn’t possibly gather four, so it must be outsiders. But he immediately thought of the monster chasing him relentlessly from behind, and shouted loudly, “There’s a monster chasing me! Don’t look at it, it will drive you insane!”

Faint shouts of a man came on the wind, but due to the distance, they couldn’t hear clearly for a moment. Natasha quickly took out a device and aimed it at the direction the person was coming from. The man’s clear voice came from the device.

“Can’t look at it. Oh yes, these followers of the false gods all have the power of mental pollution. It seems there is indeed the shadow of a false god behind Mugr.”

After hearing the man’s shout clearly, Natasha immediately reacted.

Currently, SHIELD’s information on false god followers almost entirely comes from Odin’s handbook, and Odin’s handbook doesn’t have particularly detailed records of each false god follower’s powers. It’s not just a handbook but an encyclopedia, so Natasha didn’t know whether this Mugr, mentioned in passing, was indeed a false god follower.

With this important intelligence, Steve and the others naturally weren’t unprepared. The false god statue they had obtained from SHIELD earlier also possessed the power of mental pollution. Although SHIELD’s scientists couldn’t find a way to resolve it, Tony, who had personally gone to the underground cave and obtained all of SHIELD’s data, had also specially researched glasses for mental pollution.

Because mental pollution also requires a transmission medium, whether seeing or hearing, it needs personal contact, so Tony tried to research a method to avoid it, and Odin’s handbook gave him inspiration.

Because the names of the false gods also carry mental pollution, Odin’s handbook expresses the false gods in an indirect, non-specific manner. So Tony thought of this approach.

Putting on Tony’s anti-pollution glasses 0.1, the system will automatically identify non-human beings and perform dynamic shielding before obtaining their specific image. By detecting changes in the creature’s surroundings and shielding the opponent from the field of vision, this method is a bit clearer: it’s similar to William’s method of observing the shadow, but automatically shielded through machinery.

Because they feared electronic products would also be polluted, once a non-human being is detected, the system will shield it from a hardware perspective. Of course, what appears in the user’s eyes will only be a virtual image.

Of course, all the above methods are just Tony’s ideas. This product hasn’t undergone real combat testing, so Natasha doesn’t know how useful this item is.

But no matter how useful it is, it’s at least something. Otherwise, they could never just stare at the opponent’s shadow and shoot, as that would be difficult to handle.

So the four of them each put on the special glasses and looked towards that direction. What first entered their field of vision was William, running while shouting loudly.

Seeing that the other was indeed a human, Steve clenched his fist, prepared to fight a legendary monster. Although he had no experience, he was always ready.

With the help of the glasses, they also discovered the monster following closely behind the man. Although the opponent’s image appeared as a green slime under the glasses’ help, the massive body and mismatched speed still made the four of them frown.

“Barton, you go try to see if you can interfere with his actions. Natasha, Qu Yizhi, we’ll go rescue that man.” Since Steve had seen a poor man being chased by a monster, he naturally wouldn’t sit by idly, but he also needed to consider how to deal with the opponent.

The most destructive Hulk is now with Tony, and Thor, who uses unscientific methods, is still in Asgard. If this is indeed Mugr who destroyed the race of its creator, these people might not be enough to face him.

Not thinking about it too much, after assigning the tasks, Steve immediately ran forward. Natasha and Qu Yizhi quickly followed, and Barton immediately ran to the top of a building. As an archer, he naturally needed to occupy a high ground.

Soon, Barton reached his destination. Although the buildings here were constructed in strange shapes, almost every building had five-pointed stars protruding outwards, which was very suitable for Barton to climb and occupy.

Barton took out an explosive arrow. This explosive arrow had once exploded a Chitauri aircraft in one shot, and it was the first step he used to test Mugr’s power.

The explosive arrow quickly hit Mugr, but there was no explosive fluctuation, as if it had been directly decomposed by Mugr.

And Mugr’s speed wasn’t affected at all, which made Steve and the others running feel a heaviness in their hearts.

Seeing that one strike was ineffective, Barton naturally wouldn’t give up easily. He fired several of his special arrows in succession—some super high temperature, some timed explosions—but none had any effect. Mugr’s actions remained the same, neither accelerating nor slowing down.

Then Barton’s voice came from the earpiece: “Sorry, Captain, I can’t stop the opponent.”

Hearing Barton’s voice that was a bit lower than expected, Steve didn’t have time to comfort him and could only quickly instruct, “Then you prepare for backup. Once we get the person, we’ll immediately evacuate from here.”

Barton’s arrows were SHIELD’s special ones, their power could rival rocket launchers, but all attacks were like splashing water against a stone wall, perfectly resolved by Mugr. This monster that destroyed the race of its creator was indeed extremely powerful.

After running for so long, Steve’s group finally ran to William’s vicinity, and William could clearly recognize the identity of the people coming. The prominent star-spangled uniform and shield made William recognize them at a glance: Captain America.

Although surprised that his group had directly alerted the Avengers, at this moment William was very happy, because in Midgard, there was no one more powerful than the Avengers. His life could finally be saved.
