The people in downtown New York would never forget what happened that day.
A vast, endless gash split the entire sky. A relentless, horrifying alien army began its brutal invasion. Artillery fire roared without end, people screamed, and wreckage littered the streets.
As the people pleaded for a hero, they suddenly felt the earth tremble.
A shadow blotted out the sky and spread across the land. Everyone stared up in a daze. Beneath the torn sky, they saw a towering... giant?
The Avengers, busy with rescue work, and the stunned New Yorkers watched as the solemn giant silently gazed at the rift in the sky.
Before anyone could recover, the giant, who had just stood tall and straight like a towering mountain, suddenly clutched his chest as if injured and dropped to one knee. The ground shook violently once more.
The blue-glowing crystal on the chest the giant clutched suddenly flashed a blinding red, like an ill omen, accompanied by an ear-piercing ding-dong.
The Avengers: ...???
What happened???
After the Chitauri incident, New York seemed peaceful on the surface, but rumors were spreading in secret.
There were countless rumors, such as "the beautiful woman in the dark is a vampire," "human-shaped stone statues in a cave," "a crow man who appears at night," and "a robot walking down the road in the middle of the night."
The people of New York are still living in dire straits today.
Daigu, who has to fight monsters on one side and then monsters on the other, is overwhelmed by work anxiety.
Daigu: Diga, do I have to be this busy just because I'm both light and human?
Diga: ...
Bonus scenes:
1. One night, Shinjoh was out on his usual aerial patrol in the Victory Fly, when he suddenly detected an abnormal signal.
Shinjoh hurried over and saw... an Iron Man in gold-and-red armor, flying at incredible speed?
The Iron Man raised his cold face and stared at him indifferently.
Shinjoh: ...
He instinctively pressed the Fly's attack button.
Tony, forced into an aerial battle: ???
2. After losing track of a strange woman dressed all in black who had appeared at night, Steve accidentally wandered into a bar.
He hit it off with a man who was drinking nothing but milk at the bar.
Both concealing their identities, they complained about their increasingly exhausting jobs and their unreliable teammates and family members, who always liked to ignore orders.
Munakata sighed and clapped Steve on the shoulder. "It must be hard for you, being in Japan so far from home, huh?"
Steve: ?
Isn't this New York?
Reader's guide:
1. The main story has no romance pairing. The bonus chapters pair Diga and Daigu, so canon couples are split up. Please steer clear if that's not for you.
2. The timeline is wildly scrambled, so don't read too much into it.
3. To be determined
