I'll Make Sure You're-Destroyed!
"Did you come here specifically to bring me a suitable weapon, Thor, my dear brother?"
Hela leaned forward slightly, exerting force with her right hand as she tried to regain control of her former weapon amidst the mournful groan of the throwing hammer. A chilling and tyrannical aura emanated from her lips as she turned up in a smile.
Clearly, Thanos did not use the Mind Stone to brutally brainwash people.
Instead, the memories of this Grim Reaper were modified to maximize Hela's hatred while preserving her original fighting ability and reaction speed.
Thor, who had been thrown out of the battle, felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly flicked his right hand, and after a brief silence, a blinding white light flashed from the tip of Thor's Hammer, which was trembling violently.
In an instant, a searing pain shot through her heart, causing Hela's expression to change slightly. She immediately threw out Thor's Hammer.
As the Goddess of Death raised her hand, a dark red, three-petaled oval mark was branded onto her fair palm.
Thor recalled Thor's Hammer with a sigh of relief, but when he saw the familiar holy symbol at the top, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Sis, if you want to get this, you should be a little more filial..."
Once, this Thor, in his youthful arrogance, nearly reignited the war between the Asgardian God Clan and the Frost Giants.
As a result, Odin, the father of the gods, stripped him of his divine power in a fit of anger and banished him to Earth to undergo trials of the mind and body.
Only by regaining Thor's Hammer's approval and wielding Mjolnir can one be considered to have passed the test.
And this was the sacred symbol that stripped Thor of his divine power and sealed Thor's Hammer back then.
Haha, Father isn't dead yet! The restrictions he placed on the throwing hammer are still effective!
However, despite being tricked by the old man, the aura of the Goddess of Death was not affected at all; on the contrary, it rose steadily as her anger grew.
"For the sake of being family, how about we let you all go to Helheim to reunite?"
Hela moved her right hand, which was burning intensely, her expression grim.
As soon as she finished speaking, the Goddess of Death lunged forward, her two Night Sky Sword slashing wildly, cleaving the Spatial Barrier outside the settlement in two.
If we let that killing machine go in, everything inside will be ruined!
Seeing this, Thor, wielding Thor's Hammer, swooped down, unleashing a torrent of chaotic lightning like dozens of venomous dragons that snaked down and struck Hela repeatedly.
However, Hela, who constantly draws divine power from Odin and is infinitely close to Hela the king of the gods, is simply unstoppable.
The eerie goddess, shrouded in deathly aura, raised her hand and swung her arm, sending a Night Sky Sword shooting forth.
Instantly, the lightning and the sky were torn apart, and a black streak of light pierced through Thor's abdomen with lightning speed, carrying him far away.
At this moment, the other eight main gods, who knew Hela's terror, stepped forward together, trying to stop this Grim Reaper from entering the settlement.
But as soon as they set off, the gods felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, each being locked onto by different divine thoughts.
"We are here to protect Your Majesty!"
The Warriors Three and Heimdall, stepped forward to hold off four Sakaar gladiator champions under Hela's command who were displaying hostility.
To prevent the war from spreading to the settlement, the four tacitly lured away the four champion gladiators, where flesh and energy clashed fiercely on the pale ice plains.
The sonic booms, like popping beans, rose and fell, and waves of earth, hundreds of meters high, were constantly being stirred up.
As Valkyrie approached, Hela Valkyrie and Sif, the God of Fertility, immediately stepped in front of the two sorcerers Frigga and Loki.
Two female warriors, their bodies adorned with intricate runes forming luminous armor, charged towards the Goddess of Death, swords and shields in hand.
Meanwhile, Frigga and Loki, mother and son, moved their intertwined fingers and murmured in a low, ancient voice.
Immediately, the surrounding space shifted, and the group of fighters were pulled into a spatial unit created by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Subsequently, the gathered, mysterious cosmic energy launched an attack on Hela in various magical forms.
Thor, whose abdomen was pierced by the Night Sky Sword, endured the pain and pulled out the sword. Bathed in the silver light of the runes, he quickly healed and rejoined the siege of Hela.
Even so, the Goddess of Death, fighting five against one, showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, she grew stronger with each battle, single-handedly suppressing the five powerful gods of Asgard.
In an instant, in the void battlefield specially opened up by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, beams of stellar energy flew everywhere, projected weapons whizzed through the air, and various runes flashed and exploded.
As the battle intensified, the six powerful figures transformed into streaks of light, colliding wildly and becoming completely invisible.
Although the Asgardian God Clan had deployed all their elite forces, they barely managed to hold off Hela and her allies.
But as the roar of the aircraft engines gradually became clearer, nearly a thousand Frost Giants and Fire Giant roared as they jumped down and charged toward the settlement established by the Asgardian God Clan.
The thousands of Asgard warriors, reassembled within the camp, formed a line and gritted their teeth to resist these alien monsters.
Boom!
The runes that had formed a matrix on the golden shield shattered, and the Asgard soldiers were thrown back by the violent force, tearing a conspicuous gap in the array of troops.
Soldiers with broken bones and torn tendons, dragged to the sides by their teammates, began their arduous self-healing process with the help of therapists.
This is... a Niflheim tank beast!
However, the grotesque monsters squeezing through the gap in the shield wall filled them with despair.
Chapter 938, Section 981: I will surely make you perish!
Meanwhile, in New York.
A2 pulled Tactical Sword embedded in bone from the skull of a Vanguard, flicked his wrist, and scattered the red and white stains on it into the scorched soil.
Meanwhile, the YoRHa team carrying out the destruction operation was like a diligent worker bee, cleaning up the deltaic Landing Pod in Manhattan.
To prevent this thing from resurfacing, they implanted the Red-Eye Electronic Virus inside the main unit and also installed metal disintegration bombs on the outside of the frame.
With A2's command, a deafening roar stretching for hundreds of kilometers rose and fell, forming a continuous din.
"Headquarters, this is YoRHa Squad 1. 95% of the enemy presence in New York has been eliminated. Current threat level to ground forces: extremely low..."
"Do we need to reinforce other blocks?"
While his YoRHa colleagues were working diligently, Commander A2 leaned against a Terminator wreckage and asked idly.
However, for some reason, before the bunker command center could reply, a noisy hissing sound came from the Dark Plane Communication channel.
Just as A2 was feeling confused, a signal was forcibly inserted into the YoRHa Unit's dedicated channel, spoken urgently.
"Move! Everyone evacuate New York City immediately!"
Kevin's sharp shout came from the channel, but before the YoRHa Unit could even take off, dazzling patches of purple-red light lit up the sky above.
Like a swarm of comets that suddenly enter the atmosphere and crash into the Earth's surface.
In an instant, the Terminator mechanical warship hovering above was instantly reduced to metal fragments the moment the light band touched it, which then drifted down in a flurry.
The terrifying pressure shot straight to the ground, causing the soil to collapse immediately, and the entire North America continental block to shake violently.
The members of the YoRHa Unit who were preparing to take off were all slammed to the ground by this distorted force field. Their bodies sank into the mud, their joints cracking. If this continued, they would be crushed into thin sheets sooner or later.
The Stigmata engraved on the bodies of the YoRHa Unit instinctively lit up. A2 and 2B stiffly looked up at the sky, their pupils filled with dangerous and terrifying, colorful ripples.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar filled the air, and streaks of purple and blue light darted about, spreading out and forming patterns of light that extended across the entire Earth.
Tens of thousands of regular troops, unable to withstand the violent sonic shockwaves, began to bleed from their ears and noses.
Throughout the Americas, with New York City as the center, birds that remained in the nearby forests fell in a flurry, crashing to the ground and turning into a bloody pulp.
The large Beast rammed wildly into trees and debris until it collapsed unconscious.
Other smaller animals and insects, with their weaker resistance, burst open in a bloody mist, turning into a pool of splattered debris.
As the billowing smoke gradually dissipated, the Hyperion, its surface crackling with electric Hyperion, plunged headfirst into the wreckage of Avengers Tower ahead.
The nuclear reactor and the Honkai engine have both been shut down.
The mutant group, who had narrowly escaped annihilation by lying on the ground, helped each other to their feet and looked up with lingering fear.
The Flame Greatsword that had just deflected the Infinite Gauntlets was now firmly held in the hand of the figure with six blazing white wings.
Phew! I survived!
If this person had arrived a moment later, the Power Stone might have unleashed its power, turning the entire America States upside down, and they would have become the flesh and blood fertilizer nourishing the plants.
Cough...
A muffled cough broke the silence, and a streak of bright red blood clung to the six-winged Angel's lips.
Laugh...
With a piercing sound of tearing fabric, Kevin's right arm armor shattered into pieces, dissipating into nothingness before it even hit the ground.
Clang!
With a resounding clang, the Judgment Angel, swaying and falling to the ground, plunged its Flame Greatsword into the wreckage of a Chitauri warship below, straightened its body, and gradually calmed its breathing.
However, the rusty-tasting air, entering his alveoli through his cavities, produced a strange and unpleasant odor that made him frown slightly.
The man's piercing gaze, however, was fixed on the burly, purple-skinned man emerging from the dust and mist. His lips moved slightly, and his voice was deep.
"It happened earlier than I expected. You could have let these auxiliary forces wear down Earth's manpower longer before making your move."
Thanos, leading the four leaders of the Dark Order behind him, slowly stepped forward, gave Kevin a deep look, and did not rush to make a move. He stood silently opposite him, pondering deeply.
"You've brought many unforeseen changes, and I won't make the same mistakes I did in the Asgardian Realm..."
"I need to be in control of the situation, not be at your mercy..."
The ruler of Titan Star raised the Infinity Gauntlet on his right side, stroking and examining it closely. He glanced around with the corner of his eye, a hint of amazement in his eyes.
"All six data base stations were decoys? It seems this information exchange center is the most deeply hidden [war strategist]?"
Kevin spun his sword, and Power of Space rippled outwards. After the light patterns swept across the ground, the heavily wounded YoRHa Unit and mutants were transported to the metal subcontinent at sea.
Thanos did not stop this; he only wanted to maintain balance, not meaningless killing. Only when those people were alive would the little brat be wary and willingly remain trapped here.
With his worries temporarily relieved, Kevin rolled his eyes in response.
"It's just a rather clumsy attempt at concealment, and I didn't intend to use it to hide for long. We'll inevitably run into each other sooner or later..."
"Establishing six information base stations also serves to anchor the coordinates of key global nodes and stabilize the Space Corridor, making it easier to split and transport your army to different battlefields."
"Otherwise, the Americas, which received special attention, would have already shattered into dust, and the entire Earth might even have cracked apart..."
Thanos looked thoughtful and nodded slightly.
"So that's how it is. No wonder the six information nodes gradually became exposed after I infiltrated the military..."
"It's not just because the Space Corridor's units are nearing saturation, but also because after you've divided up Titan Star's main force, there's no longer any need to hide..."
Immediately, the burly man with purple skin looked up at the large hole created by the attack between the two sides, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was deep.
"Your Space Corridor and body have both been damaged. Are you saying this to buy time?"
"And they're waiting for reinforcements?"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Order behind Thanos stirred slightly, and the four warriors, who had been quiet and focused, now had sharp and cold gazes.
Kevin rubbed his forehead, then helplessly spread his hands, and blinked as if by some strange impulse to ask.
"Uh, yes, do you mind?"
Thanos looked around at New York City, now razed to the ground by the aftershocks of the explosions, a desolate gray landscape filled with blood seeping from crushed tanks and severed limbs beneath concrete slabs...
The bodies of those who perished alongside the Vanguard and the Chitauri were piled on top of each other and buried under the sand and dust.
The king of Titan Star withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming more composed and solemn.
"I have no intention of destroying your civilization, but the great tree of the world has reached a point where its branches must be pruned..."
"Humans, in recognition of your bravery, I grant you a choice: hand over the Infinity Stones, and I will restore prosperity to this universe..."
Kevin curled his lip, his gaze turning sinister.
"Using the Infinity Stones of the Eternal Race to wipe out half of all life in the universe, is that what you call 'pruning the branches'?"
"I have no interest in playing family planning games with you bunch of lunatics..."
Thanos's expression gradually hardened and turned cold.
"Then, before the grand cause of Cosmic Balance, I have no choice but to decree your annihilation!"
Kevin flicked the blade, his eyes sharp as swords.
"You can give it a try!"
As soon as the words fell, the two figures instantly arrived at the center and clashed fiercely together.
