Dad, Love Me Again (Third Update) / Get Lost! (Fourth Update)
Kevin, whose hand bones had just healed and then shattered again, nearly lost his grip on the sword hilt, his body being dragged a hundred meters by the violent force.
Just as Thanos was about to press his advantage, the Judgment Angel suddenly looked up, grinned, and uttered two silent syllables.
Then, Kevin leaned back and plunged into the Spatial Rift, disappearing without a trace.
At that moment, Thanos his hair stand on end and rushed towards the now-closed Spatial Rift without looking back.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that what was emerging from the gray-black clouds were countless eerie celestial aggregates that glowed brightly!
At that moment, he finally understood what the two syllables Kevin had mentioned meant.
... behind me!
Chapter 966, Section 1009: Daddy, Love Me Again (Third Update)
North America, a misty town in a valley Ruins.
Kevin, feeling as if facing a formidable enemy, reinforced the spatial barrier layer by layer.
At the same time, this Judgment Angel linked to the dimensional portal he left on Earth, took out a handful of Gene Serum, and haphazardly poured them into his mouth to accelerate his body's recovery.
And the Flame Greatsword he held in his hand never relaxed for a moment.
After a long while, a sharp, stabbing pain kept shooting through his mind. Unable to hold on any longer, Kevin slid down against a tree stump and collapsed onto the dew-covered grass.
Call!
The man exhaled a sigh of relief, his stiff facial muscles gradually softening until he finally broke into a hearty smile.
Aha... haha... hahahaha...
A loud, unrestrained laugh escaped Kevin's lips intermittently as he leaned against a tree stump, panting heavily.
The lungs, which had not yet fully recovered, emitted a deep, harsh, and hoarse noise.
Finally... we won...
Sorry, I'm the one who had the last laugh.
You're not the only one skilled at using one enemy to devour another.
Didn't you want to maintain the Cosmic Balance? Introduce yourself to that Outer God hovering in the skies above Freljord.
In my opinion, they are the most irrational existences in this world.
If you could resolve half of these issues before implementing the family planning policy, I would accept it.
After a series of fierce battles, Kevin's tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment, and he immediately mocked the crack that had been reinforced a hundred times.
However, even so, Kevin still couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
The Cthulhu gods possess powers that defy common sense; they nearly caused a disaster when the City of R'lyeh surfaced last time.
Fortunately, they finally broke R'lyeh's anchor point on Earth, causing the monster to sink to some unknown place.
The Outer God used this time is one of the three Primal Gods, and is much more advanced Cthulhu's Squidward.
The more frequently it moves in its presence, the greater the danger Earth is exposed to.
As for the consequences, the tragic state of Freljord serves as a cautionary tale.
Furthermore, Thanos was extremely vigilant, and the Infinity Stones in his possession could tear through space.
Therefore, one must wait for the most opportune moment to place a bet and lure Thanos to the table; any misstep will be fatal.
Therefore, this operation was definitely a high-stakes gamble, but fortunately, I made the right bet.
Next, I should be able to take a good vacation and spend more time with my girlfriends...
Kevin rubbed his groggy head, his mind drifting into daydreams.
However, at that moment, the faint sound that resembled an eggshell cracking came from ahead, but it was like a thunderclap echoing in Kevin's ears.
"Laugh!"
A pair of thick, blood-stained arms, veins bulging, fiercely tore open Spatial Rift.
But at this moment, the lower body of the arm's owner was being pulled towards the special aggregate of countless twinkling star clusters in the sky by tightly wrapped star-like tentacles.
You're still alive! Your will to survive is incredible!
Kevin's face was ashen, and his expression was grim.
I can't die! And I can't lose!
Thanos let out a hysterical roar, and with a burst of strength in his arms, the Spatial Rift widened even further.
Even more terrifying is that the star-like tentacles wrapped around Thanos seem to have found a new target, winding their way upwards and slowly emerging from the crack.
In an instant, a sword light flashed, and the arms clinging to either side of the Spatial Rift were bloodily severed, falling onto the pile of rubble, with dark red blood mist scattering everywhere.
I'm sorry, but for the sake of those I care about, you must die!
Kevin met those resentful and angry eyes with composure, raised his longsword lightly, and the power of the Space Stone caused the Infinity Gauntlet that had fallen to the ground to fall into his palm.
However, before they could even celebrate, the gradually closing Spatial Rift was forcibly opened by starlight-like tentacles.
You, get back there too!
Kevin removed the gem from the Infinity Gauntlet and pressed it into the groove of the Skyfire Greatsword. As light surged, a sharp sword beam burst forth.
The Starlight Tentacles were instantly evaporated and decomposed by the torrent of sword energy, and the expanding Spatial Rift in front of them vanished without a trace after a twist.
However, the monster on Freljord seemed unwilling to give up, with faint streaks of starlight spreading and climbing up like mold spreading across a wall.
At that moment, the World Tree above the Earth shone brightly, and a pillar of light descended, enveloping Kevin with the combined power of Earth's consciousness and humanity's restraining force.
The Judgment Angel immediately had a flash of inspiration. He held the Skyfire Greatsword upside down, and the Six Infinity Stones on the spine of the sword swept across, evaporating the tentacles on the outer side of the Spatial Wall.
Is it finally over?
Kevin stared at the translucent World Barrier, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
Meanwhile, above Freljord, Thanos stared at the spatial passage that was being sealed off inch by inch, his expression crazed and twisted.
This fierce, purple-skinned giant opened his mouth and bit off several starlight tentacles around him. The immense power belonging to the Titans rippled outwards, tearing a gap in the surrounding "fishing net".
Then, Thanos began to wildly swing his two bare arms and kick his feet.
Even as the Starlight Tentacles dug into flesh, bones cracked, and blood was continuously drained from the wounds, Thanos's struggle never ceased.
I can't die!
If I die, it will prove that everything I've done has been in vain...
Titan Star, the Dark Order, and my Gamora...
What's the point of these sacrifices?
Only the ignorant can be carefree and fearless!
I will live! I will live to fulfill my Schicksal!
I will do it! I definitely can do it!
In a daze, Thanos's unfocused eyes seemed to see himself in the starlight before him, having accomplished his great feat, removing his armor, sitting in front of a field, enjoying the evening sun.
"Dad!"
As the sun set, a little girl, wearing a straw hat, sneaked out of the house and came up behind him with a grin.
Thanos instinctively reached out, his large fingers hooking around his daughter's soft hand, a slight smile spreading across his lips.
Is this all you wanted?
The little girl tilted her head, asking curiously.
Thanos smiled and nodded, took his daughter's hand, and strolled along the ridges of the field. His eyes, reflecting the calm and beautiful starry sky, revealed a hint of satisfaction.
All the filth was merely for the sake of the present peace...
He has already made efforts to avert the end of the world, and now that he has reached the end of his dream, he has no regrets.
Thanos bent down and picked up his daughter Gamora, pointing to the dazzling stars in the sky and teaching her to identify them one by one.
Amidst cheerful laughter, the father and daughter walked further and further away in the sunset.
Above Freljord, as the smiling face was gradually swallowed by the vortex of starlight, dense tentacles withdrew from their tips and spread towards the spatial cross-section that exuded a similar aura.
Meanwhile, Kevin's comrades, who had learned that Kevin was still alive, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, hoping for a reunion and celebration after the victory.
But a strange sense of being watched and a sudden, slippery murmur in their minds made everyone uneasy, and they subconsciously looked up in response to their senses.
Suddenly, nearly a hundred star-shaped tentacles of varying sizes appeared, stretching across the sky and drawing ever closer.
Kevin, who was in the valley, suddenly stood up, his pupils contracting sharply.
Oh no! The edge of the Solar System! I opened Space Wormhole there! They've actually come looking for me, following my scent!
The man's heart pounded wildly. Ignoring the exhaustion in his body, he tore through space and leaped towards the edge of the Solar System.
Chapter 967, Section 1010: Get Lost! (Fourth Update)
"Roll!"
Amidst the ravaged starry sky, Kevin swung his sword horizontally, shattering hundreds of Starlight Tentacles along with the newly torn Space Wormhole.
However, before Kevin could catch his breath, even more Starlight Tentacles climbed out from the chaotic starlight vortex once again.
That dazzling and beautiful light is so captivating that one can't help but be drawn in and unable to tear oneself away.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Kevin swung his sword several times in succession, but he was unable to cut down the endless stream of monsters.
Moreover, as the Starlight Tentacles intensify their erosion of the Solar System's cosmos, the outline of what resembles a stellar polymer gradually becomes clearer.
Damn it! Just like when the City of R'lyeh rose to the surface, they have already anchored their spatial coordinates in the Solar System.
It's true what they say: it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away! Using them to take down Thanos, the debt is definitely not so easy to repay.
As time passed, the Starlight Tentacles around them gathered more and more, and even the Space-Time Cage woven by the Space Stone and the Time Stone could only last a little longer.
Without the constraints of Alaya and Gaia, the edge of the Solar System has almost no barriers to rely on.
Kevin was in a terrible state, his brow furrowed. His body was nearing its limit, and the rate of destruction was gradually falling behind the rate of erosion by the Starlight Tentacles.
If this continues, once they establish a foothold in the outer reaches of the Solar System, Earth will sooner or later be nothing more than prey on a chopping block!
When Kevin swung his sword again, shattering hundreds of Starlight Tentacles, the dizzying sensation of a landslide and tsunami in his mind caused him to stumble and nearly fall into the vast void.
At that moment, the man's gaze fell upon the Six Infinity Stones embedded in the sword, his eyes flickering with uncertain thoughts.
Thanos was able to hold out for so long even when the One Who Unites All Things, most likely thanks to the power of the Infinity Stones.
In other words, the powers of the Infinity Stones still have an effect on them...
As a new wave of Starlight Tentacles approached, Kevin took a deep breath, forcibly entering an all-powerful state, raising the Skyfire Greatsword with his left hand and sliding two fingers of his right hand along the spine of the sword.
Six rays of light painted the sword with a dazzling array of colors, and the power of the Infinity Stones of different attributes merged into one and converged at Kevin's fingertips.
"Smack!"
The crisp snap of fingers seemed to be heard by the vast universe, and the surrounding Starlight Tentacles all turned to ashes and scattered.
The remaining half of the Lieyang Star, amidst strange tremors, automatically coalesced from the floating rubble around it, gradually piecing together and solidifying into a complete celestial body.
At this moment, the native inhabitants of Lieyang Star, who were gathering to besiege Dormammu, the Dark Dimension, witnessed this miracle and wept with joy, embracing each other in celebration.
Within the Heavenly Palace Matrix, Dormammu, subconsciously sensing something was wrong, prepared to flee, only to discover in horror that his immortal body was rapidly disintegrating.
"No! This is impossible!"
In just a few seconds, this once-powerful Dark Dimension lord turned to ashes and vanished completely.
The celebratory words of the people from Lieyang Star suddenly caught in their throats, their faces turning pale. Only after a long time, when they were sure that they were safe, did they nervously convene an emergency meeting.
At the same time, the Affliction of releasing his energy created a dual torment of body and mind, causing Kevin's veins to bulge and his bloodshot eyes to protrude.
Worse still, the six Infinity Stones that had just been gathered, wielding the power of the rules to obliterate the threatening intent, vanished without a trace when it came to the object in the sky above Freljord.
