Infinity Stones, Half Destroyed (3rd Update)
The other's seemingly sure-fire punch missed its mark.
His attack pierced through Wang Yan's body, but had no effect on him whatsoever.
Is this how you greet people?
Wang Yan's gaze met The Other's, and he said jokingly.
The other was deeply shaken by the other's confident and fearless attitude.
He tried to escape, but found himself unable to move.
Time seemed to stand still completely.
He could only watch helplessly as Wang Yan reached out, slightly bent his index finger, and gently flicked his forehead.
Bang!
The other one flew out and its body embedded itself in the wall.
Bleeding from all seven orifices.
His enhanced vitality, a result of mechanical modifications, allowed him to survive despite being severely injured.
"Um?"
Ego's pupils contracted, and his relaxed expression gradually turned serious.
I misjudged it.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Ego was about to make a move when Wang Yan, who had instantly appeared before him, slapped him to his knees.
"How is that possible? Just an ordinary human being..."
How could they do that?
How dare you do this!
Ego was furious.
He could not tolerate such a humiliation!
He wanted to fight back, but found that he couldn't muster any strength at all.
His hands and feet were weak, like an ordinary Midgardian suffering from myasthenia gravis.
In the instant he made his move, Wang Yan dismantled the core of his opponent's body.
"An external avatar is ultimately not the original body."
Wang Yan looked at Ego with a mocking smile, "Simply piling up power means nothing to me."
Ego's true form is not human, but rather a planet-like entity.
His body is merely an external manifestation.
Even so, Ego in his human form possesses power surpassing that of the vast majority of Eternals Titan.
His defeat by Wang Yan in one move does not mean he was weak; it only means he chose the wrong opponent.
Even against a cosmic powerhouse like Thanos, Ego could hold his own for a few rounds.
However, when facing Wang Yan, he was immediately in a position of being absolutely restrained.
At that moment, a dazzling golden light shone in Wang Yan's heart.
An oval-shaped gemstone reveals its true form.
You miscalculated!
The Other, who had been instantly killed by Wang Yan, struggled out of the wall with a maniacal laugh.
His smile was twisted like a demon's, full of smug satisfaction. "How does it feel to have your will corrupted by the Mind Stone?"
As a cunning and shrewd schemer, The Other never trusts anyone.
Even Ego, who was far stronger than him, could not gain his trust.
As it turned out, The other's decision was correct.
Even a lion will exert all its strength when hunting a rabbit, just to avoid capsizing unexpectedly.
His seemingly ordinary punch just now concealed other techniques.
Mind Stone!
Its uses are endless; it can allow users to enter the minds of others, and it can also allow all dreams, thoughts, and ideas to enter the user's brain.
Even a light touch can alter the mind of the user according to their will.
In The Other's opinion, although Wang Yan was ridiculously strong, he still became his defeated opponent.
Even if he can resist with his willpower, how long can he hold out?
Three seconds, or five seconds?
Thanks to The Other's intervention, Ego regained his strength.
He stood up, staring greedily at the Mind Stone, and said in an unfriendly tone, "This is something you were promised to give me; you can't just use it as you please."
Instead of feeling grateful for being rescued, he complained about his teammates.
"Of course, that was just in case."
The other wore a humble smile, but his eyes concealed the deepest resentment.
If the other party still had some use to them...
"These are the Infinity Stones!"
"The six primordial forces of the universe have appeared in Midgard."
"This planet is very interesting; it's worth conquering!"
Ego wore a victor's smile.
He reached out, trying to dig out the golden gem that radiated endless brilliance from Wang Yan's heart.
Suddenly, his restless hand was gripped tightly.
Wang Yan, who should have completely lost his mind, now had clear eyes and did not appear to be controlled at all.
Ego's first reaction was that he had been tricked by his teammates.
He turned around and the Roar angrily, "The other!"
"Tsk... wonderful."
Wang Yan clicked his tongue, having watched a good show.
The union of intrigue and power is like the love between a prostitute and her client—it can turn sour in an instant.
"However, this matter really has nothing to do with him."
Wang Yan, holding the golden Infinity Stones, casually remarked, "Using the Mind Stone against me is no different from aiding the enemy."
The Time Stone and the Space Stone became resources for him to comprehend the laws, and he knew the truth about the Infinity Stones in the Marvel Plane better than anyone else.
Apply slight pressure with your index finger and thumb...
Snap!
The Mind Stone shattered, turning into golden quicksand that vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving no physical remnant.
Thus, half of the Six Infinity Stones in the Marvel Plane were destroyed by Wang Yan.
He absorbed, memorized, and understood the cosmic principles contained within the Infinity Stones, truly transforming them into his own power.
Wang Yan's lips curled up slightly, his mood pleasant. "It's so much more subtle than the Mind Stone control of the Kotoamatsukami and the X-Gene. It's like the Essence of Wisdom from an entire Mind Stone cultivation civilization system."
After analyzing the Mind Stone, his Spiritual Power only increased by 60%, but his control over related abilities improved significantly, becoming even more subtle and effective.
Now, with a single thought, he can change the mindset of all life forms on a planet in the Marvel Universe.
"You... you actually destroyed the Infinity Stones!"
The other's pupils contracted instantly, his breathing became rapid, and his expression became blank.
He seemed unable to accept the outcome for a while.
Coming to her senses, The Other screamed hysterically, "You're finished! Thanos won't let you get away with this! You have no idea what you've done! You've ruined his dream, he'll definitely kill you!"
At this moment, reason left his body, and the composure he had been barely maintaining was shattered by the chaotic and disordered thoughts.
Wang Yan glanced at him coldly and let go of his hand.
Ego regained his freedom—only the freedom to move around.
He turned around, staring blankly at The Other, and instantly appeared, punching him repeatedly in the face.
"You bastard! You..."
The other was like a newborn baby struggling helplessly in front of a two-meter-tall muscular man.
He realized that Ego, whom he had regarded as a temporary ally, had been completely controlled by Wang Yan.
"How could this be? This is impossible!"
The Mind Stone should have been destroyed!
How could Wang Yan control Ego?
"Hehehe..."
In despair, The Other wore a sinister, eerie smile and let out intermittent laughter.
"This is just a clone of Ego; his real body will seek revenge on you!"
"You've messed with both Ego and Thanos; you won't have a good ending!"
_(:з"∠)_ I'm not entirely satisfied with this chapter; I'll speed things up later.
