Conqueror's Haki Erupts in Marvel

2,207 words7 min read0 views15h agoSource

Shazo had already confirmed that the world he lived in was basically the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Therefore, there will be three, or even more, Spider-Man in this Universe, and in the near future, there may even be a situation where three Spider-Man appear together.

With the Space Stone already reserved by his brother, Shazo naturally thought of bringing that real Spider Spirit into his legion to form a cross-world legion.

Tom Holland's Spider is good too, but Shazo just prefers Bully Maguire.

There's nothing we can do; he just prefers strong yet reliable team members.

Just as Earth's second alien invasion had ended, a fierce battle was raging in Asgard.

Centered on Shazo and Thanos, an invisible aura spread wildly outwards, Setsuna turning Asgard's colorful sky into a chaotic mess, leaving only a stagnant deep red, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The conflict between the two was so violent that Hela, felt as if she had witnessed the true end, making the prophesied "Ragnarök" seem petty in comparison.

Within the aura of these two top-tier powerhouses, both the aliens from the Thanos' Army and the Asgard Heroic Spirit who had died once turned ashen-faced.

Because of the tremor that emanated from the very soul, the living forgot to breathe, and the dead thought they were suffocating; they both felt...

It was under immense pressure, as heavy as the deep sea.

Thanos watched intently as Shazo slowly took off, rising higher and higher. He sensed that the enemy was not fleeing, but determined to fight him in the air.

Thanos's towering figure then rose into the air, and the two flew higher and higher, their speed increasing until they reached a height almost invisible to the naked eye.

Thanos is an Eternity Titan Clan, possessing top-tier racial Talent that surpass all other beings in the Universe. He has a near-immortal lifespan and can survive for extended periods without food or water, at most becoming somewhat weak.

Thanos possesses unparalleled strength, intelligence, stamina, resilience, and speed.

His skin is tougher than that of Cull Obsidian, virtually indestructible, and can withstand both extremely low and extremely high temperatures.

Inazuma, radiation, poison, and disease.

Thanos, the overlord of the Universe, has no weaknesses; the vacuum of Universe and radiation are nothing to him.

To be precise, before his lifespan ends, he is a weaker version of an immortal being.

In this way, Shazo was at a disadvantage.

Because he cannot adapt to the vacuum of Universe, he would suffocate and die if he were in deep space for an extended period of time.

However, Shazo was unwilling to engage in a ground war with Thanos, as the aftermath of such a battle would severely damage Asgard, which was a Universe territory he had just acquired.

Thus, Shazo could only engage in an Thanos battle with Thanos, the Universe overlord, at the edge of Asgard's atmosphere.

Thanos sensed Shazo's predicament, but he gladly accepted Shazo's invitation to aerial combat and entered the battlefield Shazo had chosen.

Although this was the battlefield chosen by Shazo, Thanos held the greatest initiative.

If the battle goes against them, Thanos can hide in the vacuum, putting Shazo in a suffocating predicament, or he can launch an attack downwards, forcing Shazo into a passive position in order to save Asgard.

He was originally quite wary of his enemy, Shazo, who was able to destroy his Sanctuary II vehicle in one fell swoop and seize a portion of the Dark Dimension from Dormammu, demonstrating an unbelievable level of strength.

Although Thanos possessed the Power Stone and, with the help of the Infinity Gauntlet and his vast knowledge, successfully mastered it, Shazo also possessed the Infinity Stones Space Stone.

There is no hierarchy among gems, but in combat, the direct power of the Power Stone is difficult to match that of the Space Stone, which controls space.

But with such a huge advantage in the battlefield environment, if Thanos continues to retreat, he can no longer call himself the Emperor of the Universe, nor can he think about protecting the Universe.

Standing in mid-air, Shazo and Thanos walked towards each other simultaneously. With each step they took in the air, they advanced at least tens of meters, and their aura grew stronger and more refined.

The two powerful figures stared intently at each other, neither speaking, but everything they wanted to say was conveyed through the clash of their auras.

At the edge of Asgard's atmosphere, which is also the edge of the Barrier of the Miracle Continent, the powerful divine power of the Asgardians was disrupted by their aura, tearing a huge hole centered on the two of them.

Starlight, unhindered, spilled across the land of Asgard, and harmful radiation also entered Asgard, rubbing against the divine Barrier and producing a dazzling brilliance, like the aurora borealis.

Thanos and Shazo drew closer and closer, finally stopping when they were about ten meters apart.

This distance is almost nose-to-nose to the two people; they can even see every single hair on each other's faces.

Not counting watching movies in his past life, this was the first time Shazo had ever closely observed Thanos.

Its purple skin was covered with grooves of varying depths, unlike the legendary Titanians.

Standing at 2.5 meters tall with a robust physique, coupled with his domineering and resolute aura, he exudes an even more imposing and majestic presence.

But what caught Shazo's attention the most were those deep and indifferent eyes. Their seemingly calm gaze contained endless sharpness, capable of tearing a person's soul apart at any moment.

Shazo also saw an extreme contradiction in Thanos's eyes: a chilling indifference mixed with a burning obsession.

No wonder he's a famous boss in the Marvel Universe!

Thanos was also carefully observing Shazo.

Humans are not one of the most powerful races in the Universe. Even among humans, Shazo is not particularly tall or strong; he is just an ordinary person.

However, Shazo combined the power of more than a dozen Shazo, possessing enough strength to naturally generate an arrogant aura, like a huge mountain.

As Thanos looked at Shazo, who stood ten meters in front of him, he felt his body tremble involuntarily wherever the other's gaze fell, as if he were being seen by a terrifying natural enemy.

This made Thanos sigh with admiration. It was truly an amazing planet that had produced such powerful figures as the Ancient One and Shazo, such a remote and desolate place as Earth.

Upon feeling the tremor on his skin, Thanos was suddenly shocked to realize that he had fallen behind in the contest of auras. His heart was immediately filled with resentment, and he then unleashed an even more ferocious aura.

The aura of the Universe overlord was like Hurricane in the ocean, carrying an overwhelming force that pressed down on Shazo.

The two were so close that Shazo felt not an aura, but the crashing of a giant wave.

How can we tolerate this?

Moreover, when it comes to a contest of presence, Shazo is the most skilled at it in the Marvel Universe, because he shared Conqueror's Haki with the Pirate Shazo.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, paused for a moment to gather his Setsuna, then suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Open!"

A terrifying aura exploded forth from Shazo's body, its immense pressure as divine, awe-inspiring, and powerful as a prison, instantly shattering Thanos's aura.

Caught off guard by such a terrifying counterattack, Thanos was forced to retreat violently, and ripples even appeared on his skin.

By the time Thanos had adapted to the powerful Conqueror's Haki and regained his balance, he had already traveled several hundred meters.

Perhaps because the pressure eased slightly, Thanos's body suddenly hunched over and curled up, vomiting a mouthful of hot blood. He swayed a few times before managing to stay upright and not fall.

Thanos asked curiously, "This way of using momentum is truly amazing. What's it called?"

Thanos was genuinely curious, but he wasn't afraid at all. In the instant he coughed up blood, he sensed through his own perception that this strange aura posed no direct threat.

Thanos vomiting blood was essentially due to his misjudgment; he used his own power to fight back, only to hit Liao Kong and injure himself.

Shazo replied with a smile, "Conqueror's Haki, a peculiar way of using aura."

Thanos closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds, then suddenly suppressed his aura completely before unleashing it again, releasing Conqueror's Haki.

The two different Conqueror's Haki clashed, and Asgard's Barrier let out a mournful cry. The originally invisible divine power was forced to manifest, showing wave-like tremors.

The air in the atmosphere was churning and churning, completely disrupting the refraction effect and turning the sky pure black, as if it were brewing some cataclysmic disaster.

According to the Pirate World, Conqueror's Haki is essentially Talent of the user, not something that can be cultivated later in life.

Conqueror's Haki represents the qualities of a king, and this magical aura can only be unleashed when one possesses immense power.

Thanos is the undisputed ruler of the Universe, commanding hundreds of planets and leading billions of beings; he certainly possesses the qualities of a king.

Thanos is still one of the strongest beings in the Universe, possessing unparalleled power. At this time, he also possesses the Power Stone, and his power has reached the pinnacle of the Universe.

Therefore, after being attacked by Shazo's Conqueror's Haki, he mastered Conqueror's Haki in just a few seconds.

Thanos sensed this new power and exclaimed with delight, "This is truly an excellent Spiritual Power attack technique! Using such a small amount of power is enough to intimidate and scare the enemy!"

"It seems that by slightly increasing the output of power, one can easily crush opponents weaker than oneself, regardless of their numbers."

At this point, Thanos stopped, carefully sensing the range of Shazo's Conqueror's Haki.

He discovered that on the surface of Asgard, all the aliens and monsters that had escaped from Lookout II were intimidated by Shazo's Conqueror's Haki.

Hundreds of millions of survivors collapsed, being Carnage by Hela's Undead Legion.

His subordinate, the Supergiant, was no match for Hela to begin with. After being killed on Proxima Midnight, he relied entirely on commanding a continuous stream of aliens to fight.

After being swept away by the Haki, she had no subordinates left to command and was instead besieged by the undead, leaving her powerless to resist Hela.

Thanos was completely unconcerned about the deaths of his men. He rubbed his large chin and sighed, "So your target wasn't me, but my surviving men."

"Poor guys, what a stroke of bad luck."

Shazo snorted coldly, "Asgard is already mine, of course I won't tolerate anyone destroying it."

"What kind of garbage did you bring on that huge warship? It wreaked havoc as soon as it landed, tearing even a tree to shreds."

Thanos grinned and said, "Those are just trash life forms from various planets. We're carrying them along to protect the planets, and they can also serve as cannon fodder—it's a way to make use of waste."

Shazo Zuo nodded, his expression hardening, and said, "Thanos, we've probed enough. It's time for us to fight seriously."

"Wait a moment." Thanos removed his golden helmet and casually tossed it aside.

Then, with a satisfied expression, he said, "Thank you. If I hadn't confronted you, I wouldn't have known that I shouldn't have been wearing this helmet after obtaining the Power Stone."

"I will fight you seriously as a way of thanking you."

Shazo: "Thanos, come Thanos!"

Thanos: "Shazo, I'm starting!"

Thanos raised his Infinity Gauntlet, its purple gems gleaming.

Shazo also raised his fist. Without further ado, the verbal exchange was over. Both sides expressed their attitudes through the confrontation of their auras, and both were determined to win.

The next second, the two were hundreds of meters apart, and their fists collided violently.

Boom!

The two fists collided without making direct contact; a blinding flash erupted between their knuckles, and a visible shockwave prevented the two fists from making contact before radiating outwards in all directions and directly downwards.

The powerful force caused Shazo and Thanos's arms to bounce back. The two immediately pulled back their fists, then swung them out again, in quick succession.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the two powerful figures did not use any sophisticated techniques, but simply used the most basic straight punches, throwing one punch after another.

By using the simplest way of exerting force, one can concentrate the largest amount of power in each punch. That is the power limit of the entire Universe. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely invincible and can destroy all enemies with overwhelming force.

However, both Shazo and Thanos had reached their peak power. When these two forces collided head-on, they ended in a draw. The violent energy had nowhere to be released and could only tear each other apart, constantly Oblivion and disintegrating, before being forcibly condensed together by subsequent forces.

The force of the collision gathered between the two, brewing a terrifying explosion in the fragile balance, even causing space itself to distort.

When space began to distort, the immense energy finally found an outlet, tearing Liao Kong apart and unleashing a Liao Kong storm that swept Sifang.

A large amount of black substance was spraying out of the crack and racing around at high speed.

As it entered Asgard's atmosphere, it became terrifying Inazuma; as it entered the void, it transformed into a horrific distortion, attracting floating meteorites and melting them into dazzling magma.

However, this was merely a test of their fighting skills.
