Gods? Nothing More Than a Bigger Whetstone
Space. Extremely cold.
Jiang Li transformed into a black and green shooting star, bursting out of the moon's orbit.
Before him lay an unfathomable Abyss of the universe, and within that Abyss resided a terrifying behemoth, larger than Neptune.
The distance is shrinking rapidly.
But faced with such a significant size difference, Jiang Li's charge was like a speck of dust deliberately drifting towards Mount Tai.
Insignificant. Meaningless.
The edge of the Solar System.
The Galactus stopped in its tracks.
He didn't look at the tiny meteor flying towards him. Gods don't care about the trajectory of bacteria.
In his eyes, there was only the vibrant blue Earth ahead.
That was the most delicious food he had ever seen in millions of years.
"Hunger..."
Ancient gods whisper.
The sound did not travel through the air, but rather at the bottom of the vacuum dimension, triggering a violent gravitational tsunami.
He slowly raised his enormous right hand.
A palm outstretched, obscuring the entire starry sky. It lunged towards Earth, grabbing fiercely!
Gravity began to break down.
Even though it was tens of millions of kilometers away, Earth's atmosphere had already been pulled into a huge vortex by this terrifying suction force. Clouds rolled back, and the sea boiled. Doomsday had arrived.
Just then...
Jiang Li stopped.
He hovered between Earth and the giant hand of the planet Galactus.
Before the palm of a god, he is not even the size of an atom.
Earth. The main base of the Plumbers.
Tony and Steve stared intently at the radar screen.
"Why isn't he transforming?!" Tony's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety as he pounded on the control panel. "Way Big! Celestials! Whatever he transforms into!"
In space.
Jiang Li couldn't hear Tony's roar.
He didn't press the dial. Not only did he not transform into the Celestials, he even removed the mask from his Necro-Armor.
In this way, he faced the creation laws of the universe in the purest, carbon-based human form.
The giant hand of the Galactus, accompanied by a dimensional storm capable of crushing everything, pressed down.
The shadow instantly engulfed Jiang Li.
Does being big necessarily mean being strong?
Jiang Li raised his head and looked at the five towering pillars pressing down on him from above.
A chilling, extremely arrogant smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"System," Jiang Li whispered in his mind.
[Ding! Host command detected!]
[Ascalon's Holy Sword Privileges - Fully Unlocked!]
[Physical restrictions: Removed!]
[Dimensional Lockdown: Lifted!]
Jiang Li raised his right hand.
Instead of making a fist, he brought his index and middle fingers together and gently made a line in the vacuum in front of him.
Laugh--!
A piercing sound, like cloth being torn apart, exploded in the absolute silence of space.
That's not air friction.
That was the spatial barrier of the universe, which was forcibly cut open!
A two-meter-long, pure black crack slowly opened in front of Jiang Li.
Inside the crack, there was no starlight, no matter. Only absolute nothingness that could devour even light.
Jiang Li stretched out his right hand and directly probed into the void rift.
He grasped something.
A sword hilt.
"Old man Azmuth said so."
Jiang Li's eyes instantly turned icy cold.
"This weapon isn't for killing people. It's for cutting through the laws of the universe."
Jiang Li's right arm muscles bulged suddenly, and he pulled outwards!
Draw your sword!
Clang--!!!!!
A crisp, clear sound, even louder than the clang of a colliding star, resounded throughout the entire Solar System!
A broadsword with an ancient design, its blade forged entirely from pure high-dimensional energy and an unknown metal, was forcefully pulled out of nothingness by Jiang Li!
Ascalon Holy Sword!
The pinnacle of technology created by Azmuth, the greatest genius and first brain of Galvan Prime, with his life's work! The ultimate weapon that once cleaved a planet in two and destroyed civilization!
The moment the holy sword was drawn.
The physical laws of the Solar System have collapsed.
Boom!
Centered on Jiang Li's sword blade.
A terrifying sword aura, indescribable in words, swept wildly in all directions!
Where the sword energy passed, space was no longer distorted, but rather... shattered!
Click! Click! Click!
The space tens of thousands of kilometers around Jiang Li was like tempered glass that had been hit hard, instantly covered with countless dense black cracks.
Deep within the cracks, a void storm rages, capable of annihilating everything.
Holding this sword, Jiang Li's surroundings became an absolute forbidden zone that even gods could not tread.
"Um?"
The Galactus originally didn't take Jiang Li seriously at all.
Suddenly, the movement stopped.
Those enormous, Nova- like eyes suddenly turned downwards, locking onto Jiang Li, who was suspended in the center of the spatial rift.
No.
He wasn't looking at Jiang Li, but at the sword in Jiang Li's hand.
An ancient deity that has lived for billions of years, a tangible embodiment of the laws of the universe.
At this moment.
I actually felt a... deadly tremor from that tiny blade, which was less than two meters long.
"Ants..."
For the first time, a flicker of emotion appeared in the Galactus's voice. It was the fury of being offended by mortals.
His enormous hand, which was originally reaching for the Earth, suddenly changed direction in mid-air.
Five fingers, thicker than planets and possessing a terrifying mass capable of crushing dimensions, slammed down towards Jiang Li at a speed exceeding the speed of light!
He wanted to kill the bug holding the toothpick first.
The violent palm strike shattered the armor shield covering Jiang Li's body.
But Jiang Li stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, not even blinking.
He gripped the hilt of Ascalon's sword with both hands.
Slowly raise it above your head.
The space around the sword blade, unable to withstand its extreme sharpness, is collapsing and Oblivion violently.
"Gods?"
Jiang Li looked at the colossal hand descending from above, blotting out the sky.
His eyes were icy cold.
"It's just a larger whetstone."
Jiang Li exerted force with both arms.
Facing the giant hand of the god, he swung his sword fiercely!
