Sword Slays a God!
In space.
A giant hand pressed down.
The Galactus's right hand, carrying a terrifying mass capable of crushing all dimensional laws, slammed down.
Five fingers, each larger than the Earth, were like five insurmountable cosmic walls of sighs, sealing off all of Jiang Li's escape routes.
Compared to this palm, Jiang Li was not even a speck of dust.
This extreme size contrast would drive any carbon-based life form insane on the spot.
But Jiang Li did not retreat.
He gripped the Ascalon Holy Sword tightly in one hand, and with his left hand, he decisively struck the Omnitrix on his chest.
Snap!
The blinding green light stubbornly exploded under the shadow of the god's all-encompassing palm.
Humanoid ablation. Genetic recombination.
Streamlined black and blue armor. Long, lithe limbs. Conical helmet and automatically lowering black windproof visor.
At the ends of the feet are two high-speed rotating energy wheels.
[XLR8 (XLR8)]!
One of the fastest races in the universe.
In space, where there is no gravity and no friction, how do the wheels of XLR8 gain leverage?
Jiang Li doesn't need a regular physical running track at all.
He gripped the Ascalon Holy Sword tightly in his right hand and slashed it fiercely in the vacuum before him!
Laugh!
The spatial barrier was cleaved open by the holy sword, revealing a long, pure black void rift.
"The runway, here it is."
Jiang Li's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, were fixed on the giant divine hand crashing down from above.
The wheels of his feet slammed down on the edge of the spatial rift!
Boom!!!
Without any warning, Jiang Li disappeared.
It wasn't invisibility. It was that the speed instantly broke through the barrier of the speed of light!
Time, in Jiang Li's eyes, stood still.
The giant hand that the Galactus had slammed down, carrying a destructive storm, now appeared to Jiang Li like a still image played in slow motion.
Jiang Li stepped through the spatial rifts shattered by the holy sword, swimming upstream against the current!
On Earth.
Tony, Steve, Gwen stared intently at the images transmitted back through the optical telescope.
They couldn't see Jiang Li.
All they saw was beneath that gigantic purple divine hand, powerful enough to crush the earth.
Suddenly, a line lit up.
An extremely thin, extremely bright beam of light, displaying an absolute ray of light that is a mixture of pale green and pure black!
This ray of light traveled upwards at a speed beyond human comprehension.
It surged upwards along the right wrist of the Galactus, leaving behind a cosmic scar that would never heal!
That was the afterimage of the XLR8, and the invincible sword light of the Ascalon Holy Sword!
In space.
Jiang Li pushed his speed to the limit.
The holy sword in his hand easily sliced through the ancient and thick cosmic armor of the Galactus, cut through the skin of the god, and shattered the bones containing the energy of creation!
There were no obstacles.
Before Azmuth's greatest masterpiece, the body of a god is no different from a piece of tofu.
One microsecond.
The beam of light that Jiang Li transformed into pierced through the entire right arm joint of the Galactus.
Then, at Galactus's shoulder, it suddenly veered back.
Cut it horizontally!
Swish--!!!!!
The light disappeared. Time resumed its flow.
An eerie silence fell over space.
The giant hand of the Galactus stopped less than 100,000 kilometers from Earth's atmosphere.
They didn't continue filming.
Click.
A sickening cracking sound resounded from the bottom of the vacuum.
Immediately afterwards.
Tony Stark and the others stared in utter disbelief.
The Galactus's right arm, larger than Jupiter, slowly slid down from the elbow.
It's broken.
That enormous, indescribably massive severed arm of a god had completely detached from Galactus's body.
The severed arm, out of control, crashed heavily onto the edge of the Solar System, instantly crushing more than a dozen unnamed asteroids.
Boom!
Like a hundred Nova exploding at the same time!
The purple-gold blood of the gods gushed out from the smooth wound on the severed arm of the Galactus!
Every drop of blood contained enough violent energy to destroy a galaxy. The purplish-gold blood transformed into a vast sea of fire, illuminating most of the Solar System as if it were daytime!
God is bleeding.
And one of his arms was completely severed!
"Roara...
Galactus has lived for billions of years and survived the previous Big Bang.
At that moment, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire Marvel Multiverse!
This was the first time he had ever felt pain since he was born!
And it's the pain of losing an arm!
The screams materialized into a dimensional storm. The Kuiper Belt at the edge of the Solar System was completely cleared, and countless meteorites were reduced to dust in the sound waves.
On Earth.
The control room was completely silent.
"Friday ..." Tony's voice trembled.
"Yes, sir."
"Did I just see... Jiang Li... dislocate the arm of that planet-eating monster?"
"Yes, sir. The target's right arm has been physically severed. The cut is smooth, indicating it was caused by a sharp weapon." The artificial intelligence provided the coldest confirmation.
Steve swallowed.
With a single sword strike, a god as large as a planet was severed.
In space.
Jiang Li floated amidst the spray of purple-gold divine blood.
The holy sword's energy shield perfectly isolated the raging blood.
A green light flashed. He reverted from his XLR8 form and returned to his human body.
He held the Ascalon Holy Sword in one hand. Not a single drop of blood stained the blade.
He stared at the cosmic deity roaring in agony before him.
Why are you shouting so loudly?
Jiang Li picked at his ear, his eyes full of disdain.
"When you're eating someone else's planet, have you ever thought that one day someone might cut off your arm and let you taste its saltiness?"
Provocation. Extreme provocation.
The Galactus's screams abruptly ceased.
He turned his head abruptly.
In those eyes, burning with the light of a Nova, the pain had completely faded. In its place was absolute rage, the ultimate killing intent born from the desecration of a god!
He finally realized that the tiny insect in front of him was not food, but a huge threat that could kill him.
"Those who blaspheme the laws..."
"Erase!"
The Galactus did not use its remaining left hand to attack.
His enormous left hand reached inside his breastplate.
Buzz--!
When he pulled his hand out.
Between his two fingers, he held an extremely tiny metal device that shimmered with an eerie silver light.
The device was small, only about the size of a human handgun. It was completely disproportionate to Galactus's size.
But the moment that device appeared...
Jiang Li's system, including even the Ascalon Holy Sword, simultaneously issued an extremely piercing red alert!
[WARNING! A cosmic absolute annihilation-level weapon has been detected!]
[Target confirmed: Ultimate Nullifier!]
[Power level: Enough to reset an entire single universe!]
The most terrifying causal artifact in the Marvel Universe. An ultimate trump card that even gods dare not use lightly.
The Galactus was driven to desperation.
"Erase."
Galactus's voice was icy cold. He pointed the small silver device at Jiang Li.
A blinding white light of death suddenly erupted from the top of the device.
