After Li·Stark woke up, the three of them took a short rest in the abandoned medical cabin.
The air in the cabin was filled with the smell of old metal rust, mixed with the smell of disinfectant water unique to medical equipment, which was suffocating.
The buzzing sound from the old instrument suddenly became chaotic, like countless insects flapping their wings crazily. The originally pink-purple Nebula surged violently, like boiling magma, and the space twisted and deformed like a viscous liquid stirred by invisible hands.. The energy clusters floating in the distance collided wildly, erupting into dazzling white light. Each collision was accompanied by a deafening roar. The air was filled with disturbing static electricity, causing fine goosebumps to appear on the skin of the three people, and their hair stood up slightly uncontrollably.
"Something is wrong." Mobius gripped the weapon improved by TVA technology, his knuckles turned white from the force, and the protruding veins were clearly visible under the pale skin.
As a former TVA agent, he is particularly sensitive to abnormal changes in energy fluctuations. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping on his worn leather boots. "This energy fluctuation... is too similar to the frequency when the core device of TVA headquarters is activated."
His voice was low and depressed, as if it was squeezed out from the deepest part of his chest. The blue light on the surface of the weapon seemed weak and unstable in this strange environment, flickering on and off, as if it would go out at any time. Li·Stark noticed Mobius's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, which was a sign of extreme fear. He quietly moved towards Mobius and touched him lightly with his shoulder, conveying silent comfort, like giving the other person a warm flame in the dark.
Amora watched the interaction between the two with cold eyes, folding his hands in front of his chest, and raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth. "Don't act like brothers here, think about how to deal with the next situation first."
But the green magic flowing at her fingertips quietly formed a protective barrier around the three of them. The seemingly random movements actually protected the two of them accurately, and the outline of each magic line was full of delicate care. She caught a glimpse of Li Stark's knuckles that were slightly white due to nervousness. She felt inexplicably tight in her heart, but her face remained disgusted. "Time and Space Boy, if you are afraid, hide behind me so as not to hold you back." After saying that, he rolled his eyes, but the worry hidden in his eyes could not be concealed.
Before he finished speaking, a blue portal suddenly opened, and the bright light was as dazzling as the sun bursting, illuminating the entire the Void. In the light, Kang the Conqueror was walking slowly in his iconic blue armor. Every step was like stepping on everyone's heart, heavy and powerful. The complex lines on the armor were flowing with mysterious energy, as if countless micro-universes were running in it, sometimes condensing into tiny time vortices, and sometimes turning into flickering runes.
The eyes under the helmet were cold and sharp, as if he could see through the wrinkles of time and gain insight into everyone's past and future. When Mobius saw the clothes that were exactly the same as the statue of the founder in the TVA hall, his body froze slightly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the weapon in his hand almost slipped. He felt that his heart had stopped beating. The horrific legends about Kang that he had seen in TVA archives were flooding into his mind at this moment.
"He Who Remains Kang... aren't you trapped at the end of time?" Mobius's voice was trembling, with unconcealable fear, and the sound was like the whimpering of a person whose neck was strangled.
at TVA In the file, Kang is a god-like existence, controlling the order of time, but now he appears here, breaking all perceptions. Amora blocked half a step in front of Mobius without leaving a trace, purple magic looming at the fingertips Ruoxian was both a deterrent and a silent support to her companions. She subconsciously turned sideways in the direction of Li Stark, as if she wanted to use her body to build an impenetrable line of defense for him, even if this line of defense might be vulnerable to Kang.
Kang chuckled, the laughter was low and full of oppression, as if the whole space was vibrating with his laughter, the static electricity in the air became more violent, crackling with sparks. "Trapped? That was just a trap I set. What's interesting is that you can actually survive in this the Void." His gaze swept over Li Stark, with a greedy light flashing in his eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, "Especially you, little guy, the power in your body and the device in your hand are more interesting than I expected." As he spoke, the energy lines on the armor became brighter, as if echoing the excitement in his heart, and the temperature of the entire space seemed to rise because of his gaze.
Amora The purple magic around her instantly surged, and a huge magic circle was outlined behind her. The runes flashed, exuding a dangerous aura. The light of the magic circle illuminated her face in and out, like a Valkyrie.
She raised her chin, her eyes were alert and firm, but her tone was sarcastic. "You want to take something from us? You don't want to see if you have the ability. You are wearing a flashy armor. It looks like a bluff. I don't know how it will be in actual combat." But in her mind, she was frantically calculating Kang's strength, paying no attention to every detail. She was secretly thinking about how to get Li Stark out of the danger zone as soon as possible if a war really started. Her fingers trembled slightly behind her, which was nervousness and worry about the unknown battle, but she would never let this vulnerability show.
Li·Stark looked at the back of Amora, and a warm current surged in his heart. This Enchantress, who was always cold and arrogant, was like the most reliable line of defense at this moment. He held the that was buzzing crazily in his hand. Reset Charge, the blue light on the surface of the device stung his eyes, but he couldn't care about it. He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, but the cold sweat that continued to appear on his forehead still exposed his inner nervousness. The sweat slipped into his eyes and stung him, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
Amora caught a glimpse of his appearance in the light and shadow of the magic circle, and said to herself, "He is still a child after all," but she said, "Hey, don't shake like a sieve, it will affect my performance." At the same time, she quietly strengthened the strength of the magic barrier. The enhancement of each magic ripple embodies her concern for Li Stark.
Kang stretched out his hand, and an invisible force surged toward Li Stark. Wherever it passed, the air made a "sizzling" burning sound, as if the space was distorted by this force, and black cracks were torn out in the air. "I need your device and power to complete my design. As for you, you are just insignificant existences." His tone was flat, but full of contempt, as if the three of them were just ants that he could easily crush.
Mobius was the first to launch an attack, and an energy wave cut through the void like silver-white lightning, carrying all his fear and anger. However, the energy wave dissipated with Kang's gentle wave of his hand, and the powerful backlash caused Mobius to stagger back and hit the instruments in the medical cabin, causing the instruments to weigh heavily. With a squeaking sound, he coughed out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on the ground, forming dazzling red plums. Li Stark immediately rushed over to support him, holding Mobius's arm tightly with both hands, for fear that he would fall, and his voice was full of anxiety. "Hold on, let's find a solution together." His eyes were full of worry and determination, as if telling Mobius that they would never give up no matter what.
While Amora was maintaining the power of the magic circle to resist Kang, he took the time to glance at the two of them. Seeing the worried look on Li Stark's face, he shouted angrily, "Don't be that mother-in-law, I won't save you if you really die." But in the next second, she separated a ray of magic and quietly penetrated into Mobius's body to help stabilize his injury. The magic traveled through his meridians and repaired the damaged body. Every trace of magic injected condensed her concern. Her expression was still cold, but her eyes betrayed her. The tension and worry hidden in it were like a deep pool with no bottom.
Kang's armor erupted with intense light, and countless golden energy blades condensed around him. A heartbreaking sound of tearing sounded in the air, as if the space was being cut bit by bit by these energy blades. "Resisting in front of me is meaningless." He swung an energy blade at will, so fast that one could hardly see the trajectory, leaving only a golden afterimage. Amora almost instinctively pounced on Li Stark, using magic to condense into a shield to resist. The moment the energy blade hit the shield, the powerful impact shook her internal organs. She felt like her bones were about to be shattered. Blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, but she still gritted her teeth to support herself. The blood dripped down her chin, forming blood droplets on the ground.
Li·Stark held her and rolled to the ground, his heart full of guilt and emotion: "Why..." "Shut up!" Amora interrupted him, his voice weak but strong, "I just don't want you to die so early, so as not to waste my magic on collecting your body." But her trembling hands unconsciously grabbed Li Stark's sleeves, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would disappear. The strength of her tight grip revealed the fear and reluctance deep in her heart. Her nails dug deeply into Li Stark's sleeves, as if she could keep him firmly by her side.
Mobius struggled to stand up. The weapon in his hand was slightly deformed due to the force. There was still blood on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes did not flinch, but burned with unyielding flames. The three exchanged a look. No words were needed. They all understood that no matter how powerful the opponent was, they had to face it together, protect each other, and uncover Kang's conspiracy. Amora stood up and wiped away There was blood on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were firm and determined, her purple magic surged again, forming a huge purple vortex around her, and the light of magic illuminated her face, which was filled with fearlessness and determination. But in her heart, she silently swore that even if she tried her best, even if they were broken into pieces, she would let them leave here alive, although she would never say these words out loud, and would only use actions to interpret this feeling.
Kang looked at the three of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a contemptuous smile, "What a touching friendship, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, everything is in vain." He waved his arms, and more energy vortexes were shot towards the three of them. Each energy vortex contained enough power to destroy everything. The temperature in the air dropped sharply, as if the entire space was frozen.
