A Punch That Shattered a Star
(A super long chapter of 9179 words, proudly hands on hips once again.)
Hela's crimson eyes instantly locked onto Chen Tian's smiling face, like a poisoned dagger.
The image of her being cleaved to her knees by a single sword strike on the cliff of Blue Planet, carrying an unprecedented sense of humiliation, brutally shattered the arrogance that had just swelled due to her overflowing power.
She wanted to tear him to pieces!
"You?!" Every word Hela was laced with suppressed savagery.
The crown of thorns on her head hummed, and the dark green aura of death swirled around her like tangible smoke. The golden rubble beneath her feet silently turned to decaying ash. "A mere insect that relies on a little space to jump around? I will extract your soul and stuff it into the filthiest Death Thorns, where it will wail day and night for ten thousand years!"
Chen Tian picked at his ear, looking disgusted. "Wow, listen to this villain's speech. It's so outdated and it even has an echo effect. Is he filming a free advertisement for Death Valley?"
With a flick of his wrist, a greatsword appeared out of thin air, and his right arm darted back to precisely grasp the hilt of the rough and menacing Red Queen sword behind him.
"That nagging is so annoying," he grinned, his White Fang gleaming against the dusty backdrop of the ruins. "Fighting is so much more satisfying! You don't have to pay for the broken stuff, how great is that!"
"Thor!" Chen Tian yelled without turning his head, "Take your brother and get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
Thor had barely caught his breath when he heard this. Without hesitation, a flash of lightning appeared beside Loki. He grabbed his brother by the scruff of his neck as if he were a chick, dragging him away in a panicked green shadow. In an instant, they retreated to the edge of a relatively intact golden dome a thousand meters away.
"Thor!! Be gentle! My neck! My neck!" Loki's protest was ripped apart by the wind.
The battlefield was instantly cleared.
Only Chen Tian and Hela remained, facing each other across the center of the giant crater filled with flowing lava.
The air froze, the lingering thunder and the aura of death tearing at each other like two ferocious beasts.
Hela moved! No nonsense, just pure killing intent driving him!
"Die!" Her body swayed slightly, leaving behind a clear, dark green afterimage! Her true form appeared like a ghost less than three meters above and to the right of Chen Tian!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three gigantic Bone Spear, thicker than a man's waist and wreathed in jet-black death runes, materialized out of thin air, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek. Forming a triangular shape, they carried a decaying power capable of Oblivion all life, instantly sealing off all of Chen Tian's evasive angles and piercing straight for his head, heart, and spine! The power contained in the spear tips caused ripples to spread through the very space!
A blue light flashed deep within Chen Tian's pupils.
"Huh!"
Buzz!
A terrifying repulsive field erupted from him!
The air was compressed, creating a visible ring-shaped boom! The three Bone Spear, powerful enough to pierce mountains, struck an invisible planetary barrier!
Click! Click! Click!
A sickening cracking sound rang out! The tips of the three Bone Spear crumbled and twisted inch by inch!
"Hmph!" A hint of impatience flashed in Hela's eyes, and she suddenly spread her left hand wide!
"Strangle!"
Sizzle sizzle sizzle--!
The scorched earth beneath Chen Tian's feet, churning with lava, suddenly tore apart!
Dozens of Death Thorns, covered in sharp barbs and dripping with viscous, dark green Venom, shot out like venomous snakes, ignoring the repulsive field and coiling directly around his legs! Wherever the thorns passed, even the lava instantly froze and turned to ashes!
"Playing with vines?" Chen Tian's lips curled into a roguish smile, advancing instead of retreating!
The hydraulic engine behind the hilt of the Red Queen sword in her right hand roared violently!
"Roar--!!!"
High-temperature steam erupted! The crimson blade was instantly heated to incandescent white! The surrounding air was distorted by the intense heat!
"EX--Triple!" Chen Tian lowered his center of gravity, gripped his sword with both hands, and the Red Queen transformed into a blazing white streak that tore through the vision, fiercely countering the thorny poisonous vines that were Strangle from below!
Sizzle--!!!
The ear-piercing sound of metal cutting mingled with the muffled thud of plants being torn apart!
The blazing white blade clashed violently with the decaying dark green vines! The intense heat and the power of death Oblivion!
The thorns that had wrapped around his legs were swiftly severed and evaporated! The shattered, dark green fragments were instantly ignited by the intense heat, like Fire Fly drifting from hell!
But Hela's figure had already vanished as if blending into the shadows, taking advantage of the shattering Bone Spear and the strangling Strangle!
A murderous aura erupted from behind Chen Tian without warning! The dense aura of death almost froze his soul!
Hela's true form appeared behind Chen Tian as if tearing through space, less than half a meter away!
A cruel grin spread across her face. Her right hand, fingers clenched like a knife, condensed into a blade of dark green energy, thin as a cicada's wing yet sharp enough to cut through space. Silent yet swift as lightning, it pierced straight into Chen Tian's heart!
With his other hand, he loosely clenched his fist into a claw, and the Death Thorns, like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, coiled towards Chen Tian's right arm joint where he held the sword!
A pincer attack! A decisive situation!
"Spatial tricks?!" Chen Tian didn't even turn his head; a contemptuous sneer rang out almost simultaneously with the attack.
Buzz!
His figure flickered suddenly in place, as if there was a bad signal!
Hela's fingertip blades and Death Thorns pierced through Chen Tian's back and right arm joint simultaneously—but only left a fleeting afterimage in the air!
"What?!" Hela's pupils constricted sharply!
"Here I am, big sister!"
Chen Tian's slightly mocking voice rang in her left ear like a ghost's whisper! Almost at zero distance!
Hela's heart sank. Her rich combat instincts allowed her to forcefully twist her body in extreme terror! But it was too late!
Bang! Bang!
Two dull gunshots, like heavy hammer blows, rang out almost right next to her ears! The sound made her eardrums ache!
The cold, metallic muzzle of the gun, still hot from the smoke, pressed firmly against her temple like the fangs of a viper!
Blue Rose! A ruggedly designed double-muzzle revolver, its muzzles emitting a faint purple glow!
The distance was too close! The speed was too fast! The timing was too tricky! Hela could even see the intricate carvings on the gun barrel that resembled a roaring demon!
"Sayonara!" Chen Tian grinned wildly and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Bang bang--!!!
The Blue Rose, combined with the immense energy of 'Virtual Style: Zi', erupted in a violent instant!
What spewed from the muzzle were not bullets, but two compressed, scorching, and violent torrents of purplish-black magic! It was as if two miniature magic bombs had been detonated at close range!
Boom!!!
Hela's head was completely engulfed by the raging magical flames! The immense impact sent her flying backward like a baseball hit at home base!
Boom!
Her dark green figure crashed heavily into a pile of molten gold that hadn't completely cooled in the distance, creating a huge spray of hot, viscous golden foam!
Smoke and dust filled the air.
"Tsk, what a waste of that hairstyle." Chen Tian blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle of the Blue Rose gun, and the red-hot barrel spun back to its original position with a crisp "click".
He hoisted the Red Queen onto his shoulder, chin raised, and gazed at the smoke and dust.
The slag heap in the distance suddenly exploded!
"Humans--!!!"
Hela's figure soared into the sky!
The deafening shriek was filled with unprecedented rage and a barely perceptible hint of fear!
Her dark green hair was blown into a mess and charred mess, and two deep burn marks, burning with purplish-black magical embers, were clearly visible on her fair forehead!
A perfect face ruined, like a torn work of art!
Although she was instantly healed with divine power, the humiliation of having two guns pressed against her head completely ignited her madness!
I'll make sure you die a horrible death!
She raised her hands high above her head, and the crown of thorns on her head burst forth with a dazzling light like a dark green sun!
The entire sky above the remaining Sovereign was instantly dyed a deathly dark green! Terrifying energy fluctuations swept across the collapsed golden ruins like a tsunami!
"The Death Realm Descent!!"
Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!
The surrounding earth was being violently torn apart!
This time, instead of thorns, countless decaying bone pillars, each topped with a giant skull and as massive as pillars supporting the heavens, burst forth from the earth!
Each bone pillar was wrapped in chain-like death runes, emanating an endless aura of death that robbed people of their lives!
They were like a deadly forest, instantly surrounding Chen Tian! Completely sealing him off from all sides!
The hollow eye sockets on the bone pillar simultaneously lit up with dark green ghost fire, locking onto the tiny Chen Tian at the center!
Buzz--!!!
Countless beams of dark green death light, condensed to a liquid state, spewed out from the eye sockets of these giant skulls!
Like the light of judgment from the Death Realm, it instantly wove together into a destructive net, Strangle Chen Tian! Its coverage was vast, its speed incredible, leaving no escape!
"Tsk, holding back a big move, huh?" Chen Tian looked at the interwoven net of death light filling the sky, but his face showed no fear. Instead, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a fierce and wild aura began to awaken within him.
He twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.
"Then I'll play a big game with you!"
He clenched his right fist tightly! A groan of shattering glass echoed from the space around his fist!
Buzz!
A layer of white light, like ripples on water, instantly covered his fist!
He exuded a tremor that made the space itself tremble slightly! It was as if he was not holding a fist, but the fate of the entire space!
"Try this."
Chen Tian's deep voice rang out as he slowly pulled his right fist back, and an invisible, terrifying pressure, powerful enough to crush mountains, condensed wildly around him!
The surrounding air became thick and stagnant, and the dark green death rays that shot towards them seemed to have crashed into an invisible quagmire, their speed decreasing sharply!
"Smash it!!!"
Boom!!!!!!!!
Chen Tian slammed his fist into the Void in front of him!
Click-click--!!!
Centered on his fist, the entire space in front of him shattered like a mirror, instantly becoming covered with countless cracks! Spiderweb-like, pale cracks spread wildly!
It's the shattering of space!
A terrifying spherical shockwave, visible to the naked eye and formed purely from spatial vibrations, slammed into the 'fragile' barrier of space like a world-destroying hammer!
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
Wherever the Quake passed, space was shattered and distorted inch by inch!
The dark green death light, powerful enough to obliterate even a god's body, was forcibly twisted, stretched, and disintegrated inch by inch in the Quake, like fragile glass threads! Not even a ripple was created!
The devastating Quake continued its relentless march, crashing violently into the Forest of Death composed of countless massive white bone pillars!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A deafening series of explosions!
Those massive bone pillars, wreathed in death runes, were as fragile as biscuits before the Quake that tore through space! The moment they made contact, countless pale, ring-shaped cracks exploded on the pillars!
Then, starting from the point of contact, it crumbled and disintegrated layer by layer! Huge bone fragments mixed with dark green death energy were violently thrown into the sky by the violent Quake, like a sand dune collapsing!
The entire Bone Forest held out for less than half a second before being plowed flat by the devastating spatial Quake, leaving a gaping, destructive passage! At the end of the passage stood Hela, her eyes blazing with Hela!
"Impossible!!!" Hela screamed, her voice filled with disbelief and horror!
How could a human possibly manipulate spatial power? This is definitely not some kind of clever teleportation like the Space Stone!
No, this is pure, naked power!!
The Quake from the shattering space continued their relentless assault on her head! The sense of impending death had never been so palpable!
Hela shrieked, her hands suddenly crossing in front of her to protect herself. Dark green death energy surged forth like a boiling ocean, condensing into a massive, thorn-carved shield of death before her!
Boom--!!!!
The Quake slammed violently into the giant shield!
Click!
Countless cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the giant shield!
The lava ground beneath Hela's feet collapsed like a fragile biscuit! The violent force propelled her backward, carving two deep, scorched furrows into the lava surface!
Her arms trembled violently, and the muscles beneath her dark green armor twisted and deformed from exerting extreme force!
It's blocked!
A sinister glint of relief flashed in Hela's eyes.
When she lowered her trembling arms, she was stunned, because she could no longer see Chen Tian.
That punch... sent her flying...
The familiar golden ruins were no longer before her.
Absolute silence.
As far as the eye could see, there were only endless, cold metal wreckage.
The broken golden pillar is stuck diagonally into the earth, like the ribs of a giant beast, and the huge gold nugget that melted and then solidified is twisted into a grotesque shape.
The ground is riddled with bottomless rifts, where lava flows faintly, emitting a dark red glow and a pungent sulfurous smell. Fine gold dust floats in the air, like solidified dust and snow.
What shocked her even more was the sky.
Pale, twisted spatial rifts, resembling giant lightning scars, covered the entire dome!
They spread, tore, and intertwined silently, like a pane of glass on the verge of shattering, shrouding this desolate, apocalyptic scene.
There were no stars, no light, only these shocking scars on space, emanating unsettling and unstable fluctuations.
This... is not the battlefield of Sovereign City at all!
The terrifying spatial power contained in that punch blasted her through the spatial barrier, sending her crashing into a corner on the other side of Sovereign! The entire planet was scarred by the battle!
"Hey, did my punch send you this far?"
That familiar voice, so familiar it made her blood run cold, rang out from behind her!
Hela's pupils constricted to a single point, her entire body tensed instantly, and a deathly dark green energy erupted in response to protect her! She twisted her body abruptly, her movements so fast they left afterimages!
Chen Tian stood there.
It was on a twisted golden platform less than ten meters away from her.
He didn't even bother to adopt a fighting stance; he just stood there casually, hands in his pockets, his face still bearing that same innocent, sunny smile that she hated to the core.
The devastating spatial rifts around him seemed to serve as a backdrop, posing no threat whatsoever, but rather making him appear like an ordinary person strolling in his own backyard.
But the golden ground beneath his feet, which was silently cracking and spreading, and the faint force field around him that slightly distorted even the cracks in space, all revealed the terror of its core!
"Sorry," Chen Tian shrugged, his tone so sincere it was almost irritating, but his eyes were like those of a predator eyeing its prey, all traces of his previous teasing gone. "Enough warming up, huh? Look at this planet, we've pretty much destroyed it, it looks pretty ugly."
He slowly pulled his right hand out of his pocket, his five fingers slowly spreading out, and then—suddenly clenched it!
Buzz!!!
An invisible, suffocating pressure suddenly Descent!
Centered on his fist, the gravity within a kilometer radius instantly increased a hundredfold!
The floating gold dust was forcefully pressed back to the ground! The massive metal wreckage groaned under the weight, creaking and twisting!
Hela groaned, and the hard shell beneath her feet instantly cracked open, causing her body to sink half an inch!
A pure, irrational power! Even her proud death power felt a slight stagnation!
"Or," Chen Tian, looking at Hela's disheveled posture as she was forced to bend over against gravity, his smile widening to reveal his gleaming white teeth, carrying a declarative air of pure destruction.
"How about I bury you and this annoying piece of trash with my next punch? That would be the end of it all, what do you say?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through space, as if crushing a planet was just a matter of flicking a finger!
Hela's heart clenched painfully!
An unprecedented chill crept up my spine and spread throughout my body!
That instinctive tremor deep within that divinity against a higher level of destructive will!
She could clearly sense that this human... no, this monster in human skin, had had enough fun!
That punch that just tore through space and sent her flying billions of miles was merely a casual "warm-up" for him?!
The death power within Hela was like a cat with its fur standing on end; the dark green energy exploded in a reactive burst!
"Madness—!" she roared, her face contorted with extreme shock and rage!
But the word "liang" got stuck in my throat.
Because Chen Tian's figure appeared in her field of vision the instant she shouted—
Puff.
Disappeared on the spot.
Not even a ripple of energy remained! Utterly, completely, utterly clean!
"!" Hela's heart stopped!
A jolt of electricity shot through my scalp! The instinct to fight overwhelmed everything!
She spun around abruptly, the thorny crown gleaming brightly, and a dark green death aura enveloped her entire body like boiling armor. Her pupils narrowed to pinpoints as she warily scanned every corner of the desolate metal ruins!
Wind? No! Energy fluctuations? No! Spatial disturbances? No!
There was nothing there! Only those silent, spreading cracks in space, like eyes mocking her.
The remains of a previous battlefield.
Thor and Loki stood back to back on a huge piece of gold, both brothers looking completely bewildered.
Where are they?
Thor wiped the soot off his face, his thick fingers pointing to the planet's surface below, where massive damage was still visible. "Hela! And that madman Chen Tian! Two of them!"
His eyes were filled with confusion. "That spatial tremor just now... Hela was blasted to the other side of the planet?"
Loki's fake smile had long since crumbled. He irritably tugged at his robes, which were covered in golden dust. "How should I know! Teleportation! The damn Space Stone! He's just using us like a football! That spatial vibration... damn it, I felt like my insides were about to come out!"
Just as the two brothers were staring at each other, their minds frantically racing with "Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?"
Buzz!
Without warning! Two beams of eerie blue teleportation light instantly enveloped them!
"What?!" Thor only had time to utter a short, surprised sound.
Swish!
The field of vision switched instantly!
Cold! Vacuum! The feeling of weightlessness came instantly!
Thor and Loki suddenly appeared in the pitch black silence.
Beneath my feet lies the vast, scarred yet still roughly spherical Sovereign, its golden city lights shimmering faintly through the enormous wounds, while in the distance stretches a silent sea of stars.
The two instinctively tried to inhale, but only inhaled Void; the icy chill instantly pierced their skin!
"Ugh!" Loki's face instantly turned red. He clutched his neck, his divine body reacting instinctively in the vacuum, his divine power automatically creating a thin shield to isolate the vacuum environment.
Thor also grunted, and lightning crackled around him, forming a protective layer.
It was less than a hundred meters in front of them.
Chen Tian hovered there silently, his back to them, facing the scarred golden planet.
A vacuum is supposed to be silent.
But Thor and Loki's hearts were pounding wildly!
Because at this moment, the aura emanating from Chen Tian made the hairs on their bodies stand on end!
Gone was the frenzy or mockery of previous battles; instead, there was a terrifying pressure that could freeze even starlight!
He had no dazzling light effects; only a thin, almost transparent layer of ghostly blue magical flames silently burned and flickered on his body.
The flames were extremely restrained, yet they contained a destructive energy that made their very souls scream!
It distorted the surrounding light as if it were alive, giving the space around Chen Tian a strange, slightly collapsed visual illusion.
He was gathering power! Gathering a power powerful enough to make even their divine status tremble!
Thor clenched his fists instinctively, lightning flickering uneasily in his palm.
Loki stared intently at Chen Tian's retreating figure, his fingers curling nervously—he wanted to run away!
But the invisible pressure was like quagmire, making even moving a finger incredibly difficult! What... what is this guy trying to do?!
Chen Tian did not turn around, nor did he make any move.
He simply stared at Sovereign as if it were an insignificant toy.
Then, his lips opened and closed silently.
Thor and Loki understood the lip movements.
Bye-Bye
Buzz--!
No sound travels in a vacuum.
But deep within Thor and Loki's brains, in the tremors of every neuron, in the very depths of their marrow—a terrifying, indescribable roar, a heart-wrenching sound, as if the very foundations of the universe were being forcibly torn apart!!!
That was the desperate, collapsing wail emanating from space itself!!!
Chen Tian pulled his right arm back, covered in a layer of Azure Demonic Flame, and threw a punch towards the huge golden planet.
There was no dazzling artillery barrage, no shockwaves tearing through galaxies.
Only the space in front of the fist—
Click! Click, click, click!!!
Like countless Crystal shattered simultaneously by a giant hammer! A dense, pale, and rapidly spreading spatial rift, originating from Chen Tian's fist, instantly expanded!
Silently!
Yet it is like the most violent plague in the universe!
The crack instantly covered the entire Sovereign in the field of vision!
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely.
In Thor and Loki's frozen eyes, reflecting the scene of destruction, that enormous, once glorious and extravagant golden planet—
It wasn't an explosion.
It didn't break into pieces.
Instead, it's like a grain of sand thrown into a shredder, or a fragile biscuit crushed by an invisible, immense pressure.
From the point where the crack touched the planet's surface, it silently, without resistance, collapsed and disintegrated instantly! It transformed into fine, diffused golden dust, invisible to the naked eye!!!
There was no Kakkō, no loud noise.
There was only a gigantic, slowly expanding cloud of pure golden dust that suddenly spread out in the depths of space!
It broke.
The entire Sovereign, along with any remaining Sovereigns, their Perfect Temple, their pride and gold... were completely wiped out in less than a breath by this silent punch!
It turned into a tiny speck of stardust in the universe!
Thor's mouth was agape, his pupils filled with a pure, incomprehensible blankness.
He held Leiting's hand, but not a single spark of electricity could be released.
Loki's face was deathly pale. He stared intently at the slowly spreading golden dust cloud, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.
A thousand years of cunning proved as fragile as a joke in the face of the absolute violence of this punch.
Only one thought was running through his mind, screaming wildly: This is fucking even more outrageous than anything I've ever seen before!!!
Chen Tian slowly withdrew his fist, and the dark blue demonic flames on his body silently extinguished as if they had never existed.
He turned around, his face still bearing that same radiant smile that sent chills down Thor's spine and made Loki's stomach churn.
He clapped his hands casually as if he had just thrown away a bag of trash, then flashed his signature, eight- White Fang, gleaming smile at the two completely petrified, soul-stirring Asgard princes.
"Thud."
The crisp sound of a pull tab being pulled open was particularly clear amidst the roars of zombies and the explosions of high-explosive grenades.
Thor and Loki jolted almost simultaneously, their pupils contracting sharply due to the sudden change in light.
The ground beneath my feet felt like a thick carpet, no longer a cold, lifeless vacuum.
The air was filled with a familiar, peculiar smell—a mixture of cola, potato chips, and the heat from electronic devices.
The deafening sounds of gunfire and the howls of zombies blasted from the top-of-the-line surround sound system mounted on the wall, assaulting their eardrums.
The two looked around blankly.
Familiar neon signs, rows of cool game consoles and figurines displayed in glass cases, and movie and anime posters on the walls.
Chen Tian's arcade!
My gaze was instantly drawn to the enormous, incredibly comfortable sofa in the center of the room.
Chen Tian was slumped in the sofa, wearing his loose T-shirt with Patrick Star printed on it, his legs casually crossed, holding a game controller in his hand, his fingers flying rapidly across the buttons.
On the screen is a city shrouded in smoke, and the character he controls is unleashing a barrage of firepower on a horde of zombies.
On the small table next to the sofa, a can of ice-cold cola, steaming cold, stood quietly, with fine water droplets still condensing on its surface.
Just now... who punched a planet into cosmic dust...?
Thor's mind went blank. He knew Chen Tian was strong, but to this extent? He had no idea! He'd never seen anyone this strong before!!!
He opened his mouth, his throat a little dry, unsure whether to shout "Where's Hela?" or "Where's that planet?", finally managing only a shocked exclamation in a thick Asgard accent. "What the HEL?!"
Loki's facial muscles twitched a few times as he looked down at his dark green robes—completely undamaged, even the gold dust that had settled on them was gone.
He looked up at the guy on the sofa, engrossed in killing zombies and occasionally gulping down a can of cola, and felt his common sense about magic and his worldview being rubbed into the ground.
He elegantly (or rather, tried to elegantly) straightened his collar, his voice dry with a mixture of relief and absurdity. "Before the next teleport, could you please provide a progress bar... or... at least a notification sound?"
Chen Tian didn't even turn his head, his eyes fixed on the giant zombie boss charging towards him on the screen. His fingers moved so fast they were almost blurry, and he mumbled, "Mmm, mmm, next time for sure... Holy crap! This boss can even regenerate health?! No sportsmanship!" He suddenly pressed the button on the controller, and the character on the screen picked up a Rocket. With a deafening roar, the boss and a bunch of surrounding monsters were blasted into the air.
"Ha! I said no damage, and I meant no damage!" Chen Tian cheered excitedly, raising his hands high. Then he shouted into the air, "Friday! Did you record my entire game?"
F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s gentle voice rang out. "Of course, Mr. Chen. High-definition 4K 60fps, lossless audio track, fully recorded and saved. Would you like to upload it to your 'One-Life Clear' channel now? Suggested title: 'New DLC Hell Difficulty? No Damage Speedrun, Kami Would Say It's Great.' Or do you have something even more impressive?"
"This is it! This is the title! It's so cool!" Chen Tian smugly gulped down a large mouthful of ice-cold cola, then slumped back comfortably. "Share it! We have to share it! Let those netizens see what's what!"
"Okay, Mr. Chen," Friday replied, then switched to a steady tone, "Also, there are a few messages that need your attention. The first one is from the Boss:"
Tony's virtual avatar popped up instantly on the small table in front of the sofa. Tony was wearing a sharp suit and holding a glass of whiskey.
"Hey, gamer!! Are you still hiding in your arcade? That old fogey Pym actually recommended a 'talent' to the Arbitrators as an intern, his name is Scott Lang. I've sent you his information, take a look yourself. I think if that guy teamed up with Deadpool, they could blow the roof off the safe house... Good luck, remember to let me know when you get back, and we'll work on 'Pajama Baby's' advanced training plan again!"
"Scott Lang? Ant-Man?" Chen Tian slapped his forehead, almost spilling his cola. "Pym recommended him? Oh my god! Spider-Man is a chatterbox, Deadpool is a lunatic, and now Ant-Man? The Arbitrators headquarters is going to turn into a stand-up comedy show!"
Friday's voice seamlessly followed. "The second message is from Miss 2B and Miss Kiana, location: private beach on Oahu, Hawaii. Message content: 'Master/Commander! Azure sea, blue sky, sunny beach, unlimited chilled coconut juice, swimsuits... cough, the scenery is amazing! Come quickly when you're done! Looking forward to building sandcastles (crossed out) and playing on jet skis together! PS: Kiana said if you don't come, she'll roast all the coconuts and eat them.' Attached are real-time beach temperature and humidity data."
"The beach?!" Chen Tian's eyes lit up instantly. He tossed the controller onto the sofa and jumped up. "Let's go! We have to go! Build sandcastles! Ride motorcycles! And bikinis!!!"
Just as he was about to use teleportation, he caught a glimpse of two Asgard princes standing there, looking as if they had just been pulled out of shock therapy.
Chen Tian flashed a bright smile, bypassed the petrified Loki, and patted Thor's broad shoulder directly:
"Thor! Show your little brother around my happy old home! Play games as much as you want, drink as much as you want!"
He gestured mischievously towards Loki, whose face had turned green, "But... we'd better keep a close eye on him!" He deliberately dragged out his words, with a hint of anticipation, "We have a lot of treasures here, don't let him get itchy and 'misbehave,' otherwise..."
Chen Tian made a mock spanking gesture and chuckled, "I really will spank him!"
Before he could finish speaking, a blue light instantly enveloped Chen Tian, and the next second, only a slight dent and a can of chilled cola remained on the sofa.
The arcade was now filled only with deafening game background music and the disheveled figures of two Asgard princes in the wind.
Thor glanced at his brother Loki, whose face was pale, and struggled to process the information: take his brother... on a tour... keep a close eye on him... cause trouble... spank him???
"Loki ..." Thor began with difficulty, trying to regain some of his elder brotherly authority, "Which one... do you want to play first?" He pointed to a row of arcade machines flashing dazzling lights next to him.
Loki slowly turned his head, his pupils swirling with a complex emotion between horror and shame—the image of the planet that had silently crumbled in his field of vision was still replaying in his mind.
"Heh... heh... Sol, how about we find somewhere to sit down? My legs are a little weak..."
"Good suggestion...I think I need a large beer..." Thor agreed with Loki's suggestion.
"Mr. Thor, would you like the beer you requested delivered to Mr. Chen's arcade?" F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s voice responded immediately after Thor asked for beer.
"But I need to warn you, if you spill beer in Mr. Chen's arcade, he will be very angry."
Upon hearing F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s words, Thor immediately shouted, "No! No need! Loki and I are going to the restaurant for drinks!"
With that, he grabbed Loki and ran outside.
He wouldn't dare drink in Chen Tian's favorite arcade.
The scene where Deadpool accidentally spilled Taco on Chen Tian's sofa, and Chen Tian had Vergil cut him into countless pieces and stuff them into Vibranium box, left a deep impression on him.
Even more memorable than Chen Tian's one-punch-and-shatter-star technique...
After all... the Deadpool who emerged from the Vibranium box... his appearance... was even more terrifying than the monsters in Piccolo movies...
