The energy in his hands controlled the surrounding matter, and this time he actually turned the wooden stairs into streams of icy water that directly clashed with Qin Xiao's pillar of fire.
Water and fire are incompatible; the water flow and the pillar of fire cancel each other out in mid-air, and huge plumes of steam fill the space between the two.
The woman hadn't recovered from the massive amount of steam in front of her when Qin Xiao's fire attack was neutralized.
With a whooshing sound, Qin Xiao's fist blasted a path through the steam, heading straight for the woman's head.
Qin Xiao held back five or six tenths of his strength in that punch, afraid of killing the person with it, as there were still many things he hadn't clarified.
Unfortunately, when Qin Xiao traveled through time, the movie about the Eternals hadn't been released yet.
Otherwise, Qin Xiao wouldn't have been so arrogant.
What Qin Xiao considered a punch powerful enough to stop a large truck was caught in the woman's hand.
Aside from making a 'thud' sound, the punch had no effect whatsoever.
The woman's outstretched arm showed no signs of strain, as if the punch had been insignificant to her.
"How is this possible..."
Since transmigrating to the Marvel, Qin Xiao has consistently overwhelmed his current enemies in terms of combat power.
This was the first time I had met an opponent in terms of strength.
With a defiant roar, Qin Xiao quickly withdrew his fist.
He gathered his strength again, clenched his fist, and this time, threw a punch with 100% power at the woman.
The woman didn't stop her; she just tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something.
Just as Qin Xiao's fist was about to land, the woman reached out and punched Qin Xiao in return.
With that punch, Qin Xiao felt as if he had been hit by a train engine.
My entire arm felt numb and tingly; it was clear that I had been completely outmatched in terms of strength.
The woman, however, continued her momentum, and her fist, smaller than Qin Xiao's, Qin Xiao his entire arm back.
Then he changed his fist into a palm and struck Qin Xiao in the chest.
Qin Xiao was suddenly lifted into the air and flew backwards towards the doorway.
Before the person could even fly out of the house, the door behind them and some furniture next to them transformed back into a thick metal plate.
The immense impact slammed Qin Xiao's back into the metal plate behind him, leaving a deep dent.
Qin Xiao felt a jolt in his internal organs.
It's clear that he has suffered some internal injuries.
This injury was nothing to Qin Xiao, but the strength of this Eternals was simply too terrifying.
Qin Xiao collapsed to the ground. The energy in the woman's hand seemed to extend like ever-spreading vines, reaching towards Qin Xiao.
It wrapped itself around Qin Xiao 'Qin Xiao body, binding him tightly at least seven or eight times.
This energy was extremely tenacious. Qin Xiao tried to break free, but with his current strength, he couldn't break free at all.
Just as the woman was walking towards Qin Xiao.
The system's voice suddenly rang frantically in Qin Xiao's mind.
Why do I say it's crazy? Because that's what it says.
"Warning! Warning! The Eternals before you possesses the strength of Skyfather Level. We advise you to leave immediately! Wait until you are stronger before challenging him again!"
"You fucking think you can just wait until I'm dead before you talk to me next time?"
Qin Xiao thought to himself, his anger blazing.
I initially thought this world didn't have any high-end combat power, but it turns out this is the real top-tier combat power dungeon.
Qin Xiao suddenly recalled the analyses of the Eternals by many netizens before his transmigration.
Some say Thanos was also a member of the Eternals.
Qin Xiao doesn't know if this is true or not yet, but in terms of strength, the woman in front of him is definitely on Thanos.
Qin Xiao's anger had absolutely no effect on the system.
"Please remain calm, host. I am merely a system, not the power level analysis glasses from Dragon Ball, nor a cheat code for seeing through things in a game. I do not have the ability to directly see through an opponent's strength."
Qin Xiao was so angry he wanted to curse.
But now is not the time to argue with the system.
He shouted it directly in his mind.
"Can't you see I'm tied up? I can't leave. Say something useful, stop spouting nonsense!"
"Please be mindful of your wording. This system warned the host the moment it detected the opponent's combat strength. It's the host who kept nagging; otherwise, this system would have already provided a solution."
"The following is the system's solution for this emergency: Since the host has not stayed in this world for the full fifteen days, the system will deduct 200 points from the host and initiate an emergency transfer. If you agree, please say '1'; if you disagree, the host can end this conversation!"
"Fuck you... 1! 1! 1!"
Qin Xiao really wanted to curse, but the woman was already right in front of him.
Qin Xiao could only frantically shout "1!" in his mind.
"Emergency plan activated! Congratulations, host! This was a wise choice! As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold. Your inability to defeat her is only temporary. With the help of this system, I believe you will soon be able to return and avenge yourself!"
After a long, rambling explanation, Qin Xiao Qin Xiao vanished in a flash of light before the woman could crouch down and reach out to him.
Qin Xiao's journey from Hong Kong directly back to New York may seem like he traveled halfway around the world, but in reality, he traveled the entire world.
He took a deep breath and recalled what he knew about the Eternals from his previous life.
Unlike the comic book setting, the Eternals in the Marvel Cinematic Universe were not created by the Celestials using their own DNA to modify humans on Earth.
Rather, they were a group of guides to a civilization that came directly from outer space to ancient Earth.
They helped ancient Earthlings invent writing, master agricultural techniques, and so on.
They play roles such as prophet, guide, and deity.
Having Eternity life, they have always remained hidden in human society, almost never interfering with human development.
Another theory is that the Eternals also have their own nemesis. The Celestials created two races, and the Eternals who came to Earth may have been simply trying to escape their enemy.
Helping humanity was a matter of course; they never interfered with human development. Perhaps it was because their enemies later came to Earth that they feared being exposed.
Regardless of their motives, or what conspiracy they might be plotting in that timeline, or what agreement they've reached with the Time Variance Authority.
None of that matters to Qin Xiao now. What's important is to quickly progress through the story, earn points, and continuously increase his strength so that he'll have a chance to avenge the punch he just received.
This will gradually unravel the true secrets hidden within the two timelines.
After being taught a lesson by Dreykov's ruthlessness last time we faced each other.
This time, Qin Xiao was once again taught a harsh lesson by the Eternals in terms of power.
Don't think you're something special just because you're a time traveler or have a system. Both your mindset and your strength need to grow gradually.
Only then can they reign supreme in this Marvel Universe universe filled with all sorts of magical powers!
These two chapters are from the 27th. There's still one chapter missing, which I'll make up for on the 28th or 29th, depending on the situation! The scheduled chapter for the morning of the 28th is no longer available. I'm going to sleep now, and I'll update tomorrow morning, trying to make up for the missed chapter with five chapters!
It's certain that the protagonist can't beat the Eternals right now. Don't accuse me of mistreating the protagonist; it's just a small defeat. He'll definitely get his revenge. Like I said before, even an ordinary person with a system needs to undergo a gradual transformation after transmigrating. If someone is invincible from the start, it's too easy for things to fall apart later on!
That's all for now, time for bed. I apologize again for not updating on time yesterday; I'll try to catch up after I get some sleep!
