Chapter 147
Those are the Infinity Stones on Earth.
Thanos didn't have much time to be lenient.
Upon learning that Galactus's messengers had descended upon Earth, Loki knew his chance had come.
It would be a real problem if the starving Galactus were to completely devour the Space Stone. Therefore, Loki must retrieve the Space Stone from Su Chen before Earth is destroyed.
Are you alone?
The leader of the Chitauri Army said expressionlessly.
This monster, who never officially displayed his fighting power in the Avengers movie, is also one of Thanos's most capable subordinates.
"Certainly."
Despite being a warlord-like figure, Loki, did not become arrogant after obtaining the throne.
Because he knew exactly how terrifying Thanos was behind this guy.
"To defeat that Earth boy, all I need to do is personally unlock the sealed gate to achieve victory."
As the most cunning and scheming individual, Loki, God of Deception, already knew how to deal with Su Chen.
His figure descended upon Earth as it descended into an apocalyptic war.
And...
The figure had reached the Western Pacific Ocean and was sinking, heading towards the Mariana Trench.
If Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth, then the Mariana Trench is the lowest point.
The darkness was boundless.
It is bottomless.
It was like an abyss, offering no sense of peace whatsoever.
In fact.
This unease stems not only from the deep sea, but also from the fact that a terrifying mythical monster is sealed within the depths of this earth.
That is the giant sea serpent that can encircle the human world, the legendary 'World Serpent', a monster from the ancient Asgard, which was personally sealed in the bottomless depths of the human world by All-Father Odin at the height of his power.
"I must say, Odin is truly shameless to seal such a dangerous thing here."
"But..."
"Fine, I need a treasure like this to help me take everything back!"
Chapter 147
The western Pacific Ocean was as if it were being boiled, or as if the seawater was being churned by a giant stick reaching to the sky, with the entire sea surface in complete turmoil.
Boom!!
In an instant, a huge sea serpent's head emerged, sweeping towards the distant island with a force that seemed to overturn the sea.
With a single descent, the World Serpent smashed the head of an island, turning a resort paradise into dust.
"Kill them!!"
"Turn everything in this world to ashes."
Relying on the power of the Mind Stone Scepter, Loki began to control this epic monster that had been sealed in the deep sea of Earth, and started to wreak havoc on this world.
Not long ago.
Loki arrived full of confidence, but ended up looking as pathetic as a stray dog, and fled in a panic.
There's always a way out.
The God of Deception, however, was incredibly clever. He found a different way: first, he reclaimed his rightful throne, and then he would slowly plot his next move.
Unexpectedly...
The Earth has suddenly undergone such a drastic change.
What a pleasant surprise!
I really hit the jackpot.
Loki thought to himself.
But...
His luck had run out.
Before the Jormungandr the World Serpent was spreading throughout the ocean, could even reach the shore, a vast beam of Stardust suddenly shot in from the distant horizon.
Like a shooting star from outer space, trailing a pale, dazzling light, it descended from the sky.
The sheer volume of energy was so immense that it was almost impossible to ignore.
Light is a trembling void.
Even the sudden threat of death was enough to Jormungand.
Su Chen has arrived.
Having just slain the Galactus and perfectly averted a crisis, he instantly returned from space.
If it were the old him, he might have saved himself some trouble and simply traveled through space to arrive.
Having forged a body of Energy Particle Body, Su Chen also gained an increasingly powerful ability to fly.
Boom!!
Like a comet, trailing behind it shimmering pale white particles, it plummeted straight down onto the giant snake with an exaggerated speed.
"Roar!~!"
Jormungand roared in fury, and with a single breath, a terrifying black aura instantly transformed into a horrifying fireball that filled most of the sky.
But the figure that fell from the sky tore through the sea of fire and slammed into the giant serpent.
Boom!!
Like a cataclysmic collision, or as if a real asteroid had struck, Jormungand, lifted from the sea, was instantly struck by a powerful blow.
The entire head collapsed and crumbled, blood gushing out, while the endless serpentine body that had emerged from the sea was forcefully submerged into the water.
This attack was truly terrifying.
Even the surrounding seawater was completely evaporated by the energy fluctuations of the bombardment, and the aftershocks in the distance caused the seawater in one area to churn and rise into the sky, forming curtains of water.
Like thousands of artillery shells continuously falling into the sea, the terrifying aftershocks caused the Western Pacific Ocean to erupt and churn in chaos.
"Not the Herald of Galactus?"
"Where did this beast come from?!"
Su Chen sensed that this beastly sea serpent was unusual.
Those vertical pupils were clearly filled with a confused Mind Stone fluctuation, obviously because a powerful force of will had completely seized their consciousness, turning them into a puppet monster that wreaked havoc.
"Too weak."
Su Chen, radiating a faint white light, hovered in the air, his arms crossed, floating in the vast sky. The Energy Particle Body made him appear like a deity, radiating divine light.
"Roar!!"
The fiercely aggressive Jormungand didn't fall at all. The seawater churned, and the terrifying giant serpent burst through the surface with a splash, opening its blood-red maw and snapping at the tiny figure in the air.
Only...
Under Su Chen's will.
Swish!!
Countless Space Cutting transformed into invisible blades that instantly appeared.
Pfft!!
A series of terrifying slashes relentlessly struck Jormungand's serpent, the sound of blood slicing through it crisp and clean. The terrifying Space Cutting was completely unimpeded, tearing the massive serpent to pieces.
A huge sea serpent's head was then shattered open.
Well...
With a final, deathly hiss, the once energetic sea serpent's remains ceased to move and sank into the seawater, sliding continuously downwards.
Damn it!!!
On a distant island, Loki, who had already hesitated and hadn't followed, suddenly changed his expression.
He never imagined that the sea serpent, which had been sealed away by All-Father Odin, would be killed so easily.
They were utterly powerless to resist.
Oh my god!!
This is because Jormungand's power has weakened after being sealed away for thousands of years.
Or perhaps that guy has completely transformed and become far too powerful.
He simply didn't dare to gamble.
Loki, God of Deception who was timid and cautious by nature, dared not show himself. He gritted his teeth and silently made his body disappear completely from this world.
But at this moment...
Following a faint fluctuation of Mind Stone, Su Chen's will had already captured his trace.
"... So it's you! I remember Asgard."
Su Chen's icy words echoed in Loki's ears.
With a look of panic and fear, Loki vanished without a trace.
"The day we meet again will be the day Asgard is destroyed."
Su Chen said coldly.
Soon.
Su Chen has already returned to his Yorktown City.
Amidst cheers of victory, this savior of the earth accepted the world's unbridled praise.
He even personally appeared in front of the media to announce that the Earth crisis had been completely resolved; victory belonged to him and to the Earth.
"Savior!!"
"The undisputed number one person on Earth!!"
"Supreme!!"
The praise came not only from the Mutants, but also from previously prejudiced humans.
Now.
The conflict among Mutants has also been put to rest.
A completely new chapter is beginning to be written.
Do you know what the arrival of Galactus taught me?
"The universe's resources are finite. This Galactus, Living Planet is, in a sense, accepted, because its existence maintains the balance of life and death in the entire universe."
"The Earth suffered devastating losses in this apocalyptic crisis, with irreversible damage to its population and even its ecological environment."
"It's unknown how many years it will take to fully recover."
"History has also taught me that when internal conflicts arise, the best way to deflect them is to attack externally. This is the beginning of Earth's plan to colonize the universe."
"The first battle..."
"It's Asgard!!"
