14. The God of Story's First Stroke (Part 1)

Watching the Crown Assassin Hassan's spirit foundation dissipate as flying white feathers.

Whether it's Thanos the experiencer or Dum the bystander, it's like experiencing a dream.

In this completely destroyed and completely smoothed ruins, the last white feather swirled in the silent wind and fell on the ground in front of Thanos' eyes.

It was submerged in the dust the moment it hit the ground.

As if it had never been there.

But it is real, just like the previous dream is also real.

Thanos didn't feel any discomfort.

He stood up, completely ignoring Doom, and ran his left hand over his neck, where there was no real scar.

The Mad Titan's self-healing ability is very powerful. After being hit by a Star Destroyer directly, the wounds on his body healed in just a few minutes.

Those burnt skins continued to fall from Thanos's body along with Thanos' activities, like crumbs of dust.

"What the hell did he do?"

he asked.

Not Doom, of course, but Death.

For this question, Ms. Death did not answer immediately. After a few seconds of silence, Death's cold voice could hardly be heard.

"That Heroic Spirit, at the price of his own demise, forcibly branded you with death... When I watch you, you will not die, Thanos, I promised you, but now..."

"I know you won't change your actions, so go ahead, be careful."

Death reminds:

"Even with my attention, you are no longer immortal."

"Yeah?"

There is not much expression on Thanos' broad face, it seems that this is not bad news.

He stretched out his hand and patted his arm, peeling off the burnt skin. As he waved his right hand, the power of space gathered to block all kinds of magical and technological weapons fired by Doom from his body.

The Conqueror looked at Doom, to be precise, he looked at the several green runes wrapped around Doom's arms, which were the power of the Time Stone.

He could sense that Doom was trying to shift his timeline to allow Thanos to grow old and weak.

But under the gaze of death, this kind of attack is doomed to be ineffective.

"Your effort is really cute...but it's a bit far behind what you did just now."

Thanos glanced at Doom who was still trying to attack.

He reached out and took off the armor that had melted and stuck to his skin, and in the terrible pain of blood spilling and flesh peeling off, he threw it aside.

The tall Titan was hit repeatedly after entering the earth, first with the Star Destroyer, and then with Hassan's death mark.

This fully proves what kind of bizarre ghost place Thanos is going to face this time.

He was hindered, terribly hindered, but he was not afraid.

Not only was there no fear, there was even a burning light in those eyes, like burning sparks.

Judging from the information collected so far, what he saw with his own eyes, and the information he experienced, there is no doubt that there is a power in this world that can kill him.

This is dangerous, and it means that even Thanos, who has previously been undefeated in the long war, may lose.

Even...death.

But that's okay too, isn't it?

Ah, the unremarkable conquest is finally interesting.

Thanos moved his arms, and the muscles on his bare chest stretched out. Those scars engraved on the skin and flesh and blood, the criss-crossed scars represented the battles he had experienced.

Scars, that's a man's medal.

Scars, that is the glory of a warrior.

"boom"

With Dum's hands interlaced, another triangular cone electromagnetic gun made by an energy cube roared and smashed at Thanos in front of him.

"click"

The 10 times the speed of sound energy cube projectile shattered the space barrier, and was precisely held by the closed fingers of the infinite glove one second before the explosion.

"boom"

Just like the blow of the heavenly father exploded on the sea hundreds of kilometers away from London, and the power of the space gem, it was like superimposing a 100% dodge attack buff on Thanos.

As long as the mad titan reacted, he couldn't be hurt at all.

"boom"

The rock under Thanos' feet shattered, and the terrifying power bursting out from his body pushed him like a charging warrior.

With red eyes, he rushed to the god Doom, who did not dodge or evade, and let Thanos' heavy punches fall on his body.

But the moment the two came into contact, the power of time also began to flow.

As if the movie was played backwards, the fist that was supposed to tear apart Dum's body and Thanos' body quickly jumped back to the place where Thanos stood before in a very backwards posture.

"interesting..."

Thanos tilted his head. He had gone through a complete time regression just now, but he still retained his memory.

He looked at Doom who was waiting in battle. With the Stone of Time in effect, Doom, like him, was impossible to be hurt.

"Nice usage, but unfortunately, you'll get tired and I won't. Time means nothing to me, Doom..."

"Before things get out of hand, give me the rough stone in your hand!"

—————

In an abandoned block near the outskirts of North London, Rocky and Superstar are searching for reality gems in the empty rooms of an unfinished building.

They can track the energy traces of the Stone of Reality with special instruments. As long as they follow the direction pointed by the instrument, just like bees looking for nectar, they can always find the location of the Stone of Reality.

But compared to the work at hand, whether it is Rocky or a superstar, there is a common problem in their minds at this time.

"What the hell was that just now?"

Rocky kicked away all kinds of things that the homeless left in the unfinished building. She turned her head and looked at the superstars behind her. She asked:

"You saw it too, didn't you?"

"That silver beam of light that fell from the sky shattered most of the city, and it was still the damage caused on the basis of shattering the mirror image of the dimension... Its original power must be able to tear apart the stars, just like the Rainbow Bridge of the Asgardians. Same."

"Should be some kind of Star Wars weapon."

While paying attention to the energy detector in his hand, the supergiant replied speculatively:

"It must be the cunning earthlings who arranged the weapons in advance, just to prevent our invasion... There is no news from the Chitauri, pessimistically, those pathetic bastards may have become space junk gone."

"Yeah, this invasion really didn't go well."

Loki said casually that she didn't know what that silver light was, but it didn't prevent her from being aware of the danger of the earth again.

Of course, this cannot be said.

Following the words of the superstar, she continued:

"Speaking of garbage, don't you think we're just looking for a needle in a huge garbage haystack right now?"

The Asgardian girl looked at the surrounding environment with a little distaste. The nearby residents should regard this place as a garbage dump.

In the empty building, all kinds of garbage are piled up.

From small mineral water bottles to abandoned and rusty cars, it was really difficult for them. And, how did this abandoned car be sent to such a location with a height of more than ten floors?

"Don't make noise."

The superstar with scars on his face scolded without looking back:

"Don't bother me, I'm about to find the source of that energy, it's here, somewhere in this building, and it's very close to us."

"Genius, look at the ground!"

Loki suddenly noticed something.

She reached out and interrupted the superstar's detection of energy signals. She pointed to the ground and said to the last son of Thanos:

"Look! There's a wind...not blowing in from the outside, it's blowing out from the inside."

"Follow it!"

Loki rushed over immediately, and moved in the opposite direction in the direction of the wind blowing up the debris belt.

The superstar originally had a powerful mental ability and could easily search for such buildings, but now due to the influence of the Reality Stone, her mental power is completely useless.

But it doesn't matter, relying on Loki's keenness, they will be able to find that thing soon.

"Do you think Thanos can win?"

While staring at the strange wind climbing the stairs, Loki turned around and asked:

"If you are hit head-on by such an attack, you will be injured even if you have the Infinity Gauntlet? After all, there are only three gems on the gauntlet, and none of them are particularly aggressive."

"I have no idea."

The superstar will only pay attention to the location of the Reality Gem, so he won't be in the mood to answer Loki's question.

She said casually:

"Has Master Thanos failed before? It's the same this time. He will win, and he will lead us all the way to victory. We have never doubted...I found it!"

"Look, it's just ahead!"

Superstar's tone became excited in vain, and she pointed to a dark and empty room ahead, which was the source of the strong wind in the building.

In the seemingly normal shadows, there is a hole where the invisible dimension has been broken, and gusts of cold wind are blowing out of the hole.

That's not the wind from this world, no wonder it always smells weird, with a sense of desolation and desolation.

Behind the superstar, Loki looked at the void invisible to the naked eye in front of her. A cold light flashed in her squinted eyes, but it was fleeting.

She cleared her throat and said to the superstar:

"It seems that we were lucky. We found it. It's on the other side of the void, but no one knows the environment there. So, should you go there first? Or should I go first?"

When the superstar heard what Loki said, a gloomy light flashed in her eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she said:

"Why not together? It can accommodate two people to pass together, don't play tricks, Loki."

"All right."

Loki also shrugged, but she didn't care much.

The rune wizard reached out to bless himself and the superstar with multiple magic shields, and then the two of them crossed the invisible void together.

In the friction of the slightly uncomfortable dimensional rift, the two walked through a dark and twisted passage.

After nearly half a minute, they came to a temple located deep underground in an unknown land.

"Asgardian style!"

Loki raised the staff and let the light of the illumination technique shine on the top of the staff, as if holding a lamp. In the dimly lit darkness, she looked at the two sides of the ancient temple, which had been severely weathered. sculpture.

Each of those sculptures is more than 20 meters high. From the shape of the sculptures, it can be easily judged that those sculptures were carved based on the mighty and majestic Asgard soldiers.

This should indeed be the seal of the Reality Gem.

It was built by Loki's theoretical grandfather, Odin's father, Boul the Great, to seal the Reality Stone.

"There it is! I see it!"

The supergiant easily captured the information he needed in the dark. On the last platform of the several revolving stairs below, there was a pulsating light, a dark red light, like a shining candle.

And beneath that light there were Asgardian talismans dancing, twinkling.

That was a sign that the seal was about to dissipate. The power of the confluence of the heaven and the sphere distorted the dimension, and also destroyed the integrity of the seal, and even opened a temporary passage between this place and the earth.

It is foreseeable that as long as the phenomenon of the convergence of the celestial spheres ends, the channel will be closed again, and it will be almost impossible to find the Stone of Reality at that time.

After all, no one knows where this ghostly place is among the stars.

"Snapped"

The superstar took out a special container from his mechanical arm, which was like a biological storage tank.

According to Thanos' news, the Reality Stone is quite a special piece of all gems, and it does not exist in a physical state.

When it was still held by the dark elves, it was called the "ether particle".

It is a special form between matter and energy.

It must be contained in a special container.

The superstar rushed to the sealed place in quick flashes and jumps, while Loki stayed at the entrance of the cave, as if he was watching the wind.

A few minutes later, the son of Thanos returned to the hole where the celestial and spheres converged, carrying a can of contained dark red liquid-like energy. She pouted at Loki, indicating that the two could leave.

Rocky shrugged, and made a ladylike "please" gesture to the superstar.

The superstar didn't take it seriously, and walked towards the void with the contained reality gem, but the second she passed Loki's body, the cold light in Loki's eyes soared.

A sharp dagger jumped out of Rocky's fingers, with a gloomy chill, it stabbed fiercely at the superstar's back.

"clang"

The metal arm was like a prophet, firmly grasping the dagger stabbed by Loki. At the moment of contact, the superstar's metal fingers were frozen.

But the fatal blow was blocked.

The superstar stared at Loki, a "Sure enough, guessed it" look across her blue, metallic face, and Loki looked into her eyes.

She shrugged, looking indifferent.

The beautiful Asgardian girl snorted. She played with the dagger frozen in her hand, and said:

"We got along very happily before, your character is not like a bad person at all, I don't want to kill you..."

"Unfortunately, a mission is a mission."

"Kill you, and I will be free!"

Loki licked her lips, a murderous look flashed in her eyes, and she said:

"So, for my freedom, please, die!"
