16. To the Dead (Part 1)

"kuang"

Gungnir and Frost Greatsword intersect for the 7th time.

The moment the Eternal Rune King passed by Tyrion, he raised his left hand and called out Thunderbolt. With the gesture of holding the lightning in his hand, he slammed fiercely on the black armor of the King of the Dead.

The dazzling light and shadow flickered, slowing down the pursuit of the king of the dead world.

Thor, who was out of breath, got a chance to breathe.

Already a cold death frost covered his armor.

On the other hand, the gloomy king on the opposite side, the latter has almost no signs of injury since the start of the fight.

This made Thor wonder.

The power of the runes of the World Tree and Odin's blood are superimposed, making the Rune King's destructive power amazing, and now it is blessed with eternal power.

It stands to reason that Thor has stabilized into the single universe.

And the outer gods who entered the stars are also at a level of strength.

Even if there is still a gap between the two sides, the gap should never be so big as it is now!

Thor felt like a child holding a sword. Facing an adult warrior skilled in martial arts, not only could he not hurt the opponent at all, but he would also be extremely embarrassed by the opponent's casual counterattack.

"Are you wondering?"

Tyrion, who was standing with a sword, did not rush to attack.

In the chilly disappearance and reshaping of the ice-skull visor that covered his face, he said in a husky voice:

"You're wondering why you can't hurt me at all, even in the single universe?"

"Why?"

Thor, leaning on Gungnir wrapped in lightning, asked:

"Is this some kind of ghost trick belonging to the Outer God?"

"No! It's not."

Tyrion looked at the unyielding challenger in front of him, and he explained calmly:

"It's just because you are false things, fake powerhouses shaped in the dream of all things. No matter how gorgeous the soap bubbles in the illusion are, once exposed to the sun, they will return to nothingness."

"Don't you realize that when facing me, your strength is weakening every minute?"

Thor didn't answer.

He remembered Merlin's advice to him and Batman before the war.

Merlin seemed to say the same thing.

"Where's Merlin?"

Thor raised the spear and held it with both hands, his thunder power was flying on the spear, exuding arcs of light entangled like spider webs.

He asked:

"Will he be like us?"

"No, he won't."

Tyrion glanced back at the direction of the cosmic furnace. He was like a robot who could answer questions. In the swaying breath of the dead world, he said:

"He is different from you, he is real! He holds one of the few truths in this illusory dream."

"He himself understands this, so he chose to face Cyber ​​Hawk alone... He made a sacrifice, which can be called a great dedication."

The king of the dead world raised his long sword, and in the cold wind, he said:

"I have answered your doubts, and now I shall receive my reward, god of thunder."

Tyrion's voice paused, and his figure flashed into Thor's eyes like a ghost, pierced by the sharp sword in his hand, and his voice became colder and dead silent as he tore apart the flesh and blood of the Rune King.

"I want..."

"Your soul!"

The shadow of death shrouded Thor's will in an instant, and the strong premonition that he would die in the next second made Rune King's hair stand on end, and all the power in his body boiled at this moment.

The time manipulation given by eternity allows him to escape into time in times of crisis.

Dangerously dodged this mortal sword.

But the danger is not over yet.

The sword piercing the air did not surprise the king of the dead world. The boundary between truth and falsehood was not so clear when the universe collapsed.

It is true that the Rune King's power is weakening, but it is not so easy to kill him before the power falls below a certain limit.

His wrist flipped, and the piercing blade returned in a strange posture, and Tyrion's eyes also lit up with a faint blue light, just like Merlin's posture when he activated the death spell.

The power to see through life and death is Tyrion's interpretation of death, and it will only be easier for him to use this ability to cut through life and death.

He saw it.

The lines emerging from Rune King's body, even under the protection of time, the lines of death are still clearly visible.

Chopped!

The blade whizzed down, and the shadow of death shrouded Thor again, but before the sharp blade joined him, the sound of howling and breaking wind sounded from the other side of the battlefield divided by the fog of death.

The flying black scythe rolled into a ring in the air, and under the control of Lady Death, the weapon flew past Tyrion's neck, then changed direction while whistling, trying to make a second surprise attack.

"clang"

The long sword in the hands of the king of the dead gave up pursuing Sotor and turned to resist the scythe of death.

"It's that..."

Death grabbed back her weapon, and the aura of light and darkness appeared behind her. God and the giant beast also broke the blockade and joined the battlefield.

3 to 1!

Death said in a cold tone:

"An interpretation of death that does not belong to this world, invaders! The death of these stars is pure and powerful, and does not need your existence! Get out of my world!"

"Yeah?"

Faced with this scolding, the king of the dead world didn't care about the three cosmic gods in front of him, and he replied in a cold tone:

"But you don't seem to be as powerful as you claim to be."

"Death, you have also encountered setbacks, but I am invincible!"

"boom"

The strange breath of death erupted behind Thor, and the Rune King did not participate in it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of death, he quickly rushed into the broken fog of death.

He had to tell the others what he had learned from Tyrion.

Outer Gods are stalling for time!

Since they came to this side of the stars, the strength of the people here has been rapidly weakening, and they must gather all their strength to defeat this Outer God before they still have the strength to fight.

"kuang"

On the battlefield divided by fog, Doom, holding the Infinity Gauntlet, appeared from the blue light.

The purple flame of power burned on his arm, and the Supreme Mage who came suddenly slammed into the death lord who attacked Shazam in the posture of a tiger pounced on a rabbit.

The tyrant lady under Tyrion's command was caught off guard and fell to the ground by this punch.

She turned around and tried to fight back.

Shazam, who had been pierced through his body, jumped up from behind and hugged the perfect big sister in an ambiguous posture. In the midst of the jump of divine power and lightning, Doom raised his fist again.

An icy light glowed on the Infinity Gauntlet, tearing the Deathlord's body apart in one blow.

Under the power of this universe, Tyrion's powerful death lord let out a sigh, turned into a mist, and quietly exited.

Doom's breathing was also a little short.

His strength was also declining. He looked at Shazam, who was clutching his heart and pale, and said:

"Can you still fight?"

"able!"

Shazam gritted his teeth and responded.

"Then come with me, we must break this divided situation!"

The Supreme Mage took Shazam to the fog of death on the other side. He glanced at the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand, and said to Shazam:

"Our strength is weakening, and delaying time will be of great disadvantage to us. But the power of the weapon is still there. I use it to open the fog. You follow me. If I can't hold on, I will replace you!"

"Then give it to me now."

Shazam glanced at the thick gray mist, he opened his hand covering his chest, Doom immediately saw the sword marks piercing Shazam's body, black power was wrapping the wound, preventing the wound from healing.

Shazam whispered:

"I was stabbed by the woman with hoofs. I feel that I can't last long. Give me the gloves. Don't waste any more strength. I will break through the maze. Save your strength to fight."

After finishing speaking, he reached out to take the Infinity Gauntlet. Under Dum's complex gaze, Shazam took a deep breath, and mobilized all the divine power in his body, and the Infinity Gauntlet shone brightly.

He swung his fist and hammered on the gray mist, opening a crack in the breathtaking death mist.

"Walk!"

Shazam yelled, and the painting rushed to the battlefield ahead, where Tony was being beaten up by a death lord who approved heavy armor and held a warhammer.

On the other side, Rune King is also trying his best to win over the divided comrades.

He was lucky. After breaking through the fog of death, the first person he encountered was Superman.

Clark has just defeated the death lord Luminas, and his strength is also weakening, but he can still support.

The two groups of people operated at the same time, and after a few minutes, they converged in the starry sky from the periphery of the fog to the core.

Unfortunately, in the mist, more than 20 heroes died, and their bones were all swallowed up by the fog of death.

Shazam, who was holding the Infinity Gauntlet, was panting. The young man's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. In the case of being seriously injured, he pierced through the fog one after another, making him almost exhausted.

"They are ahead!"

Thor, holding the gun of eternity, shouted loudly to the people who were struggling behind him:

"We must join that battle! Even if we can only become cannon fodder for that battle, we don't hesitate! Everyone, look back, our world has come to the brink of disintegration..."

The light of runes and lightning floated up and down Thor's body, and his voice became deeper and deeper, and he said:

"Whether it is destruction or rebirth from the ashes, it is between our thoughts!"

"Fight, brothers."

Holding the shield in his hand, Steve wiped the blood stains on his face, he raised the round shield, and he was the first to stride forward amidst the surge of energy in his body.

The captain looked at the endlessly shining stars in front of him, and said:

"Bury our bones here, use our lives, for our family and the world, in exchange for a bright future... They will never try to break us!"

The captain raised his shield and was about to attack the thick fog blocking the way in front of him, but was stopped by the people behind him.

"I come!"

Shazam stood up straight with his last strength.

The battle clothes on his chest were covered with blood, the astonishing black energy was tearing the wounds, like tarsal poison, but the young man's eyes were extremely bright.

Like an arc of light in darkness, it is the light of the right path.

"Follow me!"

Shazam staggered a little, but no one tried to stop him.

Everyone came here with the determination to die. This is a sacrifice for the right thing. Who can deprive this young man of the right to walk into greatness?

"boom"

Shazam used the Infinity Gauntlet to tear through the fog of death, piercing through the passage for the heroes behind him.

He tried his best to move forward like a thunderbolt.

Amidst the roaring roar, the young man poured his last strength into the Infinity Gauntlet. While waving the platinum-gold divine power, he roared and smashed into the invisible fog in front of him.

The light of the Infinity Gauntlet is like a torn spear, opening a path of hope for the heroes ahead.

"boom"

Shazam sat down in the compressed blue starry sky. He threw the Infinity Gauntlet to Doom, who took it in his hand, bowed to Shazam, and then turned around and continued to open the way without wasting a minute.

"Leave me alone."

Tony wanted to help Shazam up, but Shazam stopped him.

The pale young man looked at Iron Man, he showed a weak smile, and he said to Tony:

"I can't go any further, go. Leave me here."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Tony gritted his teeth and picked up Shazam. He carried the young man on his back and followed the heroes. He said to Shazam:

"We came here together, and we have to go back together! Even if I carry you, I will carry you back!"

"Don't be stupid, I don't want to be a burden to you."

Shazam put his hands in Tony's.

He said to Iron Man:

"I've fought the battle I had to fight, I've walked the path I had to walk, I don't need to go any further, this is where I end..."

"Fight for me, Tony."

"Call my name! Call it! You too have a warm heart, you also have a pure heart, you will be my successor, you will be me."

"You too will be that light, Tony, be the light of salvation!"

Shazam yells at Tony:

"Hurry up! Do you still want me to beg you?"

Iron Man looked at Shazam with a determined face, and then at the fog of death that closed behind him. He took a deep breath, placed Shazam in the compressed starry sky, and half-kneeled in front of Shazam.

The fingers of the two were held together. Under Shazam's gaze, Tony whispered:

"Then...as you wish, my friend, I will fight to the end."

"Shazam!!!"

The platinum-gold divine power turned into magic lightning, jumped up from Shazam, followed the interlaced fingers of the two, and covered Iron Man's body.

When the divine power is added to the body, the super mark suit is also shaped into a more powerful posture.

Shazam, who had lost his divine power, quickly turned back into a young man. He lay in the starry sky, waving his hands to Tony and the crowd. Behind him, the tumbling fog roared.

"We must win!!!"

Billy Batson's shout echoed among the stars. He was engulfed in the fog of death, as if he had been sent into the sea, lifeless.

"boom"

The always indifferent God Lord Doom threw the Infinity Gauntlet into the fog in front of him as if venting his distress, and he shouted angrily:

"Y'all heard it... bros."

"A great soul demands that we must win! We must win! We must fight!"

"To the dead..."

Doom's eyes under the mask burst into a mesmerizing light, and he raised his right hand like a banner, shouting:

"keep going!"
