2128 A Siege Turns Into a Scuffle, the BGM Plays Again
Big Dipper, who was standing at the very front, raised his hands and took out a huge shield to block in front of him.
At the same time, he used Vibration to offset the high-energy shock wave that surged up the shaft.
In just a few seconds, the strongest shock wave swept past and continued upward.
Knight warned, “Get ready to move. Five seconds from now. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go.”
As soon as Knight said that, Big Dipper put away the shield and took out his katana again. He charged out of the cave and headed straight for the passage at the top.
The others immediately followed even though the central shaft was still filled with orange-red high-energy particles.
Without any special modifications, this explosion was only at its strongest in the first few seconds.
After the shock wave passed, countless particles poured into various side hallways. The temperature, which had been several thousand degrees Celsius, quickly dropped to below 2,000 degrees.
Their suits could withstand this temperature for a short period of time, and there wouldn’t be any problems with their performance.
Big Dipper was ample proof.
The silver katana swiftly slashed four times at the warped door of the passage, leaving meter-long cuts. Big Dipper then turned sideways and hit the door with his shoulder.
The sound of twisting metal made one’s teeth ache. Big Dipper disappeared as a large hole opened up in the door.
Thor followed without hesitation, followed by Wade.
It wasn’t until Knight spoke that Selina entered, followed by Knight and Skye in the rear.
Dozens of meters later, the passage opened into the hall which Thanos was in. It was basically quiet here, unlike the chaos down below.
If it wasn’t for Big Dipper’s violent slashes, the door would’ve only changed shape; the high-energy particles basically didn’t reach this place.
At that moment, Thanos stood up from his throne. He slowly put on his helmet and picked up the double-headed blade that Luke was very familiar with. “You’ve given me no choice…”
Slowly walking down the steps from the throne, he continued, “Uncurbed expansion will only bring ruin. I just want this universe to function more smoothly, and I do my best to reduce its burden by half. This has nothing to do with a personal grudge…”
Glancing at the team, Thanos shook his head and said, “But you don’t understand. You even tried to sneak up on me, but you don’t know that this effort is meaningless.”
Big Dipper suddenly said coldly, “Is the Reality Stone fun to play with?”
Astonishment appeared on Thanos’s purple face.
Two audio speakers suddenly appeared on Big Dipper’s shoulders. Amidst the distant tolling of a bell, that undefeatable BGM rang out again. “The supreme edict, supreme lonely souls, all ghosts, four lives with grace…”
At the same time, Big Dipper suddenly exploded with a light golden light.
The light first wrapped around Big Dipper like an egg before quickly expanding.
The light golden light wasn’t dazzling, but it quickly enveloped everyone in the team and didn’t stop until it reached a 100-meter radius.
Only then did the team realize that the area enveloped by the faint golden light seemed slightly different.
A few people suddenly appeared not far away from Thanos.
Ebony Maw’s Squidward face was very eye-catching, and the others were the last three superpowered beings on the alien team.
When the fighter planes they were on had reached a certain altitude, Thanos’s warship had directly thrown out a tractor beam to pull them back.
Luke and the others had passed through the two protective shields first, then took a detour through a maintenance passage. In the end, they still had to throw out the self-destruct mechanism. Naturally, their progress couldn’t compare with the other party’s express speed.
Just like that, the expected 5v1 turned into a 6v5.
It was a good thing that Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight had to direct the troops outside, or it would be a 6v7.
At that time, it would be hard to say who was besieging whom.
However, Luke’s two clones and Thor weren’t scared.
In their hearts, the only real problem was Thanos; the rest was just cannon fodder.
Skye was deliberately left in the rear as a trump card.
Selina and Gold Nugget were already howling in their hearts, indicating that their sandbag-sized fists were already hungry.
Wade, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything at all. He simply drooled as he looked at the four super ‘money bags’ in front of him with dollar signs in his eyes.
These four new guys were all on the bounty blacklist which Bobo had specially created for him. The smallest one was already worth ten million dollars (100 credit points).
What a bigshot. I have to cut him up a few more times later – even better if I kill him directly. That was what a certain money-grubber was thinking.
Thanos was a little surprised when Luke used his telekinesis field to break through the ‘real’ scene simulated by the Reality Stone, but didn’t think much of it.
The Reality Stone was indeed very strong, but it was impossible to use it to turn Luke and the others into weak chickens who couldn’t resist.
Thor had divine power to protect him, and the suits which the others wore had a special energy field.
If Thanos wanted to use the Reality Stone to change them, it would have to first break through these defenses in order to make them fall into a trap unknowingly.
With a thought, the Reality Stone on the Infinity Glove flashed red, and the originally broken illusion completely disappeared.
As a galactic tyrant, he had the absolute advantage; there was no need to keep up this illusion.
That would be too humiliating.
Thanos stared at Big Dipper. “Your ability is very interesting. Who did you learn it from?”
In fact, he was slightly more vigilant.
The telekinesis field released by Big Dipper had the vague aura of divine power, and divine power which could easily break through an illusion created by the Reality Stone couldn’t be trash.
Big Dipper: “Probably… a god?”
Before he even said “god,” his figure flashed and he appeared in front of the alien team members.
Big Dipper had instantly moved faster than the speed of sound, but strangely, there was no sonic boom.
He even left behind an afterimage, but the silver light from one katana had already flashed past the three alien team members.
The alien team was a little slow to react, and their expressions changed in shock. They subconsciously wanted to retreat to avoid this terrifying monster who had killed a large number of their teammates.
But something even more horrifying happened — they didn’t move at all.
Ebony Maw reacted quickly and raised his hands to send Big Dipper flying.
An ax glowing with lightning was already spinning toward him. Frightened, he hurriedly stopped attacking Big Dipper and quickly retreated to avoid the fierce attack.
Thanos frowned and raised his right hand, which had the Infinity Glove on it, and aimed at Big Dipper, who was charging at him.
The Power Stone on the glove flashed, and a bright purple light beam as thick as a bucket shot out.
Big Dipper didn’t retreat at all. He swung the blades in both hands and slashed at the purple light beam.
The silver light of his katanas, mixed with a faint golden light, collided fiercely with the energy of the purple light beam, before they canceled each other out.
This was a clash between the Power Stone and katanas buffed with credit points. Both parties were evenly matched.
