Chapter 1049: Chapter 814 Outcome Under the Background Board_2
Thanos spoke with a tone that seemed carefree but carried a hint of melancholia, and then suddenly a resolute declaration emerged:
ââŠBut if you still refuse to cooperate, donât blame me! The universe is teetering on the brink of annihilation, and I must collect the Infinity Gems to stop itâall of it!â
The sheer determination in his words even startled Tao Yu.
Without a doubt, Thanos had reached the level of a Saintly Position, but the critical point was the firmness of his Sacred Intent, surpassing the actual display of his own powers!
In terms of sheer willpower, he exceeded Odin, who often needed Odinâs Sleep to control his overwhelming strength.
It was only that his raw strength, in plain form, couldnât compete with Odin.
Yet now, having obtained the Soul Gem, Thanos had transformed into a Soul Body resembling a ghostly knight before their eyes.
Without the Kaji from the Destroyer, Odin might find it difficult to handle such an adversary.
âHowever, unfortunately for you, the Destroyer Armor hasnât disappeared; it has merely transferred to meâŠâ
Tao Yuâs eyes glimmered with a hint of amusement, and his previous image of a flowing white robe began to morph, as the Destroyer Armor enshrouded his body!
Not only that, but Tao Yu now wore an elegant metallic gauntlet on his right hand, seamlessly integrating with the reshaped Destroyer Armor.
The four Infinity Gems that Tao Yu had stripped earlier were securely embedded in the gauntletâs four grooves.
Beyond that, a blood-red spear was firmly gripped by the gauntlet.
In his other hand, he held Thunder Godâs Hammer!
The hammer collided with the spear, unleashing an array of lightning surges that spread wildly, merging with the chaotic currents of water and illuminating the colossal dragon towering overhead. The intense flashes seemed to dye the entire sky into daylight.
âWhat a coincidence⊠I feel the same way.â
ââ
Thanos stared blankly at Tao Yuâs Infinity Gauntlet, eyeing the four embedded Infinity Gems.
The aura of destruction emanating from Tao Yu was suffocating, along with the peril brought by the Spear of Longinus.
Ironically, the seemingly least significant thing on Tao Yu turned out to be the famed Thunder Godâs Hammer!
What was going on?
Wasnât it supposed to only hold the Power Stone?
Why did the Mind Stone, along with the two gems from the Nine Realms, also end up in his possession!?
âWas it you who crushed the Zirita people? Are the Asgardians here this time because of you?â
Thanos finally pieced it all together, understanding why the Asgardians had sought out the Zirita people for answers. They were only maneuvered by Tao Yu to pressure him, driving him to retrieve the Soul Gem.
In Tao Yuâs eyes, Thanos and the one tasked with procuring the Soul Gem were nothing more than tools!
âDonât think that possessing four Infinity Gems will allow you to get away with anything!â
Thanos roared furiously, and his Soul Body accelerated in a flash. Unbounded by physical mass, he effortlessly reached maximum velocity, slicing toward Tao Yu with a blade.
As the attack neared Tao Yu, it instantly transformed from hollow to realâa blade exploding with a surge of extreme gravity, pulling the surrounding tidal waves into a vortex that boiled into plasma around the two combatants.
But this terrifying strike came to an abrupt halt right in front of Tao Yu, blocked firmly by a flashing force field!
With the augmentation from the four embedded Gems, the strength of Tao Yuâs AT Field escalated exponentially in this World.
With mere reliance on the AT Field, he effortlessly deflected Thanosâ full-powered assault!
The powerful will strapped to Thanosâ blade seemed infused with all his hopes, contained in a resolute and desperate strike.
The blade collided with the AT Field, creating a dazzling interaction at the point of impact.
Their intentions clashed so intensely that they manifested physically, distorting the surrounding space!
âImpressive. If I didnât have the Gems, relying solely on the AT Field wouldnât be enough to block you.â
Tao Yu couldnât help but marvel at Thanosâ tremendous combat prowess.
Despite being weaker overall when compared to Odin, Thanos had managed to accomplish significant feats within his original timeline. His abilities were undoubtedly remarkableâtruly a Chosen Son!
Had he acquired multiple Gems first, the situation would have become genuinely troublesome!
âUnfortunately for you, I got here first.â
The Spear of Longinus bypassed Thanosâ Soul Body, piercing directly into his form.
The spearâs trait of shattering existential ranks caused Thanos to release an agonized moan as it forcefully disrupted his connection with the Soul Gem.
Even so, the Infinity Gems remained formidable. In the current world, their influence was incredibly profound. Despite the Spear of Longinus penetrating him, Thanos, through sheer willpower, held onto his current form, resisting separation.
But at that moment, dark tendrils and chaotic energy surged from the shaft of the spear, pouring into him, causing Thanosâ expression to shift dramatically.
This was precisely why he sought to collect the Infinity Gems!
âYou lowly servant of the Abyss! Youâve betrayed our world!â
Thanosâ enraged voice triggered a strange familiarity in Tao Yuâs memory.
Soon enough, he recalledâwasnât this exactly what Dormammu had shouted at him before?
Seriously, who was calling who the villain here?
Thanos, realizing Tao Yuâs power of corruption, seemed to grow even more frenzied.
His already immense determination appeared to burst further, exerting a faint sense of liberation from confinement.
But moments later, as the four Gems embedded in Tao Yuâs Infinity Gauntlet simultaneously pulsed brilliantlyâ
The enraged Thanos involuntarily released another cry of agony.
The aura surrounding him completely collapsed.
