2139 Selina Intercepts Death
Luke reacted quickly. His right arm immediately twisted and lashed out like a giant python, not giving Thanos a chance to lock him down.
In a close-range battle like this, it was too dangerous to be locked down.
Although he had a lot of life-saving abilities, he didn’t want to give Thanos a chance.
He had a trump card, but Thanos might also have one.
!!But Thanos was even faster.
There was a fierce glint in his narrowed eyes. With a thought, a clasp on the Infinity Glove came undone. The fingers of his left hand moved, and the Power Stone fell into his left palm.
The Stone’s boundless energy surged into his body. Thanos grunted, but he clenched his left fist tightly and punched Luke in the back.
Purple flames enveloped Thanos and Luke at the same time, and a violent energy shock wave exploded from the contact between their bodies, sending them both flying.
Luke instantly understood everything, and cursed this tyrant for being so cunning, but couldn’t avoid being sent flying.
Under the boundless energy from the Power Stone, the Iron Fist armor shattered and could no longer protect him.
The purple flames continued to enter his body and wreak havoc.
If the purple light beam from the Stone in the Infinity Glove made Luke feel like he was eating tasty spicy noodles, he now felt like a fat snowflake that had fallen into a hot pot — his entire body was about to turn spicy.
However, his stack of physical abilities started to demonstrate miraculous effects again.
His Taffy ability got rid of most of the pain, the Evolution ability quickly expelled the violent energy from his body, and his healing ability constantly repaired his heavily injured body.
The only thing that couldn’t return to its original state was the Iron Fist armor.
As Thanos had guessed, after suffering a violent attack that exceeded his limits, all the energy which Luke possessed was used to control and repair his body, and he couldn’t use it to form armor to protect himself for the time being.
While Luke had been severely injured, Thanos wasn’t any better.
He also lost control of his body for a short period of time after the Power Stone went berserk.
However, he immediately used the Infinity Glove to control and remove part of the energy that had surged into his body, giving him some time to catch his breath. He then made use of the opportunity to place the Power Stone in his left hand back into the glove.
The matching divine artifact naturally drew the Power Stone back into its spot, and the energy rampage ended.
Thanos raised his head slightly and looked at Luke, who was retreating in the opposite direction. With a thought, he activated the Reality Stone in his right hand.
The ground swelled up and enveloped him.
Dirt and weeds flew everywhere as Thanos disappeared into the ground.
Luke, who was gradually recovering, had a feeling. “Keep an eye on him.”
Of course, he was talking to Selina. He believed that she had long been waiting for an opportunity.
As soon as he said that, Luke activated his Telekinesis and forced his body to land, before he tapped his foot on the ground.
There was a loud rumble, and a huge hole appeared in the ground. He quickly headed right – Selina let him know that was where Thanos was.
On the virtual screen, the big red dot representing Thanos was swiftly moving away.
Two seconds later, there was a loud bang, and the ground shook and cracked.
Thanos’s bulk was blown out of the ground, along with Selina, who had exited stealth mode and was wrapped in purple flames.
Just as Thanos used the Reality Stone to sneak around underground, Selina caught up to him.
In his weakened state, he had no choice but to use the power of the Stone. In the end, both of them were blasted out of the ground.
After obtaining the Evolution ability, Selina tenaciously resisted the purple flames, and even drooled.
As the owner of the original ability and a glutton, she was even more deeply moved by this ‘spicy’ energy.
Of course, the power of food just made her tighten her grip on Thanos’s arms as she tried to stop him from using the Power Stone again.
But in the end, she wasn’t as strong as Thanos.
The veins on Thanos’s forehead bulged as his left hand slowly inched toward the Power Stone in his glove.
Luke, who was approaching quickly, felt a strong sense of impending doom, and his heart jumped.
Thanos had a fierce expression on his face, but all of his attention was on Luke.
At this point, Thanos already felt that it was impossible for him to escape disaster.
Selina had pulled him back at a critical moment, cutting off his last and best chance at survival.
Luke would soon return to the peak of health thanks to his cheat-like recovery ability, while it would take more than a few days for Thanos’s injuries to heal.
He was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Not only did he have to face Selina, who specialized in ambushes, he also had to face the superheroes on Earth who would be arriving soon, as well as their allied forces.
The right time had lapsed and he had lost the terrain advantage, while Luke still had backup; it was hard for Thanos to find a chance to win.
But… he was Thanos, the tyrant who had slaughtered his way through the universe.
If he was doomed to fail, he would die in glory — at the same time, he would take with him the enemy who had forced him into this desperate situation. That would be even more perfect.
Nobody could kill him. The only person who could kill him was himself.
The unrestrained attack from the Power Stone just now confirmed that even Luke couldn’t withstand this violent energy.
This time, Thanos wouldn’t let go of Luke and the Power Stone. He wanted to see Luke turn to dust with him.
For the sake of watching Luke die first with his own eyes, Thanos would further activate the Power Stone.
Luke was an enemy, and so was Earth.
Since he would be defeated here, Earth should be buried with him! Thinking that, the impatience, anger, humiliation and unwillingness in Thanos’s heart faded, leaving behind an indifferent feeling about his impending death.
From the moment he chose to ‘save’ this universe, Thanos had actually been mentally prepared to die at the hands of the enemy.
Although dying on Earth was unexpected, it was understandable.
Like he said, it wasn’t personal; it was just that they had different goals.
What Thanos didn’t know was that he was facing an enemy who had an intuition for death and had mental powers.
The obvious change in mood, an intense feeling of impending death, and Thanos’s left hand that was about to touch the Power Stone all exposed Thanos’s intention.
It wasn’t that Thanos wasn’t cautious; in such an intense battle, it was impossible for him to believe that Luke could instantly sense his thoughts.
After all, less than five seconds had passed between the two of them being blown away and Luke lunging at him again.
So, under Thanos’s cold and dead gaze, Luke suddenly slowed down. With a last, determined smile, he swung his fists at Thanos’s head.
At the same time, he sent a thought to Selina: “Grab the Stones.”
Almost reflexively, Selina stretched out the arm that was wrapped around Thanos’s right arm. At the same time, the nanoarmor on her palm covered the Infinity Glove and the four Stones in it.
Distracted by Luke’s exaggerated performance, Thanos subconsciously paid slightly less attention to Selina. After all, she had always acted like a support player.
