The End of the World: Chaos

"It's because you underestimated me and the power of this hammer." Ronan's tone gradually became calm, but his determination remained unchanged. He raised the hammer high, his eyes were like torches, "Today, let's put a perfect end to it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ronan swung his hammer with all his might. The hammer struck with such tremendous force that it instantly cut through the air. A flash of light appeared, followed by an earth-shaking sound.

Yang Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he dodged hastily, intending to escape the killing force, but it was too late. The giant hammer rushed down like a meteor, ruthlessly bombarding where he stood.

In an instant, the stone broke, and the tunnel walls rumbled under the strong impact. The sound of the cracking was agitated in the closed place and directly penetrated the ears of the two people. Dust flew, and the air was sticky, as if time and space were frozen in an instant.

Ronan gripped the handle tightly, staring at the broken tip of the hammer, with a mixture of anger and reluctance, as if he had been severely injured and was still gasping for breath. He threw the hammer handle to the ground, making a crisp sound, as if announcing the end of his last hope.

"What on earth are you doing, Yang Yi!" Ronan's voice trembled, anger mixed with sadness, "Are you going to let me lose?"

Yang Yi shook his head gently, smiling gently, but in his heart he felt helpless about his friend's pain. He stepped forward, patted Ronan on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "My dear brother, I don't want to see you fail, but this matter cannot be solved by force."

"I don't need any consolation!" Ronan shouted angrily, his eyes sharp, "I only want a glimmer of hope, a chance to change the current situation!"

"Turning point? To seek a turning point, we must face the facts." Yang Yi said in a low voice, revealing a solemn meaning, "Do you know what kind of challenge we are facing? It is not a pure physical confrontation, but a contest of mind and wisdom. Anger can only make you lose your wisdom. You need to calm down and think about the next step."

Ronan bit his lips and teeth, his eyes wandering, and several brothers who had lived and died together with him appeared in his mind, all of whom were in danger because of the failure of this battle. His heart was undergoing drastic changes and turmoil.

"I know, but..." Ronan spoke slowly, his voice low, "I have tried my best, why do I keep failing when I am so determined to win?"

"It's because you don't have enough strength." Yang Yi spoke frankly, his words implying irrefutable truth. "Strength is not just about being physically strong, it also means having wisdom, cooperation, and discernment. You should reflect on yourself and find the root cause, rather than just venting your emotions."

"Reflect on yourself?" Ronan laughed at himself, his eyes revealing confusion and helplessness, "I don't know where to start. I want to make it better, so how could I be wrong?"

"No mistake." Yang Yi spoke gently, sitting down and looking at Ronan, expressing his thoughts sincerely, "Those who are kind-hearted are sincere, but the way to deal with it must be flexible. To face this adversity, what is needed is foresight and calmness, not brute force."

"It's easy for you to say, but the reality makes me feel helpless." Ronan lowered his head, clenched his knees with both hands, and looked a little confused.

"I understand, Ronan." Yang Yi also sighed, his voice soft, "However, we have a team and an alliance. We are not fighting alone. Perhaps this defeat is a lesson, but we should learn from it and regroup."

"Who can I place my hope in?" Ronan looked up at the sky. The brilliant light shone through the gaps in the trees, giving the earth a touch of golden light. However, the dark clouds in his heart did not dissipate.

"We have a bond of mutual support, isn't it?" Yang Yi looked at Ronan firmly, "You can entrust me with your responsibility, or you can rely on the brothers. Let's go to the other side together. Don't give up at this moment."

Ronan's emotions gradually calmed down. He stared at Yang Yi with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Do you really believe that we still have a chance?"

"I am sure of it." Yang Yi responded with a smile, his eyes firm, "Those who join forces will always find a way out. Don't forget, we are not fighting alone, but fighting against the entire vastness!"

Ronan suddenly understood, and a sense of courage rose in his heart: "Perhaps, I should seek external help instead of fighting alone."

"That's right." Yang Yi's eyes flashed with hope. "Let's explore the situation together and think about the changes in countermeasures. At the same time, we will gather the team and every member to participate, gather everyone's wisdom and overcome the difficulties together." Ronan nodded, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Although there was a hint of reluctance, the courage in his heart was like the light of dawn, rekindling his heart. He sighed and said gently: "Thank you, Yang Yi, I will think deeply about your advice."

"That's why you're my good friend!" Yang Yi patted Ronan on the back with pride, then turned to the broken hammer head and said sarcastically, "You need to think carefully and stop using force as a solution. If you don't, you may even have to change the hammer handle next time."

Ronan couldn't help laughing. Even though he knew that it would take time to fix everything, at least the two of them had found a way out, and a ray of new hope appeared in their hearts.

"Let's go and find those people." Yang Yi stood up calmly, straightened his clothes, and took Ronan's hand, as if calling back the fighting spirit of the past.

"Why is it so!" Ronan turned his head suddenly, his eyes filled with shock and anger, and he suddenly felt a repressive force restraining him. The look he cast towards Yang Yi was filled with anxiety and fear.

"Do you think this hammer can defeat me?" Yang Yi smiled slightly, and with a flick of his finger, Ronan's arrogance was completely gone. He turned his eyes to Gamora standing aside, as if to say, "From what I can see, your brother still hasn't understood the truth."

Gamora frowned, her disappointment with Ronan becoming more obvious. She knew that Ronan always relied on his self-confidence, and his behavior today showed his arrogant and fearless nature. "Ronan, why don't you realize it?" Gamora's voice was mixed with worry and resentment, "Do you think you are strong enough to dominate the world?"

“Stop making noise!” Ronan roared, his voice like thunder, still hiding the uneasiness in his heart, “I am the supreme ruler of the universe, no one can stop me! Yang Yi, you underestimate me too much!”

"Can you really resist my might?" Yang Yi shook his head, a trace of contempt flashing across his eyes, "You can't even withstand the force of one finger of mine, are you still daydreaming?"

Ronan's expression turned stern, his face twisted, and he was filled with the air of unwillingness to lose. "I will never be humiliated. Just wait and see. I will make you pay for today's insult!"

Suddenly, a faint laugh lingered in his ears, interrupting Ronan's threatening words. Xingyun stood quietly to one side, his eyes flickering between Yang Yi and Ronan, with a smile on his face, as if he was observing something.

"Ronan, you are too innocent." Xingyun said softly, her voice caressing the heart like the night wind, "Can the power of constant pursuit really make you invincible?"

Ronan was stunned, and turned to look at his sister, "Xingyun, what are you talking about? Do you think Yang Yi can defeat me?"

Xingyun pointed at Yang Yi and said, "I didn't say he would defeat you. I just said you haven't fully grasped his true ability." His eyes were like stars, containing infinite wisdom.

"You are actually lecturing me here?" Ronan's heart was burning with anger, and his face turned green. "I don't need to listen to your nagging, I just need your strength!"

Yang Yi sneered, his eyes flashing with a playful light, "Your foolish pride has led you to the abyss of destruction, and you still don't know how to wake up?"

"You thieves!" Ronan gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger. No matter how strong he was, he could not hide his weakness and helplessness at this moment.

"Nebula, you always think about that person. Aren't you worried that he might hurt you?" Gamora frowned slightly, her worries growing.
