Shadow of the Beautiful World

boom

On the other side of the galaxy, in the desolate world entwined with the time gem, it was crushed by a huge force again.

It was like a bomb exploded in the center of the world, turning the entire world into crumbling rubble and rolling away in all directions.

But those green gleams that surround the world make the collapsed world return to its complete form in time reversal.

It's like a time-traveling cage.

Thanos stands on the ever-regenerating barren land.

This is not the first time he has seen the collapsed landscape restored in time reversal. The broken rocks are pushed back along the trajectory of the eruption and re-glued like a movie reversed.

The broken sky also returned to its lifeless color in the rolling clouds.

In this world where the flow of time has been distorted, Thanos is the only constant node.

He suffers from the passage of time, and even while holding the three-gem-encrusted Infinity Gauntlet, his perception of time has become confused.

How long has he been trapped here by God Lord Doom?

2 days?

2 years?

Or 200 years?

Or just 2 hours?

2 minutes?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

It's pointless to dwell on this issue when time has been completely distorted.

Seeing the silent warrior in the black bat armor attacking from the sky surrounded by billowing flames, Thanos moved his shoulders, ripped off the broken golden armor on his body, and threw it on the ground.

This burly Titan star did not dodge or evade. The moment Batman in the Balrog form made a surprise attack, his right hand with the golden gauntlet clenched into a fist.

While dodging Batman's heavy punch like lightning, the clenched fist also punched Batman in the stomach.

Elemental bodies cannot be harmed by brute force.

But Thanos himself is also a master of manipulating energy. This punch hit Batman's elemental body. While breaking up the flying lava, he also used a small-scale burst of energy to push Batman back a few steps. .

Thanos grinned grimly, and grabbed his heavy double-edged sword from under his feet.

In the flashing arc of space, he appeared behind Batman, and the mind gem on the Infinity Gauntlet shone brightly, trying to impact Batman's mind so that he could slash at this difficult warrior.

But Batman's reaction is also swift.

The Hellbat Armor has all of Merlin's magic and abilities. Although it is not as powerful as the real Raven in terms of energy level, Batman's top fighting thinking prevents him from being fooled by such a trick.

His mind was indeed impacted by the mind stone, but Thanos' sword failed to cut him.

The brutal sharp blade pierced Batman's body, as if cutting in the air, sliding down along with Batman's body entering the quantum state, and finally cutting on the ground.

kuang

The brute force of the conqueror split the freshly healed earth, and the collapsed ravine spread from Batman's feet in all directions. Without a single blow, Thanos would immediately jump out of the battle ring.

But the slow light beam falling from the sky pierced the battlefield with precision, and the magic of the time gem made Thanos's movements slow down, while the oncoming burning punch in front of him was faster.

The scorching fist hit Thanos' wrinkled jaw, and the tumbling flames turned into hunting dogs, covering Thanos in an instant.

There is also a bright cross star in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the destructive beam roars down.

A perfect collaboration.

If another heavenly father were here, he would definitely be seriously injured by the cooperation of Batman and Doom.

wow

The black cracks in space spread out like a storm, and those sharp things cut through everything, swallowing all the magic power summoned by the Balrog spell and the beams of light falling from the sky.

Thanos emerged from the blue energy storm with a burn on his jaw.

But under the protection of space, he did not suffer a heavier blow.

Another deadly raid went nowhere.

Thanos' eyes are full of eagerness to fight, he is enjoying the feeling of fighting against top fighters, he is enjoying this never-ending battle.

He wasn't even in a hurry to leave.

When Doom was trapped in the first place, Thanos really wanted to break free immediately, but after trying many times, he gave up this plan.

The earth has three rough stones.

Time, power and reality.

The Power Stone was hidden by the cunning Raven.

Even with the keen perception brought by the mind gem, Thanos could not find the location of the gem in the worlds of the earth and the earth nodes.

And the Reality Stone appeared briefly, and then disappeared strangely.

Thanos' two daughters failed in their attempt to snatch the gem.

The Reality Stone was also hidden by another force, and Thanos had a hard time finding it until it reappeared.

Instead, it was the time gem, right in front of my eyes.

As cunning as Doom is, it's not impossible to steal the Time Stone if you seize the opportunity.

Instead of spending time looking for it on the earth, it is better to get the gem in front of you first.

Except for Thanos, Dum is actually not in a hurry.

After Batman wearing the Hell Bat Armor came to help, he was tired and hid himself in the timeline. He was recovering, and from time to time he would cooperate with Batman to launch a deadly attack.

Dum is well aware of the reason why Thanos is here, so he is reducing the number of appearances, so as not to be seized by Thanos to take the gem away.

The mad titan has the protection of death, and the washing power of the time gem has no effect on him. While trapping Thanos, Doom is also always paying attention to the situation on the earth.

The situation is improving.

The situation has shifted in favor of the Earth.

After Icarus eliminated the mechanical catastrophe, the earth has entered a period of stability.

Except for the alien creatures that enter the human world from outside the dimension by relying on the convergence of the celestial spheres from time to time, the large-scale chaos and disasters have subsided.

The best way right now is to continue to trap Thanos here.

After the war between the top heroes and the cosmic evil fleet outside the solar system is over, let a group of guys who can fight, such as Silver Superman and Divine Shazam, free up their hands.

Then everyone gathered and killed Thanos, who held the infinite gauntlet and was blessed by death, on this marginal planet.

This is the best solution.

Under the special situation, the two sides both had the idea of ​​waiting for work with ease, and the battle situation was about to enter a stalemate.

But this stalemate will be broken at any time, and Dum knows it well.

Once the remaining two gems appear on the earth, then Thanos will definitely break free and go to the earth as soon as possible.

He compressed the time of this world. Although the battle had been going on here for almost 3 days, in the perception of the three participants, the time had not passed for a long time.

Doom is now only praying for New Asgard, don't be so anxious to remove the Stone of Reality for Jane Foster, and stabilize Thanos, waiting for the start of the big siege.

But he couldn't contact New Asgard, Thanos held the Mind Stone, and any information from here would be captured.

Once Thanos knows that the Stone of Reality is in New Asgard, the situation will be turbulent again.

Unfortunately, plans can never keep up with changes.

Just when Batman and Thanos were about to start another round of meaningless battles, Dum and Thanos almost simultaneously perceived a force that distorts reality emerging in the direction of the earth.

The Reality Stone has been activated beyond plan!

Oops!

Doom immediately jumped out of the timeline, holding the Eye of Agamotto in his hand, and tightened the power of time blessed in this world, trying to trap Thanos tightly.

But the Mad Titan's reflexes were just as quick.

After sensing the aura of the reality stone being activated, he immediately used the space gem to jump out of this world.

The moment the time gem was activated, in the roar of the tiger, three starlight tigers derived from the ancient body roared and rushed out from Batman's side.

They waved their sharp claws, tearing apart the space tunnel opened by Thanos.

Batman appeared in front of Thanos in the jump of the phase shift, and his flaming fists danced into phantoms, repelling Thanos fiercely when he took a step.

Thanos, who was lit with fire on his body, looked at the silent warrior blocking the way in front of him, and said:

You are amazing...

If everyone on Earth was like you, I would definitely have a headache. But don't you have any weaknesses? Batman, do you know why I kept you until now?

On Thanos' right hand, the Mind Gem and Soul Gem are lit at the same time, and the power that fully acts on the soul and will is like a sharp blade that attacks all things, stirring up waves in Batman's silent heart.

You are a perfect warrior, but unfortunately there is a hole in your heart that cannot be covered up.

Under this body that can kill gods, it's just a child who lost his parents... That night, yes, Bruce Wayne, I saw it, that night!

Under the hellbat armor, Bruce shook his head.

The world in front of his eyes distorted, and in the spinning perception like hallucinations, he seemed to be back in Gotham City, Crime Alley.

He was standing in the shadow of the street lamp, in the dirty alley in front of him, beside the stagnant water, beautiful women in white dresses and elegant men in tuxedos were lying on the ground.

blood.

Blood poured from their bodies, and a helpless child knelt beside them.

Under the dim street lights, there was the noisy neighing of night crows. In the darkness extended by the lights, it seemed that countless monsters were walking and wandering around.

That's him.

That was Bruce Wayne, the kid who lost everything.

He can only cry.

Standing in the darkness, Bruce's inner anger was burning like wildfire. He saw the murderer who fled in a hurry. The darkness couldn't cover his eyes, and he saw the face clearly.

That damned, twisted, malicious, sarcastic, killing face.

Dum!

Doom the Killer!

He ruined everything, he destroyed everything...

ah!

Bruce scratched his head and screamed in pain. The simultaneous effect of the soul and the mind gem made the mind defense that the battle armor blessed him no longer effective.

Amidst Thanos' laughter, the flaming hell bat crushed the ground, rushed into the sky, and blasted the raging flames towards Dum who stepped out of the timeline.

The attack came too suddenly, and Dum, who was caught off guard, was covered in flames.

The time constraint is still there, but the loss of the manipulator creates an opportunity for Thanos.

hum

The blue energy storm surged again, and in the blink of an eye, Thanos' figure disappeared into the bound planet.

wide awake!

Doom threw a spell on Bruce with a flick of his hand, and Batman's punching movement stagnated in mid-air, his will was already fighting back, and Doom's assistance made him quickly wake up from that illusion.

Looking back at the empty world, he clenched his fists.

I'm sorry, it was my fault.

He said to Doom:

I'll make it up.

Do not blame you.

Dum shook his head, he said with some regret:

The accidental activation of the Reality Stone was unplanned, and none of us could have expected it.

We go after him, there is still a chance.

Batman said in a hoarse voice:

You can't let him get the fourth gem, he's tough enough.

No, we're not chasing.

Dum took a look at the empty world, he took back the power of time with a wave of his hand, and opened a door leading to the dimension of hell with his hand.

He said to the hesitant Batman:

It was the original plan to trap Thanos until the situation became clear. It would be great if he could be trapped until the end of the battle, but the possibility of his escape has also been considered...

Let him go get the Reality Gem, we're going to get information on another important person now.

Shenjun touched the book hanging on his waist, he pursed his lips and said:

Now it's planb time.

Is this Merlin's plan?

Batman's mind turned sharply, and he immediately realized another possibility. He asked:

Is he going to use Thanos to do something?

Um.

Doom nodded, he pointed to the sky, and said:

No need to ask, walls have ears... let's go.

———————

On the other side, Thanos stepped into the Golden Palace Hall, and a golden thunder and lightning rushed towards him.

He raised the Infinity Gauntlet to block the lightning in front of him, and his huge body was pushed back several meters.

In the scattered golden smoke, Thanos raised his head, and saw Odin holding a blue giant sword, blocking the road leading to Jane Foster's residence.

The villain!

The one-eyed Odin leaned on the heavy sword exuding divine power in both hands, and he shouted loudly:

Leave the land of Asgard! You are not welcome in God's Domain!

Odin...

Thanos waved his hand to disperse the lingering electric light around his body. He moved his shoulders and looked at the old God King in front of him. He could smell the weakness of the God King. He said:

I promised your daughter to leave your kingdom behind for the next age.

But it's a pity that she betrayed me, which filled me with anger. Asgardians are not trustworthy!

The Infinity Gauntlet emitted a bright light, Thanos looked at the old God King in front of him, his attention was on Odin's weapon, and he said:

Where is the legendary omnipotent Gungnir?

To deal with someone like you...you don't need the Eternal Spear!

The old god king grasped the epee and put on a charging posture, golden thunder splashed on his body.

He has become weak, but it's not like any cat or dog can step on it.

boom

At the same time as the golden thunder erupted on the ground of the Golden Palace, behind the Golden Palace, in the Great Rune Tower, Frigga opened a portal and said to the guilt-ridden Jane:

Don't think too much, it's not your fault that the Reality Stone was activated, you just...you just want to help, it's not your fault.

Hela, take Jane to leave Asgard and go to Utopia Island, where Professor Charles has prepared defenses, and they are confident to fight Thanos...although I don't know where that confidence comes from.

Go! Odin and I will hold that mad titan down for you.

After finishing speaking, Tianhou grabbed her staff and rushed out of the Rune Tower. Little Hila was holding her nine-tailed cat and was about to take Jane into the portal, but Jane stopped her.

She glanced at the dark red arc dancing on her palm, and said:

Don't go to Utopia, Hella, it was my wrong behavior that caused this, and I will end it myself.

I...I had a dream about something...

Let's go to New York!
