Chapter 1993 When Bai Xuan descended, everything was already destined; in the name of God King Loki,
Chapter 1993 When Bai Xuan descended, everything was already destined; in the name of God King Loki, war!
In this deathly silence and bewilderment, Loki and Tony's bodies emitted a soft light.
At the edge of the hole in Loki's chest, wisps of emerald green light emerged, like the finest vines, and began to grow rapidly.
Flesh, bones, internal organs, and skin healed at a speed defying common sense.
The horrific wound that pierced through his chest disappeared almost instantly, leaving behind smooth, pristine skin.
Immediately afterwards, Loki's tightly closed eyes snapped open.
He subconsciously touched his undamaged chest, then quickly scanned the entire scene. When he saw Bai Xuan's calm back and the Infinity Stones floating in the void, his pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly understood what was happening. A complex expression of lingering fear appeared on his face.
He checked his body and found that although his divine power had been somewhat depleted, it was rapidly recovering.
The god of trickery and lies is not so easily killed.
Especially when he was prepared, and the truly deadly, soul-annihilating high-dimensional attack did not fall.
Elsewhere, Tony, whose neck had been snapped by Thanos, also opened his eyes.
"That purple sweet potato spirit is really powerful."
"I almost really went to see God. No, given my contributions, I might have gone to see Mephisto instead?"
Tony muttered a curse under his breath, then rubbed his neck.
Their gazes quickly locked onto Bai Xuan, the dim gems, and Loki, who, after also "coming back to life," was looking thoughtfully in their direction.
The two looked at each other across the distance and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.
A mere fatal wound meant nothing to them.
Loki, needless to say, has the Reality Stone integrated into the "Lies" authority. As long as his soul is not completely annihilated and his godhood is not completely shattered, he can turn everything into lies.
Thanos's Phantom Grip attack was indeed terrifying, piercing through Thanos's divine body. The high-dimensional power contained within it suppressed most of Thanos's resurrection instincts, preventing him from "resurrecting" for a short period of time.
But Thanos clearly did not include the power to completely annihilate souls in that attack.
They might be planning to deal with other threats before dealing with this one thoroughly, or they might have simply forgotten about it.
Loki did not die, but he was unable to use his powers because of Thanos's presence. Now that Thanos is dead, his influence is naturally gone.
Loki was then resurrected.
Tony is the same. As the Sorcerer Supreme, unless he suffers a blow that can fundamentally erase all information about his existence, or his existence is completely "denied" by a more powerful force of rules, the mere destruction of his physical body is not the end.
Thanos certainly possessed the ability to completely kill them, whether through a direct impact on their souls by higher-dimensional forces or by using the rules of the Infinity Stones to obliterate them; however, Thanos did not do so immediately.
When Bai Xuan arrived, everything was already destined.
At this moment, the two survivors looked at each other across the void, their eyes filled with the same complex emotions.
Although they knew that with Bai Xuan around, they couldn't possibly die, the feeling at that moment was truly incredibly close to death.
Cold, empty, and devoid of senses, consciousness is like a flickering candle in the wind, sensing the "edge" of one's existence gradually blurring in absolute darkness and silence.
There are not many specific ideas left, only the most essential, almost instinctive, understanding of "disappearance".
I am dying.
This experience was too unfamiliar to both Loki and Tony, as distant as something from a past life.
Although in their original "fate," they experienced the feeling of being on the verge of death more than once, and even actually "died."
But those were all things that would have happened in the original future.
After joining the chat group, everything changed.
The chat group gave them so much.
Foresight, resource exchange, power enhancement, and companion support.
They resolved many troubles ahead of time, avoided many risks, and gained power that would have otherwise required a huge price to obtain, or even been impossible to obtain, in their original "fate."
Therefore, whether in their own world or in the world of other group members, they did not truly experience death.
This time was no different.
But at that moment, when the feeling of death so real enveloped him, the sense of security that came from "knowing" became incredibly thin.
Reason tells them "you won't die," but their physical instincts and the trembling of their souls tell them "you're going to die."
This feeling is completely different from experiencing death in a virtual battle arena or a life game, but knowing in your heart that you can't die.
It was as if their certainty that they wouldn't die had been diminished.
If they could remain completely unfazed by Thanos's attack and the prospect of death, perhaps they wouldn't feel this sense of loss.
However, neither of them had many feelings about it.
Loki's gaze was the first to leave Tony, sweeping over the Asgardian fleet in the distance, still immersed in immense shock and bewilderment, and yet to recover from the impact of Thanos's fall.
The wrecked Asgardian warships floated in the starry sky. Some of the surviving warriors stood frozen in place, some knelt in prayer, and some helped each other up. Their faces were filled with the bewilderment of surviving a catastrophe, as well as the deep fear and confusion of the battle that had just passed beyond their comprehension.
Victory seemed imminent, but they also seemed to be experiencing a kind of cognitive shock. No one was giving orders, and the entire fleet was filled with an atmosphere of helplessness.
Seeing this, Loki shook his head slightly.
He straightened his back, straightened his slightly disheveled but still luxurious dark green robe, and his smile faded, replaced by a solemn, dignified, and somewhat divinely compassionate expression.
He took a step forward, his figure becoming even more striking in the magical glow.
Then, he used his divine power to clearly transmit his voice to every Asgardian warship, to every Asgardian warrior, and even to echo throughout the battlefield:
"People of Asgard! Brave warriors!"
The voice was clear and powerful, carrying a soothing magic that instantly broke the silence and attracted the attention of all the Asgardians.
Even Thor, who looked somewhat lost and dejected in the distance, subconsciously looked up at his younger brother, the current King of Asgard.
"See!"
"That arrogant Titan butcher, Thanos who intended to invade Asgard, has been slain!"
"Fallen by the hands of a true supreme being!"
Loki spread his arms, pointing to the place where Thanos had finally vanished, then to the Infinity Stones that had lost their luster and were floating silently. Finally, his gaze swept over the still enormous but now chaotic Thanos fleet in the distance.
"His ambition, his atrocities, have turned to stardust with his demise!"
"But the war is not over yet! Look at those remaining henchmen!"
"Although their masters have perished, these executioners stained with the blood of countless worlds, these villains who invaded our homes and slaughtered our compatriots, still roam this starry sky!"
He pointed sharply at the distant army that was beginning to riot, the menacing vanguard guards, and the still-floating dark warships.
"Warriors of Asgard!"
"Put aside fear! Dispel confusion! The enemy is at its most vulnerable and confused when it loses its leader!"
"Take up your weapons, grip your shields, for the glory of Asgard, for the fallen, for the peace of the Nine Realms!"
"Eliminate all the remaining invaders!"
"And I, Loki Odinson, King of Asgard, will be here to witness your valor and to witness the might of Asgard resound once more throughout the stars!"
Loki's voice, filled with unprecedented solemnity and majesty, resounded in the ears and hearts of every Asgardian warrior.
As the king of Asgard, his words dispelled the warriors' confusion and fear of the extraordinary battle they had just witnessed, drawing their attention back to the enemy before them and igniting their long-suppressed anger and the flames of revenge.
Yes, Thanos, that terrifying monster, is dead, wiped out by a stronger being; but these enemies who invaded their territory and killed their comrades are still here!
Hatred needs to be washed away with blood, and glory needs to be forged by the defeat of the enemy!
"For Asgard!"
"For Loki, the King of Gods!"
"Drive out the invaders! Revenge!"
A deafening roar and battle cry erupted from the Asgardian fleet in an instant.
The battered yet stubborn Asgardian warships turned their cannons around, their engines spewing out dazzling flames, and charged toward Thanos's army, which was beginning to fall into chaos in the distance!
Berserkers, Valkyries, and Asgardian Guardians, despite their injuries, had burning fighting spirit in their eyes. They gripped their weapons tightly and, following the warships, launched a counterattack.
The initiative in the war changed hands in an instant!
Meanwhile, Thor's battle with Corvus Glaive has entered its final stage.
Originally, with his peerless blade that possessed the ability to resurrect, as well as his superb martial arts skills and rich killing experience, Corvus Glaive could barely hold his own against Thor, who had awakened the power of thunder and was wielding Stormbreaker. He could even occasionally cause trouble for Thor by using the characteristics of his weapon.
But when Thanos was "erased" by Bai Xuan in a way that defied comprehension, and especially when he felt the deep connection between himself and Thanos shatter instantly, Corvus Glaive's heart sank to the bottom.
His greatest source of survival, the ruler to whom he was loyal and even regarded as a kind of faith, was gone just like that.
Fear instantly gripped his heart.
It wasn't fear of Thor, but fear of Bai Xuan, who so casually "erased" Thanos, and a deep panic about his own fate after losing his master.
The will to fight vanished as quickly as the tide receded, replaced by the instinct to survive and escape this deadly place.
"Damn it! Lord Thanos actually..."
Corvus Glaive General Gercaster delivered a powerful slash, using the force to retreat rapidly. His crimson eyes scanned the battlefield quickly, searching for an escape route.
Thanos's flagship? No, it's too conspicuous and might attract unwanted attention.
Those small assault ships? Perhaps there's a chance.
He noticed several fast assault ships hovering at the edge of the battlefield, seemingly somewhat bewildered.
"Trying to escape? Coward!"
Thor roared, having noticed the change in Corvus Glaive's fighting style, from fighting to the death to fighting and retreating absentmindedly.
Surging lightning coiled around his body, and the Storm Axe hummed loudly.
How could Thor allow the enemy to escape?
"Your master has turned to cosmic dust! Now, it's your turn!"
Thor's body surged with lightning, his speed suddenly increasing, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the starry sky, instantly closing the distance with Corvus Glaive.
The Storm Axe, imbued with the power of thunder, cleaved down with the force to split mountains and cleave seas!
In a moment of haste, General Corvus Glaive raised his sword to parry, and the black blade collided fiercely with the Storm Axe, which was wreathed in raging lightning!
"clang!!!"
A deafening clang of metal clashing resounded through the void, and violent lightning surged wildly towards General Deathblade from the point of impact.
General Corrupt Blade groaned, feeling his arm go numb.
But before he could make a move, Thor continued his attack, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
The Stormbreaker wielded Thor like the wind, each strike containing the terrifying power to shatter stars, forcing him to defend himself in a sorry state and retreat step by step.
"Is Corvus Glaive all you can do is run away like a rat?!"
Thor attacked fiercely while roaring angrily.
"Thor, Lord Thanos is dead. This war must end!"
"Moreover, the version of you in this universe did not experience those wars at all, Asgard still exists, and your brother Loki even became the God-King of Asgard."
"I have no hatred between us. Let me go, and I promise I will never invade Asgard again!"
While defending himself, General Corvus Glaive spoke to Thor.
But clearly, Thor didn't care about what he said; he only cared whether he really wanted to run away.
Now it seems this guy really wants to escape.
How could he possibly allow that?
"Finish?"
Thor cleaved Corvus Glaive's blade in two with an axe, and the lightning blast sent the general flying backward.
"The moment you point your cannons at Asgard, the moment your armies set foot on the Nine Realms, it will only end when one side falls completely!"
Thor stopped wasting words and pressed his advantage.
He raised the Storm Axe high, and vast divine power of thunder surged from within him, communicating with the omnipresent laws of thunder in the universe.
In an instant, a terrifying thundercloud covering hundreds of kilometers in radius condensed out of thin air, with countless bolts of destructive lightning as thick as buckets rolling and roaring within it, radiating a pressure that could change the very color of the heavens and earth.
"In the name of Asgard, in the name of my father Odin!"
"The time for judgment has come! Pay the price for the sins you have committed!"
Thor's voice boomed like thunder.
As Thor's battle axe fell, the destructive energy accumulated in the thunderclouds found an outlet. Thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning tore through the void and indiscriminately bombarded Corvus Glaive and the large area around him!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A sea of lightning engulfed the airspace, and the blinding flashes of lightning made the Asgardian warriors who were pursuing the fleeing enemy squint.
The deafening explosions continued incessantly, interspersed with the brief, piercing screams of General Corvus Glaive and some kind of shattering sound.
