Chapter 168 : The Mind Gem is in hand, and the war begins!
"Hand over the Infinity Stone!"
Wanda's sharp shriek, like a blade, harshly assaulted Li Yu's eardrums.
Blood-red beams shot from her rotting eye sockets, and immense Chaos Magic, like boiling magma, surged towards Li Yu.
The Chaos Magic, with its extremely corrosive nature, caused the silver glow of Li Yu's Thor's Battle Armor to visibly dim at a speed perceptible to the naked eye under the erosion of the Chaos Magic. Fine corrosive patterns even began to appear on the armor's surface, as if it had been gnawed by strong acid.
"Hand over the Infinity Stone… I don't want to kill you!"
Wanda's voice was intermittent, her rotting lips opening and closing with difficulty, clearly struggling to suppress the surging bloodthirsty nature within her.
Her remaining sanity made her still wary of Li Yu's power.
"Wanda, get back to your zombie World!"
Li Yu's eyes suddenly shot out streaks of lightning, and the power of lightning poured down like a tide.
A crack appeared in the space behind him, and the aquarius gold cloth, transforming into golden starlight, streamed out one after another. The golden Cloth instantly conformed to his body.
The shoulder pads were curved like carved ice crystals, and the chest plate was engraved with the constellation pattern of Aquarius. The moment the Cloth covered his body, his Eighth Sense Cosmo erupted!
Amplified by the Cloth, his Cosmo received a threefold boost, and a golden energy pillar shot into the sky. Li Yu easily broke free from the restraints of the Chaos Magic.
The three great Chaos Magic of the Marvel Universe were powerful, but they could only corrode the Lightning Battle Armor, which was composed of Thor's power.
Li Yu's Saint body formed its own Cosmo, a power system completely different from this World's, greatly weakening the Chaos Magic's suppressive effect on him.
The scarlet illusion, under the impact of Absolute Zero, shattered like glass, piece by piece, emitting crisp cracking sounds.
The false Westview was completely frozen and annihilated, revealing its true nature as a ruin filled with rubble and humus beneath.
Wanda's pupils constricted. She instinctively vanished into the void, but Li Yu hurled Mjolnir from his hand!
Crack!
Under the impact of Mjolnir, space cracked into pieces!
Wanda screamed as she fell out of the twisted void. Her corrupted body was covered in frost and lightning, her lower half gone. She lay on the ground, unable to move a muscle.
In her damaged chest cavity, a dazzling yellow light vibrated violently under the impact of the lightning power.
Li Yu knew that was the light emanating from the Mind Stone.
"Peel it off!"
Li Yu's five fingers clenched, and an ice crystal chain condensed from Absolute Zero appeared out of thin air, piercing directly through Wanda's chest cavity.
Accompanied by a soul-wrenching wail, the orange-yellow Mind Stone was forcibly extracted from her body and landed steadily in Li Yu's palm.
Four Infinity Stones resonated within him; orange, blue, purple, and yellow lights intertwined, emanating a pressure that made space itself subtly tremble.
As soon as he had the Mind Stone, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Including Strange's Time Stone, he had already obtained five. Now, only one Reality Stone was missing to complete the set of six Infinity Stones!
The Reality Stone!
As this thought crossed his mind, the space around Li Yu suddenly began to violently fluctuate, as if a giant beast was about to break through a barrier.
Boom!
Five figures tore through space and suddenly descended upon the ruins. The leader, clad in his iconic golden jumpsuit and enveloped in a faint golden light, was none other than the Fallen Reincarnator, Sentinel.
The power of a million Suns emanating from him was like an invisible giant hand, crushing everything around him. The rubble beneath him turned to dust.
Behind Sentinel, four Shadows appeared, each with a different form, yet all exuding an equally terrifying aura.
The first was a chaotic giant snake, connected head to tail, its scales shimmering with a dark luster, and its forked tongue emitted a dark aura that seemed to devour light.
Li Yu's eyes flickered; he felt that the form of this giant snake was somewhat familiar.
The second was a metallic sphere, entirely silver-white, constantly changing its form, with occasional glimpses of pained, distorted human faces emerging within it.
The third was a blue particle cloud, with particles constantly aggregating and dispersing, and blue lightning flashing within it.
The last was a green giant creature, its eyes bloodshot, roaring furiously at Li Yu!
"Roar!"
The red light beneath the skin of this green giant beast surged like lava.
In its chest, at the heart, a red Infinity Stone was embedded. The energy fluctuations emanating from the Infinity Stone caused the four Infinity Stones in Li Yu's hand to all glow, echoing each other from afar!
Its scarlet pupils were fixed on Li Yu, and a violent reality-distorting field spread out.
The surrounding ruins, like melting wax, constantly reorganized and deformed, sometimes turning into triangles, sometimes coalescing into countless arms.
Li Yu's pupils constricted, and a flash of surprise and delight crossed his eyes.
This green giant creature was the missing Hulk!
However, the once wise Dr. Banner, the Hulk, had now completely lost his sanity, with only savage killing intent in his eyes, having thoroughly become Sentinel's killing weapon.
The Strange disturbances around indicated that the Reality Stone was inside the Hulk, and it was on the verge of losing control!
Sentinel floated in mid-air, his handsome face devoid of any expression, only cold killing intent.
"Hunter, didn't you expect this? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Today, even the Main God can't save you!"
He turned to look at the Hulk, his voice carrying an unquestionable command.
"Imprison him, don't let him use the Space Stone to teleport!"
The Reality Stone in Hulk's chest erupted with a dazzling red light.
Li Yu only felt the scene before his eyes blur, and the next second, he and Sentinel's five companions were in an unfamiliar space.
Around them were unbreakable white walls; the space was sealed, with no exits, clearly a cage forcibly constructed by the Reality Stone.
"This is my home ground."
Sentinel spread his hands, his tone full of mockery.
"Hunter, today you can't escape even with wings!"
Li Yu, however, was not flustered; a faint smile even played on his lips.
This way, things became simpler instead.
As long as he eliminated Sentinel and seized the Reality Stone from the Hulk, he would be able to gather all six Infinity Stones and snap his fingers to reverse the situation.
At this point, he no longer had the urgency he felt before.
Li Yu slowly floated up, level with Sentinel, and spoke calmly.
"I should thank you for actively delivering the Reality Stone. In return, I can let you die peacefully later."
"Still talking tough even at death's door!"
Sentinel sneered and waved his hand lightly!
"All of you, attack him!"
This command was like a battle horn. The pressure from Sentinel and the four apostles instantly erupted, energy soaring into the sky. The walls enclosing the space groaned and cracked under the immense pressure, threatening to collapse at any moment.
The first wave of attack came without warning. The power of a million Suns within Sentinel was no longer restrained, erupting like an uncontrolled solar storm!
His figure left a golden afterimage in place, and his fist, accompanied by a space-tearing shriek, shot straight for Li Yu's face.
This punch had no technique, only pure, destructive physical power.
The air was compressed into an invisible barrier, space twisted and deformed before his fist, and even light was pulled by this force.
Almost in sync with Sentinel, the chaotic giant snake coiled in the void suddenly opened its enormous mouth.
Without a sound, a deep, dark poisonous mist, capable of devouring light, spewed forth.
The poisonous mist not only contained potent toxins but also carried a terrifying devouring law. Wherever it passed, even space itself seemed to be gnawed away and vanish, leaving behind hollow, void traces.
Its target was not merely to destroy Li Yu's body, but also to claim his immense Cosmo energy.
