Chapter 169 : The Four Great Apostles and the Aquarius Divine Clothes!
The silvery-white metallic sphere instantly transformed into a silver surfboard, its body glowing with dazzling light, and the silvery-white figure turned into a flash of lightning exceeding the speed of light.
It did not rush towards Li Yu, but instead continuously flickered at high frequency around the spatial nodes near Li Yu. Each time it appeared, the surfboard would emit a cosmic energy beam condensed to the extreme.
The power of the beam was enough to annihilate a Planet, its trajectory cunning, layers upon layers sealing off all of Li Yu's evasion space.
Li Yu instantly recognized this silvery-white object as Silver Surfer, Thanos's subordinate. He just didn't know why he was being controlled by Sentinel!
Hulk's earth-shattering roar tore through the air, and a crimson light, like blood, surged wildly across his green skin.
He had no fancy techniques, only the most violent outpouring of power. His massive fist, wrapped in a reality-distorting crimson force field, slammed heavily into the ground!
Boom!
The ground beneath Li Yu's feet instantly came alive, transforming into a writhing, dark red lava swamp reeking of sulfur. Countless giant hands made of lava emerged from the swamp, grabbing at his legs, trying to drag him into the depths of the lava.
At the same time, the power of the Reality Stone rewrote the air's gravity, an invisible pressure like a myriad of Himalayan mountains pressing down heavily on Li Yu.
In this space, all solar radiation was canceled, turning into white light devoid of energy.
Under this pressure, Li Yu's bones emitted faint cracking sounds.
This was not the end. The blue particle cloud suspended high in the air slowly deformed, taking the shape of a naked man.
He had blue transparent skin, golden eyes, and free-floating particles swirling around him.
The man's expression was exceptionally calm. He did not participate in direct physical attacks, but simply raised his right hand and gently clenched it towards Li Yu.
Buzz!
Li Yu instantly felt a sense of nothingness in his left arm.
He was surprised to find that the matter, energy, and even spatial structure that made up his arm were actually beginning to be forcibly disassembled and broken down into their most basic particles!
This was not an ordinary energy attack, but an obliteration directly from the level of existence.
"Dr. Manhattan!"
Li Yu understood instantly.
Only Dr. Manhattan could control quantum forms and disregard physical laws.
At this moment, Dr. Manhattan was clearly controlled by Pantheon, having lost all humanity and transformed into a cold, efficient, quantum-level humanoid weapon!
Li Yu couldn't help but feel a deep dread. Pantheon's methods were endless; even Dr. Manhattan had become their killing machine... Facing a joint surprise attack from five powerhouses from different fields, each possessing terrifying abilities, even Li Yu, who wielded four Infinity Stones and had awakened the Eighth Sense Cosmo, felt an unprecedented pressure.
Sentinel's fist pressure, Silver Surfer's sealing beams, Ouroboros's devouring poisonous mist, coupled with Hulk's Reality Stone distorting space, greatly hindered his movement.
Li Yu wanted to activate the power of the Space Stone, but found that the Space Stone's ethereal blue light became sluggish in its operation.
Seeing that teleportation was not an option, Li Yu could only directly withstand Sentinel's attack.
Thump!
Li Yu's right hand collided with Sentinel's fist. Two terrifying forces erupted at the point of contact, forming a powerful Impact that instantly destroyed the entire enclosed space.
However, under the power of the Reality Stone, the shattered space quickly reshaped, and the walls and ground returned to their original state, as if the destruction had never occurred.
Immediately after, Ouroboros's devouring poisonous mist completely enveloped Li Yu. This poisonous mist could not only corrode matter but also absorb Cosmo energy.
He could clearly feel that the energy in his body was rapidly draining, and the light of the Gold Cloth also began to flicker slightly.
Dr. Manhattan's quantum decomposition continued. The sense of nothingness in Li Yu's left arm grew stronger, and the surface of the Gold Cloth's armor even began to show traces of particleization, as if it would completely dissipate in the next second.
He had to simultaneously operate the Aquarius freezing air, Chaos Lightning, the power of the four Infinity Stones, and his Cosmo to barely resist this multi-dimensional attack, his mental will enduring extreme overload.
Although Hulk's attacks were direct, the Reality Stone's crimson force field was ubiquitous.
The recently frozen ground might suddenly turn into quicksand, and the gravity field changed in an instant, forcing Li Yu to divert his attention to cope with environmental mutations with every exertion of force, completely disrupting his battle rhythm.
"You all are courting death!"
Golden light burst from Li Yu's eyes, his Eighth Sense Cosmo pushed to its limit.
He no longer passively dodged. His right hand gripped the Power Stone, and a deep purple light condensed on his golden gauntlet. The terrifying power, amplified a hundredfold, slammed out fiercely.
Bang!
Li Yu's fist collided with Sentinel's fist again. Two immense forces capable of shaking a Planet clashed, and the Impact, like a tangible tsunami, spread in all directions, crushing everything materialized by the Reality Stone!
The lava giant hands beneath Li Yu's feet instantly vaporized, and Sentinel's golden figure was also sent flying backward, the golden psychic force field covering his body instantly dimming.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Yu clenched his left hand, and the orange-red light of the Soul Stone blazed brightly.
The hundredfold-enhanced Soul power transformed into an orange-golden psychic barrier, actively meeting Ouroboros's devouring poisonous mist.
Li Yu used Soul energy to neutralize the devouring law. Simultaneously, the Absolute Zero freezing air emanated from his Cloth, completely freezing the spread of the poisonous mist.
The poisonous mist came into contact with the orange-gold barrier and the freezing air.
Sizzling sounds of erosion and cracking sounds of freezing emanated as the two forces annihilated each other, temporarily forming a stalemate.
The ethereal light of the Space Stone suddenly lit up!
Li Yu's figure, amidst Silver Surfer's dense star annihilation cannons, transformed into countless afterimages.
He used Kamar-Taj's mystic arts to flash at high speed, splitting himself into hundreds of clones.
Any beams he occasionally couldn't completely avoid were forcefully shattered by his fists, which were covered with the Power Stone's energy.
Facing Dr. Manhattan's quantum-level decomposition power,
Li Yu did not resist head-on, but instead injected the power of the Mind Stone into his own psychic energy, which, after being amplified a hundredfold, became the most resilient anchor, firmly locking the form and physical existence of his left arm.
That terrifying sense of nothingness was forcibly suppressed, and the trend of decomposition was temporarily solidified.
This was a restraint at the rule level, pitting mental will against existential dissolution.
Li Yu, fighting one against five, relying on the might of the four Infinity Stones and the Gold Saint's Eighth Sense Cosmo, actually managed to stabilize his ground amidst the storm-like onslaught of the five powerhouses.
The center of the battlefield was like a constantly annihilating and regenerating purgatory. Various colored energy lights wildly collided, exploded, and annihilated, and space repeatedly switched between breaking and reshaping.
However, this balance was extremely fragile.
Sentinel's power was endless; every punch made Li Yu's arm numb, and the Power Stone's consumption of stamina far exceeded expectations.
Ouroboros's poisonous mist was continuous; the Soul barrier and freezing air were constantly being consumed, and even wisps of poisonous mist penetrated the defenses, making the Gold Cloth's radiance grow dimmer.
Silver Surfer's speed and beams were like a persistent curse; a slight lapse in attention would result in a hit.
Although Dr. Manhattan's quantum decomposition was suppressed, it was like a persistent maggot, continuously draining Li Yu's Soul power.
Hulk, empowered by the Reality Stone, became even more berserk. Every heavy blow carried spatial distortion, requiring Li Yu to expend more energy to counteract the interference.
Just as Li Yu concentrated on countering another heavy punch from Sentinel, while simultaneously suppressing Dr. Manhattan's quantum decomposition,
A hint of cunning flashed in Ouroboros's cold vertical pupils. Its massive snake body dematerialized. It no longer spewed poisonous mist but transformed into a phantom, ignoring spatial distance, and suddenly appeared behind Li Yu!
Its gaping maw, large enough to devour a Planet, did not bite Li Yu's body, but precisely aimed at his left hand, which held the Soul Stone.
The target was directly the orange-glowing Infinity Stone! The cold, venomous, and devouring snake's kiss instantly enveloped Li Yu's left arm and the Soul Stone, just millimeters away from the gem!
In the nick of time, the Aquarius Cloth suddenly absorbed the Soul Stone into its gauntlet.
A prompt popped up in front of Li Yu's eyes.
[Aquarius Cloth fuses with Divine Gem, unlocking Divine Cloth form!]
