71. Predatory Reality
"boom"
On the other side of the Milky Way, in the desolate world entangled by the gem of time, it was once again shattered by huge power.
Just like a bomb breaking out at the center of the world, turning the entire world into collapsed gravel rolling and pushing away in all directions.
But the glimmer of green light surrounding the world has once again restored this collapsed world to its complete form in the reverse of time.
It's like a cage of time going back and forth.
Thanos stood on the desolate land that was constantly restored.
This is not the first time he has seen a collapsed landscape restored in the reversal of time. The broken rocks are like movies that are being played back, pushed back along the trajectory of the explosion and re-bonded.
The broken sky also returned to its lifeless color as the clouds rolled.
In this world of twisted time flow, Thanos is the only constant node.
He suffered from the torture of time, and even with the infinity gloves set with three gems in his hand, his perception of time had become chaotic.
How long has he been trapped here by the god Dum?
2 days?
2 years?
Or 200 years?
Or maybe it's just 2 hours?
2 minutes?
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
When time has been completely distorted, it is meaningless to worry about this issue.
Seeing the silent warrior wearing black bat armor raiding from the sky with rolling flames, Thanos moved his shoulders, ripping off the broken golden armor on his body and throwing it on the ground.
The burly Titan star did not dodge or avoid it. The moment Batman in the form of the Fire Demon came, his right hand with golden hand armor was clenched into a fist.
While dodging Batman's heavy punch like lightning, his tight fist also punched Batman in the abdomen.
Elemental bodies will not be damaged by brute force.
But Thanos himself is also a master of energy manipulation. This punch hit Batman's elementalized body. While breaking up the flying lava, it also used a small-scale energy burst to knock Batman back several steps.
Thanos grinned and grabbed his heavy double-edged slash from his feet.
As the space arc flashed, he appeared behind Batman. The soul gem on the Infinite Glove shone brightly, trying to impact Batman's mind so that he could slash against this difficult warrior with this knife.
But Batman's reaction was also very fast.
Hell Bat Armor contains all Merlin's magic and abilities. Although it is not as powerful as the real Raven in terms of energy level, Batman's own top combat thinking prevents him from being deceived by such tricks.
His mind was indeed hit by the soul gem, but Thanos's sword could not cut him.
The brutal blade pierced into Batman's body, like chopping into the air, slid downwards as Batman's body entered the quantum state, and finally slashed on the ground.
"Clang"
The brute force of the Conqueror slashed the newly healed earth, and the collapsed ravines extended from Batman's feet to all directions. Without a single blow, Thanos immediately jumped out of the battle circle.
But the slow beam falling from the sky accurately penetrated into the battlefield. The magic of the Time Gem slowed down Thanos's movements, and the oncoming burning punches that came in front of him were faster.
The scorching fist hit Thanos's wrinkled chin, and the rolling flames turned into a hunting dog, covering Thanos in an instant.
There are also lit cross stars in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the beam of light that destroys the world roars and falls.
A perfect collaboration.
If the Father changes here, he will definitely be seriously injured by the cooperation of Batman and Dumm.
"Wow"
The black space cracks dispersed like a storm. Those sharp objects cut all things and swallowed up all the magic power summoned by the Flame Magic Talisman and the beams falling from the sky.
Thanos stepped out of the blue energy storm, leaving burns on his chin.
But under the protection of the space, he did not suffer any more severe blows.
Another fatal raid returned in vain.
Thanos's eyes were full of a sense of fighting spirit. He was enjoying this feeling of fighting against top warriors, and he was enjoying this endless battle.
He wasn't even in a hurry to leave.
When he was trapped by Doom at the beginning, Thanos really wanted to break free from his restraint immediately, but after trying many times, he gave up on this plan.
There are three rough stones on the earth.
Time, power and reality.
The power rough stone was hidden by the cunning raven.
Even with the keen perception brought by the mind gem, Thanos could not find the place of the gem in the earth and the earth's nodes.
The stone of reality appears briefly and disappears strangely.
Thanos's two daughters failed to seize the gem.
The Stone of Reality was also hidden by another force, and it was difficult for Thanos to find its trace before it reappeared again.
Instead, the time gem is right in front of you at this moment.
Although Dum is cunning, it is not impossible to seize the Stone of Time as long as you seize the opportunity.
Instead of spending time searching on Earth, it is better to get the gem in front of you first.
Apart from Thanos, Doum is not in a hurry.
After Batman wearing Hell Bat Armor came to help, he was tired and hid himself in the timeline. He was recovering and would cooperate with Batman to launch a deadly attack from time to time.
Dum knew very well why Thanos stayed here, so he was reducing the number of appearances so that he would not be seized by Thanos to take away the gems.
The Crazy Titan has the protection of death, and the scaling power of the Time Gem is ineffective against him. While trapping Thanos, Dum is also paying attention to the situation on the earth at all times.
The situation is getting better.
The situation has shifted toward the favor of the earth.
After Icarus eliminated the mechanical disaster, the earth has entered a period of stability.
In addition to the alien creatures that rely on the intersection of heaven and earth from time to time and enter the human world from outside the dimension, large-scale chaos and disasters have ceased.
The best way now is to continue to trap Thanos here.
After the war between the top heroes and the evil fleet of the universe is over outside the solar system, let Silver Superman, Divine Power Shazan and other groups of capable guys free up their hands.
Then everyone gathered together and killed Thanos, who was holding infinite gloves and blessed with death, on this edge planet.
This is the best solution.
In the special situation, both sides were determined to wait for their work, and the battle situation was about to stalemate.
But this stalemate will be broken at any time, Dumm knows it well.
Once the remaining two gems appear on Earth, Thanos will definitely break free from the constraints and head to 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, time did not pass long.
Dum now only prays for New Asgard not to be so anxious for Jane. Foster pulled away from the Stone of Reality and stabilized Thanos, waiting for the start of the encirclement.
But he was unable to contact New Asgard, Thanos held the Stone of the Heart in his hand, and any information that came 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't keep up with changes.
Just as Batman and Thanos were about to start another meaningless battle, Dumm and Thanos sensed almost at the same time a force that distorted reality emerged in the direction of the earth.
The Stone of Reality was activated outside the plan!
"Oops!"
Dum immediately jumped out of the timeline, holding the Eye of Agomoto in his hand, tightening the power of time that blessed the world, trying to trap Thanos tightly.
But the Crazy Titan's reaction was just as fast.
After sensing the aura of the real stone being activated, he immediately used the space gem to jump out of this world.
The moment the time gem started, as the tiger roared, the three ancient bodies of starlight spirals rushed out from Batman's side as they roared.
They waved their claws to pieces the space tunnel opened by Thanos.
Batman appeared in front of Thanos during the phase-moving jump, and his blazing fists danced into a phantom, killing Thanos, who had taken one step, fiercely.
Thanos, who was lit with fire, looked at the silent warrior blocking the road in front of him, and said:
"You are so awesome..."
"If everyone on Earth is the same as you, I will definitely have a headache. But do you have no weaknesses? Batman, do you know why I kept you until now?"
On Thanos's right hand, the soul gem and the soul gem are lit at the same time. The power that completely acts on the soul and will is like a sharp blade attacking everything, stirring up waves in Batman's silent heart.
"You are a perfect warrior, but unfortunately there are loopholes in your mind that cannot be covered."
"Under this body that is enough to fight the gods, it is just a child who has lost his parents... That night, yes, Bruce Wayne, I saw it, that night!"
Under the Hell Bat Armor, Bruce shook his head.
The world in front of him was twisted and in an illusion-like rotational perception, he seemed to return to Gotham City, Crime Lane.
He stood in the shadow of the street lights, in the dirty alley in front of him, beside the stinky water, a beautiful woman in a white dress and a gentle man in a tuxedo lying on the ground.
Blood.
Blood flowed out of their bodies, and a helpless child knelt beside them.
Under the dim street lights, there was the noisy roar of night crows. In the darkness of the lights, it was like countless monsters walking and wandering.
That's him.
That was Bruce Wayne, the child who lost everything.
He could only cry.
Bruce, who was standing in the darkness, was like wildfire burning. He saw the murderer who was running away in a hurry. The darkness could not cover his eyes, and he clearly saw the face.
That damn, twisted, full of malice, full of sarcasm, enjoying the killing face.
Dumm!
The murderer Dum!
He ruined everything, he destroyed everything...
"ah!"
Bruce grabbed his head and screamed in pain. The soul and soul gems acted simultaneously, so that the spiritual defense that the armor blessed him would no longer work.
Amid Thanos' laughter, the burning hell bats stomped the earth and rushed into the sky, blasting the raging flames towards Dum who stepped out of the timeline.
The attack came too suddenly, and Dumm, caught off guard, was covered by flames.
The constraints of time are still there, but losing the manipulator creates a chance for Thanos.
"Buzz"
A blue energy storm emerged again, and in the blink of an eye, Thanos's figure disappeared into the bounded planet.
"wide awake!"
Dumm shook his hand and threw a spell on Bruce. Batman's fist movement stopped in mid-air. His will was already fighting back. Dumm's assistance allowed him to quickly wake up from that illusion.
He looked back at the empty world, and he clenched his fists.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
He said to Doom:
“I will make it up.”
"I don't blame you."
Dum shook his head, and he said with some regret:
"The Stone of Reality was unexpectedly activated was beyond the plan, and none of us could have expected it."
"We'll go after him, there's still a chance."
Batman said in a husky voice:
"He can't get the fourth gem, he's already hard enough."
"No, we won't chase."
Dum glanced at the empty world, he shook his hand to recover the power of time, and waved his hand to open a door leading to the dimension of hell.
He said to the hesitant Batman:
"It was the initial plan to trap Thanos until the situation was clear. It was great if he could trap him until the end of the battle, but the possibility of his escape was also considered..."
"Let him get the reality gem, we are going to get information about another important person now."
The God touched the book hanging around his waist, and he pursed his lips and said:
“It’s time for planb.”
"Is this Merlin's plan?"
Batman turned his mind and immediately realized another possibility, he asked:
"He is going to use Thanos to do something?"
"Um."
Dum nodded, he pointed to the sky and said:
"No need to ask, the wall has ears... Let's go."
——————
On the other side, Thanos stepped into the Golden Palace Hall, and a golden lightning flashed towards him.
He raised his infinite gloves and blocked the lightning in front of him, and his huge body was repelled for several meters.
In the scattered golden smoke, Thanos raised his head and saw Odin holding a blue giant sword blocking the road to Jane Foster's residence.
"Bad!"
One-eyed Odin leaned on the heavy sword that exuded divine power in both hands, and he shouted loudly:
"Leave the land of Asgard! You are not welcome to the Divine Realm!"
“Odin…”
Thanos waved his hand to dispel the lightning lingering 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 keep your kingdom into the next era."
"But it's a pity that she betrayed me, which made me full of anger. The Asgardians are not trustworthy!"
Infinity Gloves emitted a bright light, Thanos looked at the old god king in front of him, and his attention was focused on Odin's weapon, he said:
"Where is the legendary omnipotent Gangniel?"
"I can't use the Eternal Gun against someone like you!"
The old god king grabbed the heavy sword and made a charge, and golden thunder splattered on his body.
He has become weak, but not even a cat or a dog can step on it.
"boom"
While the golden thunder rose up in the Golden Palace, behind the Golden Palace, in the Great Rune Tower, Queen Friga opened a portal and said to Jian, who looked guilty in front of her:
"Don't think too much. It's not your fault that the stone of reality is activated. You just... you just want to help, it won't be blamed on you."
"Hera, taking Jane out of Asgard and going to Utopia Island, where Professor Charles had prepared his defense, and they had the confidence to fight Thanos... although I don't know where that confidence comes from."
"Go! Odin and I will hold back the crazy Titan for you."
After saying that, the queen grabbed the staff and rushed out of the rune tower. Little Haila hugged her nine-tailed cat and was about to take Jane into the portal, but Jane stopped her.
She glanced at the dark red arc that was beating on her palms, and she said:
"Not going to Utopia, Hela, it was my wrong behavior that caused it all, and I want to end it myself."
"I...I dreamed of something before..."
