Chapter 131: Bare-Handed Extraction of the Mind Stone! Vision Was Completely Stunned!
Rayne had been run off his feet recently.
Anticipating that Purple Sweet Potato would soon come knocking, instead of enjoying life in Kamar-Taj, he went off scouring various dimensional spaces for materials like crazy.
To safely detach the Mind Stone, he dug out a specialized soul formation from the book of the vishanti.
Vision's structure was extremely bizarre.
Using a Vibranium body as hardware and the Mind Stoneas the core, his soul was actually just a bunch of data code composed of zeros and ones.
Once the stone was forcefully pulled out, the data would instantly crash, and Vision would be completely done for.
Rayne spent quite a bit of effort gathering the rare ores needed to set up the formation.
Returning to the sanctum, he piled the miscellaneous materials on the floor.
"Ding!"
"System detected that materials are complete, the soul stripping formation is beginning to construct!"
"Do you want to permanently solidify it into exclusive magic?"
"Confirm!" Rayne did not hesitate.
"Solidifying..."
A flash of dazzling light swept across his fingertips.
The bright light rapidly spread outward, and the rare materials on the ground melted like ice and snow, all swallowed up by the light.
After waiting a full half-hour, a very complex magic array finally formed on the floor.
Rayne waved his finger.
The magic array instantly shrank and burrowed directly into his body.
Everything was ready.
Rayne had someone lead Vision into the room.
"Vision, I'm going to take the yellow stone on your forehead." Rayne cut straight to the point.
Vision was stunned for a moment: "You found a way to safely detach it?"
"Yes, it won't harm your life." Rayne nodded, "However, after it's taken away, you'll have to find a new battery to power yourself. That shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"
Vision nodded in agreement, but a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "I only have one question. How can I be sure that after you take the Infinity Stones, you won't go and destroy the World?"
Rayne grinned.
Flipping his hand and waving it, three blinding Infinity Stones floated in mid-air simultaneously.
"Look closely, I already have three in my hands right now."
"The power of the Mind Stone cannot be considered the absolute top. If I really wanted to do evil, would I need to sit here and waste words with you?"
Vision fell silent.
Indeed.
The human mage in front of him was as strong as a monster. If he really wanted to snatch it by force, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
It really wasn't necessary to lie.
"Fine, I agree."
Vision was also a ruthless person; for the greater picture, he could even risk his life, let alone surrender his power, "What should I do?"
"Just sit there and don't move."
Rayne raised his right hand.
A golden formation disk the size of a fist appeared out of thin air.
As soon as the formation disk came out, Vision instantly widened his eyes.
He felt his electronic soul trembling violently!
This completely subverted his worldview.
He was essentially just an intelligent program, no different from a video file on a computer.
Even if the hardware was smashed to pieces, the data would only be destroyed along with it, and it would never produce a throb similar to "fear".
Yet this cluster of magic energy before him could actually transcend physical common sense and directly interfere with a piece of data code?
"What kind of means is this?"
Vision cried out in shock, "magic can actually directly tamper with virtual data in the physical World?"
Rayne curled his lip: "The awesomeness of magic far exceeds your imagination."
As soon as his voice fell, Rayne slapped the golden array onto Vision's forehead.
Hum!
The Mind Stone erupted with dazzling golden light.
Countless fine golden threads, resembling neural blood vessels, firmly took root inside the Vibranium body.
The power of the array penetrated inward.
In the blink of an eye, these fine golden threads were forcefully cut off, and the energy rapidly flowed back into the interior of the stone.
"Done." Rayne was very satisfied.
The soul and the stone completely severed contact.
Rayne's fingertips condensed a peerlessly sharp golden blade of light, thinner than the most precise scalpel.
He gently flicked it along Vision's forehead.
The supposedly indestructible Vibranium shell was like a piece of tender tofu in front of the magic blade of light, being cut open directly.
Snap.
With a crisp sound,
The Mind Stone fell off and steadily landed in Rayne's palm.
Losing its energy core, Vision's body instantly turned from dark red to ashen gray, as if it was about to run out of breath and shut down immediately.
Naturally, Rayne wouldn't let him break down completely.
With a casual grab, the surrounding massive amounts of cosmic energy frantically converged, compressing into a transparent, high-purity energy crystal.
Rayne backhanded the crystal into the groove on Vision's forehead.
Boom!
Vision was like a flashlight with brand-new batteries; his ashen body instantly recovered vibrant colors.
A few seconds later,
Vision abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock!
When he was sent out of Kamar-Taj, he was still in a daze.
What on Earth was the operational logic of Rayne's magic?
To actually be able to forcefully interfere with ethereal data?
The most outrageous part was that
Vision clearly perceived that after Rayne's tossing about, some miraculous qualitative change seemed to have occurred in this body of his.
He couldn't say exactly what had changed, he just felt that he was increasingly resembling a human.
With a head full of question marks, Vision wobbled away.
As for the removed Mind Stone,
Rayne had no intention of carrying it on his person at all.
He casually sealed this yellow stone in the deepest part of Mount Everest.
This place was filled with high-level restrictions of Kamar-Taj.
Wanting to take it out would require a lot of effort even for himself.
Thanos wanted to grab it by force?
That was harder than ascending to heaven.
After dealing with this mess,
Rayne activated his foresight cheat again.
However,
this time's feedback made him touch his chin with some surprise.
The images in his mind became extremely blurry, and even somewhat intermittent.
"Purple Sweet Potato is moving quite fast."
"It seems he has already gotten one or two stones."
Rayne pondered inwardly.
Foresight detection was like that; the opponent held a cosmic-level cheat in their hands, which naturally blocked out most of the snooping.
However,
there was one point Rayne could be certain of.
Thanos's army was about to arrive at the city gates.
Fighting Thanos single-handedly wouldn't make Rayne blink an eye.
But this guy also had an overwhelming biochemical army under his command.
If they really fought,
Earth, this crappy little place, would turn into scorched Earth in minutes.
To be safe, Rayne decided to call in some reinforcements.
Who was most suitable to find?
Of course it was Earth's biggest old fox who went around networking everywhere — Nick Fury.
Rayne closed his eyes.
Terrifying spiritual power, like a giant net, instantly enveloped the entire Earth.
One second later,
Rayne raised his eyebrows, full of astonishment.
"This old Hei Ludan is actually not on Earth?"
The technology of the Marvel Universe was indeed fierce.
Building a spaceship to go into space was completely routine operation.
But space was filled with interstellar pirates and unknown dangers, who among ordinary Earthlings would dare to wander around in space for no reason?
A stream of data flashed across Rayne's eyes.
Soon,
he precisely locked onto Nick Fury's specific coordinates.
This old brat
was actually hiding in low Earth orbit outside Earth's atmosphere!
And he had stealthily created a huge space fortress.
The scale was at least one-tenth the size of a Helicarrier.
Rayne's mouth twitched frantically.
"What the heck, this old fellow plans really far ahead."
"Is he already starting to secretly tinker with S.W.O.R.D. at this time?"
S.W.O.R.D. was the space defense line specially used to defend against alien threats after the Endgame in the original plot.
Unexpectedly, that old fox Nick Fury had already begun plotting a big game behind the scenes long ago.
Swish!
Rayne couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense and directly teleported with a flash.
The next second,
he appeared out of thin air in the core control room of the space Base.
"Tick! Tick! Tick!"
As soon as Rayne's feet landed, a piercing Level 1 alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire space station.
Red light flashed frantically.
The wall armor rapidly flipped, and dozens of heavy Gatling machine guns popped out in unison, their dark muzzles locking tightly onto Rayne's head.
Chapter 132: The Director just finished bragging? The alien warship slaps him in the face at the speed of light!
"Fury, this hospitality of yours is a bit embarrassing."
Ryan glanced at the surrounding metal spears and couldn't help shaking his head in mockery.
"What kind of good person fills their office with heavy machine guns?"
"In case it accidentally goes off, wouldn't your black head be shot into a hornet's nest on the spot?"
Behind the desk.
Nick Fury's sole remaining eye stared fixedly at Ryan.
"Judging by your entrance, Your Excellency, you don't look like a proper guest either."
"Of course I am a guest."
"I just dropped by today to bring you some free intelligence."
Ryan didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, swaggeringly pulling out a chair and plopping down opposite Nick Fury.
Nick Fury appeared as steady as Mount Tai on the surface.
But in his heart, monstrous waves had long since surged.
Ryan appeared without the slightest warning!
The dense radars and early warning systems on the periphery of the space station didn't even make a peep.
It was simply outrageous to the extreme.
If the other party harbored killing intent, he would already be a dead man now.
Nick Fury knew very well that these surrounding heavy machine guns were completely useless against a freak of this level.
He decisively raised his hand and waved.
All weapons instantly retracted into the gaps in the wall.
"What brings Mr. Ryan here, and what is your instruction?"
"Considering how many times Your Excellency has saved Earth, I am all ears."
Nick Fury spoke in a deep voice.
He hated this sense of powerlessness when things got out of control more than anything.
"No need to be nervous."
"I'm just here to inform you that a catastrophe is about to befall Earth."
Ryan cut straight to the point.
Nick Fury frowned and said coldly:
"Mr. Ryan, if you're here to alarmistly sensationalize, there's no need."
"When has Earth ever truly been safe?"
As the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had seen no fewer than eighty or a hundred doomsday crises.
His mindset had long since been trained to remain unruffled.
"This time is different."
"The mastermind behind the last Battle of New York is about to step into the field in person."
"The Chitauri are merely the most trashy batch of cannon fodder in his hands."
"When he actually leads his main force to slaughter over, Earth will turn into space garbage in a matter of minutes."
"I advise you to quickly contact more thugs and prepare your defense lines in advance."
Ryan's tone was relaxed, but the content was extremely explosive.
Nick Fury's expression changed slightly.
"What evidence do you have to prove everything you said?"
"I am standing right here, which is the best evidence." Ryan spread his hands.
"Absurd!"
"Does Your Excellency think I would sound the global highest alert just because of your casual remark?"
Nick Fury narrowed his single eye, appearing extremely stubborn.
"Cut the act, Director My Lord."
"If you really think I'm talking nonsense, why spend so much money to build this space station?"
"Could it be to sit in the sky and count the stars?"
"With this lousy Base of yours, the construction cost probably burns more money than a hundred S.H.I.E.L.D.branches on the ground."
Ryan pierced through the other party's disguise with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Nick Fury's old face stiffened, and suddenly he couldn't hold on.
Ryan had hit right on his weak spot.
He indeed had a strong sense of crisis, which was why he smashed pots and sold iron to secretly build this space outpost.
But it wasn't completely finished yet, and couldn't form effective combat power at all.
Even if you lose, you don't lose the momentum.
Nick Fury braced himself and refuted resolutely:
"I built this Base precisely to keep the enemy outside the atmosphere!"
"As long as S.W.O.R.D. is here, absolutely no alien spaceship will be able to swagger into Earth like last time!"
Old Hei Ludan's words were resounding and full of aura.
Just at this moment.
The encrypted communicator on the desk suddenly rang.
"Director!"
"An unidentified giant flying object suddenly appeared above New York!"
Agent Hill's anxious voice came through the speaker.
The air in the control room instantly quieted down.
The brag Nick Fury had just blown was still floating in mid-air without landing, only to be slapped in the face by his subordinate at the speed of light.
This facial slap was simply louder than a Super Saiyan transformation.
Nick Fury's mouth twitched frantically.
He forcefully held back the urge to smash the communicator.
"Make it clear, what on Earth is going on!"
"Director, a circular alien warship directly broke through all our blockade radars and is now hovering in downtown Manhattan!"
Pfft.
Ryan on the opposite side really couldn't hold it in and almost laughed out loud.
Nick Fury only felt that the soles of his feet were burning at this moment.
...
Meanwhile.
The huge disc warship pressed heavily over the sky of New York City.
Below were crowds of people screaming and fleeing endlessly.
New York citizens were usually used to big scenes, but today they were frightened out of their wits, wishing they had two extra legs to run away.
The sky-blocking warship pressed lower and lower. If this thing really crashed into the downtown area, who knows how many blocks would be leveled; it was simply a heaven-destroying and Earth-shattering catastrophe.
Seeing that the spaceship was about to hit the spire of the Empire State Building.
A dazzling golden light burst out of thin air in mid-air!
The huge spaceship hit an invisible Wall of Sighs, stopping dead in mid-air.
The next second.
With a flash of golden light, the giant warship directly vanished out of thin air!
The New York citizens below collectively rubbed their eyes, full of question marks.
Such a huge alien spaceship turned into nothingness like magic? What the hell is going on!
The outside world was in utter chaos. Ryan, however, was not idle.
He directly brought Strange, who was stationed at the New York Sanctum, and forcibly dragged the spaceship into the Mirror Dimension.
Strange had progressed by leaps and bounds over the past two years, and his strength was long since no less than that of a veteran Archmage. Had it not been for Ryan holding him down, he would definitely have been Kamar-Taj's number one genius.
Today happened to be Strange's shift, so Ryan conveniently dragged him into the battlefield.
Inside the Mirror Dimension.
Aside from Ryan and Strange, there wasn't even a ghost of a shadow.
Right in front was an alien spaceship resembling a mountain.
Ryan raised his head and shouted with a casual expression:
"Stop hiding, get the hell out. What's the point of shrinking inside a tortoise shell?"
"How truly impolite."
"Are you Earthlings so clueless about rules?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice came out.
Following that.
A thin bamboo pole looking like a Shar-Pei leisurely floated out from the cabin door.
Behind him followed a small giant holding a giant axe.
Ryan recognized their origins at a glance.
Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf.
Thanos's capable generals. Don't look at how aggrieved these two died in the movies; looking across the entire Universe, they could definitely be considered pillars of strength. Ebony Maw was even a ruthless character capable of soloing Doctor Strange.
Looking at the two putting on airs opposite him, Ryan's face was full of mockery:
"Rules?"
"When friends come, there is fine wine; when enemies come, there is a hunting rifle. What etiquette is there to speak of with you lot?"
Purple light flickered in Ryan's hands, ready to strike at any moment.
Strange beside him pulled with both hands, directly pulling out two shining Magic Shields.
"Fighting and killing the moment we meet, how barbaric."
Ebony Maw raised a withered finger and placed it against his lips, shaking his head sinisterly.
"Barbaric?"
"You lot, a bunch of executioners slaughtering across the Universe, have the nerve to mention these two words?" Ryan directly retorted.
"No, no, no, we are not executioners; we are saving all living things."
"In order to maintain universal balance, some sacrifices are inevitable." Ebony Maw's face was full of fanaticism.
Ryan curled his lip.
Beyond saving; this old fellow had been completely brainwashed by Thanos.
Talking nonsense with this kind of severe psychiatric patient was a complete waste of saliva; just butchering him directly was the most trouble-free way.
Ryan raised his hand and delivered a slash.
The violent purple blade of light tore through the air, shooting straight toward Ebony Maw's face.
The air in front of Ebony Maw suddenly rippled like water waves.
Terrifying mental psychokinesis poured out.
The sharp purple blade of light was actually frozen dead in mid-air, and then twisted into countless fragments by the psychokinesis!
Ryan raised an eyebrow.
Not bad, this old dog's psychokinesis was indeed quite powerful; it seemed he couldn't underestimate the enemy too much.
"Quite a big temper."
"Aren't you curious why I bothered chatting idly with you for so long?"
A bizarre smile suddenly surfaced on Ebony Maw's face.
As soon as his voice fell.
Ryan clearly perceived that the surrounding energy magnetic field had changed.
The cosmic energy of the entire space instantly became lifeless, as if firmly pressed down by a pair of invisible giant hands, completely unable to be mobilized.
However.
Ryan exerted a little force and found that as long as he wanted to, he could still forcibly extract energy.
Strange beside him had it miserable.
magic failed on the spot, and the cool shield in his hand directly turned into tiny sparks that dissipated in the air.
"What is going on! All the magic elements are dead!" Strange exclaimed in shock, his face full of horror.
Ebony Maw smiled even more smugly:
"When dealing with prey, one always has to make some preparations in advance."
"How does the Kree Empire's large-scale ability suppressor taste?"
"Now you guys can't even rub out a little flame, while my psychokinesis is not affected at all!"
Ebony Maw raised the mechanical bracelet on his wrist.
Spiritual power erupted.
The rubble on the ground instantly suspended into the sky, turning into sharp stone cones filling the sky. As long as he raised his hand, Ryan and the other would be pierced into a hornet's nest in minutes.
Ryan only then reacted.
Supreme Intelligence's high-tech gadget could even control Captain Marvel, no wonder it was so arrogant.
Unfortunately, high tech is completely useless against a cheater.
Just at this moment.
"Ding!"
"Your Vishanti Sacred Chains have been cooped up at home and strongly demand to come out for some fresh air!"
"Your Vishanti Sacred Chains took a clear look at the opposite Shar-Pei's appearance, were greatly shocked, and decided to spell out the word 'ugly' on the ground to mock him!"
"Your Vishanti Sacred Chains are in high spirits, and their power is significantly enhanced!"
Listening to the system prompt in his mind.
Ryan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
What kind of psycho magic is this! Fighting a battle even comes with personal attacks?
Jokes aside, let's see the real deal in action.
Ryan waved his hands fiercely.
Boom!
Hundreds of thick, dazzling golden chains roared out directly from behind, dancing wildly with teeth and claws in mid-air!
Ebony Maw on the opposite side was dumbfounded on the spot.
His dead fish eyes stared round.
The machine is broken?!
He suddenly turned his head to look at the spaceship in mid-air. There's nothing wrong with it, the suppressor is running perfectly!
How is it possible to still use magic?
Unreconciled, he took off the crowd-control-immunity bracelet on his wrist, and his psychokinesis instantly disappeared. Putting it back on, his psychokinesis came back.
The machine definitely has no problem!
But why isn't this kid opposite affected by the slightest restriction?!
Ebony Maw's forehead was full of question marks, and he was completely messed up.
Chapter 133: Best Actor Ebony Maw? Ten thousand chains will teach you a lesson!
People always feel like their worldview collapses at a certain moment.
Ebony Maw was experiencing this kind of despair right now.
He was completely dumbfounded.
His mind was filled with huge question marks.
How did the top-tier black technology of the Kree Empiresuddenly turn into a pile of scrap metal?
This was supposedly the absolute domain capable of imprisoning all supernatural powers!
Let alone him, Ebony Maw.
Even if the great Universe overlord Thanos himself stood here, he would have half of his strength suppressed raw!
But what about Ryan right in front of him?
Not only was there not the slightest sign of him being weakened, but the magic pressure he exuded became increasingly terrifying, making one's scalp tingle from the suppression.
Ebony Maw roared wildly in his heart.
Could this unweaned brat in front of him be even fiercer than the great My Lord Thanos?
Absolutely impossible!
Before he could swallow his shock back into his stomach, Ryan had already made a move.
Hundreds of dazzling golden chains behind him, like poisonous snakes coming out of their caves, headed straight for their faces to strangle them.
Seeing that the magic tips were about to smash onto his face, Ebony Maw suddenly snapped back to his senses.
"Want to catch me?"
Violent telekinetic power descended with a roar like a breached flood.
The magic chains fired by Ryan were actually blocked abruptly in mid-air by an invisible telekinetic wall.
"A bit interesting."
Sensing this concentrated mental power, Ryan hooked the corner of his mouth into a playful smile.
"Your strength is passable."
"Hehe."
"Earthling, you can still cast magic casually while carrying a suppressor; you really opened my eyes."
Ebony Maw gritted his back teeth and forced himself to reply.
Before coming, they had checked into Ryan's background and knew this kid was weird, so they specially installed the highest-spec suppression equipment in the spaceship.
Who could have thought that this preparation was completely fed to the dogs.
Ryan wasn't affected by the slightest bit at all!
Now they could only go head-to-head.
Facing the bottomless Ryan, Ebony Maw actually had no confidence in his heart at all.
His heart was panicking like crazy, but his mouth was as hard as a rock.
He tried his utmost strength to desperately withstand the impact of the chains, yet on his face, he deliberately put on a detached, master-like demeanor of holding victory in his hands.
Looking at Ryan on the opposite side instead,
he directly let out a big yawn out of boredom.
"Direct confrontation with me?"
"Who on Earth gave you the courage?"
Ryan glared.
A heaven-destroying, Earth-shattering terrifying aura smashed towards Ebony Maw like Mount Tai crushing the top.
Ebony Maw's legs suddenly went soft, almost kneeling on the ground on the spot.
Even though his bones were trembling, he still maintained a stubborn expression.
"Hmph, nothing much!"
"With just this bit of skill, you are simply not worthy of being an opponent to My Lord Thanos!"
Ebony Maw was full of mysterious self-confidence.
Watching the other party's pretentious look, Ryan instead fell into contemplation.
This old dog could actually endure this much?
This completely defied common sense!
In the movie, this guy was as fragile as a piece of paper, directly thrown into space to freeze to death alive, simply the shame of the villain World.
For Universe-level powerhouses, even being thrown into a star for a bath was no big deal, how could they possibly freeze to death?
Looking at it now, Ebony Maw was much stronger than portrayed in the movie, and his telekinetic reserve was quite astonishing!
"It seems I need to turn up the heat a bit."
With a thought in Ryan's mind, the suggestion skill increased its output.
"Ding!"
"Your Chains of Vishanti feel that their pretense failed and feel extremely embarrassed!"
"Your Chains of Vishanti are completely enraged!"
"The power of your Chains of Vishanti has doubled, and their quantity has surged without an upper limit!"
As soon as the system's crisp notification sound ended,
Swish, swish, swish!!!
Golden light flourished behind Ryan, and over ten thousand thick golden chains exploded into existence out of thin air!
The densely packed chains directly intertwined behind Ryan into a magnificent Wall of Sighs.
Seeing this array, Ebony Maw
was scared out of his wits on the spot.
He was already at the end of his tether just now, stubbornly holding on purely out of saving face and suffering for it.
Facing Ryan's firepower that suddenly surged a hundredfold,
Ebony Maw was like a small ant under the wheels of a large truck.
Thud.
His knees went soft, and he knelt on the ground very decisively.
Ryan scratched his head with a puzzled look.
He hadn't even started yet, why did he directly perform a grand bow?
Meeting Ryan's puzzled gaze, Ebony Maw was filled with shame and indignation to the point of despair.
He didn't want to kneel either!
But the force pressing down from above was too terrifying, his knees had thoughts of their own!
Fortunately, his shar-pei-like face couldn't show any blush at all, perfectly concealing his inner awkwardness.
Without turning red or his heart beating, Ebony Mawspoke shamelessly:
"I stood too long, so I'm kneeling down to rest for a while."
"The custom of our race is to rest like this."
Hearing this nonsense.
Black Dwarf, who had always been following behind as a background board, was completely bewildered.
What the hell kind of racial custom!
The angle of your excuse is way too bizarre!
This made him very awkward right now: should he follow along and kneel down to rest for a bit, or continue standing there stupidly?
Everyone is part of the Black Order, yet you knelt down first before the other party even made a move—you've thrown away all dignity to the ends of the Earth!
However, saving face was a minor matter, preserving life was a major one.
Black Dwarf was very clear about this in his heart.
The most critical thing now was how to survive!
This power was simply not something they could contend against; even if Thanos came in person, he would probably be in deep trouble.
At this time, Ebony Maw still stiffened his neck, putting on the heroic stance of a warrior ready to face death unflinchingly.
His expression was filled with unyielding defiance and resoluteness.
It made even Ryan begin to doubt himself: just who on Earth was the bad guy who came running to invade?
Now Ryan finally saw it clearly.
This old dog was simply a combat power of five.
Right now, he was just a little chick that could be manipulated at will.
Blame it on himself for not fighting normal people for too long, having a bit of deviation in his understanding of his own strength, plus this fellow Ebony Maw's acting skills were comparable to an Oscar Best Actor, almost bluffing him.
"Ebony Maw."
"You truly live up to being the leader of the Black Order."
"With skin this thick, following Thanos is truly letting your talents go to waste."
Ryan complained with a helpless face.
Truly a talent, his acting was too realistic.
But he had already seen through the other party's trick; this fellow was clearly stalling for time.
"However, what's the use of you exerting so much effort?"
"Whose time are you trying to buy here?"
Ryan questioned with great interest.
Seeing his lie exposed, Ebony Maw simply stopped pretending.
Pfft!
A large mouthful of thick blood sprayed out directly.
Obviously, from forcibly resisting the magic pressure earlier, his internal organs had long been severely injured, and he was relying purely on a single breath to hang on.
Now that he was exposed, this breath leaked out, and naturally he couldn't hold on anymore.
"Hahahaha!"
"Earth's powerhouse, nothing much!"
"Do you really think only the two of us came to Earth?"
"Right now, they probably flew far away with the Infinity Stones long ago!"
"Everything is too late!"
"My Lord Thanos's ultimate ideal is about to be realized, and all of you will usher in redemption!"
Ebony Maw sprayed blood wildly while laughing loudly.
As if his conspiracy had succeeded, he threw even his own life and death to the nine heavens.
Looking at the other party's manic appearance, Ryan hooked the corner of his mouth into a teasing smile.
"What makes you think—"
"—that I haven't made any preparations?"
The wild laughter on Ebony Maw's face instantly froze.
Replaced by unconcealable astonishment and deep self-doubt...
Chapter 134: IQ Crushed? Ebony Maw's Defense Broken, Detonates on the Spot!
Thanos was a shrewd and cunning overlord.
Having climbed to the position of a warlord in the Universe, using the lives of others' family members and entire civilizations as threats to achieve his goals was simply business as usual for him.
The Black Order under his command were birds of a feather, even more adept at playing dirty tricks than drinking water.
Ebony Maw had initially counted on the Kree Empire's suppressor to stab people in the back, but ended up kicking a titanium-alloy steel plate instead.
Seeing that he couldn't win the fight, he simply resorted to talking nonsense to stall for time, allowing his teammates to sneak attack the base.
The routine was perfect, but unfortunately, he met the wrong person.
Ryan was no fool.
How could he possibly be calculated by such low-level tricks?
He stared at Ebony Maw, who was kneeling on the ground coughing up blood, with a playful expression:
"Ebony Maw, do you really think I know nothing about you guys in the Black Order?"
"Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Supergiant, and you along with Black Dwarf."
"Even your underwear has been stripped clean, do you think I would be completely unprepared?"
Ryan smiled and dropped a bombshell.
Hearing Ryan accurately report the personnel configuration, a hoarse sound like a broken bellows came from Ebony Maw's throat.
"Even knowing the intelligence in advance is useless."
"There are simply no top powerhouses on Earth who can stop them."
"You are indeed a monster, but after all, you can't be in two places at once; you're only one person!"
"Hehe, everything is in vain!"
While coughing up blood, Ebony Maw tightly stuck to his story.
"I am only one person?"
Ryan shrugged nonchalantly.
"Who told you that I am only one person?"
"There is indeed only one main body, but that doesn't mean I can't appear in other places at the same time."
As soon as the words fell.
Swish!
A burst of space distorted beside Ryan, directly splitting out two identical figures.
Ikon Illusion!
Hundreds or thousands of clones casting ultimate moves together really consumed a lot of mana.
However, casually pinching dozens of clones and throwing them at key locations to guard the base was simply too easy.
Just beneath Mount Everest, where the Mind Stone was sealed, Ryan had stuffed ten clones in advance!
Specifically to guard against Thanos and his sneaky gang stealing the base.
Ryan looked down at Ebony Maw condescendingly.
Dumbfounded now, aren't you? Grandpa knows shadow clones.
"Hehe, stop playing God and acting like a ghost here!"
"Don't even think about tricking me, this is just a magical illusion that shatters at a single touch!"
"Supergiant has long since drained the memories of you Earth mages!"
"magic clones have no substantive combat power at all, and once they leave the main body, they dissipate immediately. Trying to fool me is simply impossible!"
Although Ebony Maw was coughing blood, a sense of superiority of IQ crushing surfaced on his face.
As Thanos's number one strategist, he was extremely confident in intelligence analysis.
In order to attack Earth, they had captured several apprentices of Kamar-Taj.
After reading the memories, Supergiant had long since figured out the ins and outs of Earth's magic.
Illusion clones must rely on the main body to maintain them nearby; far away from the main body, they were just a mass of air!
Ebony Maw concluded that Ryan was just putting up a bluff.
Watching the other party's face full of mysterious confidence, Ryan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This guy's train of thought was really bizarre, treating outdated intelligence as a treasure.
"Ebony Maw."
"I thought you were the smartest among the Black Order, but now it seems I overestimated you."
"Facing an enemy who is almost dead, what necessity is there for me to trick you?"
"Comparing me with ordinary mages is the biggest mistake you've ever made in your life."
"Ding!"
"Your Ikon Illusion sensed that the enemy's IQ was in arrears, and decided to personally step down to slap their face!"
"Your Ikon Illusion forcibly injected will and successfully split into a 'True Clone'!"
"Your clone's duration skyrocketed without an upper limit, and it fully shared massive amounts of mana with the main body!"
The system's crisp prompt tone rang out on time.
A confident smile curled up the corner of Ryan's mouth.
He raised his hand and slashed casually in mid-air.
A holographic light screen instantly popped up.
In the picture were precisely Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight from the Black Order.
These two were fighting fiercely with several superheroes from the Avengers.
And one thousand meters high above the battlefield.
A true clone of Ryan was leisurely floating in the clouds watching the show, and not a single one of the people fighting to the death below noticed it at all!
"This is impossible!!!"
After seeing the picture clearly, Ebony Maw's eyeballs stared so hard they were about to pop out of their sockets, filled with terrifying bloodshot veins.
Puff!
A large mouthful of thick blood spewed out once more.
The fact before his eyes completely shattered his psychological defense line.
"Why is this happening!!"
Ebony Maw's face was full of despair and unwillingness.
Before the operation, they had made full contingency plans, even calculating the plan for his own sacrifice to stall for time.
But everything turned into a joke!
It was fine that Ryan's combat power was off the charts.
Such perverted magic that could split out a true physical body and ignore distance restrictions had never even been heard of in the Universe!
Legend had it that only high-dimensional gods could barely manage it relying on astral projection, how on Earthcould this kid do it!
"Tch."
"If unwillingness could change the facts, there wouldn't be so many damned things happening in the Universe long ago."
Ryan looked full of disdain.
He turned his head and glanced at Black Dwarf, who was acting as a background board in the back.
Could this guy be willingly acting as a dog for Thanos? He was just beaten into submission.
What the hell is the use of impotent rage? In the end, it all depends on whose fists are harder.
"No!"
"You don't understand the great ultimate cause!"
Ebony Maw, who was filled with utter despair, suddenly pulled a weirdly distorted smile at the corner of his mouth.
Bang!
Without any warning.
Ebony Maw's entire person burst on the spot directly like a ripe watermelon!
The ground was covered in a bloody and blurry mosaic.
Rotten meat and bloody gore directly smeared all over Black Dwarf's head and face in the back, making him as disheveled as could be.
Ryan frowned in disgust, taking two steps back to avoid the splashing blood and water.
What kind of madness is this old guy acting out?
If you can't beat them, you play dirty?
Detonating himself without a word, is he conspiring to disgust him before he dies?
Ryan stepped back two steps in disgust, avoiding the splashing blood.
But how terrifying was his massive spiritual power? It could even directly interfere with reality.
Soon, his brows furrowed slightly as he noticed something was wrong.
Ebony Maw's aura was not completely dead yet!
"Did you notice?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from behind.
Ryan suddenly turned his head.
It turned out to be Strange behind him who was speaking!
At this time, Strange's eyes were dull, his expression was stiff, completely like a marionette.
Ryan wasn't scared at all; instead, he raised an eyebrow, full of curiosity:
"What kind of messy black magic is this of yours?"
Spiritual power instantly enveloped Strange.
Ryan found that Strange's own aura had been completely replaced.
It was simply like a different person!
"Haha!"
"A brute like you simply doesn't understand!"
"For our great race, the flesh is merely a burden, and the soul is eternal!"
Ebony Maw clamored wildly through Strange's mouth.
This move was exactly the same as body seizure in cultivation novels.
After completely taking control of the physical body, the micro-expressions on Strange's face became vivid and smug.
"Now."
"What can you do to me?"
"If you dare to make a move, this little mage will have to be buried with me!"
Ebony Maw laughed arrogantly.
He felt that victory was in his grasp.
Not being able to beat him was one thing, but as long as he held the hostage, he could control Ryan!
He had thoroughly studied Earthlings, and concluded that these self-proclaimed righteous superheroes would never sacrifice a comrade for the sake of a gemstone.
This wave not only allowed him to get the Infinity Stones.
But also get a fresh, top-quality physical body for free! It was an absolute bloody profit!
Watching Ebony Maw's complacent look, Ryan's expression was as bizarre as could be.
"Do you really think you've got me in the bag?"
Ryan looked at him as if looking at a mentally disabled person.
"The stones, or his life, choose for yourself!"
"I guess you surely can't bear to watch your companion die, right?"
Ebony Maw's voice became increasingly sinister.
Ryan curled his lips.
Strange was much older than him, yet calling him a little mage left and right felt really awkward.
Furthermore, who gave this old dog the illusion that Strange was a soft persimmon to be manipulated at will?
The current Strange was not a rookie in the movie who only knew how to draw circles.
After Ryan's devilish training, although this guy couldn't compare to himself, beating ordinary Archmages was as easy as play for him.
Chapter 135: General Corvus? Your telekinesis master has long since turned to ash!"
"Everything you said is right."
"Yet what makes you think you can easily handle Strange?"
Ryan's tone was calm.
Ebony Maw was just about to continue shouting arrogantly.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically!
To his horror, he found that the bodily control he had just acquired could no longer move!
An even more overbearing force was recapturing the ground!
"What is going on?!"
"I clearly sealed off his soul!"
Ebony Maw was so anxious his voice cracked.
"Strange was personally taught by yours truly."
Ryan crossed his arms and spat out a sentence like he was watching a show.
What a ridiculous joke.
With the system's blessing, coupled with personal instructions in all sorts of perverted magic, Strange had long since been reborn.
"Want to possess him? Keep dreaming!"
Ebony Maw completely panicked.
In despair, he discovered that his soul was being pinned to the ground and rubbed fiercely by a violent mental power, and then layers of seals directly covered down!
"Impossible!"
"How could his soul possibly be this strong?!"
Ebony Maw's eyes were filled with unfathomable fear.
"Because I taught him."
Ryan added another knife.
After hearing this, Ebony Maw was almost so angry he died on the spot.
It was one thing that Ryan was a monster, but why was the disciple he taught also so perverted!
His invincible mental power, of which he was so proud, couldn't suppress a junior mage! This was unreasonable!
Unfortunately, no one listened to his inner impotent rage.
Strange instantly regained dominance, his mental power turning into a meat grinder, directly grinding Ebony Maw's soul into powder.
Thanos's number one strategist died so aggrievedly inside an apprentice's body.
"Well done."
Ryan nodded in appreciation.
Upon hearing the praise, Strange was almost moved to tears.
Usually, Ryan's eyes were higher than the top, looking at everyone as combat power of five, but today he actually made an exception to praise him!
"Thank you, Teacher, I will definitely continue to practice diligently!" Strange immediately expressed his stance.
Ryan patted his shoulder:
"Pay attention in the future, as a close-combat mage, don't let dirty things into your body so casually."
Strange suddenly felt a chill down his back and hurriedly nodded frantically.
After dealing with the small fry, Ryan turned to look at the trembling Black Dwarf aside.
Meeting Ryan's gaze, Black Dwarf's knees softened, and he knocked his head directly on the gravel.
"Great Mage!"
"I am willing to swear allegiance to you, please spare my life!"
"My home planet needs me to protect it!"
Black Dwarf kowtowed frantically for mercy.
As the strongest warrior of his clan, he acted as a dog for Thanos only to preserve his civilization; once he died, his home planet would surely face a catastrophe.
"Sorry."
"No."
Ryan raised his hand expressionlessly.
Black Dwarf didn't even have time to let out a scream.
A dazzling purple light flashed, and this tank with the most durable physical body in the Black Order was directly blasted into a wisp of light slag.
When the wind blew, nothing was left.
"Rest assured, once Thanos dies, your civilization will naturally be safe."
"But the crimes you committed must ultimately be paid for with your life."
Ryan withdrew his hand, his tone completely without ripples.
On the other side.
Thanos was indeed an old fox.
On the surface, he sent Ebony Maw to attract firepower in New York, but behind the scenes, he sent Corvus Glaiveand Proxima Midnight to Vision's territory.
Pulling out all his old foundation was entirely to seize the Mind Stone.
Don't look at how touching these couples' combat power was in the movies, being pinned to the ground and fiercely rubbed by the Avengers.
In reality, these two were absolute humanoid beasts.
Corvus Glaive held a transcendent status in the Black Order, completely able to rival Ebony Maw.
The peerless battle blade in his hand was integrated with his soul.
As long as the battle blade was not broken, even if his physical body was blown into slag, he could resurrect with full health, truly an undying cockroach.
The divine spear in Proxima Midnight's hand was a killing weapon personally crafted by Thanos.
The tip of the spear could fire Death rays.
As long as they touched a trace of light, ordinary people would die on the spot.
Even if it were replaced by ordinary superheroes like Hawkeye or Black Widow, there would be absolutely no possibility of surviving a hit.
At most, cosmic big shots of the level of Ancient One or Odin could hard-resist a few times.
Facing such a level of perverted duo.
The Avengers are currently in a rather difficult situation.
Hulk and Thor were neither on Earth, directly missing two of the fiercest output core nuclei.
Fortunately, Ryan plucked the stone on Vision's forehead in advance, and Tony Stark casually made an identical backup battery for Vision to make up the numbers.
Otherwise, Vision would have been lying dead long ago.
Coupled with the newly joined Wanda.
Although the little girl's combat experience was very green, the destructive power of Chaos Magic was simply too defying against the heavens.
Relying on a fierce drive of newborn calves not being afraid of tigers, she forcibly supported half the sky.
The battle situation fell into a deadlock.
Corvus Glaive's heart grew more and more anxious.
How long Ebony Maw could hold out was completely unknown.
He had to make a quick decision and get the stone as soon as possible!
Seeing that he couldn't break through the defense line no matter what, Corvus Glaive simply hardened his heart and completely fell into madness.
Carrying his battle blade, he directly ignored the frantic bombardment of Tony and Vision.
Risking the price of his armor shattering and blood spewing all over his body, he hard-topped the artillery fire and sprinted all the way, fixing his gaze dead on Captain America.
This was completely a mad dog playing style of perishing together!
The battle blade had a perverted attribute: the more people killed, the stronger Corvus Glaive's strength would be.
As long as he hugged Captain America and stabbed through both of their bodies with one blade!
Captain America would die on the spot, and relying on the battle blade, he could reshape his physical body in the blink of an eye!
Corvus Glaive smiled grimly, pouncing out fiercely from the sky-filling artillery fire.
Directly grabbed and hugged Captain America tightly!
Without any hesitation, he gripped the battle blade tightly with both hands and stabbed fiercely at the chests of the two!
Seeing that blood was about to splatter on the spot.
The ecstatic joy on Corvus Glaive's face instantly froze.
It couldn't be stabbed down!
The battle blade in his hand was frozen in mid-air as if by strong glue, unable to move even a millimeter.
Corvus Glaive's face turned flushed red, and the veins on his forehead jumped wildly.
Using all his strength, the weapon still didn't move at all.
"Damn it!"
"Who is plotting against me!"
"Daring to oppose us, My Lord Thanos will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
Corvus Glaive roared out in exasperation.
"Thanos?"
"Just a turtle hiding in the depths of the Universe."
A mocking voice sounded out of thin air.
Immediately after, an irresistible huge force struck, forcibly twisting Corvus Glaive's body around.
In his line of sight.
Ryan was hands in pockets, leisurely appearing on the ruins.
"It's you!"
Corvus Glaive's eyeballs were almost popping out, full of astonishment.
"Hello, Corvus... No."
"I should call you General Corvus."
Ryan greeted with a grin.
"Bullshit!!"
"How could you appear here!"
Corvus Glaive cursed angrily.
Just after cursing, a violent storm suddenly surged in his heart.
How could Ryan appear on this out-of-the-way farm?
After the Civil War, even other Avengers didn't know the news of Vision and his wife living in seclusion.
Could it be that Ebony Maw fled before the battle and betrayed My Lord Thanos?
This completely defied logic!
"What?"
"You wouldn't really expect an ugly monster looking like a Shar Pei to be able to stop me, would you?"
Ryan had a full expression of looking at a mentally retarded person, mocking unmercifully.
Upon hearing these words.
Corvus Glaive was struck by lightning, and the whole person was completely stunned.
He finally realized a most terrifying possibility.
Being able to make Ryan appear here without any obstruction.
The only explanation was that Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf had already been completely wiped out!
Corvus Glaive stared dead at Ryan, and deep in his eyes finally emerged unconcealable fear.
Ebony Maw was a telekinesis master who shocked the Universe, with endless life-saving methods.
What kind of monster was Ryan to be able to beat Ebony Maw to Death alive in such a short time?!
