## Chapter 330: Ganging Up
Boom! Thousands of tons of force slammed onto Ghost Rider's body, his bones almost instantly shattering into dust.
The flame-like Spirit of Vengeance instantly spread upwards, clinging like glue to his bone-dust body.
Boom! Thanos threw another punch. This time, Thanos used the power of the Soul Stone. A torrent of orange energy, like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, continuously erupted from Thanos's clenched fist. Johnny's body and the flame-like Spirit of Vengeance directly turned into dust, leaving behind only a flame-covered skull that was sent flying dozens of kilometers away by the force of Thanos's punch.
A winged demon hovered in mid-air. Seeing the skull that was sent flying, it was the first among its kind to swoop down. Flapping its fleshy membranes, before Johnny's skull landed, it extended a pair of claws from beneath its fleshy membranes and grabbed Ghost Rider's remnant skull in its hand. It flapped its flesh wings and flew far away to stand before King Ghidorah.
It presented the pale white skull, which still carried a faint gleam of firelight in its eye sockets.
King Ghidorah's three golden vertical pupils stared cruelly at the little snack before it. In its nasal cavity, there was a faint flicker of scorching white lightning, as if it was about to shoot out a powerful electric current the next moment, turning this winged demon into charred remains.
A long whip covered in spikes, as agile as a snake, extended and retracted, coiling up Johnny's remaining skull from the winged demon's hand.
"This is the power of the Soul Stone that even he coveted!"
Hela examined the dying remnant soul within Johnny's skull in her palm. The Spirit of Vengeance is very famous in all Dimensional Realms.
The most important reason for this is that it is very difficult to destroy. Even Mephisto, who created Ghost Rider, had no method to destroy his Knight. He could only wait until the Knight he chose died of old age before finding the next host for the Spirit of Vengeance.
But now, with just one punch, the Spirit of Vengeance was beaten until it was like a candle in the wind.
Is this the power of the Infinity Stone? The plum blossom mark on Hela's forehead flashed with streaks of light as she looked at the skull in her hand that was gradually showing signs of extinguishing.
She furrowed her eyebrows. With a flick of the leather whip in her hand, the magic tool long whip woven from demonic dragon tendons mixed with gold threads whipped fiercely onto King Ghidorah's left dragon head.
A black and red whip shadow directly whipped a piece of dragon scale on King Ghidorah's head into dust. That dragon head twitched in pain from the whip that reached its soul. It opened its mouth and spat out the winged demon it had just secretly held in its mouth.
King Ghidorah's middle and right dragon heads stretched out their necks, leaned towards the left dragon head, and let out bursts of dragon's roar, mocking the fellow who tried to eat alone and got whipped.
Hela coiled her leather whip. An egg-sized Demon Heart Core was thrown out, landing at the feet of the winged demon covered in dragon saliva.
Looking at the Demon Heart Core at its feet, which was like a ruby and still warm, that winged demon, which had almost become dragon dung, directly grabbed the Demon Heart Core and stuffed it into its mouth.
Accompanied by low growls, after devouring the Demon Heart Core bestowed by Hela, fine black scales grew on this weak winged demon's fleshy membranes. Beneath the fleshy membranes, another pair of chilling claws were slowly growing.
However, no one cared about the changes in this low-level demonic creature.
Hela gazed into the distance at the center of the battlefield. Thanos, holding the Soul Stone in his hand, seemed to have turned into a lighthouse. Wherever the orange light passed, countless Demon Army soldiers fell to the ground in unison.
Before Hela, thirty-six human-head skull oil lamps emitted faint phosphorescent fire. Around the flickering phosphorescent firelight, vaguely, there were countless monstrous creatures with ferocious faces, naked little figures covered in foul blood, bobbing up and down erratically, yet making no sound, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, as if they were illusions. It was truly as if Avīci Hell had come to the Mortal Realm.
These thirty-six skull lamps were refined by Hela using the magic recorded in the Blood Scripture. The souls of the people she killed would all be imprisoned within the lamps. As lamp spirits, these lamp spirits, nourished by the accumulation of resentment, were all extremely ferocious. Once released, they would be ten thousand ghosts devouring bodies, extremely formidable.
At this moment, Hela released the thirty-six skull lamps not to kill enemies. Blood-colored lamp oil flowed from the thirty-six skull lamps into Ghost Rider's remnant skull.
Nourished by the lamp oil, Johnny's soul, which was like a candle in the wind, instantly stabilized.
Hela flicked the long whip in her hand. The straightened whip pointed towards Thanos's position in the distance. From the thirty-six human-head skull oil lamps, billows of black smoke emerged. Within the black smoke, a flash of bloodlight appeared. In the vibrant red expanse, thick blood shadows lunged towards that world of orange light.
Thanos, holding the Soul Stone in his hand, his palm glowed with orange radiance.
The area enveloped by this orange light seemed to be his kingdom. Facing the vast numbers of the demon tide, it seemed he only needed to crook his finger to easily hook and take their souls.
Within the orange light emitted by the Soul Stone, in the world only visible to Thanos, countless souls wandered like smoke. Within that smoke, a face screaming and yelling would appear from time to time.
Thanos grinned and laughed. He clenched his fist. Around him, millions of demons simultaneously fell to the ground. At this moment, their souls were simultaneously seized by the Soul Stone.
This is the power belonging to the Infinity Stone.
Thanos controlled the power of the Soul Stone, wanting to search for the position of the Space Gem, to open a space gate, bring his invincible fleet over, and destroy this world.
Escape! In Thanos's dictionary, the word 'escape' had never existed.
The orange light, within the unique sight of the Infinity Stone, was searching for that trace of blue light symbolizing the Space Gem. Thanos's gaze sharpened. He saw that trace of blue light. A figure whose face he couldn't clearly see was seated high upon a throne, tossing up and down in their hand was precisely the radiance symbolizing the Space Gem.
That figure seemed to have also seen Thanos. As he raised a hand and pointed, above Thanos's head, a space gate opened out of thin air. Inside the space gate, a Thunder Dragon with a camel's head, deer antlers, snake's neck, turtle's eyes, fish scales, tiger's paws, and eagle's claws leaned out. This legendary Eastern Heavenly Dragon's entire body was composed of terrifying dark blue electric current. Half of its body extended from within the space gate, its dragon mouth tearing towards Thanos.
The next moment, that Heavenly Dragon composed of lightning directly transformed into a thick dark blue thunder light beam, whistling, instantly submerging the Cosmic Overlord Thanos.
A few minutes ago, on Earth, in New York State, in the flowerbed of the Lake Heart Island Manor outside Raccoon City, a very small formation was gathering the sunlight overhead, converting it to release abundant spiritual energy, and mobilizing the vitality of the plants in the botanical garden.
Tiny flowers bloomed, layered like pink and white clouds.
As the wind blew past, countless petals immediately drifted down with the wind. The wind instantly also turned pink and white in color, carrying a faint fragrance.
The milky white spiritual energy, faintly visible to the naked eye, drifted in this botanical garden. Several streams in the manor traversed the entire manor and converged again in the Artificial Lake.
Although the Golden Apple Tree and some other rare plants were transplanted by Tang Song to the Imperial Garden outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, the formation here still existed.
One could almost see countless petals slowly growing out from various branches again, endlessly and continuously, with vigorous vitality. In the entire botanical garden, it had almost become the most refreshing and delightful place in this Artificial Lake Manor.
By the Artificial Lake, Tang Song, who had rushed back to Earth from Anteverse Planet, was holding a Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod in his hand. On the rattan chair beside him lay a cube shimmering with magnificent blue light.
Although Tang Song seemed to be fishing, at this moment, his mind was in the Hell Dimension, within the trap he had set for Thanos.
He used the ability of the Space Gem to seal off the entire Hell Abyss, trapping Thanos within it. It was also he who changed the position of the space gate, tricking Thanos into Hell.
All of this was something he had "seen" in advance through the Time Stone and the Dao of Mystic Computation. Strictly speaking, Thanos was moving according to Tang Song's scheme.
This was like an expert playing chess. Every move of the rival was within his expectations. He could even guide the rival to make them take the moves he wanted.
What was the most feared ability of the top Great Divine Ability Users in the Jambudvīpa World who are called Great Experts? Was it divine abilities like moving mountains and overturning seas, plucking stars and seizing the moon? Or the ancientness of immortality, living as long as Heaven and Earth, sharing the same age as the sun and moon? None of these. In Boss Tang's opinion, what was most enviable and feared was their heavenly Mystic Computation, like reading text in their palm, the boldness to treat Heaven and Earth and all things as a chess game, and the foresight of a person in the present, scheming for eons.
Now, relying on the Time Stone and Mystic Computation Abilities, he himself also mastered this strength. Every move of the Cosmic Overlord Thanos was within his grasp and expectation, just like a fly caught in a spiderweb.
That feeling of controlling others' fate made Tang Song tremble all over. This feeling was hundreds, thousands of times more stimulating than Liu Rachel and Esther Li together in **.
"When facing major events, one must calm their mind!" By the Lakeside, groups of Dragon Whisker Koi gathered, opening their fish mouths, begging Tang Song for food. Tang Song scattered a handful of fishing bait, calming his emotions.
Laughter overflowed onto his face. Being restless and impatient is not the quality of someone who achieves great things.
Compared to those ancient Great Divine Ability Users in the Jambudvīpa World, his three lives combined were less than a hundred years old. He still couldn't remain expressionless even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
While those Old Relics had sat and watched the universe be born and destroyed countless times.
Perhaps in a few thousand more years, Tang Song's heart would also become as cold as theirs. But at this moment, compared to an immortal, he was more like a person who controlled supernatural power.
The Koi were scrambling for the bait by the Lakeside. By Tang Song's hand, the Cosmic Cube on the bamboo chair, however, emitted a gleam.
Tang Song took the Cosmic Cube into his hand. The next moment, within the sight of the Infinity Stone, he saw Thanos and the Soul Stone in his hand.
When he saw Thanos wanting to use the ability of the Soul Stone to mobilize the Space Gem's ability to open a space gate and leave Hell, Tang Song decided to prepare a gift for this Cosmic Overlord Thanos.
A series of commands passed through the smart mechanical watch on Tang Song's wrist, reaching the Skynet Command Center in Raccoon City.
Artificial Intelligence Red Queen immediately interrupted the power supply system of the entire Raccoon City, except for a few important research centers. The two hundred and forty backup large and medium-sized Arc Reactor systems in the entire Raccoon City simultaneously activated.
The entire Raccoon City, centered around the tall building of the Tang Group Headquarters, simultaneously flashed with strange radiance on the rooftops of three hundred and sixty tall buildings. The construction of the entire Raccoon City was, from the beginning, a massive formation integrating attack and defense.
At the bottom of these tall buildings, a massive amount of metal cables were laid beneath the foundation during construction, enough to allow powerful electric current to flow through them.
A massive amount of electrical energy caused cables as thick as a wrist to emit a deep blue fluorescence, whistling, rushing into certain special electric nets beneath the buildings.
The powerful electrical energy directly activated the formation of Raccoon City, which used the city as its base. Triggered by the powerful underground thunder power, thick dark clouds also rolled in the sky. Vaguely, a dragon-shaped thunder phantom could be seen rolling within the dark clouds. The power of heavenly thunder and the lightning of technology converged to form a Lightning Heavenly Dragon.
The blue space gate, accompanied by the dark blue Thunder Dragon's lunge, flashed and disappeared within the dark clouds. "Roar!"
The dark blue electric current instantly covered Thanos. His skin, which was almost invincible in defense, at this moment, seemed unable to resist this thunder power that would make Thor feel ashamed.
Thanos's entire body went numb. His skin, flesh and blood, even the cells inside the body, instantly necrotized under this powerful power of lightning.
In that instant, Thanos even saw his beloved Goddess of Death (Hela).
In a daze, Thanos even felt double vision appear before his eyes. The figure of Death even became two.
One was seated upon a throne, one was leaning over and saying something into the other's ear.
Perhaps it was an illusion, he even saw the face beneath Death's skeleton mask smiling.
Is this a dream? How blissful! Proxima Midnight, Nebula, and Supergiant were at this moment watching their Liege, whom they served, with fear and trepidation. His body was instantly enveloped by the sudden torrent of lightning. Under this powerful thunder power, the set of armor on Thanos's body only lasted for ten seconds, and even Thanos's body turned into charred remains along with it.
However, Thanos, as a member of the Eternal Titan race, also possessed the curse of Death, one of the Five Great Cosmic Entities of the Universe. His body, which was destroyed by lightning, instantly recovered as before. Then the violent thunder power once again destroyed his body. Then his body, under the curse of Death, recovered once again. This repeated over and over.
On the other side, the invisible and intangible Heavenly Ghosts within the lamps, when they entered this barrier belonging solely to souls, although their form of existence came from another world, their essence was still the souls belonging to this universe.
The moment the orange light emitted by the Soul Stone enveloped them, they also, like the souls of other demons, turned into a part of the Soul Stone.
The moment the Heavenly Ghosts were devoured by the power of the Soul Stone, one of the thirty-six skull lamps hovering around Hela immediately extinguished.
Hela's gaze looked at the mountain of demon corpses. Her gaze turned cold. "Attack!"
Accompanied by King Ghidorah's three dragon heads hissing towards the sky, large areas of firelight suddenly rose up at the rear of the Demon Army. Hundreds of small surface-to-surface missiles, trailing long flame tails, flew towards Thanos's position.
Beside each rocket launcher vehicle, there were over a dozen gray dwarves skillfully operating modern human technology weapons.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
An organ-like sound whistled above this area of Hell.
When the first batch of surface-to-surface missiles arrived, Proxima Midnight and the others, relying on their agile skill and abilities, dodged the missile bombardment.
While the soldiers of the Black Order who survived the Demon Army's attack were blown head over heels, blood flowed like a river.
Boom!
From beneath Thanos's purple skin, covered by missiles, black carbonized powder rustled and fell. That lightning energy was finally exhausted during his dozens of cycles of life and death, rebirth.
He raised his head and looked towards the horizon.
At this moment, under the blood moon sky, the organ-like sound rang out. Dense rocket barrages came bombarding towards him.
This time, Thanos directly used his own strength to erect an eggshell-like energy barrier, enveloping himself and Proxima Midnight and a few others within it.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
Large fireworks exploded on the energy barrier.
When the third batch of surface-to-surface missiles, accompanied by thousands of rockets, struck from mid-air, Thanos's eyes shot out crimson rays of light, detonating these Earth technology creations in mid-air.
