Chapter 246 - Galaxy: Convergence, Disintegration, and Power

The mechanical giant's seemingly bulky body and slow movements were actually quite swift. The three generals, including General Corvus Glaive, didn't have time to run far before the piercing sense of danger behind them made them numb.

The hammer, shining with a purple halo, smashed into the ground. The metallic ground became as if made of paper, and large pieces of metal turned into flying ash and fragments. With the place where the hammer and the ground touched as the center, a circular shock wave swept across the surroundings.

The three Generals of the Deathly Blade had no time to escape. They had realized that their lives had reached the most critical point of life and death, and they mobilized all their strength to resist the sweeping purple shock wave.

Corvus Glaive was the first to face the shockwave. He didn't even have time to turn around, using all his strength to construct layer after layer of protection behind him. However, his desperate defenses and actions were instantly shattered by the shockwave, which contained the power of the Infinity Stones. The purple torrent swept through Corvus Glaive's body as if being sliced ​​by a high-speed, swirling stream of water, like a blade. The flesh beneath his skin festered, then the flesh was worn away, revealing his bones. Finally, he disappeared completely in the purple torrent.

With the death of its master, the peerless blade was thrown far away by the shock wave, spun and fell to the ground, and was stuck in the ground.

The superstar used her powerful telekinesis to create layers of thick mental barriers around herself. Given the strength of her telekinesis, the mental barriers she created were enough to easily withstand the main guns of the civilization's mothership. However, facing the purple shockwave, she couldn't help but feel her vision go dark, her mind reeling and shaking as if struck by a hammer.

But she gritted her teeth and held on. Even though her spirit was close to collapse at this moment, she still resisted like a huge rock splitting the waves, and did not end up like her companion General Deathly Blade, who was left with nothing but a corpse.

Ronan unhesitatingly activated the ultimate ability of his universal weapon—the "Time Movement Field." Using it, he shifted the time around him, dragging himself into the torrent of time, leaping past the perilous timeline and disappearing from the spot, avoiding the surging shockwave.

When the danger dissipated, Ronan's somewhat embarrassed figure reappeared on the field.

Yondu and his companions in the distance practically turned and fled, but by the time the shockwave reached them, the damage had been significantly reduced compared to the central area. Even so, those groups of marauders caught in the aftermath, those with insufficient physical strength or technological defenses, suffered further casualties. This made Yondu regret once again coming to this barren land, participating in a battlefield that was not their place.

[This is the power of God! ]

Inside the mechanical giant, nano wings connected tens of thousands of data chips. Letari, who acted as the brain, felt the enormous power surging within this mechanical body, and couldn't help but feel excited.

He controlled the energy explosion to the surrounding area and did not wreak havoc in the distant areas. As the predecessor of the Chitauri, he was bloodthirsty, and that was the rule and culture of the Chitauri.

But after being transformed into a divine machine, he still disregarded life, but he would no longer randomly engage in planetary massacres. This was because the Lord needed life, and needed a large amount of life to provide him with energy and inspiration.

This mechanical body with power comparable to that of a god is powerful enough to tear apart the metal planet beneath its feet, which is known as a barren land. It is difficult to control its own power and not cause irreparable damage to the planet.

In particular, the data transmitted in his mind made him realize that this was not a fully-fledged Mechanical Apostle, but more like a test version for verification. A true Mechanical Apostle, in terms of size, power, and utilization of the Infinity Stones, would be at least one dimensional higher!

"Go! We have to go!"

Yongdu stood up from the ground covered in dust. He had just laid directly on the ground to reduce the area of ​​impact. After enduring the aftermath, he jumped up from the ground, spat out a few mouthfuls of dust, and said in an anxious tone.

"Where to go?" Star-Lord also jumped up from the ground. When it comes to running and saving his life, he is better than Yondu. "The entire barren land is blocked, and there are flying ships everywhere outside."

"Did you notice? Those mechanical bodies were separated into pieces and then became part of the mechanical giant and the mechanical bodies around him. This is their business! The other party also got the Cosmic Spirit Orb, and we have nothing to do here! Compared with the Kree Empire and the Dark Order, we are just a group of insignificant little trash. As long as we seize the opportunity to rush out, they will not bother to encircle us." Yondu said quickly while swinging his arms and running towards the way he came.

They'd come here madly to save their lives, and now they were madly running away from here, also to save their lives. This dramatic scene made Yondu and the other predators running back the way they came feel a little strange. But they still ran faster than the other.

"Let's split up and look for the spaceship, and then reunite to see the situation." Star-Lord wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Yondu and the others.

"Don't even think about running away, kid. I've suffered a huge loss this time, and you must find a way to compensate me." Yondu saw through Star-Lord's plan at a glance, moved closer to him, and threatened: "If you dare to leave my sight, I'll shoot you with a whistle arrow. You know I'm a man of my words."

"I have a few companions, I can't abandon them. I don't plan to escape alone." Star-Lord saw Yondu throw away his windbreaker, revealing the whistle arrow pinned inside his clothes, and raised his hand to signal.

"I'll go with you." Yongdu said without hesitation.

"Let's join forces, or we'll perish here." Ronan gasped. Using the Omni Weapon's ultimate ability, traveling through the torrent of time, was a tremendous strain on his relentlessly modulated body. He couldn't use this ability as a normal force. The Omni Weapon couldn't handle it, and neither could his body. Furthermore, while the Omni Weapon could absorb cosmic energy to power itself, the power it could draw was limited. Unless it were imbued with an infinite energy source like the Infinity Stones, it couldn't unleash its powerful abilities at will.

Supergiant said nothing, only nodded solemnly. She didn't fear death; she even longed to embrace it. But the premise of death was that it was meaningful and unique. Moreover, she couldn't die yet; she needed to provide intelligence and information to her master, Thanos. If needed, her powerful mental power could connect with Thanos's mind, allowing him to see everything she saw.

"Where are the other three of the Obsidian Five?" Ronan looked at the mechanical giant and subconsciously wanted to find more helpers.

"Proxima Midnight has lost contact. It must have been trapped in some unknown space fragment or dimension. My spirit cannot connect to it. The incompetent Black Dwarf is being pinned to the ground and beaten by a strange life form. Don't count on him. Ebony Maw, he can come and help. The cage that trapped him is about to break. He told me that he still needs some time. As for the Chitauri and Vanguards brought by the Other, I have already mobilized them to gather here. But don't expect them to be of any help. Acting as cannon fodder to buy us a little time is the greatest role and significance they can play." said the superstar.

As the two major armies of the Dark Order, the Chitauri and the Vanguard were not as incompetent as Supergiant claimed. At least, they were no less capable than the armies of other civilizations in the universe. Especially the Vanguard, which had undergone various genetic modifications and possessed various abilities. Their number and strength were enough to make ordinary civilizations tremble with fear and give them a headache.

As biological weapons created by Thanos after collecting genes from various races across the universe, the Vanguards always play a significant role in large-scale wars. Although their brains are a bit weak, they are strong and obedient, can understand simple commands, and are fearless, which is enough.

In the past, Supergiant was enough to easily wipe out an entire army. Her mental control and telepathic abilities were a huge threat to any living being. However, facing the Mechanical Giant, her proud abilities were severely hindered and sealed.

[Data: Sandbox Space]

The purple energy core on the mechanical giant's chest vibrated, and purple light spread throughout its body, lingering around the mechanical giant like mist.

The entire barren land is included in the coverage of the sandbox space.

The moment the sandbox opened, Supergiant's expression suddenly changed. She discovered she had lost her connection with her master, Thanos. She could no longer communicate with him or allow him to borrow her perspective. Her mental tentacles couldn't even leave this barren land. This unprecedented situation made her realize that she might have entered a strange dimension. Even though it seemed they were still in the barren land, in reality, they might no longer be in their original universe.

What made her make this guess was that the Dark Night Proxima, which had been disconnected before but was now online again, was connected.

A golden light shot out from afar, and when it landed on the ground, it revealed the tall body of Dark Night Proxima.

"Where's Corvus Glaive?" Dark Night Proxima asked Supergiant, not seeing her lover. Her expression was grim. She had been trapped in a circular space, no matter which direction she left, she would always return to where she started. Just when she thought that solving this dilemma would solve the problem by solving the Translator, she was disgusted.

The Translator's combat power wasn't strong, at least compared to her. She could easily slaughter him. But the translator's disgusting thing was that his form of life had no so-called vital points; it was purely a cumulative damage physique. Without a certain amount of damage, even pulverizing his heart would be useless.

He doesn't bleed, suffer wounds, or have the same limitations as other life forms, such as limbs being separated from the body. Cutting off an opponent's limbs only inflicts damage, not actual loss of limbs. The same applies to attacks on vital organs like the heart and head.

If that were all, it would not be a big deal to Proxima Midnight. It could not kill him with one strike, but it could still cause damage. As long as the attack lasted for a while longer, this data-like life form would still die.

But the disgusting thing is that the opponent in this space has an almost terrifying recovery ability! Before the damage you cause has time to accumulate, the opponent has already recovered to its original state. Your attack is not even as much as the opponent's recovery.

Dark Night Proxima used every possible means, even risking everything, disregarding his own injuries, unleashing thousands of attacks in a flash, hoping to achieve instantaneous cumulative damage with this high frequency of attacks, but to no avail. While the opponent's recovery speed did slow, it was unable to inflict a truly fatal injury on the translator.

So Proxima Midnight was disgusted. She couldn't kill him, and he couldn't beat her, but she couldn't leave him. Proxima Midnight had fought for Thanos for so many years, and she had never encountered such a disgusting battle.

So, after suddenly regaining her spiritual connection with the supergiant, she almost couldn't wait to rush in the direction it guided her. Sure enough, this time she didn't enter that damned loop, successfully reuniting with the supergiant. And to her surprise, she sensed many other life signals, rather than the empty, dead silence of before.

"Be careful!" Before the supergiant could answer, he controlled Proxima Midnight's body with his mental power and pulled her towards him.

A massive hammer descended upon the spot where Dark Night Proxima had been, its mass slumping like a mountain. This time, Laetari held back nothing, operating at full power. The purple aura surrounding the hammer was so intense it seemed to be solidifying. The hammer sank into the ground, half of it sank into the earth. The energy from the hammer seeped directly into the depths of the earth.

The entire barren land began to tremble like an earthquake. At the center of the energy explosion, the ground cracked directly. Deep cracks appeared on the ground, and then expanded with a crackling sound, forming abysses.

Energy shockwaves, mixed with pulsing sonic waves, swept across the barren land. Gazing down from the sky, the area looked as if it were being flattened by a circular ram. All the buildings were swept away, and layer upon layer of metal supports began to break. The brains of the gods, harvested and sold as rare minerals, poured down like a torrential rain, pouring down upon the lower levels.

The entire barren land seemed to be split in half from the center by an axe, and began to undergo irreversible separation and rupture.

"Madman!" Ronan and his companions continued to raise themselves, shocked and devastated by the devastated, constantly collapsing and cracking ground. The enemy's attack had practically destroyed the barren land, causing it to tear apart from within! What they faced next wasn't just the mechanical giant, but also the various natural disasters brought about by the disintegration of the barren land!
