Chapter 2133 - 2133 Selina's Little Obsession
2133 Selina’s Little Obsession
When the crack on the outer hull started to widen, the high-pressure energy finally had a target.
The white torrent sped up and surged forward, quickly tearing the gap open until there was finally an explosion, which lit up like a firework in space.
Luke and the others were also spat out.
At that moment, Thanos’s warship finally exploded.
There was a fiery blast, and the people on Earth saw a small sun.
Thor was holding onto Wade, and the two of them were immediately swept away.
Thanks to Selina’s strong ‘restraints,’ Luke’s two clones were firmly bound together. As for Skye, who was hugging Knight’s waist, she was also protected.
However, Knight and Big Dipper were in pretty bad shape.
Increasing the quantity of the nanomaterial to ensure that defenses held up was a very simple and effective method, but that didn’t mean that the quality of the defenses was boosted as well.
For example, if the nanosuit was thrown into the sun, it would definitely vaporize instantly – adding tens of thousands of nanomaterial cartridges would be useless.
The power of the warship’s destruction exceeded the defenses of the nanosuit. The nanosuits of the three people in shield form were more than 80% damaged, and many of their functions, including defense, were lost.
Thankfully, Skye’s last effort finally caused the crack to break open a few seconds earlier, and everybody escaped.
Even so, the two clones who had been holding up the shields in the front were still cooked like rare steak.
It wasn’t worse only because Luke had so many abilities. Wade, who only had self-healing, had probably been cooked medium rare, or he wouldn’t be screaming so much.
There were three shields to block the high pressure and heat, so Thor, Skye and Selina were only at the initial stage of cooked teppanyaki; their skin was burned, but their internal functions were still intact.
Hence, the moment Thanos’s warship exploded, the two clones could no longer protect Selina and Skye.
Using special showy mental abilities like Telekinesis, credit points, and the power of Annihilation to defend against the destruction of a mega warship? Dream on.
If telekinesis was really that strong, why would Ebony Maw need to ride a spaceship? Wouldn’t using telekinesis to cross space be even more flashy?
In the face of such a powerful energy storm, Luke couldn’t use his inventory either. Its main function was to store items; it couldn’t do anything like cut through dimensions or act as a shield.
At that moment, Selina turned around and hugged Knight, before she pressed Big Dipper against Knight.
Selina’s back was to the explosion, while in front of her was Knight, and Skye was sandwiched between Knight and Big Dipper.
Selina stretched out her limbs and pressed the four of them together.
Under his half-burnt helmet, Knight’s expression was startled. “You…”
Selina said, “I can block it.”
Sound didn’t travel in space, but telepathy was absolutely possible.
Knight nodded slightly. “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Selina said, “No problem.”
As they spoke, two silver wings stretched out of the back of Selina’s armor to wrap around the four of them.
That was right, the protective gear on Director Selina’s back was wings, not a shield.
Ordinary women wouldn’t be willing to use a turtle shell, which was why Luke had specially installed a pair of wings on her back.
Wade was a man; practicality came first. A turtle shell was no big deal for him.
Wrapped in silver wings, the four of them were carried along by the energy tide through outer space.
Even with the protection of the wings, the four of them still felt the temperature rise rapidly.
Like what happened to Knight and Big Dipper earlier, Selina’s suit quickly heated up to 1,000 degrees.
Gold Nugget didn’t make a sound as it did its best to repair the damage to her body.
However, high temperatures were lethal to the symbiote to begin with, and the dog head’s efforts were at most better than nothing.
This was also only possible because the dog head had freeloaded a lot of Life 1 and special energy over the years, and had become much stronger.
If it were any other symbiote, they would basically just be waiting to die at this high a temperature.
Thankfully, Selina had gotten a jab of Life 1 before the explosion, which was healing her body, so she could still hold on.
At the same time, the only thought she had in her heart was to protect Luke.
It couldn’t be helped. Luke was too strong.
During his first two years as a detective at the very beginning, he had still needed her to cover him when he took action.
After that, it was very hard for Selina to run into danger. After the remote-controlled androids came out, most risks were basically eliminated.
This made Director Selina very helpless. She didn’t know when it could be her turn to protect him.
She was a little excited when she thought of a listless Luke lying in her arms and looking at her gratefully.
Even though she could feel her body burning, Selina circulated the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique with all her might with the firm conviction that she could withstand this energy tide!
An incomparably safe life for many years compared with the dire straits they were in now; Luke taking the lead compared with her taking the lead now; a silent Gold Nugget, who couldn’t hide the pain from Selina; Life 1 and the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique – all together, they finally shattered some ‘barrier’ in her body.
It wasn’t Selina who noticed the change first, but the dog head in the symbiotic state.
From the moment it first combined with Selina, it had absorbed a special energy that was in Selina’s body, which was absolutely the most delicious of all special energies.
However, Selina had very little of this special energy, with a daily ‘production’ that was less than one thousandth of Luke’s Elementary Self-Healing.
Luke was also worried about the side effects of absorbing it, and only allowed the dog head to absorb 1%.
Later, when Selina made some progress with the Kunlun Chi Refining Technique, she simply let the dog head absorb the chi and didn’t let it touch that special energy again.
It had been many years since Gold Nugget had tasted this special energy.
Now that it had appeared again, the dog head was dumbfounded. WTF! What was with this gush of ‘production’?
A certain dog head who wasn’t good at math didn’t know how to use scale, and had a more intuitive sense.
In the beginning, it usually only had a drop of this special energy every day. It was like a hungry person sucking on wet sand for water, unwilling to give up even if they couldn’t absorb it.
What flowed through Selina’s body now was like water pouring out non-stop from a tap that had been turned on.
Before the dog head could recover from its stupor, it realized that the tap had turned into a water pipe.
The special energy was no longer flowing, but shooting out like water from a burst high-pressure pipe.
The dog head, which had been suffering from the heat, suddenly felt like it waa floating. It cheered and reveled in the sensation of ‘soaking’ in this top-quality ‘delicious’ energy.
It was completely like a rat that had fallen into a pot of rice wine and gotten drunk.
Also, the special energy rushed up like crazy and enveloped the dog head in the complete symbiotic form. It wasn’t the dog head absorbing the energy at all, but the special energy proactively immersing itself in every one of the dog head’s neurons.
At that moment, Selina sensed the drastic change in her body. Even Knight, who was pressed to her chest, felt it.
