Chapter 2135 - 2135 Thanos's Counterattack
2135 Thanos’s Counterattack
Earth’s allied forces also received word from Luke that the four of them were safe and that Thanos was missing.
They immediately increased their efforts to attack Thanos’s army on the battlefield and find traces of Thanos as soon as possible.
For now, nobody had to worry about Thor and Wade. One of them was a god with thick skin, and the other was a cockroach that was hard to kill.
Knight and Big Dipper, who were protecting the two girls, were fine – there was no way anything could happen to the two men.
For Thor, who could summon the Stormbreaker ax at any time, flying through space with another person was no big deal; it was impossible for him to drift foolishly in space and eat dust.
After learning Selina’s Intermediate Evolution, Knight and Big Dipper recovered their mobility in less than a minute.
Sensing that Selina was still being rapidly ‘upgraded’ after her awakening, Luke didn’t bother her, and simply had the two clones put on brand new armor.
Skye, who had passed out due to the heat, was directly stuffed into Space 2 to enjoy hibernation and the treatment of the medical robots.
She had contributed a lot in this battle, and half of the credit for the destruction of Thanos’s warship should go to her.
Thanos had indeed guessed that they would come for his head, but he had never expected Skye to use Vibration to open a back door in the warship.
Her ability was a very rare one, and she had never used it in battle on Earth; there was no way Thanos’s spies on Earth would consider a civilian to be part of the Justice League’s combat force.
If they had attacked the warship openly, Thanos would have gotten some idea of the team’s strength beforehand, and could use the soldiers as small fry to overwhelm them.
It could only be said that this ambush had been an accumulation of many advantages, which was why Thanos had fled in a sorry state.
The benefits of the nanosuit were once again demonstrated.
Selina, who was still hugging Luke, didn’t notice the semi-liquid layer at all.
The thrusters on the brand new armor gently activated and stopped the trio’s flight through space.
Luke was hiding in a temporary hideout 100 kilometers away from Wakanda at that moment, when his thoughts suddenly moved. He turned around and said, “Since you’re already here, there’s no need to hide anymore, right, Mr. Thanos?”
Everything remained quiet, as if to mock him for being paranoid.
Luke slowly stood up and turned around. “I told, don’t hide.”
As he spoke, a faint golden light spread out.
When it swept through a thicket 100 meters away, Thanos’s huge figure appeared.
There was surprise in his eyes. “Both of you actually know how to use divine power. Did the Asgardian prince teach you that?”
At that moment, Luke was using Knight’s face.
In any case, the clone that had attacked Thanos’s warship could become an ‘android’ at any time.
If Knight said it was an android, then it was an android.
Batman had already used a ‘remote-controlled suit’ to send off the nuclear missile during the Battle of New York; it wasn’t strange for him to use an android to escape once more.
But it was Big Dipper who had used the telekinesis field on the warship earlier, which was why Thanos had asked the question.
This galactic tyrant didn’t look like he was in a sorry state at the moment.
The ambush on the warship had only damaged his armor slightly. He had the Infinity Glove on his right hand and was holding the double-headed sword in his left hand. He didn’t look like a super boss who had fled his warship at all.
Luke smiled indifferently. “Guess… huh?”
When Luke replied, Thanos raised his right hand and fired a bright purple light beam.
This was a genuine surprise attack.
Even Luke was caught off guard by Thanos’s move — this was the first time he had seen such an uncouth move by the tyrant!
But that was all there was to it.
As someone who specialized in ambushes, what Luke was most wary of was surprise attacks.
He raised his hand, and light golden Telekinesis buffed with credit appeared in front of him.
The two forces collided, but didn’t cause much of a stir. Instead, they twined together and canceled each other out.
For the time being, the purple light beam couldn’t break through the credit-buffed Telekinesis, much less hurt Luke himself.
Luke could buy time and wait for reinforcements on home ground to arrive.
At that time, Thanos would enjoy a second round of attacks today.
So, Thanos didn’t mess around. He raised his hand and threw out the double-headed blade, which flew at Luke from the side.
At the same time, he charged forward.
Luke smiled and stepped back. He was slightly faster than Thanos.
Thanos was shocked. How was that possible?
Under the control of the Infinity Glove, the Power Stone could display some of its traits.
It had the ability to ‘lock’ onto a target.
Thanos was now using the ‘lock’ ability, and Luke, as the locked target, should be unable to completely avoid the purple light beam.
Of course, retreating was also one way to avoid the attack.
Luke cursed again in his heart as he cheered wildly for Director Selina: What kind of godly ability was this? This was simply a cheat.
Just now, when Thanos had used the Power Stone to ‘lock’ onto him, Luke had been prepared to recall his clones.
Thanos had used this ‘lock’ trick on the warship.
However, there had been too many strong attackers in the team. If he locked onto one of them, the other three would seize the opportunity to gang up on him.
It was two arms to eight; if he locked onto one person, he only had his left arm free versus six arms on the other side.
Also, the purple light beam fired by the Power Stone wasn’t soft; he couldn’t move so easily, and it slowed him down.
Surrounded by several powerful enemies, giving himself a ‘handicap’ and slowing down was no different from courting death.
At that moment, there was only Luke in front of Thanos.
Through the mysterious connection which the Infinity Stones had, Thanos knew that the Space Stone was with Luke.
So, as long as he killed Luke, he could get the Space Stone.
With the Infinity Glove, Thanos could teleport away from Earth at any time once he obtained the Space Stone, which was equivalent to being invincible.
No matter how many superheroes and fleets there were on Earth, it would be meaningless.
All Thanos would need to do later was wait patiently for an opportunity to teleport to Earth and take the Time Stone from the new Sorcerer Supreme.
There was nothing wrong with this plan. However, Selina’s newly awakened Evolution ability was now a ‘variable.’
Luke had just learned this ability. The moment he resisted the purple light beam, he had a strange feeling: Why did the energy beam from the Power Stone seem… tasty?
Almost subconsciously, he had his shield let a bit of the purple energy through, and his body naturally absorbed it.
Slurp! Luke felt like he was eating spicy noodles.
Then, he immediately reacted. Holy sh*t, what he had just ‘eaten’ was… the energy of the Power Stone? Wow, that was awesome!
