Chapter 951 Proving the Value
"Really, that's such a pity. You know, I originally hoped to get the last two gems in as peaceful a way as possible. But you gave me no choice. ”
Looking at these people on earth who were waiting for them, Thanos slowly raised the Infinity Gauntlet and made a fist.
The next second...
The power of the Reality Stone was activated instantly, directly turning the originally empty desert into a lush and complex tropical rainforest.
Whether it was the superheroes or the positions built by the Astartes warriors, they were completely cut apart by the changes in this moment.
Some people were sent to the top of mountains, while others fell into depressions full of rivers and swamps.
All the previous careful arrangements are as ridiculous as child's play in front of the power of the infinite stones.
"Damn! Natasha! What are you waiting for?"
Tony Stark immediately flew into the air with his armor and shouted to Black Widow in the communicator .
"Don't worry! I have already sent the signal."
The Black Widow, wearing a specially designed power mecha, jumped from a mountain with an altitude of more than a thousand meters, and used the positioning device in her hand to The device is thrown at the enemies coming like a tidal wave.
The moment this Frisbee-like thing crossed a parabola and hit the head of a biological weapon, it immediately tore apart the space and released a huge portal.
Before the command system of Thanos' army could react to what happened, hundreds of fully armed mercenaries from the ninth level of Baator Hell rushed out from inside.
The leader is a tall and thin Utros demon holding a huge scimitar.
This is a high-level yugoloth demon that looks like a humanoid creature wearing a robe. Only its elongated head and two shining yellow eyes look a bit scary.
Any enemy within ten meters will fall to the ground and fall into a deep sleep in an instant.
This is Utroth's unique ability - hypnotic gaze.
Especially for these creatures with extremely low charm attributes, they are simply like natural enemies.
Others were controlled by group suggestion spells, turning around and biting the same kind around them crazily. The scene looked extremely bloody and terrifying.
Not only that!
Utros Demon also released his best spell-like ability - Wall of Fire, which single-handedly slowed down the enemy's attack.
The yugoloth demon mercenaries under his command also took the opportunity to swarm forward and began to harvest the biological weapons that were hypnotized and unable to resist at lightning speed.
Obviously, these Yugoroth demons are the most elite mercenaries hired by Black Widow at a high price in the ninth level of Baator Hell.
You must know that as the eternal war between good and evil has completely begun, most of the yugoloth demons have joined the evil side under the employment and lobbying of Asmodeus, and are making a fortune in the war in the Seventh Heaven Mountain , many originally prosperous cities and towns were completely looted.
At this time, if you want to hire a yugoloth demon to work for you, you need to pay at least ten times more than before.
And the yugoloth demon usually only accepts soul currency, not gold, which is a symbol of wealth in the eyes of mortals.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to see how many alien lives the Earth Alliance has massacred and harvested since the era of interstellar colonization began.
Of course, from the perspective of the People's Federation, just hiring some yugoloth demons obviously cannot satisfy their appetite.
Following those who rushed out of the portal were devils, devils, hybrid tieflings, ogre magicians, dragons, lichs, djinn, constructs, and a large number of fully armed possessors. A mortal with a very high professional level.
After all, soul currency is an out-and-out hard currency in the lower planes, and is more valuable than gold, gems, or magic items.
If you only pay gold, you can usually only hire a team with a medium level.
But if you can pay for the Soul Prism, then even existences like the Pit Fiend and Balor Balrog, who stand at the top of their respective race's food chain, will gladly accept it.
Because more souls mean greater power and endless soldiers.
"Fire!!! Hit me hard!"
A mercenary captain with a professional level of LV24 warrior gave the attack orders to his team members with a grin, and at the same time activated the automatic weapon system on the power mecha.
In the blink of an eye, dense high-energy rays began to shoot wildly, directly blocking the endless enemies more than a hundred meters away.
Seeing this, Proxima Centauri, one of the five obsidian generals under Thanos, immediately rushed over with his spear brandished, trying to get rid of these powerful mercenaries.
But she obviously doesn't know that the biggest difference between these mercenaries from the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level of Baator Hell and the interstellar mercenaries in this universe is that they have no shortcomings.
Seeing a powerful woman coming towards him, the mercenary captain did not hesitate for a second before pulling out a double-edged battle ax and rushing towards her.
boom! ! ! ! !
As the two weapons collided together, the flashing red ax instantly produced dazzling fire and violent explosions.
Proxima Centauri was obviously not prepared for this at all. He was immediately blown away and rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before barely regaining his balance.
You don’t need to ask to know that the double-edged ax in the hand of the mercenary captain is an out-and-out magical weapon.
Due to the uniqueness of Baator Hell, the fire element attribute in this plane is much higher than other elements. Therefore, the price paid for fire enchantment on weapons and armor is much lower than other types of enchantment.
This is also the reason why devils are basically immune to fire damage.
So most of the magic weapons produced in Baator Hell will have fire or explosion effects.
Coupled with the powerful physical fitness, martial arts and combat experience of the legendary warrior, what kind of advantage can Proxima Centauri get before it becomes a ghost?
"Hahahaha! Brothers! We are going to get rich! Look, there is a target on the bounty order."
The mercenary captain obviously recognized the blue-skinned man in front of him. The woman had an expression of ecstasy on her face.
"Head! Her name is Proxima Midnight, and she is worth five million souls on the bounty list!"
"How much? Five million!"
"Oh my God! We are so lucky. Is the goddess favoring you?”
“Kill her! Don’t let this bitch get away!”
With extremely excited roars, all the mercenaries from hell around him shouted. They all showed scary looks like hungry wolves.
It seems that it is not a powerful enemy, but a mobile vault.
You must know that five million souls, even in Baator Hell, which has begun to experience "inflation" today, is still a number that is enough to make the big devil and dimension lords excited.
For ordinary people, it is an astronomical figure that is unimaginable.
This amount of money is enough for all members of a mercenary group to disband on the spot and enjoy an extremely luxurious life for one or two hundred years.
As for the danger...
Sorry, they all come out to work as mercenaries and lick blood from their swords. Who really cares about the danger?
The only thing they care about is how to make as much money as possible in each mission.
And five million souls is enough for all mercenaries to gamble with their lives.
“You guys!”
Dark Night Proxima was undoubtedly startled by the almost fanatical eyes of the mercenaries.
As an elite under Thanos, she has invaded countless planets and experienced thousands of battles, but no one is as scary as this group of hell mercenaries.
Because there is no fear of death in their eyes, there is just endless greed and desire.
And this is one of the most typical irreversible effects that the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level of Baator Hell has on mortals.
The decisive and decisive mercenary captain did not even hesitate for a second before he picked up his ax and rushed towards the dark night star Proxima Centauri.
The latter had no choice but to parry.
But this time she chose to use the tip of the spear instead of the long shaft, knowing that the collision of the weapons would cause an explosion.
In this way, you can make the explosion range a little further away from you. Then you insert the spear into the opposite side with your backhand. Using the shock wave generated by the explosion, you make a ninety-degree turn on the spot and stab the opponent with a swift gesture. armpit.
Just when Proxima Centauri thought he could solve this troublesome opponent, the mercenary captain raised his left hand to reveal the red gem in his palm.
Before the former could react, a flash of silver lightning shot out from inside.
“Ahhhhhh!!!!!!”
Accompanied by heart-rending screams, the general under Thanos immediately trembled violently uncontrollably, and even his hair stood up one by one.
“The five million bounty is mine!”
The mercenary captain took the opportunity to leap high and raised the ax above his head, obviously intending to chop off the target’s head.
But at this critical moment, General Deathblade rushed over to block the fatal blow and rescued his companions.
There is no doubt that with the crazy money-spending of the People's Federation, the top mercenaries in the entire ninth level of Baator Hell were successfully recruited.
And each of these strong mercenaries can compete with the five Obsidian generals, or even suppress them.
"This...this is the mercenary recruited by the People's Federation? Are they too strong?"
Ant-Man stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence, standing there a little a little bit. At a loss.
Because he originally planned to rush forward and fight.
But before taking actual action, they discovered that the mercenaries rushing out of the portal had actually blocked the incoming waves of enemies.
"Don't be surprised! After all, they all come from the kingdom of the devil, and many of them are immortal."
Tony Stark explained as he began to observe and analyze the battlefield situation, and at the same time asked Ultron to make arrangements The Astartes, whose positions were disrupted, reorganized their defenses.
After all, the purpose of recruiting these mercenaries is to act as cannon fodder to delay time, and at the same time give them the last hope of the Human Alliance to find the enemy's weaknesses and collect combat information.
"What about us? Aren't we going to support them?"
Peter Parker came up and asked curiously.
Iron Man replied without thinking: "Don't worry, kid. Haven't you noticed that Thanos hasn't taken action yet? We must first find out to what extent he has control over the Infinity Stones, and then we can formulate an effective plan." "No, that's not necessary. I can tell you clearly that Thanos' current power is far beyond what we all imagined."
It has already passed. Doctor Strange, who had glimpsed the future through the Time Stone, interrupted.
“What do you mean?”
Tony Stark raised his head and asked in an uncertain tone.
Stephen Strange showed a wry smile: "I mean, no matter what we do, it is impossible to win this war.
Because I have just seen all the possibilities for the future.
< br>The result is in fourteen million and six hundred and five futures , our hope of winning is zero.
In other words, no matter what we do, the final result will not change. ""So you mean we should simply surrender?"
< br>Ao Chuang fell from the sky, with strong hostility in his voice.
Because in his view, surrender is equivalent to handing over the Mind Stone, and handing over the Mind Stone means that his life may end.
Doctor Strange shook his head slightly: "No! We still have to resist! And we must persist until the last person falls."
"Oh? Why? Since you said we won The possibility is zero, so why do you still have to do this kind of useless work?”
Ao Chuang was stunned.
As a super artificial intelligence, he undoubtedly felt the logical contradiction between these two things.
"Because we need to prove the value of humanity and prove that we are qualified to be saved."
While saying this, Stephen Strange raised his head and looked up at the sky, seeming to be watching something.
"Prove the value of human beings? Prove that you are qualified to be saved? Prove it to whom?"
Little Spider asked very puzzledly.
After all, he is still a minor and does not know as many inside stories as others.
"Prove it to the Lord of the Ninth Level of Baator Hell, the Great Demon God Soth. Because the survival and destruction of mankind have been in his mind a long time ago."
After a long silence, Iron Man finally spoke and gave the answer.
Similarly, he is one of the few who truly understands the implications of Doctor Strange's words just now.
That is, the Avengers and the United Nations can lose this war, but they must show enough courage and resistance.
Otherwise, Zuo Si is likely to simply abandon the earth and human civilization and let them fend for themselves.
"Damn it! What are you waiting for? Let's hurry up..."
Before Ant-Man could finish his words, Thanos, who had never done anything himself before, saw that his wastes were really useless, and even a group of people from Even the mercenaries on the ninth level of Baator Hell couldn't defeat him, so he immediately raised the Infinity Gauntlet and activated the Power Stone.
In an instant, a huge purple fist fell from the sky.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
With the violent impact of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the mercenaries who had been fighting inextricably just now disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a bloody Shura field.
Because most of them were turned into flesh under this blow.
Only a very small number of high-level devils, devils and yugoloths with good perception attributes were aware of the danger in advance, and narrowly escaped with instant teleportation magic.
"Fuck! What the hell was that just now?"
Ant-Man suddenly felt the urge to urinate and shivered uncontrollably, almost losing control.
Now he finally understands why Iron Man reminds himself not to get bigger easily.
If this fucking guy gets hit, he will definitely die with his small body.
“That is the Power Stone among the Infinity Stones.
According to our understanding, it can mobilize unlimited energy, allowing the holder to always have the upper hand in head-on confrontation.
< br>Okay, enough chatting, it’s our turn
Remember, even if you die, you must die with dignity, and don’t embarrass us Earthlings.”
< br>
As the last word blurted out, Tony Stark took the lead in rushing towards Thanos, raised his hands and instantly released two big force field slaps, directly giving the opponent a clasped hands.
Boom!
After the deafening loud noise, everyone saw that Thanos was wrapped in a ball of purple energy, and he was completely unharmed.
But this was obviously what Iron Man expected.
What's more, he didn't stop. Instead, he opened the weapons depot after approaching and fired a bunch of small missiles directly from the magazine.
At first, Thanos didn't take these gadgets to heart.
But when the first one exploded, small artificial black holes were instantly formed.
Although it only lasted less than a second, the terrifying aura still made the Eternal Titan feel threatened, and he immediately activated the Reality Stone to twist all the remaining missiles into harmless fireworks.
You don’t need to ask to know that these miniature artificial black hole missiles are actually dangerous gadgets created by Tony Stark after cracking the technology of the dark elves in this universe.
If it were Thanos under normal circumstances, he might have been directly torn to pieces by the black hole missile and died.
After all, there may be a chance of surviving if you fall into a black hole, but if your entire body is torn apart by two black holes, you will definitely die.
This is why this black hole missile is made so small.
The purpose is to control the size of the black holes so that a person's body can be torn apart by at least two black holes at the same time.
It must be said that after giving up those persistence and moral bottom lines, Tony Stark is definitely the most dangerous weapons manufacturing expert on the planet.
“You are great!”
Thanos glanced at the armor on his body that was torn apart by the black hole and sighed in admiration.
"Of course I'm great! Because I'm Tony Stark!"
Iron Man raised his chin slightly and proudly announced his name.
"Ah, I know you, a person cursed by knowledge."
Thanos raised his fist and knocked the rushing Hulk to the ground with a bang. He punched out continuously at a very fast speed, knocking the angry fat green man into confusion.
Just when he was about to have some fun with this tough guy, Thor and his new hammer flew straight over.
Almost at the same time, Captain America, who was shining with divine light all over his body, also brandished his sword and attacked from the right.
Scarlet Witch Wanda even used chaos magic to directly distort reality, and cooperated with Doctor Strange to try to restrain Thanos so that he could not move.
Quicksilver used an enchanted dagger to draw a deep bloodstain on Thanos' face with his super speed that could not be detected by the naked eye.
If he hadn't reacted in time and made evasive movements, he would have been blind in one eye by now.
Ultron, Ant-Man, and Spider-Man even rushed forward to seize the glove with four infinity stones.
There is no doubt that this group of superheroes obviously intends to join forces to win the final BOSS.
"Hahahahaha! Good! Very good! This is what I expected!"
Thanos was obviously irritated, laughing maniacally and clenching his fists.
In an instant!
The purple power gem was lit first, and then all the restraints on him collapsed.
Immediately after the blue space gem lit up, several moving superheroes found that their positions suddenly changed. They were originally directed at the enemy, but now they were hitting their teammates.
The third thing that was lit was the Reality Stone, which instantly turned the legs and arms of Quicksilver, who had super speed, into a limp and unable to move state.
It took Thanos less than a second to completely neutralize the attacks launched by these superheroes.
Not only that!
Thor's hammer still hit the Hulk, and Captain America's sword almost stabbed Spider-Man and Ant-Man through each other. Iron Man collided with Ultron, who had not had time to dematerialize, and both fell to the ground. .
But Thanos still stood there without even moving.
"Oh - well, I shouldn't have any expectations for them."
The Kryptonian girl Kara, who was hiding in the dark and originally planned to watch the show, couldn't help but complain. .
In her opinion, when so many people come together, even if they can't beat them, they should still perform well.
But the actual situation is far from imagined.
"It seems that the hell lords told Thanos how to maximize the power of the infinite stones. This game is getting more and more interesting."
Zuo Si touched his chin and revealed Playful expression.
There is no doubt that the Thanos in front of us is much stronger than the one in the original timeline.
The latter is a complete weakling, and was almost robbed of the Infinity Gauntlet several times.
But let alone grabbing the Infinity Gauntlet, even getting close to him became impossible.
The only three people present who can pose a threat to her, Scarlet Witch Wanda is too young and immature to exert the true power of chaos magic, and the same is true for Doctor Strange.
The only Ultron who wanted to take action was knocked away by Iron Man.
"Do you need me to help them?"
Kara asked eagerly, obviously her hands were itchy.
But Zuo Si shook his head gently: "No, no need.
Let this stage be given to these humans who are eager to prove their worth.
After all, the hymn of human beings is the hymn of courage. .
No matter what the outcome is, they at least fought for the survival of their own race and civilization. "
Speaking of this, Zuo Si suddenly paused and turned around to face the golden figure that appeared out of thin air. Smiling and asked: "Do you think I'm right?"
"Of course!
If a race and civilization doesn't even have the courage to burn its boats and perish with its enemies, then it doesn't deserve to be saved.
Do you still remember the famous saying of the Empire?
No sacrifice is too big to bear, and no betrayal is too small to be ignored.
I believe that the humans in this universe must have the same spirit as my people.”
The Lord of Mankind from the Warhammer universe puts his views straight.
You don’t need to ask to know that the reason why he appeared here at this time is to observe how humans will react when facing a powerful enemy that cannot be defeated.
Should he fight to the end in darkness and despair, or should he just lie down and wait for Zuo Si's miracle?
If it is the latter, it means that the humans on earth in this universe are not worthy of him.
But if it is the former, then the Lord of Humanity will consider agreeing to the reincarnation plan proposed by Zuo Si after completely defeating the evil god of subspace chaos, and leading these brave people to embark on a great expedition to sweep across the entire galaxy and even dominate the entire universe.
