Chapter 316 The Black Lotus Can’t Be Enough
Holding the magic knife in hand, Natasha held the belief of protecting the people. With the assistance of Barton, Sif and others, she continuously attacked the Destroyer with the magic knife given by Cheng Long, cutting slash marks on it.
This group of people has successfully contained the Destroyer, and has a faint tendency to destroy the Destroyer.
It's just that the Destroyer is huge and blessed with magic. It can emit divine beams and carry out indiscriminate attacks. Even if Natasha and the others attack, they can't defeat it, and they even suffer casualties soon.
Among the Three Warriors of Asgard, Vostegg and Fandral were hit by divine beams one after another. If their armor had not been able to withstand one or two attacks, most of the areas hit would have been scorched.
Fortunately for SHIELD, both Natasha and Barton were safe and sound. Only Crossbones was injured. His right forearm was hit, and his wrist bone was directly broken by the Destroyer.
The battle continues to intensify, and the casualties become more and more heavy. Although SHIELD has made arrangements early, there are always people who love to join in the fun and miss the opportunity and become a victim of disaster.
Fortunately, not many residents died accidentally.
Single digits are still within control.
In fact, if it weren't for these unlucky guys, the remaining people who love to join in the fun wouldn't have left.
One drink, one peck, one cause and one effect, all have their destiny.
Cheng Long did not feel guilty because of this, although he could avoid many unnecessary casualties by taking action in advance.
But it's not like he didn't give these people a chance. He informed SHIELD early. Those who died didn't leave, but chose to stay and join in the fun and suffer the consequences. Who can blame them?
What's more, he is still a demon cultivator. If he didn't take advantage of the chaos to kill people and suck blood, and do something to conform to his identity as a demon cultivator, he would have already failed.
"Long, aren't you ready to take action?" Daisy, who was staying next to Cheng Long, finally couldn't help but spoke as she watched fewer and fewer people beating the Destroyer.
"It's not that I didn't want to take action, but I did. Thor wanted to regain his divine power, but he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey. Today is the best time for him to lift the seal and transform back into the God of Thunder."
Cheng Long has been watching on the sidelines. It's not that he doesn't want to take action, but that Thor needs to sharpen his mentality. Only this guy understands the sacrifice of his life for justice, can he lift the seal on his body and stimulate the power of the God of Thunder contained in his body.
"What if Thor can't recover?"
"Don't I have the whole story?"
Cheng Long patted Daisy on the shoulder, signaling her to relax and continue holding the ball and watching the show.
The magic knife he gave Natasha to use was only a middle-grade magic weapon, not even a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure. It was able to break the Destroyer's defense. This surprised him. It was difficult to put it on. It reminds me of the Destroyer armor that can compete with the Celestials.
"It must be that Loki's permission to use the Destroyer is too low, or Odin saved a hand and made an imitation of Li Daitao. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that after Thor lifted the seal and smashed the Destroyer with a heavy hammer, Just ignore it..." Cheng Long touched his chin and automatically came up with a more reasonable explanation.
But even though the Destroyer in front of him was suspected to be an imitation, the divine beam it fired was still unstoppable by no one except Cheng Long, leaving it in an invincible position. As time went by, more and more people were injured.
In less than three minutes, Hogan, Sif and others were also injured one after another, losing their mobility to fight the enemy bravely.
At this time, the only people who can still fight the Destroyer are Natasha and Barton. The former has been hovering around the Destroyer to contain the Destroyer's actions, while the latter is standing in the distance and shooting arrows to interfere...
"What to do?"
Thor looked at the situation getting worse and worse, his face full of urgency.
With his eyes, he could naturally see that Natasha would be defeated after a long battle. Although the knife exuding a strange aura in the opponent's hand could split the Destroyer's body, it would heal quickly after being split.
The Destroyer is like a tireless perpetual motion robot, but Natasha's power is limited.
There was a hint of hesitation in his eyebrows, and he wanted to rush forward to help, but thinking that he had lost his divine power, rushing forward now would only hinder others.
For an Asgardian warrior who combines glory and brilliance, he can't intervene in the battle. If he rushes forward, he will become a burden. This feeling is like ten thousand ants suddenly living in his heart, destroying his self-esteem. Chewed it all away.
"Mr. Cheng, I, the Prince of Asgard and the God of Thunder, Thor, now implore you to take action to defeat the Destroyer." After much struggle, Thor finally chose to ask Cheng Long, who was watching on the sidelines, to take action on his behalf.
This is also a helpless move. In the original play, Thor was completely helpless, so he sacrificed his life for the safety of the people in the town at the expense of himself.
But now there are not many people in the town at all, and except for Jane, Daisy and Eric, all the ones left are soldiers.
For Thor, it is a very honorable thing for a soldier to die in battle.
Therefore, he couldn't find a reason to sacrifice himself, he just didn't want Sif, Hogan and others to die in a meaningless fight.
"Are you sure you want me to take action?"
Cheng Long cast a surprised look at Thor.
Although Thor could say such words, it was already a very difficult breakthrough, but he originally thought that if a few more people were injured, Thor would sacrifice his life and release the seal on his body at the cost of serious injuries.
He didn't expect Thor to plead with him.
"Mr. Cheng, as long as you can destroy the Destroyer, I will definitely give you a generous reward afterwards." Thor didn't understand why Cheng Long was reluctant to take action, but the past period of getting along with him made him understand that Cheng Long is not a cold-blooded man. generation.
"Okay, I'll help you with this."
Cheng Long raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a successful smile.
What I want is that Thor owes me a favor!
As for whether Thor can lift the seal, it doesn't matter to him at all.
Therefore, he agreed very readily. He tapped his feet lightly, and like a bolt of lightning, he flashed from the door of the villa to Natasha...
"You've done your best, leave it to me!"
"Hmm~~"
Natasha smiled sweetly and stepped aside decisively.
At the same time...
Looking at the 'little guy' who suddenly stood in front of him, the Destroyer punched the little guy directly. With the size of the Destroyer, its fist was bigger than a plate.
However, facing the huge oncoming fist, Cheng Long had no intention of evading it, and punched him in the same direction.
The Destroyer's huge iron fist and his fist, just from the appearance, are full of gaps.
Bang!
The iron fist collided with the flesh fist, causing a loud noise.
Under the shocked gazes of Natasha, Barton, Crossbones, Sif and others, Cheng Long's body remained motionless. On the contrary, the Destroyer's body could not stop taking several steps back.
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this scene, Sif and the Three Asgardian Warriors opened their mouths so wide that they could almost fit a fist into them.
Patton and Crossbones are no exception!
Only Natasha, who knew a thing or two, showed a proud expression as expected. The better her man was, the prouder she would be as a woman.
Having personally experienced the Destroyer's power, Natasha still couldn't believe it. Her man could actually suppress the Destroyer in terms of strength?
This is really awesome!
If it weren't for the wrong timing, she really wanted to push him down and have a hearty physical fight on the spot.
"Hiss~~"
Jane gasped.
So many extraordinary warriors were unable to defeat the Destroyer, but a casual punch from Cheng Long, a cook, actually made the big guy take several steps back.
Is this still a human being?
Isn't a person's strength linked to his body size?
Although Crossbones and Barton are so tall, their strength is not as strong as that of a cook who is over 1.8 meters tall. This is incredible!
"yes, yes!"
"So cool, dragon!"
"I love you!"
Daisy's face flushed with excitement, and she wanted to rush forward and kiss the other person passionately.
"This guy's strength is even better than mine!"
"Is he also a god?"
Looking at Cheng Long who was enjoying the attention of everyone, Thor's eyes showed a hint of loneliness. In the past, he was the one who enjoyed the attention of thousands of people and was the most handsome boy in the Nine Worlds battlefield.
But now, he can only stay in a safe area and watch people fight like a resentful woman.
"He is so strong?"
Loki, who was far away in Asgard, saw from the perspective of the Destroyer that his remotely controlled armor was knocked back by Cheng Long's punch, and his expression suddenly changed.
Originally, when the Destroyer was thrown into the earth, Thor, Sif and others would definitely die.
The same goes for the person who took away Thor's hammer.
However, reality gave him a slap in the face. The man who took away Thor's hammer not only had the qualifications to obtain the power of Thor, but even his physical fitness was as abnormal as his brother Thor.
"Hmph, anyone who is my enemy is seeking death!"
Loki was furious and controlled the Destroyer to attack Cheng Long.
A lot of strength, right?
You can knock back the Destroyer with one punch, right?
Then I'll let you try the Destroyer's highest level of divine power!
It depends on how you block it!
As soon as he thought of this, the Destroyer far away in the atrium gathered the magnificent and powerful divine power on his head.
Brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter.
Its head is directly locked on the target. If Cheng Long doesn't move, it won't move. If Cheng Long moves to the left, it will move to the left.
Noticing this scene, the five people from Asgard were shocked. The Destroyer's beam attack became stronger when it was strong. Even if Thor released the seal, he would not dare to be targeted by the Destroyer.
Because they all know how powerful it is.
"Natasha, stay away."
Cheng Long's eyes fell on the Destroyer, and there was no panic on his face. Natasha, as well as Barton, Sif and others nearby, retreated into the distance unconsciously, watching the battle nervously.
“Eh~~”
Watching the divine power on the Destroyer's head gathering more and more, Cheng Long suddenly felt the Black Lotus Seed trembling, so he took it out from the storage column.
The next moment.
boom!
A beam of divine power, thicker than his waist, shot out from the Destroyer's head.
But Cheng Long didn't dodge, and actually opened his palms strangely, revealing the dark and shiny lotus seed on his palm.
This made Natasha and others feel surprised and worried at the same time. When the divine beam hit Cheng Long's right hand, the black lotus seeds in his palm actually bloomed with a mysterious and mysterious black brilliance, forming a vortex that would surge. The beam of light is caught in the lotus seeds.
"Boom...boom..."
The continuous beam of divine power continues to erupt as if it is never-ending.
The black lotus seeds in Cheng Long's palm seemed to be a bottomless pit, which would not refuse the divine power beam. Loki could absorb as much as he fired, without feeling full at all.
However, if you look carefully, you can find that the lotus seeds become brighter, and the luster flowing on the surface becomes more and more dazzling.
"How could this happen?"
A minute later, Loki, who continued to output, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked blankly at the black lotus seeds in Cheng Long's hand. What on earth is this thing that can absorb so much energy?
"I don't believe you can suck one down."
Loki gritted his teeth and increased the output again.
However, things went counterproductive.
Two minutes, three minutes, five minutes...
After more than ten minutes, the orange light in the Destroyer's body dimmed, but the strange black lotus seed just floated up from Cheng Long's palm.
Apart from that, there were no other changes, not even the body shape changed, it just became more dazzling.
"After absorbing so many divine beams, there are no signs of sprouting and growing. This kind of seed... is worthy of being suspected of being the World-Destroying Black Lotus." Seeing the Destroyer on the opposite side stop attacking, Cheng Long took back the Black Lotus seed.
He finally understood that if he wanted the Black Lotus seeds to take root and sprout and grow a top-notch innate spiritual treasure like the World-Destroying Black Lotus, it would be impossible without grabbing a few Infinity Stones.
The Infinity Stone that can be taken away by him without leaving any trouble behind is the Mind Stone that Loki obtained when he surrendered to Thanos.
As for the space gem?
If the Rainbow Bridge is not destroyed next, we can take advantage of the chaos in New York and take it for ourselves.
There are also the power gems that are about to appear on Xandar, and the ether gems sealed somewhere.
The minimum number is one, the remaining number depends on the situation, take it if you can, forget it if you can't.
Anyway, infinite gems have a steady stream of energy. One gem is enough to nourish the black-faced seeds to take root and sprout, and grow the ultimate innate spiritual treasure that Cheng Long wants...
"Isn't there any chance of this?"
Seeing that the Destroyer stopped attacking, Cheng Long suddenly stepped forward and punched him one after another. His fists fell on the Destroyer like raindrops.
Although the Destroyer is huge, his punches are hard for even the Destroyer to parry.
Within a moment, the body of the Destroyer became pitted and pitiful.
Under Cheng Long's attack, the Destroyer had no power to fight back.
In terms of strength, Cheng Long, who has absorbed the essence and blood energy of hundreds of thousands of people, is inferior to ten of the Hulks in the movie version. Suppressing the Destroyer is like picking something out of a bag.
On dexterity?
The Destroyer couldn't even hit Natasha, who was traveling at more than ten or twenty meters per second, let alone Cheng Long.
Once the battle started, it was completely one-sided.
"This guy is simply a pervert!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, watching in shock as Cheng Long wreaked havoc on the Destroyer.
When Loki saw this scene from far away in Asgard, he decisively abandoned the Destroyer and began to carry out even crazier actions. He actually aimed the Rainbow Bridge at Jotunheim and took the initiative to send the Frost Giants into Asgard.
One of them is Loki's father Laufey!
