Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1040 I am not bringing destruction

These cracks are like portals to the abyss of the universe, swallowing up all the light and matter around them like black holes, as if even time and space have lost their meaning in front of them.

Other cracks are like time-space tunnels distorted by some unknown force. They flicker and flash ominously, sucking in brave Asgard warriors from time to time and throwing them into a distant and unknown corner of the universe, never to be heard from again.

The air was filled with a sense of despair. Even the most determined warriors could not help feeling a sense of powerlessness in the face of this sudden disaster.

The guards of Asgard, those warriors who were once known for their bravery and fearlessness, now seemed so small and fragile in the face of this unstoppable force.

Their weapons, whether they were extremely sharp swords or extremely sturdy shields, all lost their former glory in the face of this force, as if they had become toys in the hands of children, completely useless.

Their armor, even if made of the rarest materials, cannot withstand the invasion from the abyss, and can only barely protect the wearer from direct destruction.

As for their courage, although it is still as hot as before, it seems to become pale and powerless in the face of absolute power, and it is difficult to change the overall situation.

At this moment of despair, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, as if it was the response of the gods to the mortal world. Immediately afterwards, deafening thunder rolled in, shaking everyone's heart.

Thor, the God of Thunder of Asgard, was finally awakened from his dormant rage by this crisis.

Holding the Axe of Thor, he roared down from the clouds like a god of war descending from the sky, vowing to protect the land he loved so much.

There was a flash of angry flames in Thor's eyes. He swung the Axe of Thor. Every swing was accompanied by thunder and lightning. The lightning and thunder intertwined in the air to form a huge net, whistling towards Thanos.

Each bolt of lightning contained enough power to destroy mountains, as if it was going to completely swallow Thanos in the ocean of thunder and lightning.

However, Thanos was like a rock standing in the center of the storm. His figure did not waver at all, and even his expression did not change at all.

Thanos is wearing an armor that shines with golden light. This armor is not only beautiful, but also contains powerful defensive power, as if it can withstand all attacks in the world.

He himself possessed a physique that was stronger than that of ordinary men. Even Thor's all-out attack only caused sparks on his armor, without leaving even a scratch.

A scornful smile appeared on Thanos' face, as if mocking Thor's futility.

"Crackling!!!"

Lightning flashed everywhere, electricity and fire intertwined, and the entire battlefield was shrouded by this powerful force.

However, no matter how hard Thor tried, no matter how fierce his attacks, he could not shake Thanos in the slightest.

Thanos's power lies not only in his armor and physique, but also in his deep understanding and mastery of the laws of the universe.

Having spent a long time in front of the Well of Infinity, Thanos not only pondered, studied, and understood the mysteries of the universe, but also explored the six cosmic laws represented by the Infinity Stones.

Through his unremitting efforts, he finally touched upon the essence of some of the laws of power, and even used the principles of these laws to transform his body.

This made kinetic and energy attacks ineffective against him. Neither sharp swords nor powerful magic could cause any real damage to him.

Each attack only left a tiny mark on his impenetrable defense. "You cannot kill me, son of Odin, even if you have greater power and more diverse means of attack."

Thanos' voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was stating an indisputable fact.

There wasn't a trace of smugness or arrogance in his tone, only a calm statement of facts, and it made Thor feel more frustrated than ever before.

Thanos spread his hands and continued, "Because my existence has been written into the laws of the universe, there is no concept of 'death' for me. This is not a simple reorganization of molecular manipulation capabilities, or the regeneration of infinite cell division, but an 'unshakable' existence. Any attack, no matter how powerful, cannot cause fatal damage to me, let alone erase my 'existence'. You may hurt me, you may make me feel pain, but you can never completely destroy me."

When Thor heard this, a trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in his eyes.

As the god of thunder of Asgard, he would never give up easily. He roared, his whole body bathed in thunder and lightning, as if he wanted to gather the energy of the entire universe into himself.

His hair stood up like angry steel needles, and his eyes were like burning flames.

"Then let me break your rules!"

He couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't defeat this seemingly invincible enemy.

He swung Thor's axe again, and this time, he concentrated all his strength on the tip of the axe, trying to break Thanos's law with this blow.

However, Thanos just smiled slightly, and that smile concealed an unfathomable contempt and confidence.

He slowly raised his right hand and lightly tapped with his fingertips. A faint ripple seemed to appear in the air. This invisible wave spread silently from his fingertips like the light mist in the morning light.

This wave seems harmless, but it actually contains the most ancient and powerful law of power in the universe.

It was like an invisible net that instantly wrapped up Thor's powerful attack, and then dissolved it into nothingness in an indescribable way.

Thor only felt an unprecedented huge force suddenly pushing him back. He staggered back a few steps. The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly due to the impact. Thor almost fell to the ground, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

"You cannot comprehend the laws of universal power, son of Odin."

Thanos said.

"Your power comes from your anger and hatred. These emotions are like fire, burning your soul, but also making you blind and stupid. True power does not come from external anger or hatred, but from a deep understanding and skillful use of the laws of the universe. And I am an expert in this area."

Thor coughed violently several times, and his chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He has indeed been relying on his own strength and anger to fight, but has never really calmed down to understand and comprehend the laws of power in the universe.

At this moment, facing Thanos' calm and indifferent eyes, Thor suddenly realized that he might really not be able to defeat this powerful enemy by himself.
