Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1051 Thor Surrenders
With every collision in battle, the cracks in the armor spread like a spider web, until the entire armor became devastated and could hardly provide any protection.

Seeing this, Thanos sneered and slowly walked towards Thor who was lying on the ground. The fingers that had been transformed by the Power Stone were flashing an ominous light.

Thanos' fingers gently touched Thor's once indestructible armor, and at this moment, time seemed to freeze.

The armor, made of the legendary Uru metal, was the brainchild of Asgard's top craftsmen and can withstand most known physical and magical attacks.

However, in the face of Thanos' unimaginable power, even Uru metal seemed fragile, as if it were just a thin layer of paper.

The pressure applied by Thanos reached a staggering level of 10,000 tons per cubic centimeter, an unimaginable number, equivalent to concentrating the weight of a small mountain on an area the size of a fingertip.

Such force is enough to penetrate any known material structure. Even the atomic structure inside the Uru metal will collapse one by one under the pressure of this force, making a crisp and desperate metal tearing sound.

As the armor shattered, the Reality Stone was finally exposed in front of Thanos. It flashed dazzling light among the broken metal fragments, like a star just rising from the abyss, with an indescribable temptation.

The Reality Stone was roughly dug out from the Destroyer's armor. It flashed brightly in Thanos's hand, as if celebrating that it had finally found its true master.

Thor fell to the ground, looking at the Reality Stone in Thanos' hand, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness.

He understood that he had been completely defeated by Thanos.

This high-dimensional space, this new dimension created by Thanos himself, has become a cage from which he cannot escape.

When Thanos gently embedded the Reality Stone into the Infinity Gauntlet, the entire space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

Deep red energy gushed out like volcanic magma. It was the initial manifestation of the Reality Gem after being activated. It tried to break free from its restraints and release its full power.

However, Thanos did not let this force run wild.

He skillfully used the Power Gem, a gem that could manipulate all power in the universe, to precisely regulate and suppress the energy of the Reality Gem, converting the energy released by the Reality Gem into a stable energy flow, thus avoiding energy loss and explosion.

At the same time, the Space Stone played its blocking role and constructed an indestructible space-time barrier. This barrier is composed of complex space-time distortions, making any attempt to cross or destroy it futile.

The Space Stone can manipulate the nature of time and space, making the barrier it constructs almost imperceptible to the outside world, let alone being broken.

Under such multiple protections, the energy of the Reality Stone is firmly locked in the Infinity Gauntlet, unable to leak out and unable to pose a threat to Thanos.

The Infinity Gauntlet, after being modified and strengthened, has become the ultimate inhibitor of this energy. It can not only absorb and store the power of the gems, but also prevent the energy conflict between the gems from causing harm to the user.

Under the triple restrictions, the energy of the Reality Stone was completely sealed in the Infinity Gauntlet and could not leak out.

On the surface of the Reality Stone, an invisible and intangible energy field quietly formed. This was a protective measure carefully designed by Thanos to prevent anyone from snatching the Infinity Stones from the Infinity Gauntlet with bare hands.

Not only is this energy field difficult to detect, but as the number of gems added to the Infinity Gauntlet increases, the power of the Infinity Gems will become stronger and stronger, and the energy field formed will become more indestructible.

"Submit to me, Thor."

Thanos' voice echoed in Thor's ears. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the Infinity Gauntlet responded instantly, activating the built-in program mechanism.

The secret mechanism where the Power Stone was located slowly opened, forming an invisible energy circuit between it and the Mind Stone.

The surging purple destructive cosmic energy of the Power Gem flows into the location of the Mind Gem like a tide through the Uru Metal, a metal circuit that is extremely compatible with energy and enchantment, to charge it.

Uru metal, known as the "magic metal" in the Marvel Universe, has extremely unique properties.

Not only can it efficiently conduct and store energy, but it can also perfectly integrate with magical power, making the use of energy more flexible and varied.

At this moment, under the impact of the purple energy of the power gem, the Uru metal circuit seemed to be activated, emitting a faint purple light, which contrasted with the golden light of the mind gem.

As the energy circuit was established, the originally brilliant golden light of the Mind Gem gradually turned into an even more dazzling bright gold.

This change not only means the increase in the energy of the Mind Gem, but also indicates that its ability to control and influence the mind and emotions has achieved a qualitative leap.

Thor, as the direct target of the Mind Stone, immediately felt the brunt of this power.

It felt as if there were thousands of sharp blades strangling his mind. The pain was unbearable and he could only roll on the ground in agony, his eyes closed tightly and uttering sharp wails.

This force not only acts directly on his nervous system, but also attempts to erode his will and make him submit to Thanos' rule.

Under the impact of this force, Thor's consciousness seemed to be drawn into an endless vortex.

He saw his past, the glorious battles, the lost loved ones, and the vision for the future. However, all of this seemed so fragile and vulnerable in the face of Thanos' will.

Thor's heart was full of struggle and resistance. He was unwilling to give in and let his fate be controlled by others.

However, the reality is cruel.

In the face of Thanos' unparalleled power, all of Thor's efforts seem so insignificant and powerless.

Eventually, the clarity in Thor's eyes disappeared, and in the process, Thor's body also underwent significant changes.

His eyes turned dark gold, and this change in pupil color even made people feel that even the pupils were gone, leaving only a dark gold color.

This was a sign that the power of the Mind Gem had completely taken over his body.

The Mind Stone's influence on Thor can be seen as a form of advanced mind control.

It uses its own energy field to interfere with Thor's brain neural activity, thereby controlling his thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

This method of control not only acts on Thor's nervous system, but also penetrates into his subconscious level, so that although he can still maintain self-awareness and independent thinking ability, he can only act according to the will of the Mind Gem.
