Chapter 115. Vulture and Spider-Man! (Please subscribe!)
The Helicarrier and the Vibranium Mountains rose into the sky. Black Panther knelt on the scorched earth, looking up, as Eustass had already led his people, escorting the Vibranium, away from Wakanda.
He looked back; the place where the Vibranium Mountains once stood was now just sky, and smoke billowed over the city of Wakanda. The former Wakandahad dissipated into thin air.
In the sky.
Eustass stood atop the rising Vibranium Mountains, calmly glancing back at Wakanda. Faintly, flames were still rising within the city.
Burning, huh? Isn't this quite the spectacle?
He condensed a String-Gun in his hand. Eustass wrapped Conqueror's Haki around the gun body, then violently hurled it at Black Panther.
The String-Gun, coated in Haoshoku, streaked across the sky like a black lightning bolt and rapidly descended.
The next instant.
The String-Gun instantly struck, piercing straight through Black Panther's body.
Black Panther let out a muffled groan, his head drooping.
[The host has defeated Black Panther TChalla!]
[Reward obtained: Observation Haki Range ×2!]
The Vibranium Mountains and the Helicarrier both became invisible in the air, and even the sky above displayed a virtual projection to hide them.
At the same time.
Satellites of various countries around the World.
A large number of satellites were focused on Wakanda.
When the Vibranium Mountains suddenly vanished, intelligence organizations worldwide were instantly flummoxed.
Large numbers of fighter jets were dispatched towards the Black Continent.
A few hours later.
Black Continent.
Above the ruins of Wakanda.
Many fighter jets continuously circled overhead, constantly scanning the area.
The result was disappointing for them: Joker and his people had cleaned up thoroughly, taking every single Vibranium weapon from the battlefield.
Several more hours passed, and large numbers of ground troops arrived.
As a result, various organizations began fighting fiercely over the remaining Vibranium artifacts in the ruins of Wakanda.
Under the cover of night.
Eustass stood on the Vibranium Mountains, as clouds slowly drifted past them.
A phone rang.
"The signal is really good up here."
Eustass looked at his phone and joked with a smile. Of course, the signal strength was determined by the altitude.
Eustass held the phone, checked the number, and saw it was Peter Parker.
He chose to answer.
"Hello Peter, how has school life been lately?"
Eustass asked with a smile.
"Uh, not bad. I feel pretty... pretty good, that's all."
Peter Parker said nervously, sounding like he desperately wanted to end the call.
"What's wrong? You called me, and now you want to hang up. Are you going to throw a tantrum like a girl? Or whine like a little brat who needs comforting?"
Eustass teased him with a laugh.
"Also, I hear thrusters nearby. Is Stark with you?"
Eustass asked.
"Yes, I... guess he's nearby."
New York.
By a river.
The nano armor hovered, spraying flames. Stark was remotely controlling the Armor, chatting with Eustass via the phone held by Peter.
"Remote conversation?"
Eustass's voice came through the phone.
"That's right."
Stark remotely controlled the Armor, making it wave.
"You certainly know how to have fun. Tell me, what's going on? Did this little guy cause trouble for you?"
Eustass asked with a smile.
"As you said, he caused a little trouble. Honestly, I shouldn't have let him participate in that event."
Stark said helplessly.
"Nonsense, he's only in high school. He should be enjoying this wonderful time, not running around being some damn hero."
Eustass complained helplessly.
Peter has no future as a Superhero; in the end, he'll just get curb-stomped by Eustass.
"Are you in New York lately? I'm out of town and need someone to help me keep an eye on this kid. He's really too mischievous."
Stark pleaded quickly.
"No, I'm not in New York. My suggestion is to confiscate his gear, keep a close watch on him, and tell his Aunt Meithat he's Spider-Man if he keeps sticking his nose where it doesn't belong."
After Eustass finished speaking, he ended the call.
By the river.
Peter was about to object, but Eustass had already ended the call.
"Did you hear that, you brat? Your idol told you to mind your own business."
After Stark spoke, he controlled the Armor to grab Peterand fly into the sky, taking him to change his gear... Black Continent.
In the sky.
On the Vibranium Mountains.
Eustass looked at the massive amount of Vibraniumbefore him and decided to have his subordinates start using it to forge Vibranium equipment.
At the same time, he took two bags of Heart-Shaped Herb seeds from his pocket.
He gave orders for people to take care of these seeds and plant the Heart-Shaped Herb.
The Heart-Shaped Herb grants the Black Panther Power, but this power is quite ordinary to Eustass.
Eustass didn't need it, but he could grow it for his family and his subordinates.
It was still quite good for others to gain the Black Panther Power using the Heart-Shaped Herb; at least they would have the ability to protect themselves during a major conflict.
He wouldn't have to worry about anything happening to his family anymore.
Eustass arranged many things. Once everything was settled, he stood on the Vibranium Mountains and looked around, thinking that using the Vibranium Mountains as another Base in the future wouldn't be a bad idea.
This place could be used to cultivate the Heart-Shaped Herb, continuously creating Black Panther Warriors for him, while also mining Vibranium and forging Vibraniumweapons.
Vibranium weapons, whether used to create cold weapons or firearms, are highly effective.
Several days later.
New York.
Queens.
Mora Group Tower.
An advertisement was displayed on the tower's screen.
A man wearing a massive Mechanical Wing Device sat atop the opposite building. He watched the advertisement, clenching his fists.
After Secretary of State Ross stepped down.
Eustass's Mora Group launched the Mora Superheroes Company.
The contracted heroes were Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Eustass signed a contract with the local New York government, requiring Scarlet Witch and Quicksilverto serve as Superheroes protecting New York for five years.
During these five years, the local New York Government needed to pay the Mora Superheroes Company billions of U.S. dollars in compensation.
Eustass and New York were conducting an experiment, using New York as a pilot city to gradually replace the term "Volunteer Police" with "working Superheroes."
In fact, this was similar to the Superheroes company in The Boys next door.
Except Eustass didn't manufacture Superheroes, nor did he engage in those dark secrets.
Vulture Adrian Toomes stood on the rooftop of the opposite building. Ever since the Battle of New York many years ago, when he faced bankruptcy, he embarked on a path of no return.
Adrian modified this suit of Armor to engage in various clandestine arms sales for profit, making his family rich.
However, lately, he had become increasingly low-key, because Superheroes had been legalized due to Eustass's actions.
Consequently, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver frequently appeared in the New York neighborhoods, responsible for dealing with various villains.
Adrian had no choice but to keep a low profile.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver.
Plus, Little Spider often came to cause trouble, and he was almost surrounded by a group of Agents.
Now, Adrian had been pushed to the edge.
Chapter 116. Dr. Strange and Dormammu's Lackeys! (Please Subscribe!)
"Damn it, you forced my hand!"
Adrian scoffed, staring fiercely at the Mora Group Tower.
Since Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were outside, he thought assaulting the Mora Group Tower now was the best option.
He had been pushed to a dead end, and the Mora GroupTower contained too much black technology; after all, following the Battle of New York, the Mora Group was one of the conglomerates involved in collecting Chitauridebris.
Adrian planned to rush in while the defenses were weak, rob the Mora Group, sell the goods for a high price, and thoroughly humiliate his opponents.
In the distance.
Little Spider Peter Parker, whose gear had been confiscated, quickly ran over, wearing a loose, crude Spider Suit that looked like pajamas.
Peter shot webs from his hands, swinging rapidly toward Adrian, intending to grab and stop him.
"Oh, no, no, no!"
Peter shouted urgently.
"Trying to stop me? Too late!"
Adrian said coldly, spreading his huge Mechanical Wingsand flying rapidly toward the Mora Group Tower.
"DUANG~!"
A layer of faint blue Energy Barrier suddenly flashed at the edge of the tower, hitting Adrian, making him dizzy and sending him tumbling downward.
Peter quickly descended to catch him, knowing this would happen.
The Mora Group was not so easy to infiltrate.
Eustass was extremely cautious.
The next moment, the tower's floor-to-ceiling windows opened, and numerous nano unmanned battle armorflew out, descending. One unit immediately grabbed Adrian, its nano material shifting to form a tight, body-hugging cage, firmly restraining Adrian's body.
Then, the other Armor units flew over and dismantled Adrian's wings.
Peter landed nearby and noticed one of the nano unmanned battle armor turning to look at him.
"Uh oh, I have a bad feeling."
Peter said in panic.
"Peter Parker, photos of you roaming the city as Spider-Man have been sent to your Aunt Mei's phone. Good luck."
One of the nano unmanned battle armor replied.
Having said that, the nano armor units grabbed Adrianand flew toward the tower.
"Hehe, I can explain!"
Peter kept shouting, but the nano armor units didn't reply; they were just running a pre-set program.
Adrian, held completely by the nano armor, was flown toward the top of the tower.
The Mora Superhero Company had a great start shortly after opening, Adrian was truly too considerate... Under the cover of night, along winding mountain roads.
A sports car sped quickly along the mountain path.
Dr. Stephen Strange drove his sports car, speeding along the mountain roads, preparing to attend a banquet.
At the same time, he was chatting with a colleague.
"Hey buddy, listen to me. The Mora Group's regeneration cradle is certainly good, but who among ordinary people can afford that thing? Your worry that we Doctors will be replaced by the regeneration cradle is completely unfounded."
"Feel like your authority is being challenged?"
"Mm-hmm, a little, but I believe my medical skills will only get better in the future."
Strange said with a laugh.
"Then do you think you can afford the regeneration cradle?"
The colleague asked, chuckling.
Strange glanced at the call interface, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
He frequently spent whatever he earned; being extravagant, he couldn't save much money.
"You know me, I'm afraid I..."
The next moment, the sports car suddenly hit another vehicle. There was too much standing water on the road, causing the sports car to skid, spin, and crash into the distance.
The sports car smashed through the guardrail, and Strange cried out, tumbling down the mountain along with the car.
One day later.
Inside the hospital.
Strange slowly woke up.
He looked horrified at his hands, which were filled with steel pins fixing the bones.
It was over; his hands were ruined.
Ruining his hands was fatal to Strange's career as a Doctor.
Several days later, Strange made a suggestion, and the hospital immediately implemented a plan to operate on his hands. The result was disappointing: the surgery was unsuccessful.
Strange could certainly cure injuries like this, but unfortunately, his hands were injured, and he couldn't cure himself... This was the classic case of a healer who cannot heal himself.
Finding a Doctor more skilled than Strange was simply too difficult.
Someone at the hospital suggested that Strange go to the Mora Group and apply for regeneration cradletreatment.
However, Strange slid his finger across the phone screen with trembling hands, saw the exorbitant price for a single use of the regeneration cradle, and gave up.
Having surgery at the hospital had already nearly exhausted his meager savings.
The money he currently possessed wasn't even enough for a fraction of the cost of one regeneration cradletreatment.
Day and night, Strange ran to the entrance of the Mora Group to stake out the place, but the results were disappointing; he couldn't manage to find Eustass and Helen Cho, the couple... Strange grew increasingly decadent, and he urgently went to look for Stark, but couldn't find him either.
Stark was currently busy with the matters concerning the New Avengers Headquarters.
Besides, when Stark had a pile of shrapnel near his heart back then, Strange never offered any help.
Strange also wasn't sure if Stark would be willing to help him with this favor.
He became increasingly decadent and angry.
He even directly yelled at the girlfriend who wanted to take care of him until she left.
Strange's arrogance was also formidable, not inferior to Stark's at all.
He found a patient who was paralyzed but could miraculously walk, obtained information about Kamar-Taj, and immediately took a plane alone to Kathmandu, Nepal.
And there, he met the Ancient One... Several weeks later.
176A Bleecker Street, Manhattan, New York.
Eustass was sitting on the steps outside his house, eating snacks and humming a song.
Not long after.
A man wearing a Red Cloaked Sorcerer Robe suddenly ran out of the New York Sanctum next door, followed by a black sorcerer running out behind him.
Space was folding and warping, and Eustass quickly looked over.
His Observation Haki had grown stronger, allowing him to perceive things more clearly.
He could clearly sense the aura of Dr. Strange, as well as many people wrapped in dark energy running out of the Sanctum.
Strange was still figuring out how to deal with Dormammu's lackeys.
Karl Mordo saw Eustass sitting next door looking over, and he suddenly recalled what the Ancient One had said about Eustass.
"He is so powerful that all of you combined are not his match in a single exchange."
"His perception is extremely acute; he can sense things ordinary people cannot discover, even within the Mirror Dimension."
"He is very warlike. As long as you don't make an enemy of him, seeking his help is definitely the right choice."
"Mr. Eustass!"
Mordo quickly shouted.
Eustass stood up and looked over.
However, in his line of sight, reality remained as it was, and he couldn't see Mordo or Strange at all.
This was the result of Kaecilius borrowing power from Dormammu and casting a Forbidden Spell.
He could cast a powerful Forbidden Spell that warped the real space, yet it didn't affect reality or make the people in reality feel anything. But this was indeed cast in the real World, not manufactured within the Mirror Dimension.
Chapter 117 – Mirror Duel! Ancient One Joins the Fight! (Please subscribe!)
"What's the point of calling him?"
Strange was almost frantic. Seeing Kaecilius and the rest of Dormammu's lackeys chasing after him, he grabbed Mordo and ran.
They were on the magic side; Eustass clearly belonged to the rich-tech faction that used nano armor. Strange didn't believe for a second that Eustass could locate them.
While running, Mordo waved toward the space in front of Eustass behind them; a sparking portal suddenly appeared right in Eustass's path.
"Nice one, pal!"
Strange finally understood: teleport Eustass to where he could see them, so he could sense the spatial distortion too.
Eustass glanced at the sparking portal in front of him and stepped through.
Up ahead, Strange and Mordo were sprinting for their lives.
Under Kaecilius's influence, the ground split and roads sheared apart, yet the cars kept driving along unaffected.
That was the terrifying strength of Kaecilius's Mirror Magic after borrowing vast power from Dormammu—cast spells in the real world while reality itself remained untouched.
And ordinary people would never notice their battle.
Eustass raced forward, saw Strange and Mordo fleeing in the distance and the grim Kaecilius and company behind them, and instantly understood.
Doctor Strange's plot had begun.
This year was insanely busy—Captain America 3, Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Doctor Strangeall piling together.
He'd barely come back to rest when he ran straight into Kaecilius hunting Strange.
Halfway through the chase, space twisted; the road tilted ninety degrees. Eustass flipped through the air and landed neatly on the wall of a skyscraper.
With space inverted, the street became a wall and the building's façade became footing.
He sprinted across the skyscrapers, closing the distance.
He hadn't brought the nano armor at all.
Who the hell brings nano armor for a chill break right outside their own door?
One transport option down.
Strange and Mordo lost their footing and tumbled sideways.
An unaffected bus rolled by; the two plastered themselves face-first against its glass.
A Stan-Lee-look-alike grandpa sat inside, chuckling at his newspaper.
He didn't notice the pair clinging outside, as if they were invisible.
Kaecilius led Dormammu's lackeys in hot pursuit. As spell-casters, they raced unhindered along the ground at full speed.
Strange and Mordo leapt onto a building and scrambled toward its roof, Kaecilius's group right behind them.
Kaecilius glanced back at the big guy bounding between buildings, hastily waved his hands, and conjured a spark portal right in Eustass's path.
Kaecilius dared not fight Eustass.
He chose to teleport him away.
Once he summoned Dormammu, Kaecilius would fear no one.
Above,
Strange gestured, opening a spark portal in the distance.
Kaecilius flung his arms; the building's surface rippled like a wave.
Strange stumbled, and the portal fizzled out.
Kaecilius twisted his hands; the skyscraper bent like a pretzel.
Strange and Mordo plummeted.
Eustass's footing dissolved as the tower warped; the whole district turned into a kaleidoscope.
He kicked off a building and shot toward the distance.
Kaecilius kept sprinting after Strange, glanced back to see Eustass still tailing him, and cast Mirror Magic—steel beams flew in, forming an iron wall in Eustass's way.
Strange cursed and kept running.
Kaecilius closed in again.
"Boom—!"
A thunderous crash—Eustass punched clean through the iron wall and kept charging.
Kaecilius and his dogs, along with Strange, all looked up.
Far behind the wall, Mordo also tilted his head.
Seeing Eustass smash through the wall and run on air with rapid steps, everyone was dumbstruck.
They'd assumed he was a tech powerhouse—who knew he was a martial-arts monster.
Anyone would think Eustass had mutated.
Eustass landed on a platform; a punch made it tremble.
Kaecilius backed off, warily watching him.
At the same time he swiped the air; a transparent blade-like weapon appeared—Mirror Magic.
At that moment,
the yellow-robed Sorcerer Ancient One stepped into the bizarre space Kaecilius's Mirror Magic had created.
Eustass clenched his fist and walked toward Kaecilius.
Kaecilius hastily conjured a spark portal, ready to flee.
Eustass plus Ancient One?
Even a hundred Kaeciliuses wouldn't dare fight them.
A martial artist and a sorcerer—he wouldn't even get a chance to ambush.
Kaecilius reached the portal, but in the next instant Eustass vanished, reappearing beside him like a teleport, and slapped him away.
Kaecilius hastily cast a defensive spell.
The slap landed, pressing his own spell-clad arms against his body, and he flew backward.
Mordo stared at Ancient One in disbelief.
A red sigil glowed on Ancient One's forehead.
"It's true—she really has been drawing power from the Dark Dimension!"
Mordo gasped.
Eustass glanced at Ancient One, unconcerned.
She was the big-shot who borrowed and never repaid; he saw no need to worry for her.
He turned to Kaecilius and the Dormammu lackeys behind him, clenching his fists.
These were walking bundles of rewards.
The villains in Spider-Man: Homecoming had been so pathetic his company's nano armor handled them.
Now he'd harvest these guys properly.
"Hey, wait, I know you're strong, but there's something you should know—Ancient One has lived for a very, very long time. Don't you want to know why?"
Kaecilius shouted hurriedly.
"Spare me, help me against Ancient One, and I'll tell you."
The moment he finished, Eustass used Shave to flash in and smacked Kaecilius flying with a backhand.
Chapter 118: Ancient One Goes Offline! Time Stone's BUG Move! (Please Subscribe!)
This Kaecilius actually wanted to trick him with immortality.
Eustass smiled; wasn't this just setting someone up?
He knew what Dormammu was like.
At that time, it probably wouldn't be the immortality the other party spoke of.
Instead, he would be directly devoured by Dormammu.
"Hehehe, I'm telling you, as long as you believe in Dormammu, you can gain eternal life. The Ancient Onedrew energy from the Dark Dimension."
Kaecilius knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. At this moment, he realized that in front of Eustass, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
Eustass ignored Kaecilius and slapped him again.
What nonsense about believing in Dormammu for eternal life? This stuff was just like lending money.
Dormammu offered the loan, and Kaecilius and others, blinded by the massive funds, chose to sign the contract and take the loan.
However, the contract was thick, and they didn't even notice the tricks hidden later.
Firstly, once in the Dark Dimension, Dormammu would only devour them, not grant them eternal life.
Secondly, Dormammu wanted to invade Earth through Kaecilius.
Dormammu only offered a tiny, insignificant loan, yet he could steal humanity's home. This was simply a huge win for him.
Even mortgage lenders would shed tears upon hearing this.
If you want to talk about being black-hearted, Dormammu was the most black-hearted.
Kaecilius quickly manipulated Mirror Dimension magic, and a wall appeared in front of Eustass, crashing into him.
Eustass slammed his palm, directly piercing through the wall, then grabbed Kaecilius by the neck and smashed him to the ground.
Behind them.
Several of Dormammu's lackeys rushed over, attacking the Ancient One. The Ancient One continuously fought, and a transparent, dagger-like substance quickly flew over, piercing her body.
Eustass, who had just slammed Kaecilius to the ground, froze and looked back.
That works too?
The Ancient One's way of going offline was too casual.
He had just used his Observation Haki to sense the surroundings. Kaecilius's subordinate used Mirror Dimension magic to create a transparent dagger and threw it at the Ancient One.
Originally, the Ancient One wouldn't have been hit, but she took advantage of the fight to shift her body, positioning herself perfectly to be stabbed.
Well, to go offline and evade her debts, the Ancient Onewas truly ruthless.
Kaecilius vigilantly watched Eustass. He quickly waved his hands, creating a spark portal, and escaped through it.
Eustass flicked his hand, throwing an almost invisible thread behind him. The thread, imbued with Armament Haki, directly pierced Kaecilius's body.
The spark portal vanished, and drops of blood fell to the ground.
The Mirror Dimension disappeared.
Everyone fell, and Dormammu's lackeys quickly used spark portals to escape.
The twisted and inverted space returned to normal.
The Ancient One's body instantly plummeted downwards.
With a bang, the Ancient One crashed through the glass at the entrance of a skyscraper and fell to the ground.
Eustass and Stephen Strange rushed over quickly.
The Ancient One glanced at Eustass and smiled. Beside her, Stephen Strange was calling an ambulance, and Mordo was vigilantly watching their surroundings.
"Tired?"
Eustass asked.
The Ancient One nodded slightly, a faint smile on her lips.
Eustass sighed, 'Earth's big shot -1'.
The Ancient One was done playing.
"By the way, can the regeneration cradle work?"
Stephen Strange quickly asked.
The Ancient One's expression changed. Was he forcing her to die prematurely?
She wanted to go offline!
If she used the regeneration cradle, wouldn't she be alive?
If that happened, she would have to find a way to die prematurely on the way.
"I'm afraid not. The company's regeneration cradle has had some malfunctions recently."
Eustass shook his head, choosing to respect the Ancient One's decision.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Stephen Strange yelled angrily. He was no longer a Doctor.
Because he had killed people.
Therefore, his professional ethics would not allow him to pick up a scalpel again.
Soon after, the ambulance arrived.
The Ancient One was sent to the hospital. Stephen Strange, as the most excellent and most promising person in the hospital to save the Ancient One, hesitated as he looked at the scalpel.
Whenever he picked up a scalpel, he always felt that his hands were stained with dirty blood.
In the end, Stephen Strange still chose not to operate himself, because he had killed people, and he felt that he was unworthy of holding a scalpel.
Other Doctors were responsible for resuscitating the Ancient One, but as soon as the resuscitation began, the Ancient One's soul directly left her body, her heart rate suddenly dropped to a dangerous level, and the machine screen flickered for a moment.
Stephen Strange's expression changed in surprise. At this point, the Ancient One was almost dead, yet she still dared to astral project.
The Ancient One's soul kept flying outwards, and Stephen Strange quickly astral projected himself and followed.
The Ancient One's soul floated to the hospital rooftop, looking up at the sky where time slowed down, and the lightning slowly dispersing in the clouds, as if watching a time branch.
"I'll leave things to you from now on."
The Ancient One glanced at Eustass, who was sitting on the edge of the rooftop.
"Mm."
Eustass nodded, "But aren't you afraid I'll do something excessive?"
"That's not possible."
The Ancient One shook her head. She understood him; unless it was someone Eustass really disliked, under normal circumstances, Eustass's goal was only to fight and grow stronger.
Wakanda brought it upon themselves.
"You're very confident."
Eustass sighed.
The Ancient One smiled and shook her head, looking back at Stephen Strange flying towards them.
"You two chat."
Eustass said, then turned and left.
Stephen Strange came to the Ancient One's side, trying to get her to return, but the Ancient One started talking with him.
They talked about many things: Stephen Strange's future possibilities, discussions about life, and the problems of the Dark Dimension.
Eustass walked on the rooftop, looking at everything moving slowly around him. The Ancient One was indeed amazing.
Even before death, she could create such a magnificent scene.
[host defeated Dormammu's lackey Kaecilius!]
[Reward: Method for using the Time Stone!]
Eustass was speechless, always feeling that this thing was redundant... Not long after.
The Ancient One died in the hospital. The big shot finally got her wish to go offline and rest.
Eustass was about to leave the hospital when he saw Stephen Strange waiting for him.
"We need your help!"
Stephen Strange quickly said.
"Okay."
Eustass nodded, readily agreeing.
He suddenly thought: Method for using the Time Stone, Dream Fulfillment System, Time Stone.
Could he use the power of the Time Stone to exploit a time loop BUG, then force Dormammu to compromise, and then get a reward?
There was a precedent for enemies giving rewards for retreating in fear of battle.
Stephen Strange waved his hands in the air, and a spark portal appeared.
Eustass and Stephen Strange both walked out of the portal.
Hong Kong Island.
Chaos surrounded the Sanctum. In the sky, a large number of objects from the Dark Dimension appeared, and dark purple gas continuously permeated the nearby streets.
Chapter 119: 119. Dormammu, I Can Play This Game With You Ten Thousand Times! (Please Subscribe!)
Eustass and Strange exchanged glances. Strange went to find Mordo, while Eustass looked at the several Dormammu lackeys in the distance and quickly went to deal with them.
Kaecilius died shortly after being pierced by Eustass's White Thread.
However, a few of Dormammu's lackeys survived, and these lackeys helped Dormammu destroy the last Sanctum.
And because of this, Dormammu had the opportunity to enter Earth.
Eustass watched all of this, then looked down at his feet.
Forget it, no need to fight fire with fire.
Earth hides something extraordinary.
A Thread Blade appeared in Eustass's hand. He raised the blade and directly struck down a Dormammu lackey.
Then, Eustass quickly moved among Dormammu's lackeys, cold light flashing continuously. In a short while, he had eliminated all of Dormammu's lackeys.
It's a pity, though, these weaklings were too weak to drop any rewards.
The Dark Dimension continued to expand. Even if Dormammu's lackeys died, it couldn't stop the Dark Dimension from devouring Earth.
Mordo and Dr. Strange had just walked out when they were shocked by the scene before them.
Eustass used Soru, instantly appearing beside Dr.Strange, snatching the Time Stone from Strange's hand, then quickly heading towards the Dark Dimension using Moonwalk.
"Hey!"
Strange was startled and immediately tried to chase after him.
The next moment, Eustass, holding the Time Stone, gently waved his hand. Time on the ground slowed down, and Strange, Mordo, and the others instantly moved ridiculously slow, as if slowed down more than ten times.
Eustass flew in the sky using Moonwalk, in the midst of the Dark Dimension. The surroundings were bizarre and colorful, with twisted celestial bodies and Strange, dark, and dangerous objects in the black and purple starry sky. He looked back at Earth.
At this moment, only a small section of a street could be seen on Earth, surrounded by the scenery of the Dark Dimension.
Eustass understood.
The destruction of Earth's Sanctums led to Dormammu's invasion of Earth, and the method of invasion was the spatial overlap of a small area between the two dimensions.
Dormammu was continuously spreading his energy to Earth bit by bit, thereby devouring Earth little by little.
Eustass landed on a purple sphere, looking up at the enormous face in the distance.
"You must be Dormammu. I'll give you two choices: leave Earth, or leave Earth."
Eustass said, looking up at Dormammu.
Dormammu turned his head, stunned. What was going on?
"You lowly worm, do you have the memory of a fish? How can you forget what you just said?"
Dormammu scoffed, his giant head floating in the air, sneering at Eustass.
"No, my point is, you can only leave Earth, otherwise, it's a dead end!"
Eustass said, trying to scare him.
Actually, he felt that Dormammu was much more powerful than Thanos.
Given Dormammu's settings and strength, Thanos as the final villain wasn't as oppressive as Dormammu.
"The only one facing a dead end is you. Your World now belongs to me, just like other Worlds!"
Dormammu finished speaking, and a large number of dark purple crystal pillars fell, smashing towards Eustass.
Eustass stood still, picking his nose, looking at Dormammu, his whole body enveloped in Haki.
The dark purple crystal pillars crashed down, shattering one by one, completely unable to harm Eustass.
Dormammu was stunned. What kind of material was this little worm made of?
Is this a joke?
"Dormammu, I said, you can only leave Earth, otherwise, it's a dead end!"
Eustass finished speaking, then quickly rushed into the air using Moonwalk, his hand enveloped in Haoshoku, and punched Dormammu's giant head.
Dormammu let out a wail as the Haoshoku punch pierced through Dormammu's head.
But the next moment.
More of Dormammu's heads appeared throughout the starry sky, surrounding Eustass. Countless giant celestial bodies were controlled and smashed towards Eustass.
Eustass grabbed the Time Stone and used it.
Even though it was his first time using the Time Stone, the method rewarded by the system was indeed very useful and convenient... "You must be Dormammu. I'll give you two choices: leave Earth, or leave Earth."
Eustass returned again, landing on that sphere, looking up at Dormammu.
Dormammu looked at Eustass with contempt, and said coldly, "You lowly worm, do you have the memory of a fish? How can you forget what you just said?"
Eustass smiled and shrugged. Who truly had the memory of a fish?
The next moment, Dormammu shot a powerful dark purple energy beam at Eustass.
Eustass, enveloped in Armament Haki, blocked the attack.
In the starry sky, a large number of Dormammu's heads appeared, surrounding Eustass and unleashing dozens of giant light beams at him.
Eustass used the Time Stone again.
Back to the initial singularity, your youthful face in my memory~
Dormammu looked at Eustass, who had landed on the celestial body using Moonwalk, with confusion. He felt like this guy looked a little familiar?
An existence as powerful as Dormammu would certainly be able to sense the changes from time being manipulated.
"You must be Dormammu. I'll give you two choices: leave Earth, or leave Earth."
Eustass stood on the celestial body, smiling as he spoke to Dormammu.
Dormammu was about to say his classic line when he suddenly paused, looking at Eustass in confusion. No... "What happened? Is this an illusion?"
Dormammu asked, puzzled.
"No, this is reality. You've been genetically modified, and now you're a fat, clumsy fish with only a seven-second memory."
Eustass said with a laugh, teasing him.
"You deserve to die!"
Dormammu roared and attacked Eustass again.
Eustass flew up and kicked, shattering the dark purple crystal that Dormammu had launched, then kicked at Dormammu.
Dormammu suddenly shot an energy beam.
Soon after, the loop started again.
"No, what exactly have you done!?"
Dormammu raged.
"I advise you to leave, Dormammu. Earth is not for you to enjoy. Take my advice."
Eustass teased.
"Die!"
Dormammu roared and slapped at Eustass.
Eustass, his leg enveloped in Haki, jumped and kicked Dormammu's enormous arm, directly breaking it.
The next moment, Dormammu's massive body appeared from all directions, swinging giant fists down.
Time flowed back, returning to the beginning.
Eustass smiled at Dormammu.
"So that's it. But do you really think you can keep me trapped like this forever?"
Dormammu sneered. He had already guessed the outcome: Eustass would exhaust his stamina, his body would collapse, and when he could no longer use the Time Stone, he would be at Dormammu's mercy.
"No, I can play this game with you ten thousand times!"
Eustass said with a laugh, teasing him.
Chapter 120: Thor 3 Begins! Hela Returns! (Subscribe Please!)
With that, Eustass kept the Time Stone active; the time-loop resumed.
Again and again, Dormammu's sense of dread deepened.
He realized the other side was triggering the loop more and more frequently.
A long while later…
Dormammu was nearly broken; when he asked, Eustassanswered, 'This is the 9,888th time.'
This guy really can break ten thousand rounds!
Dormammu was going mad—he didn't want to be trapped in this endless loop.
Who was he? Dormammu!
Wasn't staying cozy in his Dark Dimension good enough?
Why torture himself here?
Dormammu hurriedly declared he would leave Earth.
Eustass flew back to Earth; Dormammu instantly drained his cultists dry, then fled with the Dark Dimension—gone in a flash.
[host made Dormammu flee in panic!]
[Reward: Pirate World Portal charge +2!]
[Pirate World Portal charge: 8/10!]
Eustass' face lit up—only two points left before he could reach the Pirate King World.
Dormammu really is something; even running away gives great rewards. If he'd been beaten, the bar would've filled instantly.
Pity—the guy's a dimensional demon; exploiting the Time Stone bug can't kill him.
Eustass landed back on Earth, stepped onto the street, and waved—time resumed its normal flow.
Strange and the others stared at him in shock.
"Dormammu won't be coming back. Keep the relic safe."
With that, Eustass tossed the Time Stone to Dr. Strange.
"Wait—how are you able to use the Time Stone?"
Strange asked hurriedly.
"Want to know?"
Eustass smiled at them.
Strange, Wong, and Mage Mordo all looked at him expectantly.
"Take a guess~"
Eustass turned and walked off.
The trio were dumbfounded—guess what?
Eustass chuckled. Why should he tell them anything? He'd just popped by to farm a reward.
That's all.
He was merely a passer-by reward-harvester~
…Several weeks later.
Asgard.
Inside a certain cave.
Heimdall sat facing Sif.
"Go find Eustass."
Heimdall handed her his sword.
Sif looked solemnly at the blade, nodded firmly.
She dashed out; the Asgardian refugees hiding inside watched her leave with worried eyes.
Heimdall followed, keeping watch for enemies along the way.
The streets of Asgard were empty and desolate.
Not long after Odin's death, Hela's seal had broken.
Thor and Loki couldn't defeat her; Loki summoned the Bifrost Bridge to escape back to Asgard.
Hela followed, knocking Loki out of the bridge tunnel, then did the same to Thor.
Hela slew several Asgardian warriors and enslaved the palace gatekeeper; Hogun and the royal guard refused her rule and drew their swords.
Hogun fell, and countless Asgardian soldiers perished.
The entire army was wiped out by Hela alone.
The survivors were helpless. Heimdall saw Thor stranded somewhere in the cosmos, unable to return, then glanced at Midgard—Eustass happened to be home.
Over the years Eustass had maintained good relations with Asgard.
Naturally Heimdall thought to seek aid from the strongman of Midgard.
Soon after.
Asgard's Bifrost control chamber.
Heimdall escorted Sif to the bridge, told her Eustass' exact location, and stood guard outside the control room.
Sif stepped to the center, slammed the sword down, and twisted it.
The Bifrost activated; its beam swept toward Midgard—powerful help was at hand.
Heimdall stood at the doorway, watching hordes of undead charge at them—Hela's resurrected legion.
He clenched his fists, ready for battle.
Earth.
Eustass was on his porch, sipping cola and humming, when a beam of light instantly swept him up toward Asgard.
Dr. Strange, who'd dropped by for a chat, stood stunned… Asgard.
Bifrost control room.
Sif looked delighted to see Eustass.
Eustass eyed her in puzzlement—what's the rush?
The instant the thought formed, he felt the ground shake.
He rushed outside to Heimdall's side, took one look, and understood.
"Here, have it."
Eustass handed Heimdall the cola; dense White Threads spiraled around his arms, forming two thread swords.
He charged the undead, blades swinging, cutting them down on the spot.
The cola break was over, but a good fight meant an even better time for him.
The thread swords whistled through the air, never resting.
Eustass slashed repeatedly, piling the undead at his feet.
In the next instant…
Under his control the blades extended, sweeping away swaths of undead.
Seeing the bridge now clear, he retracted the swords and strode forward.
Sif and Heimdall hurried after him.
"It's Hela—Thor's sister. Since she returned, Asgard has been wrecked, corpses everywhere."
Heimdall quickly explained.
"Mm."
Eustass nodded and kept walking.
He didn't care about Asgard's old grievances; he just wanted to beat Hela and claim the reward—nothing more.
Central plaza of Asgard.
Hela stood there; behind her a giant wolf, Surtr, lay baring its fangs at the citizens.
"People of Asgard, you've been misled—tell me where that sword is!"
Hela's lackey, Skurge, shouted at the crowd.
Hela casually pointed at a woman and ordered her dragged out for execution as a warning.
The terrified citizens recoiled.
"Come, Executioner!"
Hela smiled at Skurge, who stood holding an axe, torn.
Skurge raised the axe slowly, hoping someone would stop him.
He feared death, but he still had a conscience.
"Hold it!"
Heimdall's voice rang out.
A White Thread-sword shot in, knocking the Double-Headed Axe from Skurge's hands.
Eustass arrived in a Moonwalk kick, sending Skurgeflying, then planted himself before the citizens, twin White Thread-swords forming as he stared at Hela.
"A Midgardian seeking death!"
Hela raged, brushing her hair; the long locks transformed into countless blade-like strands.
Swish!
Two black swords appeared in her hands, their cold gleam chilling to the soul.
Chapter 121. 121. Eustass Battles Hela, the Goddess of Death! (Part One) Please vote for me!
Hela hurled two Black Sharp Swords straight at Eustass.
The Black Sharp Swords were unmatched in sharpness, whistling as they tore through the air.
The White Thread Sword in Eustass's hand suddenly swung out, directly knocking the Black Sharp Swords away.
A roaring sound came, and large numbers of the Undead Legion rushed over, surrounding Eustass, Heimdall, and Sif.
The members of the Undead Legion raised their swords and charged.
The ground beneath Eustass's feet suddenly began to change, being assimilated by him into a Tide of White Threads.
Countless White Threads rushed toward the Undead Legion, piercing their bodies and killing them instantly.
The Undead, not knowing what death was, continued to howl and charge.
Under Eustass's control, the sea-like White Threads surged toward The Undead.
Hela swung her swords with both hands, rapidly slashing at Eustass.
"Clang!"
Eustass wrapped Armament Haki around his hand and grabbed the sharp sword Hela suddenly brought down. Sparks flew, and Hela's expression was startled.
This Midgardian is a little too strong!
Before Hela could swing the sharp sword in her other hand, the next moment, her body felt a moment of weightlessness.
Eustass grabbed the sword in Hela's hand, swung Helaup, and hurled her into a nearby pillar.
"Boom!"
The Stone Pillar of the nearby building was destroyed by Hela's impact.
Hela quickly let go, but Eustass sensed her movement, anticipated her thought, reached out, grabbed her hand, and slammed her into the ground.
Hela landed face-first, smashing violently onto the ground.
Hela's fury flared, and controlling the earth of Asgard, two massive Sharp Spikes shot out of the ground, stabbing toward Eustass in a cross pattern.
Eustass's Observation Haki had long sensed Hela's presence and knew her intentions.
Eustass, still holding Hela, shattered the two giant Sharp Spikes, then violently hurled Hela into the distance.
"Boom! Boom!"
Hela's body smashed directly through two walls, and she rolled a long distance down another street before finally stopping.
"Damn you, you lowly Midgardian!"
Hela roared in anger. Just as she managed to get up, she saw the Midgardian descending from the air, slamming a punch down at her.
"Die!"
Hela roared, and two Black Sharp Swords appeared in her hands, slashing towards Eustass head-on.
"Clang! Clang!"
The sound of Metal clashing rang out.
Followed by two sounds of Metal wailing.
The sharp swords in Hela's hands were directly shattered by Eustass's fists wrapped in Armament Haki.
Hela looked utterly disbelieving. She quickly rolled backward, waving her hands, causing a large number of Giant Sharp Spikes to instantly shoot out from the earth of Asgard.
Eustass sneered. Just as he landed, thousands of threads wrapped in Armament Haki shot out behind him, forming the shape of a Flamingo Spreading Wings, surrounding and stabbing toward Hela.
Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart: Feather Strike Thread!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
White Threads and Sharp Spikes collided one after another, the spikes continuously crumbling. Hela's fury surged, and gripping a sharp sword, she rapidly charged at Eustass.
Her body continuously dodged and maneuvered, avoiding numerous Silken Threads while constantly summoning Giant Spikes.
Eustass continuously assimilated the land of Asgard, transforming it into White Threads. The tide-like White Threads and countless Giant Spikes violently collided.
The two fought from the district next to the Square, collapsing buildings all the way until they reached the center of the Square. The residents of Asgard quickly retreated under the guidance of Heimdall and Sif.
The Square was pounded into ruins by the pair, filled with potholes and utter chaos.
Next, the two smashed the High Platform. The tide-like White Threads and countless Giant Spikes continuously clashed, and the houses at the edges were all destroyed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The two continuously attacked each other. White Threads and Giant Spikes constantly intersected, and the surrounding buildings suffered, being pierced by White Threads and crushed by Giant Spikes.
Thread Pillars and Giant Spikes slammed into each other, creating continuous loud noises.
In the starry sky.
Inside a certain Portal.
A Spaceship quickly flew out of it. Thor, Valkyrie, and Banner woke up. As they looked at the magnificent Asgard, Thor and Valkyrie were filled with emotion about returning home, while Banner was stunned by Asgard's grandeur.
A massive plume of smoke rose in the center of Asgard. Sea-like White Thread Pillars and countless Giant Spikes intertwined, constantly bombarding each other.
Within that commotion, two figures were constantly fighting rapidly.
They had fought their way from the Central Area of Asgard all the way to the edges of Asgard.
"What is that thing?"
Valkyrie asked, confused.
She hadn't been in Asgard for years and had no idea who Eustass was.
"It's Eustass! He's fighting Hela!"
Thor shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha, I knew it! I knew it! Eustass gets stronger the more he fights. As long as he's here, Hela will be beaten down by him too!"
Thor shouted excitedly, "Father King really should have made him the God of War."
Thor had long noticed that Eustass's strength improvement after every battle was extremely obvious; he was nothing like a normal Midgardian—he was even more outrageous than the Asgardians themselves.
This was one of the reasons he never bothered to expose Eustass.
Of course, the main reason was that they were friends.
"This guy is even more terrifying."
Banner said in surprise.
At the City Edge of Asgard.
Eustass and Hela fought all the way to the City Edge, arriving near the River of Asgard.
He sensed the presence of Thor and the others returning.
Hela stood in the distance, summoning a Giant Spike—far exceeding the height of any building in Asgard—and hurling it toward Eustass.
Eustass assimilated the land of Asgard, turning it into his White Threads. Countless White Threads intertwined, forming an equally massive White Thread Greatsword, which he swung to smash Hela's Giant Spike.
Hela's expression changed. She suddenly discovered a problem: her power was weakening little by little.
Every time Eustass assimilated a piece of Asgardian land into White Threads, her power would decrease by a notch.
"Midgardian, mind your own business! You truly deserve to die!"
Hela was enraged, controlling the Giant Spike to crash toward Eustass.
"Too much nonsense!"
Eustass snorted coldly. The next moment, the Greatsword and the Giant Spike slammed together. The earth shook, and shockwaves surged everywhere.
The Greatsword and the Giant Spike shattered, falling toward the ground.
Numerous houses were flattened, and the ground of Asgard continuously trembled.
The next moment.
Eustass quickly arrived using Moonwalk, smashing large amounts of falling Giant Spike fragments with punch after punch, rapidly closing the distance to Hela.
Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his fist, and he slammed a punch toward Hela.
The Mask on Hela's face was instantly knocked off. Eustass's punch landed on her face, causing Hela to spit out a mouthful of blood and be sent flying.
In the sky.
"Is he going to win?"
Banner asked, sitting confusedly on the Spaceship.
Chapter 122: Eustass vs. Hela, the Goddess of Death! (Part 2)
"Boom!"
The next instant.
Hela instantly burst out of the dust cloud and sent Eustass flying with a punch.
Thor frowned deeply. It wouldn't be that easy!
Hela was the woman who had crushed mjolnir with her bare hands.
In terms of close combat, she was no worse than Eustass.
However, he recalled the day they partied at Stark Tower, when Eustass had squeezed a crack into mjolnir.
Thor smiled.
The outcome was still uncertain.
Eustass's strength had also been continuously soaring.
The next instant.
A figure instantly shot out from the ruins. Countless strands of White Thread wrapped around his arms, weaving together to form two enormous White Threadarms and White Thread Giant Fists.
With Conqueror's Haki coating his fists, Eustass raised an eyebrow and glared at Hela. He instantly compressed his fists backward. Since White Thread was naturally elastic, executing Luffy's moves was effortless.
Behind him was an endless tide of White Thread. The tips of large amounts of White Thread were wrapped in Armament Haki, sweeping toward Hela in an overwhelming assault.
"Midgardian! Consider it an honor to die by my hands!"
Hela roared, sprinting forward rapidly. The ground behind her tore open, and countless giant spikes shot out, flying quickly toward Eustass.
"Boom! Boom! Boom—"
The White Thread Tide and the giant spikes slammed together, scattering fragments of White Thread and remnants of the spikes everywhere.
Eustass's White Thread Giant Fists collided with Hela's fists, and the resulting shockwave instantly spread outwards.
"Boom! Boom! Boom…"
Eustass and Hela continuously exchanged blows, fighting fiercely. Hela's speed was clearly inferior to Eustass's, and she kept taking hits.
However, Hela was backed by the divine power of the entire realm of Asgard, so she felt no fear.
"Die a glorious death, Midgardian!"
Hela roared and punched straight toward Eustass's chest.
Eustass used Observation Haki to sense her aura and predict her movement, grabbing Hela's arm and pulling her to the side. Hela lost her balance and tumbled sideways.
Eustass grabbed her hair, flexed his arm muscles, and slammed Hela violently onto the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Eustass continuously swung Hela, treating her like a flail, slamming her repeatedly onto the ground.
More and more large craters appeared on the ground.
Hela was furious and immediately commanded countless giant spikes to stab toward Eustass.
Eustass released Observation Haki, perceiving everything around him, sensing all the incoming giant spikes, and continuously swung Hela's body, making her crash into the spikes.
Hela conjured two black swords in her hands and threw them at Eustass. Eustass quickly dodged, avoiding all of Hela's attacks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Eustass was surrounded by the giant spikes, but the White Thread waves continuously counterattacked. At the same time, Eustass walked further away, reaching the river in Asgard, where he continued to swing Hela madly.
Hela kept extending her hand to conjure black swords and stab at Eustass, but she couldn't hit him at all!
Observation Haki was too overpowered!
Hela initially used the swords to stab Eustass, but it soon progressed to her trying to stab the riverbed with the swords, desperate to escape.
Although she was supported by the divine power of the entire Asgard realm and was not afraid of Eustass,
Eustass was still continuously assimilating the land of Asgard, causing her divine power to slowly drain away.
Eustass had incredible stamina; after fighting for so long, he wasn't even breathing hard.
His performance truly did not resemble that of a Midgardian.
Hela was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Where did this monster come from?
Aside from her advantage in divine power, she was truly inferior to him in every other aspect.
Eustass could already crush mjolnir back when Ultronwas causing trouble. After so much time had passed, he had only grown stronger.
Strictly speaking, his close-combat ability was slightly better than Hela's.
Hela's strength lay only in having Asgard as her portable charger.
But Eustass also had the cheat of the System's stamina reward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Eustass continuously slammed Hela into the river, sending up massive splashes.
A spaceship slowly descended.
Thor, Banner, and Valkyrie all felt that Eustass was about to win.
Eustass glanced at the three of them, then immediately hurled Hela away.
In the distance.
A giant wolf was rapidly running over, searching for its Master, Hela.
The next instant.
Hela came flying and slammed right into the giant wolf, sending it flying as well.
"Rumble—"
Hela and the giant wolf crashed through a building.
"Thor, what are you waiting for?"
Eustass looked at Thor and asked.
"What?"
Thor looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
"You are Thor, the God of Thunder, not the God of Hammers!"
After Eustass finished speaking, he stomped his feet violently on the ground, instantly charging out and speeding into the distance.
Eustass woke Thor up with a single sentence.
Yes, he was Thor, the God of Thunder, not the God of Hammers.
mjolnir was merely a tool to help him control the lightning.
"Awooo! Awooo! Awooo—"
Fenris the giant wolf rushed forward quickly, and dark clouds gathered in the sky.
Lightning flashed all over Thor's body.
"I am Thor!"
Thor roared and unleashed a punch, and simultaneously, a thick blue bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens.
The lightning was dazzling. When the light disappeared, Fenris the giant wolf lay on the river, roasted.
Eustass had actually done what Odin was supposed to do.
Odin, who had passed away, looked shocked. Had someone else stolen the old father's job?
"Damn it!"
Hela roared, sprinting forward quickly, and threw a punch at Eustass.
Eustass shouted, using all his strength, and slammed a punch toward Hela.
"Boom!"
"Rumble…"
Eustass's punch collided with Hela's punch. The next instant, Hela's body was instantly thrown backward, smashing through building after building, which continuously collapsed.
Just as Hela stood up, Eustass quickly rushed over and delivered another full-force punch.
"Boom!"
"Rumble…"
Hela's body was thrown backward again, continuously smashing through building walls.
Just then.
A large spaceship suddenly appeared.
Loki, the third son of Asgard—later changed to the third princess—made a dazzling entrance, standing at the spaceship's doorway.
Hela happened to be sent flying right toward him by Eustass.
Eustass followed up using Moonwalk, passing right by.
He glanced at Loki:
"You should be wearing a dress, Princess Loki."
Eustass joked with a smile, using Moonwalk to continue chasing Hela.
"Ahhh! Eustass!"
Loki was just about to make a heroic, dazzling entrance to save the citizens of Asgard and display the King's benevolence, but his image was instantly ruined.
Whenever Loki encountered Eustass, it was like a drop of water hitting hot oil—he immediately exploded.
Any trace of rationality instantly vanished.
Chapter 123. Hela Defeated! Asgard Explodes! (Please Subscribe!)
The Breaker of Asgard's Third Princess — Eustass.
With one sentence, he made the God of Mischief lose his mind. He did it.
Loki wanted to rush forward and fight to the death, but the aliens who had escaped with Loki on the ship quickly hugged Loki, preventing her from charging.
Good heavens, their legs were trembling from watching Eustass and Hela battle.
This one still dared to go and fight him to the death.
Luckily they stopped her, otherwise Loki would have been embarrassed herself.
"Loki!"
In the distance, Thor, standing on Asgard's river, quickly called out.
"Thor!"
Loki looked at her brother in surprise.
"Why aren't you wearing a skirt today?"
After Thor said that, Loki's sanity dropped by 100!
"You shut up, you muscle-brained, simple-minded idiot brother!"
Loki instantly flew into a rage, cursing repeatedly.
Thor smiled, thinking that his sister Loki was indeed the cutest.
"This won't do. The longer Hela stays in Asgard, the stronger she becomes. Eustass will be defeated by her sooner or later. Loki, go to the underground treasury and place Surtur the Fire Giant's crown on the Eternal Flame.
Eustass cannot kill Hela, and we need to create Ragnarok!"
Thor shouted loudly.
Loki thought for a moment, regained some composure, and quickly went to the underground treasury beneath the royal palace as Thor instructed.
In the distance, Eustass was still fighting Hela, a grand spectacle. White Thread waves and countless giant spikes crashed together, but Hela couldn't break Eustass's defense, and Eustass temporarily couldn't kill Hela, who was supported by the divine power of all of Asgard.
One's defense was outrageously tough.
The other's power bank was fully charged.
Thor arrived, releasing lightning, and threw a punch at Hela.
The unexpected happened.
Eustass and Hela both raised their legs and kicked him.
Thor was sent flying directly.
Eustass was annoyed that someone interrupted his battle and affected his rewards. Hela, on the other hand, was teaching a lesson to this insolent younger brother who showed no respect for his elder sister.
Large areas of Asgard's land were being assimilated into White Thread, and the divine power Hela relied on was continuously weakening. Could Eustass not sense it?
He sensed it, and it was within his expectations.
Eustass punched Hela in the face, sending her flying. Hela crashed through numerous buildings and flew into the distance.
The next instant, Hela quickly stood up, stomping the ground, and a massive spike rose beneath her. Behind her, countless giant spikes followed her as she charged towards the enemy.
In the distance, Eustass assimilated the ground, turning it into a White Thread ocean, and rushed forward with Moonwalk. Behind him, as far as the eye could see, was White Thread, all following him as he charged towards Hela.
"Rumble—!"
The White Thread and giant spikes clashed again, shaking the very earth.
Eustass dodged Hela's attack, then punched her in front, sending her flying.
The next instant.
Asgard's magnificent palace ignited with roaring flames. The palace caught fire, and the next moment, an explosion sounded. Surtur, the Fire Giant, reborn bathed in the Eternal Flame, burst through Asgard's palace, roaring as he looked at the land, his eyes glowing red with burning fury. He wielded a giant flaming sword and swept it across the ground.
Hela turned to look, her face furious, and quickly released a large number of giant spikes, stabbing towards Surturthe Fire Giant.
Surtur the Fire Giant swung his sword fiercely, shattering the incoming giant spikes.
"Asgard, your nightmare has arrived! Hahaha!"
Surtur laughed wildly, slashing his sword at a mountain, instantly destroying and collapsing it. He kicked it, and the mountain turned into a volcano, which he kicked towards the starry sky outside Asgard.
"Damn it, damn it, Surtur!"
Hela roared in fury, watching the Fire Giant raise his giant sword, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Asgard, filled with immense anger.
"I think you should be called the God of Earth, not the Goddess of Death. How about calling you the Earth Matron?"
In the distance, Eustass mocked.
Hela instantly flew into a rage, but stopping Surtur was more important.
She endured it!
Hela waved her hands, and countless giant spikes rose with her into the air, stabbing towards the Fire Giant's massive body.
Surtur the Fire Giant glanced at the Midgard bug suspended in the air in the distance, constantly stomping on the air with his feet. He plunged his sword into Asgard's ground with one hand and casually waved the other, intending to swat the Midgardian to death.
Eustass's expression instantly darkened. He looked at Surtur with an unfriendly gaze, and a giant thread swordcondensed in his hand. The thread sword instantly slashed through the air.
A burning flaming left arm flew through the air, and Surtur the Fire Giant was stunned.
What a powerful Midgardian!
"You... seek death!"
Eustass's voice was still lingering in the air, but he had already used the Razor technique to instantly charge in front of Surtur.
Eustass wielded the giant thread sword, which was imbued with Conqueror's Haki, sparking and flashing with lightning all the way, taking down the Fire Giant with one strike.
A cold light flashed, and the Fire Giant was decapitated.
The massive head of the Fire Giant crashed to the ground with a rumble, crushing and igniting numerous buildings.
[host defeated Surtur the Fire Giant!]
[Reward obtained: Stamina x5! Fire Resistance maxed out!]
Eustass hovered in the air with Moonwalk, watching Helain the distance, desperately trying to stop Asgard's fate of destruction.
After the Fire Giant's massive body fell, it directly pressed its giant flaming sword into the land of Asgard, piercing through Asgard's ground.
As everyone knows, Asgard's land is merely a foundation floating in space; it is not a normal Planet.
The foundation itself was not thick.
After Surtur the Fire Giant was revived by bathing in the Eternal Flame, both his body and his giant flaming sword became extremely massive, just enough to destroy Asgard.
As soon as the giant flaming sword pierced through Asgard's land, the entire region of Asgard began to collapse.
However, without the Fire Giant's power, Asgard's destruction was a bit slower than in the original storyline.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Hela raged uncontrollably. Her Asgard was on the verge of collapse, and the endless divine power she relied on would also cease to exist.
Eustass watched Hela's impotent rage. To be honest, sometimes he thought Hela was quite unlucky.
First, she was ambushed and sealed by her father due to a disagreement.
Then, just when she was finally about to return and take control of everything, what's wrong with her venting a little? After all, Odin the old dog was in the wrong to begin with.
When other families' fathers and sons or fathers and daughters disagreed, at most the father would scold a few words to assert his presence.
But in Odin's family, it was good that he ambushed his daughter at the slightest disagreement. Is this good? This is not good, it's not honorable~
As a result, Thor and Loki, the siblings, would rather destroy Asgard than give Hela the throne. Who wouldn't have a mental breakdown over this?
So, Hela was a hero during the Asgardian war, but after the war, she was just a piece of trash, right?
Eustass looked at Hela, who was charging towards him in the distance, and smiled.
It was fine to just idly think about the drama in Odin's family, but in battle, he would not pity Hela.
The next instant.
Eustass instantly appeared before Hela and punched her in the face.
Chapter 124. The Purple Sweet Potato Spirit Misses! The Birth of Fat Thor! (Please subscribe!)
Hela was directly sent flying.
Asgard was collapsing, and the endless divine power supporting her was also disintegrating; her advantage against Eustass would vanish completely.
On the refugee spaceship.
"The extent of the damage is actually fine. As long as the foundation remains, we can rebuild our home."
The Rock Man stood inside the ship, looking at Asgardand sighing, "This place will still be filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, becoming a paradise envied by the entire Universe."
The next moment.
With a massive explosion from Asgard, the entire land mass detonated.
The Rock Man quickly shut his mouth... Asgard.
The entirety of the already unstable Asgard exploded instantly.
Eustass was covered by the nano core, ensuring he could breathe normally in space and was unaffected by radiation or ultra-low temperatures.
Eustass looked at Hela in the distance, his feet jetting flames as he flew rapidly toward her. His fist was wrapped in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and his body was shrouded in black lightning as he slammed his fist into Hela.
"Pfft!"
Hela spat out a mouthful of blood.
Eustass's fists rained down continuously. Amidst the countless Asgard debris in this starry sky, Eustass would send Hela flying with one punch, and the next punch would immediately follow, knocking Hela away.
Hela's body smashed through chunk after chunk of Asgard debris as she was sent flying into the distance.
Until Eustass punched right through her body.
[The host has defeated Hela, the Goddess of Death!]
[Reward acquired: Stamina x4! Strength x4! Conqueror's Haki intensity x4!]
Eustass's expression brightened—Hela dropped gold!
He glanced at the lifeless Hela, then turned and flew toward the spaceship.
Upon reaching the ship, Eustass retracted his nano armorand looked at Sif and the others.
"I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Loki ran over, clutching a dagger.
She hated it!
Why did she become Princess Loki?
Yet Eustass could comfortably remain his playboy self.
This comparison made the damage shoot right up.
Eustass threw a punch, instantly knocking Princess Lokito the ground.
"Has everyone decided where they're going?"
Eustass asked.
"Earth, probably. I don't know if they'll welcome us."
Thor quickly asked.
"Of course they welcome you, brother. When I go back, I'll buy you a piece of land overseas. Where do you want to establish New Asgard, by the sea or in the mountains?"
Eustass asked with a smile.
"I want to be close to a small fishing village so my people can have some source of income."
Thor laughed.
"OK."
Eustass nodded with a smile. Then it would be the old place—the small fishing village near Norway where Odin's ashes were scattered—to establish New Asgard.
Presumably, whenever Thor stood on the cliff edge, smelling the fresh sea air, he would be reminded of his father.
Hela was ecstatic, giving endless thumbs-up... Saying this, Eustass pulled out a Space Stone:
"Set the ship to stealth mode, so we don't cause misunderstanding by suddenly appearing on Earth."
A crew member quickly went to operate it.
Under his control, the entire space refugee ship instantly vanished, appearing in the sky above Earth.
Heimdall returned the Happy Water that Eustass had given him; Eustass immediately tossed it to Thor.
Thor twisted off the cap and took a sip. His eyes lit up—this stuff was delicious!
*Burp*~
Earth.
Norway.
In the sky above.
Eustass waved his hand at Thor and the others, signaling them to calm down first.
Then Eustass took out a communication device and contacted Helen Cho on the surface, asking her to help him purchase a village-sized plot of land in Norway.
Not long after.
Under the offensive of money, the paperwork was completed at light speed.
Eustass had his people smooth things over and manage the relationships in Norway, preparing for the arrival of the refugees.
Now that Thor had recovered his power as the God of Thunder, presumably no one would dare threaten New Asgard.
The spaceship dropped the refugees onto the ground. Eustass helped Thor send the spaceship to be hidden in the Vibranium Mountains in the sky.
The reason was simple: although no one on Earth dared to target the destitute Asgard refugees because of Thor,
it would be very difficult for Earth's high-ranking officials to resist the temptation of such a massive spaceship built with mature alien technology.
After all, many technologies on this ship were urgently needed by Earth today.
Not long after.
Eustass returned to the coast of Norway. At this time, Thor had already begun rebuilding New Asgard with the citizens of Asgard.
In space.
On the original star path from Asgard to Earth.
An immense space battleship flew rapidly, and soon arrived at the location of the Asgard wreckage.
"Where is the spaceship? Didn't you say you found Thorescaping back to Asgard?"
The Purple Sweet Potato Spirit, Thanos, stood at the bow, asking with a hostile expression.
The servants behind him trembled in fear.
Thanos had already guessed the truth about Ragnarok: Odin wanted Thor to be king and sealed Helabeforehand.
But Odin died, Hela was released, and Odin's two good-for-nothing sons couldn't possibly defeat Hela.
If this movie version of Thanos didn't have the Infinity Stones, he couldn't defeat Hela either... So he speculated that Thor and Loki deliberately courted death and destroyed Asgard.
But to be safe, Thanos decided to act like an 'Old Six' and set an ambush along the way.
But Eustass used the Space Stone directly to take the refugee ship away.
Avengers 3's classic opening scene minus one... End of the year.
Norway.
New Asgard Fishing Village.
Thor's house.
The sound of keyboard clicking constantly rang out, occasionally mixed with curses.
The Rock Man walked into the house and saw Eustassand Thor inside.
The two were sitting inside, each at a computer, playing a certain shooting game, shouting loudly, summoning their annual calls.
Eustass was shooting and harvesting enemies in front, while Thor was running around with an axe, using only melee.
Eustass founded the Mora Superhero Company. Now, besides the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, the company also includes Little Spider and Ant-Man Scott, who actively joined.
Ant-Man originally didn't want to continue being a superhero, but without the protection of the Mora Group, he would be monitored by the Alliance Investigation Bureau. He couldn't stand house arrest and surveillance, so he chose to be a superhero instead.
After all, it still earns money... Captain America was originally wanted, but he found that as long as he joined the Superhero Company, he would receive protection, so he also joined.
Eustass was absolutely winning big. He played the villain, and the heroes worked for him.
He didn't bother with small troubles, throwing them to the Superheroes. All he needed was to occasionally spar with the Superheroes under his command to get rewards.
He was truly a life winner. When he had free time, he was either training or playing games with Happy Fat Thor.
"Charge! For Asgard Village!"
Thor controlled his character to charge forward, meleeing several player-controlled characters, then quickly twisted off the cap and chugged down Happy Water.
Eustass glanced at Thor's large stomach, "Seriously, Thor, you should lose some weight."
"Who cares? My burger is here! Thanks, brother!"
Thor took the extra-thick burger handed to him by the Rock Man, quickly took a bite, and then continued playing the game.

"Have you considered joining my company?"
Eustass asked, "You can't just stay in this small village and continue to be so depressed, right?"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. As long as I'm happy, what's the problem? Haha~"
After Thor said this, the character on the screen was shot down, and the happiness vanished.
He tilted his head back and chugged half a bottle of cola.
Eustass sighed helplessly, shut down the computer, and walked out.
Sitting by the dock, Eustass enjoyed the sea breeze.
Sif walked over from not far away. She didn't really want to see Helen Cho, so she hadn't applied for a job at the Mora Group.
Now Sif runs a small Super Hero Company in Norway, with only herself as an employee... There's no helping it; ever since Eustass commercialized super heroes, earning money as one became the only two options for Super-Powered Individuals.
The other choice, of course, was to become a Super Villain and rob banks... Eustass played with Sif's small hand while watching the flowing clouds in the sky.
Thor lost his family and returned to Earth, hoping to pursue Jane Foster again, but failed.
It was hard for him not to be depressed now.
Several days later.
Eustass left Norway and returned to New York.
176A Bleecker Street, Manhattan, New York.
Eustass sat at home, drinking tea, watching the movie Alien, and enjoying a pleasant afternoon.
Before long, the phone rang.
It was Helen Cho.
"Honey, you better come over quickly. I just saw a white shadow on the monitor, but they vanished in the blink of an eye."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Eustass finished his tea, put down the cup, left home immediately, and drove toward the company.
Soon after.
Queens.
Mora Group Tower.
Eustass rushed all the way there and met his wife, Helen Cho, who immediately rushed into his arms.
"It was right here in this lab. I clearly saw someone just now, and I checked the monitors, but that person just suddenly disappeared. None of the detection equipment picked them up."
Helen Cho said in a panic.
After all, she was just a female scientist, not a female warrior.
She routinely carried a nano core on her, but that was only for self-protection.
When encountering such inexplicable phenomena, she would naturally panic.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Did anything go missing?"
Eustass patted Helen Cho's head and asked while looking around.
"A few instruments are missing, but I don't know what they intend to do with them."
Helen Cho quickly replied, listing the names of the missing items for Eustass.
"At least it proves they are human. That's better than something you can't see or guess."
Eustass smiled and comforted her.
"No, humans are scarier."
Helen Cho quickly stated.
"If I smash him, he won't be scary anymore."
Eustass laughed. Helen Cho was speechless; in that case, it really wouldn't be very scary.
"A Quantum Spectrometer is missing. What would they use that for?"
Helen Cho asked curiously. She had recently become interested in Pym Technologies' Quantum Technology, so she was catching up on that knowledge.
A day later.
"I know who to ask now."
Eustass looked at the woman in the White Uniform who appeared on the surveillance footage, connecting her to the Quantum Spectrometer... San Francisco.
Pym Technologies.
"Damn it, it was actually stolen."
Old Pym looked angrily at everything before him.
Originally, he had placed a miniature building on the table. To outsiders, it looked like a toy model, but only he, Hope, and his student Peter Parker knew it was a scaled-down Experimental Building containing a very important device.
That was Pym's machine used to travel to the Quantum Realm, and it was currently still under research.
Pym's wife got lost in the Quantum Realm many years ago; he wants to find his wife, and Hope also wants to find her Mama.
But early this morning, his Experimental Building was gone.
The reason Pym liked to shrink important items and put them away was due to his experience of constantly outwitting the people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Although Pym still runs Pym Technologies, and is protected by Stark Industries and the Mora Group.
Pym's company is the weakest and least influential of the three.
But they still possess one of the World's most powerful technologies, Pym Particles, which can make a person continuously enlarge their body or shrink down to a state smaller than an ant.
This has led many people to try and steal their technology.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation comes looking for trouble every now and then, searching for opportunities to steal the technology.
Pym always has to be prepared against them.
"Uh, maybe the door wasn't locked?"
Peter quickly asked.
"Impossible. This room has an Anti-Theft Device. I would know immediately if anyone entered, but the alarm wasn't triggered."
Pym quickly shook his head.
"Dad, it's Eustass on the phone."
Just then, Hope walked in and handed Pym his phone.
Pym looked at the phone in confusion, quickly took it, and put it to his ear:
"Hello, what's going on?"
Pym quickly asked.
Peter Parker, standing nearby, was a little nervous.
He gets nervous whenever he sees three specific people.
Eustass Mola, Tony Stark, Hank Pym.
Eustass is his idol, the Big Brother who watched him grow up. Their families have a great relationship, and Eustass could step in for Aunt Mei to discipline this Stinky Kid whenever necessary.
And the worst part is, because of Eustass's suggestion, Aunt Mei now knows that Peter is Spider-Man.
Now, Aunt Mei has strictly ordered him not to do such dangerous things anymore.
Hank Pym is Peter's current Mentor, responsible for teaching Peter technical knowledge and occasionally disciplining him.
And Stark is his Life Mentor, always teaching him important life lessons.
Actually, Peter knew Eustass and Pym could also teach him life lessons, but he felt their philosophies didn't align with his.
Peter wants to be a hero, but Eustass wants him to live a simple, happy life without knowing too much. Meanwhile, Pym wants him to be tougher and not act like a punching bag. Peter doesn't communicate well with the Retired Veteran; seven out of ten conversations end in an argument.
"We're missing a Quantum Spectrometer here. A person in a White Uniform broke into the lab and stole something without triggering any alarms. Do you know what's going on?"
Eustass asked.
"White Uniform? Can you send the video over? It would be best if you came over yourself. We're also missing something here—my laboratory is gone. It contained a machine for accessing the Quantum Realm, but it was stolen while still being debugged."
Pym quickly replied.
"Alright, I'll head over as soon as possible."
