Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 47 The Awkwardness of the Infinity Stones

Hanlu struggled with her hands, her originally steady breathing gradually becoming rapid. The way she was straining was even more strenuous than an ordinary person holding their breath.

Although the description is somewhat vulgar, the meaning is sound despite the rough language.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly turned one of his hands outwards. Suddenly, a familiar red light disappeared from the rainbow-like band of light that filled the sky like mist.

He then opened his palm, looking at the Reality Stone in his hand, and couldn't help but feel excited.

After Belfast kicked the Infinite Hulk away with a single shot, he arrived beside the somewhat exhausted Hanlu, even glancing curiously at the gem in her hand: "Is this the Infinity Stone?"

"Uh, it should be counted as half," Hanlu said with some difficulty.

Well, actually, he extracted a portion from the Infinity Stone that was releasing energy to create the Evolution Truster for John to use, but found that the energy was somewhat depleted.

First, when his consciousness probed into the Infinity Stone, he discovered that it did not possess true "infinite" energy as he had imagined—this was obviously unrealistic, after all, how could something in the universe contain infinite energy that could save everything?

Even the universe eventually perishes, let alone a gemstone.

To use a vivid analogy, he discovered that if the universe is likened to a giant computer, then the six Infinity Stones are like a kind of access key. When they are combined, it's like holding a mouse, allowing you to perform various operations on the universe: you can create or destroy it, although destruction is often simpler.

After all, who doesn't know how to right-click to delete and then confirm?

But who can write such a complex "cosmic code"?

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

Strictly speaking, although the power of the Infinity Stones seems endless, their actual amount of regular energy is not much, probably only around the level of stars.

Looking at it this way, it becomes clear why Scarlet Witch was able to crush the Infinity Stones in the original storyline.

While chaos magic is indeed powerful, in this universe, the Scarlet Witch at that time was actually unable to destroy an Infinity Stone with sheer power.

Just as he thought, what was truly important about the Infinity Stones was the "authority" they contained, rather than the power they directly displayed.

When the Infinity Stones shattered, although it wasn't exactly "infinite," the terrifying energy, enough to destroy the Earth, poured out like a rainbow. Fortunately, the Hulk stepped forward and used his own body to absorb the explosive power, becoming the Guardian of the Souls.

The remaining energy has been continuously dissipated over the past five years. In addition, due to Scarlet Witch's continuous attacks and the depletion of the Infinite Hulk's energy, the originally considerable energy reserves have become less and less as they are constantly consumed.

In addition, Hanlu had just used some of her energy to create Evolution Trusters, which reduced the amount of energy he could currently mobilize:

Yes, but not many.

It's the kind of machine that will overload and explode once it's at full power output.

Hanlu stared at the Reality Gem in her hand, frantically chanting in her mind: Kill Scarlet Witch! Kill Scarlet Witch!

The Infinity Stones' "response" was roughly this: if you can't win, you have to pay a "price".

Hanlu almost vomited blood: You're an Infinity Stone, why are you adding a "price"?

"Please pay the price."

Hanlu nearly threw the red gem in his hand away. His hand fell limply to the ground, and he suddenly remembered that the Dark Elf had to pay a price when he used the Reality Stone—

They demanded perpetual darkness in exchange for the sacrifice of all light.

That's normal. If the light is gone, what's left is darkness, right?

He silently glanced at the zombie queen in the distance, who was single-handedly chasing after the new Avengers, and thought: How much would it take to kill a Godfather-level powerhouse like this? Would sacrificing Thor be enough?

At this moment, Thor, who was being frantically rubbed against the ground by the chaos magic controlled by the Zombie Queen, was being "washed" like a rag. He felt a sharp pain in his head, and after being hit several more times, he was sent flying.

Hanlu was both anxious and helpless, so she could only put the gem in her pocket and continue "digging" for the next gem.

Why does this feel like playing Gold Miner?

"Belfast, protect me, I'm so fragile right now."

While silently complaining, he began to feel the resurgence of a certain degree of "old power" within his body, which was not new.

The strange and wonderful things in the "new world" inside him weren't actually that weak, but those that needed to be hidden still had to be kept hidden.

……

Meanwhile, the brawl continued on the other side.

With Thor and Icarus as top-tier tanks in the front line, aside from Spider-Man, Shang-Chi, and Red Guards who can barely hold their own with spells or the newly acquired power of Thor, most players stay at a distance and act as "mages" for damage output.

For example, there's Lily, the Black actress who makes a cameo appearance as Iron Man, Katie, who plays Hawkeye, and oh right, the Muslim girl Kamala.

In the distance, swords flashed wildly, energy fragments flew everywhere, and red and silver lights intertwined and collided.

Thor felt like his arm was about to break, but the zombie queen's energy barrier was still so solid, not to mention her elusive chaos magic, which easily crushed them every now and then.

Fortunately, Icarus and Thor absorbed most of the damage; their divine bodies were able to withstand most of such attacks.

But this puzzled them: why was this seemingly frail woman so difficult to fight?

Putting everything else aside, just look at that little spider that was knocked away, who grabbed Thor's hammer and slammed it down on the opponent's elbow, pinning him to the ground;

Shang-Chi, who was standing next to her, casually grabbed Captain America's shield and smashed it into her head.

Before he could last two minutes, he was blasted away by the opponent's energy field. The next instant, an explosive arrow hit the zombie queen on the forehead. With the smoke of the explosion, Spider flew back again and delivered a flying kick to the opponent!

That force of tens of tons was enough to kick a tank away, but when it hit the witch, it didn't cause any effective damage at all.

Bathed in the thunder from the sky, she slowly stood up and continued to roar as she launched her attack.

Even Ant-Man, flying through the air, was nearly dizzy: "Doesn't this guy get tired?"

Amidst the onslaught of this group of righteous individuals, Loki, standing in the corner, thoughtfully observed the golden energy mixed within the red chaotic energy emanating from her body, while also noticing the hidden thread beneath her feet.

What is that?

No one could figure it out, not even Loki could understand it all at once.

But for the zombie queen, she had bought enough time.

When she finally grasped the strange "node" hidden in the space, she waved her hand, and the red energy instantly began to erode the originally boundless space.

Then, a scroll-like afterimage appeared, and the Avengers on the outside saw that the strange red and dark space contained a large number of bizarre zombies, as well as a silver giant still fighting inside.

"What is she doing?"

This energy curtain came quickly and went quickly.

But as the hole that John had discovered was patched up, several figures emerged from it.

When they saw who it was, the people who knew them were instantly speechless with surprise.
