Chapter 326: Sealing Thanos, the Black Death Sword— a Mysterious Voice
Thanos kept swinging the Black Death Sword in his hand, producing countless black mists that turned into monsters.
He wanted to counter the Wood Dragon summoned by Luode, but the black mist he created would instantly dissipate if entangled by the Wood Dragon, and he himself was repeatedly caught in this strange wooden cage.
Thanks to his extraordinarily strong physique, Thanos could break free, but you can break free once, twice, three times—what about countless times? Moreover, this strange wooden cage could actually drain his stamina.
Even the strange green energy would contaminate his own life; if not for this Black Death Sword, Thanos would have already failed by now.
Meanwhile, Odin raised his Eternal Spear high, golden energy flowing along its shaft.
Thanos could see that his opponent was gathering power; once the Eternal Spear was thrown, it would produce an unavoidable effect.
If struck by the current God King Odin's charged blow, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No need for you to intervene, Odin God King! Believe me, he cannot escape my grasp." Luode clapped his hands together.
The towering wooden figure also extended its arms, and countless additional arms grew from its back, swinging toward Thanos.
Sharing the same Conqueror's Haki, the demi-god-level pressure, the Chakra Fruit's inherent pressure, and the Rinnegan's mental power all acted simultaneously on Thanos, suppressing his mind.
Furthermore, spatial skills were used to seal off the entire space, preventing Thanos from escaping; this Black Death Sword is indeed strange— in the movie, it even had short-range spatial teleportation ability, so Luode had to be cautious.
"I don't even know you! Why are you targeting me?" Thanos said, swinging the Black Death Sword with difficulty, blocking the attacks of the enormous wooden giant and countless wooden dragons.
By now, his subordinates had mostly been dealt with—the Black Obsidian Star Generals and large numbers of cannon fodder troops had already been taken care of by the Shepherd Giants summoned by Luode.
"It's normal you don't know me, but if you insist on periodically cleansing the universe, then I am also in danger in this universe, so you've essentially offended me." Luode spoke while intensifying his efforts, as green branches and vines had already wrapped around Thanos's body.
At the same time, using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, he began suppressing the will of the Black Death Sword— this sword! It possesses self-awareness; its creator imbued it with wisdom when forging it.
"You don't understand—I am acting for the balance of the entire universe. Life is like viruses and bacteria, endlessly reproducing, causing great disturbance to the universe.
Only I have realized this; I want to save our universe." Thanos struggled violently, and the Black Death Sword in his hand also tried to unleash power again, bursting forth with dark strength to help him escape— yet a strange force suppressed it.
Since obtaining the Black Death Sword, this was the first time such a situation occurred— this legendary god-slaying weapon was actually being suppressed; what kind of power is this? What exactly are those green and blue energies? He had never seen anything like them.
"So I say you're too extreme! This universe has existed for countless years— do you really think only your method can work?
Then I ask you: why don't you wish for the Eternal to expand the universe's range? That way, wouldn't there be more resources?" Luode said with a cold snort.
Odin, standing nearby preparing to unleash a killing blow on Thanos, now put away his Eternal Spear, realizing he no longer needed to act.
Thanos is completely no match for Luode— even with the Black Death Sword, it's the same; this kid's strength has grown significantly since their last encounter.
Truly astonishing growth speed!
"Delusional fantasy— the rate of life's reproduction will quickly fill these resources, no matter how large you make the universe, life's reproduction rate will always exceed it, so only reduction is truly safe." Thanos said.
If this wish were effective, obtaining the Infinity Stones would allow him to easily do this— create countless barren planets, empty cosmic spaces— but Thanos knows life would soon fill these places.
"Hmph! Please excuse my disagreement— perhaps your level is too low, so you can't find a solution."
Luode extended his right hand, with yin and yang powers coiling in his palm, then placed it atop Thanos's head.
"Heaven-Shattering Earth-Burst, altered!"
An immensely powerful binding force instantly bound Thanos and suppressed his entire mental consciousness, causing this purple figure to instantly lose consciousness.
This is Luode's improved Heaven-Shattering Earth-Burst— unlike the original version, it creates a sealing space the size of a moon.
This technique can directly seal all energy within the target's body, as well as special power activities, and plunges the target's thoughts into slumber.
After subduing Thanos, Luode did not idle— he released several of his Hominiz weapons, then had them exert force together to suppress the Black Death Sword.
"Behold my master— the Demonic Power suppresses his mind." The Demonic Giant Sword World-Destroyer spoke.
"The Eternal Flame will scorch its soul." Herioth said.
Simultaneously, Ma Liang's body emitted golden light, forming a powerful sealing force.
A Hominiz-manufactured weapon helped Luode instantly suppress the Black Death Sword; Luode stepped forward and used the Chakra Sealing Technique to temporarily seal it.
Prevent this god-slaying weapon from escaping— since you've come to me, don't leave; stay and have a cup of tea! By the way, the Ancient Goddess Salartas misses a companion— you're just the one to keep her company.
"Hades, Herioth, World-Destroyer, Ma Liang! You three, in space, keep watch on him." Luode said.
"Rest assured, Master entrusted us— we have experience guarding prisoners."
Luode nodded, placed the Black Death Sword into his space, and also stored several Hominiz weapons inside.
After dealing with Thanos, Luode and Odin immediately rushed to the lower battlefield, swiftly eliminating the remaining forces Thanos had brought.
Seeing their leader subdued, Thanos's troops collapsed in morale, offering no resistance at all.
One hour later, Asgard's army achieved total victory.
"We won, we won!"
"Long live Asgard, Odin! Long live the God King!"
Countless Asgard soldiers began cheering.
"Truly, thank you, Luode— if you hadn't arrived in time, we Asgardians might have suffered heavy losses." Odin approached Luode, nodded, and spoke.
Indeed— if this kid hadn't come, although he's confident he could defeat Thanos, Asgard's ordinary troops and civilians would surely suffer heavy losses.
"Don't rush, God King Odin— first, bring all fallen soldiers' bodies to me; I'll revive them." Luode said.
This is likely the second time I've used resurrection ability— not the Outer Path Reincarnation Heavenly Birth Technique, but the Druid's Resurrection Skill! This spell now has a 72-hour cooldown; death beyond 72 hours cannot be reversed by me.
Even corpses— as long as most of the body remains— after mastering Reincarnation Heavenly Birth and possessing strong Chakra power, some of Luode's levels have also increased.
Asgard soldiers who had witnessed Luode's technique nodded, immediately informed their comrades, brought their fallen comrades to Luode, and had him perform resurrection.
Luode directly split into over a hundred shadow clones, then began administering Resurrection to the fallen Asgardians.
Several hours later, Luode had basically revived all Asgardian soldiers who died in this war.
"Thank you once again, Luode." Odin nodded to Luode, speaking sincerely.
"No need for thanks, God King."
"Father! It's my fault— if I had returned a few days earlier, I could have helped you fight." Thor said.
"You've also grown, Thor! Hahaha! Don't take it to heart— your return came just in time. Who is this young lady? Can you tell me?" Odin finished speaking, then turned to the Blue Dragon Maiden beside him and asked.
This woman with azure hair possesses immense vitality— even surpassing ordinary Asgardians— she is not of mortal kind.
It seems Luode still cares deeply. He's also worried about Thor's affairs— just unsure if he's dealt with Hela that little girl; sometimes the old father truly worries himself sick over his daughter. "Peace be upon you, God King Odin!" Taelies Sasa bowed to Odin and spoke.
This Odin looks almost exactly like the Great Protector Odin of Azeroth, except one is flesh and blood, the other is steel and flesh. But in terms of strength, this Lord Odin's strength is even greater!
"Hahaha! I haven't introduced you yet! This lady is called Taeli Gousa, Father, when I was playing in the world of Azeroth.
It was this lady as a guide who took me to many places, the Dragonblight Temple of Northrend, the Broken Isles, the eastern kingdoms of Kalimdor, and even a shattered planet world called Outland, filled with void energy." Thor began to vividly describe what he had seen and heard to Odin.
The wondrous scenery of the Azeroth world, the beautiful natural landscapes, and many strange tales.
"It seems you have seen quite a lot; another world must be very wonderful, right?
It seems you have confirmed that world would be very suitable for us, right?" Odin asked.
He now wants to leave this universe urgently, for this universe is too unfriendly to the Asgardians! He just wants to kill them, restart the cycle of reincarnation, and make the Asgardians disappear from this world, triggering Ragnarok.
"Hahaha! I am quite sure, Father, Azeroth is a miraculous world that can accommodate many races, even us Asgardians.
Those void forces are a group of invaders, but their invasion of that world is not deep, and several invading minions have already been sealed away.
Luode is also thinking of ways to eliminate them; we only need to contribute a little effort, and we can obtain a safe world to live in." Thor said.
For nearly half a year, he has been adventuring in the Azeroth world and has made many friends.
He has met many strange races: humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and even trolls.
There is also a wandering race, the Draenei, just like the Asgardians.
And the Azeroth world's invasion by the void is not particularly severe.
Several powerful ancient gods have all been sealed away, unable to move at all, though some of their minions and commanders are indeed very strong.
But the Azeroth world also has its own guardians.
"I trust your judgment, my son; I am preparing myself, and I will go with you, leading my people to a new world, a new universe to live in." Odin said.
Since his son has already confirmed the matter of another world, Odin does not intend to linger in this universe any longer.
To stay longer, who knows what strange things might happen, what kind of beings might come to trigger Ragnarok.
"This lady's appearance looks somewhat strange, very much like an elf; Thor, won't you introduce her to your mother?" Queen Freyja stepped forward, smiling slightly, and said.
This blue-haired girl looks far more beautiful than that Earth girl, at least appearing much younger than that Earth girl, and her vitality is also very strong.
It seems Thor will soon be able to forget that girl named Jian, after all, she is merely an Earthling.
Her lifespan is truly too short, which dooms her to be merely a passerby in Thor's life.
"Hahaha! I will introduce you, Mother; he is not an elf, his current form in another world is called a High Elf, a very miraculous race, whose lifespan may reach four or five thousand years.
There is also a race called Night Elves, very close to nature, whose lifespan even reaches over ten thousand years.
This Lady Taeli Gousa is a member of the Blue Dragonflight, and in that world belongs to one of the highest forms of life; her clan possesses endless life." Thor said.
The Night Elf clan, Odin and the Queen are aware of, because when Azeroth came over, they used the body of Tyrande, and Tyrande is a Night Elf.
But the Blue Dragonflight did not expect it to be a dragon person; Odin and Queen Freyja are very pleased with this Blue Dragon lady, even Odin himself nodded at Luode.
As if saying, this daughter-in-law I am very pleased with; her life level is sufficient, and if she unites with Thor, they will surely produce powerful offspring.
"Young man, I have high hopes for you; I am very pleased with what you have done this time! Well, don't let our guests stand outside, let's go! Return to the Celestial Palace, I want to hold a grand banquet." Odin laughed heartily, saying this while patting Luode on the shoulder.
At this moment, a voiceless, mysterious, and ethereal sound rang out.
"The outsider from another world, Luode, helped the God King Odin defeat the one wielding the Black Death Sword, Thanos.
Again saved Asgard, twice avoided Ragnarok, and even once again displayed his miraculous resurrection ability.
This outsider also changed the fate of Thor, Jian is no longer Thor's only true love.
He brought a strange species, a dragon race, truly a strange existence, completely unlike any dragon race I know.
The miraculous power on his person also makes me very curious; all this comes from another world.
Even the God King Odin will lead the entire Asgardian people away from this world; I do not know if this is right or wrong, because the destined Ragnarok would not appear then.
He has made tremendous changes to this universe, and also changed what happens on Earth; Thor has not been able to return to Earth as scheduled.
At this time, this outsider is not clear: if Thor does not return to Earth, then Ouroboros will obtain his own body, and the hero named Vision will not appear again.
The fire of another universe. After Ouroboros obtains his true body, he will possess unimaginable power.
The entire Avengers Alliance is no match for him; Thor, you must hurry back to Earth, your comrades need you."
Without Thor, the Avengers Alliance could not possibly defeat Ouroboros, nor could they allow the hero Vision to be born.
In a strange cosmic latitude, a being cloaked in a robe, possessing a super-large round head, is muttering to itself.
Just as he was about to leave with Odin, Luode furrowed his brow, turned his head, and gazed into the depths of space.
Strange! Did I just hear someone speaking?
"The outsider's gaze has fallen upon me; has he discovered my existence? This outsider possesses extremely strong spatial power.
Perhaps he can detect me; no matter how I investigate, I cannot see what is happening in his universe." The Watcher said.
"What's wrong? Luode, why aren't you leaving?" Odin, the God King, turned his head and asked strangely.
"God King Odin, have you heard a voice speaking?" Luode asked.
"Luode, you mean someone is speaking, but I heard no sound; did you discover something? Could someone be hiding in the dark?"
God King Odin furrowed his brow, and the spear of eternity in his hand once again emitted golden light.
Then he pointed toward the depths of space; Luode's strength is great, if the opponent truly discovered the enemy.
Then this enemy must be truly terrifying; God King Odin dares not be the slightest careless, holding the spear of eternity, face full of vigilance.
Even Thor beside him picked up his Mjölnir.
"He seems to have vaguely detected my presence, but I will not interfere with all things in the universe; I only observe."
"Who? Who is speaking in my ear, who is where?" Luode this time truly heard that voice. (End of Chapter)
