Chapter 1152: Fighting 4
Given Star-Lord's physical condition, he couldn't survive in the vacuum of space without protection. If his energy shield were to break, he would not only have to contend with the vacuum of space but also face the devouring Dormammu's black mist.
However, just as the black mist was about to pierce through the energy shield, Star-Lord swiftly tapped his waist with his right hand.
Buzz!
Following that, another transparent energy shield quickly enveloped Star-Lord, perfectly blocking the advancing black mist. Since he had chosen to charge in and give it his all, Star-Lord wasn't relying on just one energy shield.
However, even though Star-Lord had several energy shields on him, they would all be consumed soon because he couldn't eliminate the continuously approaching black mist.
His weapons, at best, could disperse the nearby black mist, and the energy of these weapons was running low. Perhaps, Star-Lord would be the first to be devoured by Dormammu in the black mist.
"Am I really going to die here... Gamora, I hope you survive..."
...
Apart from Star-Lord, another member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax the Destroyer, was in a somewhat better situation. Despite his outward appearance of recklessness, Drax was actually very powerful.
Not only was he incredibly strong, but his physical resilience was also high. Even after his energy shield was broken by the devouring black mist, he could still swing the short blades in his hands vigorously.
The thrusters on his back provided Drax with the energy to fly, allowing him to maneuver nimbly within the black mist. The dark-red, tattoo-like stripes on Drax's body were now all illuminated, and the short blades in his hands emitted a dazzling fiery red light.
Facing the devouring black mist, Drax, who had unleashed his full power, didn't care at all. Drax, with his entire body radiating red light, resembled a super-powered warrior. Every slash of his short blades on the black mist eliminated traces of mist energy.
Huff, Huff, Huff!
"Ahahaha! Bring it on, fight!" Drax continued to wildly shout as he swung his blades.
However, under the continuous influx of black mist, the radiance on Drax's body gradually dimmed.
...
From the moment Lin Rui and the others charged into the black mist to Gamora being ejected and J.A.R.V.I.S. detecting the Level 5 energy eruptions within the black mist, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, the black mist situated less than a hundred meters away from the Milano and the E Grade Spaceship had been slowly retracting amidst continuous rolling and writhing!
Under J.A.R.V.I.S.'s multi-angle surveillance, Tony and the others could see various colored lights flickering within the mist. Among them, the deepest and largest ice-blue glow was the clearest, rapidly spreading to encompass a much larger area.
Near this ice-blue glow, faint green and golden lights continuously flickered as they charged toward Dormammu's core.
Clearly, these ice-blue, green, and golden lights represented Iceman, Hulk, and Jack, who was following Hulk. Apart from them, there was also a region in the rear slowly moving, emitting a purple thunderous glow, and a luminous green cluster. These represented the positions of Thor and Lin Rui.
At the very back, which was also the edge, Star-Lord was almost shrouded by layer upon layer of black mist, making it impossible to see any energy emanating from him. As for Drax the Destroyer's position, the red radiance was visible, but his movement was extremely sluggish.
Ding, Ding, Ding!
Just as everyone in the control cabin was focused on observing the data on the screen and the changes in the black mist outside, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded.
Then, before J.A.R.V.I.S. could even issue a warning, a streak of lightning had already flown past the E Grade Spaceship and the Milano, instantly plunging into the front of the black mist!
"What's that...?" Tony's eyes lit up as he closely watched the trail left by that streak of lightning.
"That should be Thor's hammer... but wasn't it on Earth all this time?" Rogers' voice came from the side after Tony's whisper.
Whoosh!
Just as Tony and Rogers were talking in hushed voices, the screen in front of them rapidly zoomed in and separated into an independent display, playing back the lightning bolt at a much slower speed. This time, everyone in the control cabin could clearly see what was inside that streak of lightning. Indeed, it was a hammer, Thor's hammer.
"So, that hammer is a Divine Weapon!" Peter exclaimed in astonishment as he stared at the screen displaying the hammer surrounded by arcs of electricity.
Previously, Peter had tried to lift the hammer in Thor's apartment but couldn't budge it a bit, despite his formidable Spider-Man strength. Now, it had flown from Earth, seemingly on its own, from a distance they didn't even know about. It appeared in such a spectacular manner, leaving Peter utterly surprised and awestruck.
Boom!
The moment the streak of lightning plunged into the black mist, a colossal thunderclap pierced through the mist, illuminating the dark cosmic sky. Then, the thunder disappeared.
However, the area that was previously moving slowly within the black mist, illuminated by a purplish-blue glow, seemed to explode in an instant. The radiance instantly expanded tenfold, nearly revealing the continuous streaks of thunder within the black mist.
Afterward, the thunderous area, now expanded, surged forward at a high speed toward Dormammu's core. The surrounding black mist was dispersed by the thunder, and the area inside became much thinner.
With Mjölnir summoned successfully from Earth, Thor's power had multiplied several times over. His pace of dispelling the black mist had caught up to Iceman, and he was charging ahead even faster.
"Is he really human?..." Seeing Thor suddenly unleash such power, the Earth-based team was incredibly shocked.
"Uh... he is an alien from Asgard, I guess that still counts as human..."
"But the one who should be the most surprised is probably Iceman!"
"And Phantom Knight!"
Inside the E Grade Spaceship, as everyone watched the black mist gradually retract under the eruption from Lin Rui and the others, Iceman's power became more and more powerful, causing great astonishment and joy.
Meanwhile, in the rear of the black mist, within Dormammu's main body, the central face gazed at them with emotionless eyes.
"These interesting individuals... Their strength hasn't reached a point where they can threaten me yet, but this will still consume some of my energy..." Sensing that his black mist energy was rapidly diminishing, Dormammu calmly pondered, his enormous eyes emitting a deep yellow light.
Hu...
