Luke reacted quickly. His right arm immediately twisted and pulled outward like a giant python, not giving Thanos a chance to completely lock him down.
In this kind of close combat, the danger of being locked is too great.
Although he has a lot of life-saving abilities, he doesn't want to give Thanos a chance.
He has a trump card, but Thanos may not have none too.
But Thanos, who had made up his mind, acted faster.
There was a ferocious light in those squinting eyes. He thought about it, the snap on the Infinity Glove loosened, and he hooked his left fingers, and the Power Stone fell into the palm of his left hand.
Unlimited gem energy rushed into his body. Thanos groaned, but clenched his left hand tightly and punched Luke on the back.
Purple flames enveloped Thanos and Luke at the same time, and violent energy waves exploded from their entangled bodies and flew to both sides.
Luke understood everything instantly and cursed inwardly that the little bully was indeed cunning, but his body continued to fly backwards uncontrollably.
The Iron Fist half-armor shattered under the unlimited energy input of the Power Gem and could no longer provide protection.
The purple flames continued to enter his body, destroying it madly.
If the purple beam of light emitted by the Infinity Gauntlet was spicy noodles, giving Luke the feeling of eating "gourmet food", then he who was wrapped in the flames at this moment was more like marinated beef falling into a hot pot - his whole body was almost cooked into a spicy taste.
However, the crazy stacking of physical superpowers once again worked wonders.
The sticky ability offsets most of the pain, the evolutionary ability quickly sends the violent energy pouring in out of the body, and the healing ability constantly repairs the severely injured body.
The only thing that cannot be restored to its original state is the Iron Fist Half Armor.
Consistent with Thanos' speculation, after suffering an extremely violent blow, all the energy in Luke's body was used for control and repair, and could not be temporarily mobilized to form a defense.
Luke suffered such a severe blow, but Thanos was not much better off.
His body, which was also affected by the power gem's rampage, went out of control for a short period of time.
But he immediately used the Infinity Gauntlet to control and remove some of the energy that poured into his body, giving his body a chance to breathe. He took the opportunity to place the power gem in the palm of his left hand onto the groove in his right glove.
The matching artifact naturally draws the power gem back into the socket, and the energy rampage ends.
Thanos just raised his head slightly and looked at Luke who was flying backwards in the opposite direction of him. With a thought, he activated the Reality Stone in his right hand.
A mound of earth rose up and he crashed into it.
Amid the splash of mud and weeds, Thanos' figure disappeared into the earth.
Luke, who was gradually recovering, seemed to realize something: "Keep an eye on him."
Of course, he said this to Selina. He believed that she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luke activated his telekinesis, forcing his body to fall down, and then his feet touched the ground.
There was a loud bang on the ground, and a big hole appeared. His figure quickly moved to the front right - this was the position of Thanos that Selina had just given.
On the virtual light screen, the big red dot representing Thanos is moving away quickly.
Two seconds later, there was a loud bang and the ground shook and cracked.
Thanos' burly body was blown out from the ground, along with Selina who came out of invisibility in the purple flames.
Director Mie had just used the Reality Gem to sneak underground when he was caught up by Selina who was waiting for him.
With his body injured and in a low state, he had no choice but to activate the power of the gem, and the natural result was that both of them were blown out from under the ground.
Selina, who gained the ability to evolve, stubbornly resisted the purple flames and even couldn't help but saliva from her mouth.
As a person with the original ability, a food machine without emotions, she feels the energy of this "spicy taste" more deeply.
Of course, the power of the food only made her hold on Thanos' arms harder, trying to prevent him from using the Power Stone again.
But her power is not as strong as Thanos after all.
Purple veins bulged on Director Mie's forehead, and his left hand slowly approached the power gem on the glove.
As Luke approached rapidly, he suddenly felt a strong premonition of death, which made his heart beat slightly faster.
Thanos had a ferocious look on his face, but his attention was on Luke who was approaching.
At this point, Director Mie already felt that he had no way to escape this time.
Selina's delay at the critical moment cut off his last and best chance of survival.
Luke's cheating recovery ability will soon return to its peak, and Thanos' physical injuries are unlikely to improve within a few days.
He is already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and not only does he have to face Selina, a special interceptor, but also the Earth superheroes who will soon arrive from nearby, and even the Earth coalition forces.
The timing is off, the terrain is no longer favorable, and the people are on the opposite side with Luke. Thanos can no longer find a chance to win.
But... he is Thanos, the overlord who kills the universe and runs rampant.
If he is doomed to fail, he will die happily - it would be even more perfect if he could take the enemy who forced him into a desperate situation with him.
No one can kill him, only himself can kill him.
The unlimited attack of the Power Stone just now made Thanos certain that Luke would not be able to withstand this violent energy either.
This time, he would not let Luke and the Power Stone go. He wanted to watch with his own eyes that Luke and he would be reduced to ashes under the Power Stone.
If Thanos could watch Luke die first, he would further activate the Power Stone.
Luke is the enemy, and so is Earth.
Since we are defeated here, let the Earth be buried with us! Thanos thought so, and the impatience, anger, humiliation, and unwillingness in his heart faded away, leaving only the indifferent and icy death.
From the moment he chose to save the universe, Thanos was actually mentally prepared to die at the hands of his enemy.
Death on Earth is unexpected, but also reasonable.
Just like he said, this is not a personal grudge, it's just that everyone has different goals.
Thanos didn't know that he was facing an enemy who had the ability to foresee death and was a psychic superpower.
Such obvious emotional changes, such drastic foreknowledge of death, and the left hand that was about to fall on the Power Stone, all exposed Thanos' intentions.
It's not that Thanos was not careful, but in such a fierce battle, he couldn't believe that Luke could instantly perceive the enemy's thoughts.
After all, it took less than five seconds from the time the two were blown apart to the time Luke pounced on them.
So, under Thanos's cold and dead eyes, Luke suddenly slowed down his body, showed a professional smile that showed he was determined to win and give the final blow, and swung his fists to hit Thanos' head.
At the same time, he used mental fluctuations to directly convey an idea to Selina: "Grab the gem."
Selina extended the arm entangled in Thanos' right hand almost reflexively, and at the same time, the nano armor on her palm was covered with the Infinity Gauntlet and the four gems on the back of her hand.
Thanos, whose attention was attracted by Luke's exaggerated performance, subconsciously relaxed his attention on Selina, because she had always acted like a supporting player.
