A magnificent rainbow of energy connected Odin to the spear he had thrown. Gungnir pierced the chest of the giant yellow monster, and the monster's heavy body fell heavily to the ground. The vibration under his feet was like the trampling of thousands of troops.
"That's it?" Thor, his battle-hungry horde brimming with desire, clutched his beloved hammer as he gazed at the massive monster struck directly in the vitals, awestruck. He hadn't imagined that the foe, so formidable as he'd portrayed it before the battle, would be annihilated by the initial coordination of his Father and the Sorcerer Supreme. It felt like facing a formidable foe, only to have their forces completely routed before they could even truly charge.
"It's just a greeting." Master Ancient One controlled the mirror space around them. After a series of complex transformations, a huge suspended platform was constructed. Around this huge platform, there were many similar suspended platforms for landing and transfer.
Luke thought for a moment that this was a bit like a group fight against a boss in a game, with mages and other ranged units staying back, while tanks and warriors were up front. But looking at the elderly figure at the forefront, Luke felt that they were abusing the elderly.
Boom!
Knock knock!
A strong heartbeat echoed again, and the chest shattered by Gungnir began to heal rapidly. A highly corrosive and infectious frenzy once again filled the entire mirror space, making people feel as if they were facing a knife, and alarm bells rang in their hearts. And this time, the sense of crisis was even stronger than before!
roar!
The giant monster, Mangogo, stood up again. His body, swollen with anger and energy, had grown a third larger than before, appearing even more oppressive and threatening than before. Standing before him, the towering Odin was like a dwarf before a giant.
The huge fist hit Odin hard, but was blocked by Odin holding Gungnir's gun with both hands. However, the huge force still made Odin slide a distance on the ground.
"Father!" Thor saw his father being hit continuously by the monster, and he could no longer restrain himself and swung his Thor's hammer. With lightning and thunder all over the sky, he smashed it heavily on Mangogo's hideous giant face.
The combined force of thunder and Mjolnir's power dented the muscles on Mangogo's face—or at least, they could be considered muscles—but in return, a punch struck him so fast that Thor couldn't react. The point where the fist made contact with Thor's body was so explosive that a transparent explosion of air appeared.
Boom!
As cool as Thor had been when he struck, he looked just as miserable now as he was when he was knocked back. He flew three times on the ground like a stone skipping on water, and just as he was about to fall off the platform, he grabbed the ground, leaving a deep mark before finally stopping.
cough!
Thor felt as if all his muscles were shattered and his bones were cracked. Although his divine power and his powerful body were healing rapidly, blood still clung to the corners of his lips.
Luke opened his arms, and velvet-like tentacles rose from his clothes, then rolled out pieces of space chips, and a metal cloud as surging as a wave appeared behind Luke.
Under Luke's control and the control of his intelligent system, the complex parts transformed in mid-air, performing an assembly show for the audience. Soon, weapons with a strong mechanical beauty appeared around Luke.
With a deft snap of Luke's fingers, the brightness within the mirrored space suddenly increased several-fold, transforming into an intense, blinding light pollution. Dazzling, dangerous rays of light erupted from the ferocious cannon muzzles behind Luke, continuously bombarding Mangogo in front. The surging energy explosion created waves that whipped up a powerful gust of wind above the platform.
The bombing continued for nearly ten minutes, and the frequency only decreased when the muzzles of the guns turned red.
The blinding light faded, and everyone looked towards the area that had been bombarded. Mangogo's tall figure emerged, seemingly having sustained no serious damage from the energy-saturated bombardment.
"Put away those little toys of yours, little guy. It can already be called a high-dimensional creature. If you want to hurt it, you must use energy of equal mass, or a huge amount of inferior energy. Not to mention your weapons, even if you Midgard people use all your so-called most lethal weapons, you can't do anything to it." Odin clenched the spear in his hand and said in a deep voice to Luke behind him.
"Equal mass of energy?" Luke mused.
"It seems that Ancient One has not told you something deeper. The new energy that you created and condensed is energy of high-dimensional quality." Odin glanced at Ancient One, then fixed his gaze on Manggogo, whose body had expanded again. After speaking hurriedly, he rushed forward again and blocked Manggogo as a warrior.
"We can talk about that later." Master Ancient One glanced at Luke, opened her hands, and the Ring of Raggador appeared in her hands.
"Why do they all like close combat so much? Is it because of the characteristics of energy?" Luke looked at the two wizards, Ancient One and Karnila, who rushed forward to help Odin bear the pressure, and turned his head to look at Thor, who stood up again with an eager look on his face.
"Of course fighting has to be done in close combat." Thor answered decisively, as if he had never doubted this question in his mind.
"Okay, I understand the Asgardian fighting style," Luke shrugged. Perhaps it was because the power they used was better utilized in close combat?
The style has been lowered.
Luke sighed.
However, when he came, he was mentally prepared for a heavy bleeding.
Luke stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist. An ordinary ring on his right hand shone with a black and gold luster like lava.
The Almighty Ring: Odin of Greed!
Suddenly, the entire mirror space seemed to be gripped by a wind, which grew stronger and stronger, so strong that even those who were too distracted by the fierce battle to notice the abnormality! Threads of energy converged into a fierce wind, rushing madly towards a certain area. Even the furious Mangogo paused their attacks and turned their heads to look towards the source of the energy.
"Luke?" Thor was stunned when he saw Luke absorbing all the energy around him like the eye of a storm.
"He is absorbing everyone's power." Master Ancient One felt the power in her body dissipating madly. Even if she borrowed more power, a large part of it would be absorbed by Luke if she did not control it. She was not surprised by this, but her eyes were particularly bright.
"It's that ring! It's absorbing our power." The God King Odin sensed it carefully and found that most of the power in his body flowed into the black and gold ring worn on Luke's right hand.
The one who was more irritable and less able to calm down than anyone else on the field was Mangogo, who had noticed a significant drain on his power! While his power could be described as boundless, this boundlessness was measured in time. Draining a large amount of energy in a short period of time wouldn't inevitably lead to a drop in his strength. So, after feeling the rapid drain of his power, he fixed his gaze on the small insect hiding in the distance, absorbing his power.
"~"
Mangogo roared a meaningless roar that no one could understand, and stomped his strong lower limbs on the ground. After taking the attacks of Odin, Ancient One and others, he broke through the blockade and pounced on Luke with his huge figure.
A fist as tall as Luke smashed down at Luke from top to bottom with great speed. Because of the extreme speed, the wind from the fist whistled and the air flow wrapped around the thick arm.
"Be careful!" Thor shouted subconsciously, swung the hammer in his hand, and flew out, trying to help Luke block the attack or dodge it.
The fist did not land on Luke.
Or rather, it just almost fell on Luke.
Master Ancient One controlled the mirror space to put distance between Luke and Mangorg, but Mangorg had obviously suffered losses from the mirror space many times before, so in the next moment, it took another step forward at an extremely fast speed, closing the distance with Luke while punching Thor who was rushing over and knocking him away, and opened one hand to grab Luke who was close at hand.
A honeycomb-like shield of light emerged from the air, blocking Mangogo's grasping hand. Under the sheer force and immense energy, tiny cracks appeared on the shield. The next moment, the cracks widened, shattering into a shower of light. The hold lasted only a moment before Mangogo's arm thrust forward again.
The sure-shot grab failed.
Luke was clearly within arm's reach, but its hand seemed to remain perpetually just a finger's length away. Furthermore, due to the close proximity, the power within it was like a floodgate unleashed, its flow increasing exponentially. Even the perpetual motion machine felt a slight sense of weakness.
Space barrier.
Behind Luke, a hollow lotus-shaped machine was slowly turning. It was this instrument that disturbed the space around Luke.
Layer upon layer of wounds suddenly appeared on the arm that Mangogo grabbed. The wounds were so deep that the bones were visible. When he retracted his arm, three severed fingers fell to the ground.
Mangogo stepped back, but Luke took a step forward and hit Mangogo's calf hard with his clenched right fist.
The burst of energy ripped a deep hole through Mangogo's sturdy calf. He felt a sudden, utter loss of strength, as if being devoured by some invisible entity through the wound. Although this emptiness was quickly restored by the constant surge of power, the instantaneous feeling of weakness, almost drained out, still made Mangogo furious.
"insect!"
A surge of mental energy raged around him, and Mangogo's rage intensified, his strength increasing once again. He clasped his hands together and struck Luke's head with a hammer-like blow.
Buzz!
The rotating mechanical lotus behind Luke trembled under Manggo's attack. Under Luke's powerful and cost-effective energy input, Manggo's strength increased again, but his fist was finally blocked.
Mangogo's anger rose again, and it wanted to attack Luke, but at this time Odin, Ancient One and others had arrived and stopped it again.
"Can you please stop draining my power?" Karnila complained to Luke while struggling to hold back the enraged Mangogo with her magic. Although she controlled more magical energy than Odin in Asgard, Luke's indiscriminate drain was too much! Her control over energy wasn't as strong as that of the Ancient One or Odin, and this significantly impacted her ability to exert her full power.
As for Thor? Because too much energy was extracted from him, he was sent flying by Mangogo's punch. He was still groaning on the ground and hadn't recovered yet.
"call."
Luke forcibly controlled the Ring of Might and cut off Greed's absorption, even though he had sensed the deep dissatisfaction of Greed's ignorant consciousness from the ring.
The Ring of All Power is a ring of authority that allows Luke to access all mental patterns. Its power is powerful, but so are its hidden dangers. The wearer is inevitably susceptible to the influence of the ring's corresponding emotions. Failure to maintain composure under the influence of the ring's corresponding emotions will lead to their control.
As Letari and his team built more and more emotion-collecting devices for Luke, all kinds of chaotic and ignorant consciousness began to sprout inside him, and even tended to manifest further.
In the long run, the increased energy and power are certainly a good thing. But in the short term, it still has some impact on Luke. For example, the emotional energy has become more contagious, even to the point of being able to corrupt his personality.
Although the more [corrupted] they become, the more powerful they become, Luke doesn't want any risk of his creation completely losing control.
Golden energy transformed Luke into a golden figure. The warm and powerful energy transformed into threads that connected Odin, the Ancient One, Karnila, and Thor, who was still on the ground, groaning and clutching his waist as he tried to stand up.
Powerful energy was transmitted from Luke's ring to everyone, soothing them. Their spirits were lifted and lifted, and even more energy seemed to surge within them. Rising from the ground, Thor, with Mjolnir in hand, felt himself nearly invincible and omnipotent. He dared to face any powerful enemy!
You have been strengthened, go and send it!
If Thor knew these words, he would have felt deeply empathetic. However, he didn't, so he felt he was ready. He charged at Mangorg once more, and the enchanted Mjolnir, stained with golden energy, struck Mangorg's face hard. This time, the blow wasn't a painless one, but rather sent Mangorg's massive body stumbling backward, allowing Ancient One, Odin, and the others to exploit the opportunity to inflict additional damage.
At the same time, complex and smooth mechanical assembly began behind Luke.
