24. Ronan's death
The Infinity Stones are undoubtedly the treasures of the multiverse, each with the power to change fate.
Cyber has used the Cosmic Cube to rescue Gotham from the spatial rift, and he has also used the Stone of Reality to achieve the feat of God Butcher, and he has also seen with his own eyes how the Ancient One used the Stone of Time to reshape New York in an instant, and Professor Charles, who holds the Stone of Mind, can shelter the entire North America alone.
Even the chaotic and evil dead soul "beast" extended from the soul stone can quietly transform a weak chicken guy into a top evil person on the earth, the divine power of these stones is amazing, but each... Yes, each one needs to go through a ritual before it can be used.
Cyber calls it "recognition."
It's like the ancient one left the Time Stone in Kama Taj, and arranged for Strange to start contacting the Time Stone a long time ago, but after 4 years, Doctor Strange still can only use the power of the Time Stone to a limited extent, and even in the anger of breaking through the limit, he has not been able to get the full approval of the Time Stone, otherwise in the previous Paradise Island Battle, he could easily kill Mephisto alone.
The ancient one's supernatural use of the Time Stone allowed her to slaughter a god system by herself, which Doctor Strange Strange couldn't catch up with, this is the recognition of the Time Stone, which is very, very harsh.
And Professor Charles's use of the Mind Gem is also in the rough stage, if he can fully use the power of the Mind Gem, in the Battle of Paradise Island, they will not fight so tragically, he can easily control the mind of a god and demon, and turn them into warriors on his side.
Unfortunately, it can't be done...
Ronan got the Stone of Strength, but he didn't even dare to enter the ritual, he could only inlay it in the weapon, is Ronan really stupid? No, he's not stupid, on the contrary, he's smarter than many people, he found a way to use the Stone of Time without approval, but unfortunately, this trick made him suffer a miserable defeat.
At least on the road to power, there is no room for shortcuts.
Holding the Stone of Strength in his hand, his whole body is scorched with purple power fire, and every second he will experience the pain of his whole body being burned dry, but the next second, the flesh will be reborn on the bones, and he persists in extreme pain in this way, and makes the craziest confrontation with the untamed Stone of Power.
But there was no pain on his face, only a trace of calm, as calm as the deep waters of the water.
He looked at the flames that burned in the palm of his hand, and he saw a lot of them in them.
He saw the flounder that died in his arms, the girl whose name had been forgotten by many people, she died in the night of Gotham so humbly that she didn't even make the world mourn, but Cyber remembered her and never forgot it.
"Dorothy..."
He whispered the name, his fingers gripping the gem a little harder.
He also saw the ever-expanding Devil's Gang, the old brothers who left him one by one, Steve, Joseph, Cooper, and the warriors who fought to the death in the war in Mexico because of one of his orders, and finally left their lives there.
He is alone, why can so many people be willing to shed their blood for him?
Can he really afford such loyalty? Is he really worthy of it?
"My brothers..."
"Click"
A low sound erupted from between the fingers of flesh and bones.
And the next moment, he saw Catherine, the little girl who has been following him since the first meeting, from a small follower, to the softest piece of his heart, as well as Kevin and Robin, as well as the cold but passionate May, and Selena who doesn't know when she secretly fell in love, and Felicity, who claims to be a bachelor, but is willing to support him silently behind his back, and Erica, who always runs away, and the father who has died a long time ago but has always lived in his heart, Christian Titch.
These accepted him from the very beginning, turning him from a helpless prodigal son into a man who had everything, and these people were the only reason why he was really willing to protect that damned world.
"My relatives..."
"Click"
Between the friction of the fingers, the moment the blood dripped down, it was ignited by the more and more violent purple flames, but between the fingers, the sound of breaking became clearer and clearer.
Cyber didn't seem to feel the pain of flesh melting and reviving at all, and he continued to look at the flames.
In the end, he saw his most painful memory, the ancient one turned into a point of light in his arms, dissipated between heaven and earth, the last moments of a great soul, he witnessed her, he witnessed her departure, she never even lived for herself, that regret, that heaviness, that pain that seemed to be torn apart in her heart.
He saw his own helplessness, his own powerlessness, his weakness in that picture, and that was the original sin! That was the original sin of weakness!
Compared to the pain of losing everything that is most dear, all this in front of me... Is it a test?
"No! it's nothing!"
He raised his right hand, which was mixed with white bones, the golden armor melting repeatedly in the flames, and his five fingers clenched again, as if to pour all his strength into it.
"I will resurrect you... I will resurrect you..."
"The world without you... How can it be called perfect?!"
"Buzz"
The most instinctive heat flow power in the body was like a nuclear bomb erupting at this moment, rushing from Cyber's heart to every inch of the body, every inch of skin, every inch of flesh and blood, and the speed of body recovery was more than ten times faster in an instant, and for the first time, it suppressed the destruction of the body by the fire of power, and the dark blue god-killing flame was like the most fearless soldier, on Cyber's body, inch by inch, the rampant fire of power was forced back.
With an unparalleled attitude, it was pressed back into the broken purple hedron in Cyber's palm, and at this moment, on the surface of the Nova Fortress, the engulfing purple flame suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the figure standing in the lava crater fell.
"I won..."
There was no joy in Cyber's eyes, no fluctuations, calm as usual.
"I knew I was going to win, I knew I had to win... You're mine!"
"Click"
The unruly Stone of Power still wanted to fight back, it was beating in Cyber's hand, the purple scorching flames were still trying to scorch his flesh, but the next moment, the golden hand armor completely crushed its shell, and the collision of the two wills completely divided the victory and defeat at this moment.
"Buzz"
Cyber spread his fingers, purple flames ignited in the palm of his hand, and the Stone of Finally Yielding Power spun in a circle in his hand, and then returned into a purple oval gem that was set on the back of Cyber's golden hand armor.
At this moment, the inferior imitation of the Infinity Gauntlet made by the original Asgardian monarch Pol himself seemed to come to life at this moment, as if a soulless body was re-injected with a soul, Cyber put his right hand in front of his eyes and looked at it, he clenched his fists, raised his head, and looked at the Kree warship rising above his head, the kilometer-long body was like the craziest and most terrifying beast under this sky.
His legs curled up, and the next moment, his body rushed into the sky like a purple cannonball, his right fist clenched, and he charged in the air for a moment, smashing out like a battering ram, smashing the surface of the kilometer-long battleship.
"Boom"
The purple power opened a halo on the surface of his fist, and at the moment of hitting the starship, the fist did not directly smash out a large impact-type crater as before, but on the surface of contact, a faint crack shattered, and then spread outward at a crazy speed, in just 2 seconds, the starship burst open a shocking crack from the very center, and this crack wound at an unparalleled speed, winding around every inch of the entire starship, striking.
"Click, click"
At the moment when Cyber fell to the ground, high in the air behind him, the kilometer-long dark monster was like a broken porcelain, cracking thousands of scars on the surface, and then silently shattering, and the metal fragments falling from the sky were like a storm of destruction, at this moment, completely occupying the sky of the entire Nova Fortress.
"Hmm... This feels good. ”
Cyber moved his shoulders, and behind him, except for the fragments that had been shattered by the shells of the Nova Legion, everything in his path was completely destroyed, destroyed... It has arrived.
And on the other side, in the direction of Cyber's advance, another deathmatch is nearing its end.
The completely demonic Drax brandished the war scepter wrapped in dark green flames with one hand, roaring wildly, bombarding wildly without any moves, and with every hammer that smashed down, a clear crack would be smashed into the ground, and in front of this berserk beast, Ronan, who was still in control of victory just now, could only retreat in embarrassment.
It's not that he doesn't have the strength to fight against the demonic destroyer, but this guy doesn't plan to continue to entangle with him.
Cyber smashed a main battle starship with one punch, that scene beyond his imagination, he saw it in his eyes, that punch shattered all his illusions, all the conquests, all the destruction, everything was completely covered by that punch, he didn't want anything now, he just wanted to escape from this crazy place, like a frightened hamster, he only wanted to go back to the Kree Empire, back to the capital star, back to his warm home.
It's like a beast that has been completely crushed from body to mind, and only wants to go back to its lair and lick its wounds.
Yes, he was afraid!
The conqueror of the Cree Empire was already scared to the extreme, he thought that there was no will in this star field that could resist the Stone of Power, but this could not happen at all, and the scene that broke all his reason and logic happened right in front of his eyes.
At this moment, our conqueror Ronan understood a truth: some roots were born to trample the earth, and more roots could only lie on the ground and look up at the sky.
He thought he was the former, but now he knew that he was just the inconspicuous of the latter.
"Get out of here!"
Ronan frantically swung the hammer in his hand to block Drax's attack, his steps were chaotic, his will was gone, he turned around and wanted to run away, but behind him, the Destroyer had already raised the scepter of war with a wild laugh, he left his back to his opponent, he made a fatal mistake, a warrior who had no desire to fight, was so vulnerable.
"Bang"
Ronan's body slammed into the earth, blood spurting from the corners of his mouth, and in front of him, a pair of black boots were so glaring, he struggled to raise his head and saw Cyber's indifferent eyes.
"Rao... Spare me!"
He bowed his head and begged for mercy in humiliation.
Cyber took a step back, scythe at his feet:
"Cross this line, and I'll strangle you with my own hands, and now... Go back and finish your battle if you win... You still have a chance to live!"
"Whew... Whew"
Ronan gulped for a breath, he got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gripped the hammer tightly... Now, it's time to fight for survival.
But just as the War Warrant collided with his war hammer again, the crystallization of the most powerful technology of the Cree Empire shattered under the great force of the Destroyer, and shards of metal were scattered everywhere, which made Ronan's eyes widen, but he soon understood why this was happening.
His act of inlaying the Stone of Strength had destabilized the Warhammer, which had already been overwhelmed by the power that transcended the limits of living beings in the battle with Drax.
This final blow made Ronan completely lose hope of fighting, and he looked up sluggishly to see the scepter of war that had suddenly swung down, the dark green flames with the glow of death, but just as the warhammer smashed on top of his head, Drax slammed it back, grazing the warhammer over Ronan's body and smashing it to the ground.
"Boom"
A large impact-shaped crater appeared at Ronan's feet, and the Conqueror looked up at Drax the Destroyer, an indescribable expression of humiliation on his face, and he shouted:
"Why? Why don't you kill me! Are you going to continue to humiliate me?
"Click"
The demonized drax gasped for scorching breath, withdrew the scepter, and put it back behind his back, he looked down at the angry Ronan, and he shook his head:
"My weapon can only be used to challenge the strong... You, you're not!"
The next moment, he waved his claws, and five hideous firelight paw prints scratched through the air, and before his eyes, the headless body fell to his knees weakly, and in the blood overflowing, he died humbly like dust.
"Bang"
Drax half-knelt in front of Cyber, and after touching the demonization, he held Ronan's head in both hands, and there was still the last of fear and despair in his wide gaze.
"Glory to you for all this, Overlord!"
"From now on, I will be your sword..."
Tears flowed from the eyes of the destroyer, and today, he washed away all the shame he had carried, and a new life trajectory had opened, and it was time to forget the past and plunge into a new life.
Cyber didn't reach for the head, he stepped forward, crossed Drax's body, and put his hand on his shoulder:
"That's your glory... This is the best funeral gift for your relatives, the taste of revenge is always so beautiful, you don't need to forget the past, you don't need to close yourself, keep this painful memory, it will make you run all the way, it will make you stronger..."
Cyber raised his head, and in front of him, 5 nova warships surrounded him from five directions, and a loud voice sounded under the sky:
"Overlord Cyber Hawke, Butcher, Slayer, Destroyer, all the sins you have done in Xandhar, Nova Legion... Never forget!"
