Chapter 467 The Innocent Director Mie was Beaten
Meanwhile, Li Muyang and Thanos were locked in a fierce battle within the "Close to Each Other" barrier set up by Di Jun. The two were evenly matched, and the reason for this was that Li Muyang was deliberately not going all out in order to release the excess energy in his body, thus prolonging the battle, while Thanos was simply no match for him.
Well, it's because the power that Thanos could unleash with a single Infinity Stone was very effective against Li Muyang, who possessed a body of laws, while Thanos's own abilities were quite limited in their lethality against Li Muyang.
In a single situation, the Infinity Stones can only bully those weaker than oneself. When encountering those stronger than oneself, or even those of the same level, their effectiveness is very limited.
Director Mie is now filled with regret. He shouldn't have revealed a flaw earlier and ended the struggle for the gem rights with Li Muyang! He originally thought that by ending the entanglement of the struggle, he could gain the upper hand with the gems and go a step further to take them back!
Who told Li Muyang to rely solely on compatibility and control of the laws, essentially fighting Thanos for the Infinity Stones with his bare hands? Thanos, after all, still had the Infinity Gauntlet, that divine artifact!
The result was... he seriously underestimated Li Muyang's ability to utilize the power of laws and the Infinity Stones!
The gems that Li Muyang stole were the Time Gem and the Reality Gem, both of which were types that even the Director Mie's authority couldn't possibly snatch. Even in his unconscious state, Li Muyang's instincts allowed him to achieve an absurdly high compatibility with these two gems!
It's as if Li Muyang could just beckon these two gems to him with a flick of his finger!
She's just like the goddess you frantically lick, yet she throws herself into the arms of another man.
Thanos originally had the Space Stone, but he was still wary and refused to hand it over.
Thanos even felt that the Power Stone, which was most compatible with him, had a tendency to seek new love and forget old love.
As it turns out, he was right. Only time and reality show that Thanos could no longer defeat Li Muyang! Or rather, he was never going to be able to defeat Li Muyang from the very beginning!
Right now, Li Muyang is only using the power of the laws to compete with Thanos for the access to the Infinity Stones. His fighting and entanglement are just to speed up the consumption of energy and familiarize himself with this body. He has no intention of a quick victory or killing Thanos. Otherwise, he would have already used lethal means.
Even if this body doesn't possess any magical treasures, it was equipped with the Pangu Set before! If he really wanted to end the battle, he could just pull out the Pangu Axe and strike it once!
With Destiny Emperor Jun around, Li Muyang wasn't worried about accidentally harming Blue Star.
He had no idea that Houtu Niangniang and Chiyou were secretly watching the show.
From the moment Director Mie gave up the two gems, the outcome of this entangled battle was already decided!
The more the Master of Destruction fought, the more alarmed and anxious he became! He had already sensed the presence of Emperor Jun over there! Even from his perspective, he couldn't see anyone where Emperor Jun was! But he wasn't blind! He could see Thor talking to someone! And there was the inexplicable time reversal during the earlier fight!
He thought that with the Ancient One and Odin dead, there was no one on Earth who could stop him. But then he encountered a chaotic sorceress (Wanda) who was extremely fierce when she lost her temper, and then he met Odin's son (Thor), who was awakened. Both of them were beings who could pose a threat to his life.
Now, a cosmic deity has appeared out of nowhere! Although I don't know which world law it controls, it seems unlikely that I can defeat it! Not only is it thick-skinned and tough, but its mastery of the laws is far superior to mine!
Ultimately, it only borrowed from Marvel's setting; Director Metsubou wasn't as invincible as the original character was portrayed.
In fact, if someone is just an ordinary cultivator, they may not necessarily be stronger than Master Mie. Their understanding and control of the laws may be about the same.
However, Li Muyang is not only a cultivator, but also a monstrous genius. He is naturally sensitive to laws and rules, and the body he controls now is the innate sacred body of the Witch Clan, formed from the laws! This is like adding wings to a tiger!
This isn't deliberate suppression or disrespect; it's because Li Muyang is inherently talented, diligently cultivates, improves his understanding of laws and rules, has a clear path of cultivation, and possesses a physical body highly compatible with the power of laws—he lacks nothing! A complete and utter crushing defeat!
It's naturally much better than Thanos figuring things out on his own.
The Titans are also related to the Celestials, being members of the Eternals. Thanos's unique talent couldn't be lacking either. Most importantly, although Thanos appears to be a rough and tough guy, he is actually cursed by knowledge! He is a highly intelligent individual! He possesses a vast amount of world secrets and knowledge in his mind.
Unfortunately, he encountered Li Muyang, who was stronger than him and had even greater talent and the body of the Witch Clan's laws.
As mentioned earlier, Chi You's body was given to Fuxi by the Daoist of Destiny to be integrated into this world. Most of its essence has already merged with the world and become part of the world's power. However, this does not mean that Li Muyang, who controls Chi You's body, is completely unable to mobilize these essence powers. At the very least, he has a high priority, authority, and compatibility with them.
In essence, the Infinity Stones are a form of authority, or rather, a manifestation of the corresponding laws. They are a kind of user-friendly tool, at least for beings like Li Muyang and Thanos who understand the ultimate principles of the world.
This is why Li Muyang doesn't care much about the Avengers' storyline. Even without this physical body, he is confident that he can fight to the death and defeat Thanos with the six Infinity Stones!
Moreover, not caring much doesn't mean Li Muyang doesn't care! According to his original calculations, he thought that after the Karen Kaya incident was over, the plot of Avengers 3 would be about to begin, and if necessary, he would adjust the flow of time.
Anyway, there's no way we'll be snapping our fingers at Director Mie!
Who would have thought that he would spend more than half a year in Kalenkaya.
Well, during the time spent in Kalenkaya, about half a year had actually passed on Earth.
This is already the result of the Earth Goddess Houtu adjusting the flow of time between the core space of Kalenkaya and the outside world! Otherwise, how could it be reasonable for Li Muyang to refine the body of the Chiyou Wu Clan in less than several decades or hundreds of years? In fact, hundreds of years have passed unknowingly for Li Muyang in the core of the earth!
This time, however, he was in a state of slumber, so Li Muyang's subjective consciousness was not greatly affected. Houtu Niangniang and the others didn't care about this little bit of time either. When they went into seclusion, it was always for several epochs. What was a few hundred years?
It's just a pity for Director Mie. He finally collected all six Infinity Stones, wanting to complete his family planning plan, but Li Muyang suddenly appeared and interfered, not only stealing the stones but also getting beaten up. He can't leave and can't fight back.
By now, Director Mie had figured it out! Li Muyang was simply overeating! He was using his excess energy to expend his own energy! He was initially furious! He, the mighty overlord of the universe! Thanos! was being used as a punching bag!
After being beaten for so long, Director Mie's mindset had completely changed! What kind of monster is this? He, wielding the Power Gem which is practically an inexhaustible source of energy, is almost outlasting this cosmic deity that has suddenly appeared! This is not scientific!
No, to be precise, it's because Li Muyang's energy conversion rate is too high. More than half of the energy Thanos used to attack Li Muyang was absorbed on the spot, and this is the cosmic energy from the Power Stone! Even Thanos could only draw upon it; he couldn't store that much himself!
Li Muyang was already stuffed, yet he could absorb energy without any pressure and then release it again... Director Mie could only helplessly accompany Li Muyang in his practice, hoping that the freak in front of him would stop someday!
At least, they didn't kill him; they just used him as a punching bag to vent their energy, which is understandable!
Why should I take the beating if I can't beat them?
To break the deadlock, even with the Space Stone in hand, Thanos had no chance to use it because of Li Muyang's entanglement. Thanos had no doubt that if he was careless for even a moment, he would lose another stone!
They're bandits! They're robbing people outright!
Meanwhile, most of the Avengers who were still on Earth had returned, including Captain America, Black Panther, Falcon, Wanda, and others. In addition to Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, they were still on Titan.
When they first saw Thanos fighting Li Muyang, they all wanted to come and help. It was Thor who stepped in to explain. Destiny Emperor Jun didn't hide his presence from the Avengers. After explaining the situation, apart from Wanda, who still wanted to go and finish him off, the rest of them kept quiet after trying unsuccessfully.
Well, Wanda... it was Dijun who promised her that Vision would be resurrected; this was an opportunity she earned herself.
"Actually, Thanos went too easy on you. He could have wiped you all outright, but he gave you all a way out and didn't exterminate you." Di Jun sighed leisurely, "If we were enemies, we definitely wouldn't have given you that kind of opportunity."
That's absolutely true. The Thanos in this world does things according to the movie setting, but his power template is from the comics! The difference is too big! With the current strength of the Avengers, probably none of them can withstand Thanos killing people.
So, Director Mie was too merciful.
The Avengers fell silent, speechless.
Indeed, aside from Vision, Thanos never personally killed any of the heroes. He would defeat them and render them incapacitated, then leave them alone. Even Vision was killed only out of necessity.
There were indeed casualties, but this is war, and Thanos was indeed the instigator of this war. However, it is also true that he would have been more efficient to personally eliminate them, but he did not do so. Even if he had, he did not exterminate them all.
The Avengers heroes are too easy to talk to; they can remain calm and analyze the situation even in this circumstances, and even think that what Fate Emperor Jun said makes sense.
As they were talking, they saw Captain Marvel running back, pushing a spaceship.
Then Iron Man and Doctor Strange arrived, and now the whole group was together.
After learning the whole story, Iron Man looked at Doctor Strange with some confusion, "Was this also part of your vision of the future? Is that why you willingly handed over the Time Stone?"
Doctor Strange remained expressionless, but his words carried a sense of helplessness: "Such beings are far beyond the reach of the Time Stone... It can only be said that things are unpredictable."
