2137 Iron Fist Falling From the Sky

It could be said that Luke had forced Thanos to squeeze out his potential.

Previously, he had used the Infinity Glove very casually. The Reality Stone was just something that could create illusions and change objects in reality.

The Power Stone was either a light beam attack or ‘target lock.’

Now, he was using more than two Stones at the same time.

The Power Stone blasted out a lot of dirt and trash, and Luke had to make sure he wasn’t blown to smithereens.

The Reality Stone changed the terrain from rock and metal to water and fire and so on, which created a lot of obstacles for Luke.

The law of conservation of energy? Sorry, the Infinity Stones were one of the top energy sources in the universe.

It was said that they had been used countless times since the Big Bang, and until now, they didn’t look like they were running out of energy. They could be considered bug-like divine items.

Luke had just used his trump cards, which included recalling his clones and creating the Iron Fist armor, and had the upper hand.

Once Thanos got serious, the situation stabilized.

As time passed, Thanos swiftly gained the upper hand.

For a combat expert like Luke, the more precise his grasp of the situation on the battlefield, the fewer the holes in his attacks.

Although the constant obstacles which Thanos created weren’t a threat to Luke, it could disrupt his attack rhythm.

Luke could fight like this for an entire day, but Thanos was using the Infinity Stones, and wasn’t using much energy himself.

In fact, part of the function of the Infinity Glove was to control the output of the Stones.

The Power Stone had once been used to blow up an entire planet in one go. That wasn’t something Luke could withstand at all.

Of course, Thanos couldn’t use the Stone that way either.

If he really did, he would be crippled at least, if not killed.

Even if Thanos was lucky enough to survive, he would just be cut down by the other superheroes, and his body would definitely be turned to dust.

Thus, he didn’t relax at all when he regained the upper hand. Instead, he kept trying to severely injure or even kill Luke.

In the face of Thanos’s overwhelming attack, Luke smiled faintly.

Thanos was working so hard, but he didn’t know that it was useless, because Luke’s backup had arrived.

…

A moment ago, in a temporary hideout dozens of kilometers away.

Aren’t you done yet?! Big Dipper scanned Selina’s body again and couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

With a thought, he hit Director Selina in the head with Mental Resistance.

At the same time, he put away his armor and disappeared in a white speck of light.

Selina jerked back to her senses and jumped up from the deck chair. She was furious. “D*mn it, my dream, my sun… Hm, wait, where am I?”

In an instant, she recalled the tragic scene of escaping Thanos’s warship. She couldn’t help but shiver, and subconsciously lowered her head to examine her body.

However, she immediately stopped this inefficient behavior and pulled up her physical stats on the virtual screen of her suit instead.

After taking a look, Director Selina exclaimed, “WTF?”

Luke’s private message popped up. “Don’t doubt it. You’ve indeed awakened your superpower and become stronger, but if you don’t hurry over, I’ll have to kill Thanos alone.”

Selina rolled her eyes, and thrusters appeared on the back of the suit.

They exploded with bright flames as she instantly charged into the air and headed straight for Knight’s signal.

How far was 50 kilometers? It was equivalent to a half-hour drive by car.

For a suit that could fly at Mach 5 at full power, it only took 30 seconds.

Thanos pressed forward step by step, and it seemed that it would only be a matter of minutes before he defeated Luke.

Bright flames hit the ground.

Sensing something, Thanos, who was extremely skilled in combat, reflexively blasted out a purple light beam with his right hand, hoping to blow whatever it was away.

However, the purple light beam didn’t stop the person who was flying at him at all, and Thanos’s large body was hit.

Thanos only had time to look surprised before he was sent flying.

“Thanos is nothing!” The person slowly straightened in the air; the two huge glowing yellow fists were very eye-catching.

Luke opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

That was right. Director Selina, who had recovered with full health, came flying from over 50 kilometers away like an immortal descending… As if.

In the 30 seconds that she flew over, she read the battle intelligence which Luke had sent her. Then, using the power of Iron Fist, she decisively held out her fists in front of her and slammed into Thanos.

If she had been holding a sword, she would have indeed looked like an immortal.

But Director Selina had been in a hurry to finish reading the information, and she charged over with her fists stretched out in front of her.

Seeing this, Luke couldn’t help but think of a particular female superhero who liked to wear her underwear on the outside – hm, it was just the chest size that was different.

As the Batman of this world, there was nothing he could say.

So, he didn’t comment on the director who was posing in the air. He simply chased after Thanos.

Selina didn’t notice Luke’s subtle expression. Instead, she raised her fists in surprise. “Holy sh*t! Am I already that strong?”

It wasn’t that she was making a fuss; her glowing fists were slightly different.

Before today, whenever she used Iron Fist during the day, she would have to look carefully to make out the faint sheen covering her fists.

At that moment, she could feel the texture of the yellow light which surrounded her fists; it wasn’t just purely light anymore, and had more substance.

What pleased her even more was that it didn’t take a lot of effort to maintain the power of this Iron Fist; it didn’t feel like her energy was being ‘hollowed out.’

Thankfully, Director Selina had been through a lot, and Luke had given her a heads-up, so she only paused for a few seconds in surprise.

Hearing the sound of intense fighting in the woods not far away, she landed and drew closer.

Earlier, she had been afraid that she wouldn’t make it in time, which was why she had made such a noise entrance.

Now that Luke was keeping Thanos busy, she had to pay attention to when she took action.

It was not advisable to deal damage brainlessly, especially when there was a teammate who dealt much more damage than she did.

Recalling the battle drills she and Luke had performed before, she slowed down again and turned on stealth to the maximum.

Luke, who was fighting Thanos, noticed her actions and immediately said, “When I burst out later, you absolutely can’t space out; act quickly.”

“Burst out?” Selina was a little surprised. Thanos was wearing the Infinity Glove! Aren’t you trashing his dignity as a galactic tyrant by saying that?

Luke didn’t plan to say more. Given the tacit understanding which he shared with Selina, there was actually no need to specially give her a reminder.

However, when he unleashed his full strength later, it would probably exceed her regular understanding of him; it would be bad if it caused her to slow down a little, and then affect the outcome of the battle.
