Chapter 179: Chapter 178
One hour passed quickly.
"Master, the time is up!" Ebony Maw reminded.
Thanos, seated on his floating throne, opened his eyes and looked at Chen Ye.
"Earthling, have you made your decision?" Thanos asked calmly. "Will you submit, or choose destruction?"
This hour had already tested Thanos' patience.
"If I submit to you, what do I need to do?" Chen Ye asked, still stalling for time.
"Follow orders," Thanos replied indifferently, as if unwilling to say more.
At that moment, the system's prompt finally appeared:
"Attention, there are only 10 minutes left until the mission ends..."
Hearing the system's prompt, a smile spread across Chen Ye's face.
"Alright then, Thanos, listen up. My choice is... goodbye!"
As he finished speaking, before Thanos and the others could react, Chen Ye slammed the "Disintegration Solution" vial onto the ground.
Bang!
The glass vial shattered instantly, releasing the red liquid inside, which quickly spread across the floor of the spaceship.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The spaceship's steel plating began to dissolve rapidly, as if it were paper being devoured by a powerful acid.
Moreover, the dissolving spread in all directions at an alarming speed.
In the blink of an eye, a massive hole had appeared in the steel plating in front of Chen Ye, with much of the metal evaporating completely...
The ferocity of the effect took Chen Ye by surprise.
This stuff was incredibly potent!
The "Disintegration Solution" lived up to its name, without a doubt.
Even Thanos was caught off guard, eyeing the spreading red liquid with a rare hint of caution.
Whoosh!
Ebony Maw used his telekinetic abilities to try to disperse the red liquid, but it had no effect.
The red liquid was like the blood of a demon—whatever it touched, it dissolved, and no force could stop it.
"Master, I can't stop it!" Ebony Maw reported.
The Chitauri leader, seeing this, panicked and shouted, "Master, the ship is going to be destroyed! We must leave!"
Thanos was furious, his gaze fixed on Chen Ye.
"Earthling, you will pay for this with your life!"
Chen Ye had already retreated to the edge of the exit. Hearing this, he smiled and replied, "Catch me first, then we'll talk!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Ye suddenly felt an invisible force gripping his body, trying to pull him back.
Looking up, he saw Ebony Maw gesturing at him—clearly, it was his telekinetic power at work.
Chen Ye coldly smirked, "Not playing with you anymore. Goodbye!"
With that, Chen Ye vanished from the spot.
Ebony Maw was left grabbing at thin air, startled, and quickly exclaimed, "Master, he has teleportation abilities!"
Thanos glanced angrily in the direction where Chen Ye had disappeared and said in a deep voice, "We're leaving!"
If they didn't leave now, the spaceship would be completely dissolved!
Such a terrifying solution was something Thanos had never encountered before.
He sensed that even with his eternal body, a single drop of that liquid would spell disaster.
Moments later.
Thanos, along with his subordinates, left the Chitauri spaceship and returned to his own ship, the "Sanctuary II."
As they boarded Sanctuary II and looked back at the Chitauri spaceship, they saw that the massive vessel had been reduced to little more than scraps.
Everything else had completely dissolved!
Seeing this, Ebony Maw and the others were shocked, while Thanos' expression grew even more serious.
A corrosive liquid this powerful was something even Thanos had never heard of.
If that Earthling had used this liquid on Sanctuary II...
...
On Earth.
The battlefield in New York.
Although Captain America had already closed the space-time portal, there were still many Chitauri left on Earth.
Cap, Iron Man, and the others were still fighting.
Even the Reincarnators had come out of hiding.
They were planning to kill as many Chitauri as possible in the last ten minutes to boost their mission ratings.
Suddenly!
All the Chitauri soldiers in battle collapsed as if their souls had been sucked out.
Even the giant creatures, which were difficult to deal with, lost their lives and plummeted from the sky, crushing buildings as they fell.
The entire Chitauri army seemed to have been switched off like robots, losing all their vitality and becoming lifeless corpses.
The exhausted Cap and the others were stunned.
"Cap? What just happened?" Black Widow's voice crackled through the comms. "Did you reincarnate as a soul mage or something?"
"It wasn't me!" Cap panted. "But I suspect it has something to do with that guy. He must have succeeded in destroying the aliens' base!"
"Incredible, he actually saved the Earth!" Hawkeye marveled.
Tony retorted, "Hey! Elf Prince, let's not forget that part of saving the Earth was thanks to my armor! Without it, that guy couldn't have even flown up there!"
"Tell Fury to start the cleanup," Cap's voice was filled with exhaustion.
...
"What the hell? What happened to all the Chitauri? They just died suddenly?"
"I have no idea. This wasn't in any of the guides!"
"Damn, could it have been Shura's doing? I remember he went into the Chitauri base earlier, didn't he?"
"Holy crap, now that you mention it, it seems likely!"
"If it really was Shura, then that guy is freaking amazing!"
"Holy hell, Shura is insanely powerful, isn't he?"
"Man! That's gotta be another SSS-level god-tier rating!"
"…Is this the difference between us weaklings and a genius like Shura?"
"So this is the strategy to get an SSS god-tier rating? Thanks for the tip, Shura!"
"Thank him? Do you seriously think you could pull off what Shura did…?"
"…Bro, no need to crush my dreams!"
"Sigh! Shura's strategies are only for Shura. We weaklings can't hope to imitate him!"
"I'm satisfied, though. I took down four or five hundred Chitauri. That should be enough for an A-level rating, right?"
"Damn, that many? I'm jealous… I only took down over a thousand. I hope I can at least get an S-level rating!"
"Get lost!"
With no more enemies left, the Reincarnators gathered and started discussing the situation.
There were only a few minutes left, and they were all waiting for the system to transport them back!
...
In outer space.
Ebony Maw suddenly pointed toward the depths of space and exclaimed urgently:
"Master, I've found that Earthling again!"
