Chapter 250: One Punch to Destroy a Star! The True Power of a Single Blow!
Chapter 250: One Punch to Destroy a Star! The True Power of a Single Blow!
Zhao Zheng effortlessly defeated Thanos, leaving all the surviving superheroes in a daze.
Those who had fought so hard to stop the Purple Sweet Potato-like being, some even sacrificing their lives, couldn't help but feel bewildered.
Just like that...
This man appeared and effortlessly resolved the situation?
What did their efforts amount to?
"Is this the end?" Scarlet Witch struggled to get up, her eyes wide with shock. "Who is he?"
Beside her was a black woman named Okoye, the captain of the Royal Guard of Wakanda, known for her exceptional combat abilities.
Okoye held a spear in her hand and scanned the surroundings with her eyes, only to see many of her fallen tribesmen, causing her face to contort in pain.
Especially when she saw Black Panther, who had been torn in half, it made her heart ache even more.
"Why didn't he come sooner?" Okoye couldn't help but ask.
Although she knew it wasn't Zhao Zheng's fault, if he had arrived earlier, her king and tribal warriors might not have suffered such a devastating loss.
Fortunately, the other superheroes around had a relatively sound moral compass, so no one paid her any mind.
They could understand her pain, as Thanos' previous punch had indeed shocked and terrified many.
"Natasha, wake up..." Captain America looked at Black Widow, covered in blood, and felt equally saddened, lowering his shield.
Dr. Strange, upon seeing this, suddenly reminded him, "Captain, it's not time to grieve yet."
"What?" Captain America looked up in confusion.
Could Thanos still turn the tables and fight back?
The next moment, Captain America's pupils constricted in shock, his face filled with horror!
In the sky, a massive planet had somehow reached the edge of the Earth.
Without the need for a telescope, they could see the surface of the planet, covered in craters and desolate, unmistakably the Earth's satellite—the Moon!
At that moment, the Moon had entered Earth's atmosphere, creating sparks as it rubbed against it.
When faced with a colossal object, people often experience fear, tension, and anxiety...
This is known as "Megalophobia"! Almost everyone has it.
The sheer size of a giant creature can make one feel incredibly insignificant.
And the Moon, currently colliding with the Earth, was undoubtedly the most enormous object anyone had ever witnessed!
Although the Moon is Earth's satellite, it is still a planet in its own right.
Its diameter alone is 3476.28 kilometers!
What would one feel when a planet hurtles towards them?
Perhaps the only thought in the minds of those present was utter despair—a hopelessness born from the inability to stop it!
"Oh my god!" Falcon muttered, descending from the sky and landing beside the group.
Scarlet Witch also stopped her attempts to heal the injured with Chaos Magic, standing frozen in place.
Captain America slumped to the ground, completely giving up the struggle.
What would happen when the Moon collided with the Earth?
Even a fool knew this would be an unprecedented catastrophe.
The Earth might survive, but all life on it would undoubtedly be wiped out!
"Stephen, was this in the future you saw?" Dr. Bruce Banner asked.
Seeing Dr. Strange's relatively calm demeanor, he exclaimed in surprise, "Can he even stop this?"
...
On the other side, Zhao Zheng had long noticed the Moon's trajectory.
He turned his gaze to Thanos and asked with a smile, "You were stalling for time, waiting for this? Is this your backup plan?"
This was indeed Thanos' backup plan.
Ever since Thanos sensed Zhao Zheng's terror, he realized that his direct confrontation might fail.
So, before arriving, he used the power of four Infinity Gems to alter the Moon's orbit, sending it hurtling towards Earth!
A planet falling from the sky is an unstoppable disaster!
Only by creating chaos could Thanos fish in troubled waters and obtain all six Infinity Gems.
"Yes."
Thanos rose from the ground, his eyes fixed on Zhao Zheng, and panted, "This satellite has already breached the atmosphere. Even if you use the Infinity Stones to alter its trajectory now, it's too late."
His face regained the solemnity of the Cosmic Tyrant, "Humans, embrace your fate!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng smiled and tossed the severed arm and Infinity Gauntlet to Doctor Strange.
Then, he returned Storm's Axe to Thor.
"This axe is impressive, but next time, keep a better eye on it. Don't lose it again. Also, I know you're itching to take down that purple sweet potato, but hold back for now. Until I return, don't lay a finger on Thanos!"
As his words fell, Zhao Zheng soared into the sky with incredible speed, reaching a terrifying velocity.
Faster than ever before.
In fact, his speed was so great that Zhao Zheng felt as if the entire universe was moving while he remained still.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zheng arrived beneath the moon.
Without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed his power.
On the ground, an ominous phenomenon began to unfold due to the moon's proximity to Earth.
Zhao Zheng took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
"Buzz—"
His fist instantly turned dark, like metal, and was enveloped in crimson lightning.
Aura surged around him!
Not only did he possess a full-level Armored Color Domination, but also a Grandmaster-level Tyrant Color Aura!
The next moment, a white barrier appeared, enveloping Zhao Zheng's fist.
Without utilizing his Immortal Demon Body, this was Zhao Zheng's full power!
Then, Zhao Zheng aimed at the moon above and unleashed a mighty punch!
As he struck, everyone on the ground had the illusion that the sky had suddenly turned to night!
All around, darkness engulfed everything.
Nothing was visible except for Zhao Zheng's glowing fist, the sole source of light in the world.
This was a clear sign of temporal chaos and day turning to night!
Furthermore, the entire realm seemed to freeze at that moment.
It was as if the universe itself was paralyzed by Zhao Zheng's power, too afraid to stir.
"Crack!"
Zhao Zheng's fist finally collided with the descending moon.
An indescribable sound of shattering echoed, as if the world had broken!
The heavens and earth turned into nothingness, time stood still, and the entire solar system seemed to pause for a fleeting moment!
Whether it was the powerful Thanos, Thor, or other superheroes and ordinary people, in that instant, before that towering figure, they all felt the same—incredibly insignificant.
Then, they lost their senses of hearing, smell, and sight, as if immersed in the chaotic void.
An intense sense of suffocation enveloped everyone on Earth.
Fortunately, this uncomfortable feeling didn't last long.
Moments later, everyone witnessed the sky in terror. The massive moon above was now covered in countless cracks, crisscrossing its surface.
Right before their eyes, the moon disintegrated!
It exploded into countless tiny fragments, filling the entire sky, blocking out the sun.
Anyone with common sense knew that these fragments wouldn't reach the ground.
They would burn up in the atmosphere.
...
Everyone stared at the sky in shock, speechless at the sight before them.
As the Cosmic Tyrant, Thanos had only one thought at this moment: he had lost fairly!
Only Iron Man, who had just regained consciousness, looked utterly bewildered.
"What happened? Why are there so many fragments in the sky? Did someone blow up a planet?"
