Hode opened his eyes slightly, looking at Diana, Natasha, Wanda, and Yelena by his side, a relieved smile appearing on his face: "I'm fine, we succeeded."
However, just then, the core of the anti-life equationsuddenly emitted a beam of light, flying towards the sky.
In the light, a huge phantom appeared; it was the consciousness of Thanos.
"Do you think you can completely destroy me like this? I will return, and when that time comes, this World will fall into darkness forever!" Thanos's phantom said viciously.
After speaking, the phantom disappeared into the sky.
Hode and the others looked at the sky, their hearts filled with worry.
They knew that this battle was not over yet, and Thanoscould return at any moment.
But they also firmly believed that as long as they stood together, there was no difficulty they could not overcome.
"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with." Hode stood up and said firmly.
Diana and the others nodded one after another. Hand in hand, they walked into the distance, preparing to face new challenges...
Chapter 632: An urgent message arrives.
Hode gazed in the direction where Thanos's consciousness had dissipated, his brows tightly furrowed.
Diana, by his side, noticed his abnormality and gently patted his shoulder: "Don't worry too much, we will always find a way to deal with it."
Hode turned his head to look at Diana's firm gaze, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He recalled every bit of time since he first met Diana, from the tacit understanding when they first fought side-by-side, to the budding feelings that followed; every intimate interaction with her made him feel an unprecedented strength.
"Hmm, with you all here, I'm not afraid."
Hode held Diana's hand, and their gazes met, as if at this moment, all worries were temporarily cast to the back of their minds.
At this moment, Natasha walked over, her mechanical arm flickering with a faint light: "Now is not the time to relax. That anti-life equation core has flown away; who knows what tricks Thanos might pull with it."
Wanda also echoed: "That's right, we must find a countermeasure as soon as possible."
Yelena was silently checking her equipment on the side, her eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.
Hode took a deep breath and said: "Let's return to the Basefirst and study our next plan properly. Besides, I also need time to sort out my abilities."
Everyone nodded, and then they rushed towards the Base.
After returning to the Base, Hode sat alone in his room, closing his eyes to feel the strength he had gained from the increased intimacy with Diana and the others.
He discovered that by falling in love with different female superheroes, the abilities he gained were different.
When with Diana, he gained a powerful fighting will and a resilient physique; being with Natasha made him calmer and more resourceful in battle; Wanda granted him a deeper understanding and application of Chaos Magic; and Yelena gave him a huge improvement in technology and hacking skills.
"If these abilities can be well integrated, they might become the key to fighting Thanos." Hode pondered secretly.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Dianawalked in.
She was holding a cup of hot tea, handing it to Hode: "Tired, right? Drink some tea and relax."
Hode took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Diana, saying: "Diana, thank you. With you by my side, I always feel full of strength."
Diana smiled slightly and sat beside him: "There's no need to say thank you between us. Besides, I believe that as long as we are united as one, we will definitely be able to defeat Thanos."
The two chatted for a while, and Hode suddenly held Diana's hand, looking at her affectionately: "Diana, I want to tell you, I really love you. This love makes me braver and gives me the determination to protect this World."
Diana's face flushed slightly, and she leaned on Hode's shoulder: "I love you too, Hode. Let's face future challenges together."
Just at this heartwarming moment, the Base's alarm suddenly sounded.
Hode and Diana immediately stood up and ran towards the command center.
Natasha, Wanda, and Yelena were already there, their expressions very solemn.
"What's going on?" Hode asked.
Natasha pointed to the screen and said: "We just detected a powerful energy fluctuation rapidly approaching our location. Judging by the energy signature, it is likely Thanos's subordinates."
Wanda frowned: "It seems Thanos has already started acting; we cannot just sit and wait for death."
Yelena was quickly operating on the computer: "I am analyzing the source and weaknesses of this energy, trying to find a countermeasure before the enemy arrives."
Hode looked at the screen, a strong fighting spirit surging in his heart.
He turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, get ready. We must win this battle."
Everyone nodded and prepared for battle.
Before long, a group of strange-looking monsters appeared outside the Base.
These monsters were huge, exuding an evil aura, and their eyes flashed with red light, as if they wanted to devour everything.
"Charge!" Hode shouted and rushed out first.
He mobilized the twelve energy flows in his body, waved his hands, and a colorful energy wave shot towards the monsters.
The monsters were hit by the energy wave and roared, but they didn't suffer much damage.
Diana followed closely behind, wielding her shield and rushing into the group of monsters.
Wherever the shield went, the monsters were repelled.
Natasha used the weapons on her mechanical arm to precisely shoot the monsters' vital points.
Wanda unleashed Chaos Magic, creating flames and lightning to attack the monsters.
Yelena was on the side, controlling drones to interfere with and attack the monsters.
The battle was extremely fierce.
The monsters attacked continuously, and although Hodeand the others resisted with all their might, they gradually felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Hode was anxious; he knew that if they couldn't find the monsters' weaknesses quickly, they might fall into a desperate situation.
Just then, Hode suddenly thought of the understanding of Chaos Magic he had gained when being with Wanda.
He closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried to fuse the Chaos Magic with his own energy flows.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful force surging within him.
He opened his eyes, waved his hands, and a powerful energy pillar, fusing Chaos Magic and the twelve energy flows, shot towards the monsters.
Where the energy pillar passed, the monsters were knocked to the ground, emitting painful howls.
Seeing this, everyone's morale was boosted, and they increased the intensity of their attacks.
With their combined efforts, all the monsters were finally eliminated.
However, before they could catch their breath, a huge black hole suddenly appeared in the sky.
From the black hole, a tall figure exuding a dark aura walked out.
This figure was none other than Thanos's subordinate — Ebony Maw.
"Do you think that by eliminating those monsters you can stop My Lord Thanos's plan? Too naive." Ebony Maw said coldly.
His voice seemed to carry a magic that made people feel a sense of fear upon hearing it.
Hode looked at Ebony Maw, his heart filled with vigilance.
He knew that Ebony Maw was a powerful mage, and his strength could not be underestimated.
He turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, be careful. This guy is not easy to deal with."
Ebony Maw waved his hands, and streaks of black magicrays shot towards everyone.
Hode quickly mobilized his energy flows to form a shield, blocking the magic rays.
But the power of the magic rays was very strong, and the shield kept trembling.
Diana wielded her shield, trying to get close to Ebony Maw, but Ebony Maw's magic attacks made it difficult for her to get near.
Natasha used the flexibility of her mechanical arm to constantly dodge the magic rays while looking for opportunities to attack.
Wanda unleashed Chaos Magic to counter Ebony Maw's magic.
Yelena was on the side, analyzing the patterns of Ebony Maw's magic, trying to find a way to crack it.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, and Hode and the others were gradually unable to hold on.
Ebony Maw's magic attacks became more and more fierce, and their shields and defenses were gradually being broken.
Hode was anxious; he knew that if they couldn't think of a way quickly, they would all die here.
Just then, Hode suddenly thought of the hacking skills he had acquired while being with Yelena.
His heart stirred, and he shouted to Yelena: "Yelena, can you hack into Ebony Maw's magic system and interfere with his magic attacks?"
Yelena nodded: "I'll try."
She quickly operated on the computer, trying to find vulnerabilities in Ebony Maw's magic system.
After some effort, she finally succeeded in hacking into Ebony Maw's magic system.
Ebony Maw's magic attacks suddenly became chaotic, and Hode and the others seized this opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack.
Hode mobilized all his energy and rushed towards Ebony Maw.
Diana, Natasha, Wanda, and Yelena also followed, and everyone joined forces to attack Ebony Maw.
Under their combined attacks, Ebony Maw gradually couldn't hold on.
He roared, trying to unleash a more powerful magic, but Yelena kept interfering with his magic system, making his magic unable to be cast properly.
Finally, under their combined attacks, Ebony Maw was defeated and disappeared into the black hole.
The black hole also gradually closed, and the surroundings returned to peace.
Hode and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew this was only a temporary victory.
Thanos could launch another attack at any time, and they had to improve their strength as quickly as possible to be prepared.
"What should we do next?" Natasha asked.
Hode looked at everyone and said firmly: "We cannot lower our guard. We must continue to train and improve our abilities. Moreover, we must find more allies to fight Thanos together."
Everyone nodded.
They knew that the road ahead was long and full of challenges and dangers.
But they also firmly believed that as long as they stood together, there was no difficulty they could not overcome.
Just then, the Base's communication equipment suddenly rang, and an urgent message came in.
Chapter 633: Looking at Thanos, his heart filled with vigilance.
Hode quickly walked to the communication equipment and pressed the answer button.
An anxious face appeared on the screen; it was an Agentof S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Hode, we have detected a mysterious energy source in Antarctica. Its intensity far exceeds any previous record, and the energy fluctuation is very abnormal. We suspect it is related to Thanos or his subordinates."
The Agent's voice carried a hint of nervousness.
Hode's brows furrowed, and he thought to himself: "Antarctica? This is not an ordinary place. It seems there is another hard battle to fight."
He turned to look at everyone and said: "A mysterious energy source has appeared in Antarctica. It is likely a new plot by Thanos, and we must go there."
Diana stepped forward, her eyes firm: "Wherever you go, I will go with you."
Natasha also flexed her mechanical arm: "Exactly, I also want to see what new tricks Thanos has come up with."
Wanda and Yelena also nodded, indicating they were willing to go together.
Everyone quickly boarded the spaceship and flew towards Antarctica.
On the spaceship, Hode sat in his seat, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He didn't know what dangers they would encounter on this trip to Antarctica, and he didn't know if his and his partners' abilities would be enough to cope.
He turned to look at Diana from the 705u.com-53 Reading Club beside him.
Diana seemed to notice his uneasiness and gently held his hand.
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to do it." Diana said softly.
Hode looked at her gentle eyes, and a surge of courage rose in his heart: "Hmm, with you all here, I'm not afraid."
Before long, the spaceship arrived over Antarctica.
Everyone put on special thermal equipment and stepped out of the spaceship.
The scene before them shocked them; the originally icy and snowy Antarctica was now covered by a layer of purple light, and the light seemed to contain endless evil power.
"Everyone, be careful. This energy is very dangerous." Hode warned.
Everyone walked cautiously towards the direction of the energy source.
As they gradually approached, they could feel a powerful pressure rushing towards them, as if it were going to crush them.
Suddenly, a group of ice monsters crawled out of the snow.
They were huge, exuding cold air, and their eyes flashed with purple light.
The ice monsters rushed towards the group, and Hodeshouted: "Charge!"
He mobilized the energy flows in his body, waved his hands, and a flame shot towards the ice monsters.
The flame made a sizzling sound when it touched the ice monsters, but the ice monsters were not easily eliminated; instead, they attacked even more crazily.
Diana wielded her shield and engaged in close-quarters combat with the ice monsters.
The shield collided with the monsters' claws, making a crisp sound.
Natasha used the weapons on her mechanical arm to precisely shoot the ice monsters' vital points, but the ice monsters' bodies were very hard, and the bullets could only leave shallow marks on them.
Wanda unleashed Chaos Magic, creating walls of ice to try to block the ice monsters' advance, but the ice monsters soon broke through the ice walls.
Yelena was on the side, controlling drones to interfere with the ice monsters, but the effect was not obvious.
The battle reached a stalemate, and Hode was extremely anxious.
He knew that if they couldn't find the ice monsters' weaknesses quickly, they might run out of stamina.
Just then, he suddenly thought of the resilient physique he had acquired while being with Diana.
He took a deep breath, concentrated, and injected the energy flows into his body, instantly feeling his body filled with strength.
He shouted loudly and rushed into the group of ice monsters, his hands acting like iron hammers, smashing fiercely at the ice monsters.
Under his attack, the ice monsters were smashed to pieces.
Seeing Hode so fierce, everyone's morale was boosted, and they increased the intensity of their attacks.
With their combined efforts, the ice monsters were finally all eliminated.
However, before they could catch their breath, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the energy source.
A huge purple beam of light shot into the sky, and a figure slowly walked out of the beam.
This figure was tall, exuding a dark aura; it was none other than another of Thanos's subordinates — Black Dwarf.
"Do you think that by eliminating those ice monsters you can stop My Lord Thanos's plan? Today, you will all become the losers under my hand." Black Dwarf's voice was low and terrifying, as if it were a roar from hell.
Hode looked at Black Dwarf, his heart filled with vigilance. He knew that Black Dwarf was a strength-based warrior with immense power. He turned his head to the others and said, "Everyone, be careful. This guy is very strong; don't go head-to-head with him."
Black Dwarf let out a roar and charged toward them. With every step he took, the ground trembled. Hode quickly mobilized the flow of energy to form a shield, blocking it in front of the group. Black Dwarf punched the shield, causing it to shake violently. Hode felt a powerful force come through, almost making him lose his footing.
Diana brandished her shield, attempting to attack Black Dwarf, but Black Dwarf's skin was extremely tough; the shield hit him, leaving only a shallow mark. Natasha used the flexibility of her mechanical arm to circle behind Black Dwarf, attempting to sneak attack him, but Black Dwarfseemed to sense her movement and backhanded her, sending Natasha flying.
Wanda unleashed Chaos Magic, creating waves of fire and lightning to attack Black Dwarf, but Black Dwarf seemed unbothered by these attacks. With a light block from his arm, he deflected the fire and lightning. Yelena, on the side, controlled a drone to harass Black Dwarf, but Black Dwarfcrushed the drone with a single stomp.
The battle reached a desperate situation, and Hode and the others were gradually unable to hold on. Black Dwarf's attacks became increasingly fierce, and their shields and defenses were gradually broken through. Hode was anxious; he knew that if they couldn't come up with a solution soon, they would all die here.
Just then, Hode suddenly thought of the calmness and wit he had gained while spending time with Natasha. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and carefully observed Black Dwarf's attack pattern. He discovered that although Black Dwarf had immense strength, his movements were relatively slow.
A thought crossed his mind, and he shouted to the group, "Everyone, spread out! Use your speed and flexibility to attack him." Hearing Hode's words, everyone nodded and began to scatter. Hode mobilized the flow of energy to increase his speed, weaving rapidly around Black Dwarf, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Diana also utilized her agility advantage; she would leap and then swoop down, constantly attacking Black Dwarf's legs. Natasha used the weapons on her mechanical arm to shoot at Black Dwarf from a distance. Wanda unleashed Chaos Magic, creating illusions to confuse Black Dwarf's vision. Yelena stood by, searching for Black Dwarf's weak point, attempting to find an opportunity for a finishing blow.
Under the combined attacks of the group, Black Dwarfgradually became flustered. Hode saw his chance, mobilized all his energy, and charged toward Black Dwarf's heart. His hands, like sharp swords, fiercely stabbed toward Black Dwarf. Black Dwarf sensed Hode's attack and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Hode's hands pierced into Black Dwarf's heart. Black Dwarf let out a miserable scream, and his body slowly collapsed. The purple beam of light also vanished, and Antarctica returned to peace.
Hode and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew this was only a temporary victory. Thanos's conspiracy had not been completely crushed, and they had to continue searching for the source of the energy.
"Let's keep moving forward and see what this energy source really is," Hode said. Everyone nodded and walked toward the center of the energy source.
When they arrived at the center of the energy source, they discovered a huge purple crystal. The crystal radiated powerful energy fluctuations, surrounded by a layer of mysterious runes.
"This must be the core of the energy source," Wanda said. Hode stepped forward and carefully observed the crystal. He felt an evil power contained within the crystal, which seemed to have some sort of connection to Thanos.
"We must find a way to destroy it," Natasha said. Just as everyone was preparing to act, the crystal suddenly emitted a strong light, enveloping everyone within it. Hodefelt his consciousness begin to blur, as if he were falling into an endless abyss.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a strange space. Everything around him was dark, with only a few faint stars twinkling in the distance.
"Where is this? Where are Diana and the others?" Hode's heart was filled with confusion and fear. Just then, a voice rang in his ear: "Welcome to my domain, Hode. Do you think you can easily destroy my energy source? Too naive."
Hode was startled; he knew this voice was Thanos's. He shouted loudly, "Thanos, what exactly do you want to do?"
Thanos's voice echoed in the darkness: "I just want to make this World more balanced. And you, Hode, you and those superheroes have hindered my plan. However, I will give you a chance now; as long as you are willing to join me, I can grant you even greater power."
Hode was filled with anger: "In your dreams! I will not collude with you." Thanos sneered: "Since that is the case, then you shall remain here forever."
Suddenly, beams of purple light appeared in the darkness, shooting toward Hode. Hode quickly mobilized the flow of energy to form a shield, blocking the light. But he knew this was just Thanos testing him; the real danger was yet to come.
Just then, a huge figure appeared in the distance—it was Thanos. Thanos walked toward Hode step by step, and with every step, the ground trembled. Hode watched Thanos, his heart filled with vigilance. He knew this would be a battle of life and death...
Chapter 634: A Powerful Energy Fluctuation Appeared Ahead
Hode stared intently at the approaching Thanos, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, fear and anger intertwined. He knew full well that there was a massive gap in strength between him and Thanos, but he could not retreat now. For his companions, for this World, he had to give it his all.
"Hode, don't think you can resist me." Thanos's voice was like a booming bell, vibrating in the dark space, making Hode's eardrums ache.
Hode gritted his teeth and shouted in response: "Thanos, your so-called balance is nothing but a selfish excuse. I won't let you succeed!"
Thanos snorted coldly, raised his massive palm, and a purple energy wave instantly condensed, whistling toward Hode. Hode hurriedly mobilized the energy flow within his body, attempting to construct a stronger shield. However, the power of that energy wave far exceeded his imagination; the shield shook violently the moment it made contact, and cracks spread rapidly.
"Damn it!" Hode cursed inwardly. He tried his best to maintain the shield, but he could feel his energy draining rapidly. Just as the shield was about to shatter, he suddenly thought of the mysterious and ever-changing Chaos Magicthat Wanda used when he spent time with her.
Hode focused his mind, attempting to imitate the way Wanda cast magic, twisting and fusing the energy flow within his body in a strange way. A miracle happened: the shield, which had been on the verge of shattering, suddenly bloomed with a strange light, not only blocking Thanos's energy wave but also reflecting part of the energy back.
Thanos was slightly stunned, as if he hadn't expected Hode to be capable of such a counterattack. But soon, he launched another attack, and this time, the energy wave became even more surging and powerful.
While dodging the attacks, Hode pondered a countermeasure in his mind. He recalled the forward-charging, fearless aura Diana had when fighting side-by-side with her. He took a deep breath and infused this courage into his own fighting will.
"Come on, Thanos!" Hode shouted, no longer just defending, but actively charging toward Thanos. He mobilized the energy flow, condensed a searing Energy Sword between his hands, and slashed fiercely toward Thanos's arm.
Thanos waved his hand dismissively, easily blocking Hode's attack, but Hode was not discouraged; he quickly adjusted his posture and launched another attack. With every strike, he gave it his all, unleashing the strength and courage he had gained from his time with his companions to the limit.
However, Thanos's strength was simply too great, and Hode's attacks gradually began to feel inadequate. His body began to show wounds, and his energy was running low.
"Is this how I'm going to fail?" A sense of despair welled up in Hode's heart. But just then, he suddenly heard Diana's voice ring in his mind: "Hode, don't give up, we are all waiting for you."
Hode's heart jolted, as if the flame of hope had been reignited. He recalled the little moments spent with Diana, those warm instants, those moments of supporting each other. He realized he could not fall like this; he still had his companions and an unfinished mission.
"I cannot lose!" Hode roared, mobilizing the last sliver of energy within his body, while simultaneously recalling Natasha's calmness and wit, and Yelena's flexibility and agility from his time with them. He infused these traits into his battle, and his body felt as if it had been injected with new power.
Hode began to weave flexibly through the dark space, dodging Thanos's attacks while searching for Thanos's weak points. He discovered that although Thanos had immense strength, he was lacking in rapid movement and flexible adaptation.
"Now!" Hode seized the opportunity, and during a gap in Thanos's attack, he charged toward Thanos like a bolt of lightning. He gripped the Energy Sword tightly with both hands, concentrating all his power at the tip of the sword, and stabbed toward Thanos's heart.
Thanos sensed Hode's attack and wanted to dodge, but Hode's speed was too fast; he couldn't react in time. The Energy Sword fiercely pierced into Thanos's body. Thanoslet out a roar, swung his arm with force, and sent Hodeflying.
Hode fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. But as he looked at Thanos's injured body, a wave of joy welled up in his heart. He knew his attack had worked.
Thanos clutched his wound and looked at Hode angrily: "You actually dare to hurt me! I will make you pay the price!"
As he spoke, Thanos condensed powerful energy once again, preparing to launch his final attack. Hode struggled to stand up; he knew he didn't have much strength left, but he still did not give up.
Just then, Hode suddenly felt a familiar power surge into his body. He looked up and saw the figures of Diana, Natasha, Wanda, and Yelena appearing beside him.
"Hode, we're here," Diana said gently, her eyes filled with determination.
"How did you..." Hode looked at them in surprise.
Natasha said with a smile: "How could we let you face danger alone? We are companions, after all."
Wanda condensed Chaos Magic in her hands and said: "Let's defeat Thanos together."
Yelena controlled a new drone and said: "This time, we won't let him succeed again."
With the support of his companions, Hode's heart was filled with power. They stood side-by-side, facing Thanos.
Thanos looked at the group that had suddenly appeared and sneered: "Just by yourselves, you want to defeat me?"
The battle began again. This time, Hode and his companions coordinated perfectly. Diana brandished her shield, charging in the front to attract Thanos's attention; Natasha used the flexibility of her mechanical arm to look for opportunities to attack from the side; Wanda unleashed Chaos Magic, creating various distractions and attacks; Yelena controlled the drone to provide support from the air; and Hode focused his mind, mobilizing the remaining energy in his body, looking for Thanos's fatal weak point.
In the midst of the intense battle, Hode suddenly thought of every moment he had spent with his companions—those laughs, those tears, those moments of facing difficulties together. He realized that the affection and trust between them were the most powerful force of all.
"Everyone, attack together!" Hode shouted loudly.
Everyone worked together, launching their final attack. Diana's shield smashed fiercely toward Thanos's legs, Natasha's bullets shot precisely at Thanos's eyes, Wanda's Chaos Magic transformed into blades, stabbing toward Thanos's body, Yelena's drone fired a powerful energy beam, and Hode condensed all his energy into a massive energy wave, blasting it toward Thanos.
Under the combined attacks of the group, Thanosgradually became unable to hold on. More wounds began to appear on his body, and his energy was gradually depleting.
"No... this is impossible..." Thanos roared unwillingly.
Finally, under the group's all-out strike, Thanos's body slowly collapsed, and the dark space began to gradually dissipate.
Hode and his companions looked at the fallen Thanos and breathed a sigh of relief. But they knew this was only a temporary victory; although Thanos's conspiracy had been temporarily thwarted, there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.
"Let's go back," Hode said.
Everyone nodded. Holding hands, they walked together toward the direction of the light. When they walked out of the dark space and returned to the center of the energy source in Antarctica, they discovered that the huge purple crystal had lost its glow, and the mysterious runes around it were gradually disappearing.
"It seems the energy source has been destroyed," Wandasaid.
Hode stepped forward, looking at the shattered crystal, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that all of this was because of the affection and trust between them, because of their courage and determination to face difficulties together.
"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to do," Hode said.
Everyone boarded the spaceship again and flew toward the direction of home. On the spaceship, Hode looked at the companions beside him, his heart filled with warmth and gratitude. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they were by his side, he would have nothing to fear.
Chapter 384
However, just as the spaceship was about to leave the airspace over Antarctica, the spaceship's alarm suddenly sounded.
"What's going on?" Hode asked nervously.
Natasha quickly checked the dashboard, her expression becoming very grave: "A powerful energy fluctuation has appeared ahead, and it seems something is approaching."
Everyone looked out the window, and saw a huge black figure rushing towards them from the distance...
Chapter 635
Oh no, it's a black hole!
Hode's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a foreboding premonition welled up in his heart. He stared fixedly at the huge black figure gradually approaching outside the window, his brain running rapidly, trying to guess what this could be.
"Could it be the remnants of Thanos? Or has some new evil force emerged?" Hode frowned, his heart filled with worry.
Diana walked to Hode's side, gently patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't panic, Hode. No matter what it is, we can handle it." Her eyes revealed firmness and confidence, making Hode feel a little more at ease.
Natasha quickly returned to the console, her hands typing rapidly on the keyboard, trying to obtain more information about the black figure. "It's impossible to determine its identity for now, but judging from the energy fluctuations, its strength should not be underestimated." There was a hint of nervousness in Natasha's voice.
Wanda condensed Chaos Magic in her hands and watched outside the window vigilantly: "Regardless, we must be prepared for battle." Her Chaos Magic flickered with a mysterious light, as if ready to meet the coming challenge at any moment.
Yelena controlled the drone, hovering around the spaceship, ready to provide support at any time. "I have already put the drone into combat mode; as soon as it gets close, we will give it a head-on blow." There was fighting spirit in Yelena's eyes.
As the black figure gradually approached, Hode finally saw its appearance clearly. It was a huge mechanical monster, exuding a cold aura, covered with various weapons and defensive devices, looking very terrifying.
"What the hell is this thing?" Hode couldn't help but curse.
The mechanical monster stopped not far from the spaceship, emitting a low roar as if to demonstrate against them. Immediately after, the weapons on its body began to flash with light, and beams of Energy Ray shot towards the spaceship.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hode shouted, quickly mobilizing the remaining energy in his body to build a shield around the spaceship. The Energy Ray slammed into the shield, making a rumbling sound; the shield shook violently but was still able to hold for the time being.
"This can't go on; we must take the initiative to attack." Diana said, picking up her shield and preparing to rush out of the spaceship.
Hode grabbed Diana's hand and said: "Diana, don't be impulsive; let's discuss a strategy first."
Everyone sat in a circle and began to discuss the battle plan.
"I think we can divide the work. Diana will be responsible for the frontal attack to attract its attention; Natasha and Yelena will harass it from the sides and the air; Wanda will use Chaos Magic to interfere with its actions; and I will look for its weakness to deliver a fatal blow." Hode said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's do it!" Diana said, rushing out of the spaceship first. She brandished her shield and rushed towards the mechanical monster, the shield colliding with the mechanical monster's body with a huge sound.
The mechanical monster was angered by Diana's attack; it waved its huge arm and smashed it towards Diana. Dianadodged flexibly while looking for a chance to counterattack.
Natasha and Yelena also acted quickly. Natasha used the flexibility of the mechanical arm to shoot at the side of the mechanical monster, the bullets hitting the mechanical monster's body and splashing sparks. Yelena controlled the drone to attack the mechanical monster from the air, and the Energy Ray emitted by the drone kept hitting the mechanical monster.
Wanda condensed Chaos Magic in her hands, and the Chaos Magic turned into sharp blades, shooting towards the mechanical monster. After the Chaos Magic hit the mechanical monster, its movements became a bit sluggish, as if it had been interfered with.
Hode watched the mechanical monster's actions carefully from the side, trying to find its weakness. He discovered a core emitting a faint light on the mechanical monster's chest, which seemed to be its energy source.
"Found it, its weakness is the core on its chest!" Hodeshouted and rushed towards the mechanical monster.
The mechanical monster sensed Hode's attack and wanted to turn to attack Hode, but it was held back by Diana and the others and could not react in time.
Hode approached the mechanical monster quickly, mobilized all the energy in his body, condensed it on his hands, and smashed it fiercely towards the core on the mechanical monster's chest. However, the mechanical monster's defense was very strong, and Hode's attack did not cause much damage to the core.
"Damn it, this defense is too strong!" Hode cursed inwardly.
Just then, the mechanical monster suddenly emitted a strong energy fluctuation, blasting Diana and the others away. Hode was also knocked to the ground by this energy fluctuation.
"Hode!" Diana shouted worriedly.
Hode struggled to stand up, looking at the mechanical monster, his heart filled with unwillingness. "Are we really helpless against it?"
Just then, Hode suddenly remembered the bits and pieces of time spent with Diana, those sweet moments, those moments of mutual encouragement. A warm current surged in his heart, and at the same time, he felt a powerful force.
"Diana, I won't let you down." Hode said to himself.
He concentrated his mind, mobilized the power gained from his time with Diana, and a golden light suddenly radiated from his body. This light became more and more intense, enveloping Hode entirely.
Hode felt his strength constantly improving, and he rushed towards the mechanical monster again. This time, he was faster and stronger. He clenched his fists and smashed them fiercely towards the core on the mechanical monster's chest.
The mechanical monster sensed Hode's attack and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Hode's fists smashed fiercely onto the core, and the core emitted a violent vibration, its light beginning to flicker.
"Now is the time!" Hode was overjoyed and increased the intensity of his attack, smashing towards the core repeatedly.
Under Hode's continuous attacks, the core finally couldn't bear it, let out a loud bang, and exploded. The mechanical monster's body trembled and then slowly collapsed.
Everyone looked at the fallen mechanical monster and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hode, you did great!" Diana stepped forward and gave Hode a hug.
Hode felt Diana's hug, his heart filled with warmth. "This is everyone's credit; without your cooperation, I wouldn't have been able to succeed."
Natasha smiled and said: "Hode, you've become stronger again. It seems your relationship with Diana has deepened quite a bit."
Wanda also teased: "Yes, Hode, every time you date a different girl, you gain new abilities; this is truly enviable."
Hode scratched his head embarrassedly: "I can't control this either, but I'm really happy to be with you all."
Yelena controlled the drone to circle around, and after confirming there was no danger, said: "Okay, let's leave here quickly; there might be other dangers waiting for us."
Everyone nodded and returned to the spaceship. The spaceship started again and flew towards home.
On the spaceship, Hode looked at his companions beside him, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that the road ahead was still long and there would be more challenges waiting for them, but as long as these companions were by his side, he would be fearless.
However, just as the spaceship was about to leave the airspace over Antarctica, the spaceship's alarm sounded again.
"What's going on?" Hode asked nervously.
Natasha quickly checked the dashboard, her face becoming very ugly: "Oh no, the spaceship's power system has failed, and we are losing power!"
Everyone showed worried expressions.
"How could this happen? Wasn't it fine just now?" Hodesaid anxiously.
Natasha frowned and said: "It might be that the mechanical monster's attack caused damage to the spaceship. Now, 705u.com-53 Reading Club, the power system has a serious failure. If we don't fix it in time, we will crash."
"Then what should we do? Let's fix it quickly!" Diana said.
Natasha shook her head helplessly: "Repairing the power system will take some time, but we are falling rapidly now, and I'm afraid there isn't enough time."
Just when everyone was extremely anxious, the spaceship suddenly shook violently, as if it had received a huge impact.
"What is it again?" Hode shouted.
Everyone looked out through the window and saw a huge black hole appearing in front of the spaceship, and strong gravity was pulling the spaceship towards the black hole.
"Oh no, it's a black hole!" Natasha shouted in terror.
Everyone looked at the huge black hole, their hearts filled with despair. They knew that once sucked into the black hole, there would be no possibility of survival.
"Are we going to die here like this?" A feeling of unwillingness surged in Hode's heart.
Just then, the spaceship was suddenly shrouded by a mysterious force, and the speed of the fall slowed down. Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing what had happened.
Immediately after, a mysterious figure appeared in front of the spaceship...
Chapter 636: We have lost our way
The mysterious figure was surrounded by a soft blue light, with a graceful figure. When the light dimmed slightly, everyone finally saw clearly that it was Captain Marvel Carol Danvers.
"Carol!" Hode shouted in surprise, a glimmer of hope surging in his heart. Carol's appearance was like a dawn in the darkness, allowing them to see the possibility of survival.
Carol turned to look at everyone in the spaceship, her eyes firm and confident: "Don't worry, I'm here." Saying that, she condensed powerful energy in her hands, trying to counteract the black hole's gravity. Under the influence of her energy, the spaceship's downward trend slowed down further, but the black hole's gravity was too strong, and the spaceship was still slowly approaching.
"Carol, this is not a solution; the black hole's gravity is too strong." Hode said anxiously, his brain running at high speed, thinking of a countermeasure. He knew deeply that if they couldn't get rid of the black hole's gravity soon, they would sooner or later be sucked in.
Carol gritted her teeth and said: "Hode, you take everyone and find a way to repair the spaceship's power system; I will try my best to hold off the black hole's gravity." Her eyes revealed a kind of determination, as if she had already made the worst preparations.
Hode nodded; he knew he couldn't hesitate at this moment, so he turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, follow me; we must repair the power system as soon as possible." Everyone acted quickly; Natasha and Yelenawere responsible for checking the cause of the power system failure, while Diana and Wanda assisted from the side, passing tools and parts.
Hode watched the busy crowd and secretly vowed to ensure everyone left here safely. He concentrated his mind, trying to mobilize the power gained from his time with Carol, hoping to provide some help in repairing the power system. However, this time, that power did not appear.
"What's going on? Why didn't the power appear?" Hode's heart was filled with doubt and anxiety. He tried hard to recall the bits and pieces of time spent with Carol, trying to find a way to trigger the power. Suddenly, he remembered the scene of fighting side-by-side with Carol in the Universe, the belief of fighting side-by-side to protect the peace of the Universe, which caused a warm current to surge in his heart.
Just then, a blue energy surged from Hode's body and injected into the power system. Natasha shouted in surprise: "Hode, you succeeded! This energy has accelerated the repair speed of the power system significantly." Hearing Natasha's words, everyone showed a relieved smile.
However, just when they thought everything was moving in a good direction, the black hole's gravity suddenly increased, 705u.com-53 Reading Club, Carol's body shook violently, and the energy output fluctuated. The spaceship began to fall slowly again, and the hope that everyone had just ignited was extinguished once more.
"Carol, are you okay?" Hode shouted anxiously.
Carol gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine, but the gravity of the black hole has suddenly increased, and I can't hold on much longer."
There was a hint of exhaustion in her voice; clearly, she had already expended a significant amount of energy.
Hode looked at Carol, his heart filled with heartache.
He knew he could no longer let Carol bear all of this alone.
He turned to the others and said, "Everyone, speed it up. We must fix the power system before Carol can no longer hold on."
Upon hearing Hode's words, everyone worked even harder.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the repair of the power system was finally nearing completion.
Natasha shouted excitedly, "It'll be done soon, just hang in there a little longer!"
However, just then, the wreckage of the mechanical monster suddenly flew out from the black hole and crashed toward the spaceship.
"Watch out!" Hode shouted, quickly mobilizing the energy within his body to construct a shield around the spaceship.
The wreckage of the mechanical monster struck the shield, creating a loud noise, and the shield trembled violently.
Hode felt a powerful impact, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Hode!" Diana shouted worriedly, and she quickly stepped forward to support Hode.
Hode gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine. Everyone, continue repairing the power system; I will block these pieces of wreckage."
As he spoke, he mobilized his energy again, strengthening the shield's defense.
The wreckage of the mechanical monster kept hitting the shield, and Hode felt his energy depleting rapidly.
But he knew he could not retreat at this moment; he had to buy time for everyone.
Just as he felt somewhat overwhelmed, he suddenly recalled the power gained from his time with Wonder Woman Diana.
The courage to fight for justice and love surged within him, giving him a new burst of strength.
This power was injected into the shield, making its light even more dazzling, and the wreckage of the mechanical monster could no longer break through.
At the same time, Natasha shouted, "The power system is fixed!"
Upon hearing Natasha's words, everyone cheered.
Hode felt a surge of joy and shouted, "Carol, we've fixed the power system, retreat quickly!"
Carol heard Hode's words, nodded, quickly withdrew her energy, and flew toward the spaceship.
Just as she was about to enter the spaceship, the gravity of the black hole suddenly increased again, and a powerful suction pulled her toward the black hole.
"Carol!" Hode shouted in terror, rushing out regardless of the danger and grabbing Carol's hand.
The powerful gravity put immense pressure on his body, but he held onto Carol tightly, refusing to let go.
"Hode, let go, or you'll be sucked in too," Carol said anxiously, her eyes filled with emotion and reluctance.
Hode gritted his teeth and said, "No, I won't let go. We are leaving here together."
Just then, the spaceship's power system activated, and a powerful thrust caused the spaceship to rise slowly.
Hode and Carol felt the gravity gradually decreasing, and taking advantage of this opportunity, they quickly returned to the spaceship.
"Finally, we're safe." Diana breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and gave Hode a hug.
Hode felt the warmth of Diana's hug, his heart filled with warmth.
He knew that being able to turn danger into safety this time was inseparable from everyone's joint efforts.
However, just when everyone thought the danger had passed, the spaceship's alarm sounded again.
After checking the dashboard, Natasha's expression became very grim: "Oh no, the spaceship's navigation system has malfunctioned, and we've lost our way."
Everyone showed worried expressions.
Hode frowned and said, "Don't panic, everyone. We will definitely find our way home."
He looked at the endless darkness outside the window, his heart filled with determination.
He knew the road ahead was still long and that more challenges awaited them, but as long as these companions were by his side, he would have nothing to fear.
Just then, the spaceship suddenly shook violently, as if it had suffered some huge impact.
Everyone looked out through the window and saw a group of alien spaceships appearing around them, surrounding them completely.
"Who are these people?" Wanda asked vigilantly.
Hode looked at those alien spaceships, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
He knew that a new danger had arrived, and this time, how would they respond?
Chapter 637: Mobilizing All Power Within
Hode's eyes instantly turned sharp as he stared fixedly at those oddly shaped alien spaceships.
Their hulls shimmered with a cold light, and the lines of the ships were sharp, as if they were cold and ruthless hunters in the Universe.
"No matter who they are, since they dare to block our path, they should be prepared to pay the price." Diana gripped her shield tightly, her eyes full of fighting spirit.
She was always like this; no matter what danger she faced, she never backed down, and that indomitable spirit made Hode feel a surge of admiration.
Natasha quickly returned to the console, her hands typing rapidly on the keyboard, trying to analyze the origins and weaknesses of these alien spaceships.
"Judging from the scan data, these spaceships have advanced defense systems and very powerful weaponry; we must be careful." Her voice was calm and steady; even in desperate situations, she could maintain a clear head.
Yelena controlled the drone, hovering around the spaceship, ready to provide support to everyone at any moment.
"I'll send the drone to scout and see if I can find a breakthrough point." Her eyes were focused and firm, and she gripped the control stick tightly.
Wanda gathered Chaos Magic in her hands, the mysterious light flickering at her fingertips, as if containing endless power.
"No matter what conspiracy they have, I can use Chaos Magic to repel them." There was a hint of confidence in her tone, but Hode could sense the tension in her heart; after all, facing unknown enemies, no one could be completely relaxed.
Hode took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and tried to mobilize the various powers he had gained from his time with everyone.
He felt warm currents surging within his body; these were the powers from different girls, now gathering together, filling him with strength.
"Everyone, listen to me. We cannot attack blindly. Natasha, you continue to analyze the enemy's weaknesses; Yelena, have the drone search for flaws in the enemy's defenses; Diana, you and I will prepare to face the enemy head-on; Wanda, you use Chaos Magic from the side to disrupt their actions." Hode arranged the tactics methodically; he knew that at this critical moment, one must respond calmly.
Everyone nodded and began to act according to Hode's arrangements.
Just then, a harsh sound came from the alien spaceship, as if it were some kind of warning.
Immediately after, the hatch of one of the spaceships opened, and an oddly shaped alien walked out.
It was tall, covered in hard scales, and its eyes glowed with an eerie red light.
"Tiny humans, you have intruded into our territory; today is your day of death." The alien let out a low roar, its voice filled with threats.
Hode sneered and said, "We are just passing through and have no malicious intent. But if you insist on starting a war, we will not back down." His eyes revealed firmness and resolution; he knew that this battle was unavoidable.
The alien seemed to be angered by Hode's words; it brandished the weapon in its hand, firing streaks of Energy Ray toward the spaceship.
Hode quickly mobilized the energy within his body to construct a shield around the spaceship.
The Energy Ray struck the shield, creating bursts of roaring sounds; the shield trembled violently, but it could still hold for the time being.
"Diana, let's go!" Hode shouted and was the first to rush out of the spaceship.
Diana followed closely, brandishing her shield as she rushed toward the alien.
The shield collided with the alien's weapon, creating a loud noise, and sparks flew everywhere.
The alien had amazing strength; Diana's arm was numbed by its attack.
But she did not back down in the slightest; instead, she counterattacked even more fiercely.
She utilized the advantage of her shield to continuously block the alien's attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Hode was on the side, looking for the alien's flaws.
He discovered that although the alien's movements were swift, its turning speed was relatively slow.
So, seizing the opportunity, he lunged forward and kicked hard at the alien's side.
The alien was hit by Hode's attack, and its body swayed.
Diana took the opportunity to swing her shield and smash it toward the alien's head.
The alien hurriedly used its weapon to block, but the force of the shield was too powerful, and it was knocked back repeatedly.
Just then, Natasha shouted through the intercom: "Hode, I've discovered that the energy core of these alien spaceships is at the stern. As long as we destroy the energy core, their defense systems will be paralyzed."
Hode felt a surge of joy and said to Diana, "Diana, you continue to pin down this alien; I'll go destroy their energy core."
Diana nodded and said, "Don't worry, Hode, I will hold it off."
Hode quickly rushed toward the alien spaceship.
However, his actions drew the attention of the other alien spaceships.
Several ships quickly turned and fired energy cannons at Hode.
Hode flexibly dodged the energy cannon attacks while continuously approaching the spaceship.
Seeing this, Wanda gathered Chaos Magic in her hands, and streaks of Chaos Magic turned into sharp blades, shooting toward the alien spaceships attacking Hode.
After the Chaos Magic hit the spaceships, the spaceships' weapon systems experienced a brief malfunction, and the attacks stopped.
"Hode, hurry!" Wanda shouted.
Hode took advantage of this opportunity and accelerated toward the spaceship.
He arrived at the stern of the spaceship and found that the energy core was protected by a sturdy shield.
"This shield looks hard to break through," Hode thought to himself.
He focused his mind, mobilized all the power within his body, and attempted to break the shield.
However, the defense of the shield was very powerful, and his attack did not have much effect.
Just then, Yelena flew over, controlling the drone.
The drone fired lasers, attempting to weaken the shield's defense.
Seeing Yelena's support, Hode felt a surge of joy and increased his attack intensity again.
With the joint efforts of Hode and the drone, a crack finally appeared in the shield.
Hode seized the opportunity, concentrated all his power in his hands, and smashed hard at the crack.
The shield was finally broken, and the energy core was exposed before him.
Just as Hode was about to destroy the energy core, suddenly, an alien rushed out from the spaceship and lunged at him.
Hode hurriedly dodged to the side and simultaneously engaged in a fierce fight with the alien.
This alien was more agile than the previous one, and its attacks were more ferocious.
Hode was somewhat overwhelmed for a moment, but he did not give up.
He kept recalling the powers and techniques gained from his time with different girls, trying to find a way to cope.
In the fight with the alien, Hode suddenly remembered the time spent with Black Widow Natasha.
Natasha's combat skills were exquisite; she could always find the enemy's flaws at critical moments.
Hode's heart stirred; he began to imitate Natasha's fighting style, skillfully dodging the alien's attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Finally, Hode found the alien's flaw.
He turned around, got behind the alien, and then tightly choked the alien's neck with both hands.
The alien struggled a few times, but gradually lost its strength.
Hode took the opportunity to throw the alien aside and then rushed toward the energy core.
He gathered powerful energy in his hands and smashed it hard toward the energy core.
The energy core emitted a violent vibration, and the light began to flicker unsteadily.
