American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker
#272 - Reboot: Connect
The dense rain of light scraped off a thick layer of the earth's surface. The ground cracked open. Mist-like dust soared into the sky.
By the time the orbiting turrets around Stark cooled down and ceased fire, the surrounding terrain had been completely altered by the previous attacks.
Is it over?

The thought had just flashed through everyone's minds when a tall figure rushed out of the dust. His current state looked somewhat disheveled. A portion of his exposed armor showed cracked纹理, and the exposed skin had large burn-like scars. The skin layer had disappeared, revealing the flesh underneath.
He punched Dr. Banner, who was in front of him, staggering, and his heavy foot kicked directly into Dr. Banner's chest, which was bent over from the impact.
Dr. Banner's mechanically encased body rolled backward and flew away.
"Goodbye? Did you think this kind of attack could kill me?" Thanos stood in place, looking up at Stark, who was surrounded by numerous mechanical constructs in the distance. "Without seeing true despair, perhaps you will never hand over the Infinity Stones. Let's begin the next battle."
Thick clouds rapidly accumulated in the sky, and rumbling thunder echoed within the clouds, clearly audible to everyone. Winding lightning pierced through the clouds towards the ground with a seemingly slow but actually fast speed. A strong wind rose, and swirling winds, dyed to look like torn cloth, rapidly formed from nothing.
The sky darkened, as if switching from daytime to dusk after sunset.
The air began to become humid, and sporadic raindrops instantly became dense, turning into a torrential downpour. The entire city area was shrouded in dark clouds and heavy rain. The rain was so heavy that it was like a fog, and ordinary people could not see pedestrians beyond ten meters.
A ball of lightning rapidly fell from beneath the clouds, and the mist rising from the evaporating rain obscured him hazily.
Thor, completely covered in armor, wielded his Stormbreaker, which had been augmented, and descended from the sky, hacking at Thanos's raised arm armor.
His armor amplified his powerful control over the elements, as if he had been given multiple layers of buffs. The divine power within him flowed more actively, the attacks were more effortless, and the power of thunder was even more fiery, yet incredibly docile in his hands. This allowed his strength and the destructive power of Stormbreaker to leap upwards.
The dazzling electric light instantly raged in all directions like a waterfall of electricity. Even Natasha and the others, who were far away, had flickering electric light running across the surface of their mechanical suits when struck by the tail of the electricity.
This powerful blow even made Thanos bend his knees involuntarily, kneeling on one knee to support his body. However, the bad thing was that the arm armor, which already had fine cracks from Stark's attack, completely shattered under this blow. The axe blade even cut into Thanos's muscles, and then got stuck when it hit something hard.
Thor only felt that his Stormbreaker seemed to have struck some extremely hard substance. Every inch the axe moved forward, it encountered increasing resistance and difficulty. Even though he spent a lot of effort, he was unable to chop off Thanos's arm that was used to block.
The hardness of the opponent's body was simply beyond Thor's imagination. He even wondered if he had really used the Stormbreaker in his hand to cleanly chop off the head of a certain Thanos.
That Thanos was simply not the same species as the one in front of him!
Was it because the Thanos who was beheaded had been severely injured beforehand? Or was it that the Thanos in their universe was too different in terms of strength and other aspects from the Thanos in Luke's universe?
In Thor's feeling, the Thanos in front of him was even stronger than his deceased father Odin.
Ah!
Thanos roared, grabbed Thor, who was temporarily unable to break free because his weapon was stuck, with one hand, and used his left foot as the center, rotating as he stood up. At the same time, he also spun Thor, who was in his hand, in a circle, and with a release, smashed him into Dr. Banner and the others who were rushing forward.
He looked at the deep, bone-deep wound on his hand. Subtle electric light still wrapped around the muscles, and the nerves in his left arm had become scorched and numb under the electric light, temporarily losing sensation.
He glanced at Stark and the others who were surrounding him, as well as the Tyrant Blade stuck a hundred meters away in front of him. He pursed his lips with the fingers of his intact right hand and blew a whistle that was still crisp and loud in the rumbling thunder.
As the long whistle subsided, everyone clearly felt the ground begin to tremble slightly.
"It's those soldiers!" Captain suddenly turned his head. His machine's scanning radar suddenly scanned a large area of heat sources.
Thanos bowed slightly and charged towards the direction of his weapon.
"Stop him!" Stark, who had been paying attention to Thanos's movements, noticed his change almost immediately, and after keenly realizing that he wanted to get his weapon, he immediately shouted to Dr. Banner and the others in front of him in the communication channel.
"Leave it to me!"
Dr. Banner's metal fists collided, and then he lowered his body and started running, launching a charge towards Thanos face to face.
"I'll stop those soldiers and monsters," Hawkeye and the others volunteered in the communication channel.
"No, you should go help Banner and Thor. Leave those monsters to me," Stark said in a deep voice, rejecting Hawkeye's suggestion. In his opinion, no one on the field was more suitable than him for a collision in terms of quantity.
The metal cloud above Stark's head began to drop mechanical bodies one by one. Some were humanoid, some were insectoid, and some were beast-like, all kinds of strange shapes, like dumplings falling into the ground with a whoosh.
In just a moment, a large mechanical army gathered around, advancing mightily forward, acting as a thick metal barrier, blocking the impact of the Outriders.
The mechanical and gene-modified armies collided violently. Technological weapons and super-powered genes, metal bodies and flesh-and-blood life, unfolded a fierce collision in the city complex.
Metal parts and minced flesh flew everywhere. On the crowded battlefield, the destruction of machines and the passing of life existed every moment. The Outrider army under Thanos's command took the upper hand in strength with various powerful and strange abilities, but Stark's metal army erased this gap with its vast numbers.
The Outriders' usual advantage of cannon fodder and numbers was now reversed by Stark, who paid them back in their own coin. Their mothership fleet had been completely controlled by Stark before, torn apart, and pieced together with minerals from all over the world to create a boundless metal army.
Even if they cleared out a batch of machines, the next batch of machines would cross over the former's broken wrecks and replace them, colliding with the Outriders. The abandoned machines would then be lifted back into the air for processing under Stark's arrangement, and then transformed into new machines to land. Therefore, even though the Outriders caused a large number of casualties to the metal army and occupied a certain advantage in strength, they failed to respond to their master's call and move closer to the battlefield where their master was located. Even under the impact of the boundless metal army, they were even constantly retreating involuntarily.
Seeing that he had stopped the Outriders from advancing, Stark breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention back to the extremely important battlefield around him.
The Avengers were fighting Thanos fiercely.
Thor and Dr. Banner, as the main force, and half of the main force, responsible for using the reinforced shield to bear some necessary damage, as well as observing the fighter planes, and occasionally restricting Thanos's forward steps when the main force was unable to do so, were fighting Thanos in full swing.
In order to gain the power to suppress Thanos, Dr. Banner, who was armed, increased the extraction of some kind of energy from the void, which filled him with enormous power while also putting considerable pressure on his body.
The two monsters exchanged punches and kicks head-on. With Dr. Banner blocking in front, Thor could also accumulate power to release his destructive power. Thanos, who only had one arm intact, was actually entangled by them for a time.
Compared to the previous situation where no one except Thor could completely take Thanos's casual attack, and even could not participate in the battle, the current situation, which was so焦灼 that it was evenly matched, and even they vaguely occupied a slight advantage, undoubtedly gave Dr. Banner and the others great confidence.
However, this situation, which seemed to be gradually reversing the situation little by little, did not make Stark feel much easier. He was very clearly aware that all of this was based on Luke's knowledge and technology system. The most urgent thing in front of him was that he needed to pay attention to how long the high-dimensional energy on his body could last.
Now he was able to possess the great power of such a mechanical god completely based on that strange high-dimensional energy. Once it was completely consumed, he would soon be demoted in place and beaten back to his original form.
He had to make the worst preparations during this time, and also do the most complete preparations he could do.
Thanos's situation seemed bad, but Stark's scan found that the other party's vital signs were still strong. His seemingly wounded body was still as powerful as a monster compared to them! The strength and strength of vital signs meant that they wanted to completely solve the other party, and it was impossible to do so in a short time without a miracle.
And once they fell into a delay, Stark found it difficult to guarantee whether they would be able to end the battle before the peak period, or be dragged by Thanos to their low period of combat power.
Stark now needed to be responsible for acting as a multifaceted role, both as one of the brains of the team, but also responsible for the manufacturing of firepower and mechanical armies, and then also responsible for acting as a repairman, responsible for quickly replacing and maintaining the damaged machine parts of Captain and the others when fighting Thanos.
Even though Stark had used the best alloy metal he could currently manufacture as a material, Thanos could always cause damage and destruction to these powerful and indestructible machines in his cognition.
There was no doubt that once Stark lost this mechanical apostle-like form, the damage to the broken armor on Captain and the others, the continuous increase of the mechanical army, the disappearance of virtual intrusion, and the sharing of Thanos's action model that added computational power, etc., would all completely disappear.
At that time, all the advantages in front of him would cease to exist.
And obviously, the previous several consecutive high-consumption and large-scale actions were rapidly shortening the time he was a mechanical apostle. He now had to carefully calculate the remaining energy consumption. It was not impossible to have another high-dimensional energy fire coverage, but if it could not lay the foundation for absolute advantage, then it needed to be carefully considered.
Stark once again felt the drawbacks and helplessness of lacking energy. And this time, it was not something he could solve in a short time.
Thanos came too fast, so fast that he did not give them the slightest preparation time. This not only broke his original plan, but also messed up the situation.
The battle continued for more than ten hours, and the sky changed from dawn to dark. The dark clouds completely covered the starlight, and the originally brightly lit city, as the center of the fierce battlefield, was completely reduced to ruins.
It was pitch black all around, and the torrential rain was still pouring down from the sky, washing away the ruined city. The ground was also cracked with multiple cracks, like adding a few hideous wounds to the ruined city. Only the fiery electric light that occasionally swept across the clouds with thunder could allow people to see some of the surrounding scenery in an instant.
After more than ten hours of high-intensity combat, even with Stark's armed blessing, Hawkeye and the others could not help but feel a bit tired. Even Dr. Banner, who had the best physical strength, had severe muscle pain because he had absorbed too much energy from the void. The thunder on Thor's body still contained explosive power, but it gave people a feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
They had not held back in these ten hours, and had tried their best to add wound after wound to Thanos's body, but they had never been able to completely knock him down.
Whether it was life or strength, the other party was stubbornly like an incredible monster.
"What's wrong? Are you unable to continue fighting?" Thanos's appearance at the moment was also particularly miserable. His body was full of large and small wounds, his flesh was turned up, and it was scorched. One of the wounds almost turned him into a one-eyed person. However, at this moment, he keenly felt the hard-to-hide weakness and slowness from Stark and the others.
"Yeah, we've reached our limit," Stark opened the metal mask. The energy index on his body was constantly falling. Thanos relied on his powerful body and strength to finally last until the end. The other party had even been constantly pushing the distance forward.
Stark had no doubt that if it were the Thanos who had died, he would definitely not be able to survive under this lineup.
"Then do you accept defeat?" Thanos's eyes looked at Stark remotely. In the battle of these ten hours, he also deeply realized the role and threat that Stark played.
"Just like you said, the end of this battle means the beginning of the next battle," Stark showed a reluctant smile on his tired face. In the end, he still caught up at the end when the high-dimensional energy was completely exhausted.
[Connect the data dimension and send the coordinates!]
Stark used the last bit of remaining energy to activate the instrument device he had secretly manufactured in more than ten hours.
