Chapter 334: Their Destiny Confrontation

Thanos' eyes were full of fighting spirit and solemnity. Nathan Hawke in front of him made him feel an unprecedented pressure. This opponent from another universe was filled with a mysterious energy, but Thanos could not tell what it was.

Under the favor of death, the Nathan Hawke that Thanos saw seemed to be shrouded in an invisible darkness. This darkness revealed endless chaos and destruction, as if he contained a power that could devour everything. Thanos felt that the power in Nathan Hawke's body was different from any power he knew. It was neither the original energy of the universe nor the power of magic, but a more ancient and profound existence, as if it came from outside the universe.

Under the illumination of the Soul Stone, Thanos saw Nathan Hawke in an even stranger light. His soul was not a single entity, but was made up of countless fragments, each of which emitted different energy fluctuations. Some fragments carried strong anger, some were filled with sadness, and some revealed endless violence and fighting spirit. These fragments intertwined and collided in the depths of Nathan Hawke's soul, as if a soul storm could erupt at any time.

Thanos frowned slightly. He could not understand this strange existence, nor could he explain it with any knowledge he had. The power and soul of Nathan Hawke were obviously beyond his cognition. This inexplicable unknown made Thanos feel a little uneasy.

"What are you?" Thanos's low voice echoed in the Courtyard of the Abyss, carrying with it endless questions and vigilance.

Nathan Hawke smiled slightly, with confidence and mystery flashing in his eyes, "Don't think too much, Thanos, just enjoy the battle."

Thanos' eyes became even colder, his fists clenched again, the light of the Power Stone, Reality Stone and Soul Stone intertwined and shone in his hands, and powerful energy surged around him.

"No one can stop my destiny." Thanos said in a low voice.

Nathan Hawke's body trembled slightly, and fiery energy surged in his body. His eyes were burning with raging fire, as if every cell was ready for the upcoming battle.

Nathan Hawke took the lead in attacking. His fists were as fast as a storm, and they hit Thanos' chest with a strong gust of wind. Thanos had to raise his arms to block, and the strong impact made his body retreat slightly. Nathan Hawke did not give him any chance to breathe, and punched quickly, hitting Thanos' vital parts accurately with each punch.

Thanos swung his arms out suddenly, trying to push Nathan Hawke back, but Nathan Hawke dodged flexibly, quickly dodged sideways, and then kicked Thanos in the side of the face. Thanos staggered back with a hint of anger and shock on his face.

"You want to use the power of three Infinity Stones against me?" Nathan Hawke sneered and attacked again with his fist with a blazing light.

A trace of anger flashed in Thanos' eyes. He tried to use the power of the power stone to enhance his strength. His fist swung out with a purple light. Nathan Hawke jumped lightly and turned his body in the air to avoid the blow. Then, his elbow hit Thanos' chest hard, and the powerful impact made Thanos' body slightly bent.

Nathan Hawke did not stop, his movements were as smooth as flowing water, his fists and feet were intertwined, and each blow was accompanied by strong wind and destructive force. His knees hit Thanos' abdomen hard, and his fists bombarded him in turns, making it almost impossible for Thanos to fight back.

"You take your destiny too seriously," Nathan Hawke said in a low and firm voice, with a hint of sneer, "The longer you fight, the greater the chance that you will lose."

Thanos snorted coldly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He hated it most when others questioned his destiny. Facing Nathan Hawke's provocation, he spoke slowly, his voice low and full of majesty.

"You don't understand what true destiny is, Nathan Hawke. I am responsible for the balance of the universe, which is a supreme mission. Everything I do is for the survival and prosperity of the entire universe." His words were filled with endless firmness and coldness, as if he was declaring an indisputable truth.

"The universe is a complex system with limited resources and endless life. Unlimited growth will only bring inevitable destruction. Excessive reproduction and depletion of resources will eventually lead to chaos and collapse of the entire universe. In order to avoid this outcome, I must take extreme measures. Only by killing half can the other half survive and the universe regain balance."

Thanos' eyes became sharper, as if piercing through Nathan Hawke's soul. "This is not a simple massacre, but a sacred mission. I am the judge of the universe, holding the balanced scales. Every life I kill is for more lives to continue to exist. This is a cruel choice, but it is the only right choice."

He raised his fist, and the three Infinity Stones in his body glowed. They were Soul, Reality, and Power. "You see, these stones contain the most primitive power in the universe. They are the tools I use to fulfill my mission. Through them, I can achieve my goals in an instant. You cannot imagine the greatness of this power, nor can you understand the responsibility behind this power."

Thanos' voice was low and full of oppression. "Every time I swing the blade in my hand, I am paving the way for the future of the universe. Every life I destroy is for more lives to reproduce. The pain and despair are temporary. In the end, the entire universe will be reborn because of my actions and gain a new order and prosperity."

He took a deep breath, as if absorbing the energy of the universe. "Nathan Hawke, the darkness and destruction you see are actually the prelude to new life and hope. Only after experiencing darkness can we welcome light. Only by understanding sacrifice can we achieve true balance. This is my destiny, my path."

Thanos' words echoed in the Abyss Court like a huge bell. His eyes were filled with coldness and determination, as if all enemies standing in his way would be crushed into dust by this determination and strength.

"So, don't mention my destiny anymore," Thanos' voice was low and majestic, "What you see is just greatness that you can't understand."

A sneer appeared on Thanos's lips. "Perhaps defeating you may be a protracted battle for me now, but..." The Soul Gem and Power Gem in Thanos' body transmitted the power of rules to the Reality Gem. As the power was transmitted, Thanos' body gradually collapsed, his skin cracked, and his muscles tore, but his physique and spirit completely withstood this pain.

"I can expel you! Expel you back to your universe." Thanos chanted the ancient spell, and the spell echoed in the Garden of the Abyss like a low thunder, carrying an irresistible power.

Nathan Hawke understood that the Thanos in front of him valued destiny more than himself. As long as he could be expelled from this world, Thanos was not worried about Stephen Strange, Loki, and Peter Quill who had already been defeated by him. As the spell was chanted, Nathan Hawke began to feel the rejection of this universe, as if there was an invisible force trying to squeeze him out of this dimension.

At this moment, the scarred Stephen Strange appeared beside Nathan Hawke, with the Time Stone and the Space Stone shining in his hands. Obviously, he also realized that Nathan Hawke must be left here to fight against Thanos.

Nathan Hawke quickly shook his head at Stephen Strange, who showed a puzzled look on his face. Nathan Hawke said to him: "It is better to launch an offensive against Thanos now. As for me, when Thanos no longer thinks of fighting me to the death with his belief in destiny, but looks for opportunities to fulfill his destiny, now may be the clarion call for your counterattack."

Stephen Strange looked at Nathan Hawke with a grateful smile on his face, his eyes flashing with admiration and gratitude. He nodded gently, his voice low and firm: "Nathan, thank you. Your help has given us a precious opportunity."

Then, he waved his hands and chanted a spell, summoning Loki and Peter Quill, who were also covered in scars. After the two appeared, although their bodies were covered with scars, they had resolute expressions on their faces.

Loki raised his chin slightly, a sneer on his lips, his eyes revealing the majesty and unyieldingness of a king: "Thanos, your destiny is nothing but an excuse to deceive yourself in my eyes. As the king of Asgard, I will personally put an end to your atrocities and let you see what the true way of a king is."

Peter Quill's eyes were burning with the flames of revenge. He clenched his fists, his voice full of anger and determination: "Thanos, I fight for my love. Your cruelty and brutality destroyed everything, but I will not let you go on. In this battle, I will avenge him and seek justice for all those you have taken away."

The three of them looked determined, and Nathan Hawke nodded slightly, feeling their determination and courage. At this moment, although the road ahead was still difficult, their unity and faith were like an indestructible barrier, standing in front of Thanos.

"Ah, this feels so good." Nathan Hawke's figure slowly disappeared: "If there is a chance in the future, remember to call me at your wedding." After saying that, Nathan Hawke disappeared from this world.

Peter Quill looked at Stephen Strange and Loki in shock, then a smirk suddenly appeared on his face, and he said lightheartedly, "Hey, look at the three of us together. We are simply the strongest Rainbow Team in the universe, aren't we? If we can still stand after this battle, maybe we should consider forming a Rainbow League of Legends."

Loki raised his eyebrows and glanced at Peter, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of playfulness: "Oh, Quill, are you saying that after defeating Thanos, we should hold a grand carnival party? I am the king of Asgard, and parties are my forte."

Stephen Strange shook his head helplessly, but with a smile in his eyes: "Quill, you always find humor in the most tense moments. But to be honest, this idea sounds good. If we can survive this battle, we should really celebrate. Who knows, maybe we can even go to the Rainbow Bridge to dance together."

The three of them looked at Thanos in tacit understanding, with determination burning in their eyes. Thanos also stared at them, with coldness and disdain in his eyes.

“Come on!” “Come on!” “Come on!”

"It's over, you wannabe heroes."
