Chapter 425 Thor, Ancient 1's Rival

Thor held Mjolnir tightly, standing in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by lightning, staring at Thanos in front of him with a sharp gaze. At this time, Thanos, blessed by the energy of death, was wrapped in a layer of deep darkness, his eyes flashed with a frightening purple light, and he exuded a more terrifying pressure than before.

The two warriors looked at each other, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode. The surrounding warriors felt the pressure and retreated one after another to make room for the fierce battle that was about to begin.

"Thor, this time, you won't be able to stop me." Thanos's deep voice seemed to come from the abyss, full of confidence and contempt. He slowly raised his hand, and the energy of death condensed in his palm, forming a rotating black vortex that seemed to be able to devour all life.

Thor was not afraid at all, and a determined smile appeared on his face: "No matter how much power you gain, I will defeat you!"

Before he finished speaking, Thor took the lead in launching an attack. He leaped high, and Thor's hammer cut through the sky, carrying the power of thunder that shook the world, and struck Thanos' head directly. Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and countless lightning bolts fell with the swing of the hammer, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in dazzling white light.

Thanos snorted coldly, raised his other hand, and quickly condensed a death barrier composed of death energy, blocking Thor's attack. The lightning and death energy collided violently, making a sharp explosion, and the powerful shock wave shook the surrounding rubble and debris everywhere.

Thor did not stop, he used the recoil force to flip in the air, quickly adjusted his posture, and swung Thor's hammer again, smashing towards Thanos' flank. This attack was extremely fast, at a tricky angle, and with a sharp sound of wind.

However, Thanos' reaction was just as quick. He moved slightly and dodged in an instant, and at the same time, he threw a punch, which was wrapped in a strong death energy and went straight to Thor's chest. The attacks of the two crossed in mid-air, bursting out brilliant sparks.

Thor quickly raised his left arm and summoned a lightning shield to take Thanos' blow. However, the huge force still pushed him back several steps, and his feet left two deep grooves on the ground.

After stabilizing himself, Thor took a deep breath, and the lightning in his eyes became even brighter. He raised Thor's hammer above his head, and murmured an ancient spell. The dark clouds in the sky gathered quickly, and the sound of lightning and thunder was endless. As the spell was completed, a huge pillar of lightning fell from the sky and struck directly where Thanos was.

Thanos felt this terrifying energy and his face changed slightly, but he did not panic. He clasped his hands together, and the death energy in his body instantly exploded, forming a huge dark vortex, trying to swallow the lightning pillar. Lightning and darkness intertwined fiercely in mid-air, competing with each other, and the entire battlefield trembled.

In the energy confrontation, Thor was unwilling to be outdone and exerted his strength again, continuously injecting the divine power in his body into the lightning, making its power continue to increase. Thanos also went all out, and the death energy continued to pour out like a bottomless pit, trying to suppress the power of thunder.

When the two forces were in a stalemate, Thor suddenly changed his strategy and abruptly retracted part of his lightning power, causing Thanos' dark vortex to lose its support and instantly lose balance. Seizing this flaw, Thor turned into a flash of lightning and quickly approached Thanos, with Thor's hammer pointing directly at his chest.

Thanos sensed the danger and dodged sideways, but was still hit by the edge of the hammer. The powerful impact pushed him back several meters, and a deep pit was created on the ground under his feet. Before he could stabilize himself, Thor followed closely and launched a series of swift close-range attacks.

The two engaged in a fierce close combat in the center of the battlefield, with each punch hitting the flesh and each move being fatal. Every swing of Thor was accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning, a perfect combination of speed and strength; while Thanos, with the enhancement of death energy, was even more terrifying, and every move was devastating.

Thor swept across, but was blocked by Thanos' crossed arms, but the powerful force still made Thanos' arms numb. Taking this opportunity, Thor lowered his body and punched out with his left fist, hitting Thanos' abdomen. Thanos groaned and bent his body slightly, but quickly counterattacked, and an uppercut with dark energy rushed straight to Thor's chin.

Thor quickly leaned back and narrowly avoided the attack, but Thanos's attack did not stop. He quickly followed up and hit Thor's chest with both hands. Thor was hit by this sudden heavy blow and flew backwards, hitting a huge rock heavily, and the gravel flew everywhere.

However, Thor did not fall down. He quickly stood up from the rubble, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit. He raised Thor's hammer again, the energy of the Reality Stone burst out, and the lightning power around him quickly gathered. The atmosphere of the entire battlefield became more tense with his actions.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Gu Yi quietly watched the death not far away, her eyes were calm and deep, as if she could see through everything. Gu Yi's hands were gently folded in front of her chest, and the fingertips were slightly flashing with golden magic light, showing that he had entered a state of preparation for battle.

Death still maintained his indifferent expression, shook his head slightly, looked directly at Ancient One, and said in a cold and ethereal voice: "Your opponent is not me."

Ancient One raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone: "Oh? Who could it be?"

At this moment, the surrounding space suddenly began to distort, and a strange and powerful energy filled the air. A low and majestic voice came from all directions, as if it echoed directly in Gu Yi's heart: "Gu Yi, long time no see."

Hearing this familiar voice, a complex emotion flashed in Ancient One's eyes. He sighed and said, "Dormammu, you finally showed up."

As the sound rang out, the surrounding environment changed rapidly. The original battlefield scene was swallowed by darkness, replaced by a space full of chaos and destruction - that was Dormammu's dark dimension. Countless whirlpools and twisted energies surged around, as if to devour all living things.

Ancient One looked around, feeling the strong evil aura in the dark dimension, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, he showed a faint ironic smile: "Dormammu, you still like these fancy ways of appearing as always."

Dormammu's figure gradually condensed and took shape in the darkness. His huge head was like a burning flame, and his eyes flashed with endless greed and evil. Hearing what Ancient One said, he let out a low laugh: "And you, Ancient One, are still so conceited. Today, I will personally end your era."

Gu Yi didn't take it seriously. He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him. A golden magic circle appeared around her, emitting a dazzling light, slightly dispelling the surrounding darkness. His voice was calm and firm: "You have tried so many times, but you still haven't succeeded. Today will be no exception."

Dormammu's laughter became even more arrogant, and the entire dark dimension was shaken by his laughter: "It's different this time. I will completely devour your power and make the entire universe submit to my darkness!"

Before he finished his words, a large amount of dark energy swept towards Gu Yi like a tsunami, and the space was distorted wherever it passed, as if it was going to tear everything apart.

Ancient One quickly cast a spell and pushed with both hands. A huge golden magic shield formed in front of her, firmly blocking the surging dark energy. The two forces collided violently, bursting out with dazzling light and deafening roars, and the whole space trembled.

While defending, Ancient One quickly retreated, his fingers rapidly moving in the air, and several magical light blades shot out from behind him, heading straight for Dormammu's huge head. The light blades pierced through the darkness with a fierce momentum.

Dormammu sneered, and a dark barrier rose around his body, easily blocking these attacks. His eyes ignited with even more blazing flames, and with a roar, he turned into a huge ball of dark flames and rushed straight towards the Ancient One.

Gu Yi did not dare to be careless and quickly opened the mirror space to wrap himself in it. The dark flames hit the barrier of the mirror space, causing ripples, but failed to break through the defense.

In the mirror space, Ancient One quickly adjusted his state and formed seals with his hands again. The space around him began to change dramatically. Countless mirrors emerged from all directions, reflecting Dormammu's figure countless times. In each mirror, his hideous face was reflected.

"The Time Stone? The Mind Stone? Ancient One, your fox tail is finally exposed. You are the one who can't spit out ivory from the dog's mouth!!!"

Dormammu was troubled by this sudden change and roared as he tried to break the mirrors, but every time he broke one, more mirrors emerged from the void and surrounded him layer by layer.

With the advantages of the Time Stone and the Mind Stone, Ancient One continuously cast various spells to attack Dormammu from different angles. The golden light of the spell shuttled through the darkness, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, with targeted power.

However, Dormammu was the master of the dark dimension after all. He quickly stabilized his position, and a huge burst of dark energy directly shattered the surrounding mirrors, and the entire mirror space became shaky.

Feeling the collapse of space, Gu Yi frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and concentrated, and the time around her seemed to slow down at this moment. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were shining with bright light, and the power of time surged in her body.

"Dormammu, let's do it again." Ancient One said softly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Dormammu felt the flow of time begin to become disordered, his face changed slightly, but then he grinned and said: "No matter how you struggle, you can't escape my control!"

An unyielding sneer appeared on the ancient one's aged face. He looked directly at Dormammu, his eyes full of domineering and determination accumulated over the years. His voice was low but full of majesty, as if penetrating the barriers of time and space: "Dormamu, time has not weakened my will, but made my strength stronger. Your so-called darkness is nothing but illusion in the face of true eternity. I have lived long enough and witnessed your threats too many times. Today, you still cannot succeed."

Ancient One slowly raised his hands, and the power of time and mind intertwined around him, forming a golden light. His tone was filled with an unshakable determination: "I am here to protect the order of this universe, and you will be suppressed by me again."
