Chapter 1992 The Manifestation of "Tao" and the Source of "Li" Transcends the Ab
Chapter 1992 The Manifestation of "Tao" and the Source of "Li" Transcends the Absolute of "Cause and Effect and Destiny"
The bloodline enhancement system is Thanos's true reliance; it is the ladder that allows him to transcend the Marvel universe and rise above all others.
Harvesting energy points, strengthening bloodlines, and even anticipating and utilizing the world line and the "plot" in advance—one step ahead leads to continuous advancement.
He conquered planet after planet, destroyed civilization after civilization, collected Infinity Stones, and defeated one powerful enemy after another.
Odin? He's very old.
Gu Yi? Holding fast to one corner.
Captain Marvel? Her power is reckless.
Dormammu? Dependency dimension.
Even those so-called "heroes" ultimately fell to their deaths in the face of his power.
He was used to intimidating people with force and scheming with wit.
He was used to seeing others struggle, be unwilling, and fear in front of him, and finally feel the despairing chasm between them.
He was used to being the creator of the "gap" rather than the recipient of it.
Power, wisdom, authority, system. He possesses everything and controls everything.
He had long believed that he was the ultimate "gap" itself, an insurmountable peak destined to lay the foundation for a new universe.
However, at this moment, facing this person who stood quietly, seemingly integrated with the cosmic background, Thanos's perception, which had been strengthened countless times, was as if he had fallen into an absolute "nothingness".
He could not "sense" Bai Xuan's level of life; he was neither an ordinary person nor a god, nor the transcendent being he was currently touching.
The other party's form of existence was completely beyond his cognition and understanding. Just as a two-dimensional being cannot understand a three-dimensional being, he could not "understand" Bai Xuan's "existence".
and so.
"A powerful being whose strength far surpasses mine?"
Thanos thought to himself.
The intense starlight in his dark eyes gradually stabilized, like a star about to go out, shrinking all its light in preparation for a final burst.
"You must be the group owner of that chat group."
Thanos looked at Bai Xuan. With his intelligence, he determined that after seeing Rick and Grey Wolf, they were people who came from the "chat group".
He was the target of this task in the chat group.
Therefore, the identity of the person in front of him, whose existence he could not comprehend, became obvious.
The chat group owner, like him, is simply someone even luckier.
Why can't it be a member of the chat group?
Based on his understanding of chat groups, almost everyone except the group owner came from works from his previous life; if Bai Xuan was also a character from a certain work, he couldn't possibly not recognize him.
Therefore, the only explanation is that the other party is not a character in any "work," but rather the group owner of the chat group.
"What does it matter to you whether it is or isn't?"
Bai Xuan's voice rang out. He neither admitted nor denied it, but simply stared at Thanos with his deep, tranquil black eyes, as if asking a question that had nothing to do with the life-and-death struggle before him.
Thanos remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.
His face showed no anger, no fear, and no resentment.
Anger is an emotion of the weak, fear stems from cowardice towards the unknown, and resentment is the struggle of being unable to accept reality.
His will had long been tempered by endless time and slaughter, becoming as hard as the hardest star in the universe.
He accepted victory with equanimity; he was also well aware of his defeat.
The path to becoming a king is fraught with bloodshed and may ultimately lead to one's death in a foreign land.
"Indeed, it's pointless; I am no match for you."
Thanos nodded slowly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Acknowledging the strength of his opponent and admitting his own shortcomings is not a disgrace to him.
Faced with an absolute power disparity, the confirmation of identity and the investigation of motives become irrelevant.
The outcome was already predetermined the moment the other party appeared.
"But that doesn't mean I'll just give up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Thanos's previously restrained aura suddenly erupted.
The pale golden lines beneath the skin, symbolizing the transformation and rebirth of the bloodline, suddenly shone with an unprecedentedly intense light, like a supernova explosion!
But the light did not leak outwards; instead, it was drawn in like an invisible black hole, pouring madly into the Infinity Gauntlet, which was inlaid with six cosmic singularities on its right hand.
He knew he was no match for Bai Xuan, and he didn't think this attack would pose any threat to Bai Xuan, but even when facing an opponent he couldn't defeat, he would still go all out.
He just didn't expect his journey to end at this moment.
He slowly raised his right arm, and the Infinity Gauntlet, under such terrifying infusion, let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain. Cracks spread and expanded rapidly like a spider web, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.
The next moment, the Infinity Gauntlet shattered completely with a crisp, heartbreaking crack!
Purple (power), blue (space), green (time), red (reality), orange (soul), and yellow (mind)—six beams of light, powerful enough to illuminate the galaxy, shot into the sky from the shattered glove!
Under Thanos's forceful unification, fueled by burning life and conviction, they began to entangle themselves in a frenzied frenzy: the destructive power of the Infinity Stones, the distorted rules of space, the chaotic ripples of time, the altered definition of reality, the trembling fluctuations of the soul, and the corrosive waves of the mind.
Six fundamental laws of the universe, now forcibly embodied and guided by Thanos, transformed into a point of light that defies description.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding space, time, light, sound—everything that existed—was mercilessly swallowed up and distorted!
"Boom!"
The point of light transformed into a massive beam of light and hurtled towards Bai Xuan.
Wherever it passed, space itself vanished completely amidst wailing, and the turbulent flow of time scattered like a shattered mirror. Reality was torn open, revealing rifts leading to unknown dimensions, and the shrieks of the soul and the lamentations of the heart transformed into tangible ripples that spread outwards.
This attack transcended the ordinary meaning of "attack"; it was a rampage of the laws, a self-destruction of existence. But faced with this attack, which was enough to make even the gods tremble and return a corner of the universe to chaos, Bai Xuan remained standing quietly in place, without even a change in his expression.
He simply stood there, like an ancient reef, letting the destructive waves surge towards him.
Then, before everyone's eyes, the beam of light stopped in front of Bai Xuan.
In an instant, the attack that had gathered Thanos's full power vanished.
It was as if a grand will descended at this moment, "denying" everything.
Bai Xuan did not make a move; this was the will of the world.
It is this universe, this spacetime, the rules that constitute all existence, that instinctively maintain a certain inviolable "order".
Thanos's final, all-consuming attack was, in essence, a violent distortion and alteration of the fundamental rules of the universe.
It threatens the stability of the universe's structure.
Under normal circumstances, an attack of this level might cause enormous destruction, but the world itself might be able to withstand it and slowly repair itself.
But when this force turned its attention to Bai Xuan.
When it points to this being that seems to rival the world and transcend all rules.
The will of the world has been touched.
Just like a person's body, it will never allow any "foreign object" or "error" that threatens its very existence to wreak havoc within it, and will mobilize all its resources to eliminate, repair, and correct it at the first opportunity.
At this moment, the will of this universe was threatened by the existence of "Bai Xuan". Although this threat may seem insignificant at a higher level, it naturally "denied" this destructive power in an incomprehensible way.
Let the torn space heal itself; let the chaotic time flow again; let the altered reality return to its proper course.
Everything happened silently, faster than thought, and more naturally than it should have been.
As the beam of light dissipated, the devastating scene receded like the tide, revealing Bai Xuan standing quietly behind it, his clothes not even fluttering.
And, not far in front of him, were the fragments of the Infinity Gauntlet, which had been completely reduced to ashes and scattered in the wind; and Thanos, who was still in a punching stance, his right arm and half of his body had turned into a transparent phantom.
Thanos looked down at his right arm and half of his body, which were disintegrating into the finest particles of light, starting from his fingertips.
It was as if his very existence was being quietly erased by some deeper, more fundamental rule.
He was not surprised.
The Infinity Stones are the embodiment of the six fundamental laws that constitute reality.
Forcibly activating the power of all six gems simultaneously, and using himself as the container and guide, is something that even his body, which has been strengthened multiple times by the system, could not possibly withstand completely.
He had foreseen this outcome when he decided to throw that punch.
The disintegration of the body and the annihilation of the soul are merely necessary costs for upholding one's beliefs, and he accepts them with equanimity.
However, what concerned him more than the demise of his body, and even shook the depths of his soul, was the unbelievable scene he had just witnessed.
He unleashed the ultimate strike of the Infinity Stones' laws, a power capable of severely damaging galaxies, yet it dissipated on its own as it approached his opponent, as if it had never existed.
"The Will of the World"
That's what Thanos sensed.
But does a "world will" truly exist in the Marvel Universe? Even if it does, shouldn't it be the creator?
But that feeling just now shouldn't have originated from Him; it seemed to be the true will of the world.
Even so, why would He manifest because of His own attack on Bai Xuan, and even so absolutely "deny" His own attack?
The Infinity Stones are the embodiment of the fundamental laws of the Marvel Universe.
An attack launched using the power of the Infinity Stones is, in a sense, an application of the power of the "world" itself.
Why would the will of the world "deny" its own power?
This is illogical.
unless
Thanos looked at Bai Xuan.
Unless the existence of this suspected chat group owner has some unimaginable connection to the will of this world.
Or perhaps his level of existence is so high that even the will of this world must actively maintain or even "obey" it?
Is it "relationship" or "position"?
Thanos couldn't make a judgment.
He could only see the unfathomable "gap," but he couldn't understand the essence of this "gap."
His body continued to disintegrate, but he used his strength to stabilize his fading form. Looking at Bai Xuan, he spoke:
"Since my death is an inevitable end."
"Then, before I completely vanish; I hope you can show me the true gap between us."
He wanted to know where the power that so easily "denied" his final blow came from.
What level does an existence that the world's will actively protect exist at?
What is the true nature of the "abyss" that lies between him and Bai Xuan?
He wanted an answer.
Bai Xuan listened to Thanos's words, but did not answer "yes" or "no".
He simply raised his deep, night-sky-like eyes and gazed silently at Thanos.
It was just a calm "gaze", but in that instant when our eyes met, it was all so intense.
Thanos's consciousness and soul directly experienced a cognitive shock that transcended all senses and reached the essence of existence!
Endless information, in a way that completely defies comprehension, was directly "infused" into his soon-to-be-annihilated soul!
He "saw" Bai Xuan's very existence.
It is not an "individual", not a "living entity", and not even a collection of "laws".
That was an endless sea of concepts!
It is the manifestation of "Tao", the source of "Li", and the absolute that transcends "one" and "whole", "existence" and "non-existence", "time" and "space", and "cause and effect" and "destiny"!
Before "He", everything is as insignificant as a grain of sand in the Ganges, as fleeting as morning dew, and as shallow as a child's scribbles.
He is the observer, the definer, and the "higher" that is indescribable, incomprehensible, and immeasurable!
gap?
This is not a difference at all!
This is a crushing defeat on the level of life! It's a fundamental difference in the form of existence!
It's not a matter of strength or weakness, but rather that from the very beginning, we weren't thinking on the same "level" or existing on the same "dimension".
"I see."
A flash of realization crossed Thanos's eyes.
He understood; he saw it.
That abyss is not an abyss of power, but an abyss of existence itself.
Then, he could no longer hold onto his dissipating body. His consciousness, along with his body, turned into countless tiny specks of light and then slowly dissipated.
Thanos, the Eternal Titan, the Slayer, the Executor of Destiny.
And so, they fell completely.
Where they were, only six Infinity Stones remained, seemingly somewhat dim, floating like ordinary pebbles.
Witnessing the end of a hegemon, and that despairing difference in dimensions.
The war is not over yet, and Thanos's army is still there, but Thanos is dead, so there is no need to care about the rest.
However, those involved in the war seemed unaware of what had happened, or rather, were still immersed in what had just occurred.
The battle they had just witnessed had a profound impact on them.
That power was so immense that it defied description, making it impossible for them to participate, or even to be a supporting character.
Can they really be considered part of this war?
