SWNOVELXO Chapter 127: Chapter 127
"Who exactly are you? We've been fighting for ages, and I don't even know your name." Kurohane asked, his voice slightly breathless, a hint of frustration in his tone. The blonde woman before him was a near-perfect replica of Captain Marvel, even surpassing Ms. Square Face in form and appearance.
"Clearly she's Carol Danvers from a comic book," Kurohane thought, a frown creasing his brow. "But I've never seen such an unreasonable Captain Marvel. This no-nonsense, direct-attack method is clearly her own persona. Now, not only has my persona been stolen, but even in terms of combat power, I, with two Infinity Stones, am only able to maintain an invincible state."
Kurohane had employed every ability at his disposal, but winning was impossible! Telepathy was attempted; the blonde woman's mind seemed to be protected by a mysterious energy, or perhaps her power was actually an embodiment of psychic abilities. Even using the Mind Stone to enhance couldn't control her actions; her inner will was as strong as Vibranium. Bullet Time was also tried, but the blonde woman's reaction speed was incredibly fast; even if Kurohane could catch bullets, he couldn't catch the blonde woman's fists. Using the Mind Stone to fire lasers would also be blocked by the photon energy cannons released from her fists. "Perhaps because I'm on the left, I can't even win a beam struggle!"
Hand-to-hand combat landed on the blonde woman's body, but it was neither painful nor itchy, which made sense. Someone who could fly across the universe without protective clothing, a fierce person who dared to take a meteorite to the face. "Even if my own strength were several times greater, it wouldn't matter. Even using a lightsaber made of Sacred Energy couldn't cut her!"
At any rate, Kurohane had been fighting this blonde woman for five minutes now and knew that this fight would likely go on until the end of time! There was no other reason; it was simply that neither of them could truly kill the other. Kurohane's attacks couldn't penetrate her defenses, while the blonde woman could indeed injure Kurohane, but every time Kurohane was injured, relying on the external mental power provided by the Mind Stone, Sacred Energy alone was enough to heal his wounds. "Even if my armor is shattered, I can use the Reality Stone to revert the damaged armor to its original state. If my limbs are broken, I can also use the Reality Stone to restore them to their original condition."
The origin of this blonde woman was unknown, but in short, the Infinity Stones had no effect on her. "Even if I wanted to turn her into noodles, I couldn't affect her power. Can you imagine the scene of being thrown around by a pile of noodles?!"
Without a maximum effect like the Power Stone, Kurohane's weakness was immediately exposed: strong enough defense but insufficient attack! Therefore, Kurohane was now preparing to enter the second stage of the fight: talk therapy!
Carol Danvers first threw a photon energy ball from her hand, which was then bounced away by Kurohane's magic shield. Only then did she calm down slightly, ready to talk to Kurohane for a bit, and spoke: "Carol Danvers, but I am not the Carol from your Universe."
Kurohane narrowed his eyes. "I knew it! The Carol in my Universe must still be that Ms. Square Face!"
"State your purpose. The Infinity Stones are crucial to every Universe. I cannot give them to you just because you want them," Kurohane began, his voice cold, his firmness piercing. "Truthfully, the Space Stone is in Odin's hands, and the Time Stone is in the hands of The Ancient One, the Sorcerer. I also once possessed those two Infinity Stones. You will not get these two stones from me, and don't even think about taking them from their hands."
As for talk therapy, it was just about showing one's backing and background. He was someone who at least had great people behind him; borrowing a tiger's skin to make a banner was always the right thing to do. Kurohane even exuded the aura of the Sacred Dimension from his entire body as he spoke, the light from the Holy Scar on his left hand shining through the Infinity Gauntlet, appearing extremely sacred. "Especially since the Ao Bai experience card has expired, and now without the Golden Bell Shield protecting me, taking a hit will be extremely painful!"
Carol hesitated for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, her gaze shifting from one Infinity Stone to the other, and only after a while did she speak: "The universe you are in has deviated from the development of the Sacred Timeline. If left unmanaged, it will likely be discovered by the Time Variance Authority in the near future. At that time, your entire Universe will be erased. Although you are considered a strong person with the blessing of two Infinity Stones, you are nothing to the Time Variance Authority." Her tone was serious, cautionary.
"So, you want to collect the Infinity Stones and then snap your fingers to reset the entire Universe?" Kurohane interjected, his eyebrows raised, a faint look of surprise. He also knew that his Universe would be discovered by the Time Variance Authority sooner or later, not just because of Sylvie, but more because of his own outrageous actions. "The plot is like a wild donkey unleashed, starting to gallop in a completely unexpected direction. The things I've already gained on Earth are quite substantial, but if I hadn't left Earth, the problem actually wouldn't be too big, but once I left Earth and came to the Universe to cause trouble, the impact is much greater!"
"This is the only way. As long as that snap can be performed, allowing this Universe to return to the Sacred Timeline, you can be spared from erasure by the Time Variance Authority. This is your only chance to survive," Carol explained, her gaze sharp, attempting to emphasize the urgency of the situation.
"What about your identity?" Kurohane asked, his tone shifting to one of more curiosity.
Carol Danvers: "Me? Just an ordinary person who wants to save various universes." A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips.
Kurohane snorted, his eyes rolling slightly. "I also want to be an ordinary person, an ordinary person who can explore the universe with just my body."
Carol saw Kurohane's expression and knew what he was thinking. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Don't look at me like that. I know what you're thinking. You just want to say, why don't I overthrow this damned Time Variance Authority? I've been there, but within the Time Variance Authority's domain, no superpowers or magic can be used at all. Even the most powerful Infinity Stones can only be used as broken rocks to prop up table legs in the Time Variance Authority. Destroying such an organization is something I cannot do alone!"
"Take me there. When I don't have superpowers, I'm very good at fighting," Kurohane proposed, a cunning grin playing on his lips. He actually wasn't lying. Even if he couldn't use any superpowers, the skills and character cards brought by the system could definitely be used! Just the Death Marksman ability alone would be enough for Kurohane to rampage through the Time Variance Authority (TVA)!
Carol Danvers looked at him with a skeptical gaze, her eyebrows raised, clearly unconvinced.
Kurohane sighed, his gesture reassuring. "Understood, this fierce woman doesn't believe me!"
The Infinity Gauntlet on Kurohane's hand disappeared in a flash of light, and even the Sacred Energy radiating from his body was retracted. Then he pulled out an M9 pistol he hadn't used in a long time, changed the magazine at an incredibly fast speed, and before Carol could react, he shot Carol.
Bang!
A brass-colored bullet fell from Carol's forehead, making a sharp sound on the floor. Carol didn't even blink, only her gaze grew sharper.
"Do you understand the meaning of that shot? Did I use superpowers or magic?" Kurohane asked, a faint smirk on his face, his tone defiant.
"Just prove it, why shoot me?! Die already, you dog!" Carol Danvers yelled, her eyes blazing with fury, a flash of energy momentarily radiating.
"Damn it! You low-class female Tyrannosaurus!" Kurohane retorted, completely unfazed.
