A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

With a hissing sound, several semi-transparent orbs of light emerged from Thanos's body, swaying and drifting into the sky.

Soul Incantation!

Charlotte Linlin's specialty is gaining countless souls and lifespans through this trick. With these, Big Mom not only has an endless lifespan, but she has also created countless Homies, becoming one of the world's most powerful intelligence-gathering entities!

But at that moment, a brilliant orange-yellow light suddenly shone, and the ball of soul light floating on Thanos's body instantly shrank back into his body.

Bidige

The orange-yellow light flowed across his body, instantly dispelling the power of the soul incantation.

"Damn it..." Thanos's face turned extremely ugly as he came to his senses. For a moment just now, he had actually wavered!

"Unforgivable!"

Thanos gritted his teeth, as if squeezing the words out from between his teeth. His injuries slowly healed. Although he didn't have the Reality Stone's ability to alter reality, Thanos's own healing ability was not weak, especially with the power of the Infinity Stones.

For a fleeting moment, he felt fear and wavering. The arrogant Thanos was instantly enraged and vowed to extract Cao Gui's soul at all costs, plunging him into endless torment!

Buzz!

Thanos gripped the Infinity Gauntlet tightly, and surging orange-yellow energy gathered wildly, with purple and yellow light swirling around him. He was determined to wash away the humiliation Cao Gui had brought him in one fell swoop!

"Damn it..." Strange wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Thanos's immense energy had made him lose his confidence to resist.

Only now did he realize the gap between himself and top experts. Cao Gui had beaten him up like it was nothing... No! It was just playing around!

"If I survive today..." Strange gritted his teeth, making a fierce decision: "I will hand everything over to the King and focus on studying magic!"

Rumble!

Just as Thanos was preparing his attack, on the other side, in the direction of Cao Gui, endless lightning flashed and began to bloom, accompanied by muffled thunder.

Above the sky, amidst churning clouds, flashing lightning, and howling winds, a pair of bright yellow beads slowly emerged.

Just as Strange was wondering when that happened, silver light slowly bloomed, and an enormous dragon head condensed. The pair of bright yellow beads were not beads, but the eyes of the Thunder Dragon.

Then, the entire body of the Thunder Dragon slowly emerged, with a head like a camel, a neck like a snake, a belly like a house, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow.

The dragon meandered and circled around Cao Gui.

"Hoohoho!"

Below, Thanos roared to the sky, emitting a sound unlike any human's. As the powerful roar resounded, a colossal energy surge erupted, like a volcanic eruption, as Cao Gui departed.

Crackle!

A dull, thunderous roar, like the sound of a night drum, suddenly resounded. The lightning dragon coiled around him lurched violently and charged down towards the massive energy pillar.

Swish!

An endless white light instantly filled Strange's vision, and the energy contained at the point of collision chilled Strange to the bone.

"Those two monsters!"

Strange cursed under his breath, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and the space around him began to distort irregularly, instantly forming solid spatial barriers.

However, Strange knew very well that this defense was definitely not enough. He opened the Eye of Agamotto on his chest, and the Time Stone surged with green light, with layers of green halos appearing and surrounding Strange.

The moment he finished setting up his defenses, black cracks appeared around him, swaying and spreading like seaweed on the seabed.

Kakaka—!

The sound of space shattering echoed throughout the entire mirror dimension. In just a moment, the shattered space spread throughout the entire mirror space from the point where the energy collided.

From Strange's perspective, the entire mirror space looked as if it had been bisected by a giant black sword. The top and bottom were unharmed, but the space in mid-air was completely eroded and destroyed by a terrifying energy storm.

boom!

The next moment, Strange found himself surrounded by darkness.

"Damn it, those two guys..." Strange's expression changed drastically as Cao Gui and Thanos's energy storms sent the three of them flying into another dimension.

Looking at the endless void and darkness around him, Strange cursed his bad luck. A ring appeared on his fingertip, and a sparkling portal opened, allowing Strange to return to the Mirror Dimension.

As far as the eye could see, the energy storm that had been ravaging the mirror space had vanished, and like the three of them, it had fallen into another dimension.

Meanwhile, the empty mirror space is slowly repairing itself, and the dark spatial cracks are gradually healing.

"What about the two of them? Could they be trapped in another dimension and unable to return..." Strange's thought had just begun, but he quickly dismissed it. These two were no weaker than him; there was no way they couldn't have returned.

As expected, the Space Stone's energy fluctuated, and Cao Gui reappeared in the Mirror Dimension. Below, with a loud bang, the spatial barrier was shattered by orange-yellow energy, and a bloodied Thanos walked into the Mirror Dimension, panting heavily.

"They're two monsters..." Strange's eyes twitched slightly as he cursed inwardly.

Chapter 478 Cao Gui's Homie!

"Damn it..." Thanos looked at Cao Gui, who was floating in the sky, with a look of horror on his face. He could clearly see from the previous clash that Cao Gui had not used the Infinity Stones.

Neither the Space Stone nor the Power Stone were used by the opponent!

"But... so what!"

Thanos's face was solemn as he gripped the Infinity Gauntlet, which shone with a bright orange-yellow light. His wounds writhed, and the tiny cuts on his skin caused by the shattered space began to heal little by little.

"Am I the kind of person who would back down when faced with a powerful enemy?" Thanos raised his hand to wipe away the blood from the wounds on his face, and the orange-yellow light gathered once more.

In the sky, Cao Gui frowned slightly. Compared to the Thanos of 2023, this Thanos seemed to have a better grasp of controlling the Infinity Stones.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Thanos only possessed the Mind Stone before this. Even if he was very knowledgeable about gems, this shouldn't be the case, since the Soul Stone had never had any owner before.

"If I can't figure it out... then I won't think about it anymore!" Cao Gui narrowed his eyes, and lightning flashed again.

After the thunderous roar subsided, the lightning dragon that had disappeared earlier reappeared, its hundreds-of-foot-long body of lightning coiling and its bright yellow eyes captivating.

Thanos remained unfazed as the powerful offensive resurfaced; with his strategic mind, the same attack would have no effect on him.

However, Cao Gui did not immediately retaliate. Instead, a strange, semi-transparent ball of light floated out from his body and slowly merged into the head of the Thunder Dragon.

A look of seriousness flashed in Thanos's eyes. With his keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this was a ball of soul light that Cao Gui had stripped from him.

No wonder he was able to recover so quickly from the Soul Gem's attack; it turns out he possesses abilities related to the soul!

As the ball of soul light entered, the bright yellow eyes of the Thunder Dragon began to change. The bright yellow began to subside, and in an instant, a pair of golden vertical eyes slowly emerged.

Strange, who was watching from the side, suddenly changed his expression. The lightning dragon was originally just a creature formed from energy. It could be a divine dragon, a fierce tiger, or any other creature. As long as the person who formed it changed their thoughts, it could transform into any form.

But it hasn't been like that since just now!

That lightning dragon gained a soul and life, becoming a true elemental being!

Homies!

The creation of the Soul-Soul Fruit!

Charlotte Linlin's attack methods include her fighting style, which combines the celestial phenomena controlled by the Homies with her terrifying aura and unparalleled physical skills, creating a fearsome melee mage.

Every warrior dreams of becoming a mage, but Cao Gui didn't have the ability before and wouldn't dream of that. He honestly used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to unleash his ultimate attack.

But things are different now. With the Soul-Soul Fruit in hand, Cao Gui doesn't mind creating a lightning pet for himself.

As for what happens after the character card expires... well, we'll see after that!

"Roar!"

"

As soon as the Thunder Dragon appeared, a roar accompanied by thunder suddenly rang out. It circled around Cao Gui's side, roaming affectionately beside him.

“A creation of the soul…” Thanos’s face gradually darkened. Just as he had guessed, this guy had abilities related to the soul, which meant that… the Soul Stone’s ability to control souls was useless against him!

"In that case, let's begin the most primal battle!" Thanos clenched his right hand and pulled out a golden double-edged sword.

Even without the Infinity Stones, he is still Thanos, the overlord who strikes fear into the hearts of the entire universe!

With the Infinity Stones, he is an even stronger Thanos. How many beings in this universe can fight him to a standstill?

boom!

Thanos stomped his foot, creating a violent explosion beneath his feet, instantly transforming into a towering projectile. He held a golden double-edged sword upside down, its blade wreathed in orange light, and charged straight at Cao Gui.

Boom! Boom! Boom—!

With a snap of its jaws, several bolts of lightning as thick as water tanks crashed down from the sky, striking Thanos hard.

A burst of orange-yellow energy erupted, and Thanos, unharmed from the thunderous attack, was upon them in the blink of an eye.

"You think I'm afraid of you just because you get close?"

Cao Gui sneered, raised his hand and summoned Mjolnir, which flew over with a bright purple light.

Clang!

As the hammer and blade clashed, ripples of purple and orange-yellow energy exploded outwards. Strange, who was some distance away, felt a tightness in his chest, and his cloak billowed behind him, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

Buzz!

Thanos's expression grew increasingly grave, and he pressed down harder on his double-edged sword, which was wreathed in orange-yellow light: "Hand over the Infinity Stones! I will not be defeated!"

"Where do you get the confidence to fight me in close combat?" Cao Gui sneered, and the purple light of Mjolnir shone in his hand.

Thanos, who had been using his height advantage to suppress Cao Gui, suddenly changed his expression. A tremendous force gradually came from the blade, pushing him upwards.

"The power of the Power Stone!" Thanos's face darkened. Such formidable fighting power combined with the Power Stone...

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, it's really a tricky situation!

Clang!

Cao Gui grinned maliciously and suddenly flicked his wrist. Thanos, who seemed strong and powerful and had the upper hand, was pushed away by Cao Gui with such force.

Thanos retreated repeatedly, his body glowing with orange light to stabilize himself, but his face was extremely ugly. Just then, he caught a glimpse of a flash of electricity out of the corner of his eye.

Thanos was startled, suddenly remembering the enormous thunder dragon that had been coiled around Cao Gui's side, which had suddenly disappeared without him noticing.

Instinctively, the Infinity Gauntlet lit up, and without thinking, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

Pfft!

The next instant, a cloud of blood mist exploded from Thanos's ribs and back at the same time.

Behind him, lightning crackled in the air, and his dark body once again burst forth with lightning.

Thanos then realized that it was a winding thunder dragon the size of a thumb, no different from the lightning dragon that had been hovering around Cao Gui, only much smaller.
