American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

"Let you all warm up for my ultimate battle with Locke, haha-"

With Thanos's loud laughter, he slapped out and ruptured the cosmic membrane.

At the same time, parallel universes were experiencing violent tremors.

Chapter 167 Shock and Shock: The Gathering of Kings

Thanos's power is certainly insufficient to simultaneously shake more than 200,000 Marvel parallel universes, but he can still have some impact on a few nearby parallel universes.

Left Universe, this is an Avengers parallel universe.

At this moment, astonishing ripples and distortions suddenly appeared in the sky.

The entire Avengers headquarters was thrown into chaos.

"Tony, what's going on? Did you mess up something again?"

Tony Stark looked completely innocent. In their current timeline, they had just finished fighting their unfilial son Ultron, and everyone still had some lingering fears about the troublemaker Tony Stark. Whenever something happened, they would instinctively suspect him.

"No, no, this is the entire Earth, no, not just the Earth, the entire solar system, the Milky Way, and even a wider area of ​​spacetime. This couldn't have been caused by Tony!" Dr. Hulk said in shock.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Avengers present changed.

A catastrophe affecting the entire Milky Way galaxy, or even something far larger—do they really have to go this far?! They're just a bunch of Earth super soldiers; this thing is simply too much for them to handle!

The next moment, a majestic voice resounded throughout the starry sky.

"Such a great battle deserves an audience!"

"????"

The Avengers were immediately filled with questions.

"What, what does this mean?"

"It seems, perhaps, maybe, that they made such a big commotion so that we would be the audience?"

Tony Stark laughed angrily: "I'd like to see what kind of battle this is, and what kind of people would invite us to be the audience like this. If it's not good, I'll definitely give it a bad review!"

Meanwhile, deep within the universe, on his throne, Thanos of this universe frowned.

That was his voice, yet it wasn't his; was it someone else's?

To please oneself, and to better please death, is that why such a commotion is made?

That's impressive!

The sheer power to shake the cosmic membrane and project other universes on his own was beyond his imagination.

The next moment, the entire sky stabilized, and images were projected onto this vast starry sky. With the starry sky as the backdrop and billions of living beings as the audience, an unprecedented battle unfolded.

Tony Stark in this world suddenly frowned: "That looks like us? No, that's not right either, it's not the same, it's us from another timeline?"

Captain America chimed in, "It seems to be around the time of the Battle of New York? I saw the Chitauri army, but they seem quite different from what we experienced. To be frank, they look much more terrifying than what I've encountered!"

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you guys notice the most crucial problem??" Hawkeye suddenly got anxious and slammed his fist on the table.

"We in there are so strong!"

The Avengers looked over and were immediately dumbfounded. Were they really that strong during the Battle of New York?

Captain America was seen fighting against thousands of Chitauri warriors head-on in the most brutal way. He could blow up a car with a single blow and send a row of Chitauri warriors flying. His ferocity was incredible. His brutal fighting style made people think that he was the Hulk wearing Captain America's clothes!

Tony Stark in the film is incredibly fierce. When his armor was accidentally destroyed by a Chitauri warrior, Tony Stark actually tore the remaining parts apart with his bare hands and then smashed the enemy to pieces with his bare hands—literally smashed him to pieces, turning him into a puddle of tomato juice.

And then there's Hawkeye, Dr. Hulk... they're all incredibly fierce.

Even the bald-headed guy rushed up and killed several Chitauri warriors with a flurry of wild punches.

"Actually, I can barely accept those things, but what's with Natasha?!"

Everyone's gaze shifted again, and then they were all dumbfounded.

At this moment, Natasha in the scene transformed into the ruler of lightning, surrounded by billions of lightning bolts, even more powerful than Thor. With a casual strike, dozens or even hundreds of thick lightning bolts would strike the earth, blasting away all the Chitauri warriors within a radius of several thousand meters!

After killing for a while, Natasha seemed to feel that killing the minions wasn't enough, so she went straight for the enemy leader. Instantly, the entire city was transformed into a hellish place where two energies intertwined. The terrifying scene was comparable to a small nuclear bomb being detonated!

Natasha in this universe was completely dumbfounded. Her counterpart in another timeline was actually that powerful?!

You know, her role in the Avengers has always been that of a pretty face, but in that timeline, she was incredibly powerful, completely overwhelming and crushing Thor, Doctor Hulk, and other top-tier fighters.

At this moment, the bald-headed man, suffering from severe paranoia, was originally preparing to record some information, but he stared blankly at himself in the screen, grabbed a small car as a weapon, and started smashing it at the enemy. He had no idea that he, the one in charge of command, could be so ferocious!

"Why am I not included?" the Scarlet Witch of this universe asked curiously.

Does that mean she doesn't exist in the universe depicted in the image?

Whether it was Scarlet Witch's words that triggered some kind of setting or not, the view of the starry sky began to shift.

On the battlefield of Asgard, Loki led the charge against the warriors, and the flames he casually unleashed dyed half the sky red.

"Loki is that strong too!" Thor exclaimed in disbelief.

Battlefields such as Vanaheim and Nidavellir.

Finally, we arrived at the Nine Realms, the true heart of the great battle.

The majestic and indifferent Thanos sat on his throne, suppressing the entire World Tree. His divine power was so overwhelming that one could not look directly at him. Just by looking at him, one could feel a terrifying sense of oppression, making one's eyes feel like they were about to burst, and one would immediately lower one's head, not daring to look any further.

Further down, there are terrifying battles fought across the vast starry sky, often affecting dozens of surrounding planets.

Thor stared in disbelief at the scene, his father, who had long since died, was now displaying his divine prowess, fighting head-on against ten great demons!

That wild and unrestrained laughter almost echoed through the starry sky, and could blow a planet apart with a single blow. It was incredibly fierce!

"I...I never knew my father was so powerful!"

Then, Thor became completely excited, and lightning surged uncontrollably around his body.

"That was exhilarating! So exhilarating! I'm completely excited! Anyone want to fight me?!"

The crowd ignored Thor, who seemed a bit off, and instead stared blankly at Scarlet Witch, who herself looked completely bewildered.

"Red Queen of Hellfire, today, slay the demon god here!"

With an arrogant voice, Wanda, far more domineering and majestic than this universe, launched a terrifying attack on a demon god, repeatedly knocking it away and embedding it into a large star. Vast chaotic power surged, and in the next moment, it brutally tore the entire planet apart. Terrifying chaotic power surged out again, directly engulfing the demon god opposite.

Amidst the demon god's agonizing howls echoing through the starry sky, his entire body was repeatedly torn apart, reassembled, torn apart again, and reassembled once more...

It highlights a fierce and explosive attack, which has been intensified to an extreme degree!

The Scarlet Witch, watching in shock, felt her own chaotic energy surge, staring blankly at the chaotic energy in her hand: "My power... it can actually be that strong?"

Deep in the universe, Thanos, the cosmic overlord, stared in disbelief at the scene above, completely unable to maintain his usual cosmic authority.

He couldn't help but stay there. As the overlord of the universe, he knew far more advanced and mysterious knowledge than others. It was precisely because of this knowledge that he understood how terrifying the scene in that picture was!

Individual-level combatants fight each other in star fields, while Celestial-level combatants fight each other with planets at their center!

This cosmic overlord, who was at the level of a sub-father, was actually only equivalent to a minor leader in that scene. He wasn't quite a soldier, but he was close enough.

More importantly, Thanos on the other side is really strong, too strong!

He even felt that Thanos was not much worse than Death, who was one of the five great gods of the universe and a creator-level being!

.........

Another parallel universe, this one is dominated by the X-Men.

At this moment, at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a group of mutants were staring in shock and disbelief at the scene unfolding on the screen.

"That's Quicksilver? I know him, but when did Quicksilver become that strong?"

We knew Quicksilver was fast, but when did he become this powerful? In just one second, at most one second, he sent thousands of enemies flying, creating a massive explosion in mid-air!

"And then there's Blink, I recognize Blink too, but that Blink! Is that really Blink??"

Little Blink in this world stared at the scene in disbelief. She knew her own abilities, which were limited to opening portals and providing assistance. But could anyone tell her that the way the Valkyrie in the scene casually created spatial rifts and completely annihilated the enemies in the entire area was something she could really do?

Her abilities can still be used like that?

"Look, look! That's the professor, and Magneto too!"

At this moment, in the scene, five extremely powerful beings are joining forces to besiege a terrifying demon god whose size exceeds one thousand meters!

Including Professor X and Magneto, the five most powerful figures in the world, a single blow from them is enough to be comparable to a nuclear explosion, completely destroying a city!

Amidst the combined attack of the five powerful figures, the demon god roared in pain and rage. It was clear to anyone with eyes that it was only a matter of time before the demon god was overwhelmed and killed.

"Wait, is that Teacher Qin?"

The zither in the picture is noble and aloof, completely different from the zither in my memory. It is more like a noble queen descending to earth, controlling the power of the phoenix. One after another phantom phoenixes cry out in the starry sky. What planets and meteorites are all completely annihilated in an instant!

Unparalleled, powerful, noble, aloof...

Even Jean Grey from this universe was stunned by the scene.

Turns out, I can be so handsome and elegant, and most importantly, powerful!

The destruction of a planet can happen in an instant; what could be more powerful than that?

Meanwhile, in several other parallel universes, people were in a state of shock and horror, staring intently at the battle on the screen that was beyond everyone's comprehension, unwilling to look away for even a second.

The Main World!

Thanos, seated atop the World Tree, suddenly frowned slightly, looking down with a pair of almost tangible eyes that seemed to pierce through time and space, landing on a particular spot.

 …

After a moment of confusion, Thanos suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyes narrowed sharply.

"That's it, that's it!"

"Locke, you never left!"

These words resonated in the parallel universes of the audience.

The left universe, Tony and the others who had any brains all showed solemn expressions at this moment.

One look at Thanos's domineering presence as he sits atop the World Tree, overlooking everything, and he's definitely the ultimate boss. Anyone who can elicit such a name from a boss like Thanos is clearly on the same level!

It's possible that the real ultimate battle is about to begin.

Even the Thanos of the Left Universe was clenching his fists. Could this ridiculously strong opponent be someone that even he had to be wary of? Just how powerful must that opponent be!

In the main universe, as Thanos finished speaking, all was calm and silent.

After a long while, the magnificent and vast divine power gathered in the starry sky, and after a moment, it condensed into a throne that was almost identical to the one under Thanos's command. On the throne sat a heroic and handsome figure.

Two thrones, two majestic figures facing each other. At this moment, the entire battlefield fell silent without anyone noticing, and the figure on the throne became the center of everything.

"I didn't expect that you would only realize this problem now."

"Is it the surge in power that has caused your caution to vanish?"

Thanos remained silent for a long, long time. Finally, he nodded and said, "It was my fault. I did lose my composure."

If he's wrong, he'll admit it. With Thanos's power at this point, he wouldn't bother to argue or hide anything.

"However, Locke, you're ruthless enough to keep refusing to make a move. Aren't you afraid of your subordinates dying?"

"Only through the tempering of war can true strongmen be born, and I am glad that you can provide them with this opportunity."

Thanos nodded; he agreed with the idea.

"It's a pity, perhaps we once had the chance to be friends."

Their beliefs were not significantly different, and many of their ideas were quite similar.

Locke laughed: "Just for those words, I'll give you a chance to live."

Thanos laughed too: "You're still as arrogant as ever."

"This isn't arrogance, it's confidence. You have it too, don't you?"

"Haha, hahaha..."

Their loud laughter echoed throughout the entire starry sky at that moment.

This is a mutual recognition between kings, transcending everything, transcending hatred, and transcending factions.

"After watching for so long, you're itching to join in, aren't you, Thanos?"

"Of course! I've been looking forward to this day for far too long!"
