Luke reacted very quickly. His right arm was like a python as it twisted and whipped out, not giving Thanos a chance to lock him down completely.
In this kind of close combat, it was too dangerous to be locked down.
Although he had a lot of life-saving abilities, he didn't want to give Thanos a chance.
He had a trump card, but that didn't mean Thanos didn't have one.
But Thanos, who had made up his mind, moved even faster.
There was a ferocious glint in his narrow eyes. With a thought, the Infinity Glove loosened, and the Power Gem fell into his left palm.
Boundless energy poured into his body. Thanos grunted, but he clenched his left hand and punched Luke in the back.
Purple flames enveloped Thanos and Luke at the same time. Tyrannical energy ripples exploded from the entangled bodies of the two as they flew to both sides.
Luke instantly understood everything. He cursed Ty-Ty for being so cunning, but his body continued to fly backward uncontrollably.
The Iron Fist Armor shattered under the unlimited energy input from the Power Gem, and could no longer provide any protection.
The purple flames continued to enter his body and wreak havoc.
If the purple beam of light emitted by the Infinity Gloves was like spicy noodles, which made Luke feel like he was eating a "delicacy," then he, who was enveloped in the flames, was like a fat cow that had fallen into a hot pot — his entire body was about to be cooked into a spicy mess.
However, the crazy stacking of physical abilities worked wonders again.
The Sticky Candy ability offset most of the pain, the Evolution ability quickly sent the violent energy out of his body, and the healing ability kept repairing his body.
The only thing that couldn't be restored was the Iron Fist Armor.
Just as Thanos had speculated, after the violent blow, Luke used all the energy in his body to control and repair himself, and couldn't use it to protect himself for the time being.
Luke had suffered such a heavy blow, but Thanos wasn't any better.
His body, which had also suffered from the Power Gem's rampage, also lost control for a short period of time.
But he immediately used the Infinity Glove to control and remove some of the energy that had poured into his body, giving his body some breathing space. He then took the opportunity to place the Power Gem in his left hand above the groove on his right glove.
The divine artifact naturally attracted the Power Gem back into the groove, and the energy rampage ended.
Thanos raised his head slightly and looked at Luke, who was flying back in the opposite direction. With a thought, he activated the reality gem in his right hand.
A mound rose and he crashed into it.
Amidst the splashing of soil and weeds, Slayer Lord's figure disappeared into the ground.
Luke, who was gradually recovering, sensed something. "Keep an eye on him."
Of course, he was talking to Selina. He believed that she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
As soon as he said that, Luke activated his telekinesis and forced his body to descend. Then, he tapped his foot on the ground.
The ground rumbled, and a large crater appeared. His figure quickly moved to the right — this was the direction that Selina had just given him.
On the virtual screen, the big red dot representing Thanos was quickly flying away.
Two seconds later, with a loud bang, the ground trembled and cracked.
Slayer Tyrant's sturdy body was blasted out of the ground, along with Selina, who had exited her invisibility state in the purple flames.
Director Mie had just used the Reality Gem to sneak underground when Selina caught up with him.
With his body injured, he had no choice but to activate the gemstone's power. Naturally, the two of them exploded out of the ground.
Selina, who had evolved, stubbornly resisted the purple flames. She could not help but salivate.
As the owner of the original ability and an emotionless gourmet machine, she had a deeper feeling for this "spicy" energy.
Of course, the power of food only made her struggle even harder. She grabbed Thanos's arms tightly and tried to prevent him from using the Power Gem again.
But in the end, she wasn't as strong as Thanos.
Purple veins bulged on Director Mie's forehead, and his left hand slowly approached the Power Gem on his glove.
Luke, who was approaching at high speed, suddenly felt a strong premonition of death, and his heart skipped a beat.
Thanos's face was ferocious, but his attention was on Luke.
At that point, Director Mie already felt that he couldn't escape this time.
Selina's delay at the critical moment had cut off his last and best chance of survival.
Luke's cheat-like recovery speed would soon return to its peak, and Thanos's injuries wouldn't recover for a few days.
He was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Not only did he have to face Selina, who specialized in intercepting him, he also had to face the superheroes of Earth who would soon arrive, as well as the main force of the Earth coalition army.
He had lost the right time, the right place, and Luke on the other side. It would be difficult for Thanos to find another chance to win.
But … he was Thanos, an overlord who massacred the universe and ran amok.
If he was destined to fail, he would die a quick death — and bring the enemy who had forced him into this desperate situation with him. That would be perfect.
Nobody could kill him; the only one who could kill him was himself.
The unlimited attack from the Power Gem just now made Thanos certain that Luke wouldn't be able to withstand this violent energy.
This time, he wouldn't let go of Luke and the Power Gem. He wanted to watch Luke and him be reduced to ashes by the Power Gem with his own eyes.
If he could watch Luke die first, Thanos would further activate the Power Gem.
Luke was an enemy, and so was Earth.
Since he was going to die here, he would bury Earth with him! Thinking that, the impatience, anger, humiliation, and unwillingness in Thanos's heart faded, leaving only an icy will of death.
From the moment he chose to save this universe, Thanos had actually been mentally prepared to die at the hands of the enemy.
Although it was unexpected that he would die on Earth, it was also reasonable.
Like he said, this wasn't a personal grudge; it was just that they had different goals.
Thanos didn't know that he was facing an enemy who could foresee death, and who was also a psychic superhuman.
Such an obvious emotional change, such intense foresight of death, and the left hand that was about to land on the Power Gem exposed Thanos's intentions.
It wasn't that Thanos wasn't cautious, but that in such a fierce battle, he didn't believe that Luke would be able to instantly sense the enemy's thoughts.
After all, it had been less than five seconds since the two of them had been blown up to Luke pouncing over.
Thus, under Thanos's cold, dead eyes, Luke suddenly slowed down, and with a professional smile, he swung his fists at Thanos's head.
At the same time, he directly sent a mental message to Selina: "Snatch the gem."
Almost reflexively, Selina extended her arm, which was wrapped around Thanos's right hand. At the same time, the nano armor on her hand also covered the Infinity Glove and the four gems on the back of her hand.
Thanos, who had been distracted by Luke's exaggerated performance, subconsciously relaxed his focus on Selina. Who told her to keep acting like a support player?
