Chapter 218
For a moment, the entire sky was almost completely covered by red energy blasts and laser beams.
All of these attacks were aimed at the figure in white in the distance.
Tony and the others were stunned as they watched.
Especially since the White-Clad Hero made no move to defend himself...
Captain America and the others were bewildered.
Malekith and the other Dark Elves, on the other hand, were filled with confidence.
If so many attacks hit, even if that guy was Asgardian, he'd be left bloodied and lying on the ground! They could almost see it now—the man in white, screaming in agony, dying under the countless attacks.
However, just as Tony Stark and the others were shocked, and Malekith and the Dark Elves were smiling, what happened next left them all in disbelief.
Boom, boom, boom...
Countless red energy blasts and laser beams continuously struck the white-clad figure.
Yet, as they approached him, they transformed.
Each red energy blast and laser beam turned into a colorful bubble.
For a moment, Malekith and the others felt as if they were holding toy guns instead of energy weapons.
"How is this possible?!"
Malekith was shocked.
In the distance, Tony Stark and the others, including Thor, were also stunned.
"Did they just turn into bubbles?"
"What just happened? Am I hallucinating?"
"Wait, are they using toy weapons now?"
As if responding to their thoughts, a red glow flashed, and an incredible scene unfolded.
The energy guns in Malekith and the Dark Elves' hands all turned into children's toy guns.
"Fuck..."
Seeing those toy guns, Tony and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, like they'd seen them in the hands of kids before.
This mind-boggling scene left many people with their mouths agape.
Among the crowd, Captain America seemed to realize something and murmured, "Is this the White-Clad Hero's Omega-level mutant ability?"
"It's still just as terrifying..."
Hearing Captain America's words, Natasha and the others were suddenly enlightened and utterly shocked.
How many times had it been now?
No matter how many times they saw it, the reality-warping power before them never ceased to amaze.
Such power was truly terrifying...
...
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Director Nick Fury was astounded.
"This power... can it be used freely?"
He found it unbelievable.
Initially, he thought that the White-Clad Hero's power must have some limitations...
But this scene seemed to shatter his assumptions.
This White-Clad Hero seemed capable of using this reality-defying, almost divine power at will...
On the other hand, the Chitauri commander seemed to have thought of something, but his face remained full of shock.
The Aether, the Reality Stone? Impossible! The Aether alone, without the gauntlet and the Power Stone, couldn't possibly be used to warp reality like this!
The Reality Stone was powerful, but the cost of using it was unimaginable! Therefore, he believed that the power they were witnessing wasn't from the Reality Stone.
After all, this kind of reality-warping ability was something the White-Clad Hero already possessed.
"Is it his ability again?"
The Chitauri commander was filled with disbelief.
...
On the scene.
The Dark Elves were in turmoil as they looked at the toy guns in their hands.
Malekith was initially shocked, then realized something, and asked in disbelief, "The Aether?"
"Did you use the Aether?"
"Impossible, Asgardian! Where did you get such vast energy to power the Aether?"
If the Aether, the Reality Stone, was really so easy to use without any limits, he would have long since used it to annihilate Asgard. He wouldn't have lost to the gods of Asgard.
So, his heart was filled with doubt.
Before he could get an answer from the white-clad figure, someone else in the distance responded first.
"What is this guy talking about?"
"What Aether? Isn't this the White-Clad Hero's Omega ability?"
"No matter how many times I see it, it's still terrifying..."
Listening to their discussions, Malekith was dumbfounded.
What? Omega ability? "What are you weak humans talking about? Omega ability?"
"This is clearly the power of the Aether!"
Tony and the others were puzzled, not understanding why this alien was mistaking the White-Clad Hero's Omega ability for the power of the Aether.
At that moment.
Holding Mjolnir, Thor explained, "The Aether is the Reality Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. Before I came, my father told me about it. Apparently, it can alter reality."
"Infinity Stone?"
"So that's what it is..."
When Thor said that, Tony and the others immediately understood.
After the Battle of New York, they had heard the White-Clad Hero mention the Infinity Stones. Among the six stones, one of them was the Reality Stone.
While thinking about it, they cast surprised glances at the White-Clad Hero.
"Could it be that the White-Clad Hero can change reality because of that stone?"
"That's quite unexpected..."
Just as they were thinking this, Thor shook his head and said, "Even before the Reality Stone surfaced, my brother could already alter reality."
"And for the Reality Stone to alter reality, it requires immense energy, and it cannot make permanent changes. For example, that butterfly earlier—if it had been changed by the Reality Stone, it would have reverted by now. It wouldn't have stayed as it is, let alone have life."
"I only know this because my father told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known either..."
Hearing this, Tony and the others were shocked.
So that was the truth? They thought...
In S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury overheard this through the equipment, and his eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Damn it, what kind of monster was this? A power even scarier than an Infinity Stone, which had limitless energy! Nick Fury couldn't help but think of the Tesseract, but the thought alone made his scalp tingle, and he became even more wary of the White-Clad Hero.
...
On the scene.
Malekith and the Dark Elves' faces kept changing as they listened to the humans in the distance.
"Impossible!"
"Son of Odin, what nonsense are you spouting? This is clearly the power of the Aether!"
Malekith refused to believe that this reality-warping power was something the white-clad figure possessed by himself.
Or rather, the fear in his heart made him unwilling to accept this answer.
If what Odin's son said was true, then the power of the white-clad figure before him would be comparable to, or even surpass, the Aether? If that were true, how terrifying would that be?
