Chapter 336: Sister Swallow: “Dad?” (Ch 336)

“Boom!”
The roar of the huge explosion echoed in every inch of space in the dark quadrant, continuously.
Thanos’ powerful punch not only penetrated Rango through the entire dark quadrant, but also released a raging shock wave with the amplification of the Power Stone, instantly dismembering the planetary castle into countless debris, which floated in the space and turned into pieces of cold space junk.
At the same time, Ebony Maw and others had already jumped into the spaceship swiftly and escaped from the disaster scene; those soldiers who failed to board the ship in time were unfortunately exposed to the vacuum and instantly solidified into ice sculptures.
Witnessing this scene, Thanos frowned slightly.
This was the first time he had fully activated the power gem, and he didn’t expect the effect to be so shocking.
If I had known this would happen, I should have held back a bit…
Looking at the dark quadrant that has become a ruin, even a calm and rational being like Thanos couldn’t help but feel a trace of pain.
“It’s over!”
In the Land of Nothingness, Collector Tivon witnessed Rango’s tragedy and started packing his luggage without saying a word.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”
He anxiously shouted to Thor and Yumi who were still standing there, “My spaceship is equipped with a jump engine. It is parked at the exit and can open a wormhole to escape instantly. Don’t hesitate any longer. Saving your life is the most important thing!”
Typhon hurriedly took the collection into his arms while urging Thor and Yumi.
Although this guy is a little greedy, he is not that bad. Even at this time, he still remembered to call Thor and Yumi to escape together.
Of course, it is unknown whether he wanted to trick them into becoming bodyguards.
“How did you manage to amass such a huge fortune when you are so timid?” Yumi rolled her eyes speechlessly and said unhappily, “The master is still alive and well, why are you running away?”
“I was being cautious! Wait?” Tiphon was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly asked in surprise, “Are you saying that Rango is still alive?”
boom–!
In space, a meteor-like figure streaked across the sky, answering Typhon’s question.
Rango, who was smashed through the Dark Quadrant alive, miraculously reappeared in the projection.
At this moment, the dark gold armor on his chest was clearly marked with deep marks left by Thanos’ heavy punch.
But in the eyes of Thor and the others, the armor was repairing itself at an astonishing speed. The magical power of the eighth metal made it look brand new in just a few breaths.
“call…….”
Rango slowly exhaled a breath, his eyes fixed on Thanos in front of him, with an unprecedented fear in his eyes.
Although he had expected that the Power Stone would greatly enhance Thanos’ strength, he did not expect it to be enhanced to such a terrifying extent.
He didn’t even have a chance to wrestle before he was knocked away by a punch.
In all the battles he had experienced, this was the first time he was crushed by someone in terms of strength.
“You bastard…”
Rango looked at the purple potato head who was twice his size, with an infinite glove in his left hand and a double-edged sword in his right hand.
After squinting his eyes, he stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand. The battle axe drew a smooth arc in the air, then he accelerated at full speed and rushed towards Thanos.
Although Thanos’ punch just now was powerful enough to shatter a star, Rango, who was hit by it, discovered that his armor and weapons made of the eighth metal actually had a powerful feature that he didn’t know about.
At this time, facing the returning Rango, Thanos’ eyes moved slightly, and he was obviously a little surprised.
“Is this guy really from Earth?”
Before he could think any more, Rango’s axe chopped down like a storm.
Thanos sneered and raised his fists to prepare for a hard fight.
At the same time, the double-edged sword in his right hand was across his waist, ready to cut Rango into two pieces in an instant once he entered the attack range.
However, when the Infinity Gauntlet collided with Rango’s axe blade, the calmness on Thanos’ face was instantly replaced by astonishment.
“This is?”
Bang–!
The purple light of the Power Stone suddenly burst out on the axe blade, and then Thanos was unexpectedly chopped away by the axe, crashing through a battleship in the distance before he barely stopped.
One of the abilities of the eighth metal is to absorb and release the power exerted by the enemy!
Rango did not hesitate. He gripped the battle axe tightly with both hands and his figure drew a straight blue trajectory in the dark space. When he appeared again, the axe blade was pointing directly at Thanos who was lying at the bottom of the battleship cabin, and with a whistling sound, he went straight for the guy’s head.
Thanos snorted coldly. With his combat intelligence, he understood the reason in an instant. So, he did not continue to control the Power Stone to fight, but also wielded the weapon in his hand.
The double-edged sword danced, blocking Rango’s swift attack. The two clashed, sparks flew, and the loud sound of metal collision echoed in the silent warship.
Rango was not willing to be outdone. He turned his body, and his battle axe drew a perfect arc in the air, slashing towards Thanos’ waist with overwhelming force.
Thanos turned slightly to the side, and swung his sword down, colliding with the battle axe again, releasing an astonishing energy impact.
As the battle progressed, both Rango and Thanos demonstrated extraordinary fighting skills and strength.
Rango’s battle axe was like lightning in a storm, fast and fierce, and every attack was aimed at finding Thanos’ flaws. But Thanos responded with a steady pace, and the double-edged sword seemed to have life in his hands. Every swing was precise and powerful, defusing Rango’s offensive one by one.
The two forces watching the battle from the outside were completely unable to capture the details of the battle between Rango and Thanos at this moment. They could only feel the thrill of this battle through the continuous rumbling noises and the energy shock waves that penetrated the warships and hit the space.
But what shocked them more was Thanos who was in close combat with Rango.
As a member of the Eternals, Thanos is confident that even without the help of the Power Stone, his strength, speed and control over space energy are enough to rank among the top in the universe.
But in the battle with Rango, he unexpectedly fell into a stalemate. If it weren’t for his richer fighting skills and experience, he would have been defeated long ago.
“Buzz——!”
At the critical moment, Rango saw that he had been attacking for a long time without success and decided to adopt a new strategy.
At the moment the two weapons collided, his eyes suddenly lit up, and two blazing rays of light shot out like lasers, accurately hitting Thanos’ heart!
But Thanos was worthy of his identity as an Eternal. Instead of hiding, he resisted with his body. Wherever his heat vision touched, only faint burn marks were left before disappearing.
Rango cursed inwardly upon seeing this, and then increased the intensity of his thermal vision.
Instantly, the color of the originally blood-red heat vision began to change, and the temperature of the entire cabin also rose sharply, as if it were in a furnace. The surrounding alloy machinery quickly melted under the high temperature and turned into pools of molten iron.
A trace of pain finally flashed across Thanos’s stiff face. Even he could not completely withstand Rango’s attack.
So he mobilized the power of the gem again.
On the Infinity Glove, the power gem shone purple, and countless energy torrents gushed out from behind it, all bombarding Rango!
It was like a gorgeous purple firework in the universe, but it contained a terrifying force that was enough to destroy everything, forcing Rango to retreat again and again.
Although part of the energy was absorbed by the eighth metal in Rango’s body, the remaining impact force still made him feel as if his body was falling apart, and he felt severe pain in all his internal organs.
“Fuck!”
Rango roared angrily, and a blue flame suddenly burned on his fist, and the atomic fist condensed into shape.
With the help of the enchanted effect of the battle axe, he swung the axe, and instantly a huge blue mushroom cloud exploded with the two of them as the center.
The surrounding warships were directly vaporized and turned into nothingness under the power of this nuclear explosion.
But Thanos, who was hit head-on by the nuclear explosion, was unharmed. A purple energy barrier that tightly wrapped him completely neutralized all of Rango’s attacks.
Taking advantage of the gap after Rango released his attack, he quickly controlled the power gem to attack Rango again.
The space became a battlefield for the two, and the battle became more and more intense. The confrontation between the two had exceeded the limitations of the laws of physics. Every time they collided, the surrounding meteorites were instantly shattered, and the space seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, leaving behind shocking cracks.
As for those warships that were unfortunately caught up in the battle, no matter how advanced their technological structures were, they were as fragile as tofu in the face of this force. They would collapse at the slightest touch and turn into dust in the void.
“Fuck you! You think you’re the only one with the magic weapon?”
Rango was repeatedly washed by the energy torrent released by the power gem. Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore. He retreated violently, opened up a safe distance, and suddenly pulled out a revolver from his armor!
He skillfully pulled the safety and blew gently at the muzzle of the gun. In an instant, a deep blue light burst out from the gun.
“You should also let me have a taste of what it feels like to be beaten and run away!”
Aiming at Thanos in the distance, Rango pulled the trigger without hesitation!
At the same time, an unprecedented sense of crisis pierced Thanos’ heart like ice.
“This gun…”
Thanos’ pupils suddenly shrank, and he instantly mobilized the power of the Power Stone, transforming it into a powerful energy shock wave, heading towards the oncoming blue bullet.
Under the gaze of Thor and others, the sky of the void seemed to crack open a huge purple mouth, and destructive energy rushed into the seemingly tiny blue bullet, as if to completely annihilate it into a molecular state.
But the development of the situation was beyond everyone’s expectations!
The revolver bullet seemed to ignore all impacts, and its speed increased instead of decreasing. It actually passed directly through the overwhelming torrent of energy, accurately locked onto Thanos’ direction, and whizzed out, unstoppable!
“How is that possible?”
Thanos frowned in shock. In the distance, Rango’s teasing voice came at the right time, “Run away quickly, buddy. My bullets will hit you with one shot, and they will also kill you with one shot. Unless you jump up and down and left and right a few times to see if you can get thirty lives for nothing, otherwise, you’d better wait to die.”
“……..”
Thanos narrowed his eyes, staring at the bullet getting closer and closer to him, and suddenly a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “One shot will hit the target? Then let’s wait and see when it can hit me!”
Tear——!
He raised his left hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet and waved it fiercely towards the void. The power gem shone brightly, and the space seemed to be torn open by him. A micro wormhole was formed in an instant under his incredible power!
“call out–!”
The bullet was swallowed by the sudden wormhole, and just when everyone thought it would change direction, the wormhole disappeared without a trace in an instant.
This bullet that could kill with one shot was actually exiled to another unknown space by Thanos using a wormhole!
“This…..this is even possible?!”
Rango was dumbfounded. Even if Thanos cut off his arm and turned it into a clone to block the bullet, he could accept it. But this guy actually blasted a wormhole and sent the bullet to a corner of the universe…
“It will always hunt you like this.”
Rango smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying, “I think you may never be able to sleep peacefully again in the future. Maybe a year later, or maybe the next second, this bullet will always locate you in the universe and launch an endless pursuit of you.”
“Haha.” Thanos sneered indifferently: “When I have completed my mission, perhaps I will destroy myself before waiting for this bullet to arrive. But before that, I will never let it succeed.”
Rango nodded slightly, and the look he gave Thanos had lost its previous playfulness and mockery, replaced by a solemnity.
Even without the power gem, this guy can be on equal terms with me just by virtue of his Eternal talent and rich combat experience. And the other party just showed the terrifying power of punching out a wormhole…
What the hell, the movies are all lies.
That guy Steve was able to fight with such a Thanos. Is he kidding me?
“The fun is over, Earthling.”
Ba held up the Infinity Gauntlet, and the purple light stimulated by the Power Stone wrapped around his arm like a snake, preparing to give Rango a fatal blow.
“Your end has come…”
“call out–!”
Thanos, who was gathering strength, suddenly saw a blur in front of his eyes. He saw a blue meteor streaking across the sky, and Rango’s figure disappeared in the distance.
This guy…actually ran away?!
The land of nothingness.
Rango hurried to Thor and the others, carrying Miles, whom he found in space.
Without further explanation, he quickly put on the ring and opened a portal to Earth.
“I miscalculated. This Purple Potato Head is much stronger than I thought. Let’s retreat first, or bring Quicksilver here and fight this guy again.”
“Quicksilver? Can that guy defeat Thanos?” Thor asked puzzledly.
“With him here, we don’t have to fight so hard.”
Rango sighed. Although it was a bit shameful to flee without a fight, as a summoner, strictly speaking, it was an irrational choice to personally engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
After comforting himself, he signaled Thor and Miles to follow, and winked at Yumi, preparing to evacuate. But just as he was about to step into the portal, the Collector Typhon suddenly shouted, “Wait, wait!”
Typhon grabbed Rango’s arm tightly and said anxiously, “I… I have a way to deal with the Power Stone! Just now, when I saw you fighting, an idea suddenly occurred to me.”
“Okay, buddy, come with us. I’m not the kind of person who would just watch someone in trouble and not help. Oh, and take the Reality Stone with you, too.”
Rango thought that Tiphon was worried about being abandoned, so he agreed casually.
But Typhon held him tightly and handed him a palm-sized metal container: “Use this, you will definitely be able to deal with the Infinity Stones!”
“What is this? Damn, you want me to use a roundworm to deal with the Power Stone?!” Rango widened his eyes, speechless.
In Typhon’s hand was the container containing the tapeworm inside Galactus.
“It’s not a roundworm, it’s a tapeworm, and it’s a cosmic tapeworm! It was bred from the stomach of Galactus.”
Typhon hurriedly explained, “The Power Stone can control all the energy in the universe, and Galactus feeds on energy. This tapeworm may be able to devour the power of the Power Stone. In this way, can’t you defeat Thanos?”
Rango took the metal container, glanced at it quickly, and finally shook his head: “No, what if this bug is as powerful as you said, and it swallows us up as soon as it comes out?”
“…..Uh, that makes sense.”
Tiphon was originally full of confidence, but now he seemed a little wilted.
But Rango immediately changed the subject: “However, there’s no harm in trying. At worst, we can just get out of here and let Thanos deal with this tapeworm.”
After saying that, he casually threw the can into the air, swung his battle axe, and a sharp silver light cut through the air. The can made of rare alloy cracked into two.
Everyone quickly stepped back, nervously watching something slowly falling from the can – a purple tapeworm suspended in mid-air.
“Fuck, it really is a bug.”
Rango took a few steps back in disgust, only to see that the tapeworm seemed to have lost its life, hanging shriveled in the air, neither moving nor making any sound.
“We need energy to wake it up.” Typhon hid behind Rango and explained carefully, “This guy might have fainted from hunger.”
“I still have to feed it first? How do I feed it?”
Rango wanted to ask a few more questions, but the aura of Thanos overhead was getting closer and closer, and it was estimated that it would arrive in ten seconds.
He didn’t care about anything else and walked straight forward, grabbing the tapeworm. His blue fist was then activated, and streams of energy that he used to advance the progress bar poured out and were injected into the body of the little thing.
Seeing the energy he had accumulated with great difficulty reduced to half in an instant, his eyes twitched with pain.
If this little gadget can’t deal with the Infinity Gems, then he will really suffer a heavy loss this time.
Buzz——
The next second, a purple light suddenly burst out from the tapeworm, and then the color began to slowly change, and finally turned into the same dark blue light as Rango’s blue fist.
In Rango’s vision, the tapeworm underwent incredible changes: it began to stretch, expand, and condense, and finally… it turned into the appearance of a girl!
“Watfa…”
Rango was so shocked that he involuntarily let go of his hand and took a few steps back.
It was clearly a worm just now…
The blue light quickly dissipated, and in a flash, an exquisite little girl who seemed to have walked out of a comic book appeared in front of them.
She looked around first, then fixed her eyes on Rango, and felt the familiar energy aura from him.
She immediately trotted over with her arms outstretched, and excitedly shouted to Rango, “Dad!”
“…….”
