Let me show you a new way Chapter 122

Everything happened so suddenly.

One moment, the flight attendant was gently reminding people that the plane was about to land, patiently telling them to stow their belongings, straighten their seatbacks, fold up their tray tables, etc., and then meticulously checking each person.

The next moment, the accident occurred.

The plane suddenly shook violently, and the flight attendant, who was walking, was thrown into the air, slammed hard against the cabin ceiling, and then fell back down.

She could feel the pain in her internal organs, but she still struggled to stand up and walked to the front of the cabin, quickly checking everyone’s seats as she went, making sure their seatbelts were fastened.

Then, she reached the front, picked up the intercom, and the plane shook again, oxygen masks dropping from above people’s heads. She leaned against the wall, buckled her own seatbelt, and repeatedly instructed the passengers: “Please fasten your seatbelts and assume the brace position, head down and leaning forward, head down and leaning forward!”

Then came a loud bang!

The plane shook once more, and people screamed in despair; one of the engines outside the cabin had completely lost power.

It felt like a dead end.

Like there was no hope left.

The plane had completely lost balance and was plummeting towards the ground at high speed. No matter how hard the two pilots tried, they couldn’t correct the dive.

The next moment, hope arrived.

Passengers in the cabin saw an intense blue light. Even with the window shades, the light couldn’t be blocked. The sorrow, despair, and fear in people’s hearts seemed to be washed away by this ocean-like blue light. Their emotions stabilized, and hope returned to their hearts.

Faintly, they heard a gentle, yet firm voice.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine!”

Blue light enveloped the entire cabin. People bathed in the blue light, and vaguely, they seemed to see an angel.

Outside the window, a blue-green figure extended a strong light from their hand, slowly coalescing into two baseball mitts, gently cradling the plane.

“Stabilize for me!” Steve gritted his teeth, desperately supporting the plane and trying to minimize damage to its fuselage.

With Steve’s gradual correction, the plane finally stopped its dive and slowly stabilized.

“Control Tower, this is China Southern 255, where is the emergency landing airport?” Harold said into the communicator. The area in front of him was enveloped in green light, but the light left a clear space for him to see.

“China Southern 255, this is Control Tower, the airport is 1.3 miles ahead.”

“We can’t make it there…” Harold looked up slightly at the blue-green speck of light floating high in the sky.

“The plane has completely lost power, both engines are damaged, we must make an emergency landing immediately.”

“No landing ahead, repeat, no landing ahead!” the Control Tower immediately said. Not far in front of them was an uneven road; the plane’s landing gear would be shredded the moment it touched the ground.

“You can land!” a voice echoed through the communicator.

“I will create a stable blue landing strip ahead. You control the plane’s angle, understand?” The voice resonated in the cabin. Although Harold didn’t know who it was, he nodded.

“Understood!” He took a few deep breaths, staring intently ahead.

The next moment, blue light descended from the sky.

The light quickly solidified, like Lego bricks piecing together, transforming the uneven road into a runway.

It was like a miracle.

Harold concentrated on controlling the plane. The landing gear slowly touched the runway, the plane vibrated, then slowly moved along the runway, gradually decelerating.

Finally, the plane came to a stop.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly withdrew the light runway from beneath the plane, letting it thin out little by little, finally gently setting the plane on the ground. Then he descended from high in the sky, tore open the plane’s door, and entered the interior.

“Is everyone alright!” He looked at the people present, faint blue-green light shimmering around him. Hope and will merged so perfectly, so harmoniously, on his being.

“Alright, I hope this doesn’t make you afraid to fly, because statistically, flying is still the safest way to travel.”

The passengers looked at the glowing figure, too astonished to speak. They just stared at him, mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.

“Who are you? Are you an angel?” a child asked softly, looking at him.

“No!” Steve shook his head.

“You can call me Captain!”

“Oh my god! Are you Steve Rogers?” a middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes!” Steve smiled, relieved to see the passengers unharmed.

Then he stepped out of the cabin door. In the distance, countless people had already gathered, drawn by the commotion. They pulled out their phones, cameras, or other recording devices, desperately taking pictures.

They shouted, cheered, clapped their hands, screaming for his perfect rescue.

Steve looked at the joyful faces of the people, a perfect smile on his lips. Then his body lit up with light and he floated into the air. He waved to the people, then ascended, flying towards the distance, leaving a dazzling trail in the sky.

People cheered, looking at Steve Rogers in the sky, as if everything was so beautiful. As if everything was filled with hope.

————————

“Ego… Is that your name?” A deep voice rang out.

This was a giant planet, covered with countless beautiful plants. They bloomed with exquisite flowers, and faint glowing dust scattered, looking so beautiful, so lovely.

It was like paradise here.

But high above, a tall grey figure sat on a stone chair, his eyes filled with indifference.

“No answer?” Thanos gazed at the core of the star. He saw it, the incredibly powerful psychic energy at its center. It was the immense power of a planet.

Thanos took out a small purple seed. Within that seed, there was a power originating from the same source as this planet.

“I found this seed on a certain planet. I analyzed its function and followed its resonance to find its main body.” No emotion was visible on Thanos’s grey face, but his eyes slowly lit up.

“It seems you don’t want to talk to me… Alright!”

“Boom—” A powerful dark red beam of light shot from Thanos’s eyes, instantly piercing the ground and continuing to fly deep into the planet’s core. The planet seemed to sense something and began to vibrate rapidly. Shields made of planetary material blocked its path one by one, but the dark red Omega Beam seemed to have a will of its own, turning and dodging the shields.

“Roar—” The planet roared like a living being. Deep within its core, countless materials began to accumulate around the brain of the core, forming a hard, thick fortress to block the incoming ray.

Finally…

The Omega Beam collided with the planetary material.

A massive explosion erupted deep within the planet. The planet roared again. Although its shields were hard and thick enough, a trace of power still leaked through, striking Ego’s fragile brain core.

Ego, a living planet, a Celestial who had lived for countless years, capable of controlling matter.

And at the core of the planet was Ego’s true body, his most vulnerable point.

Light appeared in the void. The light slowly extended, gradually materializing into a man wearing a red leather jacket.

“Thanos! What do you want?” Ego’s avatar floated in the air, shouting furiously at Thanos.

“What do I want?” Thanos rested his head on one hand, his cold gaze lingering on Ego’s avatar.

“That question should be asked by me…” Thanos squeezed the purple seed in his hand and slowly stood up from the chair. “You’ve planted these seeds on countless planets. What do you intend to do?”

Ego let out a sneer. While talking to Thanos, he had constructed even stronger and thicker shields deep within the core, just to block the inexplicable ray from Thanos’s eyes.

“No answer, huh?” Thanos examined the seed in his hand, then squeezed it hard. The purple seed immediately burst open, purple fluid spurting from between his fingers, looking quite disgusting.

“Let me guess, this seed must be another differentiated form you’ve created. You want to spread this differentiated form throughout the universe, assimilating all living beings, so that you possess truly invincible power.” Thanos slowly stated, then looked up, red light once again glowing in his eyes.

“You want to destroy this universe!”

“And I am here to stop you!”

Red light, shot forth…
