Great Space Annihilation

"Life aura?"

Xiao Hen tilted his head and sensed it. From the barrier before the old man, he detected an aura of life—not the faint life aura possessed by humans on Earth, but a portion of the life aura of the entire Solar System, even the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and the universe itself.

"Using the naturally existing life aura of the universe for protection? I wonder how many times you can borrow it."

Xiao Hen’s expression turned icy as he raised his hand again. "Enhance! Divine Energy Impact!"

A Divine Energy Impact even more explosive, fiercer, and more terrifying than before erupted. A dazzling beam of light pierced through the entire Solar System and blasted through more than half the Orion Arm. The entire galaxy once again felt this terrifying fluctuation.

Hundreds of star systems in the Orion Arm were affected by this dreadful power. Countless disasters broke out across their planets, and the aftermath of the battle had already swept through the entire Orion Arm. As for the Solar System?

The current Solar System, aside from the central sun, had seen every other planet hurled away from its original orbit. Earth itself had begun to fracture. Humanity on Earth, whether Superheroes or mutants, had all suffered devastating blows, let alone ordinary humans. Ordinary humans had essentially been wiped out. Among the Superheroes, only a handful such as Hulk and Thor had survived. Having been knocked off its orbital path, Earth had fallen into a dark age of extinction. If it could hold out and avoid exploding in the time ahead, it would still enter an ice age after leaving the sun’s orbit, becoming a frozen planet drifting through the universe.

The other major planets, gaseous planets like Jupiter, had already been blown apart by the terrifying impact. Countless gases such as hydrogen and methane exploded outward, dispersing through outer space.

The sun at the core began to undergo violent changes. Its fusion reactions became highly unstable, its core temperature continuously rose, and the entire sun grew even hotter, radiating a dangerous white light.

"How many lives died beneath that strike? How innocent the universe is…" the old man sighed. Yet facing an enemy as powerful as Xiao Hen, he had no way to save those lives that had perished.

"Life Guardian!" The old man summoned another barrier to shield himself from the attack. However, Xiao Hen’s Divine Energy Impact this time consumed more Divine Power and was far more powerful. He could only barely block the blow, his face flushing slightly before he spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, he had suffered serious injuries.

"This old bastard really can’t take a beating. He’s coughing up blood already?" Thanos watched from the side. Such a terrifying impact could inflict tremendous damage on him as well, but since he was not resisting it head-on and was only fending off the aftershocks, he had not been injured.

"Guardians of the Galaxy!" Xiao Hen let his hands hang at his sides and looked up at the blood-spitting old man. "Are you still determined to stop me?"

"Death is nothing!" The old man stared unwaveringly at Xiao Hen, his eyes filled with love for the life of the universe.

"Stubborn fool!"

Xiao Hen snorted coldly. Four Infinity Stones floated around him. He was preparing to launch his final attack, using the power of the Infinity Stones to kill this old man. Then, naturally, he would eliminate Thanos and complete the gathering of the Six Great Gems.

"Young man, stop! Listen to my advice!" the old man continued. "Give up collecting the Infinity Stones! They are not something you can possess!"

"Then die!" Xiao Hen shook his head. Since the other party still insisted on stopping him, there was no need to show mercy!

"Great Space Annihilation!"

The Space Stone flashed, and Xiao Hen’s control over space instantly increased countless times. The space occupied by the old man immediately began to crackle, then shattered with a thunderous crash beneath Xiao Hen’s outstretched, clenched hand!

"Life Guardian!"

The old man let out a low roar. The green barrier before him blazed brilliantly, desperately resisting the terrifying destructive force brought by the collapse of space.

"Time, stop! Time Acceleration!"

The green barrier before the old man immediately slowed in its expansion, while the speed of space’s annihilation instead accelerated.

"Mind, silence!"

The power of the Mind Stone activated. The old man felt his heart jolt, and then heaven and earth changed. The entire universe became incomparably desolate, as though it had entered its final era, as though all existence had fallen into death. Sorrow welled uncontrollably within him.

"Power Stone, infinite energy!"

Xiao Hen shouted, and endless energy poured from the Power Stone, transforming into terrifying force of spatial annihilation. The space spanning millions of kilometers around the old man crackled, then collapsed into annihilation. This was not mere shattering, but annihilation. The entire space simply ceased to exist.

Compared to the previous spatial shattering, which was merely like breaking a mirror, this was like grinding that mirror into dust. The fate of the old man at the very center of that space was obvious.

"Ah…"

After a low cry of agony, the old man and the green barrier around him vanished without a trace.

"Hmph! He died cleanly enough." Xiao Hen coldly watched that annihilated patch of space. The universe itself was continuously repairing it, but that destroyed region was extremely difficult to restore. The annihilation of millions of kilometers of space was like carving a chunk of flesh from the universe. It would not be easy for the universe to repair it, and who knew how many years it would take for the wound to heal.

"What a terrifying attack!" Thanos appeared in the distance, staring solemnly at that void as he tightly clenched his left hand. Those two Infinity Stones were his final trump cards.

"But the Infinity Stones can only belong to me. Such terrifying power is only right in the hands of Thanos! No one else—absolutely no one!"

Thanos’s eyes gleamed as he raised his left hand and shouted, "Soul and reality, intertwine!" Thanos vanished in an instant.

Boom…

With an enormous roar, a terrifying figure appeared in the void of the universe. It bore Thanos’s appearance, but its body had grown ten thousand meters tall.

This was a ten-thousand-meter-tall Thanos. Giant Thanos opened his terrifying eyes, looked at Xiao Hen, roared, and threw a punch.

"What is this?" Xiao Hen looked carefully. With a sweep of his gaze, he understood how this giant Thanos had come into being.

Using the Soul Stone to strengthen his own soul, allowing him to control the enormous body created by the Reality Stone?

The larger the body, the greater the power it could contain. The energy within this body had already surpassed that of the sun. Its instantaneous explosive force was no weaker than the Divine Energy Impact and Great Space Annihilation from before!

"Thanos, I didn’t expect you to have such a trump card!" Xiao Hen laughed loudly. Then he charged forward, advancing instead of retreating. He rushed before Thanos, raised his hand, and collided head-on with Giant Thanos’s terrifying punch.
