Chapter 326 A punch that Thanos could not dodge, blasting Vormir to pieces!
After all, to some extent, most of the combat techniques he uses now are actually 'learned' from Thanos!
Thanos's fighting techniques are really effective!
Moreover, his fighting style is particularly suited to a powerful fighter like him; it's practically a fighting technique tailor-made for him!
This is also why Toby didn't instantly kill Thanos, because he wanted to see if Thanos could also give him some new combat experience.
But seeing that Thanos's punches, though powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, were still similar to Thanos from another universe, Toby's initial interest in learning a couple more moves gradually faded.
So Toby, who had lost interest in learning, stopped being on the defensive and started to take the initiative!
And he even used Thanos's own techniques to retaliate against Thanos!
First, a Thanos-style, explosive short punch landed on Thanos's abdomen, the force of which sent Thanos flying backward like a cannonball!
Finally, it crashed into the ropes of the arena, which were made of infinite energy, before stopping. Then it bounced back and fell face-first into the dirt!
Thanos struggled to his feet, staring in disbelief at the armor that had burst open beneath that one-inch fist in his abdomen!
What kind of bizarre power is this?!
Keep in mind that even the Titans, one of the most powerful races in the universe, are not nearly as powerful as him!
Thanos looked up, staring intently at Toby, who had seemingly thrown a casual punch without even gathering his strength, his face grave.
"No, your power is wrong. You could never have been born with this irresistible power; it doesn't conform to the universe's law of power balance!"
"Who are you? What have you done?!"
Faced with Thanos's questioning, Toby gave him a deep look: "As expected of one of the others in this universe cursed by knowledge, you are indeed different from other mindless idiots..."
"However, precisely because of this, you deserve to die. You're like Batman; letting you know my information and allowing you to live would cause trouble I can't even imagine!"
"So... goodbye!"
As the last sentence fell, Toby's figure flickered and appeared in front of Thanos, the afterimage of him still lingering in the same spot!
In Thanos's eyes, Toby raised his fist at him, and it was... a fist that seemed as big as the entire sky pressing down on you!
This is why, in some movies, TV series, or anime, you might wonder why the protagonist, who clearly can't defeat the big boss, doesn't hide!
It's not that I don't want to hide, it's that I simply can't hide!
Thanos could only watch helplessly as Toby's fist fell, finally landing on his chest!
Without any pain, the moment Toby's fist touched Thanos's body, his nervous system didn't even have time to transmit the pain of collapse to his brain before Thanos exploded like fireworks!
This time, unless we use the Time Stone to turn back time, there's absolutely no way to save them!
Unfortunately, the Time Stone is in Toby's possession, so it's clear he can't resurrect Thanos.
Therefore, Thanos is destined to never be resurrected; he has returned as the king to exact his revenge...
With Toby retrieving the four iron rings inlaid with the Infinity Stones, it means that he has achieved another goal in this cosmic journey!
Killing Thanos was not only one of Toby's goals, but there was another person present who shared the same objective.
That was Gamora, whose race was half killed by Thanos, including her mother.
Looking at the fan-shaped spray of deep purple blood on the ground, Gamora's face showed little joy at having avenged her great grudge; instead, her heart was filled with confusion.
It was as if her life had suddenly lost its purpose...
Moreover, seeing Thanos, who raised her, end up as nothing more than a pool of blood, Gamora's feelings became somewhat complicated.
I even feel a little sorry for Thanos...
This is the complexity of human nature; even enemies can develop feelings after spending more than a decade together...
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Toby.
Thanos wasn't his father, so he didn't feel anything when he killed Thanos; he even felt a little amused.
After all, he has rid his universe of a major threat!
Thanos's idea of balancing the universe was correct, but his methods were wrong.
Eliminating half the population wouldn't make the other half's life better; the world would still be divided into different classes, and ordinary people would still only have access to a small fraction of the world's resources...
Even those who survive may become more extreme due to the loss of loved ones...
If Toby were to say that Thanos should have been more ruthless and wiped out all intelligent life in the universe, then Thanos should have done it!
Let the universe be left with only those life forms driven by instinct, so that the resources enjoyed by each life form can achieve a true balance!
Alternatively, we could use the power of the Infinity Stones to increase the resources in the universe, so that everyone could have more resources to use!
However, if Toby had to choose, he wouldn't pick either of them.
After all, both of these options are thankless and have their drawbacks.
Rather than eliminating life or increasing resources, Toby would prefer to conquer the universe directly and establish an absolutely 'fair' system himself.
But not now...
Toby shook his head, dismissing those thoughts.
Thanos just interrupted us; now it's time to continue with one of his most important goals: obtaining the Soul Stone!
"Ha, I've had a good show. Now it's time for the punishment!" Toby looked at the planet beneath his feet and sneered.
However, this time he did not use the right ten-ring again, intending to use it to blast the Soul Gem altar.
He had only intended to destroy the altar because he was waiting for Thanos to arrive; he had designated this planet as Thanos's final resting place.
Now that Thanos has arrived and been killed by himself, he no longer needs to hold back.
This time, he's going to go big!
That is... to blow up the entire planet!
Keep in mind that since he acquired the power to destroy planets, he has never actually blasted a single planet to pieces!
He's been itching to get his hands on it for ages!
Snap—
Toby snapped his fingers, and the iron ring inlaid with the Space Stone spun and expanded, forming a portal.
The other end of the portal leads to the interior of Temple II, which is suspended outside Vormir.
This is Thanos's mobile base, so large that it blots out the sky. Compared to it, Yondu's Marauder ship is like a mouse compared to an elephant!
He defeated Thanos and the Black Order, so this massive mobile space fortress naturally became his spoils of war!
Toby said calmly, "Let's go. This will be your new spaceship from now on. Gamora should be familiar with its structure. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."
As he spoke, he prepared to step into the portal.
The stunned crowd only came to their senses after Toby easily defeated Thanos, the man who could stop children from crying in the universe.
"Um... Captain, our belongings are still on the old Raider ship. How about we send some people to pilot it to the new ship's hangar for storage?"
Yondu was happy to be moving to a bigger and better new spaceship, but he was still a little reluctant to part with his old companion.
The other raiders, though not as sentimental as Yondu, did indeed have all their belongings on the old ship, so they nodded vigorously in agreement.
Rocket, looking disdainful, led Groot and walked gleefully into the portal to their new spaceship.
In its view, out with the old, in with the new—such a simple truth that even animals and trees understand, yet these brainless creatures don't!
How much is that junk worth? Enough to buy a few screws from Temple II?
However, not wasting resources is indeed a traditional virtue, so Toby didn't say much.
With a flick of his finger, he pinned a red dart to the Marauder ship.
The next moment, something amazing happened. In the blink of an eye, the originally huge raider spaceship shrank to the size of a toy spaceship!
Star-Lord exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow! The Captain's magic is truly amazing, one spell after another! It always blows our minds!"
As he spoke, Star-Lord walked up to the shrunken spaceship and effortlessly picked it up.
This further convinced Star-Lord that it was the effect of magic!
Not only has the size decreased, but the weight has also changed. Is this something that technology can achieve?
But Star-Lord will be disappointed, because this isn't magic at all, it's pure technology...
Toby said calmly, "This isn't magic; it's Earth's technology—Pym Particles."
Star-Lord was taken aback: "I've only been away from Earth for a little over a decade, and Earth has developed to this extent?"
"You'll see when you go back to Earth next time. It's changed more than you can imagine..." Toby shook his head, not explaining further to Star-Lord, and stepped into the portal, entering Sanctuary II in outer space.
After all, Earth's technology tree is very complex, and it can be quite advanced or rudimentary, making it difficult to explain.
So low-level that they can't even build the most basic spaceships for space travel, except for Wakanda; yet so high-level that they can create the Pym Particles, a cutting-edge technology that even cosmic empires that have long since achieved interstellar travel cannot produce...
It can only be said that their academic performance is severely unbalanced...
Where did Toby get the Pym Particles?
Do you remember the Pym Particles that Tobey sent Ant-Man to steal during the last Battle of New York?
Besides the amount of Pym particles that returned to another universe, Toby also left some behind for research.
After more than two years, the Pym Particles have long been deciphered by Tony and are now in mass production.
However, Pym Particles are so special that they haven't been released to the public yet and are only used within the Spider Family.
As the head of the spider family, he naturally carried several with him for emergencies.
For example, right now...
The spaceship was shrunk and held in Star-Lord's hand. Yondu and the others stopped dawdling and stepped into the portal one by one, entering Sanctuary II together.
After everyone had entered, Toby looked at Yondu and said, "Yondu, have your men remove all the 'strangers' from our new spaceship."
"Yes, Captain!" Upon hearing this, Yondu grinned and immediately understood who the 'stranger' Toby was talking about was!
They were Thanos's former crew members!
Toby didn't linger either. After retrieving the spatial ring, he blurred himself, passed through the top of the cabin, and arrived on the outer shell of Temple II.
"You like hiding inside planets, huh? We'll blow your shell off then, let's see how you hide then!"
Toby hovered above Temple Two, the power ring on his left arm slipped from his hand and landed in his palm. Then, the purple power ring began to spin wildly in his palm!
Finally, Toby charged up the Ring of Power into a raging torrent and aimed it at the colorful planet Vormir below!
Watch closely, this will be his most powerful blow to date!
