MTS: Marvel and Beyond

Chapter 54: Energy Core

Boom!

The shockwave from the impact of their fall rippled outward, shaking the seabed's rock plates and causing the surrounding waters to tremble! The massive waves generated by this violent tremor engulfed the coastal areas, creating a man-made tsunami! A huge crater formed in the seabed rock where the two had fallen, now filled with seawater. But at the crater's center, a ten-meter-diameter spherical area remained dry, as if an invisible barrier was preventing the seawater from entering!

Within this ten-meter area, Alex pressed Ikaris's head into the rock!

With the power of the Reversal: "Red," energy absorption, and enhanced physical strength through cursed energy manipulation, Alex held Ikaris down. Even with a body stronger than the Hulk's, Ikaris could not break free.

Countless spatial slashes tore through the Eternal's armor and shredded Ikaris's superhuman body, stripping him of all his pride! Roaring in pain, Ikaris was pinned to the ground, unable to move like a mere insect.

Alex looked at Ikaris, whose body was continuously disintegrating and regenerating. He pondered silently.

Even with his newly obtained level 4 Limitless Technique, the powIkaris'se spatial slashes was still too weak, not solid enough. Against ordinary beings, it was fine, but against something as inhuman as an Eternal, though he could break through their defenses, the attack's strength was signiIkaris's reduced.

It would still take quite some time to kill Ikaris with spatial slashes alone.

Seeing Ikaris still struggling, Alex smiled. In Ikaris's anxious gaze, Alex changed his stance, pressing his foot down on Ikaris's head and making a gesture as if he were holding something with both hands.

With his left hand naturally open and his right hand crossed over it, in the ten-meter-diameter sphere under the sea, a deep blue black hole and a terrifying black-and-red singularity began to form, then collided!

As purple, lightning-like energy flashed, an imaginary mass formed slowly before Alex!

Seeing this purple sphere that could easily pierce his defense again, Ikaris's fear of death reached its peak!

He struggled mightily, firing golden cosmic energy beams from his eyes in a desperate attempt to counterattack, but all that energy was absorbed by Alex, turning into his own power!

When the struggle failed, Ikaris tried to threaten Alex, shouting, "Human, let me go! I bear the great mission given by Arishem, the Celestial Judge! If you kill me, you will be destroyed by the mighty Celestials!"

While controlling the formation of Hollow Purple, Alex mockingly replied:

"To maintain the population growth for harvesting humans as fuel for the Celestial in Earth's core, then destroy the planet?"

Ikaris was shocked, "How do you know that?"

Alex did not answer, as the terrifying purple sphere was nearly complete. Ikaris's fear soared again, and his mind flashed with the image of another Eternal, Sersi.

No, he had to return; he had to preserve his memories with Sersi!

He struggled with all his might again!

But it was too late. The purple imaginary mass was complete, and with a flick of Alex's fingers, the terrifying sphere shot towards Ikaris's head!

In Ikaris's terrified eyes, the sphere obliterated his head entirely, then continued downward, erasing everything in its path and creating a massive crater at the seabed!

Ikaris's head was entirely annihilated by Purple, a wound even an Eternal could not recover from. His life ended!

The strongest Eternal on Earth was killed under the ocean by the White-Haired Mutant!

Using gravity to control Ikaris's lifeless body, Alex floated it before him. A thumb-sized purple sphere formed in front of his index finger, which he used to slice through Ikaris's body carefully.

Slowly, a golden energy core emerged, still radiating immense power even after millions of years of use!

Excitement spread across Alex's face as he placed the energy core into his pocket dimension. Feeling the constant flow of cosmic energy from the pocket dimension, he smiled brightly.

Loki and Jane Foster's package hadn't arrived yet, but Ikaris delivered a gift first. What a considerate person!

Casually discarding Ikaris's body into the bottomless crater, Alex flew off towards the distance.

He remembered Tony had another oceanfront villa nearby...

...

On the helicarrier, Nick Fury and Coulson were silent.

They had seen everything that happened through the surveillance satellite feed.

The White-Haired Mutant emerged from the ocean unscathed, with no sign of Ikaris in sight.

The outcome was clear!

As the strongest warrior of the Eternals, who had been active since the dawn of human civilization, Ikaris was defeated and killed by the White-Haired Mutant!

Even more shocking was that the surveillance satellite clearly showed the White-Haired Mutant emerging from the water without a scratch, only a corner of his clothes slightly wet!

This meant the power gap between him and Ikaris was enormous, to the point of being overwhelming!

Nick Fury replayed the battle footage multiple times, finally pausing at the moment when the White-Haired Mutant burst out of the water!

"What happened to the White-Haired Mutant that allowed him to defeat Ikaris so overwhelmingly?"

Nick Fury couldn't stop asking himself this question, unable to comprehend.

After a few moments, Nick Fury regained his composure, but a sense of helplessness washed over him, even though he rarely felt that way!

Dealing with Ikaris would have been difficult enough, let alone the White-Haired Mutant...

But as the world's top agent, Nick Fury quickly adjusted his emotions and said to the equally stunned Coulson:

"Inform the Eternals that Ikaris has been killed by the White-Haired Mutant. Also, provide them with detailed information on the White-Haired Mutant, along with footage of his battle with Ikaris.

Even though the Eternals' strength has significantly declined with the loss of Ikaris, their abilities are unique. They might be able to pose a threat to the White-Haired Mutant, or even, by a slim chance, kill him!

Additionally, send a message to Dr. Reed Richards, requesting that he research more powerful spatial disruption devices and equipment to counteract the White-Haired Mutant's energy absorption ability.

Except for the funds necessary for base operations, allocate all other resources to Dr. Reed Richards for his research!

If that bastard has no weaknesses, we'll create some for him!"
