Chapter 1050: Chapter 814: The Fate of the Backdrop_3
Even the spiritual body form could no longer hold, reverting back into a body of flesh and blood.
The power of four gemstones, unified with the help of the Infinity Gauntlet, combined with Tao Yu’s own chaotic attributes, was wielded with the turn of a hand.
Thanos, who was already at a disadvantage, couldn’t withstand it at all, even with the Soul Gem’s power.
After reverting back to his flesh-and-blood form, black ant-like runes crawled out from the wound that ran through his body, binding him further.
Tao Yu, wielding the Thunder God’s Hamr, struck Thanos squarely on the head, leaving it buzzing. He then snatched Thanos’ Dual Blade and directly extracted the Soul Gem from it.

The Infinity Gauntlet, seemingly with a natural magnetic pull, held the gem securely in its rightful place.
This sight caused despair to flash across Thanos’ face, now completely strung up.
The pressure brought by the Abyss was imnse. Thanos had intended to use the six Infinity Stones to reverse the tide, but now five of them had fallen into the hands of the Abyss’ lackey.
Once the opponent gathered all six and introduced the power of the Infinity Stones into the Abyss,
the entire world would be finished!
“No!”
Thanos let out a desperate cry, only to be interrupted by another blow from the Thunder God’s Hamr wielded by Tao Yu.
“Enough whining! Crying like a child—what do you think you’re doing.”
As black runes covered Thanos’ entire body, Tao Yu casually spun his long spear and flung Thanos like a flash of light toward his spaceship.
The only difference being, Thanos had earlier erged in a spiritual form, ‘phasing’ through walls.
But now, under Tao Yu’s power, he was physically slamd ‘through’ the wall into his ship, rolling into his control room and collapsing beneath his throne.
The surroundings were a chaotic ss, with debris strewn everywhere around him.
Nearby, many of Thanos’ subordinates, as well as Nebula and Gamora, had witnessed everything with their own eyes.
Even with his abdon wounded and bound by black chains, Thanos’ sudden and dismal return was hard for them to accept.
The almighty Lord Thanos… had lost?
And lost in such a swift and humiliating manner!
Tao Yu leaped directly into Thanos’ ship, looking down at the tyrant who was struggling to rise, and casually said,
“That’s enough. I am not a servant of the Abyss.”
“Impossible! I could never mistake that aura emanating from your body.”
Thanos’ face was filled with disbelief.
“You should also recognize both the imnse strength and chaos of the Abyss. I rely borrowed part of its power. Do you think, now that I have five gemstones, I still need to lie to you?”
Tao Yu’s words gradually cooled the seething rage within Thanos.
Indeed, with Tao Yu in his current state, there was no reason to deceive him…

Outside, the massive spaceship bore a gaping breach patched hastily with temporary repairs. It departed this chaotic planet, now floating in the star system where Sandaar was located.
At this mont, a large fleet of Nova Corps ships had already arrived, positioned in high orbit in a defensive stance.
Though these ships were negligible in comparison to the size of the raging planet below, they created an imposing golden force field when combined, blocking Thanos’ vessel.
Thanos’ infamous na echoed across the starry sky.
His abrupt arrival, even without landing on Sandaar, warranted their full attention.
“State your purpose!”
A stern voice demanded over the communication link.
“Oh, don’t worry, it’s .”
Tao Yu opened the communication channel, revealing his face.
Thanos, now back to his ‘giant purple raisin’ form, stood silently beside Tao Yu.
“Asgardian…”
Seeing Tao Yu again, the Nova Corps felt an instant headache.
How had the two ended up working together?
“I invited Thanos here. We have business to discuss, so we chose this star system instead of Sandaar.”
Tao Yu offered a brief explanation.
Though perfunctory, it gave the Nova Corps a way to back down gracefully.
Neither the Asgardians nor Thanos were forces to provoke lightly!
Still negotiating peace with the Kreeans, they couldn’t afford surprises.
“Fine, but please, notify us earlier if such things happen again.”
“Sure.”
Tao Yu smiled placidly, waved dismissively, and cut the communication.
This elicited a scoff from Thanos, who coldly remarked,
“Why waste ti explaining to them? The Nova Corps is nothing special.”
“It’s called courtesy.”
Tao Yu gave the purple giant a side-eye, silencing this would-be savior of the universe.
“By the way, when did you first learn of the Abyss’ invasion? You haven’t had much contact with the Abyss, have you?”
Tao Yu found it strange; he sensed no Abyss Pollution from Thanos.
With Thanos’ personality, it would make sense for him to explore the Abyss on his own if he discovered it.
Even the Ancient One couldn’t resist.
“I never directly encountered the Abyss, but I received a prophecy from ‘Death’ in a dream. It showed the Abyss’ aura, hence my recognition. But now Death has been imprisoned by ‘Eternity,’ and the Abyss Plane has already fallen…”
Thanos’ revelation left Tao Yu’s scalp tingling. His ntion of the ‘Abyss Plane’s fall’ clearly indicated a deeper understanding of the Abyss.
Thanos wouldn’t have managed this alone, so it likely originated from ‘Death’!
Why are such things constantly surfacing now?
