Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 275 Using His Ultimate Move!
Before he finished speaking, Mordin had already vanished from his spot. His speed was astonishing; he leaped over several platforms in the blink of an eye and appeared beside Thor.

"Wind Blade Cross Slash!"

Mordin drew a cross in the air with his hands, and two sharp wind blades instantly formed, hurtling towards Thor in a cross shape. The wind blades were colorless and formless, their trajectories barely discernible from the distortion of the air.

Thor reacted with lightning speed, unleashing a horizontal sweep of his Thunder Blade, its blade crackling with electricity, shouting, "Thunder Strike!"

The blade collided with the wind blade, unleashing a piercing metallic clang. The wind blade shattered, dispersing into countless tiny streams of air. However, Thor was also forced back several steps by the recoil, nearly losing his footing on the edge of the platform.

“Not bad,” Mordin’s voice came from another direction as he moved again, appearing behind Thor. “But this is just a warm-up.”

He clasped his hands together, then suddenly separated them, shouting, "Thousand Blades of Wind!"

Countless tiny wind blades suddenly formed in the air, attacking Thor from all directions. The sheer number and the unpredictable angles of these wind blades left him almost no room to dodge.

Thor knew he couldn't block them all, so he immediately decided to change his strategy. He leaped into the air, simultaneously plunging his Thunder Blade into the ground, shouting, "Thunder Shield!"

A bolt of lightning rapidly spread from the blade, forming a hemispherical electric barrier around Thor. The wind blades struck the barrier, most of them deflected or dissipated, but some still managed to break through the defense, leaving several bloody gashes on Thor's body.

“Your defense is good,” Mordin moved again, this time stopping on a more distant platform, “but against absolute speed, any defense has a weakness.”

His voice had barely faded when he vanished again, leaving only a green afterimage. The next second, Thor felt a sharp pain in his back. Mordin had somehow circled behind him and struck him directly in the back with a wind blade.

"Ugh!" Thor groaned, staggering a few steps, but quickly regained his balance. He turned around, only to find that Mordin had vanished again, leaving only the echoes of his voice around him:

"The name 'Windrunner' is not just for show."

In the audience, Luo Wen, Luo Feng, and Hong Zheng nervously observed the battle.

“Moding is too fast,” Luo Feng said worriedly. “Thor can barely keep up with his movements.”

Rowan nodded. "The greatest characteristic of the Wind Law is speed and agility. Mordin has taken this to the extreme, and coupled with this multi-platform arena design, it's very disadvantageous for Thor."

Hong was as concise as ever: "He needs to find a way to restrict Modin's movement."

In the arena, Thor was indeed on the defensive. Mordin's attacks were relentless, raining down attacks from different angles each time, making them impossible to defend against. Thor's wounds multiplied, and his combat suit was already soaked in blood.

But Thor showed no sign of discouragement. On the contrary, his gaze became more and more focused, as if he were searching for some kind of pattern.

“Interesting,” Mordin noticed the change in Thor’s expression. “Looks like you’ve discovered something.”

Thor grinned. "Windrunner certainly lives up to her name, but," he suddenly raised his Thunder Blade high, "I'm no pushover either! Spread the lightning net!"

The blue crystal on the Thunder Blade suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and countless tiny electric currents shot out from the blade, forming a dense electric net in the air that covered the area of ​​several surrounding platforms.

Mordin was moving at high speed when, caught off guard, he crashed headfirst into the electric grid. Although he managed to change direction at the last second, he was still struck by several electric currents, cried out in pain, and fell from the air onto a lower platform.

"Found you!" Thor seized the opportunity, leaping forward and charging straight at Mordin with his Thunder Blade in hand. "Thunder Slash!"

Mordin swiftly dodged, but Thor's attack was equally fast; the Thunder Blade grazed Mordin's shoulder, leaving a deep wound. Blood immediately stained Mordin's combat suit.

“Not bad counterattack,” Modin said, leaping to another platform to create some distance. “It seems you possess not only brute strength but also intelligence.”

Thor sheathed his sword and stood still. "Thank you for the compliment. However, this is just the beginning."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers; the intensity of the battle far exceeded expectations.

Luo Feng exclaimed excitedly, "Thor is so clever! He used a lightning net to restrict Mordin's movement!"

Rowan nodded. "He noticed a pattern in Mordin's movements. Although Windrunner is incredibly fast, his path isn't entirely random; it follows an optimal route. Thor grasped this and successfully predicted his location."

Hong rarely showed a hint of approval. "But it will be even more difficult from here on out. Modin won't make the same mistake again."

On the field, the situation did indeed begin to change. Mordin became more cautious, no longer blindly relying on his speed advantage, but instead began to use a wider variety of wind-based skills.

"The Realm of Wind, Begin."

A pale green energy ripple suddenly appeared around Mordin's body, rapidly spreading outwards. In all areas covered by the ripple, the airflow subtly changed, as if completely under Mordin's control.

"This is..." A hint of wariness flashed in Thor's eyes.

Mordin smiled slightly, "The Domain of Wind is one of the strongest wind-based abilities I possess. Within this domain, I can completely control the flow and pressure changes of the air."

As he finished speaking, Thor suddenly felt the air around him become unusually heavy, and he found it difficult to breathe. This was because Mordin was increasing the air pressure around him, trying to restrict his movements.

Worse still, Thor discovered that his lightning energy was becoming unstable. Electricity requires air as a conductor, and when the flow of air is completely controlled, the efficiency of current propagation is greatly reduced.

"It seems you've already sensed it," Mordin's voice held a hint of smugness. "The Wind Domain not only affects the physical air, but also disrupts the flow of energy. Your lightning abilities will be greatly diminished here."

Thor tried to release the lightning net again, but this time the current dimmed and weakened as soon as it left the blade, quickly dissipating into the air.

"This is troublesome," Thor thought to himself. "If I can't use my lightning abilities, then I'll be left with nothing but hand-to-hand combat."

Mordin seemed to see through Thor's thoughts. "Don't worry, I won't deprive you of the opportunity to use your full power. On the contrary, I want to see your Ninefold Thunder Domain." His eyes flashed with fighting spirit. "Only by defeating an opponent who is going all out does victory have meaning."

With that, Mordin thrust his hands forward, unleashing the cry, "Wind Domain - Thousand Blade Storm!"

The air within the Wind Realm suddenly became abnormally volatile, countless wind blades forming in the air and then raining down on Thor like a storm. These wind blades were sharper and faster than before, aimed directly at vital points. Thor knew that his physical strength alone was no longer enough to withstand this level of attack. He had to use his ultimate technique.

“Since you want to see it, then I won’t hold back,” Thor gripped the Thunder Blade tightly, the blue crystals on the blade beginning to glow brilliantly. “Ninefold Thunder Domain, First Layer, Activate!”

A deafening thunderclap boomed across the arena, as if a real bolt of lightning had struck. Thor's body was enveloped in a layer of pale blue electric light, forming a distinct energy field. Although this energy field was not large, it emanated a chilling pressure.

All the wind blades aimed at Thor were instantly shattered upon contact with this layer of lightning, dissipating into invisible air currents.

"Second level, activate!"

Another clap of thunder resounded, and the lightning around Thor became even brighter and denser, doubling the size of the energy field. Cracks began to appear on the ground, and small stones floated up under the powerful energy.

Modin's expression turned serious. "As expected, it lives up to its reputation. Is this the Ninefold Thunder Domain?"

Thor didn't answer, but instead continued to increase the intensity of his domain, "Third level, activated! Fourth level, activated!"

After two consecutive claps of thunder, the lightning surrounding Thor had formed a complete blue sphere of light, approximately ten meters in diameter. The sphere's interior crackled with electricity, emitting a teeth-grinding crackling sound. Most astonishingly, this sphere had begun to counteract the effects of the wind domain, and the airflow around Thor returned to normal.

The atmosphere in the stands reached a climax, with everyone holding their breath and watching this duel between top experts.

"Incredible!" Luo Feng exclaimed in shock, "Thor's Ninefold Thunder Domain can actually neutralize the effects of the Wind Domain!"

Rowan nodded. "This is precisely the characteristic of the lightning element's laws. Electric current can alter the ion state of the surrounding air through a powerful energy field, thereby counteracting the control of the wind element's laws."

Hong Nan said a few more words, "The real test is about to begin; Modin definitely has more tricks up his sleeve."

In the arena, Mordin did indeed become more cautious. He no longer attacked blindly, but constantly changed positions to observe the characteristics of Thor's domain.

"The Wind Domain seems to have limited effect on your Thunder Domain," Mordin said with a hint of surprise. "As expected of a lightning genius. However..." His hands suddenly formed a complex hand seal, "The true essence of wind is not merely controlling airflow. The Essence of Wind - Vacuum Domain!"

The air around Mordin suddenly underwent a bizarre change, forming a completely transparent sphere. The air inside this sphere was completely evacuated, creating a vacuum region.

“The vacuum realm is an advanced application of the laws of wind,” Modin explained. “It's formed by rapidly rotating air creating an absolute barrier, with a complete vacuum inside. And in a vacuum…”

"The current cannot be conducted!" Thor immediately realized the danger.

Mordin nodded. "That's right. Without air as a medium, electricity cannot propagate. Furthermore, this vacuum region can be moved."

After saying that, the vacuum sphere floated towards Thor like a giant bubble. Once Thor was enveloped inside, his lightning abilities would be completely nullified.

"Not good!" Thor immediately realized he had to stop the vacuum field from getting closer. He raised his Thunder Blade and activated the Thunder Domain with all his might, "Fifth level, activate! Sixth level, activate!"

After two deafening claps of thunder, the lightning surrounding Thor had solidified into a tangible blue liquid, flowing in the air. This level of lightning domain possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary cosmic-grade weapons.

"Thunder!"

Thor swung his sword sharply, and a thick bolt of blue lightning shot from the tip, heading straight for the approaching vacuum sphere. The moment the lightning struck the sphere, a violent energy collision occurred, erupting into a dazzling white light and a deafening explosion.

When the light faded, people were surprised to find that although the vacuum sphere had been hit, it was not completely shattered; only some cracks appeared on its surface, which quickly repaired itself.

Thor's face showed a rare expression of shock.

Modin's voice came from within the sphere, "The defensive capabilities of the vacuum field far exceed your imagination. Ordinary attacks cannot break through it."

The vacuum sphere continued to approach Thor, and his attacks seemed utterly ineffective in stopping it. The situation was critical; Thor had to make a decision.

Just then, he seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his lips.

“You’re right, ordinary attacks can’t break through a vacuum field. However,” Thor planted his Thunder Blade into the ground, forming hand seals, “who says I only know ordinary attacks?”

Thor's eyes suddenly turned pure blue, with no distinction between pupils and sclera, and he exuded a chilling aura.

"Ninefold Thunder Domain - Core Secret Technique: Thunder God Descends!"

With Thor's roar, the seventh layer of the Thunder Domain erupted! Unlike the previous six layers, the seventh layer did not expand outwards but contracted inwards, forming a small plasma sphere only about one meter in diameter. Although small, this sphere contained terrifying energy, even distorting the surrounding space and creating visible ripples.

This is the core essence of the Thunder Domain: by highly compressing all energy into an extremely small area, a qualitative leap can be achieved.

Mordin immediately sensed the danger and quickly reinforced the vacuum field while controlling it to change direction, trying to avoid Thor's attack range.

But Thor did not attack immediately. Instead, he maintained that highly compressed state and continued to form hand seals.

"Thor Descends! All Thunder Returns to One!"

The compressed plasma sphere suddenly exploded, transforming into a massive lightning bolt over five meters in diameter, shooting straight into the sky. This lightning bolt pierced the arena's energy barrier, soaring into the heavens and causing energy fluctuations throughout the entire Virtual Universe Company.

The next second, an even more shocking scene unfolded. Countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the clouds, like divine punishment, all striking towards Mordin's vacuum domain.

"This is... the summoning power of the Law of Thunder!" Rowan exclaimed from the audience. "The God of Thunder has actually mastered this level of profound law!"

This ability allows one to harness the power of thunder and lightning in the world, far surpassing skills that rely solely on personal energy. This is why it is called "Thor's Descent," as if a true thunder god were descending from the sky.
