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

Chapter 291 The Glory of the Ice Queen!

"Come forth!" Thor roared, pointing his warhammer to the sky, "Thunder Shake the Heavens!"

Boom!

Nine massive lightning bolts descended from the sky simultaneously, each containing earth-shattering power. The lightning bolts intertwined in the air, forming a massive lightning net that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Eye of the Storm!"

Saroo crossed his twin swords, transforming himself into the core of the tornado. The storm spun rapidly, forming a massive vortex of wind that sucked in all the incoming lightning.

Boom boom boom!
Lightning collided with the storm, unleashing a deafening roar. The entire battlefield trembled violently, and even the protective shields cracked.

"Strengthen the protection!" the referee hurriedly shouted. Dozens of lord-level powerhouses acted simultaneously, finally stabilizing the shaky protective shield.

"These two are insane!" someone in the stands exclaimed. "This isn't a competition, it's world destruction!"

"As expected of the highlight match of the fourth round," Rowan said, his eyes gleaming. "Both of them brought out their true strength."

On the battlefield, the battle between lightning and storms continues. Thor summons thunderbolts, while Saroo manipulates the storms to defend against them. The two contrasting forces intertwine in the air, creating a spectacular scene.

"This can't go on," Thor said, his brow furrowed. "We have to break this deadlock!"

He suddenly changed tactics, no longer summoning heavenly thunder, but instead concentrating all the power of lightning on his warhammer.

"Thunderous Strike - Sky-Shattering!"

Thor leaped high into the air, his warhammer crashing down upon the eye of the storm with devastating lightning. This strike concentrated all his power, seemingly tearing space itself apart.

"The Origin of Wind - Ultimate Technique - Wrath of the Wind God!"

Not to be outdone, Saro combined his two swords, converging all the power of the wind into a beam of blue light, which met Thor's warhammer head-on.

boom!
The moment the two forces collided, the entire world seemed to fall silent. Then, a blinding light erupted, engulfing the entire battlefield.

"Oh no!" The referee's expression changed drastically. "Everyone, reinforce the defenses with all your might!"

Hundreds of powerful figures attacked simultaneously, layer upon layer of protective shields enveloping the battlefield. Even so, the terrifying energy fluctuations still caused the entire Star Arena to tremble.

As the light faded and the smoke gradually dissipated, the scene on the battlefield made everyone gasp in shock.

The once smooth battlefield was now unrecognizable, riddled with craters and cracks. Thor knelt on one knee, his warhammer planted in the ground for support, his lightning armor badly damaged, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Saroo was in no better shape. He was kneeling on the other side, his twin swords broken, his blue battle robe tattered, and his body covered in burn marks from lightning.

"Can I still... fight?" Thor gasped for breath as he struggled to his feet.

“Of course!” Salo also stood up, swaying slightly, but his fighting spirit was even stronger.

"You've got guts!" Thor laughed. "Then let's go again!"

Both of them unleashed their last bit of power, preparing to launch a decisive blow.

Just then, the referee suddenly appeared between the two players: "Enough! This match is a draw!"

"What?" they both exclaimed in surprise.

"You've both reached your limits," the referee said sternly. "If you continue, it's either you or me. This is a competition, not a fight to the death."

Thor and Saroo exchanged a glance, both seeing resentment and respect in each other's eyes.

“Next time, we’ll settle this once and for all.” Saroo sheathed his broken sword.

“It’s a deal!” Thor nodded.

"A draw! Thor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and Salo of the Sirius Star Region both advance!" the referee announced loudly.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. The battle was far more exciting than anyone had imagined; both geniuses displayed astonishing strength.

In the audience, Luo Wen and others also stood up and applauded.

"What a spectacular battle!" Rowan exclaimed. "Thor's lightning laws and Salo's wind essence have both reached a remarkably high level."

“Yes,” Hong nodded, “especially that final blow; both of them used their most powerful, hidden techniques.”

"However, Thor still held back," Luo Feng suddenly said. "His Thunder Law has actually reached the threshold of the fourth level of profound mystery, but he hasn't used it."

"Oh?" Rowan asked in surprise, "Why?"

"They probably want to save it for later matches," Luo Feng chuckled. "After all, this is only the fourth round."

At this point, Thor had already walked back to the stands with the help of medical personnel.

"Thank you for your hard work." Rowan handed over a bottle of recovery potion.

"Hoo..." Thor downed his drink in one gulp. "That guy was really strong; I almost lost."

"You didn't use your full strength either, did you?" Hong said with a half-smile.

Thor grinned. "You figured it out? That's right, I still have a trump card up my sleeve. But that guy probably does too."

"The source of wind is indeed troublesome," Rowan mused. "Its speed is fast, its attacks are unpredictable, and it's impossible to defend against."

"The most terrifying thing is his Void Transformation technique," Thor said seriously. "Being able to briefly become elemental is practically cheating."

"Your Thunder Laws are quite formidable," Hong comforted him. "Especially when you're in your Thunder God Descent state, your attack power is terrifying."

"Next time we meet, I'm definitely going to beat him!" Thor clenched his fist.

At this point, the holographic screen begins to display the match-up list for the next game.

"Next up is another highly anticipated match," Luo Feng reminded him, "'Death God Carlos versus Ice Queen Christina.'"

"The Law of Death versus the Essence of Ice." Rowan's eyes lit up. "Another spectacular duel."

While everyone was discussing, new figures appeared on the battlefield.

Carlos, clad in a black cloak and wielding a scythe, exuded an ominous aura. Christina, on the other hand, wore an ice-blue gown and held a crystal scepter, radiating nobility and elegance.

“Two extremes again,” Thor commented. “One represents death, the other represents life.”

"start!"

A new battle has begun, reigniting the audience's enthusiasm.

Rowan and the others watched intently, not missing a single detail. For them, the battles of these top geniuses were invaluable learning opportunities.

"We need to give it our all in tomorrow's match," Luo Feng suddenly said.

“Yes,” Rowan nodded, “Our opponents will get stronger and stronger, and we need to show our true strength.”

Thor stretched his limbs: "Perfect! I can't wait to get started!"

Hong smiled and shook his head: "Let's heal our injuries first." Just as everyone was discussing, two figures appeared on the battlefield.

Carlos emerged from the shadows, his black cloak almost completely enveloping him, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes. The scythe in his hand emanated an ominous black aura, with faint dark red patterns flowing along its blade, as if it were forged from blood.

"This guy exudes such a murderous aura," Rowan frowned. "He's practically a demon crawled out of hell."

"It's said he grew up in the assassin training camp of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance," Hong said. "He started carrying out missions at the age of ten and has completed thousands of assassinations to date, his hands stained with blood."

"No wonder he has such a profound understanding of the Law of Death," Thor clicked his tongue. "This law needs nothing more than the nourishment of killing and death."

On the other side, Christina slowly walked onto the battlefield. She wore a magnificent ice-blue gown, the hem adorned with countless tiny ice crystals that swayed gently with her steps, radiating a dazzling light. Her long golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, accentuating her exquisite face; she truly deserved the title of the most beautiful woman.

But what's even more eye-catching is the crystal scepter in her hand. The scepter is completely transparent, with a fist-sized ice-blue gemstone set at the top, inside which snowflakes seem to be dancing.

"The Ice and Snow Scepter." Luo Feng recognized the weapon. "The national treasure of the Star River Empire, said to be forged from ten-thousand-year-old ice, capable of unleashing the full power of ice's essence."

"It seems the Star River Empire is taking this competition very seriously," Rowan nodded. "They've even brought out treasures of this caliber."

On the battlefield, the two were already in their positions.

Carlos stood in the shadows, seemingly one with the darkness. He held the Grim Reaper's scythe at an angle, its tip pointing to the ground, and a black aura of death swirled around him.

Christina stood in the sunlight, pure and flawless like an ice fairy. She gently waved her crystal scepter, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped, with tiny ice crystals beginning to condense in the air.

"Begin!" the referee commanded.

Carlos launched an attack immediately, transforming into a black shadow as he lunged at Christina. The Grim Reaper's scythe drew a dark arc, its passage seemingly corroding even the air itself.

"Touch of Death!"

Countless skeletal phantoms suddenly appeared on the blade of the scythe, each with its mouth wide open, as if it wanted to devour all life.

"Ice wall!"

Christina remained calm and composed. She lightly tapped the ground with her crystal scepter, and a crystal-clear ice wall instantly appeared before her. The ice wall was several meters thick, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling, cold light.

boom!
The Grim Reaper's scythe struck the ice wall with a deafening sound. The black aura of death collided with the icy blue chill, producing a hissing, corrosive sound.

“Interesting,” Carlos said in a hoarse voice, “but this level of defense can’t stop death.”

He abruptly pulled back his scythe, and his body suddenly split into dozens of figures, each carrying a strong aura of death.

"Death Clone!" Rowan's eyes lit up in the audience. "This move is no simple feat; each clone possesses 30% of the original's attack power."

Dozens of Carlos launched a simultaneous attack, swarming towards Christina from different angles. The aura of death formed a massive net, completely surrounding her.

"The Realm of Ice!"

Christina finally revealed her true power. She raised her crystal scepter high, and a halo of icy blue light rapidly expanded from her center. Wherever it touched, the temperature plummeted, and even the air began to freeze.

As soon as the death clones entered the aura's range, their movements immediately slowed down. The black aura of death collided with the extreme cold, producing a hissing sound.

"Found you!" Christina's beautiful eyes narrowed, her scepter pointing directly at one of the clones. "Spear of Extreme Cold!"

A massive ice spear materialized, radiating a chilling aura as it shot towards its target. The clone tried to dodge, only to find its movements frozen in place.

boom!
The ice spear struck precisely, revealing Carlos's true form. His cloak was torn open, revealing a suit of black armor.

"Good eye," Carlos sneered, "but do you think you can hurt me like this?"

A dense black aura suddenly erupted from his body, unleashing the full power of the Law of Death.

"The Realm of Death!"

Black energy surged forth like a tide, colliding head-on with Christina's ice domain. The two distinct forces intertwined in the air, forming a clear boundary between black and white.

"A clash of realms!" Thor stood up excitedly. "This is a true battle of masters!"

On the battlefield, black and icy blue energies constantly collided and eroded each other. Carlos's Death Domain was filled with an aura of decay and destruction, while Christina's Ice Domain was pure and cold.

"Death Corrosion!"

Carlos increased his power output, and countless black tentacles suddenly appeared in the Death Domain, frantically eroding the boundaries of the Ice Domain.

"Freeze everything!"

Christina was not to be outdone; the temperature within her ice domain dropped again, and the black tentacles were frozen into ice sculptures the moment they touched them.

“This can't go on.” A ruthless glint flashed in Carlos's eyes. “Looks like we'll have to use that move.”

He suddenly withdrew from the Death Domain, leaped high into the air, and raised the Grim Reaper's scythe above his head.

"The Law of Death - Ultimate Secret - The Return of the Dead!"

Boom!

The entire battlefield suddenly trembled, and the ground began to crack. Countless skeletal arms emerged from the cracks, followed by complete skeletal warriors. They wielded various weapons, and eerie green flames burned in their eye sockets.

"An undead legion?!" The audience erupted in commotion.

"No," Luo Feng shook his head, "This isn't a true undead, but an energy entity condensed using the laws of death. However, its power is not to be underestimated."

Hundreds of skeleton warriors formed a battle formation and charged towards Christina under Carlos's command.

“An interesting move,” Christina smiled slightly. “But at absolute zero, everything will freeze.”

She slowly closed her eyes, and the crystal scepter emitted a dazzling light. Her entire demeanor suddenly changed, from noble and elegant to cold and dignified.

"The Essence of Ice, Fifth Level of Profound Technique: Absolute Zero!"

In an instant, the temperature on the entire battlefield plummeted. The charging skeleton warriors moved slower and slower until they came to a complete stop, turning into ice sculptures.

"Is this the power of the fifth level of profound mystery?" Rowan exclaimed in shock. "It can even freeze energy bodies!"

Carlos's expression changed drastically; he felt the death energy within him begin to stagnate. This extreme cold was beyond his expectations.

"We can't delay any longer!" He gritted his teeth, concentrating all his death power into his scythe, "Death Blossom!"

The black energy compressed wildly on the blade, forming a miniature black hole. All the surrounding light was absorbed, plunging the entire battlefield into darkness.

"The Glory of the Snow Queen!"

Christina also unleashed her ultimate move. She floated in mid-air, the crystal scepter merging with her to transform into a giant ice crystal longsword.

The two launched their final attack simultaneously.

The black flower of death collided with the ice-blue greatsword in mid-air, unleashing a devastating energy surge.
