All Gods: I Became a God by Loading Templates

"Boss. What do we do now?" Natasha's body tensed. Thanos's brief gaze made her feel uneasy; he was dangerous, powerful, and invincible.

Lin Bei frowned and whispered, "Notify the others to retreat!"

Natasha nodded and whispered a message through the Hydra mark.

Thanos completely disregarded the retreating Natasha and the others.

Looking directly at Lin Bei, he slowly said, "You killed Corvus Glaive. I'll give you two choices: hand over the Power Stone and take Corvus Glaive's place, or be killed by me!"

"Replace?!" Lin Bei instantly extracted the key word and couldn't help but look at Proxima Midnight beside him.

Is there such a good thing?

If it were a reader, they might have agreed.

Just ignore the fact that you can only have her body, but not her heart.

Lin Bei has even thought of names for you; you'll be called Yang Dingtian.

Lin Bei refused without hesitation, saying, "That sounds great. But I'm used to being the boss now. If you could give up your position, then I might consider it."

Thanos ignored the olive branch he had extended, his expression unchanged, as if he had seen through Lin Bei's true intentions: "Your power and identity are somewhat different from what I know."

However, if you're using these as your bargaining chips, they might not be enough.

"Oh ho~" Lin Bei squinted, "If that's how you put it, then there's nothing more to talk about!"

The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly oppressive.

Thanos extended his hand, adorned with the Infinity Gauntlet, and revealed a single finger, saying, "This is your last chance. Replace Corvus Glaive and serve me!"

"Finished?" Lin Bei chuckled.

The next second, Lin Bei frowned. In his line of sight, Thanos raised the Infinity Gauntlet and clenched his fist tightly, with a golden gem embedded on the back of his hand.

'Damn! I almost forgot, Thanos has one of the Infinity Stones, the Mind Stone!'

Chapter 227

The power of the Infinity Stones is like a privileged account in a game.

The game is called Earth-TRN732.

Avoiding it is simple: just don't play Marvel games.

However, it is not entirely unresistable.

In the Marvel movies, Thanos couldn't unleash the full power of the Mind Stone. To unleash its full potential, he needed to use the Infinity Gauntlet for a considerable amount of time before casting the spell.

The difficulty lies in the fact that this type of attack cannot be avoided in the conventional way.

But it's not impossible.

The simplest way is to use magic to defeat magic.

Other Infinity Stones can block some damage, but within the opponent's control, they can only mitigate a portion, not completely defend against it.

And coincidentally, within Lin Bei's Apocalypse Dimension, the Time Stone and Space Stone were still providing power, and in terms of utilization, the Apocalypse Dimension completely outperformed Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet.

In addition, he also had a newly arrived Infinity Stone, the Power Stone.

It can provide planet-destroying power, and at the same time amplify power in various senses.

Furthermore, Lin Bei can also use the power of the Apocalypse Dimension to envelop himself, thus isolating himself in another way and offsetting some of the power of the Mind Gem.

From this perspective, a war is not entirely out of the question.

A thin layer of pale red mist, mixed with faint blue and green light, covered Lin Bei's body.

It blocked the invasion of the Mind Gem on both spatial and temporal levels.

Visually presented as fog, it's definitely a villainous character. Proper protagonists all have shields or protective barriers; who would be surrounded by smoke?

The power of the Mind Stone that Thanos had secretly placed on Lin Bei suddenly seemed to be lingering even after being severed.

It was easily cleared away by Lin Bei's superb mental magic, isolated from his mental world.

Strands of the power of the Mind Gem continued to try to invade Lin Bei's mental world.

Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart still felt like it was weighed down by a huge rock.

This is just a delaying tactic, which can probably last for about three hours. In reality, there is only about half an hour of absolute clarity, and the rest of the time is the limit of what one can resist.

If the battle isn't resolved within half an hour, even if I manage to escape, my understanding of the situation will likely have to change.

Thanos was not disappointed that he had failed to enslave Lin Bei, and looked with interest at the misty defense that enveloped Lin Bei.

The opponent is the current Supreme Master, so it's reasonable that he can hold out for a while.

With a slap, the rock throne suddenly opened up a series of holes, emitting several energy rays that caused ripples to spread through the mist.

When the attack ended, the energy beams seemed to be swallowed up by the mist.

Resisting Thanos's attack did not make Lin Bei happy; instead, his face darkened.

Thanos actually removed the mental imprint he had placed on his subordinates.

Thanos couldn't help but laugh and said to Lin Bei, "Your mind magic is very interesting. You truly deserve to be called the Sorcerer Supreme."

Lin Bei looked at Natasha with a stiff expression.

After all, secretly using tricks on someone's mind is not a very honorable thing to do.

In addition, the other party has a history of using this method.

Sensing the change in perception, I looked at Lin Bei's unpleasant expression.

Natasha chuckled inwardly, but instead reassured him, "Boss, don't worry, you're mine, I won't betray you."

"I know, I believe you!" Lin Bei nodded: "Well, since you already know and don't object, I'll move on to the next one after we're done."

After all, I have to treat everyone equally. I can't show favoritism, or Yelena will throw a tantrum.

Natasha: "..."

"Alright, you all should retreat now!" After saying that, Lin Bei contacted everyone present and issued a strong order through the Hydra mark, instructing everyone to evacuate immediately.

Thanos, relying on the Mind Stone to remove his mind magic—the Mind Imprint—and the mental suggestions he had spent so much time planting with the "Blessing Voice," might just make himself experience the standard villain scenario if he didn't let everyone leave.

Natasha, Yelena, and the ordinary Hydra minions were alright.

He wasn't worried because his relationship with Natasha and Yelena was unusual, while the remaining Hydra underlings were his superiors and subordinates, plus they were bound by high-welfare benefits.

The key is Bucky; he might join Thanos's team the moment he unlocks his secrets.

As the warships and spaceships slowly ascended into the air, Thanos did not stop them. He had come for Lin Bei, and no one else was worthy of his intervention.

Suddenly, a terrifying energy surge erupted from the distance.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

Thanos's expression changed slightly. He raised his hand and slapped the rocky throne, then lightly leaped to the ground.

A cluster of lightning bolts, resembling delicate flower petals, struck Thanos's rocky throne.

Thor suddenly appeared, swinging his giant hammer at Thanos.

Thanos raised his right hand and shoved it directly at him.

A shockwave suddenly erupted.

Thor did not retreat but advanced.

Faced with the pressure of the punch, Thanos snorted coldly, clenched his left Infinity Gauntlet into a fist, and struck Thor in the waist with a counterattack.

Thor was sent flying backward like an arrow.

It crashed directly onto Loki, who was rushing over, and the second princess once again became a human cushion, smashing through seven or eight stone pillars along the way and collapsing into the ruins.

"Loki? Thank goodness you caught me! You really are my brother! I love you!"

Thor swung his hammer to sweep away the falling rocks, and only after getting up did he realize that his own brother was once again pinned beneath him, which immediately brought him great relief.

Loki gave Thor a helpless glare.

Meanwhile, Lin Bei was deep in thought.

This is a golden opportunity. If he could cooperate with Thor to kill Thanos, then retiring early wouldn't be out of the question. After taking over the position of Sorcerer Supreme, Lin Bei realized that things were not going to be easy.

The responsibility of Kamar-Taj, which has been invested in by various influential figures, is to protect Earth, although there are also some vested interests involved.

But this is beyond the knowledge of a young dimensional demon like myself.

It's like this: there's a legally permissible project with extremely low costs and guaranteed profits, and several big shots have already invested and participated in it—it's a long-term deal. With such a good opportunity, why would they let an unknown nobody get involved? They'd only end up getting less money.

Lin Bei reached directly into the portal and pulled out the Cosmic Spirit Orb.

"Crack!"

The cosmic orb was violently crushed, and the purple power gem emitted a dazzling light.

Lin Bei hardened his heart and gripped the power gem tightly.

"boom!!!"

An invisible purple flame formed a wave that spread out from Lin Bei's body like ripples, enveloping a two-meter radius around him.

Purple veins spread from his arm, and terrifying energy was released instantly, surging into Lin Bei's entire body along his arm. His eyes shot out purple light, and his robes were dyed a villainous purplish-black, fluttering under the aura.

The power gem's energy erupted and surged wildly within Lin Bei's body, eroding and damaging him in a terrifying manner.

At the same time, Mjolnir, with the small note stuck to his body, fell out of the portal and landed at Thor's feet.

A piercing buzzing sound rang in my ears.

Lin Bei looked at the world that seemed to have been dyed purple, and then looked at the power gem he was holding tightly in his left hand, which shone brightly like a pearl.

The purple light enveloped his left fist.

Lin Bei's eyes gleamed with a purple light. He couldn't help but look up at Thanos, his lips twitching to reveal his white teeth.

"The Power Stone!" Thanos blurted out instinctively.

His face was gloomy as he looked ahead. Lin Bei, dressed in a long robe, stood quietly, his whole body shrouded in a purple aura.

Thanos's expression was extremely ugly as he sensed the power burning wildly within Lin Bei's body, a power that was both frenzied and calm.
