I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

Laura stared directly at Thanos, her eyes filled with curiosity, seemingly puzzled that Thanos had recognized her.

Seeing Laura's confusion, Thanos smiled, seemingly unconcerned that the child had intruded into his flagship.

"The Rainbow Bridge of Asgard".

Thanos pointed to the miniature rainbow bridge floating near Laura's shoulder and said, "I do know something about Asgard."

"But as far as I know, the only one in the entire universe capable of using the Bifrost as a portable weapon is Aerriel. I had this suspicion when the Chitauri were attacked by the Bifrost before."

"Hmm, more or less."

Since Thanos had no intention of continuing the attack, Laura was willing to give him face. The weapons in the air disappeared into the void, leaving only minimalist ship rigging, and Laura leaned against the inner ring.

The ring slowly rose, finally stopping at a height where Laura and Thanos could look at each other at eye level.

Laura stuck out her tongue and licked the lollipop she'd somehow found, readily admitting, "I stole it when I went to Asgard last time. Remember not to tell that old man Odin."

"Lola doesn't want Aerriel and Asgard to argue about this."

Based on her brief encounter with Thor, Laura guessed from his attitude that Asgard might not know about this. Asgard is a hidden world of nine realms, and it's already a miracle that it can maintain diplomacy with the Nova Empire. How could they possibly be interested in a topic that has become incredibly popular in interstellar space in such a short time?

If Odin knew that he had stolen Asgard's prized Bifrost technology in just a few days, one wonders if the god-king would be so angry that he would have a heart attack.

"Putting that aside for now, as a citizen of Elriel, what exactly do you want to verify by trespassing on the Temple?"

Thanos didn't dwell on this digression for too long, but went straight to the point. More than the diplomacy between Ariel and Asgard, Thanos was more concerned with what Laura had mentioned earlier.

If it were just a trivial matter, Thanos wouldn't mind having another target to declare war on, adding Ariel's name to his list of targets for his 50/50 policy.

But the next moment, Laura casually said something while holding a lollipop with two fingers, which made Thanos's expression change.

"Reboot, understand?"

103. The Formation of the Three Heavenly Father-Level Alliances

Thanos gestured to Ebony Maw and the others, and a few minutes later, in the hall where only he and Laura remained, he solemnly asked, "You came here for this?"

Thanos didn't ask Laura how she knew. In fact, those who were qualified to know such things had basically reached the level of the Celestial in terms of individual strength.

However, knowing this is one thing, but trying to fight against a dimensional demon god who holds the key to restart and whose own strength is at the peak of the Heavenly Father is quite unrealistic.

Moreover, if they exhibit obstructive behavior, the dimensional demons wouldn't mind eliminating a wave of them in advance.

Therefore, apart from a small number of Heavenly Fathers who are prepared to fight to the end, most Heavenly Fathers will go into seclusion and prepare to seek out secondary dimensions in order to avoid the cleansing of the restart.

Yes, this era is quite special. Agamotto directly became Vishanti, Odin's lifespan was gradually coming to an end due to old wounds from the war, and the Ancient One herself was also preparing for retirement.

Even Thanos will be directly eliminated in the future.

After Thor activates the power of the Thunder God within him, his power can reach the level of the Skyfather. However, considering Thor's personality, he will most likely choose to fight to the end and follow in Odin's footsteps.

This feels like a total wipeout ending.

Thanos knew he would have a hard time fighting the cycle of the dimensional demigods' liberation, so he chose another way.

By eliminating half the population, they would hasten the creation of the Soul Gem and hope that the people of this era would be able to control it.

"Destroying half the population, just for this?"

When Thanos told Laura his purpose, Laura was speechless.

Acquire the Infinity Stones and destroy them, thus ushering in a new era for the entire universe. During the creation of the new stones, the dimensional lords will also lose control over the cosmic rules represented by the previous stones.

The prematurely born Soul Gem will become a variable in this event.

In the future that is heading towards the end, this is the last chance for people of this era to obtain the Infinity Stones and become new gods.

"Of course, even the strongest Heavenly Father is not omniscient and omnipotent. If we want to break the cycle, then we must take extraordinary actions."

Sitting on the steps, Thanos removed his armor. Finally, someone was willing to listen to his purpose, and Thanos could feel a temporary sense of relief.

"Half a soul, this can bring forward the time of the birth of a new Soul Gem to the limit."

Holding his helmet, Thanos continued, "Besides that, the Ancient One and Odin are also preparing their own backup plans, you should know that, right?"

Laura nodded. The Ancient One finally banished Dormammu from spying on Earth, while Odin placed his hopes on his son.

And Laura, at this moment, connects the three together.

"So, shall we work together to prevent the reboot?"

Raising her head, Laura looked at Thanos with her chest out and slowly unveiled the plan to cover the universe.

The tangible technology was right before Thanos's eyes. The virtual universe constructed by Astra flashed before Thanos's eyes, and its power, enough to change the entire world, gave Thanos a glimmer of unprecedented hope.

Maybe this time it really will work.

Thanos extended a finger and gently touched Laura's palm.

"However, a few of us are not enough to stop five dimensional demons."

After reaching a consensus, Thanos also quietly expressed his concerns. Even if it only needed to hold them off for a period of time, it would still require a Celestial of equal caliber to fight against them.

Odin managed to snag the Power Stone, but his power was diminished due to its targeted nature, meaning he could only fight one opponent. Adding the Ancient One and himself, that makes a total of three.

As for Laura… Thanos glanced at the ship's equipment beside Laura and wondered what it meant.

As mentioned before, once you have a basic grasp of the rules, it's like stepping into the realm of the Heavenly Father. But that doesn't mean you can't defy the Heavenly Father if you don't understand the rules.

Just like the Ancient One, although she was determined to die, no matter what, a lowly dark sorcerer ultimately killed her.

Although Laura did not master any of the rules, the several technologies she possessed were enough to attempt to defy the Heavenly Father.

However, Thanos fell silent when he thought about the consequences of destroying the Infinity Stones with them.

If they want to initiate the restart process, they will lose at least one Heavenly Father-level combatant.

"Lola will figure out a solution."

Laura answered confidently. In her heart, Laura had already decided on the spot, but it was not the right time to say it.

Seeing Laura's confident demeanor, Thanos couldn't help but calm down.

Standing up from the steps, Thanos reminded Laura, "In that case, you should go back. I'm glad to hear a way to change your fate at this time."

"That's for sure, after all, you are destiny."

Laura, with a serious expression but unable to suppress a smile, teased.

Faced with Laura's teasing, Thanos couldn't help but smile: "No, things have changed this time."

"Destiny is in my hands!"

Laura leaped off the ring, ready to end her meeting with Thanos. But before she did, she hadn't forgotten her earlier plan.

Drawing her Starship Slayer Blade, Laura's smile faded as she addressed Thanos, who looked utterly bewildered, "Then let Laura witness the power of the Heavenly Father."

Having understood Laura's plan, Thanos did not intend to refuse. Letting Laura know the power of the Heavenly Father would also help with the unfolding of his plans.

Thanos donned his helmet, his armor gleaming, and raised his blade, emanating a chilling aura.

"Then, be careful."

Without saying much, Thanos, already in battle mode, charged directly at Laura. The Titans' divine power and physical strength were on full display; with a single slash, Laura even felt the space around them become unstable.

Laura hastily raised her sword to block for a moment, then quickly moved backward. The sharp blade of the Titan's Blade grazed her cheek, causing a slight stinging sensation.

"How exactly did Captain America manage to go toe-to-toe with Thanos back then?"

While criticizing the plot as she knew it, Laura decisively distanced herself from Thanos, while simultaneously unleashing several sword energies from her Starship Slayer Blade in an attempt to buy herself some time.

At the same time, the two electromagnetic secondary cannons also acted as interference, firing wildly at Thanos.

However, Thanos, a veteran of many battles, paid no attention to these attacks, slashing the sword energy twice. Thanos was focused on closing the distance between himself and Laura.

"Is the sword aura of the Star Sword really that weak...?"

Thinking to herself that the Cybertronian artifacts were unreliable, Laura simply put away her ship-slaying sword and fired a blazing particle spear in the direction her arm was pointing, forcing Thanos to temporarily stop his advance.

Then, a spatial vortex silently appeared beneath Thanos.

"The spaceship is too small, let's find another place first."

104. Both are bald, but the difference is quite significant.

Although Thanos sensed the activation of the space bridge beforehand, he did not resist, just as Laura said, the space on the Temple was too small.

With the coordinates set on a nearby planet, accompanied by a loud bang and a cloud of dust, the battle between Laura and Thanos suddenly took on a new setting.

The dim light from distant stars, the frigid atmosphere, and the rampant high-energy particle radiation brought the most vibrant day to this desolate planet in millions of years.

"I thought battles at the Heavenly Father level would be more... fantastical."

Seeing Thanos rushing towards her at high speed, Laura raised an eyebrow and simultaneously unleashed four particle light spears to attack Thanos.

A high-energy particle beam bombarded Thanos's Titan body, leaving a dark mark, but with the flow of divine power, the wound healed most of it in an instant.

"Under normal circumstances, that is indeed possible."

As Thanos continued to advance under Laura's particle beam spear, he answered her question at the opportune moment: "However, compared to those meaningless confrontations, the original battles under the rule of mutual restraint are more likely to determine the winner."

"Don't think of the rules as magical; they're just a tool that can provide huge amplification and expand into new areas."

Thanos unleashed his energy to shoot down a swarm of harassing fighter jets, and generously shared his understanding with Laura: "But when the enemy is about to use so-called mystical methods, it's most likely their last resort."

Laura fully understands this.

Just like Ultraman, who can make the most of light energy, with all sorts of beams and special skills, but always starts by fighting hand-to-hand to build up his rage.

Anyone who dares to use their ultimate skill when the blue light is on is either a pro or a newbie.

Sitting atop the Colossus Ring, facing Thanos's relentless onslaught, Laura calmly pours you a cup of black tea and then tosses you a sugar cube.

"Was the Ancient One like that too?"

The distance between them had been compressed to the extreme, but Laura did not panic at all. She placed the Star Slash Blade on her legs as a tray and manipulated the ship's equipment to block Thanos's fist.

“The Ancient One is an exception.”

Thanos unleashed a flurry of punches aimed at Laura's vitals, but they were all blocked by Laura's unique ship armor, resulting in a temporary stalemate between Thanos and the ship armor.
