Chapter 57: The Clash of All Phenomena · The Radiance of Law and Change
In the void, the close-quarters combat between Sun Wukong and Thanos had reached a fever pitch. Each collision between the golden-hooped staff and the Infinity Gauntlet erupted with a sound that撕裂空间 (sīliè kōngjiān -撕裂空间), the逸散的能量冲击波 (yìsàn de néngliàng chōngjíbō -逸散的能量冲击波)彻底清空 (chèdǐ qīngkōng -彻底清空) nearby ship debris and asteroid belts, creating a deadly vacuum zone.Unable to gain the upper hand through strength and skill alone, Thanos resolved to employ the deeper powers of the Infinity Stones. He feigned a punch, used the recoil to leap back, and on the Infinity Gauntlet, the Reality Stone erupted with a妖艳的赤红色光芒 (yāoyàn de chìhóngsè guāngmáng -妖艳的赤红色光芒)!"Law Distortion · The Change of All Phenomena!" Thanos's低沉的声音 (dīchén de shēngyīn -低沉的声音) resonated as the red light spread out like a tide.Instantly, the laws of space around Sun Wukong were forcibly rewritten, becoming光怪陆离 (guāng guài lù lí -光怪陆离)!The void around him solidified instantly into琥珀 (hǔpò -琥珀), trapping him firmly at its center!The deck of Sanctuary II beneath his feet液化 (yèhuà -液化), surging up in灼热的金属巨浪 (zhuórè de jīnshǔ jùlàng -灼热的金属巨浪) that roared like a living thing to吞噬 (tūnshì -吞噬) him!Countless chains of pure energy,暗红色 (àn hóngsè -暗红色),钻出虚空 (zuān chū xūkōng -钻出虚空) from all directions,缠绕而上 (chánrào ér shàng -缠绕而上), their surfaces shimmering with禁锢符文 (jìngù fúwén -禁锢符文)!Even the流动的能量 (liúdòng de néngliàng -流动的能量) and呼吸的以太 (hūxī de yǐtài -呼吸的以太) around him were篡改性质 (cuàngǎi xìngzhì -篡改性质), turning into剧毒的紫色腐蚀性能量 (jùdú de zǐsè fǔshí xìng néngliàng -剧毒的紫色腐蚀性能量), attempting to瓦解他 (wǎjiě tā -瓦解他) from within!The power of the Reality Stone directly修改局部宇宙的现实法则 (xiūgǎi júbù yǔzhòu de xiànshí fǎzé -修改局部宇宙的现实法则), a降维打击 (jiàng wéi dǎjí -降维打击)!"Eh? Altering heaven and earth? Somewhat interesting!" Sun Wukong, at the center of the剧变 (jùbiàn -剧变), his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils blazing with golden light, showed no panic but rather兴奋之色 (xīngfèn zhī sè -兴奋之色). "More powerful than that little girl playing with chaos magic! Pity, all flashy tricks, lacking the true essence!"He unleashed his own supernatural powers, meeting change with change!"Law of Heaven, Form of Earth!" he roared暴喝 (bàohè -暴喝), his body swelling with the wind, instantly顶天立地 (dǐngtiānlìdì -顶天立地)! The solidified琥珀 was violently撑裂 (chēng liè -撑裂) by his膨胀的恐怖力量 (péngzhàng de kǒngbù lìliàng -膨胀的恐怖力量),寸寸碎裂 (cùncùn suìliè -寸寸碎裂)!"Indestructible Diamond Body!"

The毒雾 (dúwù -毒雾) couldn't penetrate him, the energy chains shattered upon hitting the golden light!"Seventy-Two Transformations!" His form flickered, transforming into a wisp of无形无质的清风 (wúxíng wúzhì de qīngfēng -无形无质的清风), easily slipping out from the吞噬 of the surging metal ocean, then instantly变回原形 (biàn huí yuánxíng -变回原形)毫发无伤 (háo fà wú shāng -毫发无伤)!"Take this old Sun's move too!" Sun Wukong laughed heartily, opened his mouth, and blew out hard!"Samadhi True Wind!" A毁天灭地 (huǐtiānmièdì -毁天灭地) wind capable of吹散天地万物 (chuī sàn tiāndì wànwù -吹散天地万物) howled forth! It didn't attack Thanos directly but席卷向 (xíjuǎn xiàng -席卷向) the altered现实法则! Where the wind passed, the扭曲的法则 (niǔqū de fǎzé -扭曲的法则) was强行吹散 (qiángxíng chuī sàn -强行吹散),抚平 (fǔ píng -抚平),还原 (huányuán -还原)!

It was like a错误画作 (cuòwù huàzuò -错误画作) being erased by a橡皮擦 (xiàngpícā -橡皮擦)!Thanos's瞳孔一缩 (tóngkǒng yī suō -瞳孔一缩). The power of the Reality Stone was being强行抹平 (qiángxíng mǒ píng -强行抹平) by this近乎 "规则层面" (guīzé céngmiàn -规则层面) method?!"Power Stone! Annihilation!" He ceased testing. The Power Stone's purple light intensified to the extreme, compressing infinite energy into a single punch! A纯粹到极致 (chúncuì dào jízhì -纯粹到极致),足以瞬间汽化星辰 (zúyǐ shùnjiān qìhuà xīngchén -足以瞬间汽化星辰)暗紫色能量洪流 (àn zǐsè néngliàng hóngliú -暗紫色能量洪流)撕裂空间 (sīliè kōngjiān -撕裂空间), shooting towards Sun Wukong with an attitude of绝对毁灭 (juéduì huǐmiè -绝对毁灭)!"Come at me!" Sun Wukong neither dodged nor evaded. He thrust his golden-hooped staff forward, planting it deep into the void!"Grow! Grow! Grow!" The staff instantly暴涨 (bàozhǎng -暴涨),顶天立地 (dǐngtiānlìdì -顶天立地)! Earth, water, fire, and wind swirled around its length as the supreme power of the Pacificr, capable of镇压鸿蒙 (zhènyā hóngméng -镇压鸿蒙), stabilizing heaven and earth, was fully unleashed! The annihilating torrent slammed into the巍峨的棒身 (wēi'é de bàng shēn -巍峨的棒身) and was forcibly分流 (fēn liú -分流),导引 (dǎoyǐn -导引),化解 (huàjiě -化解) by the absolute "stabilizing" law!

Thanos roared怒吼 (nùhǒu -怒吼), the light of the two stones on the gauntlet疯狂交织 (fēngkuáng jiāozhī -疯狂交织)! The Reality Stone activated again,扭曲空间 (niǔqū kōngjiān -扭曲空间), creating无数折叠空间陷阱 (wúshù zhédié kōngjiān xiànjǐng -无数折叠空间陷阱) and折射镜面 (zhéshè jìngmiàn -折射镜面) around Sun Wukong! The Power Stone's destructive energy洪流 then疯狂折射 (fēngkuáng zhéshè -疯狂折射),加速 (jiāsù -加速),能量倍增 (néngliàng bèizēng -能量倍增) within them! In an instant, hundreds of威力倍增 (wēilì bèizēng -威力倍增)毁灭光束 (huǐmiè guāngshù -毁灭光束) shot towards Sun Wukong from every angle imaginable, leaving no死角 (sǐjiǎo -死角)!"Petty tricks!" Sun Wukong's form flickered, employing the身外化身之法 (shēn wài huà shēn zhī fǎ -身外化身之法)! Instantly, hundreds of实体分身 (shítǐ fēnshēn -实体分身) materialized, each holding a gleaming如意金箍棒 (rúyì jīngūbàng -如意金箍棒),迎向 (yíng xiàng -迎向) each and every reflected毁灭光束 with pinpoint accuracy!BOOM! BOOM!

Each interception by a分身 triggered a剧烈的爆炸 (jùliè de bàozhà -剧烈的爆炸)!The分身 were constantly shattered and消散 (xiāosàn -消散) by the powerful energy, but new ones instantly化生补充 (huà shēng bǔchōng -化生补充)! The destructive energy torrents were continuously击碎 (jī suì -击碎),格挡 (gédǎng -格挡),偏转 (piānzhuǎn -偏转) by countless golden-hooped staffs!The two combatants displayed their supernatural powers to the fullest! Cosmic laws对抗 (duìkàng -对抗) myriad changes! Infinite energy对抗无上神通 (duìkàng wúshàng shéntōng -对抗无上神通)! The aftershocks of the battle caused the void to crack with细密的黑色裂痕 (xìmì de hēisè lièhén -细密的黑色裂痕); distant stars seemed to tremble, as if重现了洪荒开辟 (chóngxiànle hónghuāng kāipì -重现了洪荒开辟),法则碰撞 (fǎzé pèngzhuàng -法则碰撞)的恐怖景象 (de kǒngbù jǐngxiàng -的恐怖景象)!The Black Order had long retreated to a great distance,心惊胆战 (xīnjīngdǎnzhàn -心惊胆战), unable to comprehend the level of this battle. The debris where Peter Parker was hiding was shattered by a stray shockwave; he had to desperately喷射蛛丝 (pēnshè zhūsī -喷射蛛丝), leaping狼狈地 (lángbèi de -狼狈地) between larger fragments, narrowly escaping death time and again to barely preserve his life.The more they fought, the more alarmed Thanos became. His opponent's methods were层出不穷 (céng chū bù qióng -层出不穷),变化多端 (biànhuà duōduān -变化多端), seemingly without limit! Even with the combined power of his Power and Reality Stones, he still couldn't gain an压倒性优势 (yādǎo xìng yōushì -压倒性优势)!"I must动摇他的根本 (dòngyáo tā de gēnběn -动摇他的根本)!" A厉色 (lìsè -厉色) flashed in Thanos's eyes. On the Infinity Gauntlet, the深邃的橙黄色光芒 (shēnsuì de chénghuángsè guāngmáng -深邃的橙黄色光芒) of the Mind Stone began to glow. An无形无质 (wúxíng wúzhì -无形无质)波动 (bōdòng -波动), aimed directly at the soul's origin,悄然弥漫 (qiǎorán mímàn -悄然弥漫), attempting to bypass all physical and energy defenses to干扰 (gānrǎo -干扰),侵蚀 (qīnshí -侵蚀) Sun Wukong's mind and will.The battle was about to enter the final, most perilous stage—the层面 of意志 (yìzhì -意志)!
