Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Eraser
Jack had never seen what a space thunderstorm looked like before, and he had a feeling that this would be his last time.
The dark red space was filled with dense lightning, and thunderclouds were everywhere, constantly releasing terrifying thunderstorms.
From time to time, he would also see two or more lightning bolts intertwining to form a terrifying thunderstorm, like an apocalyptic version.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Jack tried his best to find a living thing, even if it was just a non-living thing.
Unfortunately, apart from lightning, there were only thunderclouds that never vanished.Looking back, the Chitauri didn't dare to chase in, making Jack even more desperate.The Chitauri knew the danger here and didn't dare to step in easily.
The problem now is, what should he do?
The spacecraft is severely damaged, but it can still fly. Jack hesitated whether to turn back or continue forward.
Both options would have similar outcomes, but if he returned, there would be a higher chance of survival.
But he would rather die than be a prisoner under Thanos, and there's a possibility he will be controlled.
With a firm resolve, Jack drove the spacecraft with a determined expression and dived into the danger ahead, even if it meant death.
...
Meanwhile, outside the thunderstorm, the team of Chitauri stopped in their tracks, not daring to step into the thunderous area.
On the other side of the universe, Thanos received the news from his subordinates, and a hint of regret appeared on his face. "Such a pity," he said. Then he turned to face the cosmic sky, not saying another word, as if it was a trivial matter.
On the side of Xandar, they also received the news. Nova Prime let out a sigh of relief, with a complex expression on her face, not sure if she was ashamed or relieved.
Regardless of who they were, their reactions seemed to have one thing in common. They all thought that Jack was a dead
Was it really the case? It was close enough.
...
"Warning! Warning!"
"The spacecraft is severely damaged! The hull is damaged by nearly half!"
"The fuel tank leaked. The remaining fuel is less than ten percent!"
"Life support system failed!"
...
Jack tightly held onto the control lever, his face filled with rage and determination.
Alpha's warning repeatedly sounded in the cockpit, but Jack was too focused on one thing - how to make this damn ship fly further away.
That could increase his chances of survival.
His ship was already in a miserable state, with damage exceeding two-thirds of its surface area, most of its systems offline, and it was not far from being scrapped.
Everyone fears death, and Jack is no exception. But he didn't want to die in this lonely place.
He wanted to live, to get out and find Thanos to settle the score, to twist off his head and kick it like a ball.
There were still many joys he hadn't experienced yet.
And there were still many people he hadn't had a chance to meet.
Bang!!
An explosion came from below, and all the devices in front of Jack went dark instantly. The computer's alert tone was late to arrive.
"Explosion in the engine room!"
"The ship has lost power!"
After saying these last words, Alpha fell silent.
Jack slowly released the control stick and looked at the terrifying scene outside with a calm expression. He even breathed a sigh of relief.
Since traveling to the Marvel world, he has experienced several life-and-death situations. Every time he managed to turn danger into opportunity.
But this time...
Slowly, Jack took out a cigar from his storage. The cigar was marked with the Stark Industries logo.
It was a gift from Howard when he was promoted to Major.
Originally, he wanted to throw a party to celebrate, but the time was not good, so he promised to have a good time after defeating Hydra.
Initially, he also planned to go back to Earth, rescue Howard, and have a big party to celebrate. But now, it seems that there is no chance of that.
"Ding~Scratch!"
Taking out the lighter Colonel Phillips gave him, he lit the cigar and slowly put it to his lips.
"This story ended too quickly," he said.
"By the way, today seems to be the beginning of the month."
After taking a puff from his cigar, He suddenly thought of something. He closed his eyes, entering the "Multiverse Salvage Pool."
"Maybe this is the last time. It depends on how good you are!"
With the cigar in his mouth and a lazy look on his face, Jack picked up a salvage net and stirred it casually in the pool, then pulled it out.
Inside the net was a very hidden eraser that was almost used up.
Knowing the unpredictable nature of the Salvage Pool, Jack was not surprised at all.
This kind of situation was too common.
He couldn't say he was too disappointed, as he never expected to salvage anything good in the first place.
"Uh?!"
At that moment, a burst of information flooded Jack's mind. It was the information about this eraser. His facial expression instantly changed as he looked at the unremarkable and seemingly cheap eraser in his hand, remaining speechless.
No matter how you looked at it, this eraser seemed like something that could be thrown in the trash.
Jack thought it was just junk; if it was in his previous life, he wouldn't even consider buying something eraser like this.
However, this small eraser possessed an incredible function in this world.
At the end of its description, there was a small line that could easily be overlooked, but luckily, Jack noticed it.
"Erase all existence within the user's line of sight!"
"Number of uses: 1/100."
Jack's breathing slowly became more rapid, and his face gradually turned red.
If the eraser worked as described in the instructions, he could completely erase the terrifying thunderstorm clouds outside.
Then he wouldn't have to die.
He could live
However, he also knew that the most important thing now was to get out of this damn place.
Thinking of this, he returned to the outside world with the eraser as if he had found a treasure.
