Chapter 1141: We Can Do This

This time, the Magical Portal connecting this base from Washington remained open for a relatively long duration. This was because, in addition to Lin Rui’s team, SHIELD had also assembled a group to join them, similar in nature to the Iron Man soldiers Tony had arranged for the Spaceship.

As everyone emerged from the Magical Portal, Lin Rui quickly summarized the situation with Star-Lord once again for everyone.

It had been about ten minutes since Lin Rui received Star-Lord’s first message, and within these ten minutes, Lin Rui had received two more messages from Star-Lord, each highlighting the urgent peril they were facing. Time was running short, and there was no room for further delay.

“Now that everyone is aware of the situation, this mission takes us into the cosmos to face an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. However, I believe we will emerge victorious. Moreover, I’ve informed the Sorcerers, and Ancient One will surely take action,” Lin Rui exclaimed while standing on the lowered ladder beneath the Spaceship.

Despite initially having given up on confronting Dormammu, their trust in Lin Rui had led them to reconsider. This time marked the biggest adversary their alliance had faced since its inception. Sacrifices might be inevitable, yet to safeguard Earth, Lin Rui and the team had no room for regret.

“Then… let’s go!” Encouraged by the trust and encouragement in their comrades’ eyes, Lin Rui took a deep breath and shouted.

Subsequently, Lin Rui positioned himself on the side of the lowered ladder. Much like a captain, he watched his teammates enter the Spaceship one by one. Finally, once everyone but Lin Rui and Jack had entered the ship, he turned his attention to Jack.

“Jack, why aren’t you getting in? Your current strength isn’t enough to open a Magical Portal to the cosmos. You go on; I’ll be fine,” Lin Rui smiled and reassured Jack, who stood beside him.

For this rescue mission concerning Star-Lord, Lin Rui indeed needed to pilot the Spaceship. However, if they were to launch the Spaceship and fly it to Star-Lord’s location off Earth, the battle would have concluded before their arrival.

That’s why Lin Rui had Captain Rogers hand him the Magic Cube. Apart from Blink and the Sorcerers, Lin Rui could also use the Magic Cube to open a Portal. Furthermore, by harnessing the spatial power of the Magic Cube, the Portal Lin Rui opened could span longer distances.

In this mission, Lin Rui was responsible for opening a Portal large enough for the Spaceship to pass through. The Spaceship only needed to enter the Spatial Portal, enabling them to instantaneously appear in the starry expanse where Star-Lord and Dormammu were entangled.

“I need to pick up someone, just a few seconds.” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Jack responded briefly and immediately conjured a Magical Portal behind him.

Whoosh~

Without stepping through the Magical Portal, Jack merely seemed to be opening a Portal for someone. However, through this Magical Portal, Lin Rui caught sight of a room layout that seemed oddly familiar on the other side. Then, a robust figure materialized in front of Lin Rui – it was Thor! Jack’s person of interest was Thor!

“While I’m not entirely familiar with this Dormammu’s strength, Jackson, you fought me just to ask for my help with him, didn’t you?” Thor, who had emerged from the Magical Portal, approached Lin Rui and asked in a calm tone, addressed the slightly surprised Lin Rui.

“Well, now that you’re here, better get inside quickly; we’re running out of time!” Lin Rui responded swiftly. Although Thor’s powers hadn’t fully recovered to their peak, his willingness to assist was certainly better than nothing.

Without further ado, Thor and Jack nodded at Lin Rui and swiftly entered the Spaceship, leaving Lin Rui standing alone outside the lowered ladder.

Hu~

After everyone had boarded the Spaceship, Lin Rui silently watched as the ladder behind him rapidly ascended and retracted, while the airlock door sealed shut. At this moment, all engines of the pre-warmed Spaceship were operational, under J.A.R.V.I.S’s precise control. In the next moment, the Spaceship could take to the skies.

“J.A.R.V.I.S, we’re ready to go.” Lin Rui inhaled deeply as he floated above the ground, just beneath the platform, and calmly stated.

“Understood, Jackson.” As soon as Lin Rui finished speaking, J.A.R.V.I.S’s response echoed in his earpiece.

Click, click, click!

In the next instant, the ceiling directly above Lin Rui split open in sections, mechanical sounds echoing as the panels rotated and folded back, revealing the layer above, which was similarly opening up.

As the ceiling above Lin Rui gradually opened, he shot upwards, ascending through three thick layers of the ceiling until he reached the airspace above the base.

Suspended several hundred meters above the Spaceship on the ground, Lin Rui swiftly scanned his surroundings before reaching his waist. From his personal space, he summoned the Magic Cube, which now rested in his hand.

While Lin Rui had previously used the Magic Cube’s power to establish stable Spatial Portals, those Portals had been limited to Earth’s distances, and they were much smaller.

However, this time, Lin Rui had to span light-years in distance and create a Portal large enough to accommodate the Spaceship. Consequently, Lin Rui was feeling quite a bit of pressure.

“Inhale, exhale! No matter what, this time we’re giving it our all! We can do this!” Lin Rui took a couple of deep breaths, silently encouraging himself.

“J.A.R.V.I.S, Please note that the appearance of the Spatial Portal might only last for a split second. You must seize the opportunity.” After bolstering his spirits, Lin Rui exchanged a final word with J.A.R.V.I.S.

“Understood, Jackson.”

“Alright, let’s get started!” With J.A.R.V.I.S’s affirmation, Lin Rui hurled the Magic Cube upward.

Swish!

The Magic Cube thrown by Lin Rui was halted a meter above his head by a surge of deep Azure energy. The Magic Cube emitted a dazzling blue radiance that intermingled with the profound Azure hue of Lin Rui’s internal energy, creating the impression of a priceless gem suspended in midair.

As Lin Rui threw the Magic Cube, preparing to activate the Spatial Portal, the Spaceship remained stationed on the underground level of the base. Powered by its anti-gravity engines, the Spaceship adjusted its posture.

Once lying flat on the ground, it now lifted its proud head, aligning itself almost ninety degrees towards Lin Rui in midair above. At the rear of the Spaceship, engines powered up and switched continuously, primed for the upcoming acceleration.
