Chapter 1205 Thanos Arrives on the Battlefield, Superheroes Are Crushed

Earth, Wakanda.

Just seconds before Thanos arrived via the Space Stone, Vision on the experimental table suddenly opened his eyes. "He's here."

"Who?" Su Rui asked in confusion.

"Thanos." Vision immediately sat up. Due to the surgery, he wasn't in good condition and looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness. "I need to get there right away."

“But the Mind Stone hasn’t been removed yet,” Su Rui said, pointing to the yellow crystal on his forehead. “You’re very weak right now, extremely weak. Are you sure you want to walk right into a trap?”

"It's too late, Su Rui."

"He's too powerful, they can't stop him." Vision said anxiously, "If I rush over now, I might increase our chances of winning."

But by the time he finds us, we won't even have the strength to fight back, and the outcome won't change.

“I’ll go too,” said the mantis.

"You?" Su Rui raised an eyebrow, expressing doubt about her abilities.

The mantis walked up to Su Rui and placed its hand on her forehead. "Sleep!"

boom!

Su Rui naturally collapsed onto the lab table and drifted off to sleep.

"let's go!"

Vision nodded and flew out of the window with him.

A blue portal appeared in the center of the battlefield, and a battered Thanos emerged from it.

Nick Fury, who had been monitoring the battle from the Helicarrier, was the first to notice Thanos. His nerves immediately started pounding when he saw the four Infinity Stones—red, blue, orange, and red—on his left hand. "He's here."

"Attention everyone, Thanos is here."

Right in the middle of the battlefield.

“Master.” Ebony Maw shook off Strange and used his telekinesis to lift himself up a wooden stake and deliver himself to Thanos.

He stared in surprise at Thanos's bloody wounds, tattered clothes, and undisguised exhaustion. "Master, how did you get hurt like this?"

"A misunderstanding," Thanos said succinctly. "An unnecessary misunderstanding."

"Is he the owner of that spaceship?"

“He’s powerful, but he’s in unprecedented trouble and shouldn’t have time to interfere with us,” Thanos said wearily. “Have you noticed anything unusual?”

"Who is the master?"

"It has a special ability, but it has nothing to do with technology, nor is it ordinary magic."

“Yes.” Ebony Maw nodded seriously, then looked to his side and rear, where a warship exploded and crashed after being hit by Carol. “It’s that woman.”

"It shouldn't be her," Thanos said uncertainly. He was looking for Gauss's retinue, someone who might jeopardize his plans.

While that woman is powerful, she doesn't quite fit the image of a family member, so the possibility is really slim.

"Then I have no idea. Is Master looking for someone?"

"It's nothing." Thanos shook his head, looking at the four Infinity Stones on the Infinity Gauntlet, his slight concerns vanished.

If Gaius can't handle it, there's no reason why his retinue can't handle it either!

"How is the situation now?"

"It's terrible. Our army has been almost completely wiped out, with only a small number of vanguard guards and Zeta Swiss soldiers left to fight in scattered positions."

Black Dwarf had one arm severed and was teleported to an unknown, icy wasteland.

Proxima Midnight was killed in action; Corvus Glaive's fate remains unknown.

Thanos pondered for a moment, "The losses are indeed heavy!"

"It's all worth it; it's their honor to sacrifice for their master."

"Thanos!" Peter Quill flew over angrily. "Where's Gamora?"

"Heh!" Thanos chuckled lightly. "Kid, I'm starting to admire you."

"Enough talk." Peter Quill pointed his gun at him. "Get Gamora out of here..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Peter Quill was sent flying by Ebony Maw using his telekinesis to control a tree stump.

Fortunately, Strange flew over at that moment and lashed out with a magical whip, pulling him back.

"Be careful during the fight."

“I saw you being strangled unconscious by a rattan cane before.”

Strange felt a pang of regret, regretting that he had just saved him.

"Find the holder of the Mind Stone, don't let him get away," Thanos said in a deep voice. "Leave the rest to me."

"Yes, Master." Ebony Maw bowed and then flew towards the rear of the battlefield.

Thanos looked at Strange, his gaze lingering for a moment on the Eye of Agamotto hanging around his neck. "The Time Stone."

"This doesn't belong to you. If you want it, come and take it!"

“You are no match for me, wizard.”

I don't have time to waste on you guys.

“Then let’s give it a try!” Strange assumed a fighting stance, with two Rings of Raghadore attached to his arms.

Thanos smiled contemptuously and then raised his clenched left fist.

Before he could launch an attack, a dense hail of bullets came from above, striking him with a crackling sound.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten high-explosive shells fell, and the flames of the explosions instantly engulfed him.

War Machine Rhodes flew gracefully through the air, "A piece of cake."

“If you’ve managed to provoke him, you’ve succeeded,” Peter Quill said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the raging flames were drawn into a vortex and then released by the Infinity Gauntlet.

The pillar of flame swept across, seemingly capable of destroying everything.

"Depend on!"

Rhodes cursed and immediately turned and flew away into the distance.

Laser mosquito killer—if it hits a war machine, it might be rendered useless.

Snapped!

A spider silk suddenly lashed out and wrapped around Thanos's left hand, blocking his attack.

Peter Parker landed a few meters in front of Thanos, struggling to pull on the spider silk and try to remove the Infinity Gauntlet.

But his strength was no match for Thanos'. Thanos pulled him over with just a slight tug and then sent him flying with a punch.

"Catch him," Strange said quickly, and the levitation cloak behind him chased after Peter Parker.

He then unleashed two Rings of Laggardor, followed by summoning the Holy Sword of Vishanti and slashing it at Thanos.

Thanos casually shattered the two magical rings, then grabbed the red blade. "Sorcerer Supreme, your magic is far inferior to his."

"Him?" Strange was surprised for a moment. It was the person who caused him these wounds, but wasn't it the Ancient One?

"Perhaps, but I'm not alone."

Several portals opened almost simultaneously around Thanos, and Drax was the first to rush out, his sharp dagger slicing across Thanos's calf.

Although it was just a white mark, it still caused Thanos a slight sting.

Meanwhile, Steve and Natasha launched their attacks.

The shield struck Thanos in the chest, causing him to stagger.

The electric shock plate struck Thanos's neck, releasing a blue electric current.

Thanos grunted, quickly removed the stun gun from his neck, and crushed it to pieces.

"What a joke, this skin is too thick!" Natasha said with a grim face. The 30,000 volts of current only made him pause for a moment.

"Fire."

Sam and Bucky went all out, but the bullets they fired only sparked countless sparks as they hit Thanos's purple skin, causing almost no damage.

"He's practically another Hulk; ordinary attacks probably won't be very effective."

"Ah!" Thanos roared, and the Power Stone on his left index finger shone with a purple light.

A purple shockwave spread out from him, and the terrifying energy blasted everyone surrounding him away, some even losing consciousness.

However, no one noticed that a thin layer of golden light flashed across Bucky's body as he flew away.

Whoosh!

An arrow suddenly shot from behind, but Thanos didn't even turn his head; he caught the arrow with one hand.

Beep beep!

The red light at the arrow flashed rapidly, followed by a violent explosion.

Caught off guard, Thanos was blasted away.

Before he could stand up, a portal opened behind him, and Peter Quill jumped out, attaching a bomb to Thanos's back.

Peter Quill, stepping on several magical shields, performed a front flip and landed, giving Thanos the middle finger. "Bang!"

boom!

A pale blue energy exploded behind Thanos, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

Another portal opened, and T'Challa jumped out of it.

The energy stored up in the Black Panther suit was released at that moment, and it slammed down on Thanos's head.

Boom!

A purple energy shockwave swept across the ground, shattering several larger rocks.

Thanos, who blocked the attack with one hand, seemed incredibly relaxed. As he stood up, he lifted T'Challa up and punched him into the ground.

At that moment, Tony Stark flew over, four long, cylindrical drones appearing behind him, firing simultaneously in conjunction with the pulse cannons in his hands.

"bring it on!"

Thanos braced himself with one hand in front of him, taking the brunt of the energy cannon's attack head-on, leaving a scratch more than ten meters long on the ground.

“King, why don’t you use a portal to send me here?” Tony asked.

"Do you think my magic is limitless?" Wang cursed breathlessly. "I already used up a lot of energy before, and just now I opened so many portals."

"My magic is depleted right now. If the portal becomes unstable, it could slice me in two. If I'm lucky, I'll be swept into spatial turbulence."

"Okay!" Tony shrugged nonchalantly and pulled T'Challa out of the ground. "Are you alright?"

"It's alright," T'Challa said, still shaken. "His body is very strong. We need more powerful weapons, otherwise we might not be able to break through his defenses."

“Leave it to me,” Tony said calmly. Wakanda’s vibranium resources were indeed abundant, a unique advantage for the country.

But when it comes to weapons manufacturing, Stark is the real expert.

“Stark,” Thanos said, looking at Tony with a meaningful expression.

"you know me?"

"Yes, you are not the only one burdened by the curse of knowledge."

"My only curse is you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the impact mechanism on Tony's back opened, and small missiles flew towards Thanos.

Thanos clenched his left fist, the Power Stone on his index finger gleaming, and unleashed a purple energy shockwave.

The missile swarm was annihilated the instant it came into contact with the purple energy, leaving only a few purple sparks in mid-air.

The shockwave continued forward, and Tony immediately activated a Knight's Shield to shield himself.

"Your Majesty, could you please go and find the others and tell them to wake up?"

"What about you?"

“We should be able to hold him off for a while,” Tony said gravely. “Fury, tell Carol to stop focusing on blowing up those ships and get her over here to help.”

"Understood." Nick Fury quickly sent a message to Carroll.

He was also in a terrible mood. The superhero who had been given so much hope was as easy to deal with as a child in front of Thanos.

If the Infinity Stones were used, most superheroes wouldn't even be a match for them, and wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Cutting off communications, Tony turned around with his shield raised, dodging the energy blast as he flew towards Thanos.

As he drew near, he brought his legs together, and his armor coalesced at his feet to form a booster, propelling him forward.

Thanos was pushed back a step, and Tony also did a backflip and landed on the ground, his armor on his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Then his armor transformed into hand hammers, which he slammed into Thanos's chest.

But before he could launch a second attack, Thanos quickly stood up and grabbed at his head.

Click!

Tony's head armor shattered, and nanoparticles quickly replaced it with another layer.

But then the Power Stone flashed again, and Thanos easily sent him flying with a single punch.

Tony's auxiliary flight wings on his back helped him stabilize his body, and he simultaneously aimed the nano-cutter in his left hand and the hand cannon in his right hand at Thanos.

Faced with the red laser and orange-red shockwave, Thanos simply raised his left hand and used the Infinity Gauntlet to defend himself.

The glove, capable of holding the Infinite Stones, is essentially a divine artifact. Combined with the energy released by the Power Stone, it forms a purple energy shield.

Thanos walked step by step to Tony, smashed the armor on his head with a punch, and then snatched the nanotech dagger that Tony was about to stab him into the abdomen.

Tony knelt on the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Thanos shook his head and kicked him away.

“I respect you, Stark.”

"After I'm done, half of humanity will survive. I hope they'll remember you." Thanos said, raising his left fist, and the four Infinity Stones lit up simultaneously.

"Need any help?" Rhodes' voice rang in Tony's ear.

"Of course I want it, hurry up."

War machines flew in from afar, their shoulder armor opening to reveal black bullet holes.

Thanos took a deep breath, somewhat impatiently, and then aimed his left fist at Rhodes.

As the Power Stone shone, purple energy enveloped Rhode, binding him in mid-air.

The missiles on his shoulder scattered around him as soon as they were launched, exploding one after another.

boom! boom! boom!

After a series of explosions, Rhodes flew through the air in an arc before crashing heavily to the ground.

Black smoke billowed from the war machine's armor, and sparks flashed continuously across its surface.

Tony: ......

"Rhodes, are you kidding me?!"

"Sorry, it only delayed me by a few seconds."

Just as Tony was about to say something, Carol, radiating dazzling energy, flew to his side.

“Well… how should I put it? These few seconds are still valuable,” Tony said half-jokingly, then looked at Carol, “If you had been a few seconds later, you might not have seen me at all.”

“I think it’s quite timely,” Carol said with a faint smile, she had absolute confidence in her own abilities.
