Chapter 798 A Tragic Ending
Groot, the little tree, plunged his hands into the ground, which transformed into two thick vines that bound Thanos.
Thanos simply exerted force with both hands, and the vines binding him snapped instantly.
Wanda, watching her companions desperately buy her time, reluctantly extended her second hand and increased her energy output.
Captain America dodged Thanos's punch with a sliding tackle, then slammed his shield into Thanos's leg, followed by an uppercut that landed squarely on Thanos's chin.
Vision looked at Wanda, silently closed his eyes, and a single tear rolled down his cheek.
[On Captain America's side, Thanos reached out his left hand, which Captain America barely managed to block with all his might.]
Seeing Captain America's gritted teeth, Thanos was somewhat surprised that this human could withstand him, so he swung his right fist and delivered a heavy blow to Captain America's forehead.
Captain America simply collapsed onto the floor and fell asleep.
Wanda turned around and realized that all her companions who had bought her time had been defeated by Thanos.
[Forced to act, Wanda withdrew one hand and fired chaos magic at Thanos.]
Thanos decisively raised his left hand to use the Infinity Gauntlet to block, but was still knocked back a little over a meter by Wanda's immense power.
Thanos then regained his footing and began to advance despite Wanda's attacks.
Vision opened his eyes again and comforted her, "It's all right! I love you..."
Wanda was heartbroken and couldn't breathe, watching as the Mind Stone gradually cracked under her own attacks.
The cracks gradually widened and began to spread to Vision's body.
The Mind Stone shattered instantly, and a powerful burst of energy erupted from where Vision was.
After the energy wave dissipated, Thanos took a couple of breaths and walked towards Wanda, who was lying on the ground.
"I understand you! My child! I understand you better than anyone else!"
Wanda raised her head, staring at Thanos with eyes full of hatred.
"You'll never understand!!!"
Thanos nodded slightly upon hearing this and reached out his right hand to stroke Wanda's head.
"You can't imagine what I've lost today! But there's no time to mourn now! Time has no meaning now!"
[Having said that, he walked past Wanda, and as the Time Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet lit up, a ring wrapped around his wrist.]
He opened his palm towards the spot where the vision had disappeared, and a green magic circle appeared in his hand. As he slowly twisted his wrist, everything around him began to reverse.
[Due to the effects of the Time Stone, Vision, who had been blasted into pieces, reappeared there.]
"No!!!" Wanda tried to get up in shock and anger, but Thanos slapped her away, sending her flying more than ten meters.
"Oh my God!!! This is so cruel!"
"Wanda just killed the person she loved most with her own hands, only to find out in the end that everything she did was in vain!"
"There is no more painful thing in the world than this!"
"The Time Stone can reverse the destruction of other gems; isn't that just too overpowered?!"
The onlookers were astonished by this scene.
Strange tilted his head. "Now you understand why the Sorcerer Supreme insisted on protecting the Time Stone, right? Its importance is beyond question!"
“Yeah! But you handed it over!” Rhodes rolled his eyes. Although he knew Strange must have his own plan, he still couldn’t figure out how they could turn the tables.
Thanos possesses the six Infinity Stones, which means he controls the most powerful force in the universe. He can solve anything with a snap of his fingers. What the hell is that?
Unless Thanos is stupid enough to destroy the Great Wall and give up the Infinity Stones that he finally got his hands on, Rhodes can't think of any way they can win!
Having dealt with the troublesome Wanda, Thanos grabbed Vision by the neck and lifted him up.
"Ughhh!!!" Vision was powerless to resist Thanos and could only watch helplessly as he reached out his right hand to strike the Mind Stone on his forehead.
Thanos exerted force with his fingertip, tearing a hole in the hard vibranium with his immense strength. He then pried off the Mind Stone, and Vision's body immediately lost its luster, tossing it aside casually.
Thanos gazed upon the final piece of his grand scheme, placing it in the last slot of the Infinity Gauntlet.
The instant the six Infinity Stones came together, Thanos felt an unimaginable energy emanating from them, so immense that even the Infinity Gauntlet couldn't contain it all; colorful energy light floated directly on its surface.
Accompanying this powerful energy was intense pain, causing Thanos to roar to the heavens. It took his Titan body several seconds to withstand this overwhelming force.
Having just survived the energy shock, and before Thanos could even fully appreciate the combined power of the six Infinity Stones, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Thanos was caught off guard and blasted dozens of meters across the ground by the force of the impact.
It turned out that Thor, who was chasing the spaceship, noticed something was wrong and rushed back, but unfortunately, he was too late.
Thanos angrily rose and fired a beam of light from the six Infinity Stones at Thor in the sky. He had just gathered all the stones and thought himself invincible, but he never expected that someone could actually make him suffer.
Seeing this, Thor hurled Stormbreaker with all his might. The axe, carrying unimaginable kinetic energy, cleaved Thanos's energy beam head-on, then struck Thanos squarely in the heart.
Thanos couldn't believe that the power of all six Infinity Stones he possessed was no match for Thor's attack; he was severely injured by Thor's axe.
The Stormbreaker axe was embedded in Thanos's chest. Thor landed in front of him, held his head, and began to push the axe forward with all his might.
"I told you, you would pay for this with your life!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!" Thanos, who had never suffered such a severe injury, immediately screamed in agony, but he quickly overcame the excruciating pain with his willpower.
Thor, believing victory was assured, stopped his actions, unaware that this gave Thanos his final opportunity.
Thanos, barely clinging to life, looked at Thor and said, "You should...you should...you should have chopped my head off!!!"
[Having said that, Thanos raised his left hand, and Thor's pupils contracted. "No!!!"]
[The next second, a white light appeared.]
Thanos opened his eyes, instinctively touching his chest, only to find that the wound inflicted by Stormbreaker had disappeared.
His left hand, which was still in the snapping motion, was also empty; the Infinity Gauntlet had vanished.
Thanos looked around and found the area a vast expanse of red, stretching as far as the eye could see.
[Then he saw a figure with its back to him in the pavilion behind him. He slowly walked over and discovered that it was Gamora as a child.]
"Daughter?" Thanos was somewhat surprised that Gamora was here.
Gamora slowly turned her head. "You did it?"
"Yes!" Thanos said, bowing his head.
"What will be the price?"
Thanos looked up at Gamora upon hearing this, and declared, "Everything I have!"
Gamora smiled and nodded at him.
