Chapter 122 Shui Ming
Stunned, the Avengers and Wakanda soldiers reacted immediately.
There was no need for anyone to direct this kind of battle. Everyone roared and rushed towards the escaping vanguard monster.
Everyone needs to vent.
Either to vent out the precarious situation just now, or to avenge the clan members who died in the battle.
Even Captain America Steve had trouble controlling his emotions. He waved the shield in his hands and chased after the Vanguard with gritted teeth.
This clarion call for counterattack didn't stop the Avengers until something strange happened behind them.
In the science and technology center, Vision grabbed the 'Dead Blade General' by the neck and broke through the floor-to-ceiling window, and then fell from a high altitude into the forest.
"Vision!"
Wanda sensed the situation behind her immediately, so she couldn't help but panicked and exclaimed.
And her exclamation also made others pay attention to the situation behind them.
The Avengers stopped their pursuit and quickly rushed back.
Quicksilver Pietro was the first to arrive.
Almost as soon as Vision and General Deathblade stood up, he had already used his extreme speed to rush behind General Deathblade.
A 'chi' sound.
Two daggers instantly pierced the Deathblade General's back.
In order to prevent the Deathblade General's body structure from being different from humans, Pietro also deliberately pierced the opponent's left and right chests.
But it was obvious that the Deathblade General's heart was not in any weird position.
Therefore, under Pietro's surprise attack, General Deathblade screamed, then fell to the ground with a grin and died.
At this time, other people also rushed over.
Tifa and several other dolls arrived first thanks to their ability to teleport.
They first checked General Deathblade, and after others arrived one after another, Tifa pointed at General Deathblade's weapon.
“We have records of this weapon in our proceedings.
"
Tifa said in a gentle tone: "There is a soul hidden in this weapon. If the weapon is not destroyed, this alien will be easily resurrected."
"That weapon is very hard..."
Vision clutched his chest and collapsed under a big tree. He said with a painful expression: "And it's very sharp. My vibranium body was easily pierced by that weapon."
"It doesn't matter."
Natasha stepped forward and picked up the Deathblade General's weapon, then raised her hand and threw it to Wanda: "Leave it to you."
"Um!"
With a hint of hatred on her face, Wanda grabbed the weapon with both hands and suddenly exerted force.
The red light instantly enveloped the entire weapon.
Following Wanda's scream, the entire spear instantly shattered into pieces with a 'collapse' sound.
The howl of the soul suddenly appeared.
An illusory shadow flew out from the broken gun blade and quickly disappeared into the air.
Wanda threw away all the pieces and quickly ran to Vision to help him up.
Seeing this, Steve nodded, then looked up at the technology center on the cliff and said, "Wanda, take Vision back as soon as possible and continue to take off the gems."
Withdrawing his gaze, Steve looked at Wanda solemnly and said: "We are not considered a victory yet. Only by destroying the gems and bankrupting Thanos' plan will we truly eliminate the crisis in the universe!"
"I see."
Wanda nodded, red energy appeared in her hands, and she was about to fly back to the technology center with Vision.
"ah--"
Contrary to the expectations of everyone present, Vision suddenly screamed.
"Vision!" Wanda panicked: "What's wrong with you?!"
"He's coming!!" Vision covered the gem between his eyebrows with his palm, and he said painfully: "All the gems are approaching here at a very fast speed!"
Before everyone could react, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the direction behind everyone.
A dark blue fog-like portal appeared out of thin air.
Heavy footsteps sounded from the teleportation gate, and the next moment, Thanos's oppressive figure walked out of the teleportation channel.
But the most eye-catching thing is not his chin with vertical wrinkles, nor his purple skin.
What caught people's attention at first glance was the huge scar on Thanos' body from his right shoulder to his left waist.
At this time, Thanos slowly looked around the surroundings, and then focused on Vision, who was being supported by Wanda.
Ignoring the distance of about thirty meters between the two sides, and staring at the Mind Stone between Vision's eyebrows, Thanos said in an indifferent tone: "Hand over the stone, and you may be able to continue living."
"Captain!" Bruce Banner in the Hulkbuster armor quickly reminded: "That's him!"
Steve sighed.
He slowly walked towards Thanos and said firmly: "We refuse!"
As soon as the words fell, Steve immediately let go of his speed and charged.
Others also immediately took action.
Everyone started charging, and the flying ones also flew into the sky, aiming all weapons at Thanos.
In this regard, Thanos's mood remained unchanged. He also started his steps and stepped forward slowly.
Quicksilver Pietro was the first to take action again.
Without any mercy, he stabbed the dagger in his hand hard into Thanos' heart.
But the feeling coming from my hands was like stabbing leather with a wooden stick.
After a slight rebound, the dagger could not penetrate Thanos' body at all.
His body was injured, and Thanos also discovered Pietro in front of him.
He raised his hand and grabbed it with an indifferent expression.
This caused Pietro to instantly activate his extreme speed ability to dodge, and after circling in a direction, he attacked Thanos from behind.
Pietro was too fast.
During the process of Thanos reaching down, Pietro launched nearly twenty attacks on Thanos from different directions.
But no matter where he thrust the dagger, he couldn't break Thanos' skin defense.
Even if Pietro stabbed the dagger at a specific point, it would not work.
Seeing this, Pietro looked at Thanos in slow motion, gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Starting up at a very fast speed, Pietro rushed out for hundreds of meters in an instant, and then charged in the opposite direction.
He increased his running speed to the highest level, and a moment later, Pietro returned to Thanos again.
Then he jumped up hard and stabbed Thanos's eyeballs with the dagger in his hand.
The dagger approached Thanos' eyeball at high speed.
In Thanos' pupils, the figures of the dagger and Pietro were already reflected.
The next moment, a green light flashed suddenly.
Thanos' movements suddenly accelerated.
In other words, Thanos's speed is very normal, but Pietro's speed is actually extremely slow.
An angry look emanated from Thanos's eyes.
He looked at Pietro who was imprisoned in the air by slow time, and then Thanos raised his hand and grabbed Pietro's neck.
The green gem on the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand flashed slightly, and the time on Pietro's body instantly returned to normal.
Pietro, who was gritting his teeth, suddenly froze.
He stared at Thanos with suffocation, and couldn't help but show panic and despair in his eyes.
"Pete——"
Wanda's scream sounded from dozens of meters away.
But this could not save Pietro.
Click!
Thanos' right hand gently exerted force, and Pietro, who was struggling violently in his hand, suddenly lost all strength in his body.
With his limbs hanging limply, Pietro's body was casually thrown aside by Thanos.
"Thanos——"
Bruce Banner piloted the 'Hulkbuster Armor'. He turned on the thrusters and arrived in front of Thanos before anyone else.
With a roar, Bruce Banner controlled the suit and punched Thanos in the face.
However, Thanos just waved his left hand and controlled the 'space gem' on his glove to illusoryly transform Bruce Banner and his armor together.
The illusory Hulkbuster armor passed through Thanos' body, and was controlled by Thanos and submerged into a rock wall.
Reality and reality changed instantly, and the Hulkbuster armor grew into the rock wall in an instant, completely losing the ability to move.
Next, Thanos easily used the power of gems to knock everyone away.
Even Natasha couldn't avoid it. Thanos embedded her into the stone wall like he did with the Hulkbuster.
In the face of Tifa's five dolls, Thanos also used the "Reality Stone" to change them into plastic materials.
Thanos walked forward slowly.
He defeated one Avenger after another as if he was cutting through obstacles.
After the last punch knocked Steve into a brief coma, Wanda was finally the only one left between Thanos and the gems.
At this time, Wanda was crying with grief on her face, and at the same time released energy with her hands, destroying the Mind Stone in accordance with Vision's request.
Thanos looked at the situation and honestly, he was touched by the love.
Especially at this moment when he had just lost his beloved daughter, the relationship between Wanda and Vision made Thanos very sympathetic.
Therefore, the look on his face became soothing, and the previous impatience was gone.
Thanos paused for a moment, but continued to step forward.
Emotions are emotions, but they are nothing in the face of reason and great cause.
Thanos can sacrifice even his favorite daughter in exchange for the Soul Stone, not to mention the love between Wanda and Vision.
His eyes regained their determination, and Thanos took a slightly wider step.
In response, Wanda wailed, stretched out an arm, and hit Thanos with a burst of crimson energy.
Sensing the power of that energy, Thanos was shocked, and he quickly put his left hand in front of him.
Simply calling on the power of the 'space gem' opened an energy shield in front of him.
Thanos met the crimson energy with his shield, but he was still pushed backwards by Wanda's power.
After a moment of stalemate, amidst Wanda's cry of collapse, the Mind Stone suddenly made a crisp sound.
boom--
The huge energy shock wave spread, and the Mind Stone was finally completely shattered by Wanda's ability.
The impact of less energy dissipates.
Wanda was devastated at this time.
She didn't care about anything outside, she just sat there sobbing in a daze.
Thanos straightened up and looked at Wanda with compassion for a moment.
Slowly coming to Wanda's side, Thanos gently stroked her hair: "I understand your child, and I understand the feeling of losing a loved one better than anyone else."
"You'll never understand!"
Wanda finally came to her senses, her voice was full of hatred, but her eyes were extremely empty.
Thanos sighed slightly: "What I lost today is beyond your knowledge, but now is not the time to mourn."
He straightened up and continued walking. He walked to the place where Vision was blown to pieces, and raised his hand to activate the ability of the 'Time Stone'.
Time reversal occurred in a small area.
Vision's body began to come together from the fragments, until the Mind Stone between his eyebrows was restored to integrity.
Wanda, who witnessed this scene, suddenly reacted.
She screamed, "No!"
Too anxious, Wanda completely forgot about her abilities at this moment.
She actually pounced directly on Thanos' back.
But Thanos had already hardened his heart and waved his hand back without looking back, knocking Wanda away and falling into a coma.
Then, Thanos grabbed Vision's neck with his gloved left hand and placed two fingers on the gem between Vision's eyebrows.
Amid Vision's screams, Thanos exerted his strength.
Click!
His fingers broke through Vision's vibranium skin and successfully took off the Mind Stone.
The newly resurrected Vision once again lost the breath of life.
Throwing away Vision's body, Thanos slowly embedded the gem into the Infinity Gauntlet.
The six gems gathered together, and a huge amount of energy overflowed from the glove and poured into Thanos' body, causing Thanos to roar in pain.
After a few seconds, Thanos adjusted to the sharp pain, and he looked down at the glove in his hand.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from high altitude, instantly hitting Thanos' chest and sending him flying away.
Saul arrived late.
But it’s not his fault.
Because Sol didn't have a headset, he didn't know what was happening here in the back mountain.
Before, he had been massacring the vanguard guards to vent his anger.
It wasn't until all the troop transport spacecraft were destroyed that Thor began to look for everyone.
But he couldn't find it at all for a while.
It was the explosion of the Mind Stone that made him find the right direction and rush over as quickly as possible.
But he was still a step too slow.
In the short time he flew here, Thanos had successfully collected all the gems.
So Thor could only launch a surprise attack from the air.
At this time, after using thunder to knock Thanos down, Thor raised the Storm Ax high in the air.
He poured all his strength into his arms.
Aiming at Thanos below, Thor roared and threw the Storm Ax towards Thanos with all his strength.
Thanos got up in embarrassment and had no time to use more moves. He could only simply release the energy in the Infinity Gauntlet.
The energy pillar met the battle ax in the sky, but in the face of Thor's full blow, Thanos' hasty attack was simply unable to resist.
As a result, the Storm Battle Ax pressed the energy beam back all the way, and after a moment, there was a "chi" sound.
A muffled sound appeared and the energy beam disappeared.
At this time, the Storm Ax and the ax blade were deeply embedded in Thanos's chest.
Thanos knelt on one knee weakly.
Thor landed directly in front of Thanos.
He looked straight at the half-kneeling Thanos, raised his left hand to hold the opponent's back, and pressed his right hand to the hammer head of the Storm Axe.
With a little force, he pushed the Storm Ax further into Thanos' body.
Listening to Thanos' conditioned scream of pain, Thor roared with deep hatred: "I said! Thanos! You will pay for the lives of all the people you killed! I will kill you with my own hands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Thor pushed the ax blade deeper, causing Thanos to scream in agony again.
It wasn't until the ax blade got stuck on Thanos' spine that Thor temporarily stopped increasing his strength.
Thanos got a brief respite.
He weakly raised his hand and pushed Sol's chest, slowly lowered his head to look at his chest, and said weakly and intermittently: "You and your sister made the same mistake..."
Looking up at Thor, Thanos smiled sarcastically.
The left hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet was lifted by Thanos without knowing the right moment.
In Thor's astonishment, Thanos said softly: "You should just chop off my head..."
Snapped!
A crisp finger snapping sound suddenly appeared.
Huge energy burst out instantly from the center of the Infinity Gauntlet.
The energy instantly flooded the earth and spread rapidly throughout the universe.
When Thor recovered his vision from the energy burst, he immediately saw the glove on Thanos' hand that seemed to have melted.
"What did you do!!!" Sol asked urgently.
However, Thanos did not give any response.
He used his remaining strength to activate the gems on his gloves again, opening a teleportation channel behind him.
Leaning back, Thanos immediately threw himself into the passage.
The passage quickly closed, and Thanos' figure was lost in front of Thor, leaving only his Storm Ax.
At this time, Steve, who woke up from a coma due to the energy shock, came over.
He held the broken position of his left rib, looked around and asked, "Where did he go?"
Thor didn't respond. At this time, his expression was full of panic that something bad had happened.
After listening to Thanos' words and seeing the snap of fingers, Thor had already recalled what he heard from Gamora after being rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Gamora said that once Thanos collects all the gems, half of all life in the universe will be killed with just a snap of his fingers.
Now that the snap has started because of his negligence, Thor can't help but feel deeply confused, as if the entire universe has to pay the price because of his negligence.
as expected.
At this time, the figure of Bucky, the Winter Soldier, appeared from a distance.
After calling Steve, Bucky had no time to say more, and his body suddenly flickered and dissipated like shreds of paper.
Bucky's disappearance isn't the only one.
Next, flickering scenes continued to appear all around.
Black Panther T'Challa, little tree man Groot, Wanda holding the bodies of Vision and Pietro, and Falcon Sam.
The people nearby flickered and disappeared one after another.
Further away, large-scale flickering occurred in Wakanda, whether it was the remaining soldiers or civilians hiding in shelters.
In less than a minute, the population of the entire universe suddenly shrunk by half.
…
"I should chop his head off..."
Natasha and Bruce Banner were rescued by Thor splitting the rock wall.
After all the survivors gathered together, Thor sat on the ground holding his head and murmuring as if in a daze.
He fell into deep regret.
Not only did he fail to kill Thanos, but he eventually escaped. The most serious thing is that he made a mistake that will be paid for by the entire universe.
At this moment, if there was not still hatred in his heart that could not be vented, Thor would have collapsed long ago.
Others were also silent at this time.
Everyone has lost their companions. Except for Natasha and Bruce Banner, who were just rescued, almost everyone has a handful of ashes in their hands.
At such moments, all words become insignificant.
I don't know how long the silence lasted. No one said anything. They just stood up silently to help Wakanda handle the funeral affairs.
Two days passed in a flash.
Fortunately, the previous queen of Wakanda was not wiped out, so in the past two days, the Avengers helped the queen stabilize the country's problems.
The Avengers then left Wakanda with an apologetic farewell.
Natasha, Steve, Colonel Rhodes, Thor, Rocket the raccoon, Bruce Banner.
A group of six people returned directly to the Avengers base on the outskirts of New York.
There are still many things for everyone to deal with next.
Because not only Wakanda, half of the world's population has disappeared. In this period, all countries are experiencing internal chaos.
Natasha and others first called people they knew to learn about the situation.
Those who can't answer the phone have obviously disappeared in this flickering incident.
As for those who could answer the phone, Natasha and the others would rather they didn't.
Because everyone is very broken, everyone has lost relatives, lovers, or even children.
What came out of every phone call was that hysterical breakdown.
When Natasha dialed Clint's number, she couldn't help crying silently.
Because Clint was so miserable, he was the only one left in the family of five, and his wife Laura and three children all disappeared.
Listening to Clint's lifeless tone on the phone, Natasha couldn't help but feel worried.
Not knowing how to comfort the other person, Natasha finally had no choice but to escape.
She hung up the phone in a hurry with the excuse that she had too many things to deal with.
After barely regaining her composure, Natasha immediately threw herself into work.
She needs to numb herself with busyness.
Therefore, all the work of cooperating with the military and government in the investigation fell on her alone.
…
The fourth day after the Twinkle Incident.
A figure flashed in the study room on the fourth floor of the hospital.
Kewen, who had been hiding for nearly a week, finally came out of the 'Rubik's Cube Space' to the outside world.
Before he could understand the information from the outside world, he was immediately rendered speechless by the figures in front of him.
The images of Uozhihua Retsu and the others are very miserable.
Missing arms and legs is considered a good thing, but Miss 2b has already lost her head.
"What happened?" Ke Wen couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Someone can break your vibranium body? Who attacked the hospital?"
"Sir, it's Thanos."
With her right arm hanging in disbelief, Tifa replied calmly: "Miss Natasha summoned us to go to Wakanda for support."
"In the final moments of the battle, Thanos changed the texture of our bodies."
"Under the plastic material, everyone suffered varying degrees of damage."
Ke Wen finally understood.
He didn't expect that Natasha would ask Tifa and the others for help...
