Your portable library contains more than ten thousand volumes.
Immortals fight, mortals suffer.
This statement is true no matter where you look. But when those two magnificent figures, which dyed the entire world gold and black, confronted each other high in the sky, the heroes and villains below, who were still fighting bitterly, could only cry out in despair.
Thanos punched a Black Panther who was trying to rush up to grab the gauntlet, sending him flying—T'Challa's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the depths of the ruins.
But he didn't even have time to glance at the results of the battle; his gaze was fixed on the two figures in the sky.
The mere presence of those two auras made everyone feel as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
Even Thanos wasn't used to it.
He looked down at the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand.
The six gems still shone brightly, but he dared not use them at full power.
I was afraid that if I used too much force, I would completely break the already fragile glove.
Although in theory he could still charge it with the Power Stone and reshape it with the Reality Stone to create a completely new gauntlet...
But it meant nothing to him anymore.
All of this had long since become meaningless due to the appearance of the two beings in the sky.
He has already missed the best opportunity.
In the sky, the golden being named Puni and the black being named Sorenson were absolutely terrifying beings comparable to the Celestials who created their Titan race.
Thanos's chest heaved violently, and a rare look of frustration and resentment flashed across his purple face.
Why?
Why do these guys always have to show up?
Why can't we just give the universe the power of choice to life within it?
Other villains might just be making self-deprecating remarks about not being worthy of their positions.
But Thanos is different—he really has reason to argue like that.
In his eyes, everything in this universe had long since become stagnant and decaying.
Those corrupt ruling classes occupy the top, devouring the resources of heaven and earth like gluttons, but never knowing how to give back.
Only by tearing everything down and starting over can there be new hope.
So he came.
He arrived across time and space with such a grand dream and such a powerful army, taking the place of his failed self, all to complete what had been interrupted.
Then--
His scenes were stolen.
Thanos stared intently at the two opposing black and white "super suns" in the sky, his anger almost bursting from his eyes.
Not far behind him, Dean was looking up at the two figures, his eyes, hidden behind metal masks, flickering with complex emotions. Zog and Allison huddled behind him, not daring to breathe.
"Boss..." Allison asked cautiously, "Should we... run?"
Dean was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"No rush." His voice was eerily calm. "Let them fight first."
He paused, his gaze falling on Sorenson, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "This Sorenson guy... might not necessarily lose this time."
In the sky.
Golden light clashed violently with black mist.
Each impact creates a visible energy ripple in the sky, which spreads out and even tears the clouds to shreds.
Puni's six tentacles unfurled, and the runes at the end of each tentacle were flashing wildly.
The Holy Spirit Demon Flash transformed into countless beams of light, enveloping Sorenson like a net.
Sorenson sneered, and his grayish-white tentacles lashed out violently.
Dark energy condensed into countless sharp blades, colliding with, tearing apart, and annihilating the beam of light.
"Puni!" His voice was hoarse and somber. "Hundreds of years have passed, and you're still as strong as ever!!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared behind Puni, his gray-white tentacles coiling around Puni's body like venomous snakes!
Puni didn't even turn his head.
A golden tentacle lashed out instantly, striking Sorenson hard and sending him flying hundreds of meters away.
"You're the same," Puni's voice was ethereal and calm, "still so weak."
Sorensen steadied himself, and the smile on his face became even more ferocious.
"Yeah?"
He raised his hand, and grayish-white energy condensed into a huge ball of light in his palm—it was a corrupted version of the Holy Spirit's Flash, with crimson lightning mixed in with the pitch-black energy.
"Then let's try this!!"
The ball of light roared out!
A hint of seriousness flashed in Puni's eyes. He raised all six tentacles simultaneously, golden energy coalescing into a massive barrier before him—
boom--!!!
The moment the two energies collided, the entire sky seemed to darken.
The shockwave spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, extending from the Earth's surface all the way into the depths of space.
The clouds along the way were torn apart, the atmosphere was shaken, and even the moon was affected.
When the shockwave passed over the lunar surface, it carved a deep trench in the moon.
The Inhuman city of Attilan trembled violently.
Black Bolt the Bolt suddenly looked up, his deep eyes fixed on the moon shell above him.
He could sense that those two auras were so powerful that they made his heart tremble.
The big dog, Tetanus, squatted at his feet, whimpering softly.
Queen Medusa strode over, her long, scarlet hair moving without wind. Her expression was grave: "Something seems to have happened on Earth."
Black Bolt remained silent.
Or rather, he remained silent throughout.
Because once he opens his mouth, it emits devastating sound waves.
He raised his hand and made a gesture.
Tetanus understood and instantly disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, it reappeared, accompanied by a shaken scout.
The scout gestured wildly, speaking rapidly:
"There's a fight on Earth over something called the 'Infinity Stones'! It's said that if six of them are gathered together, a wish can be granted! A warlord from another dimension has already obtained the stones, and he wants to use them to make a wish—to destroy all life and start anew from the ruins!"
Black Bolt frowned slightly.
He was silent for a moment.
Then, he raised his hand and made a gesture.
That was Attilan's highest command—
The entire army is mobilized.
In the blink of an eye, the Inhumans' spaceship took off from the lunar surface, traversed the void, and jumped directly to the Earth.
When those strangely shaped spaceships appeared in the sky above the battlefield, everyone was stunned.
Thanos gripped his gauntlet, watching warily the two figures still locked in combat in the sky—he had made up his mind that once those two finished fighting, he would seize the opportunity to snap his fingers no matter what.
Then he saw those spaceships.
There were also all sorts of strange creatures rushing out of the spaceship.
A man whose body was engulfed in flames.
A woman who can change her body shape at will.
A boy riding a sonic skateboard.
There was also a huge dog.
As soon as these guys landed, they began a frenzied attack on the Vanguard Guards and the Zeta Swiss soldiers.
Flames scorched, shapes twisted, sound waves vibrated, and the giant dog's claws tore apart any enemy that stood in its way.
"Reinforcements?!" Tony Stark's eyes widened, but he immediately frowned. "Wait... where did these guys come from?"
"Who cares!" Scott Lang's voice came from the miniature form. "They're here to help, that's all that matters!"
Thanos had no interest in these matters.
He punched a red and blue figure that was trying to snatch the glove with a spider silk, sending it flying—the little spider rolled a few times on the ground before struggling to get up again.
Thanos took a deep breath and raised his left hand.
"I am—"
His voice had just rang out—
"roar--!!!"
A terrifying roar swept in like a tsunami!
That sound wasn't an ordinary roar—it was sound waves, pure, destructive sound waves!
It came rushing towards us like a tangible force, continuous and relentless, like a raging storm!
Thanos's body suddenly trembled.
The power of the sound waves far exceeded his imagination—it didn't just vibrate his eardrums, it directly shook his body, his soul, and every cell in his body! The surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the sound waves, and the rubble on the ground was suspended as if weightless before being pulverized!
Thanos couldn't even utter a single word.
He instinctively released his left hand, covered his ears tightly with both hands, squatted down, and curled up into a ball to resist the sound waves that were enough to tear his soul apart.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the one who had roared—
It was a man in a black uniform, hovering in mid-air, arms outstretched, mouth wide open. His face was cold and stern, his eyes tightly closed—as if even he dared not open them, for fear of being hurt by his own voice.
Black Bolt.
The king of the Inhumans.
Behind him, Medusa's scarlet hair danced like a living thing, and Tetanus crouched at her feet, baring his teeth and letting out a low growl.
"A great opportunity!!"
A golden figure burst forth from the ruins!
Captain Marvel Carol Danvers – After a short period of rest, most of her wounds have healed, and golden light has once again ignited around her.
She crashed into Thanos, who was curled up on the ground, like a shooting star!
One punch!
It slammed hard into Thanos's knee!
That was the most standard move in military boxing—but when Captain Marvel unleashed it, its power was enough to shake mountains!
Thanos grunted and knelt on one knee.
But before he could react, the second punch had already landed!
The punch landed on his abdomen, and purple blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!
The third punch! The fourth punch! The fifth punch!
Carol's fists rained down on Thanos like a storm, each punch carrying the power to pierce stars! Her eyes burned with golden flames, and every cell in her body roared madly—
"This punch—is for those you killed!!"
boom!!
"This punch—is for those you've hurt!!"
boom!!
"This punch—is for all the lives you have trampled upon!!"
boom!!!
Thanos was pinned to the ground and brutally hammered. Purple blood splattered everywhere, and his body smashed deep craters into the ground.
Meanwhile, Black Bolt's sonic waves continued to vibrate in his ears, the endless sound waves like an invisible hammer, striking his soul again and again.
Thanos was inwardly groaning in despair.
Damn it, is this ever going to end?!
In the sky, Puni and Sorenson were still locked in combat.
On the ground, the heroes and the Inhumans continued their frenzied attack.
And he-
This person should have been the main character today—
They were pressed to the ground and rubbed against it.
A drop of liquid slid down Thanos's cheek at some unknown time.
It might be blood.
It might be sweat.
It's also possible—
It is tears.
