"Tony, are you alright?" Steve leaped off the ship and quickly made his way to Tony's side.
"I'm fine, not dead yet!" Tony forced a smile as he looked at Steve, his face contorted in a grimace. At the same time, he kept spraying the wound with a hemostatic freezing agent. The intense pain left his forehead beaded with sweat.
"Still making jokes, so you must be okay!" After confirming that Tony's condition wasn't too bad, Steve turned his head. At the same time, above them, a landing craft descended rapidly toward the ground. When it came to a stop, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight walked out.
"Forgive us, great Father, we did not intend to lead them here!" Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight quickly went to Thanos and knelt, begging for forgiveness. They truly hadn't expected these guys from Earth to follow them.
"It's fine. Since they have come, let them all stay here," Thanos said, shaking his head slightly. Since they had followed him, now was not the time to scold them. It was more important to deal with these nuisances and get the stones. After all, he wanted to end this here and now!
"Yes, respected Father!" Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight nodded solemnly and stood up, their eyes fixed on Tony and the others.
When they had noticed the ship following them, they had thought about getting rid of them. But because they had to get Vision back immediately, they didn't bother.
"Looks like this is going to be another tough fight," Steve said, gritting his teeth as he looked at Thanos. The fact that he was able to beat Doctor Strange and the others to this state showed how powerful he was.
"Ugh, why do these guys always come up with so many weird ideas?" Natasha said, shrugging her shoulders helplessly.
"How is Vision now?" Tony gritted his teeth, his voice raspy as he asked. He knew very well that the enemy would definitely come for Vision.
"Vision is still in their ship," Steve said slowly, looking at the ship in the distance. He guessed that the enemy had taken Vision but hadn't taken the Mind Stone off him immediately.
"In that case, let's hurry up and get to it!" Sam stretched his limbs, his expression becoming more and more solemn. This was a battle for their lives. Both sides looked at each other, slowly getting ready.
"Where are Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian?" Just then, Thanos suddenly noticed something and asked with a serious tone. After all, they had set off together, but had split into two teams to get the stones. But until now, he hadn't seen Ebony Maw or Cull Obsidian.
"They… they are already dead!" Corvus Glaive lowered his head, his voice trembling as he spoke. "We just detected that the ship has landed on Titan." The fact that these guys were here meant that the other two were dead.
Anger flickered in Thanos's eyes. He slowly raised his hand. "Kill them! Get the stones!"
Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian were his most trusted subordinates. He hadn't expected them to die at the hands of mere humans. When he came to Titan, he thought Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian had just failed. But he never expected that they were actually dead!
With a single command, dozens of large warships descended from space. As the beams from the warships flickered, more and more Outriders appeared behind Thanos. In just a blink of an eye, the battlefield was filled with enemies. The sight alone made one's scalp tingle.
"Looks like the enemy has a lot of cockroaches!" Gwen stood to the side, her scalp tingling as she looked at the dense crowd of enemies. "Are these things like cockroaches, just born in large numbers?!" She had a fear of crowded spaces, and seeing so many weird things made her feel uncomfortable.
"We should just take care of all these cockroaches so they don't go back to Earth and breed like crazy." Natasha said, pulling out her gun and gritting her teeth.
"In the end, it's still a case of the many bullying the few," Tony said with a hint of regret that he hadn't brought all his suits. If he had, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
"They're only here to take the hits. The real fight's still ahead." Steve said, gripping his shield. His expression became unusually solemn, because he knew very well where their disadvantage lay.
There were just too many enemies. Even with their power, there was no way they could fight so many of them. But even so, they absolutely could not give up, because he was still in the enemy's hands.
Besides, as long as the enemy hadn't gotten the Infinity Stones, they would never give up! He would rather this battle take place on Titan than on Earth.
"Charge!" Thanos picked up his double-edged sword, his right hand gripping it tightly. Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight led the charge, and the other Outriders quickly followed. As they began to run, the ground shook slightly. It was as if a mountain flood had erupted. All you could hear was the sound of their footsteps.
"Avengers, stop them!" Steve lowered his body and ran forward with a determined look on his face.
As for the others, they all chose to face the challenge. After all, at this moment, no matter what they chose, they had to fight to the last minute.
Although everyone knew that the outcome was death, they didn't want to give up. After all, they were going to die anyway, so why not fight to the death? Maybe there was a slight chance.
Star-Lord and the others also gritted their teeth and charged. They had no other choice now. Even if they ran, Thanos would never give them a chance. And this battle was also to avenge Gamora!
Steve was the first to charge into the Outriders, and he threw his shield.
WHOOSH!
With a sonic boom, several Outriders in front were knocked down by the shield. And Gwen shot a web at the warship still hovering above. With a swing, she used her momentum to land on top of the warship. After a short run, Gwen quickly arrived at the cockpit.
"Hello!" Gwen said, smiling and waving in front of the windshield. Then she made a fist with her right hand and smashed it against the glass.
BAM!
With a loud sound, the glass was shattered. And she gracefully jumped into the warship, taking out all the pilots inside. After quickly controlling it, she leaped out of the air. The redirected warship turned and crashed directly into Thanos's army.
BOOM!
When the ship crashed into the Outriders, dirt splattered everywhere, and countless Outriders were crushed into paste.
At that moment, Gwen took advantage of her descent and focused on the other warships. With a leap, the web in her hand pulled her toward the other warships.
Wong, on the other hand, used the Bolts of Balthakk. Countless lightning bolts jumped on the ground. This vast terrain was perfect for the lightning to spread. In just an instant, more than half of the Outriders were gone.
At the same time, Doctor Strange continuously made gestures with his hands not far away. A large amount of rain poured down from the sky. With the rain conducting electricity, the Bolts of Balthakk quickly spread to the other Outriders.
"Watch out!" Tony roared. He and Rhodey took a step forward. The armor on their backs quickly separated, and with the constant jumping of electricity, they formed a huge cannon.
"Tony, let's give them a good lesson!" Rhodey took a deep breath, a look of excitement on his face. As they charged, the huge energy tanks on their backs continuously rose. As the energy rose, a blue light quickly condensed in the cannon's barrel.
The moment this dazzling light appeared, a terrifying aura also condensed in the barrel. One could even see the light continuously jumping at the barrel, releasing unprecedented energy.
"Ready, Rhodey?!" Tony and Rhodey looked at each other and activated it at the same time.
BOOM!
A huge, brilliant beam of light instantly shot out from the barrel. The condensed energy formed a terrifying pillar of light!
Then, this terrifying ray went directly into the Outriders in the distance. The moment the Outriders touched the ray, they were instantly incinerated into dust by the high temperature. The ray swept through them like a vacuum cleaner. Where the ray passed, the Outriders instantly disappeared.
In just a blink of an eye, a large empty area appeared. It was as if someone had erased a part of the blackboard. Thanos's army was wiped out by one-fifth in just one instant! Only a few fragments were left in the area that was just swept.
Thanos frowned. He never expected that they would still have a chance to fight back, even in this situation.
"They really don't give up."
Anyone could see that this was a situation of certain death. But even without any hope, these guys were still trying to fight back. This made Thanos's patience run out.
"Looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty." Thanos looked at the continuous sweeping beam with a vicious look in his eyes. His expression became even more distorted. In just a few seconds, his army had been reduced so much. So he absolutely could not let these people continue to do as they pleased.
He crouched slightly, then with a powerful push, he leaped to the front of the battlefield. He stood in front of them, and a dazzling light came from the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand. And in just an instant, he turned the beam into dust, and it instantly disappeared.
BZZT!
The crimson Reality Stone burst with a bright light. An invisible force burst out, sweeping across the entire planet. In an instant, everyone became powerless. Their feet were encased in dirt, holding them in place.
"What the hell is going on?!" Natasha quickly tried to pull her feet out, but the dirt was like concrete.
"It's too hard!" Tony turned his hand into a shovel, but when he shoveled, he only managed to dig up a small piece.
"What stone is this?!" Rhodey was not okay. He never expected that Thanos had this kind of power. It was safe to say that everyone couldn't get out of the dirt for a while.
"It's time to end this endless farce." Thanos said, spreading his hands, his voice cold. He had originally thought about sparing their lives, but it was clear that there was no need for that now.
Besides, the only thing he wanted to do now was to get rid of all these people. To achieve one's dream, there would inevitably be sacrifices. Since someone was in his way, he wouldn't hold back!
The Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand began to condense a crimson light. The crimson light gathered a terrifying power. As the power gathered, the space around them quickly distorted, and even the air had violent fluctuations. It looked like a continuously churning lake.
With the spreading ripples of crimson light, the ground around them began to rapidly collapse. The ship not far away, upon coming into contact with this force, began to twist. It continuously spun, bent, and changed like a vortex. In just a blink of an eye, the ship had turned into a continuously extending iron piece.
CRACK!
With a crisp sound, the ship was compressed into an iron pancake, then it began to rapidly shrink. It was as if something was compressing it. With the crimson light's touch, it slowly dissipated into particles.
"Oh my god, what the hell is that thing?!" Tony looked up and felt a chill. Everything around them, be it steel bars or whatever, was distorted the moment it came into contact with the crimson light. And this terrifying crimson light was rapidly spreading toward them.
Steve gritted his teeth, his body turning red from struggling. Although the ground was showing some signs of loosening, there was still no way for them to escape.
"Hey, Sorcerer, think of something fast!" Even the usually calm Rhodey couldn't help but roar. He didn't even need to look to know that that thing was extremely dangerous, and they couldn't get out. There was no way they could even dodge!
"Shut up! I'm trying to think!" Stephen's mind was racing. He didn't know why, but this was not going according to his plan. One could even say that he had run countless simulations before coming here.
But he had never experienced this future. Although a lot of things were similar, something had changed them. It could even be said that what was happening now was completely beyond his expectations.
First, Wanda hadn't appeared. In his original prediction, Wanda should have appeared to buy them time. But that hadn't happened. And Vision should have died. But Vision was still in the landing craft.
He looked at his feet. What was happening in front of him was also something he had never experienced. Although he had been continuously using magic, the power of the stones was just too great. Because everyone was stuck in the dirt, there was no way for him to send them away through an Inter-Dimensional Portal!
It was over. Everything was over! Now all they could do was wait for death!
However, at that moment, a pillar of rainbow light descended from the sky. It landed right in front of them with a loud crash.
As the light slowly faded, a familiar figure appeared in front of them. Cassius walked out with Hela, Wanda, Thor, Loki, and the Asgardian army. He looked at everything in front of him. "Hey everyone, have you missed me since I've been gone for a few days?"
"Who is that?!" The moment Thanos saw Cassius, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
"Hey, Big Purple Potato, you're having a lot of fun, aren't you?" The corner of Cassius's mouth turned up slightly. He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
SNAP!
A dark red energy burst out, continuously spreading and undulating. The moment the dark red light and the crimson light collided, the dark red light actually dissipated the power of Thanos's Infinity Stones.
