Chapter 124 - Thanos's Efforts Come to Nothing; The Pressure from Cassius!

The dark red Phoenix Force quickly surrounded the crimson light. At the same time, where the Phoenix Force passed, green grass grew. The life force met with the power of the distorted reality, and it was able to turn all that energy into life energy.

Furthermore, the originally cracked ground began to heal the moment the Phoenix Force appeared. The solid ground also became soft at this moment, allowing everyone to pull their feet out.

In just a few seconds, everything as far as the eye could see turned into a green grassland. As a gentle breeze blew, the green grass swayed continuously. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"How is this possible?! What kind of power is this?!" Thanos had forgotten Cassius's mockery. Instead, he looked around with a look of disbelief. He hadn't seen Titan covered in green grass for many years. What surprised him even more was that the opponent's power was able to resist the power of the stones!

In fact, this power was even greater than the power of the stones!

"Cassius, you're finally here, kid! I almost died!" The moment Tony saw Cassius, the stone in his heart finally dropped. He had thought he was a goner. He never expected Cassius to show up.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, it'll be hard for you to die." Cassius walked to Tony's side with a smile and casually placed his hand on his shoulder.

In the next second, the Horse Talisman flashed on his wrist. The incredibly painful abdomen and internal injuries were now completely healed.

"It's just... healed?!" Tony held his abdomen, a look of disbelief on his face. He never expected Cassius to have this kind of power. He knew his abdomen had been pierced, and he was only holding on by relying on the freezing fluid.

"Of course!" Cassius took his hand back and casually put it in his pocket.

"You really know how to make an entrance!" Seeing Cassius's listless and lazy look, Tony couldn't help but punch him in the chest. He had wanted to contact Cassius, but he couldn't get a hold of him. But thankfully, Cassius had finally shown up at this critical moment.

"I had no choice. You guys were in such a hurry," Cassius said, shrugging his hands helplessly. He hadn't expected Thanos to be so fast. When he got the news, he had planned to come alone. But Wanda and the others insisted on bringing everyone, which delayed him a bit.

"You're finally here..." The moment Stephen saw Cassius, he plopped down on the ground, his usual demeanor gone. The rest of the battle wouldn't require them to get involved. He had seen how powerful Cassius was.

"Well, what should you call me?" Cassius turned to look at Stephen, saying with a half-smile.

"Godfather..." When Stephen said the word, everyone was stunned for a moment, then they burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, godfather!" Tony laughed out loud when he saw Stephen's sullen face. He and Cassius were friends. So if you looked at it that way, his status was even higher than Stephen's.

"Looks like Doctor Strange's rapid progress in power is all thanks to Mr. Cassius's guidance!" Even Barton couldn't help but smile. After all, Doctor Strange usually put on airs. He always had a stern face and looked arrogant when he spoke. And now he was forced to call someone else his godfather.

Stephen looked at everyone's expression, and his face became even more awkward. But he had no other choice. It wasn't a bad thing to have a big shot as your godfather.

"Cassius!" Just then, a white figure quickly ran over and leaped into Cassius's arms.

"Gwen? What are you doing here?" Cassius was truly surprised that Gwen was here. Peter Parker had appeared in the Marvel universe before. But this was not the same timeline, and it had been replaced by Gwen.

"I came to help!" Gwen took off her mask and stood on her tiptoes proudly.

"Are you hurt?" Cassius carefully looked at Gwen's voluptuous body. If that Purple Potato dared to hurt Gwen, he would probably be even more ruthless.

"I'm fine. I'm very strong!" Gwen said proudly, putting her hands on her hips. Because she couldn't get involved in the previous fight, she had gone to deal with the Outriders.

"By the way, who is this guy?" Nebula looked at Star-Lord beside her and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"He's probably an Asgardian..." Star-Lord said slowly, looking at the people around him. Although Cassius didn't look like an Asgardian, looking at the golden-armored warriors behind him and the very recognizable Bifrost, they must be from Asgard.

"An Asgardian? If it's them, they can't fight Thanos," Nebula said, shaking her head solemnly. Because she knew very well that Thanos had just come from Asgard to take the Reality Stone.

Although this person had just neutralized the energy of the Infinity Stone, it didn't mean he was a match for Thanos.

If this were before Thanos had collected the Infinity Stones, Odin would have been able to one-sidedly defeat Thanos. But with the Infinity Stones, Thanos was not afraid of Odin at all. Although more allies had come, it was still very difficult to win this battle.

"At least we have allies now. Maybe... there's still a little bit of hope." Although Star-Lord also knew that it would be hard for them to defeat Thanos, they definitely could not give up now. And with so many people, it could at least relieve a lot of the pressure.

"I just hope they don't underestimate him." Nebula sighed. She had also noticed that when Cassius appeared, the others' faces were filled with excitement. One could even say that they didn't even bother with Thanos anymore, and they all focused on the person called Cassius.

The more this happened, the more worried she became. No matter what, Thanos was a cosmic overlord. He was not someone that ordinary people could deal with. And even if they were strong, they were still no match for Thanos with so many stones.

"Oh, Cassius is from Earth." Steve, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up after hearing their conversation.

"Then it's even more impossible for him to be a match for Thanos!" Nebula gritted her teeth, her expression solemn.

"That's not necessarily true. Cassius is very strong." Steve took a deep breath and looked at the two with a serious expression. Because he knew very well that Cassius was stronger than all of them combined.

"I hope so." Star-Lord just shook his head, a look of sadness still lingering in his eyes. To be honest, he didn't have any hope anymore.

At the same time, Cassius also heard their conversation, but he didn't care. Instead, he looked at Stephen. "Alright, tell your godfather who beat you up like this, and I'll help you teach him a lesson," Cassius said with a smile, wiggling his wrists as he continued to tease.

"Him." Stephen just gave up and pointed at Thanos. He didn't become a godson for nothing. Now that he had been beaten to a pulp, he had to make Cassius get him some payback.

"Young man, if you are here for the Asgardians, you should give up on that idea," Thanos frowned, saying with a low voice. Judging from Cassius's move of neutralizing the power of his stones, this person was indeed very strong. If he could avoid an unnecessary enemy, he was willing to make some concessions.

"You purple yam, you bullied my girlfriend and my friends, and you think we can just pretend nothing happened?" Cassius's originally smiling face gradually turned grim when he saw Thanos. He was here to avenge his little sorceress and Hela. It was safe to say that he was filled with rage. And he didn't mind letting Thanos know what true despair was.

"Don't be too arrogant. Do you think that just because you neutralized a power wave, you can be my opponent?" Thanos walked to his double-edged sword and pulled it out. Since a strong opponent had arrived, he couldn't continue to be empty-handed.

"Heh." Cassius didn't say anything. He just let out a cold laugh.

In the next second, a terrifying killing intent burst from Cassius's body. This was pure killing intent. Cassius had never been this angry since he came to this world. And now, he released all of it without holding anything back.

CRACKLE!

The surrounding air began to twist at this moment. And a dark red light appeared in the sky. In this instant, the green grass was stained by the dark red light. It was as if the whole world was soaked in blood.

As the killing intent was released, the surrounding green grass began to quickly bend and wither. A crimson light slowly surged on his body, and an ultimate destructive power burst out.

The surrounding grass also began to gradually turn into black particles and float into the sky. At this moment, Titan was as if it was shrouded in an apocalypse.

"Is this Cassius's true power?" When Tony felt this killing intent, he even felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Looks like Cassius is really angry this time." Steve's adam's apple bobbed up and down. They had seen Cassius fight other enemies before. Although they couldn't see his face, he had always looked very relaxed. But this time was completely different. He could clearly feel that Cassius was very angry.

"That purple yam is probably going to have a really bad day." Wong took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

This Thanos is really eager to die, daring to offend Cassius's girlfriend. The thought alone made his scalp tingle. He wasn't that scared when he was fighting Thanos. Besides, the killing intent wasn't even directed at them, yet they couldn't help but feel fear.

Gulp...

Nebula took in a big breath, her pupils contracting as she said with a trembling voice, "This guy's power... it's incredible!" Although she didn't know how he compared to Thanos, the aura alone made her tremble with fear.

"I don't know why, but when I look at that person, it's as if I'm looking at death itself!" Star-Lord's eyes widened. He stared at Cassius's back. He felt the aura of death, an indescribable aura. He even had a thought that if Cassius wanted to kill him, he would only need a single thought.

'This guy... He's strong!' Thanos felt as if his skin was being pricked by countless needles. A terrifying killing intent was tightly wrapped around him. Even his proud defense seemed to have lost its effect at this moment. With just one look, he actually felt fear, and he didn't dare to look directly into Cassius's eyes.

'Impossible! There can't be such a powerful existence in this world!' Thanos's expression suddenly became incredibly solemn. This killing intent was just too pure. And he actually had a feeling that he might actually die!

Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily avoided Cassius's gaze.

'What's wrong with me?! I'm actually scared!' At this moment, after Thanos reacted, he felt a surge of anger. He had faced countless enemies, but he was actually scared of a young man. This feeling made him feel ashamed. He was so angry that he couldn't stop trembling.

The other person only needed one look to make him retreat. He was a person who had several Infinity Stones, yet he was scared of a young man. It could even be said that this made him sweat profusely.

He didn't even know where this person came from. If he were really that strong, he should have heard of him!

At the same time, Cassius slowly raised his head.

"How dare you beasts look at me?" His voice was extremely cold. He looked at the Outriders who were trembling from his killing intent. The moment his eyes met with the Outriders, a terrifying scene occurred.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

A dark red light instantly surrounded all the Outriders. In the next second, the Outriders were like firecrackers, exploding one after another. In just a blink of an eye, fragments and liquids of the Outriders splattered in the air. It was like a downpour that instantly covered the area where the Outriders were standing. Even Thanos's body was drenched in the Outriders' blood.

"What happened?" Corvus Glaive looked at the ground filled with bodies. He was completely dumbfounded. He just heard the sound of explosions, and a majority of the Outriders were gone. The reason there were still some alive was because a lot more Outriders were being teleported from the landing craft.

"How did he do that?!" Nebula was stunned. Although Thanos could also do it, it wouldn't be as easy as this person. If she wasn't mistaken, he just did it with a single look.

"I think I finally understand why Tony and the others were so confident..." Star-Lord's mouth twitched. With just one look, he had gotten rid of the Outriders that had been giving them so much trouble.

"You!" At this moment, Thanos was drenched in liquid. He suddenly snapped back to his senses, and he roared with a trembling voice, "You're asking for it!"

Although his subordinates weren't that strong, they were warriors who maintained his rule. And this damned guy dared to hurt his warriors.

In the next second, different colored lights burst from the Infinity Gauntlet. A dazzling light quickly condensed in his hand.

"Die!" Thanos gathered all the energy together. Everything around them slowly distorted and changed. He had never used this move before, because this move was completely uncontrollable.

As the power was compressed, his left hand even felt an intense pain. Even with the Infinity Gauntlet, he couldn't completely avoid the side effects of the Infinity Stones.

With a roar, he swung his left hand. A terrifying orb of light instantly flew toward Cassius. Because of the power of the Space Stone, the orb of light instantly disappeared after flying a short distance. When it reappeared, it was right in front of Cassius!

"Is that it?" Cassius casually wiped his hand, and the orb of light instantly disappeared from existence. At the same time, he pulled his right hand back. "Is this the Infinity Gauntlet?" He then held out his hand, and the Infinity Gauntlet appeared on it.

Thanos was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the Infinity Gauntlet on his own hand had disappeared. In an instant, fear surged through his heart like a tidal wave!

How was this possible?!

In that instant, he didn't even feel anything!
