All the Cheaters Ganging Up on Thanos!

Although Li Congxin and the others moved quickly, it still took some time to break through an aerial fortress like Sanctum Sanctorum II. They had done their best, but from the moment Sanctum Sanctorum II suddenly appeared to the moment it was completely blasted into dust under the Power Stone’s attack, nearly a minute had still passed.

That minute was more than enough for the many experts aboard the ship to react in time!

Just before Sanctum Sanctorum II was completely destroyed by Li Congxin with the Power Stone, a deep-blue pillar of light shot out from within. At the final moment, it teleported Thanos and his subordinates, Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Hyperion, and Ebony Maw, to the ground below.

As for Supergiant, perhaps she had not had time to escape and had been directly killed by Li Congxin with the Power Stone. Perhaps she had another mission and had never taken part in this operation. Or perhaps there was some other reason?

In any case, it did not matter. In the memories recounted by the elderly Captain America, she had never existed in the first place.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared. It turned out that Captain Marvel Carol had placed Gamora and Nebula, whom she had rescued from the ship, at the edge of the battlefield before returning to the fray. Together with Li Congxin, Thor, Wanda, Tony, and the others, she surrounded Thanos and his people.

Then, a voice tinged with amusement suddenly rang out.

"Watch the left!"

It was a running gag that Captain America and Falcon had played before, and Li Congxin had also used it after crossing over.

The one who said it now was Falcon!

In the next moment, Any Doors crackling with sparks and lightning opened in the sky, on the ground, and in every direction. They came in all sizes and connected to places across Earth.

Wakanda, New Asgard, Avengers Base…

Superheroes emerged from the portals one after another. Some flew out, some acted alone, and some arrived in groups. The most spectacular were the forces from Wakanda—Black Panther had brought an entire army!

Countless black warriors held vibranium spears and shouted thunderous slogans as they slowly emerged from three enormous Any Doors side by side. The troops on all three fronts marched in perfect unison. Every step they took made the ground of Morag tremble faintly!

"Victory is ours!"

"Victory is ours!"

"Victory is ours!"

As Black Panther, leading from the front, shouted, all the Wakandan warriors answered in unison. Their roars resounded through the heavens!

At the same time, Valkyrie riding a silver pegasus, Pepper Potts in the rescue armor Tony had personally customized for her, Second-Generation Ant-Man, Second Generation Wasp… one powerful superhero after another made their entrance. Joining forces with the experts already present, they completely surrounded Thanos and his five-man group.

"Hey!" Seeing that victory was already certain, Star-Lord—the useless teammate from five years ago—piloted his leg-mounted flight device and scampered over to Gamora, whom Captain Marvel had just rescued. He excitedly spread his arms, intending to give the woman he loved most a passionate hug.

Having learned his lesson last time, Star-Lord had finally decided not to play the actor anymore.

He was going to slack off. How commendable!

Seeing this shameless man actually trying to take advantage of her, Gamora did not hesitate to reward him with a clean and decisive Thunderclap Egg Burst.

"Bang!"

Star-Lord instantly struck a combat stance with his legs spread, both hands protecting his vital area, before collapsing weakly to the ground with a pained expression.

Even lying on the ground, the man’s mouth was still at work. "Gamora, you missed with that kick five years ago. This time, you finally hit your target!"

Gamora glanced disdainfully at Star-Lord sprawled on the ground before turning to Lucky beside her and asking, "That’s him?"

She truly could not imagine it. Had every other man in the universe died? How could her counterpart in another timeline have fallen for such a creature?

Nebula from 2023 calmly said, "Other than him, you can only choose a tree."

Meanwhile, at the very center of the battlefield, Thanos and the other four were completely surrounded by the Avengers army. Li Congxin turned his head and said to Captain America, who was ready for battle, "In this kind of atmosphere, I feel that you’re the most suitable person to give the order. Captain, don’t be shy."

"Wait!"

Although Thanos was completely unafraid of the unprecedented assault that was about to descend upon him, Ebony Maw, standing beside him, had something to say. "Aren’t you all superheroes? Outnumbering your opponent isn’t the conduct of a superhero. Let’s fight one-on-one—five against five. If you lose, let us go."

In response to Ebony Maw’s shameless verbal trickery, Li Congxin simply said, "There’s no need to talk about chivalry with scum like you who threaten the universe. Being able to destroy you is the greatest justice. Shadow Clone Technique!"

To prove his resolve, Li Congxin used the Ring of Draupnir to summon five clones whose combat power was practically negligible, merely to bolster his presence. Only then did he leisurely turn back to Captain America. "Captain, what are you still hesitating over? Give the order already. Take him down!"

"Good!" Sensing everyone’s eagerness for battle, Captain America finally spoke and shouted his order. "Avengers, attack!"

Seeing Thanos struggling bitterly under the pressure of the Avengers army, Li Congxin casually snapped his fingers. Only afterward did he realize that his God-tier BGM System was still sealed and could not be used in this timeline branch.

What a truly tragic story.

But before he could feel disappointed, the sound of that snap rang out, and a stirring piece of music enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Sharpen your scissors, sharpen your knives!…"

Li Congxin froze when he heard the music appear from nowhere, then immediately understood.

When issuing the mission, the system had only said that the God-Tier BGM System would be unable to exert its effects during the mission. It had not said that it could not be used.

The two statements seemed almost identical, but there was actually a difference.

Being unable to use it meant that it was completely sealed and could not be activated at all.

Being unable to exert its effects, on the other hand, meant that any BGM he played in this temporal branch would not provide attribute bonuses. The music itself could still play without issue, and the sound effects were absolutely powerful—standard IMAX three-hundred-and-sixty-degree surround sound, full of energy!

As the music rang out, the Avengers felt their blood surge even more, and the rhythm of their assault grew several degrees tighter.

This was not a system effect. It was the charm of the music itself!

Even Li Congxin was infected by the atmosphere. He transformed Miraculous Hands, Spring Returns from cloth into a staff and charged straight at Thanos. Taking over the strongest boss from Captain Marvel, he shouted, "I’ll hold this Purple Sweet Potato back first! Clear out the other enemies!"

Li Congxin’s true strength was now roughly equal to Thanos’s. However, because of his earlier snap, he could not display his full strength. At most, he could use only twenty or thirty percent of it, which was already impressive.

But his equipment was excellent!

The two Infinity Stones he had already mastered greatly amplified his strength, far beyond imagination.

If the equipment of both sides was taken into account, Li Congxin was now actually greater than or equal to Thanos.

Facing Thanos with the stones’ power fully unleashed, Li Congxin felt no pressure at all!

Although it consumed quite a bit of energy, was he afraid of dragging things out?

Just look at the situation around them!

Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch were both weaker than Thanos, but they were still strong enough to crush any one of his generals. Thor was in the same situation.

With Tony unleashing his full firepower, he could temporarily rival a god. With Little Pepper supporting him, he could absolutely pin any one of Thanos’s subordinates to the ground and grind them into the dirt.

Captain America had picked up Mjolnir and was also ferocious beyond belief…

As for everyone else, a sudden cold shot here and there was still more than enough to give Thanos’s subordinates a hard time.

After all, there was strength in numbers. The Avengers now held an absolute numerical advantage, so they had every advantage in the fight.

Half a minute after Li Congxin took on Thanos, the first casualty appeared on the battlefield!

Ebony Maw, the only magic-oriented member of the Black Order, was lifted into the air by Scarlet Witch’s Chaos Magic. Doctor Strange, who had been hiding behind the others and preparing his ultimate move, calmly drew an Any Door above Ebony Maw’s head. He then controlled the door to slowly descend until it passed his neck, at which point he suddenly closed it.

Under the powerful severing force of spatial energy, Ebony Maw’s body and head were separated. He became the first of Thanos’s subordinates to die in battle.

Almost at the exact moment Ebony Maw’s headless corpse hit the ground, Captain America and Thor, having developed perfect teamwork, attacked Hyperion’s neck from the front and rear with an axe and hammer at the same time.

Caught off guard, Hyperion had no time to block. The axe and hammer struck him simultaneously, separating his head from his body!

"What an Absolute Bull – Thunder Plow Hot Knife!"

Naturally, the person capable of shouting something like that in the Marvel universe was Li Congxin… or rather, one of his clones.

The five clones he had created before the battle were pathetically weak. They were useless in a fight and could only stand in the back shouting encouragement.

With Ebony Maw and Hyperion dead, the remaining couple, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight, were also being beaten miserably by the Avengers led by Captain Marvel. By now, Little Spider’s webs had bound them tightly together.

Wanda, who had just freed her hands, used her Chaos Magic to control Corvus Glaive’s weapon. With a swift thrust, she pierced the only two capable generals Thanos had left, stringing the married couple together like candied fruit and sending them both to the afterlife.

Since they were lovers, they ought to leave this world together!

With that, the Black Order was completely wiped out, and the balance of forces on the battlefield changed once again.

What had previously been Thanos versus Li Congxin, with everyone else surrounding the Black Order, became…

Thanos VS Li Congxin, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Wanda, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Wasp, Little Pepper, Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, Nebula ×2…
