Thanos Makes His Move

"You’re guaranteed to lose this time. We will replace you and become the strongest Eternals."

Gilgamesh shouted at S Gilgamesh, who was exchanging blows with him. As S Gilgamesh attacked with all his strength, he roared, "We are the strongest. You Earth Eternals are nothing but ants."

"Among Eternals, there is no distinction between high and low."

Gilgamesh drew out all the energy in his body. His muscular frame suddenly shriveled into a skinny man, then his fist slammed toward S Gilgamesh like a planet.

"Don’t think merging with Ajak’s abilities gives you the right to be arrogant. In close combat, I am the strongest!"

S Gilgamesh sneered and threw a punch to meet Gilgamesh’s. The next moment, their fists collided violently, and the immense force shook the entire planet.

Compared to S Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh was still somewhat weaker. He screamed as he was sent flying backward. Just as S Gilgamesh was about to pursue him, an enormous pillar of spatial light blasted him in the back, sending him uncontrollably flying forward. Captain Marvel had launched a sneak attack.

That was not all. Runes flickered in Thor’s eyes as Stormbreaker slashed fiercely through the void. S Gilgamesh let out a shrill scream, blood gushing from his body as if it cost nothing.

"In close combat, perhaps you truly are the strongest. But I have companions. You don’t."

Gilgamesh, restored to his original form, climbed up from the ground and unleashed a barrage of punches at S Gilgamesh. At the same time, Captain Marvel condensed spears from Space Energy and hurled them continuously at S Gilgamesh, each one effortlessly piercing the void.

Even S Gilgamesh was battered into a miserable state, with more and more wounds appearing on his body. Worse still, his life force was constantly draining away—Thor had severed his Death Line.

"I’m still a little lacking. If it were Hela, this guy would already be dead."

After recovering for a moment, Thor rushed forward and joined the battle. Without question, S Gilgamesh’s doom was approaching.

"Looks like we can wipe out the strongest Eternals for good this time."

Tony said excitedly as he exchanged blasts with S Kingo. Steve said, "I was quite confident before, but now I’m a little worried."

"Hey, Steve, do you know that counts as slander?"

Tony was deeply displeased. At that moment, a massive purple figure appeared in the sky. Everyone could not help looking up, only to see Thanos, larger than Golden Rice Star itself, standing outside the planet.

"This is bad. Thanos has recovered."

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically. Thanos had no intention of wasting words. He slammed both hands toward Golden Rice Star, and under the effect of the Concept of Destruction, the planet’s space-time came to a complete halt. No one could resist.

Thanos’s plan was simple: crush it with one palm and end everything at once.

"I thought you’d attack Earth directly. I didn’t expect you to target Golden Rice Star instead. Thanos, you’re thinking too small."

At that moment, a figure appeared in the void. As his voice rang out, Golden Rice Star gradually turned into nothingness—it had been sent into the Cosmic Layer by Wang Bert using the power of the Space Stone.

"Blood God! Do you think a mere Mental Projection can save them?"

Thanos sneered and shook both palms. Two streams of power pursued Golden Rice Star, shattering space-time along the way.

"I am indeed only a mere Mental Projection, but I’m more than enough to deal with you."

Wang Bert snorted. He used the Space Stone to send Golden Rice Star into the layer of space around Earth, then turned his finger, redirecting Thanos’s two streams of power into the Extraterritorial Void. Countless worlds were destroyed as a result, turning into nothingness.

After doing all that, Wang Bert waved his hand and vanished from before Thanos. "Thanos, if you have the guts, come to Earth. I’ll have some fun with you."

"Blood God, do you think I’ll fall for that? I know your situation perfectly well."

Thanos wasted no words and tore open space to head for Earth. Blood God’s main consciousness was trapped in the Mind Sea and could not use Fair Space. He was guaranteed to win this battle.

As for the Infinity Stones, they were indeed powerful, but how much of their power could a Mental Projection possibly wield? He, Thanos, was a Creator God.

On Earth, a projection suddenly appeared in the sky—the projection of the battle between the Super Heroes and the strongest Eternals. After Wang Bert moved Golden Rice Star, time there had resumed, and both sides had begun fighting again.

In the past, such a scene would definitely have shaken the entire world, with countless people discussing it fervently. But now, the public merely glanced at it, yawned, and continued waiting for today’s food.

Over the past month, Earth had neither collapsed nor suffered any major conflict. Yet due to the food shortage, Earth’s order had been utterly destroyed. No one went to work, no businesses operated, and everyone thought of only two words every day: food, food, food!

At first, people had still been emotional, and quite a few had even marched in protest. But now, they had become numb, and their enthusiasm for all kinds of things had greatly diminished.

This time was the same. A streamer filmed the battle above while saying, "If I’m not mistaken, the Super Heroes are saving the world again. Of course, I don’t care about that. I only care about what we’re eating today. Yesterday’s alien steak tasted pretty good. I wonder if there’ll be any today?"

"Same here."

A row of identical comments appeared on the screen. They had seen Super Heroes save the world before. Eating their fill was more important.

If this continued, even with Wang Bert suppressing their minds, humanity would eventually be finished.

At that moment, an enormous purple figure appeared in the sky. The expressions of the previously numb crowd suddenly changed. Thanos—it was actually Thanos! How was that possible? Hadn’t he been killed?

"Is he going to snap his fingers again?"

Many people fell into immense terror and rage. The next moment, countless people all over Earth clasped their fists in salute at the same time. "I congratulate you on getting rich, I congratulate you on being splendid…"

"Ha ha ha!"

Thanos could not help laughing loudly. He said, "Blood God, given Earth’s current state, your main consciousness cannot possibly leave the Mind Sea. I’ll send you and Earth on your way together."

With that, Thanos clenched his fist, drew it back, and punched toward Earth. Wherever his fist passed, the void turned directly into chaos. Without question, if Earth were struck, it would be completely reduced to nothingness and cease to exist.

Everyone across the globe felt the presence of death, making their singing even louder. At the same time, the battle on Golden Rice Star came to a halt once more.

Old Tony cried out in alarm, "Blood God, can you stop him?"

"Don’t worry. Bert is far more reliable than you."

Tony said carelessly, "Leave the strongest Eternals to us and Thanos to him. It’s that simple."

S Druig shouted, "You’re dead for sure! Blood God’s main consciousness is trapped in the Mind Sea. He absolutely can’t block Thanos’s fist. Thanos is a Creator God!"

Steve said calmly, "You can always trust the Blood God."

"My God has never disappointed anyone."

The Eternals shouted in unison. Thanos was indeed terrifying, but their god was even more terrifying.

In the span of just a few sentences, Thanos’s fist had reached Earth’s atmosphere, and the entire planet was trembling—if Earth had a consciousness, it would probably have started running away.

"Thanos, I’ve been waiting for you."

At that moment, laughter rang out. Then the Mind Sea appeared out of nowhere in the void, and countless hands emerged from it, firmly grabbing Thanos’s giant hand and dragging it toward the Mind Sea.

Ignoring Thanos’s size, the sight was practically straight out of a horror movie.

"Break!"

Thanos had long prepared for unexpected developments. He shook his arm with force, shattering every hand. But the next second, even more hands emerged from the Mind Sea and continued dragging Thanos toward it.

Not only that, hands continually appeared around Thanos, pushing, pulling, and tugging with all their might to drag him into the Mind Sea.

"Get lost, all of you!"

Thanos roared as the Concept of Power erupted in full. Countless hands were blasted into dust. Yet to his shock, the hands around him did not decrease at all. Instead, they multiplied. The reason was simple: the speed at which he destroyed them could not keep up with the speed at which they appeared.

Under the push of those hands, Thanos gradually sank into the Mind Sea. Furious and alarmed, he continuously unleashed all kinds of Concept Abilities to destroy the hands, but it was useless. They appeared far too quickly for him to wipe them all out.

Even more horrifying, as time passed, hands grew from Thanos’s eyes, neck, arms, and body. Together with the other hands, they pushed Thanos toward the Mind Sea. Even Thanos gradually began to falter.

"Wow, this really is like watching a horror movie."

Tony exclaimed. Everyone could not help nodding. This scene was indeed quite horrifying.

"The Blood God really is trustworthy. It seems we can smoothly deal with Thanos and the strongest Eternals this time."

Old Tony let out a breath and spoke with rare ease. Steve could not help glancing at him. "I hope your setup is different from Tony’s. Tony, at crucial moments, you’d better not speak again."

Tony darkened his face and gave Steve the middle finger. This guy’s mouth was getting nastier and nastier.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the void. "Blood God, I truly didn’t expect you to have hidden such a trump card. Fortunately, I was cautious enough. Otherwise, I really would have fallen for it this time."

Everyone froze, then hurriedly looked toward the source of the voice. They saw a normal-sized, one-armed Thanos standing proudly in the void, his face filled with smugness.

That giant Thanos from earlier had merely been one of Thanos’s hands. Though he had been fully confident, his opponent was still the Blood God, so he had made additional preparations.

He, Thanos, was famous for being cautious as an old dog!

"Thanos didn’t attack in person?"

Everyone was shocked. The Blood God was trapped in the Mind Sea, and the trump card could surely only be used once. This was bad.

"Ha ha ha!"

S Druig and the others burst into laughter when they saw the situation turn around. The Blood God was indeed formidable, but Thanos was also extremely cautious. This time, Thanos had won.

No matter what, the Blood God was only a god-level avatar.

"Blood God, just wait until I smash Earth to pieces. To be honest, I hate Earth. Without Earth, I would have completed my destiny long ago."

The one-armed Thanos said with a savage expression, "What I hate even more is that they refuse to admit defeat no matter what. They’re more disgusting than flies."

"You want to kill us and won’t even let us resist? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Old Tony cursed loudly. He took a deep breath and said, "I’ll deal with Thanos. You take care of these guys."

Steve asked, "Can you do it?"

"I have to."

Old Tony gritted his teeth. If it truly came down to it, he would flip over that final card. That card was dangerous too, but the other party had promised to spare this universe and the Main Universe. As for the other universes, he could not worry about them.

At that moment, Wang Bert’s voice rang out. "I actually really want to know what your final card is, but I have a feeling it’s rather dangerous. Once released, it could endanger the Main Universe, so let’s save it for next time."

Old Tony’s expression changed slightly. He asked, "Blood God, you still have a trump card?"

"No, this is the only one. But who told you I failed?"

Wang Bert said with a smile. He had said that as long as Thanos came to Earth, he was doomed.

Blood God Bert Wang had never boasted in his life—well, except when picking up girls.

Everyone was stunned. At that moment, the giant Thanos formed from Thanos’s arm was completely dragged into the Mind Sea. The one-armed Thanos gave a savage grin and prepared to destroy Earth, only to discover that his Soul Stone was flying uncontrollably toward the Mind Sea.

"How can this be?"

Thanos’s expression changed drastically. He tried to use Concept Abilities to break free, but found them completely useless. Instead, he drew closer and closer to the Mind Sea.

Thanos gritted his teeth and summoned his one-armed body to merge with himself. Without a body, his strength would decline significantly. Since he could not escape the Mind Sea, he would smash it apart at full strength.

At that moment, Wang Bert’s Mental Projection appeared out of nowhere. He then used the Space Stone’s power to trap Thanos’s one-armed body. Thanos’s body immediately punched at the cage formed by the Space Stone.

The cage was instantly shattered, but by then, Thanos’s Soul Stone had already been completely dragged into the Mind Sea.

A Creator God’s body possessed extremely powerful spirituality. Though it had lost its consciousness, it continued attacking Wang Bert because it hated him deeply.

The Mind Stone suddenly appeared before Wang Bert. Under the illumination of the Light of the Mind, Thanos’s body gradually came to a stop.

Wang Bert nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, storing Thanos’s body in a small space. With this body, the gift sent by his main body would be completely perfected.

"Ha, things went even more smoothly and better than expected."

Wang Bert was quite pleased with himself. He said to the fading Mind Sea, "Thanos, read more when you have the time. It’s called the Mind Sea, yet you still dared split your consciousness. How utterly foolish."

If Thanos had not split his consciousness, Wang Bert would have had a much harder time dealing with him. Thanos had truly been too clever for his own good.

Seeing Thanos completely dragged into the Mind Sea, everyone cheered. As expected, the Blood God was always trustworthy.

"Don’t get too smug. Thanos has only been dragged into the Mind Sea. He isn’t dead."

S Druig shouted. Thanos had not reached the end yet. He was confident of that, because if Thanos truly reached the end, Arishem would definitely act.

"Thanos indeed isn’t dead yet, but you’re about to be."

Tony shouted, "Come on, everyone! Get rid of these guys before Bert deals with Thanos, or Bert will steal all the glory."

Steve laughed. "No problem, as long as you and Old Tony stop talking. Both you and Old Tony are set up to get slapped in the face."

Tony and Old Tony gave him the middle finger at the same time. Then everyone unleashed their full firepower, battering the strongest Eternals into a miserable state. S Ikaris and S Gilgamesh were even on the verge of death.
