Vision hovered in place, the Mind Stone on its forehead flickering with faint light.
Its mechanical face showed no expression, but its voice carried deep weariness.
"The shield outside can last for another 15 minutes."
Vision looked up at the palace dome, "Carol Danvers is using energy to strike the shield's weak points."
Xiao Han walked to the window, his Super Vision penetrating the wall to see the scene outside.
The zombified superheroes were frantically attacking the shield; the energy barrier already had cracks.
"What do You plan to do?"
Vision asked, "I can sense that with Your power, You can completely leave Earth."
Xiao Han turned to look at Vision: "My purpose is to save the people here."
"But, there is no life here anymore, only walking dead."
Vision fell silent. It looked at the crazed Wanda outside, wondering what it was thinking.
"I will give You the Mind Stone, You should leave." Finally, Vision made a decision.
"You will die." Xiao Han glanced outside, understanding why it was doing this.
"Wanda is not coming back. I have nothing left to linger for." Vision shook its head, its gaze cast towards the distance.
Vision's gaze passed through the shield, fixated on the figure that was once its beloved.
Wanda hovered in the air, scarlet Chaos Magic twisting and surging around her. Her once vibrant eyes now held only bloodthirsty crimson.
Her red hair danced in the energy storm, traces of undried blood remaining at the corners of her mouth.
"Goodbye." Vision whispered softly, its voice almost inaudible.
It raised its hand, opening a tiny gap in the shield.
"This is my own choice, You must leave." Vision looked at Xiao Han and spoke its last words.
The Mind Stone was removed. Golden light flickered for a moment at Vision's fingertips, then it was thrown towards Xiao Han.
As the stone left its body, Vision's Vibranium body quickly lost all color, turning a lifeless light gray.
The zombies howled, rushing towards Vision with roars.
Vision slowly flew out of the shield. Without the stone, it was like a puppet with snapped strings, falling heavily onto the ground in front of Wanda.
The zombie heroes immediately swarmed like a tide, surrounding it.
Xiao Han stood before Wakanda's protective shield, silent for a moment.
Outside, a fine rain began to fall, the raindrops pattering down.
He slowly raised his hand, golden magic runes appearing at his fingertips, and made a gentle swipe.
"Crack!"
The protective shield instantly disintegrated, the energy barrier shattering like glass.
Zombie Wanda suddenly looked up, her crimson eyes locking onto him. Chaos Magic surged wildly around her.
Zombie Captain Marvel hovered in the air, her body burning with twisted energy flames, a low growl emanating from her throat.
Further away, countless zombie heroes, zombie soldiers, and even mutated Beasts, all smelled the scent of living people.
"Roar!!!"
Zombie Wanda struck first. Scarlet Chaos Magic swept over like a giant wave; space twisted and tore before her!
Xiao Han's eyes turned cold. His figure instantly vanished, reappearing behind her, and he threw a punch!
"Bang!"
A magic shield appeared behind Zombie Wanda's body. The Impact caused the ground to crack!
She reacted immediately. Chaos Magic transformed into countless blood-red blades, stabbing towards Xiao Han in an overwhelming assault!
Xiao Han did not dodge or evade. Golden light erupted from his eyes.
"Sizzle! Boom!!!"
Heat Vision swept across, instantly vaporizing all the magic blades!
He took a step, the sonic boom cracking. He charged directly in front of Wanda, grabbed her neck with one hand, and slammed her violently into the ground!
"Rumble!!!"
The entire ruins of the Wakanda royal palace trembled!
Zombie Captain Marvel seized the opportunity to dive down, her energy-infused fist striking directly at the back of Xiao Han's heart!
Xiao Han didn't turn his head, countering with an elbow strike.
"Crack!"
Zombie Captain Marvel's sternum instantly collapsed. She was sent flying backward, smashing through several buildings!
But in the next second, more zombie heroes swarmed forward!
Xiao Han suddenly clasped his hands together.
"Boom!!!"
A golden magic barrier instantly expanded, deflecting all attacks!
Immediately after, golden light flared brightly in his eyes. Sun flare-level energy gathered within his body.
"It's over."
"Boom!!!"
A scorching white beam of light erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire battlefield like divine punishment!
Zombie Wanda screamed in the light, her body rapidly carbonizing! Zombie Captain Marvel tried to resist with energy, but was instantly vaporized!
The zombies roared as they rushed forward, but turned to ash in mid-air!
The entire land was swallowed by the light. All zombie heroes were annihilated under the purification of the Sun flare!
When the light dissipated, the ruins of Wakanda had become scorched Earth.
The rain fell steadily, washing over the blood-stained ground.
Xiao Han hovered above the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. His black battle armor glowed faintly in the darkness.
The golden S emblem on his chest was still conspicuous under the dim sky.
Beneath his feet were countless shattered corpses. In the distance, the embers of magic were slowly extinguishing.
Not far away, Captain Marvel's head rolled onto the ground, her eyes still retaining bloodthirsty madness.
Vision's body was torn beyond recognition, its gray mechanical body covered in bite marks.
Xiao Han watched all of this in silence.
He came to this World and witnessed the deepest despair.
He failed to save anyone. Even Vision's final choice was just for himself to leave.
[Sir, global scan complete.] Jarvis's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the sound of rain.
[No human life signs detected globally.]
Xiao Han silently raised his hand. The Mind Stone left by Vision glowed faintly yellow in his palm.
He gazed at this Infinity Stone. His Super Vision penetrated its internal structure, seeing countless energy pathways flowing within it.
[Ding! Mission completion 100%]
[Reward obtained: 10000 Growth Points]
[Random reward drawing...]
[Obtained: One complete set of Kryptonian technology.]
The System's prompt sounded in his mind, but Xiao Han felt no joy.
He looked up at the gloomy sky, rain sliding down his cheeks.
"Is this what is called salvation?" he asked in a low voice, his voice almost drowned out by the rain.
[Yes, Host.] The System replied calmly.
[Sometimes salvation means ending suffering.]
Xiao Han was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged land.
Countless corpses lay on the ground, devoid of any life signs.
Xiao Han didn't look any further.
He shot up into the sky, breaking through the clouds, reaching outer space.
Earth rotated beneath his feet. The blue ocean formed a stark contrast with the gray zombie continent.
"Purify."
Xiao Han clasped his hands together. The Mind Stone hovered before him. Golden magic runes rapidly spread in the void, forming a giant magic array covering the entire Earth.
"Sun Purification!"
Boom!!!
A golden beam of light descended from the Universe, piercing the atmosphere like divine punishment!
Countless zombies suddenly looked up. Some superhero zombies tried to resist.
But the light of purification was overwhelming. Their methods were quickly destroyed, their bodies turning to ash in the light.
Across the entire surface of Earth, all zombies wailed and dissolved in the light.
Cities, forests, oceans.
Everything was cleansed by the pure energy.
When the light dissipated, Earth fell into dead silence.
Xiao Han hovered in space, looking at the scorched Earth below his feet.
[Purification complete.]
[Mission ended.]
He put away the Mind Stone, turned around, opened a portal, and disappeared into the depths of the Universe.
