Chapter 124: Thanos falls short, the pressure from Hode!
The dark red Phoenix Force quickly surrounded these golden rays.
At the same time, where the Phoenix Force passed, green grass actually grew.
When life force encountered this power of distorted reality, it was even able to directly convert all these energies into life energy.
Furthermore, the land that was originally full of cracks began to gradually heal the moment the Phoenix Forceappeared.
The originally solid ground also became soft at this moment, and everyone was able to pull their feet out from it.
In just a few seconds, everything within sight had turned into a green meadow.
As a gentle breeze blew by, the green grass swayed continuously.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"How is this possible! What kind of power is this!"
Thanos had forgotten Hode's mockery and instead looked around with an incredulous gaze.
He didn't know how many years it had been since he had seen this Titan covered in green grass.
And what surprised him even more was that the opponent's power was actually able to block the power of the Infinity Stones!
This power even exceeded the power of the Infinity Stones!
"Hode, you brat, you finally arrived. I almost died!"
Tony the moment he saw Hode, his hanging heart finally settled.
He had thought he was done for, but he hadn't expected Hode to appear.
"Don't worry, with me here, it's hard for you to die even if you want to."
Hode walked to Tony's side with a smile and casually placed his hand on his shoulder.
The next second, the Horse Talisman flashed on his wrist, and the excruciatingly painful abdomen and internal injuries healed up at this moment.
"It actually healed?!"
Tony clutched his abdomen, his face full of disbelief; he never imagined that Hode actually possessed such power.
One had to know that his abdomen had been pierced through, and he had been barely holding on by relying on freezing frost.
"That is only natural!"
Hode withdrew his hand and casually shoved it into his pocket.
"You really love to show off when you make an entrance!"
Looking at Hode's listless and lazy expression, Tonycouldn't help but punch Hode in the chest.
Actually, he had thought about looking for Hode at the time, but unfortunately, he couldn't get in contact.
But fortunately, at this critical moment, Hode finally appeared.
"No choice, who told you guys to be so impatient!"
Hode spread his hands helplessly; he hadn't expected Thanos to act so quickly either.
When he received the news, he had originally wanted to come over by himself.
However, Wanda and the others insisted on bringing everyone along, which caused a bit more delay.
"You finally decided to show up!"
Stephen the moment he saw Hode, he slumped onto the ground, no longer maintaining his usual composure.
There would definitely be no need for them to take action in the upcoming battle; he had seen how powerful Hode's strength was.
"What do you mean 'you guy', what should you call me?"
Hode turned his head to look at Stephen and said with a half-smile.
"Godfather..."
When Stephen called out this term, everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into uproarious laughter.
"Hahaha, Godfather!"
Tony seeing Stephen call it out with a sullen face, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He and Hode were friends, so by that logic, his status was one level higher than Stephen's.
"It seems that the reason Stephen's strength was able to advance by leaps and bounds is entirely due to Mr. Hode's guidance!"
Even the corners of Barton's mouth couldn't help but curl up; after all, that guy Doctor Strange usually put on such airs.
He was always pulling a straight face and acted all arrogant and aloof when speaking.
Now he was actually forced to call someone else Godfather.
Stephen looked at everyone's behavior, his expression becoming even more strange.
But there was no help for it; after all, acknowledging a big shot as his godfather wasn't entirely unacceptable.
"Hode!"
At this moment, a white figure ran over quickly.
She jumped straight into Hode's arms.
"Gwen? Why are you here too?"
Hode really hadn't expected Gwen to appear here!
Previously in Marvel, Peter Parker had indeed appeared.
But this wasn't the same timeline at all; it had actually been replaced directly by Gwen.
"I came to help!"
Gwen took off her mask and stood on her tiptoes triumphantly.
"You aren't hurt, are you?"
Hode carefully looked Gwen up and down, taking in her curvy figure.
If that Purple Sweet Potato dared to let Gwen get hurt, he reckoned he would have to be even more ruthless.
"I'm fine, I'm very strong!"
Gwen put her hands on her hips, looking proud of herself.
Because she hadn't been able to intervene in the battle just now.
She had simply gone to deal with those Outriders.
...
"By the way, who exactly is this guy!"
Nebula looked at Star-Lord beside her, asking with a face full of confusion.
"He should be an Asgardian..."
Star-Lord scrutinized these people and said slowly.
Although Hode didn't look like an Asgardian, judging from the Asgardian Guards behind him.
He must have come from Asgard, and that Bifrost Bridge is also very recognizable.
So, in all likelihood, they are people from Asgard.
"From Asgard? If it's them, they won't be able to deal with Thanos!"
Nebula shook her head with a solemn expression, because she knew very well that Thanos had just gone to Asgard to seize the Reality Stone.
Although this person just neutralized the energy of the Infinity Stones, it doesn't mean he is a match for Thanos.
If it were before Thanos had collected the Infinity Stones, Odin would indeed have been able to unilaterally crush Thanos.
But with the Infinity Stones, Thanos wouldn't fear even Odin.
Although more allies have arrived now, it is still very difficult to win this battle.
"At least allies have arrived now, maybe... there might still be a glimmer of hope."
Although Star-Lord also knew that it would be very difficult for them to defeat Thanos.
But they absolutely cannot give up easily now.
And with so many people, they could at least relieve most of their pressure.
"I just hope they don't underestimate the enemy."
Nebula sighed, she had also noticed just now, when Hodeappeared.
The faces of everyone else present showed excitement.
It could even be said that they completely ignored Thanosand instead focused their attention on the person named Hode.
But the more this happened, the more she worried. Thanoswas, after all, a cosmic overlord and not someone an ordinary person could deal with.
Besides, even if he were relatively strong, there was still a huge gap compared to Thanos, who possessed so many stones.
"Oh, Hode is an Earthling."
Steve, who was nearby, heard their conversation and suddenly spoke up.
"Then it's even less likely he's a match for Thanos!"
Nebula gritted her teeth and said with a solemn expression.
"That's not necessarily true, Hode's strength is very great."
Steve took a deep breath and looked at the two with a serious expression.
Because he knew very well that Hode's strength was greater than all of them combined.
"I hope so."
Star-Lord just shook his head, his eyes still filled with an indelible sorrow.
To be honest, he had no hope left.
Meanwhile, Hode heard their discussion, but didn't care, instead turning his gaze towards Stephen.
"Alright, tell your godfather who beat you up like this, and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
Hode flexed his wrists and continued to tease with a smile.
"Him!"
Stephen, also resigned to his fate, cast his gaze directly at Thanos.
He hadn't acknowledged his godfather for nothing; now that he had been beaten into this state, he definitely had to let Hode take action to help him get his revenge.
"Young man, if you are here to vent for the Asgardians, you should give up that idea!"
Thanos frowned and said in a deep voice.
Judging from Hode's move of neutralizing his stone energy just now, this person was indeed very strong.
If he could avoid an unnecessary enemy, he was willing to make some concessions.
"You purple potato, you bullied my girlfriend and my friends, and you want to act like nothing happened?"
Hode's originally smiling face gradually turned gloomy when he saw Thanos.
He had come specifically to avenge his little witch and Hela.
It could be said that he was now filled with rage.
And he didn't mind letting Thanos know what true despair was.
"Don't be too arrogant. Do you think just because you neutralized the fluctuation that you are my match?"
Thanos walked to his double-edged sword and drew it directly.
Since a relatively powerful entity had arrived, he couldn't remain empty-handed.
"Heh."
Hode didn't speak, but his lips twitched into a cold sneer.
Hum...
The next second, an extremely terrifying killing intent burst out from Hode's body.
This was naked killing intent; Hode had never been this angry since he arrived in this World.
And now, he released it all without the slightest reservation.
Crackling...
The surrounding air began to twist constantly at this moment.
And a dark red light appeared in the sky.
In this instant, the green grass was dyed by the dark red light.
It was as if the whole World had been soaked in blood.
As the killing intent was released, the surrounding grass began to bend and wither rapidly.
Crimson light slowly surged on his body surface, and the ultimate power of annihilation burst out.
The surrounding grass also began to gradually turn into black particles and drift slowly towards the sky.
At this moment, Titan seemed to be enveloped by the apocalypse.
"Is this Hode's true strength?"
When Tony felt this killing intent, he even felt a bit breathless.
"It seems Hode is really angry this time."
Steve's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
They had seen Hode deal with other enemies before.
Although they couldn't see his face at those times, he had always been very relaxed.
But this time it was completely different; he could clearly feel that Hode was very angry.
"That purple potato is probably going to be in big trouble."
Wong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said slowly.
This Thanos is really courting Death, actually daring to offend Hode's girlfriend.
His scalp tingled just thinking about it.
He hadn't been this scared when dealing with Thanos just now.
Moreover, the current killing intent wasn't even directed at them, yet they couldn't help but feel fear.
Hhh~
Nebula gasped heavily, her pupils constricted, and she said in a trembling voice: "This guy's strength... is very powerful!"
Although she didn't know how it compared to Thanos, the aura alone already made her terrified.
"I don't know why, when I look at that person, it's as if I am seeing Death herself!"
Star-Lord widened his eyes, staring straight at Hode's back.
He felt the aura of Death; it was an indescribable aura.
Even a thought appeared in his mind: if Hode wanted to kill him, it would only take a single thought.
"This guy! He's strong!"
Thanos felt as if his skin was being pierced by countless needles, a terrifying killing intent firmly enveloping him.
Even his proud defense seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
Just from one glance, he actually felt timid, not even daring to look directly into Hode's eyes.
"Impossible! It's impossible for such a strong existence to exist in this World!"
Thanos's expression suddenly became extremely solemn; this killing intent was simply too pure.
And he actually had a feeling that he might really die!
Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily dodged away.
"What is wrong with me! I'm actually afraid!"
At this moment, after Thanos realized it, he suddenly felt a wave of anger.
He had faced countless enemies, yet he was actually afraid of a young man.
This feeling made him feel ashamed, and he was so angry he couldn't stop trembling.
Even though it was just a look from the opponent, it was enough to make him shrink back.
You have to know that he was someone who possessed several Infinity Stones, yet he was actually afraid 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 shouldn't have been unheard of!
Meanwhile, Hode slowly raised his head.
"You bunch of beasts dare to look up at me?"
His voice was extremely cold as he looked at the Outriderswho were shivering from the killing intent.
When his gaze met the Outriders, a terrifying scene occurred.
Bang, bang, bang!
The dark red light instantly surrounded all these Outriders.
The next second, these Outriders exploded one after another like firecrackers.
In just the blink of an eye, fragments and fluids of the Outriders were splattering in the air.
It was like a heavy downpour, instantly covering the position where the Outriders had just been standing.
Even Thanos's body was soaked by the blood of these Outriders.
"What happened?"
Corvus Glaive looked at the corpses on the ground, completely unable to react.
Just after hearing the sound of explosions, more than half of these Outriders had been eliminated.
The reason some were still alive was because quite a few Outriders were still being transported down from the landing ships.
"How on earth did he do this!"
Nebula was stunned; although Thanos could also do it.
But definitely not as easily as the person in front of her.
If she wasn't mistaken, this was just a look.
"Maybe I finally understand why Tony and the others were so confident!"
Star-Lord twitched his mouth; in just one encounter, he had solved the Outriders that were giving them such a headache.
"You!"
At this moment, Thanos, drenched in fluid, suddenly snapped back to reality and roared in a trembling voice: "You are courting Death!"
Although his subordinates were not very strong, they were soldiers used to maintain his rule.
And this damned guy actually dared to attack his soldiers.
In the next second, lights of various colors erupted from the Infinity Gauntlet.
A dazzling brightness rapidly condensed in his hand.
"Die!"
Thanos gathered all the energy together.
Everything around them was slowly twisting and changing.
He had never used this move before, because it was impossible to control.
As the power was compressed, his left hand even felt intense pain.
Even with the Infinity Gauntlet, there was no way to completely avoid the side effects brought by the Infinity Stones.
With a roar, he swung his left hand violently.
The terrifying ball of light flew instantly toward Hode.
Because of the power of space, the ball of light vanished instantly after flying a short distance.
When it reappeared, it was right in front of Hode!
"Is that it?"
Hode wiped his hand, and the ball of light vanished from the World instantly. At the same time, he pulled with his right hand: "So this is the Infinity Gauntlet, right?"
Suddenly, an Infinity Gauntlet appeared on his hand.
Thanos was stunned for a moment, then realized that the Infinity Gauntlet on his own hand had actually disappeared.
In an instant, fear surged in his heart like a tide!
How is this possible!
At that moment, he didn't even feel anything!
...
Chapter 125 Thanos is at the end of his rope, completely dominating everything, Hela wants to take revenge personally!
"How is this possible!"
He had the Space Stone on his hand; if he had sensed any spatial fluctuations, he definitely would have noticed it immediately!
But when the gauntlet disappeared, he didn't feel a thing.
If he hadn't seen it in Hode's hand, he probably wouldn't have discovered it for another few seconds.
"There is nothing impossible; strength does not rely on external objects."
Hode didn't even lift his head as he examined the Infinity Gauntlet, speaking in a calm voice.
Although the Infinity Gauntlet was powerful, it had many limitations.
For example, one had to clench their fist to use the power of the stones; if used bare-handed, one would be injured by the powerful force.
Therefore, even when Thanos took the stones off to use them, he didn't use them for long, but immediately put the stones back onto the Infinity Gauntlet after use.
However, one had to admit that the stones on it looked exceptionally brilliant.
If they were embedded in jewelry, they would be the most beautiful jewelry in the World.
He casually took out the Space Stone, its blue light fluctuating slightly.
The overflowing power of space allowed Hode to clearly feel the power of this space.
However, for him now, this had no effect whatsoever.
Now he could sense the entire Universe, and as long as he had a thought, he could appear in different places.
Furthermore, he had countless ways to create the black holes that the Space Stone released.
Although a black hole represented darkness and engulfment, it still appeared incredibly weak in front of the Phoenix Force.
Just as Hode was admiring the stone, everyone else looked at Hode with shocked eyes.
"Incredible, what exactly is going on with this guy's strength!"
Not far away, Corvus Glaive's heart was pounding wildly; he could even hear the sound of his eardrums throbbing.
Although a large portion of the surrounding Outriders had gathered, he felt fear.
He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had felt this kind of fear from the depths of his soul.
Yet the person in front of him brought him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Why would there be such a strong person? It's impossible! I've never heard of him at all!"
Beside her, Proxima Midnight's voice was trembling, her pupils shaking.
She imperceptibly took two steps back, fear spreading throughout her body.
Having followed Thanos for so long, she had never seen Thanos be so panicked.
It could even be said that even when Thanos encountered Odin, he had never been fearful to this extent.
Moreover, when Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet was taken away, he hadn't even made the slightest reaction.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Thanos was so angry that his whole body couldn't stop trembling. He was only two Infinity Stones away from completing his dream!
But this guy, who didn't know where he came from, had actually taken the gauntlet directly.
Anger surged in his chest, and he raised his head to stare fixedly at Hode in the distance.
"I really don't like your gaze!"
Hode casually opened a dimensional space and put the Infinity Gauntlet inside.
In the next second, he appeared instantly in front of Thanos, and his body was floating even higher.
He was a head taller than Thanos, looking down at the Thanos in front of him.
!!!
Facing Hode who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Thanos was startled and instinctively gripped the double-edged giant sword beside him.
This time, there were also no spatial fluctuations; it could even be said that there was no feeling at all, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
"Surprised? That was how I took your gauntlet just now."
Hode saw through Thanos's thoughts. With his current strength, when moving, he could make the surrounding environment harmonize with himself.
In other words, theoretically, moving would definitely stir up a strong wind, but he didn't.
Unless he was willing, surrounding things would avoid him, just like small fish entering a stream.
No matter how fast, it followed the flow of Water and would not cause too much fluctuation.
When he took the gauntlet just now, it was through this method that he appeared instantly in front of Thanos.
"Give my gauntlet back!"
Thanos's pupils were bloodshot, the veins on his arms bulging, and he fiercely swung the double-edged giant sword in his hand to slash at Hode.
No matter what, he had to get the Infinity Stones back; only then could he turn the tide.
Moreover, the opponent was too close to him right now; in fact, his strongest ability was close combat.
As long as he slashed Hode, he would definitely be able to split this arrogant guy in half directly.
Whoosh~
With a loud noise, the double-edged giant sword in his hand suddenly slashed toward Hode, the entire movement smooth and flowing.
It could even be said that there was no sign at all; in just an instant, it had slashed to in front of Hode.
Ding...
But at this moment, everyone widened their eyes.
Hode was seen blocking this aggressive strike with his index finger.
Moreover, his right hand was still in his pocket, with a hint of playfulness and mockery in his eyes.
!!!
"What exactly is going on with this guy! Is he really an Earthling!"
Nebula was about to go crazy watching this scene; that was Thanos's full-strength strike.
Although Thanos had lost the Infinity Gauntlet now, this did not mean his strength was weak.
It could even be said that Thanos was still among the top tier in the Universe.
Even Odin couldn't take it directly in this state.
"My god, am I dreaming right now? Is this thing something that can be blocked with a finger?!"
Star-Lord was about to faint from shock.
If Hode had dodged or something, he would think it was normal.
But this was blocked with just one finger; no matter how you looked at it, it was wrong.
"Purple sweet potato, you seem very angry, huh?"
Hode didn't make any big movements, just slowly pinched the blade and gave it a light squeeze.
Cracks spread rapidly on the top of the double-edged giant sword; in just an instant, the cracks had spread across the entire double-edged giant sword.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, this indestructible double-edged giant sword actually shattered just like that.
At this moment, Hode seemed to remember something, casually taking his right hand out and slowly moving it toward Thanos's forehead.
He was holding a flicking gesture in his hand.
Looking at the hand that was getting closer and closer, Thanos was shocked to find that although he could see Hode's movements, the whole World seemed to have slowed down at this very moment.
Even if his movements were fast now, he absolutely could not stop the opponent's action!
Snap~
With the flick of a finger, Thanos's body spun in the air and flew backward directly.
He smashed heavily into the already dilapidated building in the distance.
"Hode, you guy really are showing off!"
Tony felt terrible seeing this scene; they had been fighting for so long.
As a result, once Hode arrived, one flick of a finger sent Thanos flying.
He had just exhausted all his strength, and it only made Thanos step back a few steps.
Although he knew there was a big gap between himself and Hode, he hadn't thought the difference would be that big!
"Looks like I really didn't make a mistake in recognizing this godfather!"
Stephen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
He felt that Hode hadn't used any magic or anything like that at all.
This was merely relying on physical strength to make Thanos miserable.
As for the others, needless to say, their eyes were left with only dullness.
"A deity! This is probably the true deity!"
Corvus Glaive's tone carried exclamation and fear.
This power had already far exceeded Thanos.
Moreover, this was just a flick of a finger that had left Thanos without any possibility of resistance.
So when they saw this scene, all that remained in everyone's minds was confusion.
"You actually dare to treat me this way!"
Boom!
In the next second, Thanos lunged fiercely from the ruins.
His body was covered in blood, and even the spot on his forehead where he had been struck was missing a chunk of flesh.
Yet, even so, he charged toward Hode without hesitation.
Because he knew very well that if he did not retrieve the Infinity Stones, living would have no meaning.
He had waited so long for Odin to die; he no longer had the time to wait for Hode to pass away.
If he failed to fulfill this wish this time, he would never be able to achieve it in his lifetime.
So, all he could do now was fight with his life!
But the moment he approached Hode, a crimson light instantly enveloped his entire body!
"Chaos Magic?!"
Upon sensing this familiar aura, Thanos immediately realized, was this not the aura of Chaos Magic?!
He had already felt this terrifying aura before when he was heading to Asgard.
However, he had the Infinity Stones at that time, and now it was completely different.
In the next second, his charging body was frozen in place by the crimson light.
A powerful force bound his entire body, forcibly holding him in place.
"You still dare to try and harm Hode?! That is nothing but a pipe dream!"
Wanda reached out with both hands, roaring with a serious expression.
She had been very unhappy about losing to Thanos last time, so this time, she would let Thanos know her true strength.
"Hah!"
With a roar from Wanda, that terrifying Chaos Magicrapidly constricted.
This force even caused cracking sounds to emanate from within Thanos's body.
Argh!!!
The pain coming from every inch of his skin made him unable to help but scream.
He could even feel every inch of his muscles and bones being compressed countless times.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from this terrifying restraint.
All he could do was scream continuously.
"How is this possible!"
Proxima Midnight widened her eyes, watching this scene in shock.
She had never imagined that Thanos would actually lose at the hands of someone else.
And it was a woman, to the point where even breaking free seemed impossible.
"Crush!"
Wanda gritted her teeth; she was prepared to squeeze Thanos into a ball of flesh.
Crack, crack, crack...
Under the immense pressure, the armor on Thanos's body began to collapse, and Wanda gave a sharp tug.
The sturdy armor on his body was instantly ripped off.
The pain made Thanos unable to help but let out a shrill scream.
"Wanda!"
Just at this moment, Hela slowly walked to Wanda's side: "Stop!"
Hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on Wanda's face.
This could clearly be finished right now; why stop?
Even the others were stunned; they had finally gained the upper hand, yet at this moment, someone wanted to stop Wanda's actions.
"I want to finish off Thanos with my own hands!"
Hela said as the clothes on her body began to shift into her battle suit, an expression of anger appearing in her eyes.
This guy had beaten her so badly; now it was time for her to take her revenge.
"Wanda, let Hela handle it herself!"
Hode said slowly at this moment.
He also knew that Hela had lost too miserably last time.
Presumably, bringing those Asgardian Guards over was also to let them witness her revenge.
Losing face in front of the Asgardians would certainly have an impact on her future rule if she didn't reclaim it.
Since that was the case, she naturally had to regain her dignity.
Upon hearing this, Wanda finally retracted her Chaos Magic and stepped aside, watching Thanos with cold eyes.
After releasing her grip, Thanos fell directly from the air and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Heh, you want to use me as a whetstone?"
Thanos understood Hela's intention, so he flexed his limbs and suddenly extended his right hand.
In the landing ship in the distance, a greatsword suddenly flew out from within.
The moment he grasped the greatsword, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He swung it fiercely, and the target of that greatsword was clearly Hode, who was not far away.
Thanos knew very well that even if he could defeat Hela, it would be of no use.
To turn the tables, he had to target Hode, and he planned to finish Hode off directly in a surprise attack.
As long as he retrieved the Stones, no one present would be his match.
Whoosh!
As the greatsword swung, a terrifying cracking sound erupted in the air.
This strike was fierce and menacing, clearly intending to cut Hode in half at the waist.
However, Hode stood unhurriedly with his arms crossed, watching Thanos with a calm expression.
He clearly had no intention of blocking it.
Just then, a green light instantly enveloped the greatsword and gave it a violent yank.
It actually sent Thanos flying into the distance, and at the same time, the nightsword instantly appeared in Hela's hands.
Her body rushed toward Thanos, skimming rapidly across the ground.
Just as she was about to reach Thanos, she swung the nightsword in her right hand toward him.
Facing Hela's fierce attack, Thanos had no choice but to stop focusing on Hode.
He could only fiercely raise his greatsword to block in front of him, deflecting the nightsword.
Yet at this moment, Hela had already reached Thanos, and with a wave of her right hand, the rebounding nightswordinstantly returned to her hand.
She slashed continuously at the greatsword blocking her path.
With every slash, the force generated sparked against the greatsword.
Although Thanos was not seriously injured, he was still far, far inferior compared to Hela in her current peak state.
After all, Hela was now brimming with divine power, and the nightsword in her hand was like a lethal intent hiding in the shadows.
A moment of carelessness could lead to being struck directly.
"No, this woman's speed is too fast!"
Thanos gritted his teeth; although his strength was greater.
Hela's speed was simply too fast, and she was darting around him rapidly.
Because he was using a greatsword, he had no way to unleash its full power when the enemy was so close.
Hela knew her advantage well, so she kept dodging.
Forcing Thanos to only use the greatsword for defense.
Looking from afar, the green light was constantly flashing in the center of the battlefield.
The speed was like lightning, and Thanos was actually being beaten into a retreat.
"Damn it!"
Thanos gritted his teeth, stepped back sharply, and simultaneously made a horizontal slash with his right hand.
He intended to force Hela back in this way, giving himself a little room to breathe.
But at this moment, Hela's body was like a nimble fish, leaping up suddenly.
At the same time, the nightsword stabbed fiercely into Thanos's shoulder.
The blade in her left hand also sliced across Thanos's chest, and crimson blood immediately flowed down his body.
!!!
At this moment, Tony and the others who were watching this scene were shocked.
Because they were very clear about how powerful Thanos's physical body was.
Just a moment ago, they had tried with all their might and only managed to leave a small wound!
Just then.
Hela flipped and kicked, green light condensing on the sole of her foot, directly blasting Thanos away!
Chapter 126: The Final Battle, The Death of Thanos, Everything Turns to Dust and Dissipates!
This kick condensed an extremely terrifying amount of Death energy.
Coupled with the fact that Thanos had just swung his greatsword, he had no time to defend.
Being struck solidly in the chest, his whole body was like a bullet fired from a chamber, flying into the distance in an instant.
When he fell to the ground, he even rolled several times before stabbing his greatsword into the ground, stopping his rolling body.
"Hiss, this woman Hela has actually become stronger again!"
Thanos gritted his teeth and stood up, looking at Hela with an expression of unwillingness.
He and Hela were both powerhouses of the same level, but Hela's current state was much better than his.
Without the Infinity Stones, wanting to crush Hela was basically an impossible task.
"It seems that without the Infinity Stones, you are absolutely nothing!"
A look of disdain appeared on the corner of Hela's mouth; Thanos had indeed been quite strong before.
But after possessing the Infinity Stones, he became increasingly reliant on their power.
This was just as Hode said; relying on external forces, one could never truly become strong.
"Don't be happy too soon; the outcome has not been decided yet!"
Thanos climbed up, his muscles tensed, and veins bulged high on the surface of his body.
He pulled out the greatsword and rushed rapidly toward Hela.
Anger made his expression look incredibly ferocious, and an indescribable rage burned within his chest.
He was clearly just a step away from completing his dream, yet such a thing had happened.
Another plan had already flashed through his mind, which was that he could only try to defeat Hela.
And then use Hela to threaten that damnable guy into handing over the Infinity Gauntlet.
As long as he regained the Infinity Gauntlet, he would certainly be able to annihilate all of these people!
Every time he ran, terrifying footprints were left on the ground.
As his running speed increased, his eyes were filled with rage.
"Hela, I did those things because I believed in you. Why have you changed at a time like this!"
Thanos roared loudly, his voice filled with unwillingness as he ran.
He had previously believed Hela's words, that the Universewas in an imbalance between life and Death.
That was why he kept seeking a solution, but now the person blocking him was actually Hela!
It was for this reason that he felt exceptionally unwilling to accept it.
This was nothing short of a betrayal.
"Thanos, people change after all! Besides, all of this is wrong!"
Hela watched the charging Thanos with cold eyes, the Death energy in her hands beginning to gather rapidly.
In just an instant, the black energy merged into the ground and surged rapidly toward Thanos.
Watching the approaching Death energy, Thanos did not dodge at all; instead, he leaped into the air.
The moment he jumped, a giant skeletal claw suddenly reached out from below, trying to grab Thanos.
However, as he was well-prepared, the claw was shattered directly by Thanos with his greatsword.
At the same time, purple energy surged over his body; this was his most primal energy.
As the power emerged, the purple energy instantly enveloped the greatsword.
He swung it violently in the air, and a massive purple blade of light slashed rapidly toward Hela.
Facing Thanos's attack, a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of Hela's mouth, and she pulled her right hand sharply.
A black barrier instantly appeared in front of her.
Not only that, but her eyes held a gleam darker than the night.
She slammed both hands onto the ground, and a terrifying wormhole opened behind her.
An aura symbolizing slaughter slowly emerged from within.
And the next second, a giant wolf leaped out from inside.
This was clearly Fenris the Wolf!
Roar!!!
Without waiting for Hela to give the order, the moment Fenris the Wolf saw Thanos charging, it lunged rapidly toward him.
Its massive body showed no clumsiness at all; instead, it appeared exceptionally agile.
After charging in front of Thanos, Fenris the Wolf opened its bloody maw and bit fiercely toward him.
Facing this huge mouth, Thanos clenched his right fist and punched Fenris the Wolf in the face.
This charged punch sent Fenris the Wolf staggering, but it still relentlessly lunged at Thanos.
At this moment, everyone watching from the surroundings couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Father, is there really a possibility of winning?"
Corvus Glaive said in a trembling tone.
He was already thinking of running away; if not for the fact that the person called Hode was there, he probably would have already turned tail and run.
Besides, even if they managed to subdue Hela, what then?
The person called Hode was simply too strong; he could even feel that this person was even more powerful than Odin.
One must know that the reason they hadn't made a move back then was because of Odin's existence.
Now that an existence even more powerful than Odin had appeared, they had absolutely no chance of winning.
"Father will not fail! You had better shut your mouth!"
Proxima Midnight looked at Corvus Glaive, her voice filled with anger.
She could see that this damned guy, Corvus Glaive, actually wanted to betray Thanos.
No matter what, she would absolutely not let Corvus Glaive abandon Thanos.
And she believed that Father must have a way to deal with these damned guys.
Although the current situation was not optimistic, they still had a chance of winning.
As long as they subdued this damned Goddess of Death, they would surely win.
Although Hela's strength had become much greater now, Hela had, after all, been sealed away for all these years.
Besides, they could only pin their hopes on this now.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the Avengers and the others not far away had relaxed quite a bit.
"Hela's strength is truly powerful!"
Wong couldn't help but sigh.
She was even gaining the upper hand by virtue of her strength.
And that Fenris the Wolf was far more powerful than they had imagined.
Although it was being beaten back step by step, it had not suffered any serious injuries.
This not only meant having an extra helper, but more importantly, it could drain Thanos's stamina.
Because they could also see that Thanos's greatest strength was his terrifying physical stamina.
They had already been fighting Thanos for a long time before Hode arrived.
Later, after Hode and the others appeared, they even managed to injure Thanos, yet even so, he still had the strength to resist.
"However, I feel like the situation is still not looking good!"
Steve said, frowning; he also saw through Thanos's intentions.
Although Hode was right here, he couldn't help but feel slightly worried.
"Don't worry, Hode's strength is very, very strong!"
Gwen had arrived at the side at some point and sat cross-legged, swinging her body as she spoke nonchalantly.
Once Hode appeared, she would unconditionally believe in Hode.
After all, as long as Hode was there, it was impossible for them to lose!
"That's true, this is an existence that could make Odinsubmit with conviction!"
Tony thought of what had happened before and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Tony, why do you all look so disheveled!"
Thor glanced at the current situation on the field and also realized that the situation was extremely intense.
So he simply came into the middle of Steve and the others to see how everyone was doing now.
"Heh, you just didn't show up, otherwise you'd be about the same."
Tony twitched the corner of his mouth and teased without hesitation.
After all, even if Thor came here, he really wouldn't be a match for Thanos.
They had seen Thor being unilaterally crushed by Hela.
"But why did it take you so long to come!"
Natasha asked, frowning.
After all, she didn't believe for a second that Asgard wouldn't know about this situation.
Moreover, judging from Thanos's tone just now, Asgard must have also gone through a great battle.
"We were..."
Thor simply recounted everything that had happened.
When they heard everything that had happened, their expressions became exceptionally strange.
They really hadn't expected that such things would happen in Asgard.
However, this also explained why the stone inside the Tesseract was in Thanos's hands.
Just as everyone was discussing, fierce fighting was still taking place in the center of the battle.
"Get lost!"
Thanos swung his greatsword violently, hacking Fenris the Wolf away with a single blow.
At the same time, purple light erupted from his body, and terrifying energy surged in all directions.
After coming into contact with this purple energy, the air even gave off white mist.
As it surged, the air felt as if it were being scorched by fire.
He pulled sharply toward a deserted building in the distance, and a huge rock smashed toward Hela's direction.
Facing this menacing attack, Hela just revealed a sneer.
A black mist was seen wrapping around the incoming rock rapidly.
As the mist spread, a huge figure actually appeared inside.
This was clearly a skeleton of the Giant race, and this skeleton was holding a dilapidated big blade, rushing rapidly toward Thanos.
"Thanos, you will absolutely never be able to defeat me!"
A cold glint flashed in Hela's eyes; she knew very well that Thanos could absolutely not be her match.
Although her strength hadn't improved much over these years, she was far, far stronger than Thanos in controlling energy.
As the skeleton rushed toward Thanos, Thanos gritted his teeth and charged forward to meet it.
The two collided violently, and in an instant, dust filled the surroundings.
Thanos dodged the skeleton's slash, and the greatsword in his hand slashed fiercely onto the skeleton's frame.
This full-force blow directly smashed the skeleton's ribcage to pieces.
Yet even so, the skeleton did not stop its movements; instead, it continued to launch attacks rapidly.
Flames flickered within its hollow eye sockets; just looking at it was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
"Fenris the Wolf, go back!"
Hela looked at the heavily injured Fenris the Wolf and casually opened a wormhole to send Fenris the Wolf back.
After all, the purpose of draining Thanos's stamina had already been achieved.
Although Thanos's physical constitution was very strong and he would heal rapidly after being injured...
But this power was not infinite, after all.
The reason Thanos was so powerful before was entirely because Thanos possessed the Power Stone.
At the same time, because of his physical constitution, there was simply no way to deal with Thanos.
With the enhancement of so many stones, he was even equivalent to being immortal.
But now, Thanos did not have the enhancement of the Infinity Stones, and his strength had significantly declined.
Sure enough, after Thanos dealt with the skeleton, he had already started gasping for breath heavily.
"Father, I'll help you!"
Proxima Midnight, not far away, looked at the situation in front of her, gritted her teeth, and charged up directly.
But before she had run a few steps, Wanda took action without hesitation.
Crimson light flickered on her hands, and then it surged rapidly toward Proxima Midnight.
"Don't think you can stop me!"
Proxima Midnight violently threw the war blade in her hand toward Wanda.
The tip of the war blade also emitted a blue energy glow.
But just when the war blade came into contact with the crimson light, it actually changed rapidly.
It actually turned into cotton-like fluff dancing across the sky.
Immediately after, Wanda pulled with her right hand, and crimson light wrapped tightly around Proxima Midnight.
Then, with a forceful swing, she slammed her into the abandoned wall in the distance.
"This is a battle between the two of them. If anyone intervenes, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Crimson light flickered in Wanda's pupils, causing Thanos's army to dare not make any rash moves for a moment.
After all, they weren't just facing Wanda; there was also an extremely terrifying existence among them.
"I didn't expect my Little Witch to have trained her Chaos Magic to such an impressive level."
Hode walked to Wanda's side and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
In that instant, Wanda had actually relied on her ability to alter reality to directly change the weapon that had been thrown at her.
"That goes without saying; I have never slacked off!"
Hearing Hode's encouragement, Wanda proudly puffed out her chest.
For a moment, her figure appeared quite curvaceous.
Ever since she learned that her Chaos Magic could influence reality, she had been practicing control every day.
Now, she could fully use her crimson light to catch slower-moving projectiles.
"Proxima Midnight!"
Thanos noticed this scene and tightened his grip on his greatsword.
The more he looked at the group in the distance, the angrier he became.
He was clearly the one in the right; why were so many people opposing him?
Did these people not know what would happen once resources were exhausted?
If it weren't for the population explosion, all races could live in peace and contentment.
Therefore, he was right; otherwise, this would inevitably devolve into endless plundering.
Thinking of this, his speed increased sharply, and he instantly shot towards Hela.
The greatsword he held even left a massive gouge on the ground.
"Thanos, I imagine you haven't seen this move of mine in a long time!"
At this moment, the corners of Hela's mouth curled up slightly, and a flash of coldness appeared in her eyes.
She pressed her palms together and slammed them downward; terrifying energy instantly erupted from Hela's body.
The previously clear, cloudless sky was suddenly overcast with dark clouds.
The surrounding ground was also shrouded in a faint black mist.
As the mist spread wildly, it looked as if they had arrived in another World.
"Realm of the Dead!"
Thanos recognized this move the moment he saw it.
The expression on his face became incredibly ugly.
At this moment, the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves came from all directions.
Countless undead could be seen descending from the dark clouds, rushing fiercely toward him.
The ground all around suddenly cracked open with pits, and countless humanoid undead crawled out from within.
When they saw Thanos, they all let out shrill shrieks.
The next second, these undead lunged at Thanos like a small mountain.
Watching these undead closing in, Thanos swung his greatsword wildly, batting away all the undead around him.
Just then, an even more terrifying scene appeared before his eyes.
A terrifying stone gate slowly emerged in front of Hela.
This was clearly the gate that guided souls to the Realm of the Dead.
"Thanos, stop struggling; go obediently to the other World!"
Hela said with a cold sneer.
Just as Thanos was distracted, the undead instantly swarmed onto his body.
They continuously scratched and bit at him.
Although the attack power of these undead was average, they won through sheer numbers.
When they finally dispersed, Thanos was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
He looked up at Hela and let out a helpless, manic laugh.
"All for nothing! There's no other way!"
Thanos knew he couldn't win, so he slowly stood up.
He faced the gate of the Realm of the Dead directly.
The next second, countless Death energy surged out, instantly swallowing the Thanos who had given up resistance.
As the aura of Death dissipated, Thanos had shockingly turned into dust.
Chapter 127: Celebration Banquet, Hela's Self-Sacrifice, Millennial Virgin!
As that trace dissipated, the expressions of everyone present varied.
"Long live the Goddess of Death!"
"Our leader really is the strongest!"
"That guy Thanos was defeated by our King!"
"..."
The Asgardian Guards let out thunderous cheers.
Previously, when Odin abdicated to Hela, they had felt some dissatisfaction.
After all, no matter how one put it, Hela was very different from the King they had imagined.
And the heir they preferred was Thor.
After all, Thor was closer to them, so after Hela took over, quite a few Asgardians were still opposed to it.
Plus, when Thanos came to their realm and they saw this so-called King lose to Thanos, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.
Now that they saw Hela kill Thanos with her own hands, they naturally couldn't help but cheer with joy.
"It seems our sister has truly had a change of heart."
Loki leaned over to Thor's side and pouted, saying, "It looks like you'll never be King!"
"Loki, I have no interest in these things at all. Only the strong can lead our realm to prosperity!"
Thor was a very straightforward person by nature; since Hela's strength was greater, the throne naturally belonged to her.
Moreover, he had found out what happened back then from books; he had to admit that Hela had indeed crawled out from Death back then.
Even if she truly sat in that position, he had no objections whatsoever.
Now, seeing the Asgardian Guards gradually starting to cherish Hela, his mood improved quite a bit.
After all, a true King needs the support of their people; otherwise, many plans cannot be pushed forward.
Bang!
Meanwhile.
The moment Proxima Midnight, who had struggled to pull herself out of the wall, saw Thanos vanish.
It was as if her soul had been ripped out; she had never imagined that the Thanos, who was incomparably powerful in her eyes, would die so quietly.
He hadn't even left a corpse behind; all she saw was Thanos's soul entering the Realm of the Dead.
A helpless, bitter smile appeared on her face, followed by an indescribable pain.
Having followed Thanos for so long, now that she had suddenly lost her backbone, she didn't even know what she should do next.
"Did Father just die like that?"
Although Corvus Glaive knew the battle was lost, the moment he saw it with his own eyes, he still collapsed onto the ground.
Originally, he had been hoping that Thanos might create a miracle, but he hadn't expected that no miracle would appear.
Even Thanos's soul would not exist in this World anymore.
But what followed was fear.
He didn't know what was waiting for them next.
Thanos's army immediately fell into chaos, although many of the Outriders had low intelligence.
But that didn't mean they couldn't feel fear.
On the other side, Tony and the others had expressions of joy on their faces.
"Thanos is finally dead!"
The heart that Steve had been holding in his throat finally settled at this very moment.
As long as Thanos was dead, there was no need to worry about half the population of the entire Universe suddenly disappearing.
"I knew it, this big purple sweet potato was never a match for us!"
Gwen lifted her head, full of confidence; Hode was here, after all.
If Hode had made a move, Thanos would probably have vanished into thin air in a single exchange.
Nebula's face, however, wore a look of mixed emotions.
They had indeed avenged her sister, but Thanos was, after all, her biological father.
"Alright, Nebula, at least we accomplished our goal!"
Star-Lord noticed the change on Nebula's face.
He gently patted Nebula's shoulder and spoke to comfort her.
After all, watching one's own biological father die like this must be a very painful feeling.
Although Thanos certainly wasn't a good person, that didn't mean Nebula's heart was completely unmoved.
After Hela recalled all the undead back to the Realm of the Dead, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hode, I won!"
She looked at Hode with a trace of joy on her face.
"Very good, it seems Hela is getting stronger and stronger!"
Hode replied with a casual, perfunctory remark.
Yet, for some reason, this perfunctory remark made Hela's cheeks flush slightly.
It had to be said that after Hode appeared, he essentially led them in turning the tide.
She knew very well that if Thanos's Infinity Gauntlethadn't been taken by Hode, there was no way she could have been a match for Thanos.
Even that Odin, whom she disliked so much, was no match for Thanos who possessed four stones.
"That's right! What about Vision!"
Just then, Steve suddenly remembered that Vision had been lying on the landing craft not far away all this time.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly brought Tony here.
They saw that Vision was currently fixed to an operating table.
A glaive was stabbed into his shoulder. The moment he saw everyone appear, Vision finally let go of his anxiety.
"You lucky guy, I thought you were dead just a moment ago."
Tony said with the corners of his mouth upturned, his tone teasing.
He had originally thought that Vision's Mind Stone would be taken.
However, he did not expect that the opponent would not strike immediately.
"I am not that easy to kill, hurry up and put me down!"
Vision said with an indifferent expression.
"This doesn't seem right. Where exactly is this variable?"
While everyone was frantically trying to free Vision, Stephen stood to the side, lost in thought.
Although they had indeed won, this result was completely different from the outcomes he had simulated so many times.
In order to win the battle, he had constantly simulated the future; the crux of this battle should have ended in Tony's hands.
However, he did not expect that everything that followed would be completely beyond his expectations.
Not to mention anything else, take Vision for example; Vision should not have been able to survive.
At this moment, the figure of a person flashed through his mind, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Hode.
Yes! All these changes stem from Hode, because according to the original simulations, Wanda should have appeared long ago.
But she had left with Hode, and there was no sign of Hodein the futures he had witnessed.
After realizing this, his eyes widened, as this meant Hode's strength had reached a level he could not imagine.
Because only someone with sufficiently powerful strength could directly jump out of the timeline.
At this time, Hode did not notice Stephen's gaze.
Because the system had actually just issued a reward.
[Congratulations on experiencing the Thanos Deathevent!]
[After assessment, you participated in the entire event; issuing rewards now!]
[Reward obtained: Phoenix Force Fragment (No Will)!]
[Phoenix Force Fragment (6 / 12)]
"I actually managed to collect another piece!"
Hode couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
You must know, it had not been long since he had obtained the previous Phoenix Force Fragment.
Now that he had obtained another one, collecting all the Phoenix Force Fragments was within reach.
Just then, he felt a warm current flowing inside his body.
A surging vitality and an aura filled with annihilation flowed constantly within his body.
As these energies passed through his body, they constantly reshaped it.
With the strengthening, Hode could clearly feel his strength rising rapidly.
One could even say that he was now able to control his body one hundred percent.
This control refers to control in the true sense, such as controlling the direction, flow, and consumption of cells.
The number of heartbeats, and even the hardness of different parts of his body, could be adjusted.
This meant that once in close-quarters combat, he could completely control his muscle movement and bursts.
In an instant, he could burst forth with even more terrifying power, and could even concentrate the power of his entire body into one position.
Not only that, but the shadow of a phoenix flashed through his mind; at this moment, the phoenix in his mind lowered its noble head.
And at this moment, his control could be further increased.
Because he discovered that he could not only reach different locations at will, but also explore the entire Multiverse at will.
What was even more terrifying was that his Phoenix Forcecould now not only revitalize everything.
It could even cause slight changes to the matter within a Planet, such as rapid growth and transformation of matter.
This meant he could even change the surface of a Planet, turning a Planet that was originally soil into one forged from steel.
In other words, at least during his lifetime, there would be no need to worry about an energy crisis.
"I didn't expect that after Thanos died, he would actually fulfill his dream!"
Hode sighed in his heart; actually, he could somewhat understand Thanos's behavior.
It was just that Thanos's actions were far too extreme.
That was why he intended to change the World through such methods.
"By the way, Hode, how should we deal with the army left behind by Thanos!"
At this moment, Tony suddenly said in a grave tone.
After all, Thanos still had a portion of his people and these Outriders left.
"I will go take a look!"
Hode hesitated for a moment and walked outside.
At this time, Thanos's army had not left, but was instead at a loss as to where to go.
The moment they saw Hode walk out, Thanos's army could not help but panic.
They had just seen it; Hode had simply waved his hand, and their army had suffered heavy casualties.
Now, if Hode wanted to wipe them out, it would not be a problem at all.
"Proxima Midnight!"
Hode called out to Proxima Midnight, who was not far away, with an indifferent voice.
"Has it finally come?"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Proxima Midnight's mouth.
She had long been prepared for Death, so when she saw Hode calling her, she took a deep breath and slowly walked in front of Hode.
"I am not a person who likes to kill indiscriminately; from now on, you and Thanos's people will live on Titan!"
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave Titan at will!"
The reason Hode said this was because he had considered it, and the best solution now was to keep them all on Titan.
Moreover, the reason they were drifting in the Universewas entirely because they lacked sufficient resources.
Since that was the case, let them return to their homeland; this way, they could also start a new life.
"Titan?"
Hearing this, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of Proxima Midnight's mouth: "This is just letting us go to die!"
She was very clear about the current state of Titan; without resources and without food, they would ultimately just be waiting obediently for Death here.
It was just using the name of mercy to let them die in pain.
Hode did not speak; he simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
A dark red light instantly covered the entire Titan, and at this moment, an incredible scene occurred.
Surging vitality began to appear constantly on Titan.
An incredible scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
The land that was already covered in grass began to rapidly sprout trees.
And the hills also began to change, and torrential rain began to fall from the sky.
Large lakes formed one after another on Titan.
Even oceans were formed, and even the ground that had turned into sand slowly turned into fertile soil at this moment.
"Titan has come back to life!"
"How is this possible? How on earth was this done!"
"We can continue to live on Titan!"
"So he didn't intend to let us fend for ourselves!"
"..."
They all let out deafening cheers.
No one wanted to watch their loved ones go out to fight.
Now that they had a new home, they would certainly not have any other thoughts.
Proxima Midnight looked at Hode, then looked around, her heart filled with gratitude and sighs.
If Hode could have appeared earlier, Thanos probably would not have embarked on this path.
This abundant vitality is the true power!
...
"Let's go, we are returning to the palace to celebrate!"
Hode's mouth curled up, and he raised his right hand; everyone let out excited cheers.
With a wave of his hand, space suddenly cracked open, and a huge portal appeared.
And on the other side was naturally Asgard.
After they walked in, the torn space slowly closed.
When they walked in, they saw that both sides of the road were already crowded with people.
"Welcome back, heroes!"
"Hela, our Queen, you are the best!"
"Finally back; it seems we don't have to live in fear anymore!"
"..."
The reason they knew this news was because Heimdallhad been monitoring the situation here the entire time.
So they knew this news immediately, and everyone spontaneously walked out onto the streets to cheer for their triumphant return.
Looking at this grand scene, Hela's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
She did not expect that she would actually have a day where she was cheered for.
They walked back into the palace along the laid-out red carpet.
And at this time, delicious food had already been prepared inside.
"I propose one thing; I think we should hand over the Infinity Stones to Hode for safekeeping!"
Actually, just now, Tony had been thinking about this problem.
Although the stones had infinite energy, they would ultimately be coveted by others.
After all, the power of the Infinity Stones was too terrifying; it was not impossible for another Thanos to appear in the future.
But if the Infinity Stones were in Hode's hands, no one could possibly snatch them away.
"I agree!"
Steve and the others could not help but nod.
Because this was indeed the most appropriate method.
This time, it was fortunate that Hode was there, otherwise they would surely have been wiped out.
"I... cannot hand them over to Hode."
But at this moment, Stephen shook his head.
Because this was the bottom line for him as the Sorcerer Supreme.
This was also the heritage of their Sanctum.
"It's fine; just one stone won't cause too much trouble."
Hode waved his hand indifferently; in fact, these Infinity Stones did not have much use for him.
Moreover, possessing the Phoenix Force, he truly did not care about the Infinity Stones.
"But my..."
At this moment, Vision, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Are you sure you want to remove it? I can guarantee your safety."
Hode said without hesitation.
Vision nodded without hesitation. It had to be said that while the Stone provided convenience, it also brought significant trouble.
After obtaining Vision's consent, a dark red light radiated from Hode's hand.
As the light approached, the Mind Stone was silently removed from Vision's head.
At the victory banquet, Hode casually placed the retrieved Infinity Stones in the very center.
As time passed, everyone present became drowsy from drinking.
Thor even collapsed on the ground, fast asleep!
Just then, Hela walked over to Hode's side.
Bringing with her a faint scent of perfume, a gentle breeze tickled Hode's ear.
When those words were spoken, Hode's eyes widened instantly!
"This… this is actually an offering?!"
