[Thanos, worn and weathered: "…The hardest choices require the strongest wills."]
[Doctor Strange stood, waving both hands, and a magical shield formed in his grasp.]
["Think you'll find our will equal to yours."]
["Our?"]
Thanos instinctively looked up, only to see a fragment of a satellite hurtling from the sky at incredible speed. With a deafening "BOOM," it crashed onto him.
But as the Power Stone glowed, the massive debris was instantly obliterated by Thanos.
Then, the Reality Stone on Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet shone a deep crimson once more.
Thanos roared and waved his left hand; the fragments instantly transformed into countless monstrous birds, scattering in all directions.
[Peter Parker: Whoa, what's going on? How did those debris turn into birds?]
[Mordo: That's the power of the Reality Stone! It's said that whoever wields it can alter reality with their will alone!]
[Stephen Strange: Alter reality? How is that possible? Is this… magic?]
[Mordo: Magic can't do this. This is the most fundamental power in the universe!]
Doctor Strange continued unleashing spells, and the others joined forces to attack Thanos, yet they still couldn't deal him a fatal blow.
Seeing that Thanos seemed about to use the Infinity Stones again, Strange quickly issued a command to his cloak:
["Don't let him clench his fist."]
As if sentient, Strange's cloak suddenly flew up on its own, dashing toward Thanos's left hand and completely enveloping the Gauntlet.
Thanos tore off the floating cloak from his left hand, and suddenly countless miniature missiles rained down from the sky.
[BOOM!]
With a deafening roar, Thanos was engulfed in flames.
"Whoa… that robot… no, that's an armored suit!"
Watching the Iron Man suit descend from the sky, continuously firing missiles, Tony Stark's pupils constricted, and he couldn't look away.
As a genius engineer, he was instantly captivated by the gold-and-red armor.
And the person wearing it—Tony's curiosity peaked.
Who could create such a masterpiece of mechanical armor?
Could this be the "Iron Man" the system mentioned before?
[Though Thanos was surrounded by fire, he extended his left hand, and the raging flames were completely absorbed by the Infinity Gauntlet.]
[Then, the fire surged out from the Gauntlet like a torch, striking Iron Man and blasting him far away.]
[After sending Iron Man flying, Thanos easily knocked down Spider-Man.]
[Even when a flying vehicle fell on him, he still stood.]
[Thor: Damn it! If I were here, just let me wield Mjolnir, I'd smash this Thanos's head in one strike.]
[Loki Odinson: You better stop mentioning that hammer. Didn't you see in the last livestream—you didn't just lose your hammer, you also lost an eye?]
[Thor: My… hammer! My eye! How could this happen? ]
Seeing that Thanos was nearly unstoppable, Doctor Strange waved both hands, releasing several crimson energy bands that tightly bound Thanos's left hand.
"That's… the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak!"
Mordo's expression changed drastically, deeply moved.
This spell, the "Crimson Bands," is not only extremely difficult to master, but to fully wield it, one must channel the crimson magic of Cyttorak, the extradimensional demon of the Crimson Realm!
Dealing with an extradimensional demon is not only difficult but extremely dangerous. Even Mordo himself wouldn't dare take that risk.
Yet on the screen, Doctor Strange simply raised his hand and several crimson bands shot out, tightly binding Thanos.
Clearly, his mastery of magic had reached an extraordinary level!
Who would have thought that this current newbie apprentice could one day become so powerful!
[With Doctor Strange and the others working together, they finally succeeded in restraining Thanos.]
[They even used Mantis to control Thanos's mind, forcing him into a semi-conscious, semi-asleep state.]
Seeing this, everyone in front of the screen finally exhaled in relief.
[Peter Parker: Phew, I guess we've won this time.]
[Mordo: Not yet! We still have to get that gauntlet off his hand. That Infinity Gauntlet is the source of this purple monster's power!]
Just when everyone thought the battle was settled, the screen changed again.
[Spider-Man was desperately pulling at Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly lost control and launched a wild attack on Thanos.]
[Although Iron Man later intervened to pull him away, Thanos woke up from his semi-conscious state!]
[Peter Parker: Oh no! Who is that guy? Why did he wake Thanos at this exact moment!?]
[Thor: Damn it! That idiot is all talk and no skill—if I see him, I'll crush him myself!]
Effortlessly pushing everyone aside, Thanos raised his hand toward the enormous moon in the sky and forcefully pulled downward.
[BOOM!]
Under the purple glow of the Power Stone, the lunar crust was pulverized by Thanos.
Countless fragments became meteors, hurtling through the atmosphere like a meteor shower, crashing down toward Iron Man and the others.
"Oh my god!"
Watching this apocalyptic scene on the screen, Peter Parker's hair stood on end, goosebumps covering his arms.
Around him, Tony and the others also gasped in shock.
Loki, Thor, and Mordo were all equally stunned by the sight.
Terrifying!
Horrifying!
This destructive power, capable of leveling the earth and heavens, was beyond anything they had ever seen or heard of!
Thanos had actually summoned a meteor shower from nothing!
It was simply unbelievable!
