Doctor Strange's Images of Ikonn magic was incomparably miraculous—ordinary methods could not pierce through to his true form.
But the existence of the Soul Stone allowed Thanos to directly bypass the illusions and attack his real body.
After all, no matter how many illusions there were, Doctor Strange had only one soul.
[Under the purple shockwave from the Infinity Gauntlet, countless Doctor Strange illusions in the air instantly collapsed, disappearing completely, leaving only the one true form.]
["Ahh!" Doctor Strange staggered mid-air, barely maintaining his balance.]
[At that moment, Thanos reached through the air and pulled Doctor Strange's body toward him.]
[Gripping Strange by the neck, Thanos said coldly, "You're full of tricks, wizard."]
[Thanos snatched the Eye of Agamotto from Strange's chest. He glanced at it and sneered, "Yet you never once used your greatest weapon."]
["Snap!"]
[With a forceful squeeze from his right hand, the Eye of Agamotto crumbled into pieces, scattering in the wind.]
[Surprisingly, it was completely empty inside, with no trace of the Time Stone.]
["A fake."]
[With a wave of his left hand, Thanos threw Doctor Strange away.]
[Strange's body rolled across the ground for a long distance before collapsing unconscious.]
[Thanos raised his hand, preparing to finish Strange with the Infinity Gauntlet.]
[Suddenly, a mechanical device shot out, forcibly restraining his left hand so he could not close his fist.]
["You throw another moon at me, I'll lose it!"]
[A gold-and-red armor fell from the sky with a thud, landing on the ground.]
"What… that voice?"
Seeing the nearly intact gold-and-red suit on screen, Tony Stark's heart jolted, pupils contracting sharply, almost shouting aloud.
Why did that voice sound so familiar?
Could it be that the person who made this suit is…
At that moment, the screen showed Thanos speaking a name.
["Stark!"]
["You know me?"]
[Iron Man was momentarily surprised.]
["I do."]]
[A faint, unfathomable smile appeared on Thanos' face: "You are not the only one cursed with knowledge."]
Seeing this, Loki, Strange, and Peter Parker all focused their gaze on Tony Stark.
Their eyes were filled with shock and surprise.
The person controlling that suit was… the mustachioed man in front of them!
And Thanos actually valued him so highly.
Who exactly was this guy?
"It's me! Really me! Hahaha…"
A wave of wild joy swept through Tony's body. He lifted his head and laughed excitedly.
Of course!
Who else could make such a beautiful and powerful suit besides him?
[The footage continued.]
[Several micro-missiles were launched from Iron Man's back, instantly striking Thanos and triggering a massive explosion.]
[Iron Man seized the moment and charged forward. Both arms transformed into something like pile drivers, launching a fierce assault on Thanos, knocking him back with a loud impact!]
[Despite the heavy blow, Thanos showed no weakness. He reached out and tore off Iron Man's helmet.]
[Immediately after, Thanos ripped away the mechanical restraining device on the Infinity Gauntlet and fired a purple energy beam.]
[Boom!]
[Iron Man's arms instantly transformed into a massive shield, blocking the shockwave from the Power Stone.]
Seeing this, even Odin on the Asgardian throne showed a hint of astonishment in his single eye.
This was an attack from the Power Stone.
This human… just how durable was that suit?
[Iron Man shifted his position. After deflecting the shockwave, he suddenly charged next to Thanos, leaping and stomping Thanos' left hand into the ground.]
[Then, Iron Man's fist transformed into a high-tech giant hammer glowing blue, smashing fiercely into Thanos' face.]
[Clang!]
[Thanos staggered from the impact.]
[He raised his right hand to touch his face and then stared.]
[There was a drop of blood.]
[Finally, someone had caused him to bleed.]
[At that moment, the footage on the screen suddenly froze, as if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button.]
Yet even with the scene paused, everyone watching the screen still felt immense shock!
The seemingly invincible Thanos—who had easily defeated Thor and the Hulk, and crushed Doctor Strange—had been wounded by an ordinary human!
This was the first time Thanos had ever been injured since his appearance!
Sitting on his throne, Odin exhaled lightly.
"What an incredible human!"
"To be able to fight Thanos, who possesses four Infinity Stones, to this degree… truly a mortal standing shoulder to shoulder with gods!"
"Mr. Tony, your suit is amazing!"
Peter Parker stared at Tony Stark, his voice trembling with excitement.
As a high school student with a keen interest in science, Peter could appreciate the brilliance of that incredible suit far more than most people.
This Iron Man suit could freely transform into all sorts of weapons, almost as if it were alive!
"Haha, do you even need to ask?"
Tony's face flushed with pride as he laughed triumphantly.
Seeing that marvelous nanotech suit on the screen ignited his inner scientist's soul.
If he weren't trapped in this otherworldly livestream, he would've already rushed to the lab to try to turn this suit into reality!
[Thor: You… a mere mortal, and yet you can wound Thanos? What kind of godly weapon are you wielding?]
[Tony Stark: Godly weapon? I'm using the suit I built myself.]
[Thor: Impossible! A mortal weapon could never harm that mad titan.]
[Thor: Could it be… you're not an ordinary mortal, but some god of forging?]
[Tony Stark: Hahaha, I don't know any gods.]
Seeing Thanos half-kneeling on the ground, one hand pressed under Iron Man's foot, and blood flowing from his face, Tony felt immense satisfaction.
As expected, no matter how powerful that purple tyrant was, as soon as he acted, he could immediately turn the tide of battle!
At this moment, the cold voice of the system echoed in the livestream.
[Question begins: In this battle, did Tony Stark defeat Thanos?]
