Once the question appeared, Thor immediately started shouting in the livestream chat:
[Thor: Impossible! How could Thanos be defeated by this mortal?!]
[Thor: That damn purple tyrant—if he's going to die, it should be at my hands!]
[Tony Stark: This question is simple. Since my future self could wound that purple tyrant, of course I could kill him.]
[Tony Stark: So my answer is—victory. I defeated Thanos!]
[Stephen Strange: Stark, you're still a little too arrogant…]
In the otherworldly livestream, Tony Stark raised his head and answered without hesitation.
For someone always brimming with confidence like Tony, defeat was never a consideration.
Moreover, judging from the footage, the image of him clearly had the upper hand!
[Ding! Tony Stark has answered. The Q&A system begins evaluation…]
[Ding! Tony Stark's answer is incorrect.]
[Random penalty awarded: One-third of Stark Industries' shares erased, immediately executed.]
"What? I actually lost?"
Tony's eyes widened. His once confident gaze froze instantly, and a tidal wave of anxiety rose in his chest.
Shares could rise or fall, but how could they be erased?
If Tony previously held controlling interest in Stark Industries, losing a third of the shares meant he could now only be a shareholder!
But more terrifying than this was his future.
If he really lost to that purple tyrant in the future, wouldn't it mean even his life could be at risk?
Seeing this, Loki prepared to answer, but unexpectedly someone responded faster than him!
"Defeated. Tony Stark lost to Thanos."
[Ding! Stephen Strange has answered. The Q&A system begins evaluation…]
[Ding! Stephen Strange's answer is correct.]
"You…"
Tony suddenly turned to Strange, his expression darkening considerably.
Seeing Tony's grim face, Strange shook his head:
"You're far too arrogant, just like I once was."
Glancing down at his own hands, Strange sighed inwardly.
Only after suffering severe injury, having his career ruined, and nearly collapsing in life, did he truly realize how arrogant he had once been.
[Stephen Strange gains 100 livestream points, which can be used to access past or future events related to himself.]
[Stephen Strange receives a random reward: The Horse Talisman of the Twelve Talismans!]
"Twelve Talismans?"
Looking at the octagonal talisman in his hand engraved with a horse pattern, Strange's eyes filled with curiosity.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a surge of energy flow from the Horse Talisman, spreading through his entire body in an instant.
Under the influence of this energy, his hands—which had trembled uncontrollably for years—gradually calmed.
"My hands! Is this an illusion?"
Staring at his hands in disbelief, Strange's face was full of astonishment; he almost thought he was dreaming!
Not even modern medicine, nor the Ancient One herself, had been able to heal his hands.
How could this small talisman possess such powerful magic?
At that moment, a series of messages suddenly entered Strange's mind.
[Horse Talisman: Eliminates all abnormal external forces within the body, can dispel all ailments and remove all injuries. Neutralizes harmful abnormal influences, restoring the body to a normal state, and drives out any malicious external forces.]
[Able to eliminate all interference and restore, capable of returning any broken or damaged matter to its complete quality, representing restoration to the most perfect state.]
"This Horse Talisman… can actually restore all matter to perfect condition! This is incredible!"
Stunned by the messages flooding his mind, Strange gasped and looked at the talisman in his hand with entirely new eyes.
While he stood there in shock, the livestream footage resumed.
[Thanos forcefully pulled his left hand, sending Iron Man—who was stepping on it—tumbling several times through the air before crashing to the ground.]
[Before Iron Man could react, Thanos advanced, throwing a punch directly at his face.]
["Bang! Bang! Bang!"]
[The terrifying blows fell like a violent storm, leaving Iron Man dizzy and reeling.]
[Grabbing Iron Man by the head and lifting him into the air, Thanos' Power Stone glowed on the Infinity Gauntlet, and a single strike sent Iron Man flying.]
["Ugh…"]
[Iron Man rolled across the ground; his suit was damaged in multiple places, even exposing his head.]
[However, due to the nanotech suit's incredible performance, the undamaged parts began flowing like liquid, attempting to repair the broken areas.]
[Seeing Thanos approaching, Iron Man gritted his teeth and raised both hands, releasing golden beams.]
[But Thanos simply raised the Infinity Gauntlet, blocking all the beams Iron Man fired.]
[Advancing through the beams, Thanos reached Iron Man and slammed his fist down with tremendous force.]
[Iron Man barely absorbed Thanos' punch, then condensed his nanotech suit into a sharp short spear on his right hand and desperately thrust it toward Thanos!]
