Blotting Out the Sky

Despite Xia Yu's prior preparations, AC City took two whole days and two nights to conquer.

After seven waves of Thanos's army, the entire AC City was almost reduced to ruins.

Apart from the Avengers Compound, which has always been tightly protected by Energy Shield.

If we hadn't been prepared in advance and evacuated many ordinary residents, who knows how many people would have died.

If Tony hadn't used his talent to perfectly develop the uses of the Reality Stone...

By now, the Avengers should have suffered some casualties in this battle, but fortunately, so far only a few gladiators brought back from Sakaar have died.

From one Thanos in the first wave, to three in the second, then twenty, and in the fourth wave there were forty.

For some reason, fewer people came the fifth time—only thirty-five.

Then it's forty, fifty.

Looking around, the entire AC City had been completely transformed by Tony, bit by bit, into a war fortress.

Tony, who had the Reality Stone, used it to create a large number of anti-aircraft cannons entirely from Vibranium.

The high-rate-of-fire gunpowder weapon wasn't because energy weapons were ineffective; rather, Tony simply used Vibranium to conjure a large number of bullets.

It's practically cheating—a simple six-barreled Gatling paired with indestructible Vibranium bullets.

The Winter Soldier alone could hold off an army of tens of thousands.

There are just too many enemies. The seventh wave ended less than an hour ago, and it's unclear when the next one will be.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while?"

Natasha appeared beside Xia Yu without him noticing, gently wrapped her arms around Xia Yu waist from behind, and pressed her face against his back as Xia Yu spoke.

"Go and rest. I'm fine. It's only been two days, and I've taken turns resting for a long time in between."

Xia Yu turned his head, gently kissed Natasha's forehead, and said tenderly.

With everyone now holding Godhood positions, Xia Yu wasn't worried about their health during the two-day break between battles.

The key issue is mental exhaustion; even Xia Yu was exhausted after that last wave of attacks.

Everyone has the urge to just lie down on the ground and take a long, deep nap.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Natasha did not follow Xia Yu suggestion to rest, but instead changed the subject and asked a question.

"What exactly does the Time Variance Authority want? Why not send more people all at once? Are they trying to wear us down and break our morale?"

Xia Yu didn't quite understand this either.

Loki, this disguised traitor, has no idea what the situation is like over there.

He only received orders to blow up the Avengers Compound.

"There are two possibilities: they are also stalling for time, preparing some trump card; or, each teleportation requires some energy or other preparation, which explains the irregular number of teleportations."

"In any case, this is a tough battle. No one knows how long it will take for the River of Destiny to merge completely, or how long it will take for it to take effect. So you should listen to me and go rest for a while."

Xia Yu turned around, put his hands on Natasha's shoulders, and said seriously.

Just as she turned around and finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened, and Natasha said softly, "It seems we don't have time to rest anymore, my dear."

Even without Natasha's reminder, Xia Yu knew the enemy had arrived, and at the same time, alarms in the base began to sound frantically.

Xia Yu looked up at the sky.

The sky was completely covered by Thanos's Sanctuary III, which completely enveloped the entire AC City.

Xia Yu and Natasha exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised horror.

Given the Avengers' current strength and level of preparation, Thanos's army is no longer of any use.

The various automated or F.R.I.D.A.Y.- controlled weapons and robots created by Tony can effectively defend the entire AC City.

Even the entire Earth, but only Thanos.

A large number of Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet Thanos wielding the five Infinity Stones.

Although almost everyone has an Infinity Stones now, regardless of how skilled they are at using it.

At least they are no longer afraid of Thanos using the power of the Infinity Stones.

However, very few members of the Thanos could stand up to Avengers on their own.

Only Xia Yu knew that the previous incidents were all for the sake of preventing any casualties among the group.

The Captain pulled everyone together, forming a defensive circle, allowing Xia Yu to roam and kill on the outside.

This allowed the Avengers to survive without any casualties.

But this time, Xia Yu didn't know exactly how many there were.

Let Natasha go and help the others prepare.

Xia Yu activated his Armor and flew into the sky, coldly gazing at the endless Sanctuary III above.

"For the sake of me, this so-called person who defies fate, just how many universes' worth of power have you mobilized? Can't you just do it all at once and be done with it?"

"You represent the Cosmic Will, can't you do something befitting your status?"

Xia Yu shouted loudly towards the sky.

Above Xia Yu's head, a beam of light shone down from a spaceship, and a figure was teleported down.

It appeared in mid-air, about ten meters away from Xia Yu.

To Xia Yu's surprise, it wasn't Thanos appeared this time.

It was the Black-Clad Man that he had killed before.

The so-called director of the Time Variance Authority.

"Oh, the main character has appeared. Are you preparing for a final showdown? Are you currently an avatar, or the real director of the Time Variance Authority?"

Xia Yu looked coldly at the Black-Clad Man in front of him and said.

Long before Xia Yu and Tony traveled through time together, Xia Yu stayed in the Quantum Realm and destroyed a Time Variance Authority.

The words spoken by the Black-Clad Man, along with the Black-Clad Man that Tony and Natasha encountered in another parallel world.

Xia Yu already knew that the Black-Clad Man was not just one person, but rather a single entity controlling many clones.

"You surprise me. To be honest, you did a little better than your previous life, or even better than Yuwen Feishuang. I didn't expect that. To show my respect for you, I made a special trip here."

The Black-Clad Man stood in mid-air, facing Xia Yu, and spoke without any apparent pressure.

"So you really do know everything. You're just standing there in front of me, aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now? If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be able to fight in a normal universe."

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a sharp, murderous aura.

If killing this Black-Clad Man could truly end everything, Xia Yu would act without hesitation.

"You want to kill me? It's useless. Although I can't fight back here, you still can't kill me. Besides, even if you did kill me, it wouldn't matter. I'm just an administrator at the Time Variance Authority. If you kill me, the universe will choose someone else to replace me. It's useless, Xia Yu."

But I want to try!

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of the Black-Clad Man.
