"No!!!!! Don't give him the Time Stone!"
When Vision saw that Thanos had obtained the final Infinity Stone, he immediately let out a despairing cry from the Sky City where Allen had brought him.
He had sensed Thanos's crazed thoughts and his will as unshakable as stone from up close.
That meant more than half of all life in the universe, including Earth, would vanish forever.
For Vision, who cherished life deeply, that was an absolutely unacceptable outcome.
But unfortunately, there was nothing he could do now. He could only watch helplessly as it happened.
Not only Vision—even Thor, Iron Man Tony Stark, and everyone else present were stunned by Doctor Strange's sudden surrender.
No!

Yet Thanos wore an expression of fatherly satisfaction. "A wise choice, Sorcerer. You avoided a battle destined for defeat and saved the lives of those companions who foolishly sought to resist. Believe me, after half of all life vanishes forever, the entire universe will be reborn. Those who remain will have more resources and no longer suffer poverty and hunger. They will live better lives than before. And those who disappear will not feel any pain."
"I have no interest in your so-called noble ideals. I did this to prevent the flames of war from reaching Earth. The Sorcerer Supreme's duty is to protect human civilization, and you already possess the power to destroy it."
Stephen Strange ignored the strange looks from everyone around him and gave his reason directly.
