The nature and positioning of this battle struck T'Challa and Peter Parker, who was rushing over as Spider-Man, as strange.
First, He-El stood facing Thanos, who possessed three Infinity Stones.
Then, the Guardians of the Galaxy—Star-Lord Peter Quill, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Mantis—were faintly positioned behind and to Thanos's side, able to see the three Stones on Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet.
Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, Thor, and Destroyer Drax stood behind and to He-El's side, where they could see He-El's movements in profile and Thanos from the front.
Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, and T'Challa stood on the outer ring of He-El and Thanos's confrontation, watching them both.
Tony Stark stood opposite them, likewise facing He-El and Thanos.
Stephen Strange had taken to the sky, vaguely facing He-El.
This encirclement made T'Challa and Peter Parker, who was hurrying over while watching them, feel as though they were not primarily dealing with an alien invading Earth, but mainly targeting He-El while remaining wary of Thanos.
"Give me the Reality Stone and Mind Stone in your possession. I promise I will not destroy Earth," Thanos said, ignoring everyone else as he stared expressionlessly at He-El.
Using the three Infinity Stones, he had vaguely sensed that He-El possessed two more Infinity Stones.
He-El had originally defeated Odin in Asgard, establishing ownership of the Reality Stone. In addition, the Mind Stone that had originally belonged to him had fallen to Earth and been acquired by He-El.
Thanos was certain that the two Infinity Stones in He-El's possession were the Reality Stone and the Mind Stone.
Though the Mind Stone had changed hands several times through many twists and turns, it had never truly escaped He-El's control, and now it had ultimately returned to his hand.
