Infinity War's End
Thanos:???
For a fleeting moment, Thanos thought he was looking in a mirror.
However, the warrior in the "mirror" was wearing armor that was even more magnificent than the tattered armor he was wearing at that moment.
Surprised?
"Ben I asked, jokingly."
This is what Little Broken Watch looks like after extracting the Eternal Race Gene from Thanos's body.
He can enhance his physical functions and intelligence, and also possesses abilities such as immortality, telepathy, and Matter Manipulation. It can be said that he has almost all of Thanos's abilities, and is superior in every aspect!
The name of this form, Atlas, is also the name of the giant in mythology who held up the heavens and the earth.
"You do indeed possess the ability to transform into other races," Thanos whispered.
He couldn't say he was particularly surprised, since Thanos had already learned from Loki's memories that the King of Sakaar possessed the ability to transform into other races.
Moreover, Thanos was the first enemy to see through the source of this power.
"Is that what gave you this power?"
He reached out and touched the symbol embedded in Ben's body. "Is this the Omnitrix that Vilgax was talking about?"
Thanos can now understand why Vilgax was so obsessed with the Little Broken Watch.
If there's no upper limit to the population of DNA that device can extract...
Imagine that one day, even the genes of the Five Major Abstracts might be extracted.
From this perspective, the Infinity Stones don't seem so significant after all.
only...
"You don't think you can defeat me by turning into me, do you?"
Thanos countered with a question.
He was fully aware of his strength, though part of it stemmed from his original talent. He had also undergone certain physical modifications.
That device extracts his genes; it's probably useless against any physical modifications he might have made later in life.
This is Thanos's advantage at this moment.
Now, let's see whether the genetic optimization of the Little Broken Watch is more powerful, or whether Thanos's modification of himself is superior.
And so, amidst the flowing lava, the two tall, purple-clad warriors clashed fists together once more.
The force of their punches, like slashing air currents, relentlessly destroyed everything around them.
But outside of this battlefield.
The satellite that Thanos had pulled into the sky was now heading closer and closer to Xandar after it lost its orbit.
The satellite that went out of orbit has been completely captured by Xandar. Once the balance between the planets is broken, there is probably no chance of recovery.
Therefore, even though all the Chitauri warriors had been wiped out, and Ronan the Accuser had been defeated by Bill, Captain America, and the Winter Soldier, there was absolutely no joy of victory on any of their faces.
On the contrary, Ronan, who had been arrested, was overjoyed.
He burst into unrestrained laughter, mocking the powerlessness of the Galactic Plumbers and Xandar.
"Destroy!"
"This is the fate of Xandar!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Upon hearing his words, Bill angrily struck him with the hammer again.
Do you think you can survive the impact of two planets colliding?
"I don't care!" Ronan said bluntly. "As long as Xandar is destroyed, as long as I can avenge my parents, it will all be worth it!"
You've lost!
He said sarcastically.
Ronan didn't care about the price he paid; in his view, the destruction of Xandar was already inevitable.
Who can stop a giant satellite from crashing into Xandar?
Whether it's the Galactic Plumbers or the Nova Corps, everything they do is in vain.
At this moment, Queen Adora was utterly desperate.
The approaching satellite represents a countdown to destruction.
How long until the satellite arrives?
Caiera immediately asked Loki in space.
Inside the Giant Battleship, Loki calculated the satellite's speed and distance, then solemnly replied:
"Three hours later, the satellite will collide with Xandar, but an hour later, due to the gravitational pull between the two planets, Xandar will begin to tear apart."
"That means we only have one hour."
Steve's expression was also grim.
This crisis had clearly exceeded the limits of what he, the man with the shield, could handle.
But he still asked, "Could the Giant Battleship take the inhabitants of Xandar away?"
It's not just about the Giant Battleship; Thanos's army has almost completely collapsed, and Sanctuary can also accommodate millions of people.
But Queen Adora shook her head sadly.
"It's impossible to evacuate everyone in just one hour."
She raised her head, the despair in her eyes widening, as if she were drowning in a deep well.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't been so arrogant back then, things might not have turned out this way."
"While there's still time, you should leave on your own. If you get caught in the explosion of the planetary collision, you might be in danger."
At this moment, Queen Adora had completely given up hope.
She didn't even plan to leave with the Galactic Plumbers, because for the Xandar, the planet meant everything.
If Xandar is destroyed, those who leave this place will exist in name only.
Queen Adora stood up, took Caiera's hand, and said:
"The Xandar will forever remember the Galactic Plumbers's help on Sakaar. Now that everything is beyond repair, if you don't mind, please take the Worldmind with you."
"The Worldmind?"
Caiera was startled.
She never expected that Queen Adora would, at the last moment, hand over Xandar's most crucial technology—the source of the Nova Force.
"Indeed, this is Xandar's greatest invention," Adora said sadly. "The Worldmind not only provides Nova Force, but also records Xandar's history and civilization."
"Xandar may soon become cosmic dust, but I hope that Xandar's history and civilization can continue..."
"I have witnessed the immense power of Sakaar and the Galactic Plumbers. I believe you will become a civilization even more prosperous than the Three Great Empires. As long as Sakaar exists, people will always remember that there was once a planet in this universe called Xandar, and a powerful force called the Nova Force."
Adora's words moved even Caiera deeply.
As destruction loomed, the person who held the highest authority on Xandar did not abandon her people, but instead decided to remain there and perish with her homeland.
At that moment, a silver shadow plummeted down from the sky.
It's Brunnhilde.
As soon as she landed, she swiftly walked to Queen Adora and then—
Smack!
Brunnhilde delivered a resounding and powerful blow to Queen Adora.
Brunnhilde, what are you doing?
Even Queen Adora was a little confused, let alone Caiera.
"I was just teaching a lesson to an arrogant fool!" Brunnhilde glared angrily at Queen Adora, her anger blazing. "Don't think that just because you're queen you can decide everyone's fate!"
"What if someone doesn't want to die?!"
Brunnhilde detested the struggle for royal power most of all.
Once, the battle between Odin and Hela completely annihilated the entire Valkyries army, leaving her as the sole survivor.
Both are kings, but some lead their people to a new life, while others choose to await destruction.
This slap woke Adora up.
"You're right, perhaps I truly have no right to decide the life and death of the Xandar."
She glanced at the satellite in the sky again.
Then, filled with gratitude and expectation, he pleaded, "Then I beg you, please lead the remnants of the Worldmind and Xandar away from this planet..."
Snap!!
Brunnhilde slapped him again with her backhand.
"Why did you hit me again?!" This time, Queen Adora was truly stunned.
Are you kidding me, sis?
I let them die, and you beat me; I let them live, and you beat me again. What exactly do you want from me?
At this moment, Queen Adora's gaze towards Brunnhilde was tinged with grievance.
Bill was starting to find it unbearable and looked at the Valkyries with some hesitation:
"Hilde, aren't you going a bit too far?"
Brunnhilde glared at him and snapped, "I think you deserve a beating too!"
Bill:???
No, what does that have to do with me?
Bill decided it was best to keep quiet.
Brunnhilde crossed her arms, her silver armor gleaming, and looked at Queen Adora, saying confidently:
"To presume to make such a will is utterly disrespectful to our Sakaar King!"
Adora was taken aback, snot still dripping from her face. "What do you mean?"
"It's just a small asteroid. Do you really think King of Sakaar can't do anything about it? If you think that way, you're seriously underestimating the Galactic Plumbers!"
"Does your warship possess weapons capable of destroying planets?"
Queen Adora's eyes lit up.
Brunnhilde shook her head.
"No, but we have King of Sakaar!"
She smiled slightly, then stepped aside, and immediately a crimson shadow descended from the sky.
Thump!!
The Ben landed in the palace, having traveled several kilometers.
Upon seeing his appearance, many people instantly became alert and assumed a fighting stance.
Thanos?
However, the members of the Craftsmen's Galactic Plumbers couldn't possibly mistake it, because the mark on Ben's body was too conspicuous.
"It's me."
Although Steve and the Winter Soldier were also present, Ben immediately deactivated his transformation, since with his current strength, he no longer needed to hide.
"Wang, where is Thanos?"
Caiera immediately went to greet her and said respectfully.
"No need to ask, of course he's dead," Brunnhilde said matter-of-factly.
"Brunnhilde understands me best." Ben nodded in agreement.
In the end, he had a fair duel with Thanos, and Thanos still lost to him. Ben showed no mercy; he directly used the Tyrant Butcher Blade, which had been broken in two, to pierce Thanos's chest and sever Thanos's head.
"Alright, let's address the satellite issue now."
Ben transforms again, this time into Four Arms.
What he wanted to do was use the power of the Power Stone to directly destroy the approaching satellite!
Thus, under the watchful eyes of Queen Adora and countless Xandarian, they witnessed this miraculous sight.
The shattered satellite transformed into Infinity shower of meteors, streaking brilliantly across the sky above Xandar. The impending crisis of destruction became, in this moment, a celebration of King of Sakaar!
Adora stared in disbelief, her eyes fixed solely on Ben's powerful silhouette; nothing else could be seen.
Brunnhilde was extremely pleased with herself.
"That's why I said, never underestimate the power of King of Sakaar! Is there anything else you'd like to say, Queen of Xandar?"
Adora smacked her lips and tentatively asked, "Since Xandar doesn't need to be destroyed, should we leave the Worldmind intact?"
Brunnhilde:???
"Roll!!"
