Two star systems outside the Knowhere.

A blood-red storm suddenly surged up on the gray planet, followed by a petite figure carrying a greatsword rolling out in a panic.

It was Gamora, who had already Thanos.

"This distance should be enough..."

Thanos breathed a sigh of relief. He had already jumped countless light-years, and an unknown enemy in the Knowhere was holding off Ben Parker for him. Now he only needed to erase the energy fluctuations of the gems to completely hide himself.

Thanos actually felt he didn't need to be so vigilant.

Tracking using the vibrations of gems requires a certain level of skill or magical power. While Space Stone can open a spatial passage, it cannot pinpoint the exact location.

"Encountering that guy in the Knowhere was unexpected, but thankfully the outcome was good... the plan is going smoothly," Thanos muttered to himself. "Now all I need to do is find a secluded place and rebuild my body."

Thanos was already somewhat disheartened after his Superpowers were absorbed by Vilgax.

But to his surprise, his daughter Gamora gave him a wonderful surprise.

Ben Parker couldn't kill him, Vilgax couldn't kill him, Gamora certainly couldn't.

Even the Soul Stone failed to destroy Thanos's Soul Stone; instead, it allowed him to possess the stone, hovering around Gamora day and night, putting Gamora.

However, at that time he could only exist by relying on the gem, because he only had Soul Stone and no matter as a foundation, so he could not actively exert the energy of the gem.

Later, Gamora did something foolish—that silly child actually tried to use the power of the Reality Stone to destroy the Soul Stone in order to free herself.

To be honest, Thanos was happy to see this happen.

Because he already knew what the consequences would be.

As expected, Gamora failed. Not only did she fail to destroy the Soul Stone, but the collision of the two stones' energies also damaged her own Soul Stone, giving Thanos an opportunity.

Thanks to this, he was able to break free from the Soul Stone and fill the Soul Stone in Gamora's Soul Stone with his own, thus gaining control over Gamora.

However, he was not satisfied with Gamora's body.

They are far too weak.

To realize his grand ideals, it would be impossible with such a weak body, even if he now possessed two Infinity Stones.

It is a tragedy to hold a gemstone but be unable to unleash its full potential.

"I wonder how that guy Vilgax is doing now."

Thanos thought to himself.

Although Vilgax ultimately betrayed him, Thanos wasn't actually too angry. Regardless of Vilgax's motives, Thanos clearly saw that the other party was not a good person.

Vilgax wants to achieve his goal, he will inevitably engage in brutal slaughter, which will reduce the total number of life forms in the universe.

The number might not meet Thanos's expectations, and it might not be fair either.

It's okay, you'll be fine once you recover.

"I will adjudicate this matter in the fairest way possible, and the entire universe should be grateful that I gave them a second chance."

No one will thank you, Thanos.

Behind Thanos, a cloud-like mist parted, and a blonde woman stepped out, calmly looking at him.

"You... the one who's with Ben Parker?"

Thanos was startled and instinctively tried to escape, but the energy of the Aether Particle enveloped him once again. However, when the wave receded, he remained in the same spot.

"It's no use. I've sealed off the space around you with the Space Stone. Don't even think about using the Reality Stone to escape again."

"A smart girl, but also a bit silly."

Thanos calmed down, because he only saw Eunice: "You think you can defeat me with just one Infinity Stones?"

Great, the enemy team doesn't have Ben Parker!

Thanos felt confident that as long as Ben Parker wasn't around, there was nothing to fear. In Thanos's eyes, the rest of the Galactic Plumbers were just a rabble.

In his eyes, Korbin's Security Officer was no better than Ronan, and there was Thor, whom Gamora had met not long ago. The Prince of Asgard had fallen to such a state, so one could imagine that the others in the Galactic Plumbers were no better off.

The woman in front of him wasn't even Security Officer; she was probably of similar status to Nebula, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"I really have to thank that guy who caused trouble in the Knowhere, and of course, you too," Thanos smiled. "Thank you for delivering the Infinity Stones to my hands!"

Even he, who was once the ruler of the universe, never possessed all three Infinity Stones at the same time.

He originally possessed the Mind Stone, but lost it during the invasion of Earth. Later, he obtained the Power Stone, only to discover that it was a fake.

Thanos still hasn't figured out how that fake gem was created.

"I need to ask first, is that gem in your hand fake?"

"Take a guess?"

Eunice gave a sweet smile, clenched her fist, and then flipped it over, but nothing fell; the gem had vanished as if by magic.

Don't try anything funny with me, girl!

Thanos's face darkened, and he immediately attacked, swinging his greatsword with a whooshing sound.

Clang!!

A metallic clang rang out.

Eunice did not dodge, but instead fearlessly extended her arm, directly using her body to meet Thanos's blade.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Surprisingly, Thanos's attack was blocked even before it could penetrate Eunice's clothes; her slender arms were as hard as steel and did not budge in the slightest.

"It seems that even Thanos, the former ruler of the universe, could not unleash his full power after leaving his body," Eunice said casually.

Her body is made of Vibranium, but even Vibranium might not be able to withstand Thanos's power. Yet, he couldn't even penetrate her outer garment, which shows how much his strength has been weakened.

Thanos was also surprised, but he was only weakened; he wasn't stupid enough to do something foolish. The worst thing in battle is to lose focus, and it's precisely in situations like this that one must remain calm and composed.

Besides, he hasn't lost yet!

"Have you forgotten that I still have gems?!"

His face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, and the next moment, powerful Aether Particle energy formed a sharp storm that tore towards Eunice, who was standing right next to him.

The energy of the gem surged forth, yet strangely protected Gamora's body.

The boundless energy was enough to shake the planet, and the tiny Eunice was like a lone boat in the stormy sea of an endless ocean, instantly swallowing Eunice body.

Thanos gloated. "I don't know what kind of monster you are, but compared to the power of the Infinity Stones, your strength is worthless... What?!"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression froze.

Amidst the blood-red storm, a shimmering blue light twinkled like the Xing Yi.

Eunice smiled, her body radiating a blue light, making her appear as sacred and inviolable as a goddess.

"Did you overlook my gem?"

Eunice said calmly.

When she first grasped the Space Stone, she integrated it into her palm and then used nanotechnology to transport it into her body's torso.

It can be said that Eunice herself is a perfect vessel for a jewel.

As long as the energy of the gemstones is not activated simultaneously, there is no need to worry about it causing any harm to your body.

She is now using the energy of the Space Stone to isolate herself from the energy fluctuations of the Reality Stone. This move was learned from Big Chill. Eunice may appear to be still in the same place, but she is actually in another dimension. Thanos's attacks obviously cannot harm her.

It could be said that all of this was within Eunice's calculations.

She herself is the most advanced artificial intelligence, with the most outstanding AI in her body's brain. Before facing Thanos, she had completely analyzed all of Thanos's current trump cards and simulated all possibilities, leaving Thanos with absolutely no chance of turning the tables.

Boom!!!

The power of the Space Stone reverberated, instantly isolating the energy of the Aether Particle and transporting them to an unknown space.

Then, Eunice's eyes emitted a blue light, and the energy of the gem in her palm transformed into a translucent sphere, which she released towards Thanos from a distance.

In an instant, Thanos's body seemed to be controlled by some kind of spatial force.

"Ah!"

Blue light covered Gamora's body, like invisible arms grabbing his hands and feet from all sides, ready to tear him apart!

"I can't move..."

"Because I have placed your limbs in a completely different space," Eunice said, holding up the orb of light in her palm.

Thanos's body appears intact, but it is actually disordered, making it difficult for him to exert his strength even though he has it.

You underestimate me!

Thanos roared ferociously, and Aether Particle energy surrounding his body had dissipated, a golden shadow materialized behind him—

That was his Soul Stone, radiating a golden light because of the power of the Soul Stone.

"Ha!"

Thanos, in his Soul Stone form, suddenly raised his arm, and a surge of Soul Stone power attacked Eunice. The attack, originating from the Soul Stone level, Liaokong discrepancies and struck Eunice directly.

Eunice plummeted from the sky in a sorry state, the sphere in her hand shattering with a crash.

Thanos broke free from the hard control, his Soul Stone instantly returned, and he pressed his palm down onto the earth's surface. The energy of the Aether Particle instantly penetrated deep into the earth's core, affecting the planet's ley lines.

Rumble!

The earth tore open, and magma shot into the sky like pillars of fire, then transformed into a dragon and pounced on Eunice.

Eunice is fearless when it comes to lava, even without using gems.

Vibranium is normally afraid of high temperatures, but the Extremis Virus in Eunice's body makes up for this. When she fully unleashes the Extremis Virus, her body temperature is dozens of times higher than that of magma!

The only thing that surprised her was--

"You can actually use the power of two gems at the same time?"

Within the flames, Eunice's power reversed; the power of space subsided, replaced by the power of the Mind Stone.

A beam of energy shot from her hands, instantly slicing through the magma and carrying her back into the air.

Even with her Vibranium body, she could only unleash the power of one Infinity Stone at a time, but Thanos was able to utilize the power of two Stones simultaneously, something Eunice hadn't anticipated.

Is it because of the Soul Stone?

Thanos is currently using Gamora's body, making him many times weaker than Eunice.

If one had to pinpoint what makes him different, it would probably be his Soul Stone.

The Aether Particle resides in Gamora's body, while the Soul Stone is the vessel for Thanos's Soul Stone. He doesn't truly activate the power of both stones simultaneously, but rather uses this power through two different entities.

"As expected of Thanos."

Eunice exclaimed in admiration.

Even if Thanos used a clever trick, the side effects of the gems' energy should not be underestimated, especially the Soul Stone, which directly attacks the Soul Stone.

Compared to the current Thanos, he has probably already experienced the pain of his Soul Stone being torn apart, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to reclaim his Soul Stone so quickly.

Eunice's guess was correct.

Thanos truly felt as if his Soul Stone was being torn apart.

Although they are one body with two lives, Gamora's Soul Stone ultimately contains his Soul Stone as well, and all the side effects still fall on him.

But it doesn't matter, it's all worth it.

If he can get through the agonizing pain even briefly, he will be one step closer to success.

He recognized that Eunice possessed not only the Space Stone, but also the Mind Stone!

Four gems!

Thanos's gaze was filled with fervor; if he could subdue this enemy before him, this would be the closest he had ever come to fulfilling his destiny.

Thanos, the ruler of the universe, is about to return!

An excited expression appeared on his face, and his gaze toward Eunice was as if he were looking at a cornerstone.

He actually thought Eunice was quite capable, perhaps even more so than Supergiant, and that taking her under his wing would be a good choice.

However, Thanos extinguished that idea in less than a second with his power.

No, it's not needed.

At this critical moment, no mistakes can be tolerated. Every extra word he utters could lead to an even greater accident. Right now, all he needs to do is kill the enemy before him immediately!

"Ah!"

He roared, and the power of the Soul Stone activated once more!

The energies of the two gems intertwined, unleashing a deadly attack on Eunice.

You have nowhere to run!

The energy of the Aether Particle was amplified Liaokong an unprecedented degree by the energy of another gem. A terrifying wave of reality swept across the sky, obscuring the stars, as if it had transformed into an entire continent and was crushing towards Eunice!

But Eunice remained remarkably calm in the face of such a terrifying attack.

"I didn't need to run away at all."

She didn't even use the power of the gems; she simply looked at Thanos with a strange expression, as if looking at a prisoner trapped in the depths of his Soul Stone.

Snap!

Thanos's body froze for a moment.

The raised arms and the etheric waves seemed to be resisted by an immense force, unable to fall.

At the same time, he heard the voice that had once filled him with despair, rolling in like thunder.

"Thanos, who gave you permission to lay a hand on my men?"

The etheric waves overhead transformed into a river, which, under another gravitational pull, flowed upstream towards the sky.

Thanos trembled as he raised his head and saw a face as large as a planet.

"You always have something new to say, Ben Parker..."
