Two of the Black Order, Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian, who once gave the Avengers a lot of trouble, were now lying on the ground like dead dogs, foaming at the mouth, while the other had himself embedded in the curb like a specimen.

"Phew... Is that all?"

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) jumped down from the lamppost, blinked his large eyes on his mask, seemingly finding it a little unreal. "I thought an alien invasion would last at least three days and three nights, and they wouldn't be done until they'd torn down the Statue of Liberty."

"That's a scene from a movie, the pajama baby."

Tony Stark opened his visor, and although he continued to be sarcastic, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the figure holding a round shield and standing on the other side of the group.

Steve Rogers (Captain America) happened to be looking over as well.

The air suddenly became quiet and awkward.

"Uh..." Scott Lang (Ant-Man) shrunk back to normal size and shrank his neck. "Should I shrink a bit to give you guys some privacy?"

"Cough cough."

Jiang Li walked between the two, placing his left hand on Tony's titanium alloy shoulder and patting Steve's Vibranium Suit with his right.

"Alright, you two old folks. If you're planning to kill each other with your eyes, please wait until you've finished dealing with that purple sweet potato demon."

Jiang Li pointed to the donut-shaped spaceship hovering overhead, which was no longer moving.

"The enemy is still overhead. And don't forget, you're all now considered 'unofficial advisors' to the Plumbers. If there's internal discord, I'll deduct your wages."

Steve took a deep breath, extended his hand first, his eyes resolute. "Tony."

Tony looked at the hand, paused for two seconds, and finally shook it, a relieved smile playing on his lips, "Still that strong grip, old popsicle. Looks like the food at the Plumbers is pretty good."

"Welcome back, Captain."

[Ding! Detected the iconic scene of the "Avengers Reunion," Emotion Points +20000!]

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted—not only to win, but to win beautifully.

Jiang Li turned to the two prisoners on the ground, raised his wrist, and pressed the Omnitrix's communication button. "Gwen, take care of these two pieces of trash. Send them to the highest-security prison at the Moon Base. Don't let them wake up."

"Received. Portal open."

A flash of blue light, and Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian vanished from their spot in an instant.

"As for this spaceship..." Jiang Li looked up at the Q-Ship, "The Plumbers happens to be short of a transport ship. We'll have Hive modify it later..."

"Jiang Li." Doctor Strange suddenly spoke, the Eye of Agamotto on his chest flashing with an uneasy light, interrupting Jiang Li's distribution of spoils. "Don't let your guard down. I sense... an even more terrifying force is approaching."

"I know."

Jiang Li's relaxed expression vanished. He could feel the Omnitrix issuing a frantic warning, an instinctive shudder at the prospect of a high-energy reaction.

"Boom--!!"

Sanctuary II, which was originally frozen in space by the Arctiguana, did not directly descend into the atmosphere, but a dazzling deep blue beam of light, too bright to look at directly, pierced through the atmosphere from outer space and bombarded Central Park in New York, New Manhattan!

The terrifying spatial energy fluctuations instantly shattered all the glass within a radius of several kilometers.

"Over there!"

Everyone immediately went into battle mode.

After the towering blue beam of light dissipated, the space curled up like charred paper.

A tall, purple figure slowly emerged from the distorted portal.

He brought no army, no warships.

He was all alone.

The golden armor reflected a cold, chilling light in the sunlight, and on the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand, two gems (purple power and blue space) shone brightly, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Thanos

He's here.

Thanos didn't look at the fully armed superheroes around him; his gaze swept across the crowd and landed precisely on the pendant on Doctor Strange's chest.

"Two," Thanos muttered to himself, his voice as calm as if he were discussing the weather. "Four more to go."

Hey! Purple sweet potato spirit!

Tony Stark fired first, his nanotech thrusters fully activated, unleashing a pulse beam from his palm. "This is Earth! Illegal entry is prohibited!"

Thanos didn't even raise his head; he simply casually raised his left hand.

Buzz--

With a flash of purple light, Tony's Pulse Cannon was instantly disintegrated into a sky full of purple fireworks.

"Tony Stark."

Thanos looked at Tony, and there was even a hint of... approval in his eyes?

"You're not the only one cursed by knowledge."

"You know me?" Tony was taken aback.

"I know a lot of dead people," Thanos said calmly.

"Everyone, attack together!!"

Steve roared and charged forward, shield raised. Falcon took to the skies to provide suppressive fire, Winter Soldier set up his machine gun, Ant-Man grew larger again to try and crush Thanos, Wanda's Chaos Magic was ready to be unleashed, and Spider-Man shot out webs to try and restrict Thanos's movements.

This was a team battle worthy of being recorded in history.

However, when faced with a true hegemon, numbers seem to lose their meaning.

Thanos clenched his left fist

Power Stone!

Boom!!

A purple shockwave exploded outwards from him.

Captain America, who was at the forefront, was blasted away. Even with his Vibranium Shield and the Plumbers exoskeleton armor, he was still shaken so badly that he coughed up blood.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of blue light appeared.

Space Stone!

Before the giant Ant-Man could even land, it was forcibly imprisoned in mid-air by spatial forces, and then flung like trash into the Hudson River several kilometers away.

The bullets from Falcon and Winter Soldier hit him, but not even a spark flew.

That's enough.

Thanos was getting impatient. He didn't want to waste his time on these ants.

He gripped his gloves tightly, and both gems lit up simultaneously, preparing to launch a sweeping attack.

"For balance."

Just then...

"Omnitrix, Biomnitrix Function (Fusion Evolutionary Function) - Activate!"

A mechanical voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Thanos's actions.

A burst of green light!

Jiang Li's figure vanished instantly, replaced not by any known single alien hero.

It was a strong, red body with Four Arms, muscles bulging, but his whole body was burning with the raging flames of Heatblast! His skin was like flowing magma, his four thick arms burned with an inextinguishable star fire, and a fiercely burning torch was on his head.

Fusion Form: Heat Arms (Heat Arms)!

"Try this! Flaming Heavy Punch!!"

Jiang Li's four fists, burning with raging flames, carrying the immense force of Four Arms and the thousands of degrees of heat of Heatblast, slammed into Thanos like a meteor shower!

"Um?"

Thanos's expression changed slightly. He crossed his arms to protect his chest, Power Stone shone brightly as he tried to block it.

Bang bang bang bang!!

A dull thud echoed through the sky.

Under this ferocious onslaught, the once invincible Titan was actually blasted back more than ten steps, the asphalt road beneath his feet plowing out two deep furrows.

The flames died down.

Thanos lowered his somewhat charred arm and looked at the fused creature he had never seen before, his eyes finally becoming serious.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, his purple skin appearing particularly grotesque in the firelight.

"Finally... this is getting interesting."
