"Roar--!!"

Thanos did not stop because of the change in his opponent. Without the Infinity Gauntlet, he was like a wounded lone wolf, completely unleashing the primal savagery of the Titan race.

He stomped his foot hard, the metal ruins beneath his feet shattered instantly, and he became like a purple cannonball, carrying enough kinetic energy to shatter mountains, as he punched the face of the Ultimate Swampfire!

This punch, without the aid of any gems, was purely the pinnacle of physical strength.

"Good timing!"

Ultimate Swampfire did not dodge. He raised his thick, ancient tree-like arm, clenched his fist, and blue flames exploded between the knuckles.

"Bang!!"

Two fists, one large and one small, collided violently in mid-air.

The terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring, instantly pulverizing the surrounding suspended boulders.

Thanos felt as if he had struck a red-hot Vibranium plate. His opponent's power was in no way inferior to his own, and that blue flame...

"Sizzle--"

Smoke rose from Thanos's fist. That wasn't ordinary fire; it was the flame of a blue napalm bomb, at the level of a Supernova Combustion, with a temperature even exceeding that of a star's surface!

"Ah!!"

Thanos roared, enduring the searing pain, and grabbed the Ultimate Swampfire's shoulder with his other hand, wanting to tear him apart.

Want to play melee combat? I'm all for you!

Jiang Li sneered, and the flower bud on her shoulder suddenly opened.

"Take this—Napalm Bombs!"

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Dozens of blue, gelatinous fireballs shot out from the flower bud, splattering onto Thanos's chest and face.

"Boom boom boom boom!!"

A violent explosion erupted between the two. Blue flames instantly engulfed Thanos's figure, and the terrifying heat melted the surrounding rocks into magma.

Thanos was blasted backward, rolling on the ground more than a dozen times before coming to a stop. His once indestructible purple skin was now covered with charred burns, and in some places, it had even been carbonized.

"Father!"

Nebula watched this scene from afar, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She had never seen the invincible Thanos beaten so badly.

"Damn... monster..."

Thanos staggered to his feet. His eyes were bloodshot, and the pain only fueled his deeper ferocity.

He grabbed a huge metal pillar (a remnant of the spaceship's keel) and used it as a spear, charging forward once more.

I'm going to tear you to pieces!

call--

The massive metal pillar swept across the air with a whooshing sound.

"Wood Style: All Things in the Universe!"

Ultimate Swampfire slammed his hands on the ground.

Rumble!

Countless thick, petrified, grayish-brown giant thorns burst from the ground, instantly weaving into an indestructible hardwood shield wall.

"Snap!"

Thanos slammed the metal pillar in his hand against the shield wall, bending and deforming the metal, but the shield wall remained completely still.

Then, the thorns seemed to come alive, climbing wildly up the metal pillar and coiling tightly around Thanos's arms and legs like pythons.

"Got you!"

Jiang Li stepped out from behind the shield wall, the blue core on his chest shining brightly.

"Now, it's time to end this."

"Ultimate finishing move - Blue Inferno!!"

Call----!!!

A blue fiery tornado several meters in diameter erupted from the Ultimate Swampfire's hands, completely engulfing the immobilized Thanos.

This is not combustion, this is decomposition.

Under the continuous onslaught of temperatures reaching thousands of degrees, even the physical structure of the Titanian began to collapse.

"Ughhhhhh!!!!"

Thanos let out a shrill scream. He struggled desperately, and with astonishing willpower, he actually managed to snap several thorns in half.

But Jiang Li did not stop.

He wants to cremate this Director of the Cosmic Family Planning Commission right here!

"Mr. Jiang Li! Stop right now!!"

Just as Thanos was about to be burned to ashes, Spider-Man Peter Parker suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Li didn't stop, but he did spare a bit of attention.

"That glove... that Infinity Gauntlet! It's glowing!" Tony Stark exclaimed in horror.

Jiang Li suddenly turned his head.

The Infinity Gauntlet, lying on the ground some distance away, had its four gems (purple, blue, red, and orange) trembling violently and emitting unstable energy fluctuations.

"The Space Stone... has been activated?" Doctor Strange's expression changed drastically. "Someone is remotely summoning it!"

"What?" Jiang Li was taken aback.

The next second.

"Buzz--!!"

The Infinity Gauntlet suddenly flew up on its own, and the blue Space Stone unleashed an irresistible suction force.

But this suction force wasn't directed at the gauntlet itself, but rather at... Thanos!

Whoosh!

Thanos, who was originally trapped in the sea of fire, suddenly became distorted and illusory.

"No! I remember now!" Jiang Li's pupils shrank sharply. He remembered that in the original story, the Infinity Gauntlet had the function of automatically protecting its owner or being summoned (or perhaps Ebony Maw was dead, but the automatic program of Sanctuary II activated its recall? No, it was more like the will of the Space Stone itself).

"Don't even think about running!!"

Jiang Li, no longer caring about continuing the barbecue, pounced on Thanos.

But his hand only grasped a blue afterimage.

Brush!

Space folding.

Thanos, along with the Infinity Gauntlet, vanished instantly from the ruins of Titan.

All that remained was a charred, human-shaped crater on the ground, and still-burning blue embers.

The entire hall fell silent.

"He... ran away?" Star-Lord had just woken up, covering his swollen face, and asked in a daze.

"Yes."

Jiang Li deactivated his transformation and reverted to human form. He stared at the empty ground, his face terribly grim.

"Even though he was half-dead, he still managed to escape with the jewels."

"The Space Stone... what a cheating thing."

Tony Stark walked over, patted Jiang Li on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, kid. At least we beat him to a pulp, and we kept the Time Stone."

Doctor Strange nodded. "This is the only time we've completely crushed him in a head-on confrontation. The future... has changed."

"It's not that simple."

Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart.

He knew that Thanos, as long as he wasn't truly dead, would definitely return. And next time, he would never give the Avengers another chance to "take off the gauntlet."

"We should go too."

Jiang Li turned around and looked at everyone.

"Back to Earth. I have a feeling he'll launch a final, all-out attack before he fully recovers from his injuries."

"And..." Jiang Li glanced at the Omnitrix, which displayed a brand new icon that had just been unlocked.

The icon radiated a breathtaking, profound light that seemed to encompass the entire universe.

Alien X)

"If he really dares to come again..."

Jiang Li clenched his fist.

"I'll show him what a real 'god' is."
