The Gathering of the Gods! The Final Absolute Defense
Wakanda
Although it had just experienced an interstellar war, this land had no chance to catch its breath. Everyone knew that the Mad Titan, who had been driven away, would not give up easily.
"Sizzle--"
In the palace square, a huge golden spark teleportation portal opened out of thin air.
Jiang Li led the way, followed by Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and a grumpy Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy, who filed out one after another.
Welcome back, heroes.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, stepped forward and, seeing that the group, though covered in dust but unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief. "Looks like things went well on your end too."
"It was more than just smooth sailing." Tony opened his visor and pointed to Jiang Li behind him. "This kid almost Thanos into a purple sweet potato. If it weren't for that damn Space Stone automatically protecting its owner, we'd be having a victory celebration right now."
"He's strong." Thor walked over, Stormbreaker in hand, his one eye fixed on Jiang Li. "Stronger than I imagined. Jiang Li, what was that burning treant form you used just now called?"
"Ultimate Swampfire," Jiang Li replied casually, then glanced at Rocket Raccoon and Groot beside Thor.
"I am Groot!" (Is that my relative?) The little tree-man looked at Jiang Li in surprise.
"More or less, distant cousins." Jiang Li smiled and patted Groot's head.
At this moment, the most luxurious lineup in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gathered in the entire Wakanda Palace Square.
The Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Wakanda Royal Guard, the Sorcerers, and... the Plumbers.
"Although we won two games."
Jiang Li reached the top of the steps, turned around and looked down at the group of powerful figures below who were capable of sweeping across the Milky Way, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"But Thanos still possesses four Infinity Stones: Power, Space, Reality, and Soul Stone."
"He's a fanatic. For his so-called 'destiny,' he even sacrificed his own daughter (Gamora) to obtain the Soul Stone."
Upon hearing this, Star-Lord clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turning red, but this time he didn't act impulsively; he just gritted his teeth.
"Right now, he's like a wounded Beast. His next attack, his final attack, will be unleashed without reservation."
Jiang Li raised his left hand, pointed to the Time Stone on Doctor Strange's chest, and then pointed to the Mind Stone kept by Vision (White Vision).
"He wants both of them. And we'll make sure he doesn't leave empty-handed."
"What else could he possibly bring?" Colonel Rhodes inspected the ammunition. "His fleet has already been destroyed by you, the Outriders was wiped out by the sonic wave, and the Black Order are all dead. Could he possibly conjure up an army?"
He doesn't bring an army.
Doctor Strange suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with a green light of time, as if he had just glimpsed a second into the future.
"He will bring... the universe itself."
Before he could finish speaking...
"Buzz------!!!"
The entire sky of Wakanda, and even the entire atmosphere of the Earth, suddenly let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
It wasn't a spaceship that landed.
Instead, the sky... changed color.
The once azure sky was instantly covered by a layer of eerie dark red energy. That was the power of the Reality Stone, eroding the dimension of reality.
Immediately afterwards, space began to distort wildly.
The mountains, jungles, and rivers surrounding Wakanda began to fold and flip under the influence of the Space Stone! The earth became the sky, and waterfalls flowed backwards into the clouds.
The entirety of Wakanda seemed to have transformed into an alternate-dimensional arena, separate from Earth.
"My God..." Spider-Man clung to Tony's leg in fright. "What is this? Inception?"
"No." Jiang Li looked at this earth-shattering scene, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "This is the power of a god."
At the center of the distorted heavens and earth, a purple beam of light crashed down.
Thanos.
He's here.
But his current state made everyone gasp in shock.
He was not wearing armor; his upper body was bare, revealing his rock-hard, scarred, purple muscles. Four-colored light flowed across his skin, as if the power of the four gems was no longer confined to the gloves but had permeated his entire body.
This is Thanos.
He burned his own life force to bear the full power of the Infinity Stones.
"Jiang Li."
Thanos's voice was no longer as deep as before, but carried an echo as if from the depths of the universe, resonating in everyone's Soul Stone.
"I've had enough of games."
Thanos raised his left hand, and the four Infinity Stones on the Infinity Gauntlet shone brightly.
"Hand over the gem. Or... watch this planet turn to dust."
Boom!
As he spoke, the dark red curtain of reality in the sky began to slowly descend, like a giant mouth about to swallow the earth whole.
"He's insane!" Dr. Banner, staring at the readings. "He wants to rewrite the Earth's material structure with the Reality Stone!"
"All hands on deck!!" Captain America roared, raising his Vibranium Shield.
Thor's entire body crackled with lightning, and his Stormbreaker hummed loudly.
Captain Marvel (if she were there, or if there's any indication she's on her way)... no, the main character now is Jiang Li.
Faced with this scene that seemed like divine punishment, Jiang Li remained completely calm.
He simply watched Thanos silently, his fingers gently stroking the dial of the Omnitrix.
There, the newly unlocked icon, radiating a deep, starry light, quietly awaits its summons.
Celestialsapien (Celestialsapien)
Alien X (Alien X)
"You want to destroy the Earth?"
Jiang Li forward, standing alone in front of all the heroes. His back was to the crowd, and although his figure was small, it seemed as if he was holding up the entire sky.
"Thanos, you know nothing about true power..."
"Gwen," Jiang Li murmured to himself.
"I'm here." Gwen's voice remained calm, but there was a hint of nervousness in it.
"Turn off all energy restrictions." Jiang Li's lips curled into a maniacal smile. "I'm going to have a heart-to-heart talk with 'those two'."
"Omnitrix, unlock root privileges!"
"Target: Alien X!"
The black light instantly engulfed Jiang Li's figure.
At that moment, it seemed as if a starry sky had appeared on the Wakanda battlefield.
