"They're here!"

Spider-Man ran over at top speed, but Alex, wielding the Space Stone, was even faster.

He teleported directly in front of Thanos, grabbed the Infinity Gauntlet, and started pulling it down.

"Huh?!" Spider-Man was so startled that he immediately stopped in his tracks.

He waved at Alex and asked, "Hey, friend, are you one of us too?"

Iron Man, Star-Lord, Drax, and the others also stopped.

Alex, his face hidden by the hood, abruptly turned to face Spider-Man and snapped, "Shut up!"

In an instant, Spider-Man's ' Peter Tingle ' kicked in.

Peter Parker felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

[not good!]

His expression changed, and he immediately ran towards Thanos.

At the same time, he loudly reminded his companions, "Stop him! He's here to steal the Infinity Gauntlet!"

Drax scratched his head in confusion and said in a deep voice, "Isn't his goal the same as ours?!"

"Oh no, no!" Spider-Man blurted out, "He's not like us! He's like Thanos... in short, he's a villain! He's planning to use the Infinity Stones to do bad things!"

Drax frowned and said unhappily, "You don't seem to know him, so what makes you say he's a bad guy?!"

Spider-Man: "..."

Iron Man, however, realized that Peter wouldn't lie!

And so, the Iron Armor activated instantly...

With a loud 'boom!', a sonic boom cloud appeared.

But at that moment, the deep sorrow on Thanos's face vanished.

The Mantis riding on his shoulders immediately changed her expression.

"Oh no, he's waking up!"

She hurriedly let go of Thanos's hands, flipped over and jumped off, and fled frantically into the distance.

" Gamora! No!!!"

Thanos roared in grief and anger, and suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked down at the black-robed man who was tearing at the Infinity Gauntlet, then his left hand flashed out and grabbed Alex's arm.

"Get... out of my way!!!"

He kicked Alex directly.

Damn it!

Alex roared Wrath in his mind, suddenly exerted his strength to break free of his arm, and immediately a dark purple Energy Shield appeared out of thin air in front of him.

'Bang!'

Thanos's massive foot slammed into the Energy Shield, sending Alex flying backward, shield and all.

"Hateful!"

Alex was flying through the air when he turned and glared fiercely at Spider-Man.

"It's all that damn Spider-Man's fault!"

He cursed angrily, then manipulated the Space Stone to connect to a coordinate and vanished instantly.

Thanos was stunned; he sensed a very familiar energy fluctuation.

"That's... the Space Stone?!"

"This is impossible?!?"

He glanced down at the deep blue gem embedded in the wireless glove, and a sudden, intense unease rose within him.

"We can't delay any longer!"

Thanos clenched his fist, and all four Infinity Stones embedded in the Infinity Gauntlet lit up.

'Buzz!'

A terrifying surge of energy rapidly converged on Thanos.

He suddenly raised his left hand high, opening his palm.

'boom!'

An incredibly powerful shockwave erupted from his body.

Drax and Spider-Man- Man, who were closest to him, were instantly blown away by the blast wave.

Star-Lord's expression changed, but before he could react, the Shockwave had already swept over them.

"Ah!"

He screamed in agony and was swept away by the hurricane.

Then came the frantically fleeing Mantis and Doctor Strange, not far from her...

Only Iron Man, who was suspended in mid-air, survived.

Earth-7888 Universe, African Wakanda.

Inside a luxurious laboratory, Vision lay on the lab table with his eyes closed.

Using state-of-the-art precision equipment, Shuri carefully Stripping the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead with a slender probe.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Scarlet Witch watched the raging war outside, her anxiety growing ever stronger.

The Wakanda army, together with numerous superheroes, managed to hold off Thanos's seemingly invincible army that had traversed the universe for a time (to be honest, I found this scene quite comical -_-||).

Hers.

At that moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and Alex, clad in a black robe, suddenly appeared.

"Watch out! Someone's there!!!" Scarlet Witch shouted, gathering two balls of energy in her hands, about to throw them.

Alex raised his hand and pointed at her.

A dark purple energy beam flashed and disappeared in an instant...

Scarlet Witch froze, rooted to the spot.

Hearing the noise, Shuri called out impatiently, " Ms. Maximoff! Please be quiet, okay?!"

But the next second, she found herself suspended in mid-air.

"What's going on?! Who are you? Put me down right now!"

However, Alex was pressed for time; he had to retrieve the Mind Stone before Thanos returned.

So he controlled Shuri and flung him away into the distance...

Shuri instantly transformed into a black shadow, crashing heavily into the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

'Bang!'

Her bones broke instantly, and she lost consciousness.

Vision struggled to get up from the operating table.

But Alex seized his fate by the scruff of the neck.

'Bear!'

A dark purple flame of energy erupted from his left hand, directly gripping the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead.

"No! Stop, stop..."

Vision's body jolted, and his struggles from a moment ago abruptly ceased.

His body slumped down, like a corpse.

"No!" The Scarlet Witch watched her lover die, her eyes snapping open and two lines of bloody tears streaming down her face.

'boom!'

Endless crimson energy surged from her body, instantly dispelling Alex's immobilization spell.

"Die, you bastard!!!"

The Scarlet Witch, fueled by boundless rage, unleashed unprecedented power and roared forward.

Alex glanced at her indifferently, casually tossed Vision's corpse over, and then disappeared with the Mind Stone.

Scarlet Witch looked at the approaching Vision's corpse and couldn't help but show a panicked expression.

She struggled to control the Chaotic Energy surging within her body, letting out a muffled groan as her face turned deathly pale.

The Scarlet Witch opened her arms and held her lover's body tightly in her embrace.

Immediately afterwards, she lost control of the energy within her body.

'boom!'

Endless Crimson Energy exploded!

The massive explosion and shockwave engulfed the entire building.

Shuri, who had been unconscious in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, instantly vaporized.

Then, the building collapsed with a loud crash.

A figure shot out of the rising dust like a meteor and landed in the dense forest not far away.

At this moment, spatial fluctuations reappeared, and Thanos, having successfully obtained the Time Stone, appeared.

But looking at the collapsed building, he couldn't help but roar angrily at the sky.

"Damn thief! Even if I have to search every corner of the universe, I will find you and take back the Mind Stone!"

However, his wish was destined to remain unfulfilled...
