Thanos looked at Doctor Strange, who was more than ten kilometers away, and suddenly a feeling arose in his mind.

Doctor Strange is the most important pawn chosen by the Celestial; as long as he kills the opponent, everything can be resolved quickly.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes, made a quick calculation in his mind, then gripped the Tyrant's Blade and charged forward.

Just then, a torrent of metal suddenly rushed over from nearby.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to stop and then slash with his sword.

With a deafening roar, the torrent of metal was instantly shattered.

But soon, the scattered metal regrouped and continued to rush towards him.

Although it caused almost no harm, it was extremely annoying and blocked his view.

Thanos knew this must be the Superpower of some enemy.

Only by killing the person using Superpower can this torrent of metal be stopped.

If I remember correctly, there was a character in Marvel who could control magnetic fields, but who was it again?

Meanwhile, seven or eight kilometers away from Thanos, Magneto was hiding among the crowd, using his Superpower to unleash a torrent of metal towards the enemy.

Actually, he initially planned to control Thanos's armor and weapons.

However, the energy emanating from the other party was too powerful, and he was unable to influence the magnetic field despite several attempts; he could only control the metal in the distance.

By then, Mister Fantastic had already flown back.

Thanos during that attack, and Mister Fantastic's body had already turned into rubber, so he recovered quickly.

Seeing Thanos restrained by the torrent of metal, he immediately became smug again.

"Thanos, just surrender obediently. This is Magneto; his power is to control magnetic fields and manipulate all metals."

Upon hearing this, Thanos turned to look at Mister Fantastic, revealing an appreciative gaze, before disappearing from the spot.

Because he remembered.

Magneto, isn't he just that old guy with a full head of white hair and Helmet?

In the next instant, he appeared in front of Magneto, and the Tyrant's Blade in his hand slashed down mercilessly.

Magneto's aged face still showed a look of utter bewilderment.

He had no time to react to Thanos's attack.

Only Doctor Strange's protective shield flashed by, but the next second, Thanos's weapon broke through the shield and severed his head.

Instantly, the immense internal and external pressure caused Magneto's blood to gush out as if it were free.

And so his head was suspended in the Vacuum, then turned towards Mister Fantastic.

Those were eyes filled with incomprehension.

It seemed like an accusation: why did you harm him?

After Thanos killed Magneto, he noticed several strangely dressed enemies nearby, one of whom even had wings. So, he casually slashed them all and killed them.

Just then, a red laser suddenly shot out.

However, when the bullet hit him, it didn't cause any harm at all; he just felt a little warm.

Turning his head, he saw a short-haired white man.

This laser beam was emitted from the other person's eyes.

Beside him was a young, beautiful woman with long red hair.

However, it's clear that this woman's mental state is unstable; something seems amiss.

In the blink of an eye, he flew to the side of the man with glowing eyes and then casually slashed him into several pieces.

When Qin saw one of her boyfriends being killed, she immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

Then she let out a scream.

"Ah!"

With that scream, an immense Phoenix Force began to surge forth.

His eyes turned dark red, and the veins on his body became more prominent.

For her, she had never seen so many people die in her entire life as she had today.

This was a huge blow to her mental health, so ever since she came to the Vacuum of space to fight Thanos, her mental state has been very unstable.

Now, seeing her boyfriend die, she completely broke down.

Thus, the First Personality began to gain the upper hand.

Yes, that's the first personality.

Jean awakened the Phoenix Force when she was a child, but because she couldn't control it, it caused huge casualties to her parents and even the entire town.

She felt extremely guilty and remorseful.

At that time, the young Professor X found her and helped her seal the Phoenix Force.

Sealnd along with the Primary Personality and the tragic past was also the original personality.

Therefore, what has appeared outside all these years is her Second Personality.

Now that Professor X's soul has been twisted by Thanos, the seal was already weakened.

The deaths of her companions and the dismemberment of her boyfriend caused her First Personality to resurface.

Soon, the Phoenix Force within Qin's body began to surge, transforming into tentacles radiating red light, waving behind her like Angels wings.

When Thanos saw the Phoenix Force, he immediately recalled information he had seen before.

The Phoenix Force possesses near- Infinity energy, capable of enhancing the Host's abilities with almost no upper limit, making them immortal.

It can even manipulate microscopic particles, easily destroy any spatial dimension and time axis, and regenerate or destroy everything in the universe, even the universe itself.

While destroying a universe isn't considered particularly powerful in the Marvel Universe, it does demonstrate the immense potential of the Phoenix Force.

Upon seeing that the Host of the Phoenix Force did not immediately attack him, and even showed hostility towards everyone, Thanos suddenly understood something.

He looked at Doctor Strange in the distance, then clenched his left hand, and the orange Soul Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet began to flash.

Doctor Strange, who was more than ten kilometers away, immediately noticed Thanos's actions and excitedly exclaimed, "This is our only chance! Everyone, attack together!"

In the Timeline he saw, Thanos would spend two seconds controlling Jean Grey this time.

Those two seconds were the key to their victory or defeat.

After saying that, he immediately drew a circle in front of him, and a Portal opened instantly.

"Mantis!"

After letting out a shout, Mantis immediately understood and rushed into the Portal.

Immediately afterwards, a Portal appeared above Thanos's head.

But at that moment, Thanos suddenly smiled and turned around to grab Mantis by the neck.

Then, without hesitation, he pinched hard.

With a "poof!" sound, the Mantis's brain burst open like a watermelon.

Although more than 500 years have passed and he has forgotten most of the plot, he has not forgotten the iconic scene in Avengers: Endgame: Endgame where Star-Lord punched his way to victory.

The most important characters in this storyline are Mantis and Doctor Strange.

An entity capable of directly hypnotizing Celestial, and possessing the Time Stone, which allows for Time Reversal.

Knowing the plot, how could he not be on guard when he learned that Doctor Strange was with Mantis to Star-Lord?

When he was dealing with Professor X, he could have easily controlled him directly using the Mind Stone.

However, in order to give Doctor Strange a chance, he deliberately used the Soul Stone.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not fall for the trick, so he continued to seduce the Phoenix Force Host.

Surprisingly, the fish actually took the bait.
