"Impossible!"
"Teacher!"
"Boss!"
Three cries of alarm rang out at once, across space and on Earth.
Thanos stared at his nearly shattered gauntlet, disbelief written across his face.
The reason he had been so... cocky was that, with the gauntlet on his hand and six stones at his command, he was the ruler of this universe!
The six stones Thanos possessed had come from the numbered Comic Universe he called home.
The six Infinity Stones were the Foundation of the universe. Time, space, mind, reality, soul, and power were its most fundamental components.
Thanos of the Cinematic Universe could wipe out half the universe's population with all six stones. This universe-level Thanos from the Comic Universe was far more formidable.
Across countless Marvel universes, Thanos's understanding and use of the Infinity Stones ranked among the very best!
Every blow he struck could draw on the strength of the entire universe. That was the chief reason he could overpower The Ancient One at her current level.
He was already immensely powerful himself. With the power of the universe behind every strike, The Ancient One naturally stood no chance.
And that last punch had gathered the universe's Origin and the Power of Rules. It had been domineering beyond measure.
Yet Meng Chuan had nearly killed him!
How could he believe it? From what he had seen of Meng Chuan in the Cinematic Universe Thanos's memories, there was no way Meng Chuan was this strong!
"If that's all you've got, your group is losing another member today."
Meng Chuan still had only one hand extended. This Thanos was countless times stronger than the one from the Cinematic Universe.
But against Meng Chuan, that still wasn't enough.
Thanos was universe-level, but Meng Chuan had long since transcended the level of a single universe!
Boom!
