Thor slumped powerlessly onto the side of the dirt mound, a gash cut into the armor on his chest.
Dark red blood continuously flowed from it, dripping onto the ground.
His entire aura was in complete disarray.
And on the other side.
Half of Tony's body was buried in the dirt mound, completely unconscious.
In the field...
Only Steve was engaging with Thanos.
"You cannot stop me!!"
Thanos re-gripped his blade and swung it down with all his might!
After losing the Thunder God's Hammer.
Steve could only raise the shield on his wrist to block.
Clang!
Clang!
Harsh sounds of metal colliding rang out one after another.
The shield in Steve's hand was subsequently smashed.
"Hmph!"
Thanos let out a low roar, took a few steps forward, and brutally kicked Steve in the chest with all his strength.
Under the immense force.
The latter's figure immediately flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
He crashed heavily onto the dirt mound behind him.
Bang!
Dust flew up incessantly.
Steve spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his shield nearly flew out of his hand.
"No matter what, I will..."
"I will definitely stop you..."
Steve lowered his head and glanced at his split tiger's mouth, pulling hard on the bandage on his shield.
He wrapped it tightly around the wound.
Ensuring there would be no issues.
As he got up.
Steve raised his hand to wipe away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and staggered towards Thanos.
The sky was covered by thick dark clouds.
Weak sunlight shone from behind the clouds, casting scattered light.
Thanos stood on a high, protruding dirt slope, gripping his blade with one hand.
Above his head were dense alien warships.
Behind him were alien soldiers, numerous like a black ocean.
And on the other side.
There was only Steve.
At most, the flames burning from this land were blazing behind him.
Neither side spoke a word.
Thanos looked down.
And Steve walked forward step by step, with his head held high and chest out.
The gap between them was obvious at this moment.
No matter from what angle.
Steve's side was absolutely impossible to win.
At the same time.
Located in The Void.
Lin Che had already brought Tony here and witnessed most of the battle process.
At this moment...
Tony was already frozen in place, completely unable to believe everything he saw before his eyes.
After several seconds.
Tony finally spoke, "Is this the future we have to face?"
This is a bit too cruel.
Tony really couldn't imagine if they, just a few people, could really achieve this step?
"What you see is indeed the truth."
"If I hadn't intervened, this would be your future."
"Although new heroes have joined you, the strength difference between the two sides is still too vast."
"It can be said that Thanos alone was enough to rout you."
Lin Che clasped his hands behind his back.
He told them all the plot he knew.
Even Thanos without the Infinity Stones could beat the trio senseless.
Adding such terrifying alien fleets...
It was basically a guaranteed win.
Not to mention after Thanos obtained the Infinity Stones, they would only be slaughtered.
"I still don't understand."
"If Earth's power is so weak, why would the Infinity Stones appear on Earth?"
Tony thought for a moment, then asked the most crucial question.
"Because Earth used to be very powerful."
"Stephen's master, Gu Yi, was stronger than Thanos, but she wouldn't intervene."
"Similarly, many beings could have resolved these disasters from the beginning."
"But because the events needed to develop, they didn't act."
Lin Che didn't lie about this.
Assuming in the Avengers 1 timeline, Gu Yi directly entered outer space through the rift.
If she had forcibly killed Thanos.
None of the future would have happened.
But unfortunately, Gu Yi's path was protection, not killing.
"What about you?" Tony turned to look at Lin Che.
In response...
A faint smile appeared on Lin Che's face, "Because I am a god."
Furthermore, he didn't belong here, so forced intervention wouldn't bring too much karma upon himself.
Hearing this.
Tony stopped asking questions and turned his attention back to the outside world.
At the same time...
Lin Che also opened the live broadcast option in the Chat Group.
In the Chat Group.
Lin Che: "@Wanda, this is the battle you will face in the future."
Wanda: "This place... is it really the Earth I know?"
Hestia: "This feels so tragic, and the power difference between the two sides is a bit too terrifying."
Esdeath: "What a pity! I can't participate in this battle."
Erza: "You really are a battle maniac."
Luo Hao: "That big purple guy is strong, but only relative to humans."
Kamisato Ayaka: "Is this the final mission?"
Lin Che: "That's right, everyone, enjoy."
At this moment...
In the vast battlefield.
Steve took a deep breath, suppressed his injuries, and staggered forward.
And just then...
A 'shh-shh' sound suddenly came from Steve's earpiece.
The static.
Made Steve instinctively raise his hand to press his earpiece.
"Captain... Captain, it's me, can you hear me?"
"It's... Sam."
A familiar voice sounded in the earpiece.
This made Steve, who was preparing for a desperate fight, immediately freeze in place.
Before Steve could react.
A voice already sounded in the earpiece again: "On your left."
Upon hearing this voice.
Steve slowly turned to the left.
In his line of sight.
A golden magic circle appeared in mid-air.
Immediately after, Sam flapped his mechanical wings and suddenly rushed out.
