Ignoring Tony Stark's wild imaginings and the many possibilities he was considering.
In the picture, he couldn't handle it. He couldn't take the Infinity Gauntlet off Thanos's hand.
Tony Stark yelled, "Parker, come help me! Come here!"
Spider-Man Peter Parker and Tony Stark teamed up to try and take the Infinity Gauntlet off Thanos's hand. The Infinity Gauntlet boosted Thanos's combat strength too much.
That was their only chance of winning.
But at this moment, Star-Lord appeared, charging in at top speed.
"I thought it would be hard to catch him!" Star-Lord said proudly when he saw the situation. "Let me be clear, this is all part of my plan!"
"You're not so tough now, huh? Where's Gamora?" Star-Lord asked Thanos proudly.
At this moment, Star-Lord looked utterly smug.
"My Gamora!"
Even though his body and will were controlled, Thanos was still roaring.
For him, Gamora was the softest spot in his heart, and he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to touch her.
Even his daughter's boyfriend made him furious.
It was like an old father whose daughter, raised for twenty years, was taken away by the guy downstairs, and that guy even parked his "ghost fire" motorcycle in front of their building.
'Old man, is my ghost fire safe parked in front of your place?'
'Old man, I'm taking this bottle of fine wine!'
"Old man, smoke less, this pack of cigarettes is mine!"
"Old man, your daughter is pregnant with my child, send money quickly!"
Who can stand this?
"Dad, you don't understand him at all!"
"Dad, I'm going to go and settle things with him right now."
"Officer, you have to believe me, when he came, he was already in pieces, how would I know why he's in pieces!"
"Stop the nonsense, where is she?" Star-Lord in the picture asked coldly.
He didn't care about Thanos's furious mood at this moment, nor did he care that everyone around him was trying their best to stop Thanos from waking up. Tony Stark and Peter Parker were both trying their best to take off the Infinity Gauntlet.
"He's in so much pain!" Mantis said, her voice filled with anguish. She could sense Thanos's thoughts, she felt his emotions, the boundless sorrow threatening to engulf her.
Her ability to sense emotions was too strong, and she was now suffering a backlash. She couldn't even imagine why someone could hide so much sadness and grief within themselves without showing any of it on the outside.
What kind of person was he?
"Good, that's the way!"
Star-Lord sneered, speaking viciously.
"He's mourning!"
Mantis said painfully, feeling the same pain as Thanos.
Thanos was still fine, but she was on the verge of collapse.
"What's there to mourn about this monster!" Drax the Destroyer held onto Thanos tightly, gasping for breath as he spoke, seemingly unable to believe it.
"Gamora!" Nebula dispelled everyone's confusion at the right moment.
Star-Lord looked at Nebula in shock. He never expected that what Thanos mourned was related to his girlfriend.
This Thanos actually had such deep affection for his girlfriend, treating her like a real daughter.
"What?" Star-Lord stared at Nebula in shock.
This Thanos actually had humanity? Actually mourned? But wait, what does it mean to mourn Gamora?
"He took Gamora to Vormir!" Nebula said. "Then he brought back the Soul Stone, but Gamora didn't come back!"
"Vormir!" Tony Stark said outside the screen. "Is the Soul Stone in this place? It seems we can intercept it in advance, but I don't know where this Vormir is!"
"But what does she mean by that?" Tony Stark asked. "Thanos took his daughter to Vormir and brought back the Soul Stone, but he didn't bring back that woman, Gamora. Could it be that a price had to be paid?"
Tony Stark proposed a brand new possibility. Could it be that they had to pay a price to get the Soul Stone?
If that was the case, then it meant that they would also have to pay a corresponding price if they wanted to do the same.
Suddenly, his mood soured.
The problem was that they didn't know yet, and they didn't even know where Vormir was, nor could they even leave the universe.
That was the tragedy of the small, skinny monkey race that was humanity.
But what happened next quickly verified his guess.
"Quill, you need to calm down right now, understand?" Tony Stark noticed Star-Lord's emotional state was off. He quickly said, "Don't do anything, we're going to take the gauntlet off right away!"
However, who could persuade Star-Lord at this moment?
As soon as he thought about the possibility of Gamora being in trouble, he became completely enraged and couldn't control the fire in his heart.
He could no longer control the rage in his heart.
"Tell me, is she lying?" Star-Lord roared, already enraged and completely irrational. "You bastard, tell me you didn't do it?"
Faced with Star-Lord's questioning, Thanos also said with great pain, "I had no choice!"
If possible, he would never have sacrificed his own daughter to get this thing, but now there was no other way; only his most beloved could exchange for the Soul Stone.
And without a doubt, the one he loved most in his heart was none other than Gamora.
So he had no other choice; the more he loved Gamora, the more he needed to sacrifice her at this moment.
"Impossible!"
Star-Lord refused to believe it: "You didn't do it!"
After speaking, he directly attacked Thanos.
"This is impossible!"
Star-Lord was roaring, he had gone mad, wildly beating Thanos.
"Quill, stop, stop!" At this moment, Tony Stark couldn't care so much, directly putting on all of his armor and holding back Quill. "Stop, stop, stop!"
He already felt it, about to fail at the last moment. The opportunity was right in front of them, but they were about to fail.
He was even a little desperate.
"Almost there, almost there, I'm about to take it off, I've taken it off!" Little Spider Peter Parker said quickly.
He had already pulled down half of the Infinity Gauntlet!
But it was too late. In an instant, Thanos regained consciousness. Just a split second, and Thanos was awake again, reclaiming his Infinity Gauntlet.
The plan to take off Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet and defeat him failed.
It failed completely because of Star-Lord's teammate-like actions.
Everyone watching this scene felt like they were about to have a heart attack.
"Now I understand why Lin Feng said he was a terrible teammate. I really get it now!" Tony Stark said with a grim face.
If he hadn't understood before why Lin Feng called him the worst teammate of the year, this performance certainly proved it.
Although they knew that even if they had really taken the Infinity Gauntlet, the chances of defeating Thanos were still small, there was still a glimmer of hope. Especially after seeing this final result, everyone felt terrible.
"So this isn't a game, can I shoot him in the back?" Tony Stark said, looking serious.
"If I could, I'd like to take another shot!" Hawkeye Barton said.
They had a chance, they really did.
But they failed, just like that.
That's what made it so hard to accept.
"But we couldn't have won anyway!" Black Widow Natasha said. "Those Celestial-level big shots aren't that easy to defeat. Even without the Infinity Gauntlet, we're still far outmatched."
"The so-called chance was just a delusion!" Black Widow Natasha continued. "In reality, it was impossible to win. And don't forget, Doctor Strange said that out of fourteen million possibilities, we only won once. If the failure was due to not being able to take off the Infinity Gauntlet, he would have told everyone in advance. Especially since he saw that Star-Lord guy, knowing he would ruin everything, but he didn't say a word. What does that mean…"
"It means this is also a necessary step to victory!" Nick Fury said directly. "In other words, this failure was inevitable. Not only because we couldn't actually beat Thanos, but also because only by failing now can we possibly defeat Thanos in the future, right?"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Nick Fury's assessment.
Now, looking back at what Doctor Strange said, they understood that their current failure might be the path to future success.
Especially considering the later battle between the Avengers' big three and Thanos, this should be the correct judgment.
Or, at least on the so-called sacred timeline, this was the way to achieve the ultimate victory.
There were no other possibilities. Doctor Strange had seen over fourteen million futures, but only one resulted in victory. It was clear how difficult it was to achieve the final win.
In other words, no matter what, Doctor Strange would ensure that the final outcome, where Earth prevailed, continued.
And his lack of action, or any indication of intervention, likely meant this was the only way to guarantee Earth's victory.
This was also a necessary condition for achieving the ultimate victory.
At this moment, they also began to understand the Ancient One's words. The more they struggled, the more they tried to change a predetermined outcome, the more terrifying and unpredictable the consequences could be.
