Carol flew toward Earth with a grim expression.
She truly hadn't expected something like this to happen while she was gone.
She wasn't fully aware of the Avengers' plan. She had been too far from Earth at the time.
Not every planet was like Earth-guarded by a group of selfless, exceptionally capable protectors.
It was precisely because Earth had people like that that Carol focused most of her efforts elsewhere.
As usual, she had been checking how many people were still missing after Thanos's incident.
But as she entered the Milky Way, she suddenly sensed something.
A bloodline.
Strikingly similar to her own.
Carol froze.
Her power had come from an unimaginably difficult mutation. In that sense, she was unique.
Which made this sensation almost unbelievable.
She immediately wanted to know where it was coming from.
After a brief search, she pinpointed the source.
Earth.
Carol frowned.
She turned back without hesitation.
Could there be someone else who had been transformed by the Power Stone and successfully mutated, just like her?
She abandoned her other tasks and rushed toward Earth.
After flying for a while, she sensed something else.
Someone familiar.
Thanos.
She would never forget that presence.
Even though the Thanos she had seen before had been in a ruined, nearly powerless state-
This one was different.
This Thanos was at his peak.
And more importantly, the person with that similar bloodline was involved in the battle.
Carol's anxiety spiked.
Then her expression changed completely.
Because at that moment, Thanos and that person began to clash.
The energy they released was enough to destroy Earth.
Carol's face turned icy.
She didn't understand what was happening.
"Damn it... what happened?"
She clenched her teeth and accelerated again.
In the blink of an eye, she pierced the atmosphere.
Her power surged.
By the time she fully entered the atmosphere, it had already reached its peak.
But when she arrived above the battlefield-
Carol fell silent.
She wasn't the only one.
Almost everyone had.
Thanos looked... wrong.
He stared at his own chest in disbelief.
A longsword glowing with faint golden light had pierced straight through him.
He slowly lifted his head and looked at Noah, whose universe-like magic was beginning to fade.
"You're despicable," Thanos said hoarsely.
"Despicable?" Noah tilted his head, smiling with open disdain.
"As if you're not. Did you think I wouldn't notice you were planning to avoid a direct clash from the start?"
Green energy gathered in Noah's palm, forming a strange six-pointed rune.
As it activated, Noah's figure blurred-then stabilized.
The magic that had been on the verge of collapsing solidified instantly.
The Time Stone.
Noah restored himself to peak condition.
Then he looked at Thanos.
And sighed.
A tenth-tier existence was no joke.
That light sword was almost the strongest manifestation of Noah's current power.
To land it instantly, he had used time to freeze Thanos-
Then space to disappear and reappear directly inside his guard.
But Thanos had been prepared.
Even frozen in time, he had forced his body to shift slightly.
The blade missed his heart.
If it hadn't-
Noah was certain Thanos would already be dead.
Regret flickered through Noah's mind.
But he knew that repeating the same move wouldn't work again.
Still-
This was enough.
Thanos had lost.
His entire army had already been wiped out by Thor and Loki.
Those two had expended a great deal of power, but that wasn't the key issue.
They hadn't even used the Infinity Stones yet.
Noah tilted his head.
His domain twisted.
The next moment, Thor and Loki-who couldn't enter from outside-appeared beside him.
"So you won?" Thor looked at Thanos's condition, clearly dissatisfied.
"You solved everything yourself. Why did we even come?"
"No," Noah replied calmly. "He looks terrible, but his combat effectiveness hasn't dropped much."
He didn't like admitting it.
But the base attributes of a tenth-tier being were absurd.
"Then what now?" Loki asked, his expression tightening.
"That's only in terms of offense," Noah said.
Green light flowed again.
"I'll restore you. His defense is compromised now. Together, we don't need to hold back."
Time distorted.
Thor and Loki instantly returned to near-peak condition.
Both brothers were stunned-but only briefly.
They turned their focus back to Thanos.
They understood.
No holding back meant one thing.
Infinity Stones.
Each of them took a gem from their pocket.
From afar, Tony and the others stared in disbelief.
"Those are... Infinity Stones?" Tony blurted out.
"It looks like it," Steve nodded slowly.
"But why do Thor and Loki have them too?"
"Don't look at me," Fat Thor said immediately, shaking his head.
"How would I know?"
But deep down, a thought crept in.
If he had kept the Infinity Stones back then...
Would he be standing there now?
He also couldn't help wondering how the other Thor had convinced Odin.
Because as far as he knew-
Asgard had possessed two Infinity Stones.
Not just the Avengers.
Even Thanos looked shaken.
He had never expected people from a parallel universe to be this dangerous.
That Sorcerer Supreme-who hadn't even officially taken office-already forced him to tread carefully.
And now Thor and Loki had joined in.
Individually, they weren't overwhelming.
But with Infinity Stones involved?
Everything changed.
Thanos stared at the three of them.
After a long silence, he spoke.
"I never imagined the two of you would become guardians of the stones as well."
"You've got a lot more surprises coming," Thor replied casually.
He pressed the Power Stone into his armor.
It merged instantly.
"By the way," Thor added, "did you choke Loki to death?"
"Me?" Thanos tilted his head.
"No."
The moment he finished speaking-
A sharp blue blade formed from pure energy and slashed toward him.
Thanos reacted instantly, swinging his weapon down.
But as it struck, he realized something was wrong.
Runes.
The blue energy carried countless mysterious runes.
Red light exploded outward.
Thanos's blade twisted-and shattered.
The Reality Stone.
He knew it immediately.
Thanos leapt back.
Above him, Loki hovered in the air, red light glowing faintly from his chest.
Then-
Purple power.
Lightning without end.
It slammed toward Thanos.
This time, there was no room to dodge.
Time locked him in place.
"Damn sorcerer!"
With no other choice, Thanos clenched his fists and hurled everything he had toward Thor.
The collision detonated.
A deafening blast tore through the battlefield.
The already devastated land collapsed further.
Magma surged.
The shockwave triggered a catastrophic earthquake.
Watching this, the Avengers instinctively turned to Fat Thor and Strange.
Their eyes said everything.
You're this fierce? Then what were you doing earlier?
Fat Thor didn't notice.
He smacked his lips, regret deepening.
Why hadn't he kept the Infinity Stones?
Strange, on the other hand, felt depressed.
He had already explained they weren't from the same universe.
So why were they still looking at him like that?
But neither of them had time to dwell on it.
Because once again-
The Sorcerer Supreme from another universe began condensing that light sword imbued with six powers.
