The others were helpless about the parts Lin Feng skipped. Lin Feng's diary was always so whimsical; he'd write what he wanted and wouldn't if he didn't feel like it.
At most, they could subtly influence him, but controlling him was out of the question.
However, without realizing it, their trust in Lin Feng had already seeped into their very bones.
When faced with situations they didn't understand, they wouldn't think Lin Feng was unaware of the facts. Instead, they assumed he simply chose not to record them.
This was a completely different situation.
Before they could dwell on it, Doctor Strange used his magic cloak to bind Thanos's left hand, preventing him from clenching his fist. Without being able to clench his fist, he couldn't use the power of the Infinity Stones.
Following that, everyone launched a series of counterattacks, directly putting Thanos in a difficult position.
Especially the portal magic Strange used, which allowed Spider-Man to zip around, catching Thanos off guard.
Doctor Strange and Spider-Man's teamwork was undeniably interesting and incredibly well-coordinated.
"Magic!"
"Watch my magic!"
"Magic flying kick!"
"Bug!"
Just as Spider-Man got into the swing of things and started to feel confident, Thanos seized an opening. He grabbed him with a chokehold and slammed him into the ground. The impact shattered the ground, spreading outwards from Spider-Man, Peter Parker.
That single blow nearly incapacitated Peter Parker. If Spider-Man's physical condition hadn't been far superior to an average person's, he would have been finished.
Thanos was losing patience. The attacks from these superheroes were flashy, but they posed no real threat, only causing minor damage. However, it was enough to make him feel annoyed.
He'd completely dealt with the pests in his eyes in an instant.
The people watching outside the screen were shocked by this scene. Even though they had prepared for his Skyfather Level strength, seeing how he exploited Spider-Man's weakness in a split second and slammed him to the ground was still incredibly shocking.
Even with Peter Parker's so-called Spider-Sense, he couldn't dodge in time.
It just goes to show, there's always someone stronger.
The combined force of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers was already comparable to the full combat power of the Avengers.
But what was the result? Facing Thanos, they could only inflict scratch-level damage, and that was all.
What kind of strength would they need to defeat a Thanos like this?
Anyway, the three giants of the Avengers had no chance. Captain America's shield was shattered, and the other two were left with their lives hanging in the balance.
This was a complete annihilation of their power.
In the scene, Thanos roared, then threw Spider-Man, Peter Parker, away. Peter Parker slammed into Doctor Strange, and they both crashed together, rolling down the ground in a sorry state.
Then, Thanos tore the Cloak of Levitation from his gauntlet. Tony Stark, who had been waiting for an opportunity, attacked as well, using all sorts of offensive methods.
But it was useless. Even his attacks were absorbed by Thanos using the Space Stone and then returned, blasting Tony Stark away. The three Infinity Stones on his hand were being utilized to an unimaginable degree.
This was the manifestation of the Space Stone's power.
The pressure of a top-tier powerhouse was fully displayed. At this moment, Thanos was like a god of war descended to the mortal realm, fearless and sweeping all before him.
Only the appearance of Nebula caused a slight emotional ripple within him. No matter how much he cursed his daughter as useless, Nebula held a place in his heart, although not as deep as his feelings for Gamora.
But because of this, Nebula had strived so hard in the past to gain Thanos's favor, surpassing that of her sister Gamora, even to the point of wanting to kill Gamora.
However, Thanos was ultimately soft-hearted towards her. He had already lost one daughter, and now there was only one left. If he lost her too, he would truly be alone, with no family left.
He had once fantasized about letting Gamora take his place, sitting on the throne and inheriting everything he had, continuing the long-term supervision of the universe. But it was clear that Gamora couldn't understand his ideals and ambitions.
However, he didn't care because Gamora had expressed her rebellion in this regard more than once. If it weren't for obtaining the Soul Stone, and if he really had to sacrifice the person he loved the most, he wouldn't have killed Gamora at all, merely imprisoning her at most.
Thanos was a cosmic overlord. To implement his ideals, he could sacrifice everything, including himself. But in his cold and ruthless heart, there was still a place for Gamora and Nebula. That was the only soft spot in his resolute heart. If it weren't so, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Soul Stone by sacrificing Gamora. It required the sacrifice of a beloved person; the emotion had to be genuine, or it wouldn't count.
Faced with Nebula's question about where Gamora was, Thanos couldn't answer at all because Gamora was already dead.
Faced with the enraged Thanos, everyone working together couldn't hold him down, and the battle had reached an unimaginable level of intensity.
Finally, seizing an opportunity, everyone suppressed Thanos, and then Doctor Strange cast a spell, causing Mantis to descend from the sky and control Thanos.
Although it was extremely difficult, they finally achieved this goal. Everyone did their best. If there weren't so many people, and if they weren't all considered strong individuals in the universe, it would have been almost impossible to reach this step.
"Did we succeed? Great!" Tony Stark said quickly when he saw this.
"Hurry, he's too strong!" Mantis said with a look of terror. She saw countless terrifying images in Thanos' mind; these images, these memories, made her feel incredibly frightened.
Thanos had a powerful will, hiding countless sad things in his heart, even managing to remain expressionless.
But Mantis couldn't. She didn't have that kind of willpower and mental fortitude. Thanos' boundless sorrow and distress, mixed with the rage in his heart, formed a terrifying stream of information that almost overwhelmed her will.
Everyone was giving it their all, barely able to control Thanos for a short time, just a fleeting moment, but it was a hard-won opportunity for everyone.
At this moment, if they could remove his Infinity Gauntlet, perhaps they still had a chance.
But if they couldn't take it off, they would all die.
Everyone outside the image grew nervous. Although they knew they might fail, no, they likely would fail, otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn't have said that the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers were defeated by Thanos.
If they could win here, there wouldn't have been the later battle between the three major figures of the Avengers and Thanos. But what if? "They must succeed!"
At this moment, Hawkeye couldn't help but say,
"It won't work, otherwise there wouldn't have been the situation of the three major powerhouses battling Thanos later!" Black Widow, Natasha, sighed and then said,
"Not necessarily!" Tony Stark said. "After all, when Thor, Captain, and I fought Thanos, we mentioned the Infinity Stones, but at that time we didn't know what the stones were, right?"
Tony Stark brought up a point that no one had mentioned before, which was that when the Avengers' three major powerhouses fought Thanos, they had mentioned the Infinity Stones.
But at that time, how would they have known what the Infinity Stones were? It wasn't until they saw the Mage King and Doctor Strange's explanation just now that they knew what the Infinity Stones were.
It also solved a doubt for them, which was what Thanos relied on to slaughter half of the universe's life, and why he wanted to争夺 the Infinity Gauntlet, the Infinity Stones.
It turned out that after gathering all six Infinity Stones, even just a snap of the fingers, half of the life in the entire universe would disappear. This efficiency was simply terrifying.
There was no need to slaughter them planet by planet. It had already surpassed the power of physical weapons, but had reached the level of philosophical weapons, law weapons, and thought weapons.
That's an unbelievable concept, even within the realm of science fiction weaponry.
For example, it's normally impossible to defend against a nuclear missile. But if you were to directly modify a physical law, reducing its speed below a certain threshold within a specific range...
Then, a nuclear missile that should travel its distance in one second might take countless millennia, thus delaying the danger for an unimaginable amount of time.
In Lin Feng's words, the underlying principle of all the unbelievable phenomena in this Marvel universe is science. Tony Stark remembered this, so he tried to understand the existence of the Infinity Stones using his scientific knowledge.
He tried to understand the scientific principle behind how a snap of the Infinity Gauntlet could take away countless lives.
"So, if there's a sequence of events here, is it possible that we successfully seize the Infinity Gauntlet, and then Doctor Strange, that magician, uses his portal rings to send us back to Earth, and then Thanos comes after us?" Tony Stark said. "After all, Lin Feng only said Thanos defeated both teams; he didn't say he killed us all, nor did he say whether we'd succeed!"
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed to be true. Lin Feng hadn't said they wouldn't succeed.
Even if this success was only a temporary one, it was a great comfort to them.
At least he knew one thing: Thanos wasn't invincible!
