Before these villains, who were strengthened by Frieza, the already exhausted Ultimates had no power to fight back at all.
In this desperate moment—
Zzt!
A golden spark suddenly bloomed in the center of the battlefield.
A circular portal opened out of thin air and a figure wearing a red cloak and forming hand seals rushed out.
"Sacred Sword of Vishanti!"
The newcomer shouted, condensing a golden magic longsword in his hand, stabbing straight at Thanos.
It was this Universe's Doctor Strange!
Although compared to the Sorcerer Supreme of the 616 Universe, this Stephen Strange Jr. seemed a bit immature, even a bit of an amateur. But at this critical juncture, he still chose to stand up.
"For Earth!"
Stephen's eyes flickered with the light of someone ready to die.
However, faced with this sudden magic sneak attack, Thanos didn't even turn his head. He just swung his hand back.
Clang!!!
That purple-gold blade blocked the magic sword's thrust with unerring precision.
"A magician?"
Thanos turned around, his purple eyes filled with deep disdain.
"The tricks I've seen with Ebony Maw are ten thousand times more sophisticated than yours."
"You want to hurt me with such inferior tricks?"
Boom!
The purple-gold aura on Thanos's body suddenly erupted. That pure energy impact shattered the magic sword in Stephen's hand.
"What?!"
Stephen was pale with fright and hurriedly tried to change his hand seals.
"Bolts of Balthakk..."
"Shut up!"
Thanos didn't give him any chance to cast.
A giant purple palm penetrated the magic shield and fiercely grabbed Stephen's neck. He lifted him up like a small chicken.
"Cough, cough..."
Stephen struggled desperately, his Sling Ring falling to the ground, and the portal instantly closed.
"Too weak."
Thanos shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.
"This is this Universe's Sorcerer Supreme? He doesn't even have the qualifications to be a gatekeeper for Lord Frieza."
Bang!
Thanos tossed him aside, slamming Stephen heavily onto the ground, causing him to spit blood and faint.
At this point, the entire Ultimates was wiped out. Whether it was technology, mutation, divine power, or magic, under the iron hooves of the Frieza Force, it all became a joke.
"Whew..."
High in the sky.
Frieza, sitting in his golden pod, looked at the "corpses" scattered below.
He gave a bored yawn.
"Is it over?"
"What a boring farce."
He slowly descended and came before Thanos.
By now, all the superheroes had been gathered together, bound tightly by various energy shackles and metal strips, kneeling in a row.
Steve, Antonio, Thor, Stephen Strange...
These heroes who were usually revered by ten thousand people were now like lambs to the slaughter, in a wretched state.
"Lord Frieza!"
Thanos knelt on one knee and reported respectfully, "All rebels have been completely suppressed!"
"Please give your orders, Lord Frieza!"
Frieza floated out of his pod and straightened his collar.
He walked to the kneeling Steve and extended his leather shoe, lifting Steve's chin.
Looking at that face, which was covered in blood yet still full of hatred, Frieza smiled.
"Tsk tsk..."
"Captain Rogers, you don't look like a hero at all right now. You look more like a stray dog."
"Ptui!"
Steve spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Frieza.
Hum!
An invisible wall of Ki blocked the filth.
Frieza's gaze instantly turned cold. "It seems you still haven't learned how to be a good slave."
He turned around and didn't look at these people again because he had already thought of a better idea.
A brilliant idea that could squeeze every last drop of Fear points out of this Planet.
"Thanos."
Frieza's voice was cold and cruel.
"Take them all away."
"It would be a pity to kill them. Such good negative examples shouldn't be wasted."
Frieza pointed to the sky above.
"Make me some cages."
"The transparent, energy kind."
"Put all these so-called superheroes into them, one by one."
"And then..."
A demonic smile curled at the corners of Frieza's lips.
"Hang them in the sky."
"Hang them in Earth's geostationary orbit."
"I want every person on this Planet to see their former guardians locked in cages like dead dogs whenever they look up."
"I want them to see with their own eyes how so-called hope slowly rots away."
"24 hours! Around the clock! Global live broadcast!"
"I want this to become the most 'beautiful' scenery on this Planet!"
This move was a way to kill the heart. Compared to physical elimination, this kind of spiritual lingering death was the greatest devastation to a civilization.
"As you command! Lord Frieza!"
A glint of admiration flashed in Thanos's eyes.
As expected of the emperor of the universe, this method was countless times more sophisticated than his simple snap.
"No! You can't do this!" Antonio roared in despair.
"You demon! You'll get what's coming to you!" Steve struggled frantically.
But Frieza just waved his hand with his back to them. "Take them away. Don't disturb me while I'm looking at the scenery."
Following Frieza's command, several small ships flew down.
Giant energy cages covered the group, and then, under the despairing gaze of the whole world, they slowly rose into the sky.
[Ding! Detected the collapse of all human faith in the Ultimate Universe!]
[Fear points +5 trillion!]
[Ding! Detected the complete shattering of heroic will!]
[Fear points +8 trillion!]
...
Listening to the pleasant system prompts, Frieza stood on the ruins, looking at the several small black dots that were getting smaller and smaller.
The smile on his face was elegant and composed.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho..."
"It seems this business deal has turned a huge profit again."
