Chapter 2012: One Must Die? Another Arm? Take One Stone Out?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A dozen plasma blasts hit and completely destroyed a rampart on the side.

At that moment, the rampart collapsed, and water surged out of the gap toward the low-lying areas of the battlefield.

Given the formation of the ground troops on both sides, Thanos wouldn’t suffer too many casualties, while Earth’s allied forces would be trapped in the water and become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Luke darted under another sorcerer’s protective shield.

After a few more times, he would be close to where the glove was.

Once the area was flooded, who knew where the water would take the glove.

At that moment, he was already planning to drag a Kamar-Taj sorcerer along with him to create a portal.

He hadn’t done this earlier because the battlefield still hadn’t been in too much chaos then, and the Kamar-Taj sorcerers couldn’t protect against firepower from all sides.

Now that the cannon fire had already scattered the ground and air forces on the battlefield, the sorcerers only needed to resist the cannon fire from above, so the danger was significantly reduced.

Suddenly, Luke saw an eye-catching red cape in the gap in the rampart.

Two raised hands glowed with orange runes, and a huge twister appeared in the gap, sweeping the water back inside.

Without a doubt, this bigshot who had come to save the day was Sorcerer Strange.

Luke couldn’t help but mutter, “So what if you have magic? Hmph~”

Actually, it was quite impressive.

For Luke to do something like that, he would have to make preparations in advance and use a lot of equipment. It was impossible for him to create a huge twister like Strange.

The charm of magic lay in its completely unreasonable effects.

Of course, the most important thing was – it was too d*mn handsome!

Luke was already very strong, at least in his ability to survive, but he severely lacked the skills to act cool on a large scale!

For example, just now, Thor had been able to create a field of thunder and lightning with a roar, which was so eye-catching.

The moment Wanda attacked, red light filled the air, like a blood-red fire.

As for Luke? Hm, his Telekinesis was colorless and tasteless. Even when it was buffed with credit points, ordinary people could only see a faint golden light.

The Kunlun Iron Fist could indeed glow, but it looked like an incandescent light bulb.

The most powerful 120% state made him look more like a villain than Thanos.

So f*cking annoying!

Murmuring to himself, Luke’s luck finally ran out.

After dodging one plasma blast, he was hit by a stray one, and was blasted into the ground.

One muscle monster and one witch were sent flying by the barrage, and Thanos, who hadn’t been able to fight smoothly, finally stopped acting indifferent.

He casually gave the order for the bombardment to stop, then charged at the Infinity Glove.

But Luke and Wanda had kept him busy for about five minutes. Tony, who had been unconscious at first, had already woken up, and he quickly rushed over.

Thor, who had been pressed down under a massive foot, also gave a mad bellow, and grabbed the Stormbreaker ax which flew back to him from not far away.

Steve also recalled Mj?lnir, and followed closely behind.

Thanos was angry to discover that after fighting for more than ten minutes, everything seemed to have returned to when the battle first started.

It was still Thor, Tony and Steve on the other side, but Thanos’s sword and armor were all damaged, and he looked even more wretched than the other party.

The four started fighting once more.

After killing a Kamar-Taj sorcerer, Corvus Glaive decisively brought the remaining soldiers with him to provide support when he saw Thanos under attack.

Covered in dust, Proxima Midnight crawled out of a huge pit, and joined her husband.

The rest of the Avengers also noticed the situation and rushed over.

Thanos’s troops moved as well, and everyone finally closed in on the Infinity Glove.

However, the earlier barrage had already broken their formations, and the battle had turned into complete chaos.

Enemies kept popping up everywhere, and everyone had to face hostile attacks from all sides.

But nobody could back down. Retreating meant giving the initiative to the enemy.

Corvus Glaive charged into the center of the battle without any regard for his own safety. The double-headed polearm burst forth to keep Steve busy.

Proxima Midnight fired at almost the same time and sent Thor flying.

Thanos seized the opportunity to grab Tony and punch him in the face.

Tony blocked left and right, but was finally punched twice in a row. He saw stars, and had no choice but to retreat.

Thanos didn’t give chase. He turned around and slashed repeatedly at Steve’s shield with his broken blade.

Steve, who was using Mj?lnir against Corvus Glaive, was caught off guard. The shield cracked, and both he and the shield were sent flying.

Unhindered, Thanos immediately charged at the Infinity Glove ten meters away.

Now that he knew better, he gave the order for firepower support at the same time, and the area 100 meters around the glove fell under fire again to delay the other Avengers who wanted to provide backup.

Dazed, Tony shook his head; it felt like he was seeing double of the virtual screen in front of him.

Thanos didn’t hold back at all. If Tony hadn’t been fast enough, he would’ve passed out again after two more punches.

Then, he noticed a familiar glove ten meters in front of him.

He jerked and looked around quickly, just in time to see Steve retreating under Thanos’s attack. His shield shattered under the heavy blows, and he was sent flying.

For some reason, Tony looked at Strange, who was hundreds of meters away.

The armor easily zoomed in so that he could clearly see this Sorcerer Supreme.

Strange was looking at him from a distance. Maintaining a spell with his right hand, he held up his left hand and raised one finger.

A thought flashed through Tony’s mind, and he suddenly understood what the one chance at victory, which the sorcerer had never divulged all this time, was — one person had to die, to bring happiness to the entire world?

So, it seems that person is me??Tony felt conflicted.

Not far away, Luke, who was braving the barrage to rush over, sensed Tony’s emotions, and he noticed the other man’s final exchange with Strange.

Luke was a little started by the finger Strange was holding up. What did that mean? The Hulk had one more arm? Hm, wait, Dr. Banner was still outside the firing range.

Perhaps, it meant, “take out one Stone”? Without all six Stones, the Infinity Glove would be even more dangerous.

Then, Tony charged forward and crashed into Thanos.

With the glove right in front of him, Thanos couldn’t be bothered to fight. He pushed Tony away with one hand and grabbed the glove with the other.

Shaking off Tony, he decisively put the Infinity Glove on his right hand.

An extremely powerful force surged out of the six Stones, and Thanos couldn’t help but roar in pain.

Suddenly, two hands grabbed the Infinity Glove, interrupting the process.

Stunned, Thanos lowered his head, only to see a red and gold suit clinging to his right hand.
