บท 297: Chapter 297: All Against Thanos!
Clark and his team acted swiftly, but destroying an airborne fortress like Sanctuary II took some time. Despite their best efforts, it took nearly a minute from the sudden appearance of Sanctuary II to its complete disintegration under the attack of the Power Stone.
This minute was enough for the many experts on the spaceship to react in time! Just before Sanctuary II was completely destroyed by Clark using the Power Stone, a deep blue beam shot out, teleporting Thanos and his lieutenants - the Ebony Maw, Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Cull Obsidian - to the ground below at the last moment.
As for Supergiant, perhaps she didn't have time to escape and was killed directly by Clark with the Power Stone, or maybe she had another mission and wasn't involved in this operation at all, or maybe it was something else? In any case, it doesn't matter because in Old Cap's memories, she was never mentioned.
Then, a flash of light appeared - it was Captain Marvel, Carol, who had rescued Gamora and Nebula from the spaceship and placed them on the outskirts of the battlefield, before rushing back into the fray with Clark, Thor, Wanda, Tony, and others to surround Thanos and his team.
At this moment, a somewhat teasing voice suddenly rang out.
"Watch the left!"
This was an inside joke, played by Cap and Falcon before, and Clark had also adopted it after crossing over.
This time, the voice belonged to Falcon!
In the next instant, portals sparked with lightning opened in the sky and on the ground from all directions, along with various locations on Earth.
Wakanda, New Asgard, the Avengers' compound...
One by one, superheroes emerged from the portals, some flying out, some acting alone, and others in groups. The most spectacular was the team from Wakanda, with Black Panther leading an army. The Wakandan brothers, holding vibranium spears and chanting loudly, marched out of three huge portals in an orderly fashion, shaking the ground of Morag with every step they took.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
With Black Panther's lead, all Wakandan warriors echoed in unison, their roars thundering through the skies!
Simultaneously, Valkyrie riding her silver pegasus, Pepper Potts in her custom rescue armor made by Tony, the second-generation Ant-Man and Wasp... one after another, powerful superheroes made their entrance, joining the previous experts to completely surround Thanos and his team.
"Hey!" Seeing that the situation was under control, Star-Lord, who had just been saved by Captain Marvel, excitedly ran up to Gamora, opening his arms wide to embrace the woman he loved.
Having learned from his previous mistake, Star-Lord decided not to play the actor this time.
He chose to take it easy, which was commendable! Seeing this shameless man trying to take advantage of her, Gamora didn't hesitate to give him a clean and efficient thunder clap to the groin.
"Bang!"
Star-Lord instinctively adopted a defensive posture, covering his vital area, then collapsed on the ground in pain.
Lying on the ground, he still didn't keep quiet: "Gamora, you missed that kick five years ago, but this time you hit the target!"
Disdainfully glancing at Star-Lord lying on the ground, Gamora turned to ask Nebula standing beside her, "Him?"
She couldn't imagine. Had all the men in the universe died, for her alternate timeline self to fall for such a guy?
The Nebula from 2023 calmly replied, "Besides him, you only have the choice of a tree."
On the other side, at the center of the battlefield, Thanos and his team were surrounded by the Avengers' army. Clark turned to a ready Captain America and said, "In this atmosphere, it feels most appropriate for you to give the orders. Cap, don't be polite."
"Wait a second!"
Just as they were about to face an unprecedented siege, Thanos was unafraid, but Ebony Maw beside him had something to say, "Aren't you all superheroes? Fighting many against few isn't very heroic. Let's have a one-on-one fight, five against five. If you lose, let us go."
Clark's reply to Ebony Maw's shameless proposition was, "With you universal threats, there's no need for chivalry. Eliminating you is the greatest justice. Shadow Clone Technique!"
To prove his point, Clark summoned five almost negligible clones with the Dropnir Ring to boost morale. Then he casually turned to Captain America and said, "Cap, why the hesitation? Let's go, smash them!"
"Alright!" Feeling the team's eagerness to fight, Captain America finally gave the order loudly, "Avengers, attack!"
As Thanos struggled under the overwhelming pressure of the Avengers, Clark snapped his fingers, then realized his divine BGM system was still sealed and couldn't be used in this timeline.
What a sad story.
However, before he could be disappointed, as the snap echoed, a powerful piece of music enveloped the battlefield.
"Sharpen the knives and cleavers!..."
Hearing the music appear out of nowhere, Clark was initially stunned but quickly understood.
The system had mentioned that the god-level BGM system wouldn't be effective during the mission, not that it couldn't be used.
These seemed similar but were actually different.
"Not able to use" meant completely sealed and unable to activate.
"Not able to exert effects" meant the BGM played in this timeline wouldn't have attribute-enhancing effects, but the music could still play perfectly, with impactful sound quality, a standard iMax 360-degree surround sound, full of energy!
As the music played, the Avengers felt even more blood-pumping, attacking with increased ferocity.
This wasn't a system effect, but the charm of the music itself! Even Clark was caught up in the atmosphere, transforming his Dittany into a staff and charging at Thanos, taking over from Captain Marvel to face the strongest boss. "I'll hold off this purple sweet potato essence; you guys clean up the rest!"
Now, Clark's true strength was roughly equal to Thanos, but due to snapping his fingers earlier, he couldn't exert his peak strength, at best only about twenty to thirty percent.
But his equipment was superior!
The two Infinity Stones he had mastered provided an unimaginable boost to his strength.
Considering equipment, Clark's current strength was actually ≥ Thanos.
Facing Thanos with the full power of the stones, Clark didn't feel outmatched at all!
Though it was draining, was he afraid of dragging it out?
Look around!
Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch, although not as strong as Thanos, could easily overpower any of his lieutenants. Thor was in a similar situation.
Tony, with his firepower fully unleashed, could temporarily stand shoulder to shoulder with gods, and with Pepper's help, they could definitely keep any of Thanos' lieutenants down.
Captain America, wielding Mjolnir, was also formidable...
As for others, a surprise attack or a snipe could also give Thanos' lieutenants a hard time.
After all, there's strength in numbers. With the Avengers having a numerical advantage, any strategy was justified.
Half a minute after Clark took on Thanos, the first casualty occurred
on the battlefield!
Ebony Maw, the only magic user among the Black Order, was lifted by Scarlet Witch's chaos magic, and then Doctor Strange methodically drew a portal above his head, slowly lowering it until it passed through Ebony Maw's neck, then abruptly closed it.
Split by the intense space energy, Ebony Maw was beheaded, becoming the first of Thanos' lieutenants to fall.
Almost simultaneously, with well-coordinated attacks, Captain America and Thor struck from front and back, a hammer and an axe hitting Proxima Midnight's neck. Caught off guard, she was simultaneously struck, decapitated!
"Such a brilliant 'Thunder Plow Hot Knife' move!"
The only one who could shout such a phrase in the Marvel Universe was naturally one of Clark's clones.
His five clones, lacking in combat ability, couldn't contribute to the fight and could only cheer from behind.
With Ebony Maw and Proxima Midnight dead, the remaining Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian, the ill-fated couple, were already being overpowered by the Avengers led by Captain Marvel, tangled in Spider-Man's webs.
And Wanda, using her chaos magic to control Corvus Glaive's blade, made a swift stab, skewering the last of Thanos' lieutenants like a kebab, sending them back to their maker together.
Since they were lovers, they should be together! With the Black Order eliminated, the dynamics on the battlefield shifted once more.
From Thanos versus Clark and others surrounding the Black Order, it became...
Thanos VS Clark, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Wasp, Pepper Potts, Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, Nebula×2...
