The crisp sound of a metal finger snapping echoed in the battlefield.
Without any hesitation, the thumb and index finger of the Infinity Glove snapped the fingers that would decide the fate of both sides.
Why didn't he use his middle finger like Thanos? Because Luke's middle finger had just been cut off, and it hadn't regrown yet.
As the voice rang out, Thanator's body suddenly went limp, and he crashed to the ground dozens of meters away from Luke and Tony.
All the Thanos troops fighting the Earth coalition army paused as well, and no more artillery shells or gunfire were fired.
They all felt a force descend, telling them that the outcome was already decided, and that they couldn't resist or escape.
Thanos struggled to get up from the ground. His ferocious expression suddenly became calm as he slowly scanned his troops.
In the sky, an enormous insect battleship lost control and smashed toward Rocket, who was firing wildly at it.
Rocket screamed and covered his head as he dodged.
But the moment before the big insect touched him, it turned into black ash that drifted down like sand and disappeared.
Rocket, who had escaped death, let go of his head and looked around.
All the Thanos' aircraft in the sky lost control and tumbled down.
But there were no explosions or collisions. As if they were illusions, they crisscrossed each other and scattered into black sand before they landed on the ground.
The enormous triangular landing ship also turned into sand in midair and disappeared.
The four-armed monsters, biochemical behemoths, heavy infantry, heavy tanks, and even the mountainous Thanos' mount in the sky began to emit black smoke and quickly disappear.
Everything that belonged to Thanos had been "taken away."
Alpha Centauri was dozens of meters behind Thanos.
At that moment, her face was filled with despair and sorrow. She hugged Deathblade, who had fallen in her arms, and reached out to caress his face.
Deathblade looked into her eyes, but could only murmur, "I hope … we can still … meet again …"
His face and her hand turned into black sand at almost the same time.
With reluctance to part with each other, the two of them quietly turned into ashes. The black sand entangled for a few breaths before they disappeared without a trace.
Seeing all this, Thanos gasped and took two steps back, before he sat down on the wreckage of a building behind him.
Casually stabbing the half-broken blade into the ground beside him, he looked like an old man who had exhausted all of his strength. He wiped his face heavily with both hands and exhaled deeply towards the sky.
After that, this overlord of the universe didn't say another word and turned into dust along with all his subordinates.
Only the Earth Coalition Army and the Avengers were left on the battlefield.
Their eyes were filled with the joy of victory, but looking at the corpses of their comrades all over the ground, they couldn't bring themselves to smile.
Sacrifices were always unavoidable, but the tragic casualties that appeared in front of him could not be treated as a simple number.
At this moment, a streak of light that was as bright as a comet descended from the sky, dragging a long tail of flames behind it. It was heading towards the battlefield.
Tony tilted his head and asked nervously, "Friday, what's that?"
Luke's heart also skipped a beat. This meant that Tyrant Destroyer was hiding some sort of second stage final boss.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at a certain Supreme Sorcerer who was still fighting against the bursting lake. Damn it, you didn't mean to say 'there's another one behind' with that finger of yours, did you? Or … did the knight have another hand?
Luke gritted his teeth and gasped. That sounded pretty reliable, didn't it?
Also, Supreme Sorcerers had always been this insane. They would definitely do something like that.
Thinking that, he patted Tony on the shoulder and stretched out his right hand in front of the tycoon's eyes. "Why don't you hurry up and change it to a left-handed one? I should be able to use it one more time."
Hearing this outrageous request, Tony's eyes widened as he turned around. "Damn it … Do you have to be so desperate?"
Tony was a mortal.
He was arrogant, sensitive, sharp-tongued, fond of beautiful women and scientific research, and passionate about being a boss.
Now that he had a daughter, he was even more hesitant about sacrificing himself. Although he would still stand up in the end, he had experienced the hesitation and struggle in the past few days.
But this Dark Knight next to him from another world had nothing to do with this world, and was still the number one superhero there.
What kind of spirit did this knight have that allowed him to say, "Let's do it again with the other hand" so naturally after having half of his body burnt?
Luke patted the dazed tycoon's shoulder angrily. "Don't waste time. That thing will be here very soon."
Tony snapped out of his shock and quickly shook his head. "No, don't worry. That's our reinforcements."
Luke:??? Wang Defa! Don't tell me it's some cosmic special police who are responsible for cleaning up after the deed is done, right?
In the blink of an eye, the "reinforcements" that looked like a falling comet from afar finally revealed themselves.
Noticing what was going on, Luke couldn't help but gape. "Your reinforcements are just … one person?"
After receiving Friday's reply, Tony had already relaxed and leaned back against the ruins with a subtle expression on his face. "That's right. If she had arrived earlier, your hand might have been saved. "
Luke secretly cursed. What kind of f * cking "person" was this for Tony to say that he, the knight, would be out of the picture once she arrived?
Besides, if she could take care of it, what could he do?
Hm, wait! He looked at the Sorcerer Supreme again. Was he actually going to say "hold on for one more minute" when he extended a finger? Or was he going to say, "We have reinforcements?"
On the other side, Strange called a few Kamar-Taj Mages over to open the door and teleport the water back into the lake. Only then did he get out of the predicament of being unable to move.
At that moment, he realized that he was being stared at again.
Strange followed his instincts, and saw that the strange knight of darkness was looking at him again with a strange expression.
The Sorcerer Supreme couldn't help but mutter to himself, This isn't right! Out of the fourteen million probes, there wasn't any footage of this guy at all! Why did this guy snap his fingers in the end?
He had only extended his finger to remind Tony that there was only one chance.
Now, Tony's posture and the ruins behind him were exactly what he had predicted.
But … in the only successful scenario, half of Tony's body should have been cooked, and he should have been sitting on the ruins.
Also, as the controller of the time gem, Strange had been through fourteen million deductions, and he knew the timing of this victory like the back of his hand.
According to his deductions, Captain Marvel would have arrived at the right time.
The reason why she was late and didn't even get to fight was because of the knight who had broken in — he had ended the battle several minutes early.
That allowed Tony to survive, and so did more soldiers of the coalition army. Strange's head was full of questions.
