The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 385 384. The System Problem of Thanos' Force

If the private space is regarded as a kind of "formation", then maintaining the core of this formation is naturally the key to breaking the deadlock.

In this chaotic magic field, Scarlet Witch is the biggest core and flaw.

As long as the people who maintain this private space are eliminated, Thanos will be able to successfully escape from this trap.

Scarlet Witch is not unaware of this. In fact, she has only appeared for the first time since Thanos was dragged into the chaos realm.

On the one hand, it is because the lives of their companions are threatened.

On the other hand, Thanos did not show any exaggerated "chasm in combat power" in his battle with the Legion of Super Heroes.

Most importantly, compared to the last action against the Homelanders.

Scarlet Witch believes that she has been blessed by God's choice and has the assistance of Wanda, as well as the support of many top combat companions around her.

Thanos doesn't seem so scary anymore.

At least so far, Thanos' performance is more like a "late-coming hero" who is behind the times.

No matter how powerful he is, he is just an individual fighter.

On the United Government side, there are more than two dozen God-chosen warriors.

There are too many top super-powered people with famous names to count.

The joint government may even be "rich" enough to station a group of cutting-edge super-powered forces in multiple dimensions.

In comparison, among Thanos' forces, apart from Thanos, the only ones who can truly stand on their own and possess strong combat power are the "Black Obsidian Five".

Small-scale conflicts on a daily basis and local wars with certain civilized ethnic forces do not seem to be a problem.

But when it comes to large-scale full-scale military operations such as the Plane War, the drawbacks of Thanos' forces finally begin to emerge.

On the Earth in the Marvel dimension, military operations in New York and Nepal have tied down two generals under Thanos, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf.

General Grim Reaper is in charge of the dispatch of the most critical space fleet on the front battlefield and cannot be freed.

The most mysterious "superstar" is responsible for staying in the base camp of Thanos' forces and intimidating those areas conquered by Thanos' forces.

Only Thanos is left alone to search for the whereabouts of the Mind Stone.

This is not to say that Thanos's forces cannot pick out many top combat talents who can stand on their own.

It’s not that Thanos is unwilling to give up power.

It is purely caused by the "institutional problems" of Thanos' forces.

The fact that Thanos' forces have been able to develop to this point today is inseparable from their reliance on powerful military strength and the efficient killing and cleansing operations carried out throughout the universe.

Countless civilized races were slaughtered, and these civilized races used their "corpses" to provide Thanos' forces with population, energy, technology and other resources.

This allows Thanos' power to expand rapidly like a balloon.

But at the same time, the disadvantages brought about by endless killing and plundering inevitably emerged.

It is undeniable that there are many "frustrated people" from other civilized races in Thanos' forces.

Thanos overthrew the rule of their racial civilization and provided more opportunities for these "frustrated people".

But for the vast majority of indigenous people whose homes were massacred, plundered and destroyed.

The forces of Thanos are their unforgivable mortal enemy.

In order to maintain the military consumption of Thanos' forces in years of war, Thanos' forces must inevitably absorb talents from the conquered civilized races, plunder able-bodied men, and train them into warriors and cannon fodder.

In essence, the approach of Thanos' forces is very different from that of the United Government and is no different.

But in terms of specific implementation, Thanos' forces do not have as much patience as the United Government.

The United Government has been able to continuously implement naturalization rule and education in the black robe and mutant planes for up to twenty years.

Even if it costs a generation of time, we must ensure that the indigenous people from other dimensions who are absorbed can truly accept the rule of the united government and become true wandering people.

But how could Thanos’ forces have so many “twenty years”?
The average time they gave military training to the indigenous peoples of the conquered civilized racial forces was less than one year.

Afterwards, these indigenous cannon fodder troops would be sent to the battlefield to carry out endless conquest, killing, and plundering.

Under this pattern, few people can truly identify with Thanos' forces.

Even those elites of various races who have already climbed to middle and senior management levels in Thanos's forces are mostly loyal to Thanos on the surface.

In fact, it was a last resort.

Various rebellious incidents occurred one after another within Thanos' forces.

Thanos has personally executed no less than a dozen high-ranking officials, some of whom had status not inferior to that of the "Black Ops".

Frequent rebellions and betrayals have made Thanos wary of his highly capable elite members.

Except for a few who have stood the test of time and are completely submissive to Thanos, such as the members of the "Black Obsidian Five".

Thanos is really worried about these "foreign mercenaries" whose homes have been destroyed by him, their tribesmen and even their relatives have been massacred by him.

However, the frequent military operations launched by Thanos' forces forced him to absorb a large number of alien warriors.

Thanos' forces, seemingly powerful, are in fact just "fat but empty".

When foreign wars go smoothly, those "foreign mercenaries" become Thanos' capable generals and brave warriors.

But once the war encounters setbacks, especially when even Thanos himself is unable to do anything.

Morale will inevitably decline rapidly.

At the same time, the "rebellious genes" hidden in the hearts of those "outside members" will also burst forth and grow wildly.

Just like the power of the motherland back then.

This kind of force, which has no solid foundation and relies entirely on the personal bravery of its leader, has no support from the people.

Thanos himself is more or less aware of this in his heart.

But he had no idea how to solve it.

Can you expect a person who, faced with the problems of resource scarcity and population explosion, chooses to eliminate half of the population to solve the problem to have any better insights into this more complex "institutional problem"?
All Thanos knew was that he would die if he was trapped in the private space of this chaotic realm.

Then it won’t be long before the Thanos force that he has spent most of his life building, which can “stop children from crying at night” in most of the universe, will fall apart.

My great ideal of "sustainable development of the universe" will also come to nothing.

Kill the master of the chaos realm and escape from this plane.

This is what Thanos really thinks.

Show weakness to the enemy, and then induce the opponent's weakness by beating up the soldier boy in a targeted manner.

The moment Scarlet Witch appeared, Thanos finally stopped pretending.

The space gem on his body flashed with dazzling white light under his activation.

Thanos immediately let go and gave up targeting the soldier boy who had been suppressed by him.

Before the surrounding United Government super-powered people could breathe a sigh of relief, Thanos flashed and appeared in front of Scarlet Witch.

"Oh no! His target is the Legion Commander!"

Flash, who was at the back of the crowd, was the first to notice this situation. Thinking of the terrible consequence that if something happened to Scarlet Witch, the Chaos Realm would no longer be able to trap Thanos, his face immediately turned pale.

Then he didn't dare to think too much, and immediately changed his body shape and rushed towards the direction of Scarlet Witch. In terms of combat power, in front of Thanos with the power gem, Flash might not even be as good as a fist of the opponent.

But Blink was not prepared to have a head-on confrontation with Thanos at all. She just wanted to take Scarlet Witch away from Thanos' pursuit.

Despite being in a different dimension and under the special suppression of the Chaos Realm, the power of the Infinity Stones was greatly weakened.

But Thanos is still able to achieve the ability of "short-distance teleportation".

The spatial movements around him attracted Thanos' attention.

The white light emitted by the Space Gem enveloped the surrounding space. The next moment, affected by the Space Gem, Flash, who looked suffocated, had to interrupt his instant movement in advance.

Thanos punched Blink casually.

Shan Dian, who was never known for his physical defense, was immediately beaten and flew backwards, vomiting blood.

After this little episode, although Scarlet Witch was not successfully transferred, she was warned.

As he waved his hands, surging chaotic magic energy began to flow towards Thanos' position from all directions.

The Scarlet Witch's pupils turned blood red, and her combat power soared to the peak.

The surging chaotic magic energy is almost tangible.

Under the attack of this wave of energy, Thanos staggered and his armor quickly decayed and withered, turning into the most basic debris.

Even his skin was becoming dull and lusterless at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been washed away by dozens or hundreds of years of time in an instant.

Thanos, whose face was gradually covered with wrinkles, did not dare to hesitate. Under the influence of the Power Stone, he leaped up with all his might and rushed towards Scarlet Witch with a roar.

All this happened in just a few seconds.

By the time everyone present reacted, it was too late.

Scarlet Witch suffered almost the same fate as Blink, also being hit by a punch and sent flying backwards, spitting blood.

But to deal with Blink, Thanos just threw a random punch.

And against Scarlet Witch, the master of the realm of chaos magic, he used all his strength.

Under the invasion of massive chaotic magic energy, Thanos' face and body have become quite haggard.

But his all-out attack was still enough to cause Scarlet Witch, the chosen warrior of God, to vomit blood and become seriously injured.

Just as Thanos once again activated the power of the Space Stone, flashed in front of Scarlet Witch, and was ready to end her completely.

The anxious Quicksilver had arrived first.

He grabbed Soldier Boy's broken shield and blocked Thanos' fatal blow.

Then Quicksilver ignored his own injuries and launched a fierce attack on Thanos' body at extreme speed.

In the eyes of the outside audience, they only saw a silver shadow constantly appearing around Thanos.

Thanos' entire body was shaking and staggering.

That was because he was being attacked by Quicksilver's exaggerated speed.

Just as Quicksilver set his sights on the two Infinity Stones on Thanos and was about to snatch them.

The fingers that touched the space gem felt like they were burned by high-temperature lava.

Before Quicksilver could pull back his stinging hand, Thanos grabbed his wrist.

Then it flipped over suddenly and broke it.

"what!"

Quicksilver's face was distorted in pain as his wrist bone was broken by his bare hands.

Fortunately, after his delay, his companions around him also rushed over.

Psychic shock waves, laser energy rays, space constraints, telekinetic blades, swords and spears...

A series of attacks appeared crazily around Thanos.

Thanos staggered and looked back in a trance, but he could no longer see Scarlet Witch.

Instead, there was Jean Grey, whose whole body was shining with the "black and gold" power of the Phoenix.

The phoenix power gushing out from the opponent is in no way inferior to the chaos magic energy.

If the chaotic magic energy is to drain the moisture from one's body.

Then the power of the Phoenix was like igniting a fire in his dehydrated body.

For the first time, Thanos felt the powerlessness coming from physical strength.

My vitality seemed to be rapidly being drained away.

He took a last breath and glanced at the battlefield around him.

After fighting for so long, he was unable to kill any super-powered person from the coalition government.

The only thing to be thankful for was that after Scarlet Witch was seriously injured, cracks appeared in the space restriction of this chaos magic realm.

The sky, which was originally as thick as blood plasma, gradually became lighter in color.

The next wave of attacks from the United Government’s super-powered team is about to come.

Without thinking any more, Thanos immediately activated the Space Stone, tore apart the space barrier of the Chaos Realm, and escaped.

Thanos successfully escaped, and the hunting plan using the Mind Stone as bait was declared a failure.

There are no constraints on private space.

With the Space Stone in his possession, Thanos can hardly be trapped anymore.

Many of the United Government's superpowers who participated in the hunting operation were filled with dejection.

It was almost there, just a little bit, and Thanos would be killed on the spot just like he killed Homelander.

Once Thanos dies, without power and the Space Stone, his forces will be nothing to be feared by the United Government's huge military force.

But there is no if in all this.

Fortunately, on the United Government side, no high-end super-powered fighters died in this operation.

Compared with the last operation to encircle and suppress our motherland, the losses were much smaller.

The one who was most seriously injured was Soldier Boy, who was targeted by Thanos for the longest time. Even with the blessing of God's Chosen One, he was still beaten badly and was on the verge of death.

He was then urgently sent to the source plane's mother planet for treatment by the Black Robe Plane Government.

Scarlet Witch's situation is much better. Thanos' full-strength attack is almost pure physical damage, which is not that scary for her who has reached a "semi-spiritual energy physique" in her heyday.

Instead, Twinkle had to receive first aid from Jean Grey on the spot because of his insufficient physical defense ability.

The rest of the super-powered mutants, including Queen Maeve, The Butcher, Quicksilver, etc., all have injuries of varying degrees and require targeted treatment.

While dealing with the aftermath, the United Government Forces of the Black Robe Plane increased their offensive against Thanos' forces on the ground and in space.

Trying to force the fleeing Thanos to show up.

In the Marvel dimension, the confrontation between the United Government support fleet and the Chitauri fleet is also coming to an end.
