Chapter 443 The Protagonist's Fate Cannot Withstand a Gang Fight of Justice (Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Subscriptions!)
The timeline of Avengers 1 has been transformed into a Marvel parallel universe in a zombie apocalypse.

After obtaining the Time Stone from the Ancient One, Chu Xuan placed it into his homemade knock-off Infinity Gauntlet and joined the battle in New York.

Although it was only his first time using the Time Stone, Chu Xuan's mastery of it far surpassed that of Doctor Strange and even the Ancient One.

It's not that he's particularly strong and can unleash more power from the Time Stone, but rather that Chu Xuan possesses an immense and extensive knowledge base. Furthermore, in preparation for this team battle, he specifically supplemented his knowledge with a great deal of information related to the attributes of the six Infinity Stones, making him even more adept at using the stones.

Time rewind, time freeze, time acceleration/deceleration, four-dimensional perspective, even pseudo-dimensional reduction attacks similar to two-dimensional foils, and manipulating causality, using the connections between the six Infinity Stones to influence the Infinity Stones held by zombie Thanos and supergiant, thus weakening their power.

With the help of numerous sorcerers in Kamar-Taj and the teams from the Southern Flame and Northern Ice Continents, the zombie army in New York quickly began to be decimated at a visible rate, turning into real corpses and perishing completely.

Meanwhile, top-tier powerhouses like zombie Thanos and zombie Marvel have fallen into a disadvantageous position, making the situation extremely favorable.

“Ho ho ho—!!”

The first one to be dealt with was the zombie Hulk.

Ultimately, it's just an infinitely diverse version, and the setting is closer to the movie plot. Although it still has the ability to become stronger the angrier it gets, it has obvious limits.

Of course, it could also be due to the limitations of his zombie body. In any case, after realizing that he had no advantage in a burst of power, Zheng Zha listened to Chu Xuan's advice and began a protracted battle. He also used the Time Gem to constantly rewind and refresh, always maintaining his peak condition.

Finally, after discovering the Hulk's weakened state, Zheng Zha used the "Buddha's Fury Lotus" move to shove it directly into the opponent's mouth, bombarding it from the inside and winning the first kill of the battle.

Next up is Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.

The opponent's power comes from the Space Stone, similar to the Sentinel's situation. She has opened a portal to a certain dimension within her body, allowing her to continuously draw power. This is also what she is shown in the movie, far exceeding the limits of a single Stone owner.

Even now that Captain Marvel has become a zombie, this ability hasn't disappeared. In addition, the zombie's immortality allows it to withstand even greater energy. Even without the micro-management abilities that come with the Gene Lock, Captain Marvel can still crush most of the four powerful beings with her sheer power.

In contrast, although Zhao Yingkong, who fought her, was superior in both skill and combat awareness, and could also use some of her spiritual light, the difference in size between a top-tier fourth-level combatant and a near-fourth-level high-level combatant was too great. It was already quite remarkable that she could remain undefeated, and winning would not be something that could be achieved in a short time.

Just then, Chu Xuan made his move again.

As the Ancient One said, the Time Stone cannot reverse this strange zombie virus, but it can reverse the state of the portal inside Captain Marvel, restoring it to a state before it was opened.

Undoubtedly, this time will be very short, but in a fourth-order battle, even a nanosecond is enough to determine the outcome.

And so, without the boost of that strange energy, Captain Marvel's combat power was instantly greatly reduced. Zhao Yingkong seized the opportunity and beheaded her with a single blow from the Tiger Soul Blade, leaving her utterly dead.

Both battlefields concluded with victors and vanquished, and Zheng Zha and Zhao Yingkong, under the influence of the Time Gem, were refreshed and rushed to Zhan Lan's side with full health and mana.

It must be said that although Thanos' performance in the movie was extremely poor, and he might not even be able to defeat Doctor Strange in his base form, he now possesses the Power and Space Stones, and he has extremely high intelligence and a wealth of knowledge as his foundation. He has made the most of the Infinity Stones.

Spatial black holes, spatial folds, instantaneous teleportation, the transformation between reality and illusion, and various manipulations of the four fundamental forces—all were effortless for him. Most terrifyingly, in his battle with Zhan Lan, the zombie Thanos undeniably touched upon a level of subtle skill. While certainly not reaching the level of a fourth-tier gene lock, it significantly elevated his use of the Infinity Stones, giving him a feel reminiscent of a protagonist achieving a breakthrough in battle.

To be honest, this really fits Thanos's character. He's a well-known overpowered protagonist in the Marvel Universe, the kind of freak who can find legendary artifacts just by going out for a stroll. So, the absurd thing about him getting stronger in battle doesn't seem so strange.

Unfortunately, this is an American comic, not a Japanese one. Having the protagonist's luck isn't enough. When faced with the ultimate move of the justice team—a group attack of justice—they still have to kneel down.

A deafening roar of a tiger shook the heavens, and a sharp blade of light tore through the crumbling spatial barrier, severing Thanos's left arm at the elbow. Then, accompanied by the clear cry of a phoenix and the howling of azure flames, the remaining body of the zombie Thanos turned to ashes and vanished completely from this collapsing Marvel Universe.

[Ding! You have defeated the zombie Thanos and obtained a D-level side quest. Reward: 2000 points]

The notification from the main god sounded simultaneously in the minds of Zhao Yingkong, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan. After confirming it, Zheng Zha immediately started complaining.

"That black-hearted God is getting stingier and stingier. This is the final boss of Marvel's Phase One, and he won't even give him a B-level side story. Doesn't the mighty ruler of the universe have any dignity?"

Zhan Lan was also speechless. This reward would have been considered good in the past, but thinking about the hard battle just now, she suddenly felt like she had lost out.

Fortunately, they had experienced similar situations many times in the various dimensions of the chat group before, so they were used to it. They would make a few minor complaints and then forget about it.

At this moment, Chu Xuan had already walked over. On his left hand, a counterfeit Infinity Gauntlet was inlaid with a green Time Stone, and in his right hand, he held the Mind Scepter that he had taken from Supergiant.

With a whooshing sound, Zhao Yingkong flapped her wings and landed beside Zhan Lan, holding the Infinity Gauntlet that had been removed. Her gaze swept over the two gems in Chu Xuan's hand, indicating who should wear the gauntlet.

"Let me do it."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Regarding the Infinity Stones, I need to verify some things. If all goes well, we should be able to find Wu Xian's location soon and reunite with him."

"real!"

The members of Team Central were overjoyed upon hearing this. Zhao Yingkong, without the slightest hesitation, handed over the Infinity Gauntlet, her eyes filled with hope.

Coincidentally, when Chu Xuan put on the original Infinity Gauntlet, he also encountered a situation where the size was not right. He then modified it with the same Divine Refinement technique, and then put the Time and Mind gems into the grooves of the gauntlet. Four powerful forces instantly surged into his body, and his aura also rose accordingly.

Chu Xuan remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever at the sudden increase in power.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's puzzled looks, Chu Xuan took something out of his spatial bag, pressed it onto the Infinity Gauntlet, and once again activated the Divine Refinement Technique to fuse it.

If Wu Xian were here at this moment, he would immediately recognize the origin of this item. Isn't it the Creation Jade Disc that he retrieved from the ancient Chinese ruins in the world of Gods and Demons?
