Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

How do you know all this?

Peter smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Because I'm a time traveler."

But he answered in a serious tone:

"Don't be nervous. Telepathy is just basic stuff for me."

Then he continued:

"But have you ever considered that if you indiscriminately wipe out half of all lives, will anyone really be grateful to you?"

"I saved countless lives on this planet, so without me saying a word, people will erect a huge bronze statue of me in the square."

"And you, my friend, have conquered countless planets over the past hundred years, imposing your will upon them."

"Now, a century has passed, has any race recovered from this trauma?"

"Is there any race that has realized your foresight, begun to be grateful to you, started to erect statues of you on their planet, started to praise your great achievements, and started to sing the praises of the great Thanos?"

Upon hearing Peter's words, Thanos suddenly fell into a long silence.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that his Tyrant's Twin Blades were emitting painful cries.

This divine weapon, which had accompanied him in battle for hundreds of years, could have helped him cut through all obstacles with the blessing of the Reality Gem.

But now, this invincible weapon is shattering!

Just like... his heart, which was trembling wildly because of Peter's words.

Chapter 402 Killing someone by destroying their spirit: Thanos's end.

I felt the trembling of the tyrant's twin blades, or rather, I felt my own will wavering.

Thanos forcibly activated the power of the Mind Stone and Soul Stone to stabilize his mind, and then used the power of the Reality Stone to try to repair the ever-growing fine cracks on the Tyrant's Blades, all while verbally retorting:

Why should I care about these empty titles?

"I have long since transcended these base spiritual needs."

"I am cursed by wisdom, and it is my destiny to be misunderstood."

"They don't understand me simply because the thinking of mediocre people is outdated."

"When, thousands of years from now, life inevitably falls into endless resource competition again due to excessive prosperity, someone will realize my greatness."

"In time, a second me will naturally appear, inheriting my will and initiating a new round of purification in this universe!"

Such a righteous and awe-inspiring speech made Peter laugh out loud:

"What are you babbling about? Bro, do you really think you're some great philosopher?"

"Is it possible that the reason you came up with such a twisted logic is simply because..."

Peter paused, then gave a slightly pitying smile:

"You have never been loved!"

"Your parents never loved you, your clan collectively banished you, the children you adopted were nothing more than tools to be raised in your heart, and the only adopted daughter you poured your heart into betrayed you without hesitation after she came of age."

"You have no idea what it feels like to have love and then lose it, which is why you believe that what you call fairness is what others want, and that you are a being whose thoughts are beyond others, a being cursed by wisdom."

"But in reality, you are the truly ignorant and laughable wretch!"

How can it be? !

Thanos's mind went blank.

He stared wide-open like a dehydrated fish, but couldn't utter a single syllable in rebuttal.

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife!

Peter's words ruthlessly exposed the underlying reasons for all his actions.

Noticing his behavior, Peter sneered and plunged another knife into Thanos's already riddled heart:

"Finally, let me tell you a secret."

"Your vision of collecting all six gems and wiping out half of all life in the universe is destined to be nothing but a mirage."

what? !

Startled, Thanos glanced at Peter opposite him, unaware that the Reality Stone had already stopped consuming energy due to his shock.

"Do you think there are all three remaining gems on Earth? Do you think I've only managed to hold out against you this long because of the Power Gem?"

"No, you're wrong!"

"There have only ever been two gems on Earth. As for the Power Gem that you believe I stole from Ronan... I destroyed it long ago."

Lore!

The moment the words fell, Thanos's Tyrant Blades shattered.

The giant sword, as wide as a door panel, suddenly disintegrated. The shattered fragments, scorched by the multicolored black flames, turned into molten iron before even hitting the ground, falling into the exposed ocean basin below, where they were then completely submerged by the slowly recovering seawater.

Peter's fist, however, continued its momentum and landed squarely on Thanos's chest!

boom!!!

This time, it was a real explosion.

Thanos's powerful physique, capable of withstanding planetary impacts, was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of that fist.

The Uru metal armor on his chest instantly vaporized, and then, his solid muscles, thick bones, pounding heart... everything was destroyed, crushed, and annihilated by that domineering and unparalleled power!

A huge, open hole appeared in Thanos's chest.

He was like a purple cannonball that had been fired, flying backward at a speed exceeding the speed of light, smashing through countless layers of mirror space along the way, and finally crashing heavily into the boundary barrier created by the Ancient One.

Time seemed to stop flowing at that moment.

Peter slowly withdrew his fist, and the "multicolored black" on his fist dissipated. He remained suspended in mid-air, his clothes fluttering gently in the aftershocks of energy.

Clearly, that punch hadn't done him any damage.

gudu~

Subconsciously swallowing, after marveling at Peter's perversion, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the figure embedded in the spatial barrier in the distance.

Thanos...lost?

It ended after taking only one punch from Peter in the second stage?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Thanos slowly slid down from the spatial barrier.

A huge hole was ripped open in his chest, and half of his body was completely evaporated.

He was barely clinging to life—if it weren't for the power of the Reality Stone frantically working, constantly trying to repair his nearly destroyed body.

He's probably already dead.

However, repairing the Reality Gem is not so easy.

Thanos had already exhausted his energy during the previous battle.

Without the Power Gem as an energy source, each activation of the gem can only draw upon its own physical energy.

Even someone as powerful as Thanos had been drained by the three Infinity Stones after their previous battles.

Even if he wanted to use the power of the Reality Stone to repair himself, it would be nothing but wishful thinking.

"Cough...cough..."

Perhaps he sensed that his time was coming to an end, or perhaps his mindset had been completely shattered by Peter's words, "I have destroyed the Power Stone."

Thanos coughed up several mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. When he raised his head, there was still no fear in his eyes, only madness.

He looked at the Infinity Gauntlet on his only remaining right hand, where the three gems still shone brightly.

Looking again at the silent Earthling floating in mid-air, whose eyes still held a mixture of mockery and pity, he forced a smile after a moment:

"If I am destined not to complete the plans I have made on this planet... then I don't mind taking this planet with me to the grave."

As he spoke, he recklessly pushed the three Infinity Stones to their limits!

A terrifying power shot into the sky from the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand!

He deliberately removed the energy protection device of the Infinity Gauntlet for the three gems, and even began to actively guide the power of the three gems to collide and run rampant.

His purpose is all too clear: he wants to trigger a massive dimensional explosion, which will directly detonate the Earth!

Hearing that Thanos was so stubbornly obstinate, Peter couldn't help but shake his head.

Just as he was about to rush forward and sever Thanos's hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, a crimson figure silently appeared behind Thanos...

Chapter 403 Still a Backstab, Mephisto's Methods

The crimson figure appeared without warning; even Peter only sensed the spatial fluctuations through his White Eye the instant it appeared.

The person who arrived was, of course, Mephisto.

This cunning and treacherous lord of hell finally couldn't resist crawling out of the shadows.

Just as Thanos was preparing to destroy everything, detonating the Infinity Stones to take Earth with him, Mephisto made a sudden move.

A cold, sulfurous blade fell silently yet decisively.

puff.

With a somewhat ear-piercing thud as a blade pierced through flesh, Thanos's right arm, adorned with the Infinity Gauntlet, shot into the sky.

The three gems that were originally shining brightly in the sky gradually dimmed at this moment.

Mephisto reached out and deftly took the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand.

Without any effort, the scarlet, clawed demonic hand seemed to melt away and silently slipped into the Infinity Gauntlet.

In the blink of an eye, the Infinity Gauntlet has changed hands!

The light of the three Infinity Stones flowed through his palm, reflecting his own malevolent crimson energy.

“A nice toy.” Mephisto examined the gloves with satisfaction, as if admiring a work of art.

Thanos looked at Mephisto, who had suddenly betrayed him, and the madness in his eyes was quickly replaced by astonishment and confusion.
