"That's a real shame. You will die here, and your heads will adorn my throne." Thanos's voice was full of confidence, as if he had already made it a certainty. He continued, "And I will make the humans on Earth die in a very painful way, and I will even extract their souls and make them into a rose."

“Then you’ll need to step over my dead body,” Adam said calmly.

Although one could sense Thanos's power just by looking at him, and felt a chilling sense of oppression, Adam knew he couldn't bring himself to admit defeat and bow his head to offer up the Infinity Stones. Moreover, he wasn't necessarily going to lose. Over the years, he had not only absorbed the energy of the sun but also the pure power of the sun god in the temple of the sun god. He was no longer the same as any of the Supermen he remembered. He was the unique Adam Stark, how could he possibly admit defeat without even fighting?

"Since you refuse a polite toast and want to try a penalty shot, then I'll satisfy your curiosity!" Thanos stood up from his throne and said in a very cold voice.

"Then I'll just experience your strength right here!" Adam said calmly.

"And me too, don't forget I'm your enemy as well," Athena chimed in, indicating her own presence.

“Oh, a very peculiar life form. I am quite interested in you. If you surrender and come to my side, I can take you as my adopted daughter,” Thanos said with a smile.

“I don’t have the habit of recognizing a thief as my father. Enough talk, let’s fight!” Athena said.

Chapter 460 The Final Battle Part 5

After Thanos realized that Athena was a special life form, he expressed strong interest in her and asked if she would be his adopted daughter. Unfortunately for him, Athena would not betray Adam and therefore directly rejected Thanos.

"That's a real shame. In that case, I'll take your head too." Thanos's tone was very confident, even arrogant.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to get up from your throne." Adam said coldly, and immediately stepped forward and threw a punch at Thanos.

Thanos is about 2.5 meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, which shows that Thanos's strength alone is also very strong, not to mention the super strength that a Titan can possess. Therefore, Adam's punch was blocked by Thanos very easily.

Adam wasn't too surprised that Thanos had blocked his attack. After all, the battle had only just begun, and Adam was merely testing Thanos's power. So Adam quickly withdrew his hand and kicked Thanos hard in the face, knocking Thanos, who had felt a bit of a rival after so easily blocking Adam's attack, off his throne.

"Thanos, be a little more serious, or you might die here," Adam said coldly.

"I am immortal." Thanos hovered in mid-air expressionlessly. Although he had just been kicked away by Adam, the proud Thanos stubbornly stopped in mid-air. However, his expression was no longer as indifferent as before, but had become serious and cruel.

The response to Thanos was a magical attack from Athena. Since the war had already begun, and it was for the sake of Earth's future to prevent Thanos from continuing to entangle them, Adam and Athena unanimously chose the most direct method: to kill Thanos.

While Thanos, a cosmic overlord, might be defeated by two people, truly killing him would be extremely difficult. However, Adam and Athena still wanted to give it a try. After all, three Infinity Stones exist on Earth, and Thanos is certainly not the only one eyeing them; they've just been observing from the shadows since his actions. Therefore, to deter these potential enemies, Adam and Athena needed to attempt to kill Thanos!

Thanos is, after all, a cosmic overlord who reigns supreme, and not the kind of overlord who inherits the throne from his parents or clan. He was driven out of his clan as a child and wandered the universe for many years, gradually becoming the overlord he is today. It can be said that the battles he has experienced in his life are definitely not comparable to Adam's experiences on Earth. In other words, Thanos is a master of combat.

Faced with Athena's magical attack, this time he did not take it head-on. He lightly floated to the right to avoid Athena's attack, raised his hand and shot an energy beam at Athena, then gathered his hands in front of him to block Adam's fierce attack.

Seeing his attack blocked by Thanos, Adam snorted coldly and twisted his body to kick Thanos's head again. Thanos, being a master of combat, easily grabbed Adam's ankle and slammed him into the ground. With a loud bang, Adam smashed into the ground on the top floor of Thanos's palace, creating a human-shaped crater, and Adam was embedded in the ground.

Athena dodged Thanos's energy beam and saw Adam being slammed into the ground by Thanos. She snorted angrily and drew a magic circle in front of her with both hands. Purple lightning shot out and flew towards Thanos in mid-air.

Thanos, seeing Athena's magic, revealed a wicked smile and began to freefall, crashing heavily into Adam, who was trying to stand up from the ground. The explosion was even louder than before. Adam was struck in the abdomen by Thanos's legs, and the powerful force of the blow destroyed the platform beneath him, causing him to fall from the top level to the upper level.

On the facade of a building in the upper space, the axe-wielding man was being violently thrown over the shoulder by Hulk, who grabbed him around the waist. His head was embedded in the ground due to the impact. Just as Hulk was about to launch a further attack, he suddenly heard a cracking sound coming from the roof above. Hulk frowned, looked up at the shattered roof, and then jumped back to avoid Adam falling from above and Thanos, whose legs were on Adam's abdomen.

With a loud crash, Adam finally slammed into the axe-wielding man. Because of this, he wasn't seriously injured. He roared, his eyes turning bloodshot, and used a heat ray to dodge Thanos, then stood aside again.

"Is he Thanos?" Hulk asked.

Since his spontaneous transformation during the last Battle of New York, and with Professor X's guidance, Hulk and Bruce Banner reached an agreement, allowing Hulk to communicate normally with others.

"Yes, he is Thanos." Adam exhaled lightly, expelling the unpleasant sensations from his body, and said calmly, "A very powerful guy."

Upon hearing this, Hulk immediately jumped forward to attack Thanos, completely ignoring the axe-wielding man he had knocked down to the side. In his rather simple mind, the axe-wielding man no longer interested him, and Thanos's towering figure aroused his desire to attack.

After seeing this, Adam did not stop Hulk. He glanced at the axe man whose head was now even deeper after being hit by him, and then struck him hard in the waist, breaking the axe man's spine and extinguishing his last chance of life.

Adam might be very kind to humans, even to the point of being seen as saintly by some, but he is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty when facing other beings! Do you remember when Adam first appeared, he slaughtered the cannibals? He always killed any non-human creatures that were hostile to Earth or to him.

Furthermore, killing the axe-wielding man had another advantage: it would allow Hulk to help him fight Thanos. From the beginning, Adam never intended to fight Thanos alone, not because of a lack of strength, but because if he could choose to fight as a group, why fight alone?

Adam thought this and did it. He shouted for Hulk to run over and fight Thanos. Adam didn't hesitate and went straight into the fight. In this world, the victor always has the final say. As for what means the victor used, no one cares. The victor is justice. If you win, your group fight is a fight for justice without regard for rules. If you lose, it becomes a despicable and shameless attack.

Thanos didn't say anything or show any anger when Adam, Hulk, and Athena joined the battle. He had been through this stage himself, and what truly calmed him down was his own strength.

Rumble, rumble, rumble

A series of explosions rang out. The hall where Hulk and Axe Man had just fought had been destroyed in the battle between Thanos and Adam. Only now did Adam truly realize Thanos's strength and fighting skills, and also realized that his own fighting skills were still somewhat immature.

"It seems that choosing to fight in outer space was a very wise choice," Adam thought to himself.

He felt that he was not much weaker than Thanos in terms of strength, but in terms of certain techniques, he could always make Thanos counterattack him instantly. It seemed that he had relied too much on his strength in the past and neglected to train his skills.

However, it's not too late for Adam to realize this now. After all, he has a super brain and a very strong learning ability. He can still refine his fighting skills little by little while fighting Thanos. Because of this, Thanos went from easily dealing with the three people at the beginning to struggling in the end, and he was also surprised by Adam's learning ability.

"Hmph, you are indeed very powerful, especially in your learning ability. If you surrender now, hand over the three Infinity Stones, and become my adopted son, I will spare the lives of all living beings on Earth." Thanos pushed Adam and the others away with both hands, and then said to Adam.

He was now somewhat reluctant to fight, but a fondness for Adam had taken hold of him. After all, people like Adam, who could enhance their abilities during battle, were rare. Thanos felt that if he could subdue Adam, he would not only obtain the three Infinity Stones but also gain a powerful ally. This wasn't Thanos being afraid; he had never been afraid of anyone.

Chapter 461 The Final Battle

Thanos's appreciation held no appeal for Adam, who had already decided to leave this world and travel to a higher plane to find Christine and Mount Olympus. All he wanted now was to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Therefore, Adam responded to Thanos's offer of a punch without hesitation. This punch sent Thanos staggering back several steps, and Adam immediately launched a second round of attacks.

Thanos, while blocking the attacks from Adam and the others, said, "What a pity, I really admire you."

"I don't need your appreciation." Adam snorted angrily, flew above Thanos, clasped his hands together like an axe, and slammed it down on Thanos, knocking him from mid-air to the ground with a loud bang.

This was the first time Thanos had been knocked to the ground by Adam today, which shows how furious he was. Instead of getting up, he unleashed terrifying rays from his eyes, blasting the three people in the air away.

Cough cough, Adam was hit directly by Thanos's ray, and coughed up some blood from his chest. This was the second time Adam had been injured. The last time was when he was beaten by the Injustice Superman in another world. This time, he was injured by Thanos's ray.

"Master, are you alright?" Athena appeared beside Adam in a flash and asked.

Adam shook his head and laughed, "It's nothing, haha, it's been a long time since I've been injured. Thanos, let's fight this battle!"

After Adam finished speaking, he took to the air and fought Thanos again. The two rose from the ground to mid-air, and their speed increased rapidly. Hulk and Athena were unable to intervene in their battle for a while.

"This is really frustrating," Hulk said sullenly, sitting to the side.

“Their battle is beyond our control.” Athena frowned and said, “Hulk, please go down and help them end the battle quickly. I have a feeling that my master alone cannot defeat him.”

“But I don’t think it’s that difficult,” Hulk said, frowning.

"That's why I find it a bit suspicious. Thanos is the overlord who rules the universe," Athena said calmly.

“Okay, I’ll go check them out.” After saying that, Hulk disappeared after a few leaps.

Athena stood still, intently watching the intense battle above. Every time Adam was hit by Thanos's attack, Athena felt a shiver run through her heart. This feeling of helplessness hadn't been felt by Athena for a long time.

Just then, with a loud bang, Adam was knocked down from the sky by Thanos's whip kick, landing on the ground not far from Athena, blasting a huge crater in the ground. Athena saw this and immediately ran over.

"Master, are you alright?" Athena asked immediately.

"It's alright. Thanos is indeed very strong." Adam wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "But I'm fine, and my strength is improving step by step. I believe I can defeat that guy."

“Alright, I thought I could be of help to my master, but your battle just now was too fast. I couldn’t keep up with your speed, and I don’t know many offensive spells,” Athena said, frowning.

"Don't say that, you fool. Don't forget how you fought alongside me before," Adam said, seeing Athena's expression.

Athena frowned and then smiled, her entire body becoming transparent as she merged into Adam's uniform.

"Thank you, Master. I've figured out how to fight alongside you," Athena's voice came through Adam's earpiece.

"Welcome back from your drink, Athena." Adam said calmly, "Then keep me informed."

“No problem, I’m ready,” Athena said with a smile.

Just then, Thanos descended from the sky and looked at Adam, saying, "Oh, so the two of you have merged into one? Heh, do you think you can defeat me like this?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Adam wasn't angry. He stomped his feet hard, leaving huge spiderweb-like marks on the ground, and then leaped into the air, punching Thanos hard in the face.

Thanos clearly didn't expect Adam to launch a sneak attack. After being hit by Adam, he became angry and fought Adam again. The two fought each other in mid-air, on the ground, and even in outer space, exchanging punches and kicks.

The area where the two fought had been reduced to ruins. Although Adam had tried his best, Thanos's body was simply too powerful. Despite countless attacks, Thanos showed no signs of injury. However, Adam also had a bug-like ability: his recovery speed within the solar system was incredibly fast.

=====================Shifting Focus==================

While Adam was fighting Thanos, Tony had already successfully killed Kress, the Iron Man warrior, on one of Jupiter's moons. Although Skynet helped with this, Tony wouldn't show any humanity to an enemy invading his world. He directly had Skynet contact the Watchtower to teleport a portion of his Iron Man suit over and set a small trap before finally killing one of Thanos's five generals.

"Where is Thanos's palace?" Tony asked Skynet as he sat in the ruins.

“Based on my and Charles’s observations, Thanos’s palace is getting close to the moon,” Skynet told Tony.

"We're almost at the moon, so we're not far from Earth anymore." Tony pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's the situation with Thanos?"

"Superman is fighting Thanos. Supergirl just finished off her enemies and ran over to help Superman, but Thanos is still not defeated," Skynet reported.

"Damn it, this can't go on. Get the ground crew ready; the battlefield might shift to Earth." Tony frowned, disconnecting from Skynet and asking his AI assistant, Friday, "How much energy do we have left?"

“The armor still has 30% of its power remaining. I suggest you change the power source,” Friday advised Tony.

"I understand." Tony took out a fully charged energy source from his spatial storage, installed it on his armor, and got up to leave. At that moment, he saw the scattered mech fragments on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he put these fragments into his spatial storage, intending to study them carefully when he got back.

Chapter 462 The Final Battle

The people of Earth, who had just emerged from the shadow of war, turned on the television today and saw news of an alien invasion. The news showed that an asteroid controlled by aliens was heading towards Earth, and the words "30 minutes" were displayed in bright red to indicate the time when the asteroid would collide with Earth.

The entire Earth was in an uproar. Thirty minutes? What could you do in thirty minutes? Maybe you could have a few cups of coffee, maybe you could listen to a few songs. Thirty minutes was far too short; these Earthlings didn't even have time to be afraid. Fortunately, the news wasn't all bad news. The news also showed scenes of Adam and the others fighting Thanos, which gave these Earthlings a glimmer of hope.

The location predicted by Skynet to be the site of Thanos' asteroid impact on Earth was already being evacuated when Thanos's presence was first detected. Although it was only for a short three hours, it was enough for S.H.I.E.L.D. and their superheroes to evacuate the population. Of course, given human nature, there were bound to be some who were unwilling to evacuate or who harbored illusions, but unfortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D. simply didn't have time to deal with these fussy individuals; they needed to figure out how to deal with Thanos's minions.

"Do you think they can defeat Thanos in thirty minutes?" Black Widow asked Black Panther beside her, leaning against a black S.H.I.E.L.D. jeep.

"I don't know, but hopefully we can defeat Thanos. This city in front of us will be destroyed." Black Panther said, looking at the empty city before him.

"All we can do now is pray. If God isn't on our side, we'll have to fight those aliens," Hawkeye said calmly.

“I don’t believe in God,” Falcon said calmly. “Skynet, report the situation.”

"Thanos and Adam have left that asteroid, but the rest are still fighting on it," Skynet immediately reported the intelligence it had obtained.

"Since Thanos isn't here, can't we find a way to stop that asteroid?" Black Panther asked, frowning.

"I'll contact Mr. Tony now and ask him about it." After saying that, Skynet hung up and got in touch with Tony Stark.

Far inside Thanos's asteroid, Tony is helping the others kill the remaining enemies. After two and a half hours of effort, the thousand enemies in the middle layer have been killed by the superheroes working together. Only the mysterious guy at the top layer remains, constantly using Vision to attack the superheroes, forcing them to deal with these phantoms and preventing them from helping Adam.

Tony had just killed his clone when he received a communication request from Skynet. He immediately answered and asked, "What happened?"

“I estimate that Thanos’ asteroid will hit Earth in about thirty minutes. You need to find a way to stop it, or at least buy some time. Charles and I want to activate the Watchtower’s attack system, which will require some charging time,” Skynet said calmly.

"And then what are you planning to do?" Tony asked, frowning.

“While Charles and I are activating the attack system, we also need to transfer you from the asteroid to Earth, which will take some time,” Skynet explained to Tony.

“Okay, I’ll go see how this thing moves, but I can’t guarantee it will actually buy me time.” Tony thought for a moment and asked, “How long do you need?”

“The simultaneous activation of both systems, along with recharging and other processes, will take about forty minutes. According to my and Charles's calculations, our current location is exactly at the optimal attack point. If you could temporarily stop the asteroid in that position, that would be ideal,” the Skynet system explained.

“I’ll give it a try, but I can’t guarantee anything.” Tony disconnected the link and then contacted Atom and Firestorm. He chose these two because, among all the superheroes, they seemed to be the only scientists, and quite skilled ones at that, who might be of help in this operation.

"You mean, you want to stop this asteroid from moving forward?" Atom asked.
