“That’s right, we need to stop this asteroid, at least for five minutes, otherwise it might actually hit Earth. Although they’ve made preparations, it would be even better if we could stop the asteroid here,” Tony said calmly.

“Alright, let’s examine this place carefully. If I’m not mistaken, this asteroid is clearly not a natural planet, but rather a modified one,” Firestorm added.

“So we need to find the kinetic energy system.” Atom paused, then said, “But obviously we don’t have time to look for it right now. This is a tricky matter.”

“If only Supergirl or Athena were here, perhaps she could help us observe what’s inside,” Atom said, frowning.

“But unfortunately, we don’t know where they are fighting Thanos right now. We have to rely on ourselves.” Tony frowned, then said, “Let’s call Doctor Who along; he should be of some help.”

Without hesitation, Tony and the others found Doctor Who, and then sent others to find and deal with the hidden enemy. The four of them left the upper space and went straight to the top, to Thanos's throne.

Time slowly passed. More than twenty minutes had gone by since Tony and Skynet started communicating, but they still couldn't locate the asteroid's kinetic energy system. The asteroid had already entered the ozone layer and was burning intensely. Because Skynet and Charles were simultaneously charging two systems, they couldn't activate the teleportation array in time, and some superheroes couldn't survive the intense burning in the atmosphere and perished.

Meanwhile, Tony, Atom, and two others had finally found the hidden kinetic energy system somewhere on the asteroid. The moment they opened the kinetic energy chamber, the entire chamber exploded.

Just when Tony thought he was going to die, he noticed that the pendant hanging around Doctor Who's neck was emitting a green light, and the whole world seemed to freeze. When Tony's mind returned to normal, he found that the kinetic chamber had not exploded, and Atom and Firestorm were also looking at Doctor Who with blank expressions.

"What happened?" Tony asked, puzzled.

“He altered the timeline,” Atom said haltingly.

As two people who frequently travel through time, they were quite sensitive to changes in time energy, and thus quickly discovered the truth. Atom and Firestorm never imagined that someone in this world could alter the timeline without the aid of a time machine or the Speed ​​Force.

Tony turned to look at Doctor Who—or rather, he looked at Doctor Who's pendant. He seemed to have heard Star-Lord mention something about the Infinity Stones, and the Time Stone seemed to have this ability.

"Is this the Time Stone?" Tony asked.

“That’s right, he is one of Thanos’s targets this time, the Time Stone. Now that we’ve returned to about twenty minutes ago, we still have a chance to destroy Thanos’s asteroid,” Doctor Who said with a sigh.

Atom and Firestorm were unaware of the Infinity Stones, but this wasn't their universe, and they didn't know what might happen if time was altered in this universe. Besides, Doctor Who had just done it to save them and Earth, just like how they sometimes traveled through time to save history, so they didn't say much.

“Alright, let’s examine this energy chamber. Perhaps we can stop the asteroid from moving forward,” Tony said, taking a deep breath.

“I’ll come and help too.” Atom went over and joined Tony in looking at the unfamiliar energy system, while Firestorm was studying the operating system on the other side. Compared to Tony and Atom, Jefferson was more skilled at this kind of thing.

Doctor Who remained quietly in place, keeping watch. After all, this was Thanos's palace, and Thanos might already know they had entered the energy chamber, so he needed to protect his companions.

Inside the energy chamber, Tony and Atom were having a heated discussion and studying everything around them. Finally, the three of them figured out the secret of the planet's movement and successfully stopped it from moving forward.

Chapter 463 The Final Battle Part 8

Inside a large crater on Mars, Adam and Supergirl are battling Thanos. Because they are fighting on Mars, which is closer to the sun than Pluto or Jupiter, Adam and Supergirl's regenerative abilities are enhanced, allowing them to continue fighting Thanos.

Thanos, by his very nature, would not have easily left his palace. However, after meeting Adam and Supergirl, he developed a stronger interest in them and was unknowingly led to Mars by them.

Thanos held the upper hand throughout the three-way battle. After all, he was a powerful being who dominated a part of the universe. Neither Supergirl nor Adam had the same combat experience as him. If it weren't for the fact that they were no less powerful than him, and that their regeneration speed was further enhanced on Mars, which is getting closer and closer to the sun, Adam and Supergirl probably wouldn't have lasted long before being killed.

Actually, Thanos's abilities are similar to, or even more powerful than, those gained by Adam and the Kryptonians from the yellow sun. They can both fire rays from their eyes, have enhanced hearing, and possess terrifying strength. Fortunately, Thanos can't absorb power from the yellow sun, otherwise Adam might think the fight would be pointless.

Three people, oh no, it should be four people, but since Athena was inside Adam's uniform, it could also be said that there were three people. The three of them fought for a long time, and apart from Adam and Supergirl's strength gradually increasing, nothing much changed.

Thanos was also quite frustrated. He came here to kill people, so why were these two getting stronger and stronger in the fight? He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. After knocking Adam and Supergirl away with one punch each, he looked around and realized something was wrong.

"Your recovery speed has increased, it seems to be because you are getting closer to this star," Thanos asked calmly.

"Ahem, it seems you're not so omniscient after all." Adam coughed a few times, then stood up and smiled.

"There is no omniscient and omnipotent race in this world, let alone an omniscient and omnipotent god." Thanos sneered and said, "However, I already know your secret, and I don't intend to continue playing with you."

"Sorry, you found out too late. We're not letting you leave here." Adam finished speaking and flew over, punching Thanos in the face and sending him flying. Then, he said to the somewhat surprised Thanos, "All along, we've not only grown stronger in terms of regeneration, but also in all aspects of our strength. We only fought you with strength that was almost the same as before because we were afraid you would notice. Now that you've noticed, there's no need to keep pretending."

"What a cunning Kryptonian, humph." Thanos roared and fired a deadly ray at Superman in mid-air, but Superman dodged the ray with even greater speed than before.

The Supergirl who was hovering behind him flew over and punched him in the back, successfully interrupting Thanos from firing his beams. She said, "We may not have as much combat experience as you, but we have plenty of learning ability. Also, thank you for being our sparring partner for so long!"

Upon hearing this, Thanos was furious. He thought he hadn't used his full strength because he was observing the characteristics of the Kryptonians, but he didn't expect that they were just using him to improve their own fighting skills. Thanos, who had always been the dominant force, could not forgive being fooled like this. He unleashed his full power and punched Supergirl in the abdomen, sending her flying.

Then, without giving Adam a chance, Thanos reached out and grabbed Adam's wrist, snapping it with a crack. It was at this moment that Thanos's power as the true ruler of the universe was revealed.

Adam's wrist was broken, and a sharp pain shot through him. He groaned and fired a heat beam to knock Thanos away, but Thanos grabbed Adam's eye with one hand, blocking the heat beam before it could be fired. With a loud bang, Adam finally cried out in pain.

Just then, Supergirl, who had just been knocked away by Thanos, arrived. Seeing Adam's condition, she flew directly to Thanos's head and delivered a flying kick that sent Thanos staggering back several steps. Adam, having managed to dodge Thanos's loosening of his grip, immediately distanced himself and, enduring excruciating pain, broke and corrected his deformed wrist.

Adam clenched his hand, which had returned to normal, and was about to continue fighting Thanos when he saw something that infuriated him: Thanos had grabbed Supergirl's slender neck and squeezed it hard. Although sound cannot travel through a vacuum, Adam could still hear a cracking sound, or rather, his brain automatically imagined the sound.

"No!!!" Adam's body disappeared from the spot with a hum, and when he reappeared, he had already punched Thanos away, and was roaring to the sky while holding the lifeless Supergirl in his arms.

"Master, be careful!" Athena only had time to warn Adam before she immediately reverted to her energy form and stood in front of him. Then she was struck by the scorching rays. Perhaps it was because Thanos was going all out this time, or perhaps it was because Thanos's rays were fatal to energy forms. In any case, Athena only had time to warn Adam before her entire body was blasted away by the scorching rays.

"No, no, this is impossible, Thanos, I'll kill you!" Adam went completely mad, abandoning his defenses and attacking Thanos like a madman.

Adam's frenzied attack startled Thanos, who was hit squarely in the process. Before he could even feel the pain, Adam grabbed his head with both hands and then saw a pair of fiery red eyes. Immediately afterward, Adam's beam blinded Thanos.

"Damn it! My eyes!" Thanos roared, reaching out to grab Adam's neck. In his rage, Thanos had forgotten his earlier idea of ​​studying the Kryptonians, and with a burst of strength, he crushed Adam's neck. Adam died at Thanos's hands.

The battle between the three ended just like that. Thanos, a cosmic overlord, became blind, and Adam and Supergirl, the two survivors from Krypton, were killed by Thanos on Mars.

Thanos stood silently in place, then sensed that his palace's energy room had been invaded. He snorted coldly and immediately issued the self-destruct order. Before he could even savor the joy of victory, the entire solar system suddenly froze; time stopped at that moment.

With a flash of green light, the entire solar system returned to its state thirty minutes earlier. Thanos, Adam, Supergirl, and others were still fighting inside a large crater on Mars. Thanos gradually noticed the abnormality of Adam and Supergirl.

"Your recovery speed has increased, it seems to be because you are getting closer to this star," Thanos asked calmly.

"Ahem, it seems you're not so omniscient after all." Adam coughed a few times, then stood up and smiled.

"There is no omniscient and omnipotent race in this world, let alone an omniscient and omnipotent god." Thanos sneered and said, "However, I already know your secret, and I don't intend to continue playing with you."

Just as Adam was about to say something, he felt that the conversation was somewhat familiar, as if he had experienced this situation before. So he immediately asked Athena, "Athena, do you feel a sense of familiarity? I feel like I've seen this scene before."

"Hearing you say that, Master, I have a similar feeling. Could it be...?" Athena exclaimed in shock, "The Time Stone! Doctor Mystery must have restored the timeline!"

"So, we might have already failed? But why did we fail? Didn't we successfully steer the battle in our own favor?" Adam suddenly realized as he spoke, "Phew, damn it, I actually got a little arrogant while we were fighting, and I almost revealed everything just now."

“Perhaps the reason we failed before was because of this,” Athena said immediately.

"Phew, I can't do that this time. Put away my rising arrogance and take this battle seriously. This is a battle that concerns all of humanity!" Adam said to himself softly.

Chapter 464 The Final Battle (Part 9)

Doctor Who altered time, rewinding it to thirty minutes earlier. This not only saved Tony and the others inside the kinetic chamber, but also Adam and Supergirl fighting on Mars. Furthermore, because Doctor Who pulled Tony and the others back into his own timeline, during those thirty minutes of time rewinding across the universe, Tony and the others had already figured out how to operate the kinetic chamber. They successfully stopped Thanos's palace from advancing without anyone noticing. And the moment the timeline was restored to thirty minutes earlier, the four of them had already left the kinetic chamber. Therefore, Thanos on Mars did not realize that the kinetic chamber had just been invaded.

Perhaps because of Adam's special nature, some of Adam's conversations with Thanos aroused Adam's suspicion. He immediately discussed this strange feeling with Athena and came to a conclusion that shocked him: the timeline had been repaired by Doctor Who.

In other words, the fact that Adam and Supergirl were likely to die at Thanos's hands made Adam put away his newly emerging arrogance and return to the cautious attitude he had when fighting Thanos. He did not continue to provoke Thanos, but fought him seriously, trying his best to make Thanos believe that this was their true strength.

In fact, it was useless to make Thanos misjudge their strength. If Thanos really got serious, but Thanos had been a ruler for too long, and his invincibility had made him lose his original cautious style. Now he always habitually teases his enemies like a lazy cat toying with a mouse. That's why he gave Adam and Supergirl more time to grow.

Because of divine favor, Adam realized his mistake, while Thanos was unaware that the timeline had just been tampered with. He had used the Space Stone before and could sense its unique fluctuations, but the Time Stone had always been on Earth, so Thanos didn't have a concrete understanding of it and therefore didn't notice. He continued to fight Adam and Supergirl—no, he should say he unleashed a slightly stronger power than before, continuing to play a cat-and-mouse game.

"You've only improved your recovery ability? Let's see what else you can do."

Thanos was not provoked, so he was gradually led into Adam's trap by the cautious Adam. Because of his confidence or arrogance in his own power, Thanos took the initiative to follow Adam and Supergirl, crossing Mars and Earth, and arrived at Mercury, which is very close to the Sun in the solar system.

Mercury is actually a very large planet, probably similar to the Moon. However, because of its high density, Adam and Thanos wouldn't turn into a demolition crew when they fought there.

Actually, Thanos regretted it after stepping onto Mercury. Why? When he was on Venus, he should have sensed that his palace had been destroyed by humans and wanted to leave Venus to go back and deal with things there. But at that time, he discovered that Adam and Supergirl had gradually grown from being at a disadvantage to being able to contend with him.

This discovery gave Thanos the idea of ​​killing the two of them, but unfortunately, it was no longer as easy as before. Leaving this place was not an easy task either. So, Adam and Supergirl fought their way through the area and eventually stopped when they arrived at the planet Mercury.

"Those cunning Kryptonians!" Thanos said through gritted teeth.

“I’m sorry, we wouldn’t be like this if you hadn’t wanted to invade Earth.” Adam sighed and said, “At the very least, you’re practically our teacher now.”

Thanos was furious when this was brought up, and roared, "Shut up! You've been playing the victim and deceiving me all along!"

Adam said calmly, "You can't blame us for that. If we fought head-on, we really couldn't compete with you."

"Do you think you're good enough now?" Thanos said angrily.

"There was no chance before, but now, we have to give it a try," the Super Girl said calmly, hovering to the side and absorbing the sunlight.

Thanos fell silent. In the end, he had underestimated his enemy, which led to this situation. But it was impossible for Thanos to bow down just because of this. Thanos was not the kind of person who would bow down so easily.

Another battle began, because this time Thanos finally got serious. Adam and Supergirl fought fiercely. If they hadn't been standing on the planet closest to the sun, they might have been killed by Thanos long ago.

However, no matter how arduous the battle, it must continue. Although they had just learned from Athena that Earth was temporarily safe, the Skynet system and Charles had joined forces to destroy Thanos's palace, which reduced the impact of the meteorite on Earth. Although the city was still destroyed, it was much better than expected. Moreover, because many of Thanos's endless cannon fodder died when the palace was destroyed the first time, when the meteorite fragments fell to Earth, all the superheroes used their strength to wipe out the remaining cannon fodder.

However, this alone cannot truly avert the crisis, because the culprit Thanos still exists and remains the most troublesome problem. Adam and Supergirl must do everything in their power to kill or defeat Thanos in order to resolve this crisis.

"Athena, has the battle on Earth ended?" Adam asked Athena while fighting Thanos.

“Yes, although Earth’s superheroes suffered some casualties, they ultimately won,” Athena said to Adam.

“There are no wars without sacrifices. Notify Charles and have him send Thor and Phoenix over here immediately. I reckon Thanos already knows what happened at his palace. He’s used all his power, and I’m worried we won’t be able to defeat him,” Adam said pessimistically.

It wasn't that Adam was pessimistic, but rather that after Thanos truly fought seriously, Adam and Supergirl realized what it felt like to be overwhelmed. Before, they were the ones who suppressed others with absolute power, but now that it was their turn, they realized how painful that was.

As for whether it would be inhumane for adults to attack him, Adam had long since stopped thinking about it. If Thanos hadn't been so overconfident and only brought a few people from his palace, but instead brought all the powerful beings from his entire universe, Earth would have been destroyed several times over by now. But there are no "what ifs" in this world, so Thanos could only be besieged in the solar system.

“Yes, Master, I have informed Charles. It will take some time to get here,” Athena said.

"Okay, I understand. By the way, remind the Earth's superheroes not to let Loki take advantage of the situation. Have Doctor Who and Hulk keep an eye on him." Adam thought about it and still felt that Loki couldn't be trusted. He didn't want them to fight to the death here and let Loki gain an advantage in the end, especially since all three Infinity Stones were on Earth.

Athena acknowledged the message and made arrangements for Adam. About ten minutes later, a flash of light appeared, and Thor and Phoenix arrived on Venus to join the battle.

Thanos was incredibly powerful, but he encountered Adam and Supergirl, beings who could continuously grow stronger simply by basking in the sun. Furthermore, Adam and Supergirl deliberately feigned weakness, learning Thanos's fighting techniques while shifting the battlefield to Venus, the planet closest to the sun. Finally, Thor and Phoenix joined the battle, and Thanos finally began to falter.

When four people gang up on one person, and the difference in strength isn't that significant, the one being attacked will inevitably suffer. Therefore, after Thanos held out for a while, he was eventually injured. When Thanos was struck by Thor's hammer and paralyzed by the lightning, Adam grabbed Thanos's head and, repeating history, shot out Thanos's eye. Finally, the scales of war tipped in favor of the superheroes protecting Earth.

Thanos, having lost his sight, was unable to unleash half of his fighting power. Especially without his lethal ray, which caused injury to anyone hit, Thanos was slowly defeated and killed by Adam and the others. Although Thanos unleashed a final burst of power, severely injuring Supergirl and Thor, he still couldn't turn the tide. An enraged Adam grabbed Thanos by the neck and twisted it violently, resulting in a crack as Thanos's lifeless body fell to the ground.

Farewell, Earth! (Final Chapter)

Thanos is dead. He wasn't killed by Adam and the others, but by his own arrogance and carelessness. Adam knew that treating a cosmic overlord like this wasn't very exciting, it was an insult, but there was nothing he could do. Who told Thanos to have nothing better to do than invade Earth, and why did he choose to do it while Adam was still alive?

In short, Thanos is dead, and Earth is temporarily safe. The reason for saying "temporarily" is that although Thanos is dead, his kingdom still exists somewhere in the universe. Perhaps they will fall into civil war because of Thanos's death, or perhaps they will fight endlessly over the choice of the throne. But one thing is certain: no matter who wins in the end, that person will definitely invade Earth again, not only to avenge Thanos, but also because there are three Infinity Stones on Earth.

However, these things are no longer Adam's concern, because by then Adam will no longer be on Earth. Although Tony is still on Earth, Adam can't be a babysitter and protect the Earth forever. Besides, Earthlings have also indicated that they don't need Superman's protection anymore.

"Thanos is dead?" Thor murmured, looking at Thanos's corpse.

“Yes, he’s dead.” Supergirl, who had regained her energy due to the distance, stood beside Adam and sighed.

Supergirl also knew that even if Thanos wasn't the one, he would still choose to invade Earth. Although people in their universe don't usually kill people easily, and even she and her cousin are non-killers, the non-killing principle is generally aimed at humans. As for aliens, although Kara has never killed any, her cousin has killed quite a few aliens.

"What should we do with his body?" Phoenix asked.

“Let’s throw his body into the sun. That’s better than having it used as a biological weapon,” Supergirl suggested. In her world, General Zod’s body was used to create the terrifying Doomsday, and she didn’t want the same thing to happen in this universe.

Just then, the entire space trembled violently a few times, and then Adam and the others saw that the space above seemed to have been torn open, and a stunningly beautiful, semi-transparent woman walked out of the torn space.

"Did you kill him?" The voice of the stunningly beautiful woman sent a shiver down the spines of the four people below. Could she be Thanos's friend?

"I killed him!" Adam said, taking a difficult step despite the pressure.
