Thanos from the past finds himself taking the blame for his future self's actions, but he doesn't care. Anyone who dares to stand in his way is on a one-way path to death!
He advances with a large sword in hand.
Wanda extends her arms, crimson magical energy surging. It seems as if she has grown wings behind her, formed from the rubble. With a fierce motion, she strikes at Thanos.
As she moves forward, she launches crimson magical missiles at Thanos, who defends himself with his sword.
Black Panther seizes the opportunity to pick up the Infinity Gauntlet but is targeted by Ebony Maw, Thanos's right-hand man, who also possesses formidable telekinetic powers. He manipulates debris from the ruins, forming giant hands to grip Black Panther.
Black Panther has no choice but to pass the Infinity Gauntlet to the agile Spider-Man.
At this moment, a fiery battle ensues between Thanos and Wanda. He wields his sword with all his might, showing no mercy.
Seeing this, the atmosphere aboard Thanos's warship begins to warm up. The likes of General Proxima Midnight start flattering him again, praising how easily their leader can crush these insignificant beings.
Thanos appears emotionless, but he secretly breathes a sigh of relief. Throughout his conquest of the universe, he has destroyed countless civilizations and planets. He can't afford to fail in such a remote place as Earth.
How can an unknown Earth sorceress dare to stand in his way? She's destined to be sliced apart!
This is also the opinion of General Proxima Midnight and others. In their eyes, their loyal leader is the epitome of invincibility, undefeated in battle, and unrivalled!
Earth's insignificant insects mean nothing to them.
However, what happens next surprises them. Wanda not only withstands Thanos's mighty sword but also counterattacks effectively. She launches a magical missile that sends Thanos, along with his sword, flying.
Then, with a wave of her hands, crimson magical energy takes hold of Thanos, lifting him into the air!
In the video, Thanos roars in resistance, but he cannot break free from the crimson magic's restraint. Meanwhile, Wanda continues to control her magic, gradually stripping away Thanos's armour.
In previous battles, it was clear that Thanos's equipment was extraordinary. His double-edged sword could cut through Captain America's indestructible shield, and his armour had withstood numerous attacks from all directions.
However, under Wanda's magic, his armour peels away like an onion. If she's given more time, it might not be the armour that falls apart next, but Thanos's flesh...
"Fire at full power!"
Thanos, understanding the situation, immediately orders his warships to rain down fire to break his predicament.
General Proxima Midnight is slightly hesitant. "My lord, there are many of our troops on the ground..."
But Thanos can't afford to worry about friendly fire now. He grits his teeth and says, "Do it immediately!"
Seeing this scene, the atmosphere freezes once again inside Thanos's warship.
General Proxima Midnight and others exchange glances, their faces showing surprise and disbelief. They can't comprehend how the Earth sorceress using crimson magic in the video can push their mighty Lord Thanos to this extent.
On his throne, Thanos looks solemn. He murmurs, "I remember, this woman is called Wanda."
"Yes, my lord, this bizarre game has given her a title—the Scarlet Witch," Ebony Maw cautiously adds.
After some thought, he says, "My lord, I believe I may be able to deal with this threat."
He also possesses powers, and initially, he thought Doctor Strange was worth noting, but now, this inexplicable Earth woman should not be underestimated either.
Thanos scans around and says in a deep voice, "Keep watching and learn more about our enemies!"
The appearance of this quiz game has disrupted his plans, but it's not without its benefits. The exposure of the future goes both ways. The Avengers can see, and he can see too. Naturally, he can gather more information and intelligence from these glimpses of the future to formulate a more perfect plan.
Of course, if he had a choice, Thanos would prefer not to have this strange game, but he can't change it. He can only passively accept it.
In The Eternal Space, Tony Stark says, "I didn't expect our Miss Witch to have this move..."
Natasha Romanoff says, "If I recall correctly, in the first battle against Thanos, Wanda's lover, Vision, was directly killed by Thanos, not once but twice. She was furious."
Steve Rogers muses, "Wanda has immense potential! Maybe we should have her learn magic from the Ancient One?"
Scott Lang adds, "Her name is Wanda? Why isn't she an option in this quiz? Otherwise, she'd be the answer! If she's given more time, she might actually kill Thanos!"
In the video, at Thanos's command, all the ship's cannons turn skyward and unleash a relentless barrage. The Avengers, each with their own means, manage to evade temporarily.
However, the continuous bombardment is still too fierce. The agile Spider-Man, with the Infinity Gauntlet, is inadvertently sent flying by the shockwaves.
The other Avengers also begin to struggle. Just then, the artillery suddenly stops.
Curiously, they look up at the sky, only to find the ship's cannons all aimed at the sky. It's as if there's a greater threat in the sky than on the ground.
The Avengers don't understand the situation, but soon, they see a "meteor" hurtling down at incredible speed!
Despite the intense artillery fire, it remains unaffected and ultimately strikes a massive warship squarely, boring through it from top to bottom!
The warship's weapon control systems are damaged, and the cannons fall silent. However, the "meteor" refuses to relent.
It traces a curve in the air, then returns to drill through the warship from bottom to top...
Now, the colossal warship is completely wrecked, sinking into the lake. Thanos watches this scene with a complex expression, a mix of shock and regret...
Steve Rogers gasps for breath and says, "Danvers, we need your support..."
