Superman and Captain Marvel had already taken down many battleships and were now flying towards Thanos's flagship.
To be honest, Thanos didn't really care much about his underlings, but weakening his forces a bit more at this moment was still a good thing.
At this moment, Thanos shook his head, stood up from the ground, and squinted at Batman, "The Space Stone is on you?"
As the owner of two Infinity Stones, he could naturally sense the aura of the Space Stone.
What frustrated him even more was that this Earthling who suddenly appeared, just like those two strange beings from outside, looked like a normal Earthling but possessed unimaginable power.
Little did Thanos know that the Batman before him had already transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Bruce Wayne raised his hand, displaying the blue Space Stone and smirked, "Want it? Sorry, it belongs to me!"
This Space Stone was a reward from the quiz game and was completely bound to Batman. Even if he died, the Space Stone would immediately collapse and disintegrate, and no one could take it away.
Thanos sneered, "Very well, that makes it three Stones!"
He raised his left hand, and the Power Stone on his gauntlet gradually emitted a purple light, but at that moment, time suddenly stopped!
Doctor Strange activated the power of the Time Stone, freezing time.
However, this was not enough to restrain Thanos and his Infinity Stones. He was only slightly delayed for a few seconds, but it was enough for Batman to open a wormhole and send everyone away.
"earthlings!!!!!!!"
Time returned to normal, but Thanos found himself alone, and even the wormhole had disappeared.
What infuriated him even more was that his massive warship outside had turned into a splendid fireworks display thanks to the combined efforts of Superman and Captain Marvel.
Infinity stones had flown away once again from his hands, and they had even destroyed his fleet. Thanos was naturally furious, and he smashed the nearby tables and chairs with a punch.
Meanwhile, on Earth, at the Avengers headquarters.
A wormhole opened, and Bruce brought everyone back.
Loki crossed his arms, somewhat envious, and said, "I'm curious where you got this Space Stone from, and you're quite proficient with it."
When Loki saw Batman using the Space Stone to teleport, he was genuinely shocked. He had the Cosmic Cube in his possession, so where did this second Space Stone come from? What's more, he noticed that Bruce Wayne didn't need any device or medium to use the Space Stone; he could use it effortlessly and with great skill.
Loki was both curious and envious.
Batman just glanced at him and said, "Some things are better left unknown."
Like female Loki, for example...
Loki raised an eyebrow, his eyes shifting left and right, and asked, "What about Thor? Why didn't you bring him back while you were at it?"
Bruce Wayne looked out at the sky and said, "Once he's done forging his new weapon, he'll be able to come back."
Forging Stormbreaker was Thor's opportunity to refine himself, and Stormbreaker was different from Mjolnir. It could activate the Bifrost, allowing direct transport to Earth.
However, in the original timeline, Thor had suffered a crushing defeat by Thanos, witnessed the deaths of his brother, friends, and people, and harboured immense pain and a relentless desire for revenge. Only then, under extremely harsh conditions, did he manage to forge Stormbreaker.
Now that the tragedy was averted, it remained to be seen if Thor could still accomplish it.
Bruce Wayne shook his head and didn't dwell on it. He gathered the others to the meeting room to discuss their next plan.
Although the Space Team had not acquired the Reality Stone before Thanos, they had successfully joined forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy and prevented Thanos from using Gamora to locate the Soul Stone.
"But even without me, I suspect he'll eventually find it... It will just take more time," Gamora reminded.
Doctor Strange nodded, "Exactly, I suspect the Infinity Stones can sense each other. Thanos clearly knew I had the Time Stone."
Bruce Wayne raised an eyebrow, "As long as we can delay Thanos, it's not a bad thing for us."
Tony Stark from this timeline asked, "Alright, we're almost ready. Shall we find a place to have the final showdown with Thanos?"
Bruce Wayne said, "I originally hoped to set the battlefield outside Earth, but Thanos might not want that."
Stephen Strange looked out the window, his expression serious, "Trouble is here!"
As he spoke, he flew out under the guidance of his red cape. At the same time, a circular spaceship had arrived over the Avengers headquarters.
A blue teleportation beam was cast, and the Black Order along with their alien troops appeared one after another.
Ebony Maw stared at the Avengers' symbol ahead, raised his hand, and the walls crumbled, burying it completely. He said in a deep voice, "Our esteemed master will not allow us to fail!"
Proxima Midnight sneered, "These puny Earthlings are nothing. They have only one ending: surrendering the Infinity Stones willingly!"
With that command, the battleships above began their bombardment, and the alien soldiers launched an assault.
The Avengers and the players weren't about to back down either. They came out to face the enemy, and just then, a brilliant rainbow descended, smashing into the crowd of alien soldiers and sending these oddly shaped alien soldiers flying.
With thunderous roars, Thor descended, wielding Stormbreaker, and behind him were Rocket Raccoon and Groot, both prepared for battle.
"Ha, Thor, you've come just in time!"
Tony flew over, already suited up in his Iron Man armour, and teased, "Hmm, not bad, you're getting better at looking cool."
Thor turned to look at the Two Tony and shook his head, "No, in this aspect, I still have much to learn from you."
Two Iron Men, one on the left and one on the right, each unleashed a barrage of high-energy lasers, reaping down the alien soldiers like cutting through vegetables.
It looked quite spectacular.
Of course, if we're talking about the coolest special effects, it would still be Doctor Strange. He used the Images of Ikonn, creating countless phantoms, and each phantom swung an energy whip, making for a dazzling display.
"Hey, Sorcerer, do you use whips too?"
Wonder Woman hooked Thor's lightning with her Lasso of Truth, using it to swing like a pendulum and land in the centre of the battlefield. She knocked away a group of alien soldiers and casually greeted Stephen Strange.
Doctor Strange blinked, "Well, lady, you handle that whip much better than I do."
