Thanos looked at the cosmic cube in his hand.
This was the cosmic cube, considered the most powerful treasure in the universe, even surpassing the combined power of the Infinity Stones in the Infinity Gauntlet.
Unfortunately, this cosmic cube was not complete. The one in Thanos' hand had been painstakingly restored through his advanced technology.
The last time the Black Order used the power of the Infinity Stones, it was derived from the study of the cosmic cube. Otherwise, fake Infinity Stones would not have been able to unleash such immense power.
In addition, during a previous encounter with the Collector, Thanos obtained a fragment of the cosmic cube.
Finally, aside from using it for research, he could also use a portion of its power.
Knowing Wang Yang's strength in advance, Thanos had planned to use this treasure to kill him. However, the attempt had failed.
Boom! The cosmic cube in Thanos' hand directly shattered, transforming into a powerful force that merged into Thanos' body.
At this moment, the wounds on Thanos' body visibly healed, and even his armor seemed to have recovered.
His aura also experienced a significant boost, and Wang Yang watched silently.
Thanos truly lived up to his reputation.
Having lived for countless ages, he had undoubtedly accumulated many valuable items.
However, Wang Yang couldn't let Thanos continue unchecked.
With a purple sword in hand, Wang Yang thrust it towards Thanos.
Even in the void, a crack appeared at this moment, seemingly unable to withstand the power of Wang Yang's sword.
As the changes unfolded, Thanos remained unfazed, allowing Wang Yang's sword to fall upon him with a dull thud.
Bang!
The sword struck him, but it seemed as if it had landed on refined iron.
"Did you think you could still harm me under the influence of the cosmic cube?" Thanos looked at Wang Yang, speaking in an eerily calm tone.
Wang Yang took a step back, a trace of seriousness on his face.
Moments ago, he could still suppress Thanos, but now, with Thanos absorbing the fragments of the cosmic cube, his power underwent a tremendous transformation.
Even his flesh seemed impervious to harm.
Wang Yang retreated several steps, observing Thanos.
Thanos, wielding dual-bladed swords, charged towards Wang Yang while creating sharp vortexes with each swing, scattering in all directions.
"Surrender, hand over the Infinity Stones on you, and I might spare you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Thanos attacked while uttering cold words.
Wang Yang tried to regain the initiative but found himself unable to stop Thanos.
His weapons couldn't parry Thanos' attacks.
"It's useless. You have no idea how powerful the cosmic cube is!" Thanos coldly declared. The cosmic cube once represented an entire universe, embodying immense strength.
Boom! Wang Yang took a step back, slamming the ground with a powerful magical force. Crimson chains swept out from the ground, heading straight for Thanos.
In a thunderous roar, countless crimson chains with terrifying force entwined towards Thanos.
However, as they approached, Thanos effortlessly blocked them with his dual-bladed swords.
If it weren't for him having absorbed the cosmic cube's fragments, these attacks might have posed a significant threat.
The dual-bladed swords had even begun tearing through the approaching crimson chains.
Just as Thanos was about to say something, he suddenly saw thunderbolts appearing on Wang Yang's hand.
"Bifrost Lightning!"
In an instant, lightning danced across the ground, heading straight for Thanos.
Initially, Thanos didn't feel much. However, as he sensed the formidable aura, he couldn't help but feel a sense of impending danger.
But before he could react, the Bifrost Lightning had already descended.
Though Thanos managed to step back, the full force of the Bifrost Lightning had not yet landed. Nevertheless, he felt a terrifying power approaching.
Boom! Thanos was sent flying, blood spurting from his mouth.
Within a hundred meters, thousands of Outriders and Chitauri disintegrated into dust under the explosion and lightning.
However, seeing Thanos merely lying on the ground, everyone, including Wang Yang, couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, Wang Yang understood that the Marvel universe contained many things that defied logic.
For example, Thanos holding the cosmic cube was an extremely powerful artifact.
Under the influence of this artifact, a Bifrost Lightning that almost shook the entire planet only made Thanos fly and spit out blood, nothing more.
Moreover, even while lying down, Wang Yang could see that the wounds on Thanos' body were rapidly healing.
"He's quite challenging to deal with!" Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
A few nearby Avengers heard Wang Yang's words and couldn't help but wear bitter smiles.
Although Wang Yang didn't immediately kill Thanos, the move he displayed almost caused the planet to disintegrate. Even if it didn't lead to the planet's disintegration, it certainly shook the entire planet. How terrifying was that?
Now Wang Yang still thought Thanos was not easy to deal with?
Although Thanos hadn't been immediately taken down, he was still being pressed and beaten.
If this move were used against them, they might not be able to withstand it.
The members of the Avengers, despite being superheroes, felt a peculiar illusion when facing Wang Yang. It seemed as if they were just slightly more powerful ordinary people.
This Wang Yang was the true superhero, making it challenging for them to resist.
Of course, Wang Yang was unaware of the thoughts of the Avengers.
His gaze remained on Thanos. The mighty power of the Bifrost Lightning seemed disappointing as it failed to cause significant damage, and Thanos' injuries were already starting to heal in a short amount of time.
Not only that, the Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos' left hand emitted light, indicating an enhancement of his power.
Thanos' strength, even in the eyes of Wang Yang, was shocking. Though Thanos pursued his goals ruthlessly, using the power of the Infinity Stones without regard for consequences, wasn't he afraid of paying a price?
At this moment, Thanos' power continued to grow.
Thanos' voice echoed.
"No one can stop me from bringing balance to the universe!"
"Now, I have boundless power. Since you won't give me the Infinity Stones, today is your death day!"
Thanos slowly stood up, his gaze fixed firmly on Wang Yang.
The power of the Infinity Stones radiated within him.
In the sky, which had been dim all along, seemed to dissipate at this moment.
Everyone present felt a palpable pressure.
The power emanating from Thanos grew stronger and stronger, creating a terrifying oppressive force.
Countless faces turned somber, including the Asgardian army.
Not to mention Earth's inhabitants, the magicians of Kamar-Taj, the Ravagers, and others.
The only one in the crowd who seemed unaffected was probably Wang Yang.
He looked up at Thanos.
"Indeed, you've become incredibly powerful!"
Wang Yang sighed.
"Ding, activate the 'The Harder You Fall, the Stronger You Rise' talent!"
Wang Yang could feel that his magical talent was becoming even more powerful.
Apparently, the system had also detected Thanos' increased strength at this moment.
Buzz! With a buzzing sound, the holy sword Víðópnir, conjured in Wang Yang's right hand, emitted an incomparably terrifying power.
It seemed eager to battle powerful opponents.
Boom! At this moment, Thanos directly charged forward, his dual-bladed swords slashing down.
With a resounding roar, Wang Yang blocked Thanos' strike with a single sword.
In this moment, Wang Yang successfully withstood Thanos' attack.
At such close range, Wang Yang also noticed that Thanos' longsword, which had distorted earlier, had miraculously returned to its normal state.
Thanos was somewhat surprised. It seemed he hadn't expected Wang Yang to withstand his attack, making him somewhat incredulous.
Just a moment ago, it seemed that Wang Yang couldn't resist him, but now he could.
Was there some change in him?
But there clearly wasn't.
Thanos took a step back, but his face remained confident. With the combined influence of the cosmic cube and the power of the Infinity Stones, his strength had reached an incredible level.
"Magician, I have to admit your strength is formidable. However, you can never understand the power of the cosmic cube!"
"You can never truly wield the power of the Infinity Stones. Only my body can fully utilize the power of the Infinity Stones!"
Thanos raised his left hand and delivered a powerful punch!
A terrifying energy swept out, heading straight for Wang Yang.
Feeling the power, Wang Yang remained unchanged. He simply lifted his sword, then slashed it down.
Swish!
In an instant, the terrifying energy was directly cleaved apart.
The explosive force on both sides caused two huge craters in the ground, fortunately without affecting anyone nearby.
"Not bad. The power of the Infinity Stones you're using is indeed more formidable than mine. However, that's all it is!"
Wang Yang nodded, his expression quite calm.
However, those who witnessed this scene nearby couldn't help but have complex expressions, feeling somewhat depressed.
The tremendous power displayed just now was merely considered "that's all" in Wang Yang's eyes?
