Chapter 431 There is no such thing as escape in the dictionary (First update!)

"You are not willing to accept defeat like this."

"I thought that if half of the lives were destroyed, the other half would prosper."

“But you… prove to me that it’s impossible.”

"Even if only one person is still attached to his past, his future will never be acknowledged or accepted."

“Stubborn resistance is inevitable!”

"For this, I want to thank you."

"I will use the Infinity Stones you helped me find to create a new universe where life has no resentment for what it has lost, only gratitude for what it has given..."

Thanos, sitting alone on the rock, watched the original Avengers trio approach him. As he spoke, he stood up, put on his helmet, and then pulled out a double-edged sword made of Uru gold that resembled a propeller. He then looked at the group again.

"A universe full of gratitude."

"A universe filled with blood."

"They'll never know, because you won't live to see it."

Thanos and Captain America stared at each other.

Then--

The sparks of battle were ignited instantly.

Thor roared, his eyes and body brimming with the power of thunder, and leaped into the air, wielding his Stormbreaker.

Iron Man was also instantly airborne.

Captain America braked instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were engaged in battle with Thanos.

This is the situation.

This reminded Hawke of a word when he broke through the atmosphere.

Three heroes fight against Lu Bu!
However, Hawke did not go to the battlefield after breaking through the atmosphere. Instead, he reappeared at the door of 521A Palm Street the next second after entering the atmosphere.

Anya, the younger sister, was already dressed in leather, with a tactical belt full of weapons tied around her waist.

Anya, who was just about to run to the Avengers base to lend a hand, bumped right into Hawke.

Hawke looked at his fully armed sister and raised an eyebrow.

Anya also sprang into action, and with a snap, she skillfully unbuckled her tactical belt and hid it behind her back. When she saw Hawke appear, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"elder brother!"

"You're not allowed to go."

Hawke met Anya's smile, ignoring his sister's little trick of hiding things, and with a slight smile, directly shut down any words Anya might say next.

Anya's smile froze.

"Why? Captain America and his team brought back the missing half of the population."

"Yes."

Hawke glanced out of the corner of his eye at the people emerging from the houses on Palm Street, their expressions somewhat bewildered, and nodded to Anya: "They succeeded, and then what?"

Anya pointed to Thanos's massive spaceship, "Sanctuary II," hovering high above New York City: "We should go and help them."

Hawke glanced at Anya thoughtfully, then chuckled, "You, go help? With your small frame, you'd be kneeling even if a Chitauri leader came along."

Anya rolled her eyes.

"I was once a Hydra agent, the elite kind."

"Then was then, and the present is now."

Hawke said calmly, "This battlefield is not for you. Go back."

Anya kept a straight face.

"I need to go help."

"what?"

“I said I wanted to go help.”

"hehe."

Hawke smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, a strong wind howled.

Hawke turned his head to look.

into the eye.

Bruce Hulk Banner, who had been brought into the battlefield, dragged a group of Chitauri soldiers along with him, and they hurtled towards their doorstep like cannonballs.

Anya's eyes narrowed as she watched the Chitauri meteor hurtling towards her at incredible speed.

"grass!"

"Again!"

As Hawke watched the Zeta Swiss soldiers hurtling towards him and his sister Anya like meteors, the image of himself kneeling helplessly beside his sister's corpse in 2008 flashed through his mind. In that instant, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he unleashed two Phoenix Rays.

boom!
The Chitauri meteor, hurtling towards them, exploded in the sky above the Palm Street neighborhood.

Hawke snapped out of his daze and looked at his sister Anya, who had her mouth agape: "See, the battlefield has no eyes. Okay, let's go home."

When Anya came to her senses, she had already been taken home by Hokla.

There was a click.

Anya watched as Hawke entered the room and immediately locked the door.

"I may choose not to help them, but you can help them."

"and then?"

Hawke locked the door and walked toward the bar in the room, where he found a bottle of bourbon and a glass, seemingly intending to have a drink.

Anya jogged over to the bar.

Will you help them?

Want to hear the truth?

Hawke closed the bottle and looked at his sister, who was gazing at him expectantly.

Anya nodded without hesitation.

"of course."

"I'm thinking about it."

Hawke spoke the truth.

From a certain perspective, Thanos in this universe is the murderer who killed him.

Hawke felt a throbbing pain in his forehead every time he recalled the image of Thanos grabbing his neck and prying the Mind Stone out of his forehead. But…

Just as he broke through the atmosphere to avenge "himself," he caught a covetous gaze.

obviously.

The moment he was exposed to this universe, the god Grihas, whom he had banished from his own universe to this one to return home and call his parents, also became aware of his presence.

Hawke's seven senses swept across the entire galaxy, but he found no trace of the god Grimus.

He is currently in the public eye.

The god Grimus was in the shadows.

In a word.

Hawke never fights a battle unprepared.

He didn't hide it from his sister, but after he explained his considerations, Anya's expression changed visibly.

From initially looking at his brother with omnipotent admiration, to becoming suspicious of his explanations, it eventually transformed into a gaze that seemed to see through everything.

Hawke noticed the change in Anya's gaze and a thought struck him.

"what happened?"

"elder brother."

"Ah."

“You didn’t consider this because of that, at least not because of this so-called god Grius.”

"Then tell me, what are my reasons for considering this?"

"Wanda!"

"..."

Hawke paused slightly as he drank.

Anya, with her arms crossed and resting on the bar, spoke with a confident tone as she looked at Hawke, who had paused in his drinking: "You're thinking about what you should say if you go there and see Wanda, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hawke exchanged a glance with Anya, who was looking at him, then chuckled, put his wine glass aside, pulled out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and looked at his sister Anya with a faint smile: "When I was little, I wished I had two sisters, one gentle and beautiful, and one smart and clever. It's wonderful that my dream has come true."

Anya smiled and shrugged.

"Then I must be the smart and quick-witted one."

"Correct."

Hawke nodded: "Now that you've guessed it, my clever little sister, give me some advice."

Anya's expression was serious.

"If it were me, I would go."

"Then what……"

"What then?"

Anya blinked, looking at Hawke with some confusion: "What does Hawke's situation in this universe have to do with you from the multiverse?"

Hawke was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Anya and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Anya laughed even harder.

next second.

Just as she was about to ask her brother for a reward,

Bang!
Anya let out a yelp, instinctively covering her forehead with both hands, looking at her brother who had given her a flick on the forehead with a tearful expression.

"Hey, I asked you to give me advice."

"Yes, I'm happy that you can give me advice, but I don't like the advice you gave me."

"why."

"Because in your brother's dictionary, there are all kinds of words, but there is no such word as 'escape'."

Hawke downed the last bit of bourbon in the glass beside him, then straightened his cuffs. After speaking, he looked at Anya and said, "Stay at home, clean the house, and wait for me to come back. I'm still alive, and it's not time for my sister to suffer the consequences yet."

Say it.

Hawke looked up.

boom!
Anya subconsciously closed her eyes, listening to the clanging sounds around her. When she opened her eyes, she looked at the bar behind her, which looked like it had been swept by a tornado. She opened her mouth, feeling like she wanted to cry, but also like she wanted to laugh.

Because she was certain that her brother was doing it on purpose, deliberately giving her things to do to prevent her from going over there to help out.

"wrong."

"My brother probably didn't want me to see him meeting Wanda."

Anya's thoughts raced, then her eyes lit up, and with a whoosh, she turned and ran upstairs. Once in the attic, she found a military crate that had been there for who knows how long, kicked it open, and took out a military-grade drone.

at the same time.

At the Avengers base, which has been turned into a battlefield, the fighting is at a stalemate.

Thanos, who initially caught the Avengers off guard, failed to seize the initiative. With the resurrected Thanos and the support of the superheroes who joined the battle with the help of Doctor Strange's multi-faceted portals and the Wakanda soldiers, the battle did not end but instead intensified.

Thanos looked at the overwhelming influx of superheroes and Wakanda soldiers, sneered, and gripped his double-edged sword, preparing to continue his attack.

next second.

boom!
The crimson chaotic power suddenly appeared, followed by Wanda's resurrection and return in a berserk state.

Wanda's eyes were filled with crimson chaotic power as she stared at Thanos, who was fully armed.

"You took away everything I loved!"

"who are you?"

Thanos sensed the raging energy within Wanda, then looked at her descending from the sky and subconsciously uttered a word.

God is my witness.

He's Thanos from 2012, before he sent the Chitauri to attack Earth with Loki.

And in the future he saw, the scene of Thanos being beheaded, Wanda never appeared.

and so……

Thanos looked at Wanda, who was approaching menacingly, as if he had killed her husband, and couldn't help but say something.

"I have absolutely no idea who you are."
