The system handed me over to the state.

However, Bronya did not do that. It was simple: she had not yet obtained her goals, the Space Stone and the Time Stone, so it was not too late to make her move after she had achieved them.

The conversation with the contractor representative went very smoothly, even swiftly. The contractor representative expressed that he would work hard to cooperate with the Asian army to defend the front line.

On the front lines... Bronya wasn't particularly concerned about the front lines in Asia. Under her control, only a small number of Honkai Beasts entered the Asian region each day, while the majority of Honkai Beasts and assassins were confined to major cities in Europe and the Americas.

This is why the Asian front has not yet been breached.

After the meeting, Bronya arrived at the quantum laboratory. Although less than an hour had passed since the plan was finalized, Tony and Banner had already begun debugging the quantum shuttle and modifying Banner's various devices and protective suits.

Hei found something that interested her, told Bronya about it, and then left. Tony then approached Bronya and said, "You know what? That magician told me that we only had a sliver of hope against Thanos. Now Thanos is dead, and before our hope has even appeared, we're facing the end of the world."

"And you don't seem nervous at all."

Bronya shook her head. "Why be nervous? Even if the entire Earth perishes, I can leave this world through quantum travel. You cannot survive in the Sea of ​​Quanta, but I can."

Tony's eyes widened instantly. He looked at the case, then at Bronya, and pointed at her in surprise, saying, "This is what Banner was talking about, the gift of the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

"In a sense, that is true. I can abandon you and watch the world fall apart, or I can reach out to you and help you. It's that simple."

Tony rubbed his chin. "Sounds interesting... Well then, you'll be in charge of debugging the quantum traversal world data."

After saying that, Tony handed a task to Bronya. Bronya watched Tony's departing figure and thought to herself, "No wonder so many fans were sad when Iron Man died. In a sense, he was indeed a very charismatic person, and like Rogers, a central figure in the team."

However, this time his goal is the Infinity Stone. Once he gets it, he will kill the remaining contractors, and the faction war will end... After that, the system will reset this world to the moment before they arrived, and Iron Man will still have to walk the path of death.

"This is fate..."

After a soft sigh, Bronya turned her gaze to the instrument in her hand. She wished it would end soon; she was already missing her big, soft bed at home... and she wondered what kind of rewards she would get from this faction war. She hoped they would be good.

How about some... slightly useful technology, like special materials, or... space technology?

Chapter 94: Thanos X Tentacles

However, things changed the next day. On the Asian front, a commander from the United States, a survivor, made a wrong decision. He believed that the Collapsed territories in the Americas and Europe were in a state of decline, and therefore wanted to liberate either Europe or the Americas in one fell swoop.

With the encouragement of these capitalists who fled from the two continents, a massive mechanized army was quickly formed. However, the Celestial Empire in the Marvel world strongly opposed this dangerous act and hoped that everyone could calm down, because the Celestial Empire's satellites and radars had clearly scanned the specific situation in the Americas and Europe, and the number of Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers that the army could not easily resist.

They already have enough trouble dealing with the Honkai Beasts attacking the Asian defense line, and now they actually want to counterattack? Are you on too many drugs?!

However, the surviving commander from the United States did not think so. He believed that now was the best time to launch a counterattack. The initial outbreak of the collapse had ended, and now they only needed to launch a counterattack to reclaim their country!

However, the reality was very cruel. This mechanized legion, along with the remaining surviving US Navy, disappeared without a trace just as they were preparing to begin their landing.

Three days later, when the Asian defense division still had no news, it sent out a reconnaissance plane to investigate and discovered the destruction of the last US fleet.

All the fleets were destroyed on the coast. Most importantly, there was no sign of a landing at the edge of the coast. In other words, the mechanized forces assembled by the United States were wiped out on the coast before they could even land.

As a result, the survivors became even more panicked, and more and more cults and terrorist organizations began to spread ideas and concepts about the end of the world. The world began to descend into chaos, and the Avengers felt an increasing weight on their shoulders, so they began to speed up their actions.

.........

Today is the day they set off.

Bronya looked at the group standing on the shuttle platform. They then divided into groups and headed to their respective destinations. Through Bronya's efforts, she secured the right to go to the location of the Soul Gem. This time, she and Seele were in charge of the Soul Gem.

Although the discussion took place before Thanos, both of them were very clear about where they were going.

"Are you ready? I told you to get ready."

Bronya asked Seele in a private channel, as she was unable to open the gates of the Quanta Sea on her own, so she could only entrust this task to Seele.

Seele nodded. "This helmet is so stuffy..."

"Just bear with it, you can take it off after you enter the passage."

At this moment, Tony spoke up, "Alright! Let's prepare to set off, everyone. The fate of the world, and the fate of half the people who have disappeared, rests on our shoulders. Check the time, prepare... to depart!"

With Tony's command, the quantum portal opened immediately, and the next moment everyone shrank and entered the quantum portal above their heads.

After entering the quantum tunnel, Bronya and Seele's protective suits quickly disappeared, replaced by their combat suits. Bronya, as the navigator for this quantum traversal, easily led Black Seele through the quantum tunnel.

As fresh air filled their nostrils once more, they knew they had arrived at their destination, a strange place that resembled a desert yet also some kind of secret realm.

However, their gazes were not on their surroundings, but on a person in front of them.

It was much taller than the two of them, with a broad and strong body, purple skin all over its body, and a sad expression.

"It seems you've gotten what you wanted."

Bronya spoke up, and Thanos, who was still grieving, finally came to his senses and looked at the two women in surprise, "And who are you?"

Bronya walked up to Thanos, a thoughtful look on her face, and said, "Can I borrow your Infinity Stones for a moment? We can return them to you in the next second."

"Are you kidding me?"

Thanos opened his left hand, gazing at the Soul Stone shimmering with golden light within, and slowly placed it on his Infinity Gauntlet. As the golden gem was set into the gauntlet, golden patterns flashed across Thanos's body, and Thanos let out a long sigh, "This feeling... Have you come here to submit, or to seek death, humans?"

Bronya sighed softly. Although she knew it was impossible, what was with this inexplicable expectation?

"Do it, Seele."

At Bronya's command, a black and red swamp suddenly appeared beneath Thanos. Instantly, countless black and red tentacles surged out of the swamp, wrapped around Thanos's body, and began to pull him downwards. Thanos immediately used the Power Stone in an attempt to shatter these tentacles.

As the purple light suddenly exploded, some of the black and red tentacles did disappear, but a large number of tentacles still bound Thanos. Moreover, due to this attack, even more tentacles emerged, completely binding Thanos into a black and red dumpling.

Damn it! How could the Power Gem possibly fail to destroy these tentacles!

Immediately afterwards, Thanos tried to escape again using the Space Stone. A blue, mist-like portal formed behind Thanos, pulling him in like a magnet. However, the tentacles were even stronger, and after failing to escape, Thanos tried to twist the tentacles with the Reality Stone. But to his horror, he discovered that the Reality Stone was useless!

After the three gems were tested in turn, most of Thanos's body was completely pulled into the black and red swamp. Finally, with the purple light of the Power Stone constantly erupting, Thanos was completely pulled into the quantum space that the two had prepared in advance. The smooth operation surprised Bronya and Seele.

"Success?"

"Success... Yes, he's already in the quantum space we prepared..."

Bronya gently pinched her chin. Seele's tentacles seemed to have an unusually high resistance to the power of the Infinity Stones, even able to contend with the Space Stone's transfer of Thanos's power. The true power of the Power Stone had little effect on Seele's tentacles, and the Reality Stone... was completely ineffective.

"It's probably because your power doesn't belong to the Marvel universe. After all, it's power from another world. In the records of the Infinity Stones, there has never been such a power before. So at this moment, the power of the Infinity Stones seems very weak."

Bronya smiled and said that now she was much more confident in obtaining the four gems. If she could successfully obtain the Time Stone after returning, she could begin her operation.

However, before returning... Bronya needs to hurry and temporarily create an item that uses the power of the Infinity Stones, just like Thanos's Infinity Stones.

Bronya's gaze fell on the bunny waiting behind her. The bunny pointed at her, then tilted its head. Bronya smiled, "That's you! Bunny!"

Chapter 95: The Gem is in Hand

Where am I...?

After Thanos finally used the Power Stone to break free of the tentacles binding him, he found himself in a strange place.

The overall tone of the space is deep purple, with purple squares forming the ground beneath your feet. The surrounding space stretches to the horizon, with a chaotic purple mist as the background.

Thanos attempted to teleport using the Space Stone, but the Space Stone seemed to have lost its response, no longer answering Thanos's calls and commands. The Reality Stone was in the same state.

Thanos, who had never anticipated such a situation, looked around at his surroundings and felt a sense of fear. "No... this can't be! I haven't achieved my goal yet, there are still two Infinity Stones... I can't die here!"

Thanos began to move forward, trying to find an exit. The purple cube-shaped path rapidly took shape beneath his feet as he advanced. Thanos realized that he was not moving along the path, but rather the path was being laid out in the direction he was moving.

Just then, a purple aura suddenly appeared beneath Thanos's feet. Thanos took several steps back, and the next second, a huge, black-purple crab suddenly emerged from its previous position with an uppercut, shrinking into a ball in mid-air and crashing down on Thanos!

Thanos immediately raised his right hand, and a torrent of purple energy from the Power Stone surged forth. However, the crab seemed to have a good resistance to the power of the Power Stone. Thanos maintained the torrent of energy from the Power Stone for several tens of seconds before finally destroying the crab.

"What...what the hell is that?"

Thanos warily surveyed his surroundings. He had never seen these monsters before, nor had he ever seen anything like this space. Could it be Dormammu? No... Dormammu's Dead Space wasn't like this, and there wouldn't be these creatures there.

Were those two humans the ones who brought me here? They said they wanted to borrow my gem...

Thanos stretched out his right hand and looked at the gems on his gauntlet. The Space Stone and Reality Stone were dull and lifeless, the Soul Stone was still shining, and the Power Stone's light seemed to waver.

"What...what the hell is this?"

Thanos muttered something under his breath. Just then, he heard heavy footsteps in front of him. Thanos looked up abruptly and found a huge, knight-like, black and purple monster standing in front of him!

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed a torrent of purple energy, but the monster in front of him suddenly flashed with purple light and disappeared!

Thanos immediately looked around, and the next moment the monster suddenly appeared behind Thanos, its black and purple lance thrusting directly at Thanos!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Thanos shouted and used the power of the Power Stone again. However, this time, even though the two were locked in a stalemate for dozens of seconds, the huge monster did not disappear. In fact, it even seemed to suppress the power of the Power Stone. Thanos looked at the monster in front of him in horror. The next second, the light of the Power Stone suddenly disappeared, the power of the energy flow vanished instantly, and the monster's spear suddenly pierced Thanos's chest.

"what!"

With a shout from Thanos, the monster pulled out his spear and rode around his unique and bizarre 'horse', which circled a large hole in his chest, yet Thanos was still alive.

It seems like they are sizing it up, or perhaps observing it?

He was very curious, very curious about why a strange life form would appear in his territory, and why it could still survive with a big hole in its chest.

Just then, the knight suddenly raised his head, looking at the black and red swamp and the blue glow in front of him, as if he had seen something terrifying. He then turned around and left the quantum space.

After the black and red light and the blue glow flickered, Seele and Bronya appeared before Thanos.

"It seems you've already experienced the weakness of being powerless. How about it?"

"Who...who are you?"

If he still had his own weapons and armor, he could have tried to fight that monster. But having just obtained the Soul Stone, he had sacrificed his beloved daughter and was without any equipment... The power of the Infinity Stones had become useless in this world.

Thanos asked weakly. The little rabbit behind Bronya lifted Thanos's hand and then removed the four gems from the Infinity Gauntlet. Now, Thanos no longer had the ability to protect the gems he had painstakingly collected.

"Do you know why the Infinity Stones are useless here?"

"Why?"

"Because this is the quantum world, a realm independent of the real world you inhabit. Here, apart from the Mind Stone, Soul Stone, and Time Stone, the other three stones cannot exert their power at all."

"You just got the Soul Stone, but you don't know how to use it. You know... snap your fingers."

Bronya raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, the space turned pitch black, like the setting sun. She snapped her fingers again, and the space suddenly lit up. She snapped her fingers again, and the space went dark again. This happened several times in a row until Seele next to her shouted, "Enough! Stop playing around! You've watched that prank video so many times, can't you forget it?!"

Bronya coughed, a faint blush rising on her face as she looked somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry, I digress. Anyway... you know that snapping your fingers can wipe out half of all life in the universe, but you don't know that these gems have far more powerful uses."

For example, the Space Stone can be used to build portals to various parts of the universe, create teleportation rooms between planets that can be reached instantly without spaceships, and alter space, turning unstable spaces into stable ones where life can survive.

The power of the Power Gem can be a tool for destroying everything, a tool for protecting everything, or the best tool for opening mountains and digging the earth. Just like the saying goes, power has no evil; the difference lies in how and through which it is used.

As for the other four gems... Time is too mysterious for Bronya to touch casually. As for the Reality Gem, when the altered reality becomes too real, it creates an illusion, much like in VR games where you can't distinguish between your reality and your virtual world. However, the Reality Gem's alteration is more thorough and realistic, making it even more elusive.
