Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

When the durability is not lower than 2, the nanobots of the Infinity Bracelet will slowly self-repair the bracelet, restoring one point of durability every 7 days.

[Description: A bracelet created by Starkley that can briefly unleash the power of gems.]

With it, you can feel like a god.

Of course, this only applies to this world.

Li Xia suddenly clenched his outstretched fingers into a fist, and the space gem on his bracelet flashed brightly, opening a blue-gray portal directly in front of him. He stepped into it and found himself inside the Sanctuary.

Gu Yi was holding the book she had given her, reading it intently.

Upon seeing Li Xia arrive, she closed her book and said, "It looks like everything went smoothly."

The blue-gray portal slowly dissipated. Using gems was indeed a burden, but for me, it was no different from scratching an itch.

It's likely that only by collecting all six Infinity Stones can one feel the pressure.

Li Xia walked towards the reverse time chamber: "It went smoothly."

Oh, by the way, there are a few things I need your help with.

He stopped and added:

"When I come out again, it will be time for me to leave this world."

"Yes, I'll remember that."

The door closed, and the time-manipulation spell on the wall began to rotate again, awaiting its next activation.

...................

Several years later...

In the cold, desolate universe, a huge spaceship glides slowly, its surface riddled with holes.

A mechanical broadcast echoed through the cabin: "This is an Asgardian refugee ship. We are under attack..."

The hatch twisted and deformed under the impact, and the corpses of Asgardians were scattered everywhere, with broken spears and shield fragments stuck diagonally in the pool of blood.

Thanos strode heavily to the center of the cabin, his dark gold armor still stained with undried blood.

His subordinate, Ebony Maw, was still preaching Thanos's theory about the balance of the universe:

"Whether you live or die... you are all contributing to the balance of the universe. You will forever be the subjects of the great Emperor Thanos..."

Thanos stood up, the Power Stone on his left Infinity Gauntlet gleaming with a dark purple light. Thor was held in his hand, seemingly devoid of any strength to struggle.

“Loki..…”

Thanos said in a low voice, his gaze passing over Thor and landing on the figure leaning against the broken control panel not far away.

Loki suppressed his fear: "Asgard has been destroyed by Hela, Asgard has collapsed, and the Tesseract has long since sunk into space along with the ruins."

You've come to the wrong place.

"is it?"

Thanos tightened his grip on Thor's hair, his knuckles turning white, and the purple light of the Power Stone slowly spread down his arm.

Thor tensed instantly, letting out a painful scream.

“You know what I want. The Space Stone is indeed not in Asgard, but the Reality Stone is still here.”

Thanos lifted Thor up:

"Hand over the Reality Stone!"

...................

The spell in the room shimmered with a faint green light.

Li Xia sat on the sofa, her legs propped up on a soft footstool, engrossed in reading the book in her hands.

This book about the "Void Races" is similar to a popular science book. Although some of the content is outdated and many races are missing due to the vastness of the Void, it is still a qualified encyclopedia.

He was particularly interested in the content about the "Old Gods".

He put down the book, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

It turns out that the Old Gods were powerful deities who existed before the Great Cataclysm. They survived the change of eras, but as a result, they went mad, lost their reason, and became monsters.

Furthermore, the book states that the Old Gods' sucking of the world is not because they need to live off it, but rather it is more of an instinct.

The reason for this instinct remains a mystery.

However, the Great Cataclysm of the Void doesn't seem to be a secret; it's something all races in the Void know about, and no one is worried about it.

It should be said that most people are not worried about this. Just like ordinary people in the real world, they know that the lifespan of the sun is limited and that the universe will eventually perish due to the increase of entropy, but who cares about this?

The Great Cataclysm of the Void is the same for most people; it's too far away, so far away that there's no need to worry about it.

Li Xia put aside the thoughts that had been flashing through her mind and prepared to read the next chapter.

Just then, a howling sound came from the team channel:

"Boss, time's up!"

Li Xia put down the book, and the time-traveling magic around him gradually stopped.

Finally...it's here.

Chapter 16 Thanos at His Peak

"Buzz!"

The time-manipulation spell on the wall gradually faded, turning gray, like sand in the wind turning to ashes and falling away.

Li Xia pushed open the door, only to find that the outside world was no longer the familiar Holy Land, but rather atop a high mountain.

"You're out?" came the voice of the Ancient One beside me.

Li Xia turned her head to look at Gu Yi, whose hair had grown to be about half-length, and the clothes she wore that resembled those of a normal urban woman.

He raised an eyebrow: "It seems you've chosen a different way of life."

Gu Yi smiled, but his aloof demeanor remained unchanged.

"As you can see, even though I was about to leave, I still followed the proper course of events and handed over the Time Stone and the position of Sorcerer Supreme to Strange."

In a sense, this can be considered a completion of a beginning... I have fulfilled the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by this ephemeral destiny.

Li Xia remained silent, knowing that Gu Yi was referring to the story from the original plot.

"So now you need to finish the last question on your assignment."

"That's right, we can leave after that."

Li Xia pulled herself out of that pointless emotion and began contacting the three boys:

"How is the situation?"

A excited shout came from the team channel: "Boss, you're awesome! It really happened!"

This time, it wasn't his men who came, but the entire Thanos army!

The two sides are currently in a standoff!

Upon hearing this, Li Xia also smiled. He seemed to have put little effort into the entire Avengers storyline, only intervening at crucial moments, but in reality, every choice he made was the result of careful consideration.

Incorporating elements like the Space Stone and the Mind Stone into the bracelet is a way to gradually guide events onto a desired path.

According to the original storyline, Thor took the Space Stone back to Asgard and stored it in the palace.

In the storyline of Thor: The Dark World, the Dark Aether erupted, and after Thor defeated the Dark Elves, he brought the Reality Stone back to Asgard.

However, Thor felt that it was not a good thing for both Infinity Stones to remain in Asgard at the same time, so he chose to give the Reality Stone to a collector in the universe.

This is also the catalyst for the entire plot of Avengers: Infinity War.

Thanos first destroyed Xandar and obtained the Power Stone, then intercepted a refugee ship from Asgard and took the Space Stone from Thor.

After obtaining the Space Stone, Thanos gained immense mobility thanks to the Infinity Gauntlet.

This is something Li Xia doesn't want to see. What if the other side runs away when they can't win?

It was only after Thanos obtained the Space Stone that he chose to split his forces into two groups, relying on his superior mobility: sending his subordinates to Earth to retrieve the Time Stone and the Mind Stone, while he himself went to the Collector of the Universe to obtain the Reality Stone.

This also resulted in the Earth's defense forces being divided into two groups.

Spider-Man, Stark, and Doctor Strange travel to Titan, Thanos's former home planet, where they reunite with half of the Guardians of the Galaxy and battle Thanos.

The remaining Avengers members then relied on Wakanda to resist.

Thor, one of the main combatants, along with Rocket Raccoon and Groot, travels to the dwarf kingdom of Nidavia in search of weapons.

It was precisely because of this dispersion that Thanos was able to defeat them one by one, missing a golden opportunity, which led to the plot of "Avengers: Endgame".

Li Xia didn't have time to wait another five years to travel to "Avengers: Endgame," there was no need for it, so he made his move at several key junctures earlier in the story.

First, he kept the Space Stone in his own possession, leaving Asgard with only the Reality Stone.

He did not interfere with Thor's storyline afterward, so the Thor: Ragnarok storyline proceeded normally, and they eventually encountered Thanos.

This resulted in Thanos possessing both the Power Stone and the Reality Stone: one a source of energy, the other a powerful artifact capable of altering reality.

Thanos did not sacrifice Carola, but instead used the combined power of the Power Stone and Reality Stone to force the Mind Stone to appear.

Thus, he possessed three Infinity Stones, making him the strongest Thanos predicted by Li Xia.

To get high rewards, you have to fight the strongest!

As expected by Li Xia, Thanos, who sensed that the remaining three Infinity Stones were all on Earth, chose to lead all his troops to Earth.

"Holy crap, they've already started fighting! Thanos is ruthless and doesn't talk much, he's incredibly strong."

The howling sound carried an excited anticipation of the spectacle:

"Boss, Stark has been preparing for war like a madman for the past year or two."

He built a massive mechanical army and entrusted it to Vision as commander.

There's something going on in Wakanda; I wonder how they developed this kind of groundbreaking technology?

Li Xia nodded: "Okay, I'll be right there."

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the Ancient One: "Why don't you go over too?"

"Okay, do you need my help? I remember... having someone else help with the assignment will lower the grade?"

"No need to intervene, just watch..."

Li Xia paused, then added two words: "Very soon!"

...................

The vast plains outside Wakanda have been covered by the Black Tide.

Vanguards, Chitauri fighters, and giant combat beasts poured out of the mothership, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Inside the protective shield, besides the Avengers and Wakanda, Stark, who had been warned by Li Xia long ago, had already contacted all the forces he could reach.

Helicopters and fighter jets shuttled through the sky, drones were like dense dark clouds, and behind them, humans were nervously transporting ammunition to a line of artillery stretching for kilometers.

The tank's engine was idling, and its dark cannon muzzle was aimed at the distant horde of beasts.

The Wakanda soldiers stood in a square formation, holding vibranium spears, with Black Panther at the very front.

Captain America, Bucky, Falcon, Iron Man, War Machine...

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, Vision's mechanical army...

Without even a brief exchange, Thanos raised his blade and pointed it forward.

The battle began in an instant, with warships in the sky unleashing a barrage of fire on the human formations, while Wakanda's energy cannons retaliated in kind.

Flames occasionally exploded in mid-air, and shouts and blood bloomed together on this battlefield.

The bodies had barely been blown to pieces when the people behind them were already stepping over them and continuing their charge.

Vibranium spears pierced the alien creatures' carapaces, claws tore open soldiers' chests, energy beams clashed, explosions erupted one after another, and dirt mixed with blood splattered everywhere.

No one is backing out.
