Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Proxima Midnight suddenly hurled the spear in his hand.

Thanos reached out and caught the weapon thrown by his subordinate. With a stretching sound, the spear, which had been like a short stick in his hand, quickly extended to fit his height.

He kicked the end of the spear, roared, and swung it horizontally at Li Xia's thrusting spear blade as if hitting a baseball.

"bite----!"

An even stronger airflow than before erupted from the point of impact, whipping up dust from the ground and scattering it in all directions like a storm. Even the thick smoke and flames floating in the sky above the battlefield were swept away by this terrifying airflow, revealing the gray sky.

This is not only the power of the two individuals themselves, but also the superposition of the unique power contained within the two weapons.

Thanos's gaze fell on the intact spear, his eyes paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems... your spear isn't as sharp as it appeared before."

He looked at Li Xia, who had been knocked back several meters by his shot, and his earlier dazed state from being hit at the start of the game suddenly relaxed in a strange way.

"I guess... your spear only has that cutting effect when it's aimed at certain things."

Thanos twirled his spear, taking slow, deliberate steps with an unusually composed demeanor; he had already seen through the opponent's true strength.

"Is it metal? As long as it's not metal, it won't be countered by your spear? Great idea, very unique weapon."

The spear of Dark Proxima Centauri was made of crystals and some special biomass material. His original intention was simply to use this weapon to block Li Xia's offensive.

They didn't care whether the spear was damaged or not.

But it was this very test that allowed Thanos to discover the secret.

"Your strength is not bad, but it's still not as good as that big green guy from before. You may have some skills, but you're still just a mortal."

Thanos suddenly reached out and removed his armor. His armor had extremely strong defensive capabilities, but it was entirely made of metal.

Since the spears on the other side have the ability to suppress metal, it doesn't matter whether you have armor or not.

Without the constraints of his armor, his agility would actually increase significantly.

"If you are willing to hand over the gem, I can grant you special mercy and promise you survival in the future world."

This is the greatest reward for you...

He then raised his spear and pointed it at Li Xia:

"Give me your answer, and life or death is up to you."

Li Xia also raised his spear and waved it at Thanos:

"Come!"

"act recklessly!"

Thanos's face darkened, and he raised his spear to parry Li Xia's thrusting blade.

But the next second, the once-clear blade suddenly blurred, and to Thanos's incredulous gaze, it split in two, then in four...

As if it had instantly gained the ability to create clones, countless silver flowers bloomed in front of it.

Space Stone?

No, this is not the power of the gem!

Without any hesitation, he clenched the Infinity Gauntlet into a fist again, and the Reality Stone rippled with a red light, instantly forming a protective shield in front of him.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

The silver flowers crashed against the protective shield, shattering into a sky full of sparks.

The shield shattered and regenerated time and time again; the power of the gems was inexhaustible, but Thanos was utterly astonished.

He found himself afraid to remove the shield, as if the spear could pierce his throat at any moment if he did.

No, the use of gems comes at a price; if this continues...

A ruthless glint flashed in Thanos's eyes. He suddenly leaped back a step and deactivated the protective shield.

The spear followed him like a shadow, without even pausing for a moment, thrusting towards his throat.

"ah---!"

Thanos roared, ignoring the spear in front of him and focusing all his attention on the gauntlet.

"Buzz!"

"Pfft-"

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously. Thanos grunted and took advantage of the moment when the barrier shattered to move his body away, ultimately causing the spear that was originally aimed at his throat to deflect slightly.

He gripped the spear that had pierced his shoulder, and the Power Gem emitted a purple glow.

Li Xia felt the Night Silence in his hand was frighteningly hot, but then a blinding electric light suddenly appeared on the gun.

The lightning flashed with a sharp crackling sound, followed by a deep rumble of thunder in the sky.

The previously gray sky suddenly became filled with countless swirling clouds, the dark clouds hanging low, creating an unusually oppressive atmosphere.

A strange light flashed in Li Xia's eyes. He knew what Thanos wanted to do: he wanted to destroy Nightfall directly!

However, as the God-Slaying Spear, Night Silence did not directly end the Old Gods, but it did pierce through the Old Gods' incarnations when they were fully deploying their barriers.

It is imbued with divine blood, and moreover, it is the vessel of Li Xia's soul, connected to Li Xia's destiny.

Trying to destroy it with rules is no less difficult than dismissing a public official without following proper procedures.

It would be more effective to destroy it by physical means (like killing it with a knife).

Thanos was far more astonished than Li Xia. He couldn't understand how a mere weapon could be so powerful that even the Power Stone couldn't destroy it.

Even in the clash of forces, it could cause huge changes in the celestial phenomena, as if this spear was a higher existence than the gemstone.

But how is that possible?

The Infinity Stones are the embodiment of the rules of this universe. What kind of thing can transcend the Stones?

As the gemstone trembled more and more violently, waves of weakness washed over him.

Thanos roared, the Reality Stone glowed red, and Nightfall suddenly vanished.

A notification suddenly appeared before Li Xia's eyes:

[Executioner, your weapon, Nightfall, has been banished to another dimension.]

[Under investigation.......]

This exile was achieved by the Reality Stone warping reality, and thus possesses strong authority.

You have been deemed to have lost your weapon, which will be automatically retrieved during the world settlement.

So... Thanos went through all that trouble just to take down my spear?

Li Xia paused for a moment, watching Thanos press the wound on his shoulder, and felt that this scene was familiar.

Both involve exchanging injuries for weapons...

"it's over!"

Aowu casually tossed his snacks aside, while the other two brothers quickly tidied up the small stools and recliners.

"Let's go and meet up with Stark and the others."

"Wait, what do you mean it's over? Didn't you see? Xia is already in danger!"

Thor, brimming with confidence and ready to take on Thanos one-on-one with his axe, was stopped by the Ancient One. Standing to the side, he anxiously pointed at Li Xia:

"No, I have to go save him!"

"Crisis? Yes, Thanos is indeed in crisis."

With a flick of its paw, the Ancient One and Thor found themselves floating lightly in the air.

"If he continues to use gems for defense like before, the boss really doesn't have any good solutions."

After all, the Infinity Stones are the rules of this universe, and even if the leader could break these rules, it would be a difficult task.

But Thanos had no choice but to fight the boss...

Awoo shook his head:

"Then he'll die very soon."

Gu Yi's gaze swept across the three little ones' faces, and she found that their composure was not feigned, but rather a complete relaxation.

As if she had already foreseen the ending, she immediately thought of a certain possibility:

"So...you mean..."

That's exactly what I mean.

Awoo manipulated gravity, flying towards the battlefield below, its dragon eyes filled with extreme confidence:

"The boss without weapons...is even stronger!"

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

Do you still have anything to rely on?

Thanos pressed his hand against his wound, and the Reality Stone flashed red. When he removed his hand, the wound had disappeared.

He was breathing heavily, the frequent use of gems had taken a toll on his health.

"You should have pierced my head... but unfortunately, you didn't have the chance..."

Li Xia silently clenched his fists, watching Thanos, who had already assumed a fighting stance and was charging towards him.

His right fist was enveloped in the purple light of the power gem; before the fist even landed, the ground had already been dented.

"Buzz!"

A blinding white light suddenly appeared across the battlefield, as if a god had drawn a freehand stroke in front of him, dipped in the midday sun.

It was then coated with the cool, midnight moonlight, adding a touch of silvery white.

The entire world seemed to darken for a moment as a huge arc detached itself from Li Xia's front and hurtled towards the sky.

To everyone's astonishment, the simple little axe in his hand deftly twirled around his finger and disappeared.

He glanced at Thanos' headless corpse, flicked his toe, and kicked the Infinity Gauntlet out of Thanos's hand, catching it steadily.

He turned and walked towards the crowd.

The white light behind them continued to fly towards the sky, passing through the spaceship that stretched across the horizon without any hesitation.

Wherever the white light passed, the spaceship emitted a series of explosions, crashing down amidst flames and black smoke.

A dim, yellowish sky, a crashing spaceship, flames and black smoke...

Like a grand fireworks display, it bloomed behind Li Xia, creating a powerful visual impact.

The Avengers stood frozen in place, completely stunned. They never expected that the battle they thought would be a fight to the death would end so quickly.

So unexpected...

"Boss!"

The three little ones ran over:

"I thought I was going to beat him to death with my fists."

Awoo smacked his lips, completely unexpected that the boss would choose to kill Thanos with an axe.

"It's a pain, and his fighting skills aren't anything special."

Li Xia rubbed the three little ones' heads:

"Thanos's body is so strong that he can overwhelm almost all his opponents in battle with just his physical strength. His fighting skills are okay, but they are at most below the level of a master."

The idea that combat enhances experience is a false premise. In reality, only evenly matched battles, where the fight constantly teeters on the brink of life and death, will lead to continuous improvement in combat skills.

Dominating games only provides a lot of experience in stomping noobs; playing too many games will make you unable to compete in high-level matches.

Thor glanced at the small axe beside Li Xia, then at his own large axe, and felt that the King's Blade Stormbreaker he had just acquired seemed rather ordinary.

Li Xia walked straight up to Doctor Strange, who was both surprised and delighted by the sudden appearance of the Ancient One, who had always thought she was dead.

"Doctor, may I borrow the Time Stone for a moment?"

Doctor Strange hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Ancient One and saw her nod at him. He then heard Stark slowly approaching.

“Give it to him, Strange…”
