Chapter 799
Wanda was turned into dust, and only after three years was she resurrected. Although the one who did it with the Infinity Gauntlet wasn’t Thanos, Thanos was the reason the Infinity Stone was gathered to begin with, so Thanos was also the reason why she was turned into dust! Without Thanos’s crazy idea to make half of the population in the universe disappear, probably the universe would still be in a peaceful ambience.
Now, with a concentrated effort of all the Avengers, everything was finally back in order, and countless lives have been saved, but Thanos now came to the future and threatened to destroy it! Wanda certainly couldn’t forgive Thanos for that!
Wanda would never allow Thanos to succeed, and because of that, her anger burst out like volcanoes! The Scarlet Witch was in a state of anger, and this was absolutely terrifying.
Wanda concentrated her Hex magic on both of her hands and stopped Thanos’ twin blade in the air. She then clutched her hand, and Thanos’ infamous Twin Blade was broken instantly! It was baffling as not even Dio’s Scythe and Thor’s Stormbreaker could even scratch the twin blade! The twin blade even broke Steve’s shield to pieces easily earlier!
It was Thanos’ trusted weapon that had already accompanied him through half of the universe in his quest for conquest! It had already destroyed so many weapons with ease in the past, but it couldn’t withstand Wanda’s magic power! Thanos was shocked by this scene as his heart broke, seeing his twin blades snapped in half like that.
However, it was only the beginning! Wanda condensed her power in her hand, lifted Thanos to the air, and clutched her hand like before. A burst of energy exploded with Thanos at the centre of it!
Thanos felt Wanda’s destructive power firsthand. The injuries that he tried to heal from his previous battle with Dio, Thor, and Steve have aggravated once again. Thanos even spilled blood from his mouth due to injuries to his internal organs. Thanos’s expression darkened as he knew that he was in trouble. He could feel Wanda’s power was trying to crush him. Honestly, Wanda succeeded in making Thanos panic!
Thanos didn’t know about Wanda’s ability as he couldn’t find it in Nebula’s memory. That was because when Nebula came to Earth to battle Thanos, Wanda was already retired from the battlefield, so Nebula wouldn’t know of her ability.
“Shoot everything!” Thanos ordered his battleships to shoot everything they had. It was a desperate move, but honestly, Thanos was in a desperate situation!
Ebony Maw hesitated for a moment, but he immediately did what was ordered. Although he knew that Thanos’ order would cause ma.s.sive loss to his own side, everything they had planned would be in vain anyway if Thanos was defeated, and he couldn’t let that happen.
So, every single ship Thanos owned immediately fired their weapons at the ground.
Dio noticed the sudden change in the air, and he was forced to leave the Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive behind to protect the entire battlefield!
“Wanda, get back!” Dio shouted.
But it was too late. Dio didn’t have enough time to reach Wanda and failed to protect Wanda from the bombardment.
Of course, Wanda created a shield to protect herself from the bombardment, but her shield wasn’t strong enough to block it all. As a result, she was blown away by the explosion. At that time, Dio grabbed Wanda’s body that was thrown in his direction, and he immediately flew to safety with Galaxy’s help.
The attack from Thanos’ battleships was indiscriminate, and thus it also hit their own men. Even the Leviathan was nearly wiped out by the attack! Still, it also hit quite a lot of the Avengers, although it wasn’t as bad as Thanos’ side.
The most troublesome thing that Thanos’s attack did was that it created more chaos on the battlefield. But Thanos successfully freed himself from Wanda’s clutch and got to safety. Meanwhile, most people were forced to take cover as they hid from the bombardment.
This included Peter Parker, who was forced to flee far with the Infinity Gauntlet in his possession. He couldn’t let the Infinity Gauntlet fall into the enemy, and that was why he was desperate to make sure the enemy couldn’t get to it!
On the other side, the bombardment blasted the nearby dam, and now the water from the dam spilled and would flood the entire battlefield! The dam was connected to a nearby lake, and the water wouldn’t stop until the entire battlefield was covered by water!
Fortunately, Stephen Strange stood nearby, and when the accident happened, he immediately made a decision and stopped the flow of water! He rolled the water back using some time magic and even rolled the dam itself to close the wall back to what it used to.
Nevertheless, without the time stone in his possession, the dam would break again once Stephen stopped his magic! But there was a way to fix the dam from really breaking! Fortunately for Stephen, the bombardment had already stopped. Otherwise, he would be a sitting duck here, preventing the dam from breaking!
The mages that Strange brought there also played a huge role in defending the battlefield as they created a huge shield together to block the bombardment from reaching the battlefield.
“Luci, is there a way to destroy the enemy’s battleship!” Dio shouted as he rode Galaxy with Wanda.
However, Luci didn’t have it easy either. Due to the heavy bombardment from the enemy, her huge body just turned into a sandbag. Her power was currently condensed to form a shield around her. Otherwise, she would receive a huge injury from the bombardment.
So, she couldn’t answer Dio’s inquiries as she wasn’t in the state to do so right now.
Dio clicked his tongue as he realised that Luci couldn’t do anything, but then he wondered again, did he really have to sacrifice himself right now? Should he really be doing all this himself?
Was it possible to remain optimistic with the current situation?
