Chapter 704
Quicksilver, who was running at a super high speed, picked everyone up and evacuated them to safety! He couldn’t do much against Thanos, but at the very least, he wouldn’t let anyone die so easily! But Pietro felt a little bad that he couldn’t save the Tree Dude out of harm’s way.
He secretly dragged the Avengers away one by one from the scene as he knew that once Thanos caught wind of his presence, he wouldn’t be able to do so anymore. So, he couldn’t save anyone that Thanos had his eyes on until the last person, and so, it was really unfortunate for the Tree Dude!
Pietro knew that the Tree would have a name as it was technically their ally in this scenario, so Pietro promised himself to pay tribute to that Tree Dude later!
But suddenly, Pietro felt that his body was moving on its own, and he suddenly found himself back to the moment where he was about to save Tony from Thanos’ clutch. He was startled as he didn’t understand what was going on. Even so, he tried to grab Tony once again and moved away from Thanos, but he immediately noticed that Thanos was grinning from ear to ear!
“I got you now, you little speedy mouse!” Thanos said with a big smile on his face as he grabbed Pietro by the neck! A green light was emitted from his Infinity Gauntlet as it was a sign that Thanos was using the Time Stone!
“So, you also have that annoying Time Control ability!” Pietro said as he gritted his teeth to brace himself as he squirmed around, trying to break free. Pietro knew that he could be in trouble by trying to save everyone like this, but it was the only thing he could think of.
Looking back, Pietro was always the one that needed saving. The first time he was in big trouble, Wanda had to save him from the Stark’s company missile that went astray into their home. The second time he got into a life and death situation, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Dio, saved him from dying!
As for now, he shouldn’t be so greedy! There was no way luck would always be by his side! But he knew that he had nothing left to offer either. He already saw how Wanda was attached to Dio, so even if Pietro died, Wanda would have someone that she could lean on.
Wanda didn’t really need an idiot of a brother like Pietro anyway!
But he still had some issues with Dio taking Wanda as his girlfriend! What if Dio abused Wanda later as he knew that Wanda would have no one in this world? Furthermore, what if Dio couldn’t recover from his ailment earlier? What would happen to Wanda later?
Pietro really hoped that Dio would be able to revive him later!
“Pietro!” Steve shouted, with T’challa and Carol following him as they wanted to save Pietro from Thanos’ grasp. Still, they were too far away! Pietro evacuated them to safety, but now it turned out to work against his favour as they couldn’t get to Thanos fast enough!
Stephen, who was lying on the ground, tried to stop Thanos from killing Pietro by binding Thanos’ hand with his Magic Whip, but it didn’t work as Thanos swatted the whip away and twisted Pietro’s neck, killing him instantly before casting his body away like a piece of trash!
“No!” Steve was stopped on his track as he realised that he was too late! In fact, everyone froze upon looking at Pietro’s lifeless body as they didn’t know what to say about the entire situation. Everyone was furious by what happened to Pietro, and they wanted vengeance!
At the same time, Tony, who was lying on the ground as he was exhausted earlier, suddenly felt like regaining a surge of stamina once again! He immediately pulled out a saber from his armor and tried to stab Thanos with it!
But Thanos caught the blade before it could pierce his body and then broke the blade edge before using it to stab Tony in the abdomen!
“Tony!” Steve once again shouted as he rushed towards Thanos desperately, but as he came close, Thanos swatted him away with the Power Stone’s power.
It was a moment full of despair! Thanos was unstoppable with five Infinity Stones in his possession! None of them could do a thing to stop him! If there were just a little tiny ray of hope that they could use to turn the table against Thanos right now, it would be a miracle!
Steve was lying on the ground as the pain from being thrown around finally kicked in.
“Although your persistence is really troublesome, the game is now over! Goodbye, Stark! It was nice knowing you!” Thanos said as he pulled out the blade from Tony’s abdomen before thrusting it into Tony’s heart and driving it deeper slowly.
Tony groaned in pain and tried to stop Thanos from pushing the blade further, but it was no use! His strength was already gone, and he was exhausted! Tony finally realised that he would die in the next couple of minutes!
Suddenly, two black swords suddenly pierced Thanos’ back! It penetrated Thanos’ chest and abdomen easily! It was none other than Hela herself! She disappeared after Corvus Glaive was dead, but she finally appeared as she found an opportunity to attack Thanos!
Thanos gritted his teeth and threw Tony to the ground before turning around and attacking Hela immediately! However, Hela quickly backed away to dodge Thanos’ attack. She didn’t want to push her luck as she had successfully attacked Thanos! But suddenly, a blue light flashed from Thanos’ spot.
Thanos appeared right beside Hela with his s.p.a.ce Stone ability and grabbed Hela’s head before stabbing her with the blade he held earlier.
“This is the end of the traitor! You are seriously p.i.s.sing me off!” Thanos said coldly before throwing her to the ground. Hela was still conscious at this point, but she couldn’t move due to shock. She even began to think that it would be better for her to die in the Ragnarok!
Hela might be dying right now, but she managed to deliver a fatal blow to Thanos!
At the same time, Thanos pulled out the two long swords that pierced his back and threw it to the ground. He didn’t really care about an injury of that scale, as his healing factor would just regenerate his body later.
But suddenly, he felt something stab his legs! It turned out to be Hela once again! She used her power to conjure a small spike that emitted her Aura of Death! It was the same power that she used on Corvus Glaive earlier, but this time, she used all of her remaining power to make sure that Thanos would be coming with her to the realm of death!
Hela’s Aura of Death easily drained any living things out of their vitality, so she was confident that Thanos wouldn’t be able to find a way out of this doom!
But then again, it was Thanos! He even killed his own beloved daughter to get what he needed for his twisted mind! He remained calm even though Hela’s Aura of Death began to spread to his entire leg.
