These words made the gazes of Steve, Thor, and the others gather on Tony.
They had all seen the consequences of snapping one’s fingers.
As strong as Hulk was, after forcibly bearing the power of the six infinity stones and finishing the snap, one of his arms was directly crippled, and it was unknown whether it could recover later.
And Tony was merely a mortal body armed by technology.
If he were truly to bear the backlash of the infinity stones and deliver this snap, then…
Everyone’s heart felt heavy, becoming a mixed bag of emotions.
Sacrifice himself?
Tony stood there in a daze, Strange’s words echoing repeatedly in his mind.
But thinking carefully, given his personality, making such a decision seemed unexpected yet completely reasonable.
After a brief silence, Tony tremblingly pointed a finger at himself: “Are you sure it’s me?”
Strange nodded.
Tony nodded fiercely, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Peter with eyes that were starting to turn red: “Peter, give me the Infinity Gauntlet. Since this is the only way to succeed, then let’s do it this way!”
“No, let me do it!”
Thor also struggled to crawl up from the ground at this moment, the purplish-black veins having already spread across nearly a third of his body.
“Let me do it, I can hold on!”
“Alright, you big shots, stop arguing,” while everyone was speaking, Peter had already put on the Infinity Gauntlet and placed the infinity stones on it one by one.
Click——
As the last purple power stone snapped into the slot.
Hum——!!!
Immediately, wave after wave of Strange yet massive energy surged wildly along the Infinity Gauntlet, heading straight into Peter’s limbs and bones!
The boundless torrent of energy collided wantonly, carrying extreme destructiveness and corrosiveness, frantically impacting Peter’s body.
Peter’s brows furrowed ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly.
To be honest, the impact of this stone’s backlash was far stronger than he had estimated.
He had originally thought that with his current superhuman physique capable of obliterating Thanos barehanded, he could easily control the power of the six infinity stones without the slightest burden.
When he had previously pinched a single stone in his hand, he truly hadn’t felt any abnormalities.
If it were an ordinary person, no, even a demigod like Star-Lord, directly touching the infinity stones with flesh and blood would cause their physical body to collapse from the terrifying power contained within. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
He just didn’t expect that he would still feel the prickling pain brought by the energy impact!
That wasn’t the excruciating pain of tearing tendons and bones, but a dense, continuous prickling sensation.
As if countless fine needles were endlessly stabbing into every inch of his cellular texture.
Subtle yet clear, stubborn and troublesome.
It was as if Rong Mama was poking him with small needles.
“According to web novel classifications, perhaps my current strength is between single-Universe level and hyper-single,” Peter silently pulled out a strength planning scale.
Of course, this wasn’t actually rigorous.
Marvel’s power scaling system had always been vague, chaotic, and volatile, filled with various plot checks and balances and power scaling collapses.
Especially in some solo movies, they would forcibly lower the combat power of certain characters to cater to the plot.
Am I right, Deadpool.
Also.
For example, Thanos was generally considered to be around Father-God level strength, which was about the same level as the God King Odin.
But the Mohawk, which was Captain Marvel, was generally believed to actually be of single-Universe level strength.
Yet Captain Marvel always took a beating when facing Thanos.
And there were some strengths claimed to be multiverse-level, yet they were counter-killed by a hero who might not even touch the single-Universe level.
However, what he could be certain of now was that his strength was solid single-Universe level, not a counterfeit product like the Mohawk.
Peter took a deep breath, suppressing the dense prickling pain between his cellular textures.
Relying on a robust physique of at least single-Universe level, he forcefully suppressed the restless and violent origin energy of the six infinity stones, completely controlling this terrifying power sufficient to subvert a single Universe.
Without hesitation, without lingering, he gently clasped his fingertips together and decisively snapped his fingers, which condensed the ultimate rules of the Universe.
Snap!
A crisp and neat snapping sound suddenly resounded through the dilapidated battlefield.
The sound was not loud, but it carried the origin authority of this Universe.
In an instant, a boundless, pure, and ultimate Universe-level energy exploded with Peter as the absolute center, rapidly scattering in all directions.
Then breaking through the spatial barrier, it instantly swept and covered the entire known Universe at a terrifying speed far exceeding the speed of light.
The swirling smoke of gunpowder, the raging breeze, the vibrating air, the surging energy, and even the spacetime flow rate of the entire battlefield seemed to completely stagnate at this moment. New chapters come out on novelping(.)com first.
All things stood still, silent and motionless.
After a brief moment of stagnation, earth-shaking changes suddenly descended.
On the ground, the corpses of all Black Order monsters, the remains of residual alien grunts, and the bodies of the Black Order members were completely dissolved, without exception.
Then Thanos’s huge body with its head blown off also instantly became illusory and disintegrated, turning into sky-fulls of fine flying ash that drifted away with the wind.
Even the Sanctuary II spaceship, which Peter had already regarded as booty, disappeared along with it.
Because the wish Peter had just made was to completely eliminate this unknown purplish-black patterned virus, as well as Thanos and everything he brought, which naturally included Sanctuary II.
Peter was helpless about this.
The large action figure he had managed to get with great difficulty was gone before it even warmed up in his hands.
A massive loss.
However, compared to a battleship, everyone’s lives, the stability of the entire Earth, and his hard-earned brand-new life were of the utmost importance.
But at this moment, a heavy sense of unease still lingered at the bottom of his heart.
Hopefully, it won’t be the worst kind of outcome…
Peter raised his eyes, his gaze quickly sweeping across the entire battlefield.
In a short instant, Thanos’s army, the warships, all traces of invasion, and the source of the virus breeding had been completely wiped clean.
Between heaven and earth, there were no longer any traces of invaders, leaving only a devastated and battered earth, along with the remains of Earth soldiers everywhere and numerous battle scars, silently testifying to the tragic and heroic nature of the Endgame just now.
Then, his gaze fell heavily, locking onto Tony, Steve, Natasha, and the other Avengers.
The next second, the premonition in his heart was completely fulfilled.
The purplish-black veins spreading and entrenched on everyone’s bodies showed no trace of fading at all, and didn’t even weaken!
They still stubbornly adhered to the skin and cellular textures, continuously eroding their bodies and sanity.
The situation was even deteriorating further.
Now Tony, Steve, Natasha, and the others had completely lost their language abilities, only emitting futile roars in place.
Only Thor and Hulk, who had the strongest physiques, could barely hold on, retaining a last shred of sanity.
The only good news was that after the corpses of Thanos and his Black Order completely disappeared, the spread rate of this unknown virus visibly slowed down, temporarily cutting off a wider range of infection crises.
