Watching Wanda control Doctor Strange and fly into the sky, followed immediately by Vision chasing after them, the three quickly left Wakanda.
Captain America looked confused, "What are they doing?"
"Why did they suddenly leave?"
"We're still in the middle of a war."
Just then, Black Panther lunged at him. Steve quickly raised his shield, blocking T'Challa's spinning double kick in midair.
Bang! Bang!
Although he blocked both powerful kicks, Steve was still forced back a few steps before lowering his shield to look at T'Challa.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
"This isn't the time to zone out."
T'Challa continued, "Besides, do you think you can take me on by yourself?"
"He's not alone."
Carrying a rifle, Bucky walked over to Steve's side, "Mind if I join your game?"
Steve smiled, "I'd be happy to have you."
T'Challa said, "Bucky, you should leave."
"Unfortunately, I can't."
Bucky shook his head, "I won't abandon my friends."
"Of course, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to fight you either."
"King T'Challa, you're making a mistake."
"You shouldn't keep making one mistake after another."
Black Widow also walked over, "I don't think King T'Challa is going to listen to your advice."
"Am I right, Your Majesty?"
T'Challa nodded, "I have my own faith."
Steve said, "Since when did your faith become the Conqueror?"
"Six years ago."
A voice sounded beside T'Challa.
Shuri walked over, "Brother, let me help you."
"That makes it two against three."
Steve said gravely, "T'Challa, my friend, it's not too late to stop."
Black Panther replied solemnly, "Captain, that's exactly what I wanted to say to you."
Talking had failed.
Steve looked at Bucky and Black Widow.
Then the three of them began walking toward the T'Challa siblings.
Black Panther and Shuri did the same.
On the battlefield, the five walked toward one another. Then they broke into a run.
Shuri suddenly leaped high into the air and dove toward Steve.
But Bucky and Black Widow abruptly raised their guns and opened fire on the Wakandan princess.
Shuri created an energy shield in front of herself, absorbing all the bullets' kinetic energy.
Meanwhile, Steve had already charged at Black Panther.
Shuri's attack missed. She held both hands out and fired shockwaves from her palms, knocking Bucky and Black Widow backward.
Behind her, Steve and Black Panther exchanged blows at high speed. Both were masters of hand-to-hand combat, trading attacks without pause.
After fighting for a while, Black Panther seized an opportunity to widen the distance and fired a kinetic energy beam at Steve.
Steve raised his shield to block it. The purple beam struck the shield and was reflected into the sky.
Above them, a fighter jet was hit by the beam, exploded, and fell.
Behind the crashing aircraft, a dazzling streak of light flashed across the sky, crossed the battlefield, and shot straight toward Alex.
Alex had sensed it long ago. Turning around, he saw Captain Marvel charging at him at full speed from within the light.
She had already entered her Binary Form, releasing astonishing energy while continuously absorbing energy from space and converting it into her own power.
"Let's fight somewhere else."
Wakanda was one of Alex's strongholds in the Marvel universe.
He had no intention of letting Captain Marvel destroy it.
He raised the Infinity Gauntlet.
The Space Stone glowed blue.
The instant Captain Marvel's punch came crashing in, Alex raised his hand, and black-and-blue flames swallowed both of them.
BOOM!
On Titan, two figures burst out of the black-and-blue flames.
Alex blocked Captain Marvel's punch with one hand. He slid back over a thousand meters, smashing through countless rocks before finally stopping.
Carol looked around in surprise, "Where is this?"
"Titan."
"Thanos's homeworld,".Alex smiled.
"Here, I don't have to hold back."
Carol smiled too, "I was just about to say the same thing."
"Really?"
"We seem to get along pretty well."
Alex shrugged, "Then how about we call off the fight?"
"Maybe we could grab a coffee or something. Sounds better than beating each other up."
Carol raised an eyebrow, "That doesn't sound bad. Maybe we could even go on a date."
"If we get along, maybe we could try dating?"
Alex laughed, "That would definitely be interesting."
"Sure. As long as you hand me the Infinity Gauntlet, I'll give you my phone number," Carol gestured toward the gauntlet with her chin.
Alex looked regretful, "That's the one thing I can't give you."
Carol sighed, "That's too bad."
[T/N: She could first marry him and take half of the gauntlet after divorce.]
The two looked at each other.
The next second, they slammed their foreheads together, sending a shockwave rippling out.
Then Alex threw Carol away.
Like a gymnast, Carol spun through the air before finally stopping. Flames of light surged around her body as she charged back toward Alex, firing photon blasts at him.
Alex raised the Infinity Gauntlet and caught the energy.
He then transformed it into a miniature black hole and threw it back at Carol.
"Ha! I've been wanting to try this move for a long time."
He had learned it from Thanos.
Seeing the miniature black hole rushing toward her, Carol's expression changed. Light flared around her as she turned and fled.
Fortunately, her speed was enough to escape its gravitational pull.
The black hole flew out into space.
Carol circled around, tracing a beautiful arc over the ground before charging at Alex once more.
Alex raised his hand.
The Power Stone blazed brightly.
A massive stream of purple energy burst from the gauntlet's fist like a giant cannon.
Carol hurriedly crossed her arms to block it, but the torrent from the Power Stone kept forcing her backward.
Under the influence of the Power Stone, the ground shook and cracks spread across the surface.
The entire planet trembled.
After barely holding it back, Carol shoved the river of energy aside, slipped past the purple beam, and flew straight at Alex with all her strength.
She raised her fist and punched.
BUZZ!
Layers of diamond-shaped ripples appeared in front of her fist.
Absolute Domain!
Carol's punch, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter the earth, was stopped by the domain, which dispersed and redirected its force.
Alex then raised a hand and lightly slapped her on the chest.
The Soul Stone lit up.
Carol's soul immediately separated from her body.
In surprise, Carol watched her body collapse to the ground. Just as she rushed toward it, black-and-blue flames rose around her.
Like a prison, they trapped her soul inside.
Alex smiled.
"The Space Stone isn't just for teleportation."
"It can also imprison space and temporarily exile a designated area into another dimension."
"Enjoy the trip, ma'am."
With a wave of his hand, Carol disappeared into thin air.
Her soul had been temporarily exiled into another dimensional space.
After sending Carol away, Alex didn't stop. He raised the Infinity Gauntlet again, and the Space Stone lit up once more as black-and-blue flames enveloped him.
When the flames receded like flowing water, he was back on Earth.
Back in Wakanda.
Alex looked around.
Thor and the clone were locked in an even fight.
The Hulk was battling the Cursed General.
Two Cursed Warriors were relentlessly chasing the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Steve, Black Widow, and Bucky were still evenly matched against T'Challa and Shuri.
Falcon and Colonel Rhodes had also returned to the battlefield and were fighting Wakanda's army.
Spider-Man, with One-Hit Kill Mode activated, moved freely through the Black Iron Tide.
Taking in the entire battlefield, Alex said, "The game ends here."
He raised the Infinity Gauntlet.
The Infinity Stones embedded in it lit up one after another.
Mind, Space, Soul, Power, Reality, the five Stones resonated with one another.
Every Stone except the Time Stone shone brilliantly.
The next moment, brilliant multicolored light appeared around Steve, Black Widow, and Bucky. An indescribable, unfathomable force bound the three of them.
They couldn't muster even a trace of strength. Panic and fear filled their hearts. The air itself seemed frozen, leaving them unable to move, while parts of their bodies either dissolved into countless particles or twisted into segmented forms.
Immediately after, Thor, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and the others suffered the same fate.
"Exit the stage."
Alex waved his hand lightly.
Black-and-blue flames erupted around each of them.
Even Stark was no exception.
In the blink of an eye, every Avenger disappeared from the battlefield.
They had left Wakanda, scattered by Alex to random corners of the Earth.
———
[New York]
On a bustling street, pedestrians suddenly heard cries of alarm as clusters of black-and-blue flames appeared in midair.
Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Stark's corpse fell out of the flames.
Spider-Man quickly caught Iron Man with webbing, secured him to the side of a building, and landed safely.
The Hulk was much rougher. Like a green meteor, he smashed into the ground, his massive feet crushing the pavement into a web of cracks. He skidded across the road, sending several cars flying before finally coming to a stop.
The people on the street stared in silence.
Some of the braver ones took out their phones to record the scene, while the more timid screamed and ran away.
The Hulk snorted, stomped the ground, leaped onto a skyscraper, and soon disappeared from New York.
———
[North Pole]
A group of penguins was sliding one after another down an icy slope before splashing into the freezing water.
Then clusters of black-and-blue flames appeared.
Quill, Drax, Rocket, Mantis, and Groot tumbled out of them.
They shouted and screamed as they landed on the icy slope, scattering the penguins before repeatedly splashing into the water.
"So cold! I'm going to catch a cold."
Mantis hugged herself and sneezed repeatedly.
The thick-skinned Drax laughed loudly, "This is fun."
"How is this fun? My fur's all wet."
Rocket complained.
Groot muttered, "I am Groot."
Quill and Rocket shouted at the same time, "Don't swear!"
———
[A Train Station Somewhere in Ireland]
People crowded onto a train. Not long after it left the station, several clusters of black-and-blue flames appeared inside one of the cars.
"What is that?"
"Aliens?"
"I heard New York's been pretty chaotic lately."
The passengers hurried away from the black-and-blue flames.
Then Steve, Bucky, and Black Widow fell out of them.
The moment they left the flames, they regained their freedom of movement and climbed back to their feet.
The three looked around.
"Where are we?"
"The good news is we're still on Earth."
"The bad news is... we might be in Ireland."
Black Widow had been to many countries and knew many languages. From the various signs inside the train car, she recognized the writing as Irish.
Bucky looked out the window.
"Looks like we'll have to ride to the next stop."
Steve gave a dry cough, "Let's find an inconspicuous corner to sit down."
Black Widow looked around, "I think that's going to be pretty difficult."
———
[Wakanda]
After sending the Avengers away, Alex withdrew his power and announced, "It's over."
"Those troublesome Avengers won't be coming back anytime soon."
Cheers immediately erupted across the Wakandan battlefield.
Black Panther and Shuri came over, removed their helmets, and knelt on one knee before Alex.
"Long live the Conqueror."
"Long live the Conqueror!"
The entire battlefield echoed with cheers.
After a while, the voices finally died down.
Looking at the siblings, Alex nodded.
"You both did well."
He pointed at Shuri, "Especially you. You secured the Mind Stone."
"I'll make sure you're rewarded for that."
"What reward do you want?"
Shuri looked excited. She stood up and whispered something into Alex's ear.
Even T'Challa couldn't hear what his sister was saying.
A smile appeared on Alex's face, "I'll think about it."
He looked Shuri up and down.
"But..."
"You're too skinny."
"You're not my type."
Shuri immediately said, "I'll work hard to change that, Lord Conqueror."
"I'll be waiting."
Only after receiving Alex's promise did Shuri step back.
T'Challa quietly asked, "What did you say to Lord Conqueror?"
"Secret."
Shuri had no intention of telling him.
Alex then looked at T'Challa and pointed at his chest.
"You should pay attention to your heart."
"Unless you want Wakanda to end up with a different king."
[T/N: I hope you all don't think it is too harsh to mention.]
The moment he heard those words, Shuri became even more anxious than T'Challa.
"Lord Conqueror, does my brother have heart disease?"
Alex didn't explain further.
"It never hurts to be careful."
Shuri immediately decided to give T'Challa a full physical examination later.
"All right."
"I have something to do."
"I'm leaving for a while."
"I'll be back shortly."
After speaking, Alex raised the Infinity Gauntlet.
The Space Stone lit up.
His figure was swallowed by black-and-blue flames.
When Alex stepped out of the flames, he heard voices.
"Has something really happened to Lord Thanos?"
"The Conqueror has Lord Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet. I'm afraid the odds aren't good."
"There's been no word from Ebony Maw either. He's probably dead."
As the scene before him became clear, Alex looked around.
He was inside a spaceship.
Ahead of him, Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, and Corvus Glaive were gathered together.
Sensing something, all three turned their heads at the same time.
The moment they saw Alex, they immediately became as tense as if facing a great enemy.
