Marvel: Spider-Man Begins Spoilers

Tony, who had fallen to the ground, was furious.

"If you throw another satellite at me, I'm going to get really angry!"

"Stark!" Thanos narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected the armor this guy had created to be so durable; it hadn't even been hit head-on.

Tony raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know me?"

Thanos smiled slightly, "Of course! You're not the only one cursed by knowledge!"

Tony exhaled, not understanding the meaning behind Thanos's words.

"You are my only nightmare!"

Before Thanos could react, several missiles were launched from behind him and headed towards him.

"Come on!!!" Thanos didn't use the Infinity Stones; instead, he chose to directly withstand Tony's missile with his bare body.

【"boom!!!"】

In an instant, the spot where Thanos stood was enveloped in a cloud of dust.

[Thanos had just waved his hand to disperse the dust when Tony rushed over, bringing his legs together to form a disc, and slammed him heavily into Thanos's stomach.]

[Then, with a backflip, he landed, his hands transforming into hammer shapes, and with the thrusters at full power, he slammed Thanos into the rocks behind him.]

However, Thanos was not injured. Instead, he reached out and grabbed Thanos's helmet, crushing it with a forceful squeeze.

[Realizing the situation was dire, Tony used nanomaterials to regenerate his helmet while raising his arms to try and block Thanos's punches.]

Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of Thanos's powerful swing punch; even with his arms to block, he was still knocked to the ground by the blow.

Thanos removed the cumbersome gadget from his gauntlet and fired a purple beam of power at Tony.

Tony quickly conjured a shield and planted it in the ground to block the attack.

The beam of power struck, and the immense impact at the moment of contact sent Tony shoving backward seven or eight meters.

[Under the overwhelming purple torrent, the nanotech shield was rapidly weakened. Tony knew he couldn't withstand it head-on, so he decisively spun around to avoid the beam and flew towards Thanos.]

Taking advantage of Thanos's momentary lapse in attention, he used nanomaterials to amplify the power of his legs, stomping Thanos's left hand into the ground. He then delivered a powerful punch with his left hand, striking Thanos in the face.

Thanos tilted his head, a touch of crimson appearing on his face.

He reached out and touched his finger, looking at the faint traces of blood, and sneered, "Is that all the strength you've got?"

Then, with a forceful lift of his left hand, Tony was flipped over.

Before he could get up, Thanos threw a punch back at Tony. Tony's pupils contracted, and he immediately raised his arms to block.

But Mark 50's strength was simply insufficient to contend with Thanos. He was knocked to the side, and then Thanos's heavy punches came one after another, leaving Tony completely defenseless.

However, Thanos didn't finish him off. After punching him a few times and knocking off some parts, he grabbed Tony, the Power Stone glowed faintly, and a beam of light blasted him away.

Tony, still unwilling to give up, watched Thanos approach and struggled to his feet, firing a palm-shaped cannon at him.

Thanos raised his left hand, and the Power Stone glowed purple, easily blocking his beam of light, and continued walking towards him.

Tony maintained the beam of light in his right hand, slowly straightening his body, while the remaining nanomaterial on his leg began to transfer to his arm.

With the supply of these nanomaterials, Tony's left hand also fired a palm-cannon.

But with the Power Stone's power, Thanos was completely unfazed by his attacks. He walked right up to Tony, enduring the beam of light, and with a flick of his wrist, shattered the armor on Tony's hand into pieces.

Then he delivered another elbow strike, which Tony frantically raised to block. However, Thanos didn't use too much force this time, as Tony's armor was almost completely destroyed.

As someone also cursed by knowledge, Thanos didn't want to kill Tony so quickly.

But Tony ignored all that, dodging Thanos's elbow strike and throwing a punch at him, which Thanos easily caught.

The nanomaterials instantly transferred from Tony's left hand to his right arm, creating a sharp dagger that he aimed at Thanos.

Thanos swiftly grabbed it, easily broke it in half, and stabbed Tony in the back.

"Ouch!" Tony gasped in pain, disbelief in his eyes, and began to back away.

Thanos, gripping the dagger, followed Tony until he sat down on a rock.

He reached out and stroked Tony's head.

"I admire you, Tony Stark! Even if I succeed, half of humanity will still survive!"

Looking at the heavily injured Tony, he said calmly, "I hope they'll remember you!"

Blood gushed from Tony's mouth; the intense pain rendered him unable to speak for a moment.

Thanos slowly raised his left hand, aiming it at Tony, as the four Infinity Stones on the gauntlet simultaneously emitted light.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Strange's voice attracted Thanos's attention, and he slowly turned his head to look.

He struggled to turn over, panting heavily, and said, "Spare his life, and I'll give you the jewel!"

Thanos narrowed his eyes and pointed the gauntlet at him: "Don't try anything funny!"

Strange shook his head helplessly, realizing that things had ultimately come to this.

Tony looked at him, puzzled.

"Don't give it to him..."

But Strange ignored Tony; he knew exactly what was going to happen, and this was the best possible outcome.

He reached out and retrieved the Time Stone from the alternate dimension, where it hovered between his fingers.

Thanos extends his right hand, demanding it.

Tony, watching this scene, was utterly bewildered, unable to understand why Strange, who had so vehemently vowed to protect the Time Stone, would so easily relinquish this most precious possession.

Strange looked at the Time Stone glowing green in his hand and handed it to Thanos.

Thanos, having obtained the Time Stone, promptly placed it on the thumb of the Infinity Gauntlet, and instantly felt himself become even more powerful.

"Just one more to go!"

Just as he was muttering to himself, several energy blasts hit his gloves. It turned out that Star-Lord had woken up and was charging towards him with his pulse gun.

Thanos ignored Star-Lord's impotent rage, opened a portal, and enveloped himself, leaving Titan.

Star-Lord, rushing towards them, missed his target and fell headfirst to the ground.

"Where did he go?!"

At that moment, he was filled with anxiety and regret; he shouldn't have thrown that punch.
