Chapter 219: Alter Reality!

"Boom..." After releasing their power, the five Infinity Gems exploded.

But the light from the Time Gem dimmed instantly. Its power had been drained and would take some time to recover.

This was already disheartening enough.

This Thanos was not the original Thanos who merely sought balance but a true destroyer!

His goal was not only to decimate half of the universe's population but to completely eradicate all life!

With the sound of a snap, everyone present was stunned. They felt a mysterious force enveloping them, and many sensed they were about to vanish!

Everyone was at a loss, unsure of what actions to take...

Except Wanda.

Wanda's thoughts drifted back to the past, recalling Thor's words.

"Your power is one of the oldest and most potent forces in the universe. It's more than just firing a few red energy blasts."

"The most powerful aspect of your Chaos magic is Alter Reality!"

"Your potential surpasses mine. When your ability is fully unleashed, every word you utter will become reality. Just like if you declare the Earth as the center, the entire universe will revolve around it."

"No, it's not merely the ability to alter reality; it's the power to play God!"

"I believe in you!"

She closed her eyes, feeling the power surging within her.

The recent outburst had allowed her to independently defeat a being as formidable as the Nightmare.

Now, she needed to unleash that power once more...

"Everyone, don't disappear!"

Chaos energy surged, but soon she felt a wave of dizziness, a backlash from Alter Reality.

Had she failed?

"Wanda, with your current power, you can't alter too large a cause and effect."

Strange's voice came through: "The power of the six Infinity Gems affects the entire universe's fate. You cannot bear such a burden!"

As he spoke, his feet began to slowly disintegrate.

"You must reverse all this without significantly altering the intent behind the snap!"

Wanda: "???"

Reversing the disappearance of cosmic beings without interfering with Thanos' objective?

But isn't Thanos' goal to annihilate all life?

No, Thanos' ambition was to destroy the universe with his own power; only when that was insufficient would he resort to the gems!

There is a distinction!

Thanos and his dark army had halted their actions.

In the final moments, everyone was on the brink of disappearing, and the universe would fall into utter silence.

At that moment, a cold female voice echoed in the ears of all beings in the universe.

"At this moment, there is no one with superpowers in the world!"

A miracle occurred.

Countless individuals who were on the verge of turning to ashes began to slowly recover...

No one understood why, but the effects of the snap had vanished.

Only the Avengers knew that Wanda had used a different form of sacrifice instead of a snap.

Like a fairy tale, where a benevolent witch sleeps for a century to lift a death curse...

The Valkyries began to falter, losing their ability to maintain flight.

Fortunately, their mounts were winged Pegasi, which safely guided them to the ground.

Then there were Carol, Jane Foster, and other superpowered beings who fell from the sky, having lost their flight abilities and become mortal...

The Marauder ship picked them up.

Little Spider-Man Peter Parker, half of him turned to ashes, had returned to normal. He stared at his hands in disbelief, attempting to shoot webs, but there was no response.

Bruce Banner called out, "Hulk? Hulk?"

No response.

Wanda's strength was exhausted, and she had fainted. Whether she was still the Scarlet Witch was unknown...

Stark's eyes widened. The scene before him was identical to what he had seen in his vision!

Thanos was momentarily disoriented.

He had not anticipated that this witch could single-handedly reverse the fate of the entire universe and thwart the snap that harnessed the power of the six gems...

No, she hadn't changed anything!

Because he and his army were not from this world!

And when he snapped his fingers, he hadn't included his own side from the beginning!

In a universe devoid of superpowers, what else could prevent its own destruction?

Thanos laughed maniacally.
