You guys go ahead and retreat.

Thanos moved with incredible speed, almost in an instant, closing in on Wang Yang.

A powerful force accompanied Thanos as he swung his sword down.

Almost no one in the vicinity could see his movements, except for Strange.

Strange, being the chosen successor of the Ancient One, couldn't conceal his strength even when his radiance was obscured by Wang Yang. In this moment, he saw Thanos approaching Wang Yang with a slashing motion.

He wanted to warn Wang Yang in advance but was too late.

Thanos' double-edged sword had already descended.

Accompanied by a sharp tearing sound in the air and black cracks forming around, the powerful force distorted the surrounding space.

Wang Yang made no unnecessary movements. With a slight shift of his body, his cloak carried him sideways, evading the attack.

The long blade almost descended right where Wang Yang had been standing, but it didn't touch his clothes.

Despite exerting full force, Thanos, under the influence of such power, struggled to maintain balance. His slash missed, almost causing him to fall.

Strange watched this scene with a helpless expression. Even though they had similar training, Wang Yang, who entered Kamar-Taj just a few months earlier than him, showed a vast difference in their abilities.

Strange couldn't comprehend why he couldn't achieve the same.

The reaction speed made Strange even suspect whether Wang Yang was truly human.

Although, after practicing magic, Strange understood that he could enhance his physique using the universe's energy. However, the speed and reaction demonstrated by Wang Yang were astonishing. He couldn't even speak before Wang Yang dodged.

So, Strange was genuinely amazed.

Moreover, Wang Yang's Vashanti's Divine Sword easily blocked Thanos' double-edged sword.

The ground once again crumbled.

Shaking his head, Strange thought it was better not to compare himself with Wang Yang. If he were to compare, he should compare with regular people. In his mind, Wang Yang was no longer a regular person.

Wang Yang, without much ado, took a step back and unleashed magical chains from his hand.

Countless magical chains entwined Thanos.

Buzz! Thanos possessed formidable speed and strength.

However, when bound so tightly, his power couldn't be fully displayed.

"Your magic is powerful, but you will regret it. I want to achieve my ideals to help you Earthlings, not just for myself. You don't understand!" Thanos looked at Wang Yang, feeling unwilling, but everything was already beyond his control.

He had lost. His battleship was destroyed, and almost all of his subordinates were wiped out, most of them following his orders.

Although he had his own intentions to eliminate half of the universe's population, for Earth, it had significant benefits, known to only a few.

Something terrifying was incubating within Earth, unknown to anyone but Thanos, an Eternal.

"What you're saying, I understand. You're talking about the Celestials!" Wang Yang calmly spoke, then continued, "I understand the birth of the Celestials and the purpose of the Eternals. However, you don't understand that Earth doesn't need this method of protection!"

"If it requires sacrificing most lives, it loses its meaning of protection. We will protect Earth in our own way!"

Wang Yang spoke slowly.

He knew why Thanos said what he did. If Thanos didn't know about the birth of the Celestials, Wang Yang wouldn't believe it. As an Eternal created by the Celestials, Thanos must have some understanding of the Celestials' birth.

Perhaps Thanos had some grudge with the Celestials, leading him to choose this path, annihilating half of the universe's living beings.

However, the details were known only to Thanos.

"You know?" Thanos looked at Wang Yang in disbelief, seemingly finding Wang Yang's words incredible.

"If you know, you should understand that everything I'm doing is for the good of your Earth!" Thanos couldn't believe that the mage in front of him knew why he took this path but still insisted on opposing him.

Even though he had other motives and wanted to eliminate half of the universe's population, it had significant benefits for Earth. However, Wang Yang, with this knowledge, continued to act against him.

The birth of the Celestials would absorb the entire planet's power. With the birth of the Celestials, Earth would collapse completely. At that time, not just half, but all life on Earth would vanish.

Wang Yang shook his head. Thanos had his own ideas, but so did he.

Victory couldn't come at the cost of losing lives.

Thanos' actions were delaying, and this wasn't the result Wang Yang desired.

"Your way is not what I want to do," Wang Yang shook his head, "I want a decisive solution, not just procrastination!"

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Thanos was momentarily stunned. Apparently, he hadn't expected Wang Yang to respond this way.

"You have no idea how powerful he is!" Thanos shook his head.

"Before you came, you probably thought you were very powerful!" Wang Yang's words fell, and the powerful magical chains twisted abruptly. In an instant, Thanos was reduced to mere flesh and blood.

At this moment, the cosmic overlord, Thanos, died at the hands of Wang Yang.

Even in the face of death, an expression of disbelief lingered on Thanos' face.

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it was the alliance forces on Wang Yang's side or the remnants of the vanguard, everyone was frozen in place.

They all looked in astonishment at the figure still standing in the center of the battlefield.

With Thanos' death, on Titan:

The once resounding screams, roars, and sounds of slaughter had vanished.

Members of the Avengers, Wakandans, Ravagers, Asgardian soldiers, Kamar-Taj sorcerers, and even the bio-weapons created by Thanos—all were trapped in an inexplicable silence.

Their gaze involuntarily focused on the center of the battlefield.

There, Wang Yang stood tall, his silver-white cloak billowing in the wind, while Thanos' lifeless body lay on the ground after the magical chains disappeared.

Despite Thanos being Thanos, the formidable entity, even after being strangled by magical chains, there wasn't much change in his appearance.

Some found it hard to believe.

After all, Thanos had been a terrifying presence in the universe, causing immense pressure that none of them could withstand.

Now, the mastermind behind this overwhelming pressure was gone?

Some even doubted their eyes.

However, Wang Yang's side displayed a different scene. The bodies of the vanguard were scattered across the ground. If Thanos hadn't intervened earlier, the casualties would have been even greater.

The members of the Avengers, once again looking at Wang Yang, wore complex expressions on their faces.

They already had a feeling that their role was minimal with Wang Yang present.

Now, it was even more apparent. Before they could exert their powers, Wang Yang had already resolved the situation.

Apart from the members of the Avengers, others in the vicinity showed shock, admiration, and worship in their eyes.

With Thanos dead, the remaining vanguard hurriedly retreated.

After a while, Captain America reacted.

"Wizard Wang, what should we do now?"

Even though Thanos' artillery range was extensive, there were still many vanguard and Chitauri soldiers remaining.

With Thanos' death, some of them had already started to flee.

Of course, despite the fast-paced battle, injuries had occurred. If not for the Kamar-Taj sorcerers facilitating teleportation to move the injured, the casualties would have been more severe.

Wang Yang had already collected Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet and gems. Even Thanos' body was stored in his mirror space.

"Captain, you all can retreat now," Wang Yang calmly spoke. With Thanos dead and the spaceship destroyed, there was no need for so many people to stay.

"What? What about these Chitauri and the vanguard?" Even though Thanos was dead, there were still many Chitauri and vanguard soldiers around. Were they to be let go so easily?

This sentiment wasn't exclusive to Captain America; other members of the Avengers shared the same concern. After all, who knew if there would be someone among them harboring revenge for Thanos and seeking to cause devastating harm to Earth.

"Leave them to me," Wang Yang said calmly, casting a glance over the numerous Chitauri and vanguard soldiers.

Hearing Wang Yang's words, for some unknown reason, many people's emotions trembled.

It seemed like they recalled the fierce battle between Wang Yang and Thanos just now.

Apparently, if Wang Yang really decided to take action, these vanguard and Chitauri soldiers would be nothing to him.

"Alright, let's prepare to withdraw!"

Captain America shouted.

As the team leader, Captain America had absolute command. His loud command received countless responses.

Wang Yang nodded, then raised his hand, drawing circles. Countless light circles appeared in front of them. In the areas with dense personnel, a massive portal opened.

Although this scene had happened more than once, with so many portals appearing when they were teleported earlier, it was still Wang Yang alone who initiated it this time.

Captain America was the first to react.

"We're leaving!"

Captain America shouted, and the entire team began to withdraw.
