Chapter 164: Captain America Clashes with Thanos!

"Wow, this question is fantastic! The title alone gets me excited!" Clint Barton couldn't help but applaud, "Thanos almost got split in half!"

"Thanos with all six Infinity Stones? This question is practically confirming that he was collecting the stones," Natasha Romanoff remarked.

"Even with just four stones, Thanos was already incredibly powerful. Even Doctor Strange couldn't match him. With all six stones, he must be even more terrifying," Steve Rogers said, "I wonder who on our side was strong enough to almost split Thanos in half."

"No need to ask, of course, it's me!" Thor confidently stepped forward, "Look at the question, who 'split' Thanos. Just by the action described, it already reveals the answer. Among the four options, Banner fights with his bare hands, Captain uses a shield, and Stark relies on his armor, none of them have the concept of 'splitting.' It can only be me! In addition to Mjolnir, my future weapon is also an axe. And only an axe can 'split.' So, the correct answer to this question is me!"

"Thor, even though your power has greatly increased in the future, we've also seen that there is still a gap between you and Thanos," Clint Barton expressed doubt.

"Barton, if you doubt me so much, it hurts my feelings," Thor pretended to look hurt, "My strength could increase once, why can't it increase again? Perhaps my power was further enhanced when I almost split Thanos!"

"Thor, every time I see you, I think of the scene when you were 'pregnant,' and then I can't help but feel that you're unreliable," Clint Barton shook his head, "Maybe it was Captain. Although Captain's weapon is a shield, who says he has to use his own weapon? Since Captain can use your hammer, he should be able to use your axe too. Maybe it was Captain who almost split Thanos with your axe."

"Barton!" Thor was exasperated, "I've had countless heroic moments, why do you only remember that one!"

"Barton, compared to me, Thor is probably more likely," Steve Rogers said, "His strength far surpasses mine, and unlike me, my abilities come from the Super Soldier Serum, and my strength is locked, except in unexpected situations like the zombie virus outbreak. Otherwise, my power cannot increase."

"Right, it should be Thor," Stephen Strange added, "Though I can't say it's a hundred percent certain, he has the highest probability."

"Thor, make your choice," Tony Stark said.

"I choose A!" Thor made his choice.

[Answer correct! Reward granted!]

"Haha! As expected, it's me!" Thor laughed heartily, "I knew it, the Mighty Thor won't let anyone down!"

"Thor, what is this Transformation Jutsu?" Tony Stark asked.

"This is a ninjutsu activated by chakra. It allows me to transform into anything I want. For example..." Thor made strange hand gestures, then clapped his hands. Before everyone's eyes, he transformed into another Tony Stark.

"Stark, how about it, do I look alike?" Thor spoke, and even his voice was identical, "Can you tell any difference between me and you?"

"It's exactly the same, it's almost indistinguishable," Stephen Strange approached and carefully examined, amazed, "It's truly a miraculous technique."

"Thanks for the praise." Thor made the hand seals again and transformed into the appearance of Stephen Strange.

"Ninjutsu, with the word 'jutsu,' can others learn it?" Clint Barton asked.

"They can," Thor replied.

"Others can learn it too?" Steve Rogers was surprised.

"But there's a condition; everyone must have the special energy called chakra in their bodies," Thor added.

"Chakra? What's that?" Natasha Romanoff asked.

"It's a kind of...I don't know how to explain it properly. It's a special energy that supports the activation of ninjutsu," Thor said, "I also didn't know about chakra until I was rewarded with this Transformation Jutsu. It seems to be given to me to enable me to use the technique successfully."

At that moment, light filled the space, and the video began playing.

The scene opened with Thor in his full glory, bathed in lightning as he flew through the air, where the alien forces were being engulfed by his lightning strikes, meeting their demise.

And with a single strike, he obliterated a massive warship floating in the sky.

Next, Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff, descended from the sky, her hands emanating crimson energy, and she ran to Vision's side, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

Suddenly, the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead emitted a flash of light, causing him to cry out in pain.

"What's going on? What's happening?" Wanda Maximoff quickly asked.

"He's here," Vision looked around and said.

Not only Vision sensed Thanos' arrival, but also Captain America, Steve Rogers, who stood there, looking up at the falling leaves, also felt that something was not right.

"Everyone, gather together, we have trouble," Steve Rogers said.

Almost as soon as he spoke, a blue energy surged out of the forest, accompanied by swirling black smoke. A giant figure emerged from the blue energy. Who else could it be but Thanos?

Everyone turned their heads and looked at this purple behemoth.

But Thanos remained silent, standing there, looking at everyone quietly, like a handsome man in a Korean drama who wouldn't speak.

"Captain, it's him," Bruce Banner, clad in the Anti-Hulk Armor, reminded Steve Rogers.

"What the heck!" Clint Barton couldn't help but make a comment, "If I'm not mistaken, Banner is wearing the Anti-Hulk Armor?"

"Bruce wearing the Anti-Hulk Armor, really shows that anything weird can happen in the future," Steve Rogers also mumbled.

"Bruce, that's an armor against you. Why are you wearing it?" Natasha Romanoff asked Bruce Banner.

"It seems like your focus is a bit off. The current issue is why Bruce is wearing the armor? Although the Anti-Hulk Armor is powerful, isn't the Hulk even stronger? Why not transform into the Hulk instead of wearing the armor?" Tony Stark said, "Bruce, why didn't you transform into the Hulk?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either," Bruce Banner shook his head, "There are no clues, and I can't figure it out."

"It's not just Bruce who's strange; Captain is also quite odd," Stephen Strange said, "With such a long beard, he's almost comparable to Thor's full beard during 'pregnancy.'"

"Hey, if you're talking about Captain, then talk about Captain. Why drag me into this?" Thor first responded to Stephen Strange, then said to Steve Rogers, "Yeah, Captain, why did you grow a beard? It gives people a sense of seasoned maturity."

"Captain has always cared about his appearance. His beard was always neatly trimmed, and his hair was well-kept," Natasha Romanoff said, "If I hadn't seen the video, I would never have imagined Captain looking so rugged."

"Not just his appearance, Captain has gone through a complete 'update'," Clint Barton said, "The iconic stars and stripes outfit is gone, replaced by the current black outfit. Even his shield is different. I really wonder what Captain went through to have this transformation."

"Yeah, I want to know too," Steve Rogers said.

"Everyone, be alert!" At this moment, in the video, Steve Rogers charged towards Thanos first.

Before charging, he extended his left hand, and with a click, a square-shaped shield, much narrower than before, transformed out of his arm.

So, he didn't lose the shield; he just changed it.

Although Steve Rogers charged first, Bruce Banner was closer to Thanos, so he was the first to reach him.

Thanos didn't seem hurried at all, walking calmly. In the face of Bruce Banner, who was wearing the Anti-Hulk Armor, he only lifted his left hand.

A blue light flashed, and a strange scene unfolded. Bruce Banner suddenly became like a phantom, directly passing through by Thanos.

Pointing his finger, Thanos sent Bruce Banner's body flying towards the nearby mountain wall, directly penetrating it. Then the illusory figure became solid again.

In this way, Bruce Banner, the giant, was "planted" into the mountain wall by Thanos, without even a single hair of Thanos touching him.

Steve Rogers also charged, but his confrontation with Thanos was no better than Bruce Banner's. The purple energy surged, flipping him over.

Black Panther, T'Challa, leaped high, wanting to punch Thanos, but Thanos simply extended his big hand and easily caught Black Panther by the neck, as if a butcher was holding a baby chick.

Bang!

Thanos punched Black Panther in the face, and Black Panther couldn't get up from the ground.

Then it was Falcon, Sam Wilson, who spread his wings and flew in the air, shooting dazzling rays from his dual guns, constantly bombarding Thanos. But no sooner had Sam Wilson flown close to Thanos, than he seemed to be affected by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

"Wanda, it's time to act," Vision said to Wanda Maximoff as he watched one teammate after another being dealt with by Thanos. He knew they couldn't wait any longer.

"No," Wanda Maximoff refused without hesitation.

"They can't stop Thanos," Vision pleaded, "Only we can." He grabbed Wanda Maximoff's hand and looked at her, saying, "Look at me, only you can destroy this gem."

"I can't do it!" Wanda Maximoff shook her head.

"You must do it," Vision's tone was almost begging, "Please, we don't have time."

"I can't." Wanda Maximoff's lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes. Slowly, she extended her palm, even though her heart was reluctant, she had no other choice now.

If she didn't kill Vision, the universe would be destroyed.

She had to make a choice between Vision and the universe.

In the end, Wanda Maximoff chose to sacrifice her beloved, choosing to save the universe.

"You won't hurt me," Vision knelt on the ground, looking affectionately at Wanda, speaking lies even he couldn't believe.

Wanda Maximoff's eyes were filled with tears. Radiant energy surged from her palm and landed on the Mind Stone on Vision's forehead.

On the other side, War Machine, James Rhodes, fired at Thanos from the air but was thrown aside. Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, roared as he shot with his submachine gun but was sent flying. Okoye, the general of Wakanda, and Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, one by one, were knocked down by Thanos. No one was able to last even one round against Thanos.

In the midst of this, a new teammate appeared whom no one had ever seen before—a tree that had grown into humanoid form.

At this moment, the "physique comparable to that of gods" Star-Lord had not yet appeared, and only one member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket Raccoon, had shown up, but there was no information to indicate his connection to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

So, no one recognized Groot at all.

Groot thrust both hands into the ground, and the earth churned as the tree vines rolled like waves, instantly entangling Thanos. However, Thanos easily broke free from Groot's grip.

Seeing these scenes, Wanda Maximoff gritted her teeth and accelerated. Earlier, she used only one hand to destroy the gem, but now she was using both hands.

Meanwhile, Steve Rogers charged towards Thanos again and actually punched him twice in the face.

Thanos extended his large hand, and with the Infinity Gauntlet, his palm came crashing down like a mountain pressing down on Steve Rogers.

Everyone thought that Steve Rogers would be knocked down like all the other heroes who attempted to fight Thanos before, but unexpectedly, Steve Rogers braced his hands upwards and actually resisted Thanos' palm!

Surprised, a look of astonishment appeared on Thanos' face, and he continued to press down with his palm.

However, Steve Rogers still didn't go down!

He gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulged, and he was actually holding his own against Thanos!

"Indeed, he's Captain America!" Seeing this, Clint Barton's mouth fell open in surprise, "He can actually withstand a punch from Thanos!"

"Everyone is no match for Thanos and falls instantly," Natasha Romanoff also remarked, "Captain is the only one who can hold his ground against Thanos. Impressive."

"I think this is a bit unreasonable," Stephen Strange said, "I don't mean to look down on Captain, but based on his strength, he shouldn't be able to withstand this punch. That's a five-gem Thanos!"
