Inventory of Chaos: Iconic Scenes That Shattered Everyone Instantly-Chapter 225: ICISEI Episode 211
Episode 211: The Universe’s Family Planning Director who worried his heart out for Population Control — ’Thanos’
Even if he had become like this now, Garou still held onto his own pride deep within his heart.
However, regarding what this Purple Potato Monster before his eyes was about to do, he still felt extremely shocked.
Meanwhile...
At Saitama’s house—
When Saitama saw the Purple Potato Monster’s plan on the screen, a curious expression appeared in his eyes.
"Wow! That’s amazing, he can wipe out half the people just like that?"
"Um, Sensei, isn’t this the time to be angry?"
Genos retorted from the side.
"Yeah, I should be angry, but being able to do something like that is also pretty amazing, isn’t it?"
Saitama tilted his head, looking at Genos, and said,
"Besides, this is something he will do in the future. Now that the people of that world know about it, this thing probably won’t happen, right?"
To this, Genos could only nod his head.

『 Thanos’s face was written with vicissitudes. He looked around; everything before him made him feel as if he had returned to his childhood, but those familiar scenes now only left him sighing at how things remained the same while people had changed.
"The hardest choices require the strongest wills. The ideal I pursue will not change for anyone, not even for those closest to me!"
Thanos’s voice was incomparably firm, yet when he spoke the last few sentences, he involuntarily looked toward the Soul Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet. If one observed, they would discover a trace of subtle regret and pain flashing through his eyes.
At this moment, Doctor Strange slowly stood up, his eyes revealing a determination like never before.
He spread his hands, and a magic shield emitting golden light appeared in his palms.
"You will find our will equal to yours!!"
"Our?" Thanos keenly caught the nuance in Doctor Strange’s words. Just as he was about to look up at the other party, he suddenly noticed a massive piece of satellite wreckage diving straight down from the sky at an incredible speed.
Almost in the blink of an eye, this heavy celestial body smashed into him. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "What does he mean by ’our’?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Does that mean there is other support nearby?" ]
[ Tony Stark (Earth-616): "The title already said it. I’m showing up this time, so how could it possibly be a one-man show for him?" ]
[ Ancient One (Earth-616): "..." ]
[ .....]
『 But facing this kind of sudden attack, Thanos was already prepared.
With a deafening explosion, "BOOM—!" the entire massive satellite shattered into countless tiny particles, scattered everywhere under the dazzling purple light of the Power Stone.
Immediately after, the Infinity Gauntlet flashed with another light—this time it was the crimson color of the Reality Stone.
"HAH!!!" Accompanied by a roar from Thanos, he waved his gloved left hand gently, and the debris fragments that were dancing in the sky actually turned into countless bizarre birds, speeding away in all directions.
At this moment, the Reality Stone displayed its astonishing power...
Just when Thanos thought only Doctor Strange remained, a blob of unknown sticky substance suddenly fell from the sky, pasting directly over his eyes. 』

[ Peter Parker (Earth-???): "Is this... my attack?" ]..
[ Peter Parker (Earth-???): "How am I involved in this, anyway? My world doesn’t even have an Avengers Alliance or anything like that." ]
[ .....]
『 Before he could react, an alien man wielding dual blades had approached silently, his gaze fixed dead on Thanos’s legs.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his ankles, forcing this powerful warrior to kneel on one knee.
At the same time, Doctor Strange used this opportunity to quickly open a portal, appearing in front of Thanos.
The magical power in his hands instantly condensed into a blade flashing with dazzling light, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
As the old saying in the trade goes, ’A mage who can’t fight melee isn’t a real mage.’
After a brief and intense clash, Thanos relied on his exquisite combat skills to kick the alien warrior flying with one foot.
Subsequently, he effortlessly blocked the magic sword chopping towards him with a single hand.
Immediately after, he forcefully tore off the sticky substance on his face and, in his anger, kicked fiercely at Doctor Strange.
Fortunately, Doctor Strange had already taken precautions, forming a sturdy energy shield around his body.
Despite this, Doctor Strange was still forced to retreat several steps after taking this hit.
However, just then, another figure was slowly approaching, stepping on the magic circles Doctor Strange had set up earlier.
That person was wearing equipment that looked like a gas mask, obviously another character here to cause trouble for Thanos.
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
"BANG—!"
Several gunshots rang out almost simultaneously. The two powerful energy guns in Peter Quill’s hands continuously sprayed beams of light, all hitting the target—Thanos’s body.
For Peter, regardless of whether this person was his father-in-law or not, it couldn’t cover up the fact that the other party had taken away his beloved Gamora.
One must know, Peter not only possessed the resounding name ’Star-Lord,’ but also bore a more awe-inspiring title: ’Dad-Slayer.’
From his adoptive father to his biological father, and now to this so-called father-in-law in name, it seemed there were no other father figures left for Peter to give such special care to... 』

[ Peter Jason Quill (Earth-616): "??" ]..
[ Rocket Raccoon (Earth-616): "So you have this title, huh~" ]
[ Peter Jason Quill (Earth-616): "This is slander! THIS IS DEFINITELY SLANDER!!!" ]

『 Star-Lord suddenly flipped over, performing a beautiful jump in the air, and accurately planted a time bomb on Thanos’s back.
Immediately after, a portal opened by Doctor Strange slowly appeared behind him, and Star-Lord leaped into that mysterious gateway without hesitation.
"BOOM—!"
Just the moment Star-Lord entered the portal, the time bomb exploded on Thanos’s back. However, although the explosion resounded all around, Thanos’s body did not suffer a scratch of damage.
His defense was simply indestructible, just like Saitama dealing with Boros; no matter what kind of attack, it was ineffective against him.
Witnessing all this, Doctor Strange felt very anxious. He quickly ordered his Cloak of Levitation: "Don’t let him close his fist!"
As the signature equipment of the Sorcerer Supreme through the generations, this magic cloak was naturally not an ordinary garment; it possessed extraordinary magical power and could understand its master’s words.
After obeying the command, the magical cloak instantly left Doctor Strange’s body, flying towards Thanos’s position like lightning, and then tightly wrapped around Thanos’s left hand, wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, like an inescapable chain.
Facing this sudden change, Thanos didn’t know what to do for a moment.
No matter how he struggled, even using all his strength to try and break free from this cloak that seemed to possess incredible power, it was futile.
It felt like being stuck with super glue, completely unable to shake off the restraint.
Just as Thanos was racking his brains to find a solution, unbeknownst to him, multiple portals leading to different dimensions silently appeared around him, and a larger-scale, more soul-stirring battle was about to kick off...
Immediately after...
A figure wearing a spider suit shuttled back and forth through the spatial magic cast by Doctor Strange, moving so fast it was dazzling.
"Magic! More magic! Magic with a kick!" The voice was young and full of vitality; one could tell upon hearing it that this was a young man full of vigor. 』

[ Peter Parker (Earth-616): "Is this my voice?" ]
[ Tony Stark (Earth-616): "It seems you are the one from our world. The one on the screen is you." ]

[ Peter Parker (Earth-???): "Another... me?" ]

『 Thanos seemed to have already predicted Spider-Man’s next appearance location.
The instant Spider-Man popped out of the portal, he grabbed the other party by the neck.
The current Thanos was burning with rage; these people, constantly toying with him, had truly pushed him past his limits.
"Insect!" He roared, ruthlessly throwing the Spider-Man in his hand toward Doctor Strange, who was busy casting spells nearby.
Accompanied by a violent collision sound, Doctor Strange and Spider-Man rolled into a ball.
And the powerful magic that Doctor Strange was about to complete was thoroughly interrupted by this sudden impact.
"And you, this wretched blanket!" The enraged Thanos struck again, ripping off Doctor Strange’s signature red cloak and throwing it far away.
That magical cloak seemed to sense Thanos’s killing intent and immediately flew away autonomously to escape the danger zone.
Just then, Iron Man arrived at the scene in the nick of time.
His nano-armor rapidly transformed into multiple small flight devices, dropping one small bomb after another toward Thanos standing below.
In an instant, hundreds of explosives surrounded Thanos and detonated in succession. The massive roar and scorching flames enveloped the entire area.
Even standing in a relatively safe place, Doctor Strange and the others could still feel the sensation of being roasted transmitted through the air; the heat wave was simply too ferocious!
Looking at the massive fireball rising into the sky, Doctor Strange and the others did not show relaxed expressions; they all knew this battle was far from over. 』

〜Marvel Cinematic Universe〜
Stark Industries—
When Tony Stark saw his future self appear, wearing a suit of armor he couldn’t understand at all, but was incredibly cool.
He asked directly.
"JARVIS, if I want to manufacture these two suits, about how long will it take? Calculate it for me."
"Sir, according to my calculations, with the current technological conditions in the world, it is temporarily impossible to create such equipment."
"After analysis, I found that these two suits not only use nanotechnology but also contain some special metal materials we have never seen before."
Tony Stark did not feel discouraged after hearing this; instead, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, in that case, have JARVIS record all the relevant data first,"
He said calmly, already starting to conceive new research plans in his mind.
.....
『 Not much time passed.
Thanos, in the center of the sea of fire, suddenly extended his left arm...
The endless fire instantly vanished as if encountering some powerful suction force.
Subsequently, under Thanos’s control, the light of the Infinity Stones surged, and a more terrifying energy turned into a pillar of monstrous flames that sprayed out.
Facing this sudden attack, Iron Man couldn’t dodge in time and was eventually blown down along with the entire building.
Seeing the bad situation, Spider-Man immediately used his webs to approach the enemy at high speed and decisively delivered a fierce strike to that glowing gauntlet.
However, just as he was preparing to retreat, he suddenly realized that the spider line entangled around his feet for movement was unexpectedly grabbed by someone—it was Thanos!
The latter used near-brute force to forcibly pull the little spider to him and smashed a fist ruthlessly onto his forehead...
But just as Thanos wanted to press his advantage, a small spaceship of unknown origin suddenly approached quickly from a distance and mercilessly crashed head-on into the most terrifying villain in the universe...
Thanos slowly climbed up from the ground. Before he could stand steady, he felt a fierce wind rushing toward his face. Immediately after, a figure quickly charged and collided with him.
"Skrrrt~" With a sharp sound, although it failed to break Thanos’s powerful defense, it still caused his figure to sway for several steps.
When he saw clearly who was attacking him, he couldn’t help but say, "Oh, look who it is."
Standing before him was his former adopted daughter—Nebula. At this moment, she tightly gripped the electro-shock batons in her hands, her expression so cold it made one shudder.
"You should have killed me!" Her voice was filled with rage and unwillingness.
However, facing such a direct challenge, Thanos did not get angry but instead said calmly, "That would have been a waste of parts."
This sentence was like a sharp blade cutting open the unhealed wound at the bottom of Nebula’s heart. No matter how hard she tried to calm her emotions, it was to no avail.
Thus, filled with resentment, she charged at Thanos like a beast that had lost its reason, not forgetting to demand during the fierce battle, "Where is Gamora!!"
Unexpectedly, these few short words stirred up an indescribable, massive anger deep within Thanos’s heart.
In an instant, he lost control, landing a heavy punch on Nebula, ruthlessly throwing her entire body into the ruins.
At the same time, Doctor Strange, floating in mid-air observing the situation, saw things developing to such an intense state and had to take immediate action to stop it all.
He quickly waved his arms, generating several magical energy chains at his fingertips that were red like flames and resembled octopus tentacles, rapidly wrapping around Thanos’s hand that controlled the Infinity Gauntlet, attempting to forcibly snatch it away. 』

『 When Doctor Strange’s magic tightly entangled Thanos’s left hand, all the heroes swarmed up, joining the battle one after another.
Star-Lord decisively threw a device at Thanos.
Upon landing, the device immediately released a powerful electromagnetic force, firmly pinning Thanos’s right hand as well.
On the other side, Spider-Man quickly swung his webs, flexibly approaching Thanos, and joined forces with Iron Man to snatch the Infinity Gauntlet from his left hand.
And during this period, Mantis displayed her unique mind control ability, successfully putting Thanos into a semi-conscious state, causing this powerful enemy to temporarily lose the ability to move. 』

[ Kiryu Sento (Kamen Rider): "I have a feeling this won’t end so easily... There will definitely be variables next." ]
[ Kiryu Sento (Kamen Rider): "Even if they really take the glove off, how should they deal with the four stones inside?" ]
[ Tony Stark (Earth-616): "This..." ]
[ .....]
『 Just as everyone was discussing spiritedly, an accident happened again—it turned out that after learning the news of Gamora’s tragic death, Star-Lord completely broke down.
Ignoring the dissuasion of those around him, he picked up his energy gun and fired madly at the drowsy Thanos.
Although he was eventually forcibly stopped by Iron Man, due to this sudden disturbance, Thanos, who had already recovered some consciousness, began to slowly wake up from his dazed state...
All of this happened faster than lightning; in the blink of an eye, the situation that originally seemed like victory was in sight became precarious. 』
