Wakanda.

RRUMBLE!!

Ultimate Way Big's hundred-and-fifty-meter body hit the earth under the combined weight of Space Chains and Power Stone gravity. The impact shook the continent harder than the meteor shower had. Dust swallowed the sky.

"It's over."

Thanos clenched the Gauntlet. The Power Stone blazed — preparing a blast capable of cracking the Earth's crust, aimed at the fallen giant's chest.

"Die."

Purple destruction lanced toward Ultimate Way Big—

Green flash.

The 150-meter target vanished. In its place — a green insect the size of a fingernail.

Nanomech.

"Can't hit what you can't see!"

Jake — microscopic, invisible to the naked eye — dodged the Power Stone beam by existing on a scale it wasn't calibrated for. Then he accelerated toward Thanos's face at maximum speed.

"Petty tricks..." Thanos reached for the Reality Stone—

Green flash. Two meters from Thanos's face.

Big Chill.

Blue ghost. Intangible. Jake phased through Thanos's blocking arm, through his chest, through his body — and as he passed through, Big Chill's extreme cold detonated inside the Titan's torso.

Not enough to freeze his heart. Enough to make him stiffen — one precious second of locked muscles and sluggish reflexes.

"NOW! MOVE!!" Jake roared through the comms.

The Avengers attacked from every angle.

"FOR WAKANDA!!"

T'Challa and Steve hit from left and right — plasma shields slashing at Thanos's knee pits, vibranium claws raking his thigh. Tony rained micro-missiles from above. Wanda's Chaos Magic became a red psionic storm drilling into Thanos's mind.

Perfect coordination. Against any other enemy, this would have been the killing blow.

But four Infinity Stones don't play by those rules.

"A bunch of... INSECTS!!"

Thanos recovered. Endured the cold. Endured the psychic intrusion. And chose the weapon none of them could defend against.

Not purple. Not blue.

Orange.

Soul Stone.

"KNEEL!!"

A soul-level shockwave erupted — centered on Thanos, expanding in every direction. Not a physical force. Not energy. Something that bypassed every defense ever built by hitting the one thing that couldn't be armored.

The soul.

Steve collapsed — eyes rolled, body limp. T'Challa hit the ground beside him. Tony's armor went dead and fell from the sky. Wanda spat blood, spirit shattered.

The entire field — cleared in one pulse.

Two figures remained standing.

White Vision — a vibranium AI with no traditional soul. The Soul Stone found nothing to hit.

Jake — kneeling, nose bleeding, the Omnitrix glowing pink as Pesky Dust's genetic code automatically shielded his consciousness from soul disruption.

"Soul attack..." Jake wiped blood. "That's really cheating."

"Now — no interruptions."

Thanos walked toward White Vision. Ignored the laser beams Vision fired — the Power Stone absorbed them without breaking stride.

"Give me the Stone."

His hand closed around Vision's neck. Lifted him.

"Irresistible force detected..." Vision's logic remained clear even as his upgraded vibranium body creaked under the Gauntlet's grip.

"LET HIM GO!" Jake surged forward—

Space imprisonment. Thanos froze him with a gesture, without looking.

"Watch, Earthling. This is destiny."

Thanos's finger found Vision's forehead — the indentation where the Mind Stone had been.

Empty.

Thanos went still.

"Where is the Stone?"

A flicker of something almost human crossed White Vision's grey face. Something that, on anyone else, would have been called a smirk.

"In... that box."

He pointed — laboriously, through the crushing grip — at the inconspicuous black box on the ground twenty meters away.

Thanos hurled Vision aside and strode toward it.

One Stone away from completion. The Mind Stone, then the Time Stone, then the Snap.

His fingers reached for the box—

The sky split open.

No clouds. But thunder came first.

RRRRUMBLE————!!!

A rainbow beam — the Bifrost, concentrated to a weapon, carrying the force of a god's homecoming — struck the ground between Thanos and the box with world-breaking impact.

Thanos was blasted backward thirty meters.

Where the rainbow light faded—

A battle-axe. New-forged. Crackling with lightning so intense it turned the rain to steam. It whistled through the air and returned to its owner's hand.

Stormbreaker.

The man caught it.

Short hair. One eye. Red cape. Surrounded by thunder more violent than anything he'd ever produced — because this wasn't the borrowed power of a hammer. This was the full, unfiltered fury of the God of Thunder, channeled through a weapon forged in a dying star.

Thor.

Beside him — Rocket with a gun too large for his body, and Groot stretching his branches, ready for war.

Thor's single eye burned. He looked at Thanos, and the roar that had been building across an entire arc finally erupted:

"THANOS!!!"

"BRING ME THANOS!!"

SZZZT — BOOM!!

Thor leaped — Stormbreaker wreathed in continent-splitting lightning — and brought it down on the Mad Titan's head.

At the same time, Jake — freed from spatial imprisonment the instant Thanos's concentration broke — smiled.

"Finally."

He slammed the Omnitrix.

"Omnitrix — FEEDBACK!"

Black conductive skin. Plug antennae. Golden fingertips.

But Jake didn't aim at Thanos.

He aimed at Thor.

"THOR! CHARGE ME UP!!"

Feedback spread his arms and antennae toward the descending God of Thunder — a living lightning rod inviting the storm.

Thor understood instantly.

The super-bolt — enough to illuminate half the Earth — didn't all go to Thanos. Half of it forked and struck Feedback dead center.

"YESSSSS!!!"

Feedback — already the ultimate energy absorber — filled with the full awakened power of a Thunder God. His black body turned blinding white. Every circuit overloaded. Every conductor blazed.

The next second.

Stormbreaker's physical edge from the right.

Feedback's amplified Thor's Wrath from the left.

Axe and lightning — divine weapon and alien evolution — converging on Thanos from both sides simultaneously.

"BOOM——————!!!!"
