The Third Magic went as expected, and just as Mark had anticipated, he ultimately achieved success, smoothly completing the transformation of soul materialization.
Under Baymax's precise operation, this seemingly complex and miraculous process didn't take too long.
In just over ten minutes, Mark completed the transformation, gaining control of the magical network and promptly rushing to the battlefield, turning the tide in the Avengers' favor.
But at this moment, under the surging magical arcs of energy, the sudden appearance of a hand silenced the previously jubilant heroes, leaving them in astonishment.
They all knew who was being suppressed under this magical arc in the center of the battlefield – it was the source of this final battle, and also the culprit behind the tragedy five years ago, Thanos.
Among the members of Thanos' army who had descended upon Earth with him, apart from Gamora, who had switched sides to help the Avengers, everyone else, be it the Black Order generals, the Chitauri warriors, or the Leviathan beasts, had all perished under Mark's unleashed magical arcs, leaving no trace behind.
And Thanos, in the face of this immense energy onslaught, not only successfully withstood it but also donned a gauntlet adorned with six Infinity Stones. How could the superheroes not feel fear!
At this moment, all those who had experienced the battle on Titan five years ago were filled with terror and despair in their hearts.
The scene before them inadvertently reminded them of the snap that had erased half of the universe's life.
And today, the Thanos they faced was even more ruthless and merciless. He intended to completely obliterate this entire universe, then recreate and reboot the era.
Even Mark, at this moment, felt a profound sense of crisis emanating from the magical arcs.
This indicated that even though Mark had completed the soul materialization through the Third Magic, gaining transcendence and evolution, when facing Thanos wielding the six Infinity Stones, he was no longer Thanos' opponent, or rather, he was not a match for those six Infinity Stones.
It's worth noting that the soul materialization achieved through the Third Magic not only allowed Mark to transcend time and space and wield boundless energy but also resulted in various abilities he had gained through technological enhancements undergoing varying degrees of transformation during the shared transformation of his soul and body.
For instance, the super-regeneration ability and high-temperature control obtained through ultimate transformation, after the transformation of soul materialization, the self-regeneration ability solidified into one of Mark's passive abilities.
Whenever his body suffers any damage, it automatically harnesses magical energy from the multiverse to self-repair the injuries.
As for the high-temperature control, it transformed into a superpower that could manipulate thermal energy freely. If Mark wishes, he can transfer heat energy from an object, causing its temperature to drop close to absolute zero. Conversely, he can also accumulate thermal energy from the surrounding space, creating localized super-high temperatures comparable to the surface of the sun.
Similarly, Mark's information-based vision obtained through the extremis virus underwent a certain degree of alteration after completing the soul materialization transformation.
In Mark's visual perception, when he sees anything, it doesn't just provide objective information but also subjective analysis, and even offers corresponding solutions and strategies for specific problems, making it an extremely convenient auxiliary ability.
There's also his acute sixth sense crisis perception ability. Unlike Spider-Man's spider-sense, Mark's sixth sense is more of an ability to analyze information visually and derive tendencies for gain and avoidance.
Additionally, part of it is an innate instinct activated by the super sensing ability acquired after soul materialization.
When Thanos was covered by the magical arcs, his fate uncertain, it was because of this ability continually sending danger signals to Mark that he was able to notice the fact that Thanos hadn't been defeated yet.
At this moment, with Thanos putting on the Pseudo-Infinity Gauntlet and gaining the power boost from the six Infinity Stones, the immense magical energy within the magical network could no longer pose a threat to Thanos.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Thanos instantly severed the connection between Mark and the magical network.
All the magical arcs still shimmering in the battlefield disappeared in an instant, and along with them, all of Thanos' subordinates he had brought to Earth also vanished.
But all of this no longer mattered to Thanos; these subordinates had already fulfilled their mission, contributing all their power to restore ultimate balance to the entire universe.
In Thanos' heart, they were not worth grieving over; instead, it was an honor to have sacrificed for this purpose.
"Now, with just a snap of that decision-making finger, I can completely end this war and reboot the entire universe," Thanos said.
"At this point, your resistance is utterly meaningless because I am... destiny!"
At this moment, despair descended upon the hearts of every hero on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Mark looked towards Doctor Strange in the distance. He saw Doctor Strange's heavily injured left hand trembling as it made a gesture towards Mark.
Through this gesture, Doctor Strange conveyed a message to Mark – the one in 14,000,606 chance of success has now arrived, and whether Mark can seize this opportunity depends on the choice he is about to make.
Success or failure hinges on this moment...
