Marvel: Little Genius - Chapter: 444 (Patreon)

At the critical moment, to the surprise of all the superheroes, Tony unexpectedly rushed out ahead, confronting Thanos with the body of a mere mortal.

He swiftly leaped, arriving in front of Thanos.

Then, exerting force with both hands, he forcefully pulled apart Thanos's closing fingers, preventing him from using the power of the Infinity Stones.

However, even with the state-of-the-art nanotech suit, Tony couldn't possibly be a match for Thanos, who was empowered by all six Infinity Stones.

With just two simple straight punches, Tony, who had tangled with him, was sent flying back, as if swatting away an annoying fly effortlessly.

"You can't stop me; all of this should end now!"

Having said that, without further delay, he immediately joined his two fingers, and a crisp sound echoed throughout the silent battlefield.

But to the surprise of Thanos, the Avengers, and everyone on their side, after the snap, nothing happened. The universe did not witness the end Thanos had spoken of.

It was only then that Thanos noticed an unusual feeling from the pseudo-Infinity Gauntlet on his hand. He quickly looked at the back of the gauntlet—

All six Infinity Stones had vanished into thin air. No wonder the snap just now did not yield the intended results.

Without the power of the Infinity Stones, the snap he just performed was nothing more than an ordinary snap.

It was only because Thanos was quite strong that the sound may have traveled a bit farther.

"It's you!" Coming to his senses, Thanos immediately directed his gaze towards Tony, who was knocked down by him to the side.

The only one who had come into contact with him after he obtained the six Infinity Stones and had the opportunity to steal the stones from the gauntlet was Tony, who had just tangled with him.

Sure enough, at this moment, Tony weakly knelt on the ground, supporting his upper body with one arm, looking at Thanos.

Although his face wore a serious expression, there was a hint of a victorious smile. When he raised his right hand and exposed the back of it to everyone, the six missing Infinity Stones were firmly embedded in his nanotech suit.

As it turned out, in the moments of entanglement with Thanos, Tony not only prevented him from snapping but also diverted his attention.

Seizing this opportunity, he skillfully snatched the Infinity Stones from Thanos's hand and embedded them into his own nanotech suit.

Given Tony's already heavily injured mortal body, how could he withstand the energy backlash from the six Infinity Stones!

From Tony's unpleasant complexion and weakened body, it is evident how intense the pain he is currently enduring.

Even though the advanced nanotech suit has alleviated some of the pressure, continuing like this would undoubtedly cause irreparable harm to Tony's body.

However, this seemingly weakened mortal, at this moment, evoked admiration in the hearts of everyone present.

"You said not to go all out, but in the end, you are more willing to sacrifice than anyone else..."

Watching all this happen before his eyes, Captain, who is powerless to intervene, can only show a bitter smile in helplessness.

Based on the friendship between him and Tony, he already knows what Tony wants to do now. Once he succeeds, although it will end the current crisis in the entire universe, it will also cost him his own life.

Not only Captain, but all the members of the Avengers also discern Tony's intentions, giving rise to profound sadness.

However, faced with the gazes of admiration, sorrow, and dissuasion from everyone, Tony's eyes remain unaffected.

For Tony, who has always been extremely proud, he doesn't need others' opinions to influence his actions and judgments.

With a determined gaze, Tony looks at the only enemy before him—Thanos, mimicking the latter's recent actions.

Joining his two fingers, he utters, "I am Iron Man!"

Snap!

In an instant, the snap occurs, and the energy from the Infinity Stones erupts. Thanos's body, like the life wiped out in the universe five years ago, turns into ashes without any resistance.

At this moment, no one notices that, besides Thanos, there is another figure that has disappeared in this battlefield at some unknown time...
