A while ago, the moment when Tony displayed the six Infinity Stones in his hand, which is the moment when the attention of the entire audience was drawn. Mark quietly disappeared from the battlefield.
Except for Doctor Strange, no one noticed Mark's sudden disappearance.
To say he disappeared is not entirely accurate; Mark is indeed still standing there, but the people present cannot perceive his existence through their own vision.
Yes, Mark activated the most basic skill he gained after materializing his soul—phasing!
His body transitioned from solid to ethereal, transforming from the material state into the soul state, entering the realm of the soul.
In the soul realm, everything from reality seems like a slow-motion scene, and time is distorted and elongated by the rules between the two spaces.
So, while Tony received the Infinity Stones and snapped in this seemingly brief period, Mark could still leisurely stroll to his side.
However, Mark's arrival is not to stop Tony from snapping the finger that would end the war. On the contrary, he is here to lend a helping hand to his old man.
If Tony were to snap the finger with his own power, he would indeed stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods in the form of a mortal.
However, the mortal body cannot withstand such powerful energy, and Nano Armor is not designed to manipulate the power of the Infinity Stones.
Tony's ultimate fate can only be death from the backlash of this cosmic-level energy, becoming a sacrifice for the victory in this war.
So, Mark's task is quite simple: to take on the energy impact brought by the Infinity Stones on behalf of Tony.
To achieve this, first, he needs to be by Tony's side.
His phased soul crosses space, traverses time, and arrives behind Tony.
At this moment, no one in the scene can see what Mark, in this state, is doing except for one person—
Tony Stark!
Having obtained all six Infinity Stones, he naturally gained the power of the Soul Stone. Even without astral projection, he could see Mark's phased form with the naked eye.
At first, he concentrated all his attention on Thanos and had not yet noticed.
But as Mark arrived behind him, in such close proximity, it became almost impossible not to notice Mark's condition.
But before Tony could ask Mark what he had in mind, Mark took the initiative to speak.
"Dad, you don't need to ask too much. The reason I came here is to lend you a helping hand. With the strength of your body, you can't withstand the energy backlash of the Infinity Stones.
However, before coming to the battlefield, I've already completed the ultimate evolution I've been researching, enough to help you bear the backlash when you snap your fingers.
You just focus on confidently snapping your fingers, and leave the rest to me. My body is immune to energy backlash. As for you, Dad, have you already figured out how to end this final battle?"
After hearing Mark's explanation, Tony nodded. "Rest assured, I've figured out how to end this war. Today, let the two of us, father and son, work together and achieve the final victory for this calamity!"
With that, Tony ended the conversation with Mark through the Soul Stone and prepared to snap his fingers in front of Thanos to fulfill his envisioned wish...
Behind him, Mark had a hint of an expectant smile on his face. "Father and son working together... This is truly a rare opportunity. In that case, let's stage the most exquisite coordination!"
Then, Mark directly transformed into scattered light, and his originally unified spirit blossomed like fireworks.
Every dispersed spark of light eventually converged toward Tony and formed an invisible luminescence on his body surface.
As this stream of light gathered, Tony felt his body, burdened as if by a thousand pounds, suddenly relax, incredibly light.
The injuries caused by the oppression and burning of the Infinity Stone energy on his body were gradually healing with the gentle and cool airflow.
Under the influence of this airflow, even the previously necrotic cellular tissue quickly regenerated.
This was Mark sharing his potent self-healing ability with Tony through an attached method.
The gentle and cool airflow was, in fact, the powerful magic that Mark obtained through communication from the multiverse, transformed into life energy through his mental power.
With Mark's assistance, Tony, now restored to his peak condition, finally, under the complex gazes of the people on the battlefield, snapped his fingers to reverse the tide and achieve victory!
