Energy converges, and the six Infinity Stones resonate with each other, triggering a massive surge of energy that instantly produces a tremendous backlash.
However, Tony feels nothing because all the damage has now transferred to Mark, who is attached to his body.
Mark has borne the cost of using the Infinity Stones on behalf of Tony, allowing him to smoothly snap his fingers.
Snap!
As the snap occurs, the onlookers, gazing at Tony, only feel a dazzling burst of intense light, forcing them to close their eyes.
It seems like an instant, yet it feels like a long time. Under the radiance of this light, people feel as if they are immersed in a warm pool.
Their entire bodies are supported by a gentle force, accompanied by a soft breeze caressing their faces.
Having no idea how long they've been in this state, when everyone opens their eyes again, the once-ruined battlefield has transformed.
Or more accurately, it has returned to its original state.
The lands bombed by Thanos's cosmic warship show no signs of scorching or burning. The cement-paved roads and lush green lawns have been restored to their original appearance.
Even the collapsed base buildings, like the ground beneath everyone's feet, show no traces of the recent destruction. It's as if they never experienced a fierce battle.
The changes don't stop there. Upon regaining consciousness, everyone realizes that the injuries and losses they suffered in the fierce battle against the enemy have all been restored.
Even Captain America's Vibranium shield that was shattered by Thanos, has returned to its intact state.
As for Thanos, who was surrounded by them, and the countless bio-soldier corpses on the battlefield, have all vanished without a trace. Even the cosmic warship that was knocked down by Captain Marvel left no trace.
However, in the split second before their vision was blinded by that burst of light, they vaguely saw Thanos and everything he brought to Earth, under the power of the Infinity Stones, disintegrating just like they suffered five years ago, turning into ashes. Now, they are scattered by the wind, and no one knows where they have gone.
Witnessing this scene, whether it's warriors from Wakanda, Sorcerers from Kamar-Taj, Gods from Asgard, or mercenaries from the cosmos, at this moment, members of various races and origins embrace each other, celebrating this hard-earned victory with great joy.
Having personally witnessed Dr. Banners' suffering from previous snap, the Avengers rushed to Tony's side in the first moment, watching him with deep concern.
"How are you, Tony?" Rhodey, being a close friend, was the first to rush to Tony's side, eagerly inquiring.
Pepper, Captain, Spider-Man, and others quickly followed, equally eager to know Tony's current condition.
Instead of answering immediately, Tony transformed his nanotech armor into a sphere, encapsulating and sealing the six Infinity Stones. Only then did he smile at everyone:
"Don't worry, not only am I fine, but I also feel very good now. All the injuries on my body have completely healed. But Mark... How about you, Mark? If you're fine, come out!"
It was at this moment that everyone realized Mark had unknowingly disappeared from their sight, and no one noticed.
Suddenly, a faint stream of light appeared on Tony's body. Lasting only a second, it abruptly shattered, turning into countless points of light that scattered from him.
However, the scattered light points didn't disappear. As if pulled by some force, they gradually converged, forming a massive ball of light.
The light ball then continuously changed in front of everyone's eyes, slowly transforming into a cylinder, branching out, and ultimately evolving into a human-shaped light shadow.
Once the humanoid light shadow took shape, the radiance gradually dissipated. At this point, everyone noticed that this peculiar light mass was none other than Mark!
However, Mark's current state wasn't particularly good; his complexion was very pale, and his eyes lacked vitality.
Evidently, even Mark, who had completed the transformation of soul materialization, had to pay a considerable price when facing the backlash from the Infinity Stones, a cosmic treasure.
But for Mark, bearing this cost himself was undoubtedly a more suitable choice than letting Tony endure it.
"I'm fine, just expended a lot of magical and mental energy to resist the enormous power burst of the Infinity Stones. I'm a bit weak for now, but nothing serious. Don't worry," Mark managed to force a smile, calming everyone's concerns.
Hearing Mark's reassurance, Tony also relaxed, then had a whimsical thought and asked, "How about going for some shawarma? We've achieved victory."
Upon hearing Tony's suggestion, the original members of the Avengers shared a knowing smile, evidently understanding the joke Tony had thrown out.
However, the newcomers who joined later were puzzled, looking at each other, not daring to ask.
Only Baymax quietly approached Mark at this time, expressing concern in his tone, "Master, are you really okay?"
Mark looked at Baymax, frowned slightly, and shook his head, not directly answering Baymax's question...
