Chapter 258 - Thanos Snaps, Killing Half of Earth’s Population

"Yes! That's the me I know! I told you so!"

Thor, the God of Thunder, pointed excitedly at the big screen, yelling out loud, his pride brimming. "Six Stones? Thanos doesn't stand a chance! One swing and he's done for!"

"Amazing… truly amazing! So awesome!" Scott Lang couldn't help but cheer, completely blown away. "That swing was incredible! No wonder you're the God of Thunder!"

T'Challa, standing beside Scott, showed little reaction.

As for Tony Stark, Captain America, and Doctor Strange, although secretly impressed by Thor's swing, their emotions remained mostly steady.

The swing was powerful, yes, but not enough to send them into an emotional frenzy.

"Ugh!"

On the screen,

Thanos let out a muffled grunt, kneeling halfway to the ground, clearly in pain.

Thor leapt from the air, landing in front of him, eyes locked onto Thanos. "I told you, I would make you pay!"

Back on the Asgardian ship, when Thanos had killed Heimdall, Thor had promised to make him pay.

Now, at this moment, Thor was fulfilling that vow.

After saying those words, he pressed his mighty axe deep into Thanos' body.

"Ah!"

Thanos screamed in agony, barely alive under the assault. Murmuring, he said, "You should… you should… have hit my head instead…"

"No wonder Thor chopped off Thanos' head later!"

Tony Stark suddenly understood, and the others at the scene recalled the events.

When Thanos snapped his fingers and the heroes went after him, Thor had suddenly chopped off his head, even muttering "I chopped his head off" without context.

Ah, so that was the foreshadowing.

Snap!

On the screen,

A faint sound echoed as Thanos, after speaking, raised the Infinity Gauntlet and snapped his fingers.

"No!"

Thor screamed, attempting to stop him.

But it was too late.

A blinding light exploded from the Infinity Gauntlet.

"What did you do? What did you do!" Thor yelled at Thanos in disbelief.

Thanos raised his hand, and a purple energy enveloped him — then he simply vanished.

"Where did he go?" Captain America approached, panting, looking at Thor. "Where did he actually go?"

"Steve!"

Before Thor could answer, Bucky suddenly cried out.

Captain America turned instinctively — Bucky had turned to dust, completely disappearing into nothingness.

Following Bucky, warriors from Wakanda — including T'Challa — Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon (Sam Wilson), and others turned to ash, one after another.

Elsewhere, on Titan,

Mantis, Drax, Star-Lord, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and others also turned to dust, leaving only Tony Stark and Nebula.

"What the heck!" Scott Lang was shocked. "What happened? People just… turned to ashes? That's terrifying!"

T'Challa's pupils narrowed sharply, face reflecting sheer horror.

That purple-faced guy, with a single snap, wiped out so many!This is horrifying!

And all of this happened in Wakanda!

As Wakanda's prince, T'Challa felt waves of panic.

On the screen, on Titan,

"He did it…"

Nebula stood frozen, despair etched across her face.

The screen froze at this scene.

Everyone watching couldn't remain calm.

Even though they knew Thanos had successfully snapped and wiped out half the universe, seeing it firsthand was emotionally overwhelming.

"What's going on? Captain, Stark? That purple-faced guy just wiped out so many people with a single snap? Who even is he?"

Scott Lang asked again, incredulous.

Captain America explained Thanos' "balance the universe" plan in simple terms to Scott and T'Challa.

Both were stunned.

There really was a madman this dangerous in the world?And his mind is seriously twisted!The universe isn't your property — why does overpopulation anywhere affect your planet?

Even if other planets went extinct from population growth, it shouldn't affect you a bit!This guy's just bored and overeating, right?

"What a pity!" Thor shook his head repeatedly, full of regret. "So close… just so close!"

Just a little more and he could've taken down Thanos, fully loaded with six Stones!

"If you'd chopped off his head then, if you hadn't wasted time talking after almost finishing him, and instead grabbed the Gauntlet… yes, Thanos would've ended at your hands!" Tony Stark shrugged. "But alas, there's no 'what if' in this world."

"No worries. I've learned my lesson. Next time I see Thanos, I'll just chop his head off! This will never happen again!" Thor swore.

"No, your lesson should be: when you have a chance to kill your enemy, do it cleanly and decisively. Don't drag it out!" Tony Stark said sternly.

"Well…" Thor shrugged. "That also counts as a lesson, I guess."

"Everyone, the overall timeline of our battle with Thanos is now clear," Captain America began to summarize.

"Starting with the Battle of New York, Thanos collected six Infinity Stones from various places. Then, in Wakanda, he snapped his fingers, wiping out half of all life."

"Afterwards, Thanos secluded himself in the garden and destroyed the Infinity Stones."

"On the surface, Thanos had won, but this was all part of Doctor Strange's plan."

"The surviving superheroes regrouped, retrieved the six Infinity Stones, and restored everyone Thanos had erased."

"And in the Endgame battle, Thanos was ultimately defeated!"

After so many questions, everyone finally understood the full flow of the battle with Thanos.

Truly a twisted, dramatic, epic, and thrilling sequence.

If filmed, it would be a global blockbuster.

[Question: How did Scott Lang steal Hank Pym's signal camouflage prototype from the New Avengers training facility?]

A. Hacked the base's security system and stole the prototypeB. Defeated Falcon (Sam Wilson) guarding the base and took the prototypeC. Shrunk to ant size and silently stole the prototypeD. Created a diversion, drew Falcon away, then stole the prototype

[Hint: Correct answer rewards you with the Expand-Shrink Laser Gun. Wrong answer randomly deducts an attribute, including knowledge, experience, skills, or possessions.]

Everyone discussed briefly, and a new question appeared.

"Scott Lang? That's me? This question is about me?" Scott was caught off guard, then quickly realized, "Oh right, why else would this system drag me in?"

Excited, he glanced at everyone and said, "This is about the future, right? I actually steal something from that base? Wow, I never imagined this! That's really me?"

Even if Scott didn't know what the Avengers base was, he knew a base wasn't ordinary.

His tech skills were decent, his team was competent — especially their computer expert — but stealing from a base? Not a job for a small-time crew like theirs.

Correct.

Scott and T'Challa hadn't heard of the Avengers.

With New York, Sokovia, and other disasters prevented, the Avengers were less known now.

"No, that's not what I mean."

Scott realized something and waved his hands. "I mean… how could I ever steal? I have a Master's degree, you know."

Tony Stark, Captain America, etc., didn't bother correcting him.

"Alright everyone, let's start the quiz!" Captain America said, serious.

"What exactly is the Avengers?" T'Challa asked.

"Simply, it's an alliance of enhanced individuals," Cap explained. "I, Stark, Thor — we're all part of it. Also, it's under S.H.I.E.L.D., the world's largest intelligence agency."

Scott and T'Challa gaped.

A genius billionaire, a super soldier icon, a mythical god — individually, they were untouchable. Together in one alliance? Incredible.

The security level of such a base? Imaginable.

"So A can be ruled out. Sure, I know a top-notch computer expert, but hacking Avengers base? Forget it!" Scott shook his head.

"Indeed, their systems aren't hackable casually," Tony said firmly.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was the world's top intelligence agency. Their bases couldn't be remotely hacked, and an outsider couldn't even approach without being noticed.

Thus, A was dismissed.

Next, attention turned to B.

Cap explained Falcon's identity and abilities.

"Retired paratrooper… and he can fly? Man, I'd never beat him!" Scott shook his head. "Ridiculous. I'm not taking him on — that's suicide."

"For you, yes, but not necessarily in the future," Thor said mysteriously.

"What? I'm strong in the future? Tell me!" Scott's eyes lit up.

"You'll get tech that lets you change your size at will, becoming a superhero: Ant-Man," Strange explained.

"Changing size at will? Interesting tech," T'Challa nodded. "Then C makes sense."

"I'll become a superhero? Ant-Man? Strange, but cool! I like it!" Scott was thrilled.

The question didn't specify when, but given it involved Hank Pym, it happened after Scott became Ant-Man.

"Ant-Man's tactics — shrinking, enlarging — could defeat Falcon. B is plausible," Cap concluded.

C's chance? "Shrinking silently? Hard to do in a heavily guarded base," Strange said.

Without S.H.I.E.L.D., defenses were less tight, so Ant-Man stealing the prototype silently was possible. C remains pending.

D? "Creating a diversion? Falcon's mobility is too high — he could return quickly. Plus, shrinking makes that unnecessary," T'Challa said.

And that left C and D pending decisions.
