Unexpectedly, Thanos' massive body was extremely agile; with a single flash, he dodged Iron Man's attack.
Thanos stretched out his hand, effortlessly caught the short spear Iron Man had thrust, snapped it in two, and immediately counter-thrust it back.
After long battles, Iron Man's suit was already riddled with holes, and Thanos' strike just happened to hit a spot with no armor protection.
["Ah!"]
With a scream, Iron Man's abdomen was pierced through by his own short spear.
Stunned, Iron Man felt his strength drain rapidly. He staggered two steps back and involuntarily sank down onto the rubble.
Watching this scene on the screen, Tony Stark furrowed his brows, his expression darkening.
This purple-skinned monster was insanely powerful.
How on earth could he be defeated?!
At that moment, the footage on the screen suddenly froze. The system's emotionless voice sounded again.
[Ding! A new Q&A begins]
[Question: Who, and by what means, rescued Iron Man from Thanos' grasp?]
Hearing the question, Loki frowned slightly and glanced at Tony Stark.
It seemed the little mustache guy wasn't doomed after all—he had been rescued in the end.
Damn it. Why didn't he have such luck?
Just thinking of the previous footage where "he" had his neck twisted by Thanos made Loki feel utterly frustrated.
[Thor: Loki, what are you thinking? The answer is obvious.]
[Loki Odinson: What? You know the answer?]
[Thor: Hahaha, of course! Who else could defeat Thanos and save all of you if not me? ]
Hearing this, Loki first curled his lips in a smirk, but his expression quickly grew serious.
According to the hints from previous Q&As, Thor indeed survived in the future!
And judging by his big, straightforward personality, he would definitely take revenge on Thanos.
Looking at the screen, Tony was completely defeated, Strange was gravely injured and unconscious, and the rest of the motley crew were hopeless.
In such a situation, the only hope might be Thor coming to save the day.
Thinking of how he had hesitated just a little and let Strange answer first, Loki didn't hesitate this time and said:
"It was Thor who came to rescue and saved Iron Man!"
[Ding! Loki Odinson's answer is incorrect.]
[Random punishment awarded: One-third of Loki's magic power erased, effective immediately.]
"Ugh… it was wrong! Damn you brother."
Feeling a portion of his magic stripped away again, Loki's expression darkened to the extreme.
Seeing this, Stephen Strange shook his head slightly and attempted to answer:
"It should be that Strange woke up and used magic to save Tony."
[Ding! Stephen Strange's answer is incorrect.]
[Random punishment awarded: Half of Stephen Strange's livestream coins erased, effective immediately.]
"What? Even livestream coins can be erased?"
Strange's mouth gaped open, his face blank with shock.
He had answered correctly twice and earned 200 livestream coins, but now only 100 remained.
Seeing Loki and Strange in such a sorry state, Tony snapped coldly:
"I don't need anyone to save me! I think… I saved myself!"
[Ding! Tony Stark's answer is incorrect.]
[Random penalty awarded: One‑third of Stark Industries' shares erased, effective immediately.]
"What the hell?"
Tony clenched his teeth, a flicker of doubt crossing his face.
This is wrong, that is wrong — what actually is the right answer?
By now three of the four in the livestream had failed to answer; only Peter Parker was left.
After thinking for a moment, Peter answered timidly:
"Maybe everyone present joined hands and together drove Thanos off and rescued Mr. Stark."
[Ding! Peter Parker's answer is incorrect.]
[Random penalty awarded: Publicly say the name of your favorite girl, repeated ten times!]
"What? That kind of punishment?"
Peter stared in disbelief and instinctively clapped a hand over his mouth.
But driven by an unstoppable force, he found himself blurting out:
"My favorite girl is Gwen Stacy!"
"Gwen Stacy!"
"It's Gwen—"
Watching Peter blush and shout repeatedly, Tony shook his head and chuckled.
Youth is something else.
Loki muttered to himself nearby:
"What kind of punishment is that? I've already had two‑thirds of my magic stripped away!"
When Peter finally finished, Tony and Strange exchanged a look—each seeing the other's hesitation.
Now… it seemed nobody could answer the question. What next?
At that moment the system's voice rang out again:
[Ding! All four people in the livestream have answered incorrectly!]
[Initiating emergency protocol…]
[Inviting new participants to join the livestream.]
[Searching…]
[New participant identified… Wanda Maximoff!]
[Invitation sent!]
