Chapter 164: Collecting the Six Infinity Stones

Seeing Thanos sitting slumped on the ground, Ye Bai didn't rush to kill him immediately.

"You are a hero, and even as an opponent, I admit you are a good opponent."

Looking at Thanos, Ye Bai said slowly.

This sentence was completely sincere and not false at all.

Maybe Ye Bai didn't agree with Thanos' ideals, but he had to respect this opponent.

Thanos was a hero, and a very charismatic hero at that.

Otherwise, his subordinates would not be so desperate, and those Vanguard troops would not stand in front of Thanos as if death were their home.

Based on this alone, Thanos deserved Ye Bai's respect. Although, this did not mean that Ye Bai would let Thanos go.

"Thank you. I'm honored to be recognized as your opponent!"

Thanos also slowly said to Ye Bai, with a very sincere tone.

Although Thanos lost in this decisive battle and there was no suspense about his loss.

However, this did not prevent Thanos from respecting Ye Bai as well.

After all, Ye Bai did not play any tricks, nor did he use external forces.

Rather, he relied on his own strength and destroyed his plan in a dignified and honorable manner.

How could such a powerful person not be respected?

"It's just a pity that there is no chance for my ideal to be realized in the end."

"I have lost too much for this ideal, but I lost at the last step."

"If you were not on the earth, I would not lose."

Thanos said unwillingly.

He was very calm, but also unwilling. There was no conflict between these two points.

It was understandable for him to be reluctant. After all, he had paid so much price and even personally killed his adopted daughter, whom he cared about the most, but ultimately failed.

It could be said that Thanos gave everything for his ideal.

He was not a dreamer who made empty promises, but a man of action who will put in every effort to realize his dreams.

If there was no Ye Bai, Thanos really would have succeeded. "Avengers 3" could actually be called "Thanos 1".

Moreover, Thanos did not collect the Six Infinity Stones for his selfish desires.

This could be seen from the fact that without the slightest emotion, he chose to destroy half of the life in the universe randomly.

And after achieving his ideal, he did not covet the power of the Infinity Stones. Instead, he directly destroyed the six Infinity Stones.

It could be seen that everything he did was not for Infinity Stones, but his ideal.

The Infinity Stones were just a tool for him to achieve his ideal.

Based on this alone, Thanos was qualified enough to gain Ye Bai's respect.

But now, this hero's life was about to end. From now on, Thanos would completely withdraw from the stage of the Marvel Universe with his ideal.

"It's all over, and you have no more chances to come back."

"As an opponent, I will kill you with my own hands to show my respect for you!"

Ye Bai said to Thanos with a serious expression.

Although he was an opponent, Ye Bai was still willing to show respect to Thanos.

He was unlike the rest of those who died in Ye Bai's hands, and he did not even bother to look at them more than once.

Thanos also accepted his fate. He didn't struggle anymore and calmly accepted it.

With nostalgic eyes, he looked at the scenery on the earth, looked at the cruel battlefield, and looked at the setting sun.

"If you can, I hope you can help me do what I haven't done. This is for the universe. Only balance can make the universe survive."

Thanos said to Ye Bai in an almost pleading tone.

He hoped Ye Bai could fulfill his ideals and do what he failed to do.

However, Ye Bai didn't respond. He didn't care about Thanos' ideals at all.

Not that he thought Thanos' ideal was wrong, but he was too lazy to do it.

Even if the universe blew up, what did it have to do with him?

With Ye Bai's strength, even if the universe restarted, it wouldn't have any effect on him.

By the way, Ye Bai could also protect Hela and Asgard.

So, why should Ye Bai bother if the universe would be destroyed because of expansion?

He was not a superhero, nor was he a messenger of justice, so he was too lazy to do it.

Without answering Thanos' request, Ye Bai's eyes glowed, and then he shot a super hot ray and killed Thanos.

This Overlord, who had been in the universe for many years, had finally died today.

He died while fighting for his ideals.

"It's over. Thanos is no more."

Ye Bai said indifferently, and Hela nodded.

With the death of Thanos, Nidavellir was finally avenged.

Those dwarves who were massacred by Thanos could finally rest in peace.

Then, Hela came to Thanos' body and took the last two Infinity stones from Thanos' Infinity gauntlet.

They were the Power Stone and the Soul Stone. So far, Hela has collected all six Infinity Stones.

Now she only needed to build an Infinity Gauntlet, then Hela would gain power second only to the five gods.

As for why did she not take Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet, it was because in the previous battle, Hela had almost cut Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet into pieces.

"Let's go, everything is over."

Ye Bai looked at the dead Thanos and the cruel battlefield not far away and suddenly lost his interest.

Ever since his first meeting with Thanos, he had always thought that one day he would kill Thanos himself.

But now that Thanos died in his hands, Ye Bai was confused for a moment.

It was like accomplishing a goal and then not being able to find the next one for a while.

However, this confusion was short-lived, and Ye Bai quickly recovered.

Then Ye Bai took Hela's hand, opened a space channel, and disappeared from the battlefield.

Only the dead Thanos and countless corpses who died on the battlefield were left.

At the same time, the Vanguard troops on the battlefield were almost gone.

The soldiers of the Vanguard Army had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage after Asgard entered the war.

By now, they were just fighting against the odds, so one could imagine that they would soon be wiped out.

The superhero group did not need to fight anymore. They only needed to recover slowly.

In the distant S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Nick Fury watched the situation on the battlefield through the satellite video screen.

Looking at the corpses, Nick Fury's eyes dimmed. He was sad for those who passed away.

In this battle, humans were definitely not the winners.

Although Thanos' Army was about to be destroyed, humans had also paid a great price.

Not only all the armies were wiped out, but even the superheroes who took part in the battle suffered heavy losses.

The Human Torch of The Fantastic Four, the good friend of Captain America, Winter Soldier, and the War Machine Colonel Rhodes…

Many superheroes had sacrificed their lives because of this war.

That's how the war was. It was absolutely brutal.

Even if it was a superhero, if they were careless, they would die.

And Ye Bai's presence resulted in these superheroes having lost their halo. They could no longer turn misfortune into fortune, instead, they would bleed and sacrifice.
