Inventory of Chaos: Iconic Scenes That Shattered Everyone Instantly Chapter 230: ICISEI Episode 216

Episode 216: AVENGERS!!!! ASSEMBLE...

『 Although he longed to rise imdiately and continue the fight, he was covered in wounds and utterly exhausted, barely managing to maintain his prone position while gasping desperately for breath.

Seeing his opponent in such a wretched state, Thanos did not pursue victory with imdiate slaughter. Instead, he spoke indifferently:

"In all my years of conquest, it was never personal. Upon arriving at any planet, I would employ a random selection chanism to determine the fate of its inhabitants."

"Whether it was the civilization’s supre leader or the lowest beggar, all enjoyed the sa equal opportunity when facing judgnt."

Then, he turned around and continued his narration expressionlessly: "But I’ll tell you now, what I’m about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet... I’m gonna enjoy it. Very, very much."

Having said his piece, he paid no more attention to Captain Arica, who was struggling to stand, and walked straight away, leaving the scarred hero lying alone on the ground...

Suddenly, right at that mont.

A beam of blue energy light flared up violently behind Thanos, as if tearing through space and ti. Cap slowly stood up, his gaze fixed firmly ahead.

Behind Thanos, countless creatures emitting terrifying auras began to erge. That bone-chilling aura of slaughter horrified everyone present.

A massive warship, like a small floating city, hovered in the air. Its gigantic cannons were all aid at the ground, exuding a thick sense of threat.

Below this colossal warship, innurable aircraft and various flying creatures gathered densely, like a vast dark cloud blotting out the sun. They made this world, already shrouded in black smoke, even gloomier; sunlight could not penetrate this oppressive canopy at all.

Under the transport of that blue beam, the massive ship delivered Thanos’s army to the surface like flowing water.

This army advanced like a tsunami; at a glance, it seed almost endless.

These alien legions held various weapons, scanning everything around them with greedy and mad eyes. Among them were the Chitauri army that had once invaded New York, as well as the giant Leviathans they commanded.

Although the current situation looked extrely unfavorable for the Avengers, Cap never had a thought of giving up.

Looking at the boundless enemy forces before him, there was not a trace of fear or retreat in his eyes; his deep blue irises reflected an incomparably resolute look.

He simply tightened the strap of the shield in his hand. Even though his stamina was nearly depleted, he would absolutely not let these monsters destroy this world easily—even if it ant he would be the first line of defense to fall.

"Even against thousands of troops, I will go forward!"

Cap stood alone at the forefront of the battlefield, facing Thanos and his army.

Although the enemy was exceptionally fierce and cruel, retreat was not an option for him. Even facing imnse risk or the possibility of dying at their hands did not matter.

Because behind him were thousands of warm lights, the happiness and hope of countless families... To protect this beautiful and hard-won life, Cap was willing to give everything. 』

[ Boothill (Honkai: Star Rail): "Holy baby, is it one man against such a huge army again?" ]

[ Boothill (Honkai: Star Rail): "What the fudge, why do I have to say ’again’?" ]

[ Ryuga Banjou (Kan Rider): "This is, like, the third ti already, right?" ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Half the people were gone before, and they just barely ca back. He really has to hang in there." ]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "Um, putting this much pressure on him isn’t good, is it?" ]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "The whole world, no, the whole universe resting on one person’s shoulders... that’s just too much." ]

[ Tony Stark (Earth-616): "Truly incredible. The past version of him actually did this." ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "So strange." ]

[ Amber (Genshin Impact): "What’s wrong?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Didn’t they say everyone was resurrected? Why are there only a few people?" ]

[ Kiryu Sento (Kan Rider): "That makes sense." ]

[ .....]

『 Just as Cap was preparing to rush forward and fight desperately against those monsters, a familiar voice rang in his ear.

"Cap, do you read ?"

"Cap, it’s Sam. Can you hear ?"

The voice made him pause slightly. He reached up to his right ear; the sound was coming from his communication device.

"On your left." The voice in the earpiece continued to guide him.

Cap subconsciously turned to his left, and the scene before him left him montarily stunned—a ring of light suddenly appeared in the air, clearly so kind of spatial teleportation spell.

Connected to the other end of this ring was a vast space.

Imdiately after, three familiar figures erged from the ring: Black Panther, War Machine, and Vision.

Cap panted heavily, laughing with a mix of relief and disbelief.

He and Black Panther exchanged glances. Although not a word was spoken, everything was understood.

In truth, how could Cap not be emotional? Anyone with flesh and blood would feel incredibly shaken and moved. 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "Great! They’re resurrected!!" ]

[ Tartaglia (Genshin Impact): "Excellent. Now the real battle can begin." ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "I thought they hadn’t resurrected before, but now they’re all here." ]

[ .....]

『 And at this very mont, grand and stirring background music began to play, sounding the final war song for this climax of a battle—it was the the of The Avengers! As the music swelled, more rings of light began to erge in the air and on the ground.

Countless comrades rushed from all directions to join the battle: Doctor Strange, Star-Lord, Spider-Man, Falcon... They ca from different realms and regions: Asgard, the Ravagers, Kamar-Taj, Wakanda, and Sakaar.

The warriors of Asgard, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, and the gladiators of Sakaar gathered here to stand together against Thanos.

Watching the powerful team of companions gradually assembling around him, Cap summoned Mjolnir, raised it high, and with all his might, roared out that deafening, classic line: "AVENGERS!!!! ASSEMBLE..."

The entire battlefield seed to tremble at his roar. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "AVENGERS!!!! ASSEMBLE..." ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "That line really has so montum." ]

[ Tony Stark (Earth-616): "So, the ’Avengers’ ntioned at the beginning, this is what it ant." ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "To avenge this existence for the sake of humanity?" ]

[ Kaminaga Shinji (Ultraman): "Is that what this phrase ans?" ]

[ .....]

『 With that command, Captain Arica led the charge, and the others followed close behind, eting Thanos’s alien legion head-on.

Facing these enemies who had returned from death, they showed not a shred of fear.

Cap held his shield, charging firmly ahead, and the rest of the Avengers did not flinch.

Thanos pointed his double-bladed sword toward the Avengers, and the swarms of monsters surged like a tide, frantically pouncing on the heroes.

chanical beasts roared, magic flashed, technological beams intertwined, super-powered individuals unleashed their strength, telekinetic waves rippled... The battlefield instantly turned into a giant at grinder, with unimaginable duels playing out in every corner.

Every attack ant the loss of life. In such an environnt, those who walked out alive would be the final victors.

The entire battlefield was like shifting wind and clouds; one second might be imrsed in a magical duel, the next interrupted by bullets or lasers.

None of the combatants knew what would happen next, but they all shared a common conviction: destroy every enemy in front of them, or the next one to fall would be themselves.

Whether on the ground or in the sky, the fires of war perated the entire space.

Ships collided with each other, producing deafening noises;

Valkyrie rode her pegasus, destroying enemy ships one after another, while Iron Man and his wife used the equipnt on their suits to release lethal beams, clearing out enemy vessels.

Thor threw a smaller version of the hamr, knocking down many enemies in one breath, then laughed at Captain Arica running beside him: "Kid, I’m not used to this thing. I need the bigger one!"

After speaking, he exchanged weapons with Cap—Stormbreaker and the mini version of Mjolnir swapped masters in mid-air.

Ant-Man transford into a giant warrior and engaged in a fierce brawl with a Chitauri Leviathan, knocking it to the ground with a single punch.

On the other side, after experiencing countless bitter battles, Iron Man finally saw Spider-Man, Peter Parker, again.

When the young man’s face reappeared before Tony Stark’s eyes, the guilt that had plagued his heart for five years erupted instantly.

"It was my fault, I didn’t protect you..."

But even amidst the fire of war, the chatterbox teenager hadn’t changed his habits, only falling silent suddenly when he was enveloped in Iron Man’s embrace.

At this mont, any amount of words seed superfluous; just being able to fight side-by-side with family was happiness enough.

It was the mont he was hugged by Iron Man that rendered him speechless.

"It’s so good to be back. It feels like everything was worth it!"

Elsewhere, Star-Lord finally found Gamora.

He looked at her affectionately, involuntarily reaching out to touch her face.

"I thought I’d never see you again." Star-Lord’s eyes were full of love, completely failing to notice that this Gamora was not the person he knew.

However, Gamora’s expression grew colder and colder. She suddenly grabbed Star-Lord’s hand and squeezed hard.

Star-Lord scread in pain, his voice almost drowning out the surrounding din.

"Don’t touch ," Gamora shouted angrily, following up with two knee strikes to Star-Lord’s groin.

This was a pain only n could deeply understand. Star-Lord curled up on the ground, clutching the injured area, and said painfully, "You missed the first ti, then got them both the second ti."

Seeing Star-Lord’s dissolute appearance, Gamora turned to the approaching Nebula and asked in confusion: "This is the one? Seriously?"

Nebula glanced at Star-Lord, who was still groaning on the ground, and replied helplessly: "The choices were him or a tree."

"What... tree?" Gamora looked bewildered, tilting her head at Nebula, completely unable to make sense of it. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Tree? What does he an? Is it a person’s na?" ]

[ Rocket Raccoon (Earth-616): "Tree?" ]

[ Rocket Raccoon (Earth-616): "Does she an Groot?" ]

[ Groot (Earth-616): "I am Groot!" ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "It really is a tree?" ]

[ Drax (Earth-616): "A small tree. A very small tree." ]

[ Nahida (Genshin Impact): "A tree lifeform?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Wait, isn’t that the one we saw before? I thought it was a person." ]

[ Gamora (Earth-616): "..." ]

『 anwhile, on this smoke-filled battlefield, there was one person who seed particularly out of place—Hawkeye.

He carried a quiver on his back and tightly gripped the gauntlet embedded with the six Infinity Stones. It was this gauntlet that attracted the fierce firepower of Thanos’s army.

Energy blasts and cannon fire surged from all directions, raining down densely on Hawkeye, leaving him barely able to cope.

"Cap, what do you want to do with this damn thing?" Hawkeye asked for help via the comms while struggling to dodge attacks.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that this small gauntlet involved the fate of the entire universe, he really wanted to throw this hot potato away imdiately.

At this ti, prompted by Ebony Maw, Thanos on the battlefield finally noticed Hawkeye and the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand.

Thanos knew clearly that only by obtaining that gauntlet could he end this war and initiate the new and harmonious universe in his mind—a world grateful for his rule.

With a command from Thanos, Hawkeye imdiately beca a thorn in the eyes of all enemies.

They sward up like enraged beasts, solely to seize that key item concerning life and death.

"Clint, get that gauntlet as far away as possible! Don’t let it fall into their hands!" Captain Arica swung Mjolnir, shouting anxiously to Hawkeye while dispatching the opponents in front of him.

However, Hawkeye shook his head. "These stones have to go back to where they ca from. Otherwise... who knows how much disaster the other parallel tilines will suffer?"

"But the ti machine was already destroyed by Thanos." Cap sighed helplessly, as if watching all hope before his eyes slowly shatter.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Ant-Man had a brainwave. "Wait! We still have a ti machine in the van!"

This discovery was like a ray of light in the darkness, reigniting the team’s fighting spirit.

They quickly formulated a battle plan: Ant-Man and the Wasp would be responsible for repairing the device; the other mbers would do their best to stall for ti until the mission was complete.

However, the two heroes only had ten minutes left to repair the instrunt. During this ti, they not only had to face the stormy attacks of Thanos and his army but also protect that crucial treasure at the most critical mont.

Even though the challenge was exceptionally arduous, their responsibility as Avengers did not allow them to give up lightly.

Especially for Clint right now. Although he had just dealt with a wave of enemies in front of him, new threats followed one after another—a group of roaring monsters was pressing in step by step.

Just then, a figure streaked across the sky like a teor. It was the King of Wakanda, T’Challa, dressed in his Black Panther suit, arriving to support.

"Clint, give it to !"

T’Challa’s voice was incomparably firm. Seeing this, Hawkeye did not hesitate to pass the heavy responsibility to his companion.

Relying on his high-tech suit and agile movents, Black Panther easily dodged multiple attacks from Thanos’s minions.

Even when heavily surrounded, he could find a breakthrough point in an extrely short ti and rush out of the encirclent in one fell swoop.

After all, having consud the Heart-Shaped Herb, his strength and speed were greatly enhanced; even the experienced Hawkeye was not his match in physical prowess.

Just when Black Panther thought he could continue fighting with such ease, Thanos suddenly locked onto his position and unhesitatingly threw the Double-Edged Sword in his hand.

Due to a montary lapse in attention, Black Panther failed to react in ti and was smashed directly by the heavy blade.

Fortunately, his suit was made of pure Vibranium and had super-strong protective capabilities, so he wasn’t injured.

However, the blow still caused Black Panther to lose his balance and fall to the ground. At the sa ti, the Infinity Gauntlet he was carrying slipped off and landed not far from Thanos’s feet.

Just as Thanos was about to pick up the fallen gauntlet, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him—it was Scarlet Witch, dressed in a red bodysuit, her eyes burning with the fire of hatred.

She blocked his path, her tone filled with anger: "You took everything from ."

Facing this woman who appeared out of nowhere, Thanos looked blank.

In his mory, he had absolutely no recollection of fighting such a being.

Moreover, since setting foot on Earth, he hadn’t slaughtered innocent people on a large scale yet.

"I don’t even know who you are."

Saying this, he attempted to bypass the obstacle and continue completing his goal, but it was clearly impossible now.

Strong chaos energy began to surge around Scarlet Witch, and the air filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Imdiately after, her hands began to emit a blood-red glow.

"You will!" As her voice fell, powerful magic bombarded the enemy.

Although her chaos energy had not yet reached a state of perfection, it was more than enough to deal with Thanos, who currently had no stones to rely on. 』
