Chapter 229 Licking to the End, Nothing Left

The battle was coming to an end; Thanos lay sprawled in a deep pit, covered in blood and looking utterly disheveled.

Wanda and Jean’s suppression left the purple sweet potato with almost no power to fight back.

However, he possessed five Infinity Stones after all, and since the two women did not target the gauntlet, it gave Thanos an opportunity.

Thanos opened a portal beneath himself and slipped away directly, then secretly hid behind a meteorite.

Strange noticed a huge meteorite plummeting toward Earth’s surface and went up to intercept it without a word.

"Not right, that’s a trap!"

Jean sensed a psychic barrier hidden right behind the meteorite.

But by the time she opened her mouth to warn them, everything was already too late.

Before Strange could react, Thanos forcefully snatched the eye of agamotto from his chest and embedded the Time Stone into the gauntlet.

All six Infinity Stones were gathered together!

In an instant, a brilliant radiance suddenly burst forth.

"You cannot stop me!"

Thanos raised his left hand high, about to snap his fingers.

Wanda immediately channeled her chaotic whip to pull on Thanos’ gauntlet, but activating the gauntlet did not necessarily require a finger snap; snapping fingers was just a cinematic design. In reality, with just a thought, the six Infinity Stones could still be activated.

Snap!

A clear snapping sound reached everyone’s ears.

At that moment, time suddenly came to a standstill.

Everyone around fell into a stagnant state, except for Lucas, who strolled leisurely past Strange, patted Iron Man’s shoulder, walked up to Wanda, and gently pinched her babyish cheeks.

Jean... went right up and gave him a kick!

Finally, Lucas came before Thanos. The power of time was repelling him, but Lucas also possessed the power of time, and it was even stronger than that of the MCU Universe. His own strength had already reached the multiversal tier, whereas the Infinity Stones of the film Universe only affected a single Universe, falling far short in divine authority.

Lucas merely raised his right hand casually, bringing his fingers together into a hand-blade, and lightly slashed downward in one fluid motion.

Slash!

Thanos’ left arm wearing the six Infinity Stones, along with the left half of his massive body, was sliced completely apart the moment it touched Lucas’s hand-blade.

Purple divine blood sprayed everywhere!

The severed arm carrying the six Infinity Stones flew high into the air, and before it even hit the ground, Lucas casually grabbed it in his hand.

"You... What on Earth are you..."

Time returned to normal.

Thanos suddenly let out an angry roar, but the World before his eyes had already been dislocated vertically.

"It’s about time this ended, Thanos, return to the embrace of Death!"

Lucas pressed down on Thanos’ head and followed up with another blast of Omega Beams.

His original intention was to use this to have a skirmish with Death. After all, Thanos was a devout follower of Death; if he obliterated Thanos’ existence from the temporal level, Death would definitely pop out.

But what he didn’t expect was...

Thanos was just erased like that, and Death didn’t show up from beginning to end.

"Tsk!"

Lucas looked around and indeed felt no trace of Death. "Simp, simp, a simp to the very end gets absolutely nothing!"

Thanos had prepared a grand sacrifice for Death; even if things didn’t work out, it was at least a gesture of sincerity. Yet, Death only cared about Deadpool.

The battle was over.

Tony, Strange, Star-Lord, Spider-Man, and the others sat paralyzed in the ruins, looking at the near-miraculous scene before them, everyone falling into a prolonged state of shock.

At this moment.

A spaceship descended from the sky, and quite a few aliens jumped out.

These were all helpers summoned by Nebula to avenge Gamora, but as soon as they landed, the battle was already over.

"Where is Thanos?"

Nebula looked at the crowd, her gaze lingering on Lucas’s face for a moment.

"According to Earth’s terms, he should be considered cremated." Tony tapped his knee, feeling some joint pain.

"Thanos is dead?" Nebula found it incredible.

Such a powerful Thanos was beaten to Death by these few Earthlings? You’ve got to be kidding me!

"And... why do you look so familiar? Do you happen to know a man named Lucas Guan?" Nebula turned her head back again. Over the past few years, a man had barged into her life.

The two had adventured together, fallen into crises together, and in the end, always turned misfortune into blessings.

That man’s face looked very much like Lucas’s, especially his gaze.

"Don’t know him, never heard of him, is he famous?" Lucas shook his head three times.

"You actually don’t know the infamous interstellar raider?" Rocket bounced the gun in his hand. "That guy even claimed he had visited Earth and was even the Master of Earth, forbidding anyone else from messing with it."

"Tch!"

"I knew it, that brat was just bragging; there’s no such person on Earth at all!"

Nebula cursed inwardly, "Damn liar, as expected, it’s just another alter ego!"

It seemed that all members of the Guardians of the Galaxy knew this person named Lucas Guan.

Lucas naturally knew him.

After all, now that his main account was fully leveled up, of course he had to use a smurf account to go roam the World.

"Lucas Guan?" A trace of suspicion flashed through Wanda’s eyes.

Jean also sensed something was wrong.

Lucas could create clones; they both knew this well, having experienced it firsthand at night.

But they had never imagined that if Lucas’s clone could appear on the other side of the Universe...

Catching him cheating like this was getting a bit too difficult!

"Ahem, since the battle is over, as the host of Earth, I’ll treat everyone to a meal. Once you’re done eating, hurry up and scram!" Lucas waved his hand, transported everyone to Earth, and left Tony to entertain them.

As for himself, he quickly slipped away with the two women, otherwise it would be easy to get caught running a smurf account and flirting everywhere.

[Current MCU Main Plane, Conquest Progress: 100%ل]

[Congratulations, Host! Successfully and completely conquered the second main universal plane!]

[Ding! Ultimate reward distributed!]

[Breaking through high-dimensional barriers — Current physical mass, psychic dimension, and Omega Effect are comprehensively enhanced!]

In an instant, the divine power within Lucas, as well as his own mass, increased exponentially!

The Omega bands in his eyes evolved into scenes of universal collapse and birth, and his body faintly exuded a supreme aura transcending time and space.

The peak of the fifth dimension, with half a foot already stepping into the sixth dimension.

He was not far from becoming the King of Omega.

At least when traveling through certain Worlds in the future, he wouldn’t have to shiver in fear like before; he could skewer the Chaos Gods like candied hawthorns, make the Golden Emperor kneel down and sing Conquest, and turn the Inquisition into a singing and dancing party...

Hehehe!

...

In the blink of an eye, more than a decade of time flowed by.

Subsequent events on Earth were not very important, such as the petty bickering of the Eternals or the research and development of the Million-Solar-System Sentinel. The moment that thing popped up, Lucas locked it down.

Research my ass!

The Million-Solar-System Sentinel had a very high growth ceiling in the comics, and its performance in adaptations was also quite good.

But what did that have to do with him?

Lock it directly, no development allowed!

The town’s time was as tranquil and peaceful as ever, even transforming Lucas into a model husband. Every day he just stayed with his two women to live their lives, making rapid progress compared to before.

Of course, the business of his smurf account had nothing to do with his true body.
