Chapter 2013: I Am Inevitable? No, I’m Batman

Thanos, who was only one step away, punched Tony without any hesitation.

In terms of head-on combat, Tony was indeed the weakest of the trio. He was sent flying again after a few punches.

Tony rolled to a stop on one knee on the ground, and glared at Thanos.

Thanos, who was about to succeed, met Tony’s gaze, and slowly raised his right hand. “I – am – inevitable.”

!!

As soon as he said that, he exerted strength with his gloved thumb and middle finger.

Snap!

Stunned for a moment, Thanos turned to look at his right hand, only to see that the six Stones were gone.

He instantly realized something, and turned around to look at Tony, who was half-kneeling on the ground.

Tony slowly raised his right hand, and the nanomaterial quickly reshaped itself into an Infinity Glove. The six Stones appeared on the back of his hand and glowed.

Thanos: ???

But it didn’t matter how Tony had taken the Stones from the glove. What mattered was that he saw determination in Tony’s eyes — determination to kill him at all costs.

Thanos charged forward.

Not everyone could use the Infinity Glove. When a person put it on, the energy from the Stones would course through their body and things would be at a standstill for one moment.

Given Tony’s small physique, he might not be able to last long enough to snap his fingers.

So, Thanos still had a chance.

But Thanos didn’t notice how Tony fell into a daze one moment before he put on the glove, nor that he wasn’t connected to the six Stones.

To put it simply, the six Stones were actually resting on a separate patch of nanomaterial, and not in the complete Infinity Glove.

Anxious, Thanos didn’t have time to think. He raised his broken sword and slashed at Tony’s raised right hand.

Suddenly, there was a huge push from the side.

Thanos, who was completely focused on Tony and the glove, couldn’t react at all. He was sent spinning out of Tony’s sight.

WTF? Tony was stunned. You flew away without saying anything. Should I snap my fingers or not?

He subconsciously looked at Strange again.

This time, he saw clear shock on the Sorcerer Supreme’s face, as if he was also surprised.

Hm, wait, why did it seem like the Sorcerer Supreme was looking to the side?

Before he could figure it out, he heard a cold and calm voice. “Leave it to me.”

Tony was in a daze again. The nano armor on his right hand immediately broke off as an Iron Man version of the Infinity Glove appeared.

Luke, who was standing quietly next to Tony, picked up the glove easily.

The moment he obtained the Infinity Gloves, Luke finally heaved a sigh of relief. His efforts hadn’t been in vain.

From the moment he met the Avengers, Luke had secretly been using the subtlest mental suggestions on them.

Except for Nebula, who was basically a robot, he had left behind a ‘secret door’ in everyone else’s minds.

Although he didn’t see much of them in the week after… that didn’t mean that he couldn’t do anything.

It had to be pointed out that Luke’s mental strength had an effective range of almost 500 meters.

Although the Avengers base was huge, the main buildings in the four zones were less than 500 meters apart.

Tony also went home to keep his wife and daughter company from time to time, and passed within Luke’s range many times.

However, this sort of covert mental suggestion wasn’t enough to make the Avengers trust Luke fully.

If he made them give him the task of saving people with the Infinity Glove, their first reaction would probably be to sense that something was wrong, and they would become suspicious.

Naturally, Luke wouldn’t do something so stupid.

He had set up the secret door mainly to ensure his safety, not to deal with the 2023 Avengers.

At the last moment in this fierce battle, however, it would be normal for Luke, who had proven his position as Knight, to nobly sacrifice himself.

If the Avengers still had suspicions about Knight after he killed Thanos and returned the Infinity Glove to them, would they even be human?

As for using Telekinesis to send Thanos flying, that was nothing.

He had learned Ebony Maw’s Intermediate Telekinesis in a hurry, which made him a lot more efficient.

He had been able to successfully fling Thanos aside firstly because he had caught him by surprise, and secondly, because Wanda had dismantled part of the golden armor, thereby destroying the way it blocked telekinesis.

Otherwise, would Ebony Maw revere Thanos if he could toss the latter around like a ball at any time?

Even as Luke’s mind whirled with thoughts, he didn’t stop moving. The armor on his right hand retracted to reveal his right arm, and he put on the glove.

“Wait.” Tony couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know the consequences of using it?”

At that moment, he no longer doubted Luke’s motives, but he didn’t want this Knight, who had fought alongside him, to die.

Luke nodded at him. “Don’t worry, I’m very strong. At most, I’ll have one roasted arm, like Dr. Banner.”

Tony: …Is your arm a pork knuckle? Don’t describe being roasted so easily!

Also, now that the Avengers had the upper hand, it wasn’t hard to kill Thanos. At most, it would just be a little harder to take down his warship.

Of course, Luke wouldn’t say that he coveted the experience and credit points for eliminating Thanos’s entire army.

If someone else did it, his contribution rate would definitely be several times, or even over ten times lower.

Rather than that, it was better to let him sacrifice himself, and all the credit points would go to him. At the same time, he could deal with Thanos’s warship and reduce casualties among Earth’s allied forces.

Killing two birds with one stone. Everyone would benefit, so why not?

Having already thought it through, he didn’t waste any more time. He curled his fingers, and the Infinity Glove immediately connected to the energy circuits of the six Stones.

Energy from the six Stones rushed into his body, and Luke grinned lightly. “It does hurt a little.”

No wonder Dr. Banner and Thanos, these two super strong existences, had roared when putting the glove on – this energy was too much and too violent.

The pain was just one thing. What was even worse was that it felt like this energy would tear him to pieces and burn him to ashes in the next moment.

Boom!

There was the sound of huge footsteps, and Thanos’s purple figure reemerged in the dust.

He had the highest command over the warship’s cannon fire. He was able to avoid any accidental injuries and charge back unhindered.

But just as Thanos returned, he saw that disgusting guy appear again, and he was wearing the Infinity Glove.

Thanos didn’t even bellow anymore. He simply jumped forward and slashed with his broken blade.

This last gamble was between Luke snapping his fingers first or Thanos killing this monster first.

What Thanos didn’t know was that Luke’s clone was indeed far inferior to him and Dr. Banner in terms of tenacity and strength.

But in terms of the ability to withstand damage, Luke, who had abilities and tens of millions of credit points, could definitely last until the end of time, as long as he wasn’t killed in one hit.

Although the energy released by the Infinity Stones was fierce and the pain was intense, it wasn’t enough to shake his resolve to be victorious.

Hearing the noise, Luke simply turned his head and looked up.

Thanos, who was holding the giant blade high as he leapt through the air, seemed to move in slow motion. The purple face no longer had the tyrannical air from before, and was only filled with madness on the verge of despair.

Luke smiled. Like Thanos earlier, he didn’t look at the Infinity Glove, but smiled at Thanos. “I… am… Batman!”

Snap!
