Suddenly, crimson energy descended from the sky—the next instant, Wanda blocked in front of Peter, both hands channeling chaos magic to deflect Thanos's lethal strike, while a blood-red orb behind her shot toward Thanos.
With a boom, Thanos was sent staggering backward, and chaos magic instantly wrapped around his entire body like rope, binding him.
At the same time, under the power of the chaos magic, Thanos's armor was peeled away piece by piece like paper. Thanos howled in pain, the muscles across his body bulging as he fought against the chaos energy.
Just as Thanos was about to be drained of strength, an energy blast came from nowhere and, by sheer chance, grazed Wanda's arm.
Wanda's arm was instantly cut. Though the wound was small, it distracted her just enough for Thanos to seize the opportunity and break free.
Meanwhile, Peter was surrounded by a tide of alien soldiers. Even with his eight spider-legs, it was no use.
"Hey—help! Help me!"
Peter shouted, but his hands remained tightly clamped around Thanos's gauntlet.
"Peter, look up!"
A blue suit of armor streaked across the sky—Pepper grabbed onto Peter, lifted him into the air, and then hurled him forcefully skyward.
On the other side, a white pegasus appeared, and Valkyrie caught Peter perfectly, seating him firmly on its back.
"Whoa—what a cool horse! Although Carol's is cooler, but I know a thing or two—this is Odin's divine steed, right? And yours is the Valkyrie's pegasus, but it's still pretty cool... AAAH—!!!"
Peter rambled on nonstop. Valkyrie suddenly dove with him toward the ground, and the sudden weightlessness made Peter scream.
The pegasus dodged the energy blasts coming up from the ground while carrying Peter down. As they neared the ground, disaster struck—an energy blast hit the pegasus's wing. The pegasus immediately lost balance and began to fall, and Valkyrie took the chance to throw Peter clear.
Peter landed lightly and sprinted desperately toward where everyone was, but the rain of energy blasts gave him nowhere to dodge. One blast hit him directly—though the energy was absorbed by the vibranium, the impact still knocked him off balance and sent him tumbling to the ground.
At the same time, more energy blasts rained down on Peter like falling petals, and all he could do was curl up tightly, clutching the gauntlet, helpless.
Suddenly, a streaking figure landed in front of Peter, blocking all the incoming blasts for him.
"Looks like you need some help, Peter~"
Carol reached down and pulled Peter up from the ground, smiling at him.
The shockwave from Carol's landing cleared all the aliens within about ten meters around Peter, but within seconds, those aliens surged forward again.
At the same time, Wanda descended from the sky, followed by Skye, Gwen, Valkyrie, Xu Xialing, and Pepper in her rescue armor.
Finally, Mantis, Natasha, and Felicia also arrived. Everyone gathered around Peter, forming a protective circle.
"Having so many beautiful women protecting you like this—you should go give thanks at a church, Peter."
Pepper said seriously, though her words were lighthearted.
"That's right, you should consider yourself lucky, Peter~~"
Felicia chimed in.
At that moment, Hope and Nebula also arrived at Peter's side.
In this moment, the full team of female Avengers had assembled. Valkyrie's pegasus spread its wings, signaling the start of the Avengers women's battle.
Everyone kept Peter in the center, facing head-on the tidal wave of alien forces.
Pepper's energy cannons sounded like war drums, and the women charged at their respective enemies.
Wanda instantly rose into the air, nine crimson orbs orbiting behind her, the Darkhold simultaneously radiating intense energy, completely enveloping Wanda's body. She now looked like a banshee floating in midair, her lower body completely dissolved into crimson chaos energy, her eyes glowing blood-red. In this moment, she resembled a bloodthirsty witch—the nine orbs behind her instantly transformed into giant hands, each swing claiming countless lives.
At the same time, the ground shook violently as if in an earthquake. The next instant, countless spikes burst from the sand, and in an instant the surrounding terrain turned into a field of thorns, with the bodies of densely packed aliens impaled upon them.
By this time, Thanos had reached the group. Pepper immediately pushed her output to maximum, firing her repulsors and palm cannons all at once at Thanos.
At the same moment, Skye, Nebula, and Wanda arrived together—chaos energy and shockwaves struck Thanos simultaneously, while Nebula's blaster also opened fire.
In an instant, several blasts of energy struck Thanos, sending him flying more than ten meters, then tumbling a few more meters before he steadied himself.
Even as he steadied himself, the broken blade in his hand was already flying toward Peter. The other women were each occupied with their own enemies—only Xialing noticed the blade Thanos had thrown, and immediately fired her rope dart to try to deflect its path.
But she underestimated Thanos's strength—the broken blade knocked her dragon-scale rope dart aside and continued toward Peter, though its force was somewhat lessened.
*Clang!!*
The broken blade struck Peter's wrist precisely, and the Infinity Gauntlet was knocked from his hand, flying into the air.
The instant Thanos threw the blade, he moved fast, following right behind it—as the gauntlet flew off, he leapt up after it, reaching for it in midair.
Just then, a streak of light flashed by—Carol got to the gauntlet first, then immediately shot skyward into the heights.
Thanos had actually grabbed the gauntlet a split second earlier, but Carol had forcibly wrenched it away from him, causing him to miss it once again.
Looking up at Carol in the sky, Thanos raised his hand and pointed—the remaining leviathans and the flying alien forces immediately surged toward Carol.
Carol's flight speed was incredibly fast. Weaving constantly through the air, her fists fired beam after beam of energy, and the aliens trying to approach her couldn't get close.
Mounted on his six-legged divine steed as Odin, Kal overlooked the battlefield. A zone of clear space had formed around him, and no leviathan could get near.
But suddenly, black energy surged out, and when it cleared, Odin had vanished—Kal's own form emerged from the black mist.
At the same moment, Onion, who had been fighting aliens below, shot up into the air, fast as lightning, and caught Kal perfectly, letting him land steadily on its back.
Kal patted Onion, and then his voice rang out through everyone's communicators.
