# Chapter 476: Thanos's Death, The Battle for the Gems

Just like needing to sacrifice one's beloved to obtain the Soul Stone, the other Infinity Stones also have strict limitations and backlashes. To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

An Ordinary Person, let alone using them, would be met with a backlash from the Stone's power just by touching a Raw Stone.

The most intuitive example is the Power Stone. When this gemstone first appeared, it directly blew up more than half of The Collector Tivan's Treasury, causing hundreds of millions of years of his effort to be wasted. And this was merely because Tivan's Maid wanted to touch this Raw Stone, hoping to use its power to escape from Tivan, that pervert.

But she underestimated the Power Stone and overestimated herself.

After all, even with Star-Lord's demigod physique, he still needed the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy to share the burden to withstand the energy overflowing from the Power Stone.

Ronan, as a member of the Kree Empire's Supreme Accuser, also needed his Warhammer (a universal weapon crafted by the Kree Empire with the full might of their civilization) to barely control the Power Stone's raging energy.

Thanos's Strength was formidable enough. His Eternal Titan Body granted him insurmountable strength, endurance, healing factor, and agility.

His skin was nearly indestructible, especially against cold, heat, electricity, radiation, poison, aging, and disease. He could survive without eating or drinking anything.

His Spirit was also nearly invincible, granting him immunity to most mental attacks. It could be said that Thanos was one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.

This was also the reason he could control the Infinity Stones!

In a Future Timeline of another Parallel Universe, Hulk Dr. Banner snapped his fingers. Despite his physical quality, the overflowing energy of the six Infinity Stones directly crippled one of his arms.

And the other guy who snapped the Infinity Stones directly ended his own life and the Marvel Hero Universe!

As for Thanos, in the Parallel Universe, the Thanos who fell beneath Thor's Stormbreaker directly used the power of the six Infinity Stones to clash against each other, destroying these six Raw Stones.

And under such circumstances, he actually withstood the power of the six Infinity Stones and survived. This shows the immense strength of the Eternal Titan race's physical body.

Or rather, it is evident how formidable Thanos, this Cosmic Overlord, truly is.

However, this does not mean he can use the power of the Infinity Stones arbitrarily without any backlash impact.

The reason he could control the Infinity Stones in his hand so recklessly was, firstly, due to the Infinity Gauntlet he held. This Gauntlet was specifically designed by him to master the Infinity Stones. Only by wearing this Gauntlet could he fully unleash the power of the Infinity Stones while minimizing the damage they inflicted upon him.

This is like being able to recklessly attack an enemy with electrified tongs after putting on fireproof, insulated gloves.

However, even the sturdiest gloves have a time when they wear out. Moreover, this insulated glove only slowed down the energy impact of the Infinity Stones; it didn't achieve one hundred percent isolation.

Even Thanos felt some pressure after repeatedly using the power of the Infinity Stones. Even with Thanos's Strength, simultaneously using the power of three Infinity Stones was a considerable burden on his body.

Therefore, while using the Power Stone, Thanos would correspondingly reduce his control over the Reality Stone. Of course, snapping his fingers was another matter entirely. This is like a weightlifting competition versus using a hundred-pound great staff in a street fight – you can imagine which is more strenuous.

While using the Power Stone to bombard the Zhu Yan Ape that had launched a sneak attack, Thanos was completely unaware that a Manipulator was quietly approaching the back of his head.

Back when the Hell Abyss was competing for the title of Lord of Hell, symbolized by Satan, the Old Demon Dragon led a group of his descendants to stir up trouble everywhere, ambushing people, and robbing them while masked—

During that time, the wealth in his dragon lair increased by more than ten times. If not for his truly formidable Strength, he would have been skinned and had his tendons pulled out by the victims working together long ago.

One must know that among the Old Demon Dragon's victims were beings like the Seven Lords of Hell. According to hearsay, even Lucifer had been ambushed by the Old Demon Dragon.

When it came to ambushing, the Old Demon Dragon was a professional—

That gold whip traveled through the Spatial Rift between reality and the Dimensional Realm, appearing silently at the back of Thanos's head. Even as the Old Demon Dragon swung the gold whip down, the heavy whip made no sound until it landed on Thanos's head.

By the time Thanos became aware, the golden dragon formed by the gold whip in the Old Demon Dragon's hand, with its golden, shining four-edged claws, swept down with a crash, instantly enveloping the Space within an area of several mu.

The claws were ferocious, fast as lightning. The barrier propped up by the Void Throne instantly scattered into a large shower of sparks.

"Bang!" The Old Demon Dragon smashed down with a whip. After the heavy gold whip shattered the barrier propped up by the Void Throne, it slammed onto the back of Thanos's head with a bang, directly causing him to stumble and fall forward.

Compared to Odin, this wasn't because Thanos was weak!

It was because the Wutu Mountain Driving Whip in the Old Demon Dragon's hand was truly formidable. This gold whip was formed by condensing more than a dozen streams of the essence qi of earth veins, refined from true True Essence of Wu Tu.

The weight of this whip in his hand was equivalent to the combined weight of more than a dozen large mountains. With a single strike, even the power of ordinary Immortal/Deity Magic Treasures could not contend with it.

One must know that in the Jambudvīpa World, a Flying Sword Magic Treasure of slightly better quality, after being empowered and refined by the user with restriction formations, can kill enemies when advancing and protect the body when retreating! However, Magic Treasures like the Five Dings Mountain-Splitting Axe in Kane's hand, the Dark Gold Great Staff in Frank's hand, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Blade in Deadpool Wade's hand are all purely physical attack-type Magic Treasures—

Among the few of them, besides Lane, none had the disposition to use defensive Magic Treasures. They weren't very interested in the flags, banners, orbs, bowls, alms bowls, golden lamps, and Sarira that Tang Song refined for them.

Skye and Rogue, however, each had a Flying Sword, and they wore various hairpins and stepped on protective lotus flowers of various colors. The scattered Magic Treasures they carried added up to at least a dozen items.

Their standard for choosing Magic Tools and Magic Treasures was even simpler: they had to look good!

Kane and the others relied on their formidable Divine-Demon Physical Body and Undying Body to charge recklessly. It wasn't until this time that Johnny ran into Thanos, this iron plate. His proud Spirit of Vengeance met its nemesis, the Soul Stone, and he directly gambled his life away! Singularity also means specialization to some extent! While purely physical attack is simple, if the strength of such an attack reaches a certain level, the force it can generate is earth-shattering and invincible!
