Just as Stark was experiencing the changes happening to him, everyone on the field, including Thanos, turned their attention to him.

Thanos felt Stark's power suddenly increase dramatically, even to the point where he felt somewhat threatened. The Tyrant Blade in his hand spun around and was thrown towards Stark like a javelin.

However, as fast as he was, Thor was faster. Thor took the lead and helped Stark block the Tyrant Blade thrown by Thanos, using Stormbreaker to deflect its trajectory.

Stark's mind was amplified to a terrifying degree. He felt that his current mental consciousness could encompass the entire planet. With the blessing of this mental consciousness, he could even sense the storage and types of underground mineral deposits.

Stark felt like he was almost omnipotent at this moment. In terms of manufacturing, nothing could stump him. This feeling was like being a mechanical god.

With a thought, the alien warships brought by Thanos were almost unreasonably invaded by Friday, who had also been upgraded along with Stark, taking over their control systems.

The artillery fire ceased, the energy output decreased, and areas within the ships began to lock down one by one.

The mighty fleet that had been ravaging the planet was, under the control of Stark and Friday, extinguished and returned the way they came.

In a secluded country on another continent, a rare alloy stored underground surged from the ground and mines under the influence of a strange force, as if summoned, and soared into the sky at supersonic speed under the shocked gaze of the citizens.

This scene also occurred around the world.

From a satellite's perspective, the mineral deposits in the resource-rich areas of the entire world were being summoned by some mysterious force.

"Tony, are you okay?"

Natasha came to Stark's side somewhat cautiously, asking carefully.

"I'm fine, never been better!" Stark suddenly opened his eyes, and the faceplate of the Mark suit suddenly flipped open, revealing his energetic face. He looked at Natasha: "The last time I felt such a transformative change was when I wore the Mark suit series.

Do you want to change clothes, Natasha?"

"What do you mean?" Natasha frowned slightly, taken aback by Stark's sudden and inexplicable question. If she hadn't seen that Stark was in good spirits, she would have even thought that he was talking nonsense due to being too shocked.

"What I mean is, I need to arm you." Stark held out his hand to her. Countless metal particles peeled off from the alien fleet ships in the sky. Soon, many ships in the sky were stripped into metal skeletons.

The stripped metal was constantly processed and combined under Stark's control, and finally forged into parts, emerging from the void, one by one attached to Natasha's body, assembled together with a mechanical aesthetic.

Soon, Natasha was wrapped in a seemingly light metal battle suit, and Stark even applied layer upon layer of vibranium coating for her.

A spear was created from nothing and fell into Natasha's outstretched palm.

The energy core on her chest suddenly lit up. Natasha, filled with energy, felt that the suit and weapon were tailor-made for her, and she had mastered them for a long time. Without the slightest unfamiliarity, she knew what the suit could do and how to use the weapon in her hand. It was like an instinct engraved in her bones.

The next moment, Natasha lightly stepped forward and jumped a few steps, following her instincts, and threw the spear she had just grasped in a standard pose towards Thanos, who was being held back by Thor.

The moment the spear was thrown, it disappeared into space. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Thanos, only a few inches away from him.

Thanos, who was easily suppressing Thor, almost subconsciously turned the Tyrant Blade he had swung to strike Thor, using it as a shield, and blocked it in front of him at the critical moment.

A strong shock force was transmitted from the Tyrant Blade to Thanos. The ultimate penetrating and destructive force gave him a familiar feeling.

The spear missed its target and immediately returned to Natasha's hand. Natasha held it as a weapon and rushed up to fight Thanos alongside Thor.

As Natasha joined the battlefield, each of the opponent's offensives made the sense of familiarity in Thanos's heart even stronger.

"Proxima Midnight!"

Thanos violently wielded the Tyrant Blade, making it airtight, and chopped it continuously, using brute force to knock Thor and Natasha away.

He finally understood where the familiarity in his heart came from! That spear, that way of fighting with a spear, reminded him of his missing Black Order.

The spear in Proxima Midnight's hand was a weapon forged by Thanos himself with materials he had found for her. He was familiar with the manufacturing technology of that spear and its attack methods.

Although the power of the spear in front of him could not be compared with the spear he had made for Proxima Midnight, its penetration and attack methods were not much inferior to the original.

Thanos's eyes suddenly locked onto Stark, who had created all of this. A lingering shadow had faintly clouded his heart.

"Good job, Tony."

Thor, who had been cut and rolled to Stark's feet by Thanos, hurriedly got up, his eyes filled with joy. Before, only he was qualified to fight Thanos, but now, Natasha, who had been armed and strengthened by Stark, could also participate in the battle.

Although she could still only play a supporting role and could not pose a major threat to Thanos, this alone could ease the pressure on Thor.

More importantly, it gave a glimmer of hope to the desperate situation.

"This is yours."

Stark waved his hand, and a metal storm descended from the sky, engulfing Thor. The sound of mechanical parts colliding and interlocking, and the friction of gears, was like a fast-paced metal symphony.

When Thor reappeared in front of everyone, he was encased in metal armor, leaving only his eyes visible, armed to the teeth.

Thor's divine power transformed into thunder and lightning from the inside of his body, overflowing on the surface of the armor. When passing through the armor, it increased the power of the overflowing thunder to a certain extent.

Stormbreaker was also plated with a metal coat, and the lightning jumped more happily on the axe, and the electric light was even more dazzling, as if it had absorbed the surrounding light.

Thor was pleasantly surprised to feel the power surging within his body being greatly strengthened and amplified when passing through the armor. This feeling reminded him of Odin, the God-King wearing the Destroyer armor and holding Gungnir.

He did not expect Tony to have similar technology, and the armor created out of thin air could achieve something similar to the skills of dwarven craftsmen!

This made him overjoyed, and the haze in his heart dissipated greatly.

"Give me some more time." Stark pushed Thor and said hurriedly.

"Leave it to me." Thor patted his chest confidently and, together with Natasha, once again faced Thanos, who was rushing up.

"Dr. Banner, we need the Hulk's power." Stark turned his gaze to Dr. Banner, who was eager to try.

"I've been waiting for this." Dr. Banner stood beside Stark. He had already guessed what Stark had used and knew that his current state could not last, so he did not waste any time and stood in front of him.

"This construction is a bit laborious for you, and the consumption may be a bit high. You need to make some adjustments yourself." Stark waved his hand again, and the metal storm group in the sky once again wound down with Stark's instructions and landed on Dr. Banner.

Unlike Natasha and Thor's integrated construction, the construction of Dr. Banner's Hulk form first created a huge arc reactor on his chest.

Then, the metal storm column suddenly thickened and enlarged, and dense metal parts completely covered Dr. Banner.

When the metal storm dissipated again, a tall metal giant with dense metal spikes on his body, looking violent and fierce, appeared in front of everyone.

The huge arc reactor on his chest started, and strands of purple energy were forcibly drawn from the void and gathered into the engine. A brilliant purple color, after dyeing the core of the energy engine, supplied powerful energy to all parts of the metal body like a heart.

Dr. Banner let out a muffled "ho ho ho" sound with some pain, and his body continued to bend downwards. Only when the purple energy, like veins, spread throughout the metal body, converging from the heart in front of him to the back of his heart, did he suddenly straighten his body and let out an unconscious roar forward.

A purple beam of light shot out from Dr. Banner's roaring metal mouth, and the purple beam, as thick as an adult's thigh, hit Thanos, who was holding the Tyrant Blade tightly in front of him. But this created attack conditions for Thor and Natasha.

Stormbreaker and the Midnight Spear attacked Thanos's vitals from the left and right respectively, forcing Thanos to free his hands to parry.

But in the face of this and losing sight of that, the Tyrant Blade was knocked high into the sky, and the gushing purple beam directly hit Thanos's chest, pushing him back dozens of meters in the ruined buildings on the ground. Finally, he and the ruined buildings were completely swallowed by the purple beam.

The beam continued to gush for half a minute before dissipating, but even at this moment, a brilliant purple color still remained in everyone's eyes.

After releasing the energy and releasing the pressure from the overload, Dr. Banner was able to initially control the equipment on his body.

"He's injured!"

Thor's surprised voice made everyone's spirits lifted. The pressure between an enemy who could not be harmed no matter how hard they fought and an enemy who would be injured and bleed was like the difference between heaven and earth.

The former meant insurmountable despair.

The latter represented hope that could be touched.

Under the expectant gaze of Captain and Star-Lord, Stark did not make them wait long. Multi-core operation, the metal storm group in the sky dropped multiple connection points, enveloping Captain and them together.

The Avengers team, with a new metal-armored appearance, was reborn.

"Hulk!"

Dr. Banner violently stomped on the ground, rushing towards the ruined buildings where Thanos was like a heavy-duty rhino. Natasha and Thor followed closely with their weapons.

Thanos, who was much smaller than the metal-constructed Hulk, rushed out of the ruins to meet the Hulk without dodging. He swung his clenched fist as he approached.

Hulk's fist collided with Thanos's fist in mid-air, and a ring-shaped shockwave exploded from the center of the collision, raging around.

Thanos's body staggered. Facing the Hulk's fist, he was somewhat unable to resist. Before he could stabilize his body, he was hit hard on the face by another fist swung by the Hulk.

Blood splattered in the air.

Thanos staggered back a few steps from this punch. However, there was no anger on his face, only surprise.

"The power of the Infinity Stones!"

Under the collision, Thanos clearly felt the irresistible power carried by Hulk's fist. He felt energy similar to the Mind Stone from it! That was the energy belonging to the Infinity Stones!

This meant that Stark and the others had indeed been in close contact with and even researched the Infinity Stones. This meant that his choice was not wrong!

Thanos looked far away in the direction of Stark, only to see Stark sitting in a huge mechanical construct that was nearing completion, with dense parts quickly covering his body. Countless floating turrets surrounded the huge mechanical construct, with muzzles spewing powerful energy springs, like a light curtain, aimed in his direction.

Seemingly seeing Thanos looking over, Stark spoke under Thanos's gaze as he was completely covered by metal parts. The shape of his mouth fell into Thanos's eyes, and along with the sudden gushing high-energy rays around him, Thanos couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"I am the mechanical god, and also the apostle of the end. Goodbye."

Thanos's body was completely swallowed by countless light rain.

PS: There are metal versions of the Avengers team portraits on Douyin, which are pretty good.
