Chapter 403

Sunk costs refer to expenses that have occurred in the past but have nothing to do with the current decision, and usually also refer to costs that cannot be recovered.

From the perspective of decision-making, the expenses incurred in the past are only a certain factor that caused the current state. The current decision should consider the expenses and the benefits that may occur in the future, without considering the expenses incurred in the past.

However, when the sunk cost has accumulated too high and has exceeded the limit acceptable to the decision makers, due to the influence of psychological factors, in the decision-making process, it will be more inclined to increase investment than to give up the previous investment and reinvest. Allow past costs to form output and reap results.

This is the case for Thanos now-sunk costs are too high. With the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand, At the moment, all four Infinite Gems except for the Mind Gem and Time Gem on Mark and Doctor Strange have been collected.



The first power gem was taken from the new star legion of Sandal; the second Space gem was obtained from the fleeing Asgard spacecraft; and the third Reality Gem was taken from the Collector in Nothing Land.

As for the fourth Infinite Gems—— Soul Gem, Thanos threatened Gamora by taking the life of Nebula and knew the Vomir Star where Soul Gem was hiding. But what Thanos never thought was that he wanted to make Soul Gem appear. To come out of the entity, you need to sacrifice the soul of your favorite person.

In order to restore the balance of the universe and realize his ideals, Thanos reluctantly pushed Gamora down the altar under the cliff, and finally got the Soul Gem.

Except for his beloved adopted daughter Gamora, the loyal confidant under Obsidian Fifth will either halberd on the earth or die in his own hands.

These are the sacrifices that Thanos made in order to realize his ultimate ideal, and the unrecoverable costs invested. This is why Thanos would say to the superhero that he has paid too much, and then he denied Mark’s denial. Too late.

For Thanos, even though he has been shaken in his mind about Mark’s argument, the sunk cost is so high that he can no longer accept the change and failure of the ideal he has been pursuing so hard -.

So now Thanos has only one choice, that is, a way to go to the dark and achieve the original goal.

“You showed up too late Mark Stark! I will pay attention to you when you defeated Loki’s Qitarian regiment, but I didn’t expect that a child who hadn’t grown up with the same hair grows up to this day and not only can To drive a guy like Dormammu out of the earth, even I was almost shaken by you.

It’s a pity that I didn’t pay attention to your existence earlier, and I couldn’t meet you earlier. I always thought I was a person cursed by knowledge, but now it seems that I am imprisoned by knowledge, and you are the real curse. But no matter what, I will not change my position, the battle between us today is inevitable. ”

Mark disagrees with the curse of knowledge that Thanos said. A guy like Thanos thinks he has mastered the most important secrets in the universe. This is a matter of heaven and greatness. He also believes that he is the destiny, mature and lonely and painful because of knowing his mission.

“You think that you are the center of the entire universe, the spokesperson of the will of the universe, but you are not! You are just arrogant, self-righteous and stubborn. The ship of the new era has no place for you to leave the remnants of the old era like you, we Today, I will take back from you the destiny that should have been in the hands of each of us-do it!”

Mark gave an order, and everyone from Avengers and Guardians of Galaxy started to attack Thanos in accordance with their own rhythms and methods.

The first to take action was the fastest captain and Quicksilver. They used Thanos’s unreactive speed to launch a series of offensives against him.

Bang bang bang! Seeing Thanos standing in place, his body was constantly distorted, and at the same time there was a sound of huge amounts of collision. This was the fast break between Quicksilver and the captain like a relay.

But don’t forget, Thanos has four Infinite Gems in his hands, and Thanos has a strong physical body, capable of hand-to-hand combat with Hulk with his bare hands. Although the captain’s attacks hit one after another, they did not cause him any damage.

Next, Infinity Gauntlet triggered a burst of gem energy. Under the strong energy impact, the captain and Quicksilver’s offensive was also strongly interrupted.

After you sing, I will appear on the stage. After the captain and Quicksilver, other superheroes also gathered around. Little Spider-Man continuously launched cobwebs and began to interfere and restrain Thanos’ actions. Black Panther, anti-Hulk Banner, immortal Black widow plus Drax, the four took advantage of this opportunity to surround Thanos’s front, rear, left, and right, and then launched the most powerful attack.

Under numerous disturbances and siege, Thanos was unable to form an effective counterattack at all, and Infinity Gauntlet was entangled by little Spider-Man’s spider cobweb, and it was temporarily unable to be effective, and the situation was slowly falling into a disadvantage.

In the next second, War Machine, Winter Soldier, Falcon and Star Lord, with the cooperation of Mark and Doctor Strange, kept passing through the portal and fought a guerrilla war against Thanos. Stopped his high-tech weapon to recruit Roar to Thanos.

This means that Hawkeye is not here, otherwise Thanos must be able to experience the power of the antimatter arrow that Mark has customized for him.

However, although everyone’s cooperation is very subtle and they work very hard when attacking, the situation is the same as when the captain and Quicksilver attacked before. The momentum to suppress Thanos seems to be very fierce, but it can’t cause damage to Thanos’s powerful physical body. .

Mark had anticipated this situation a long time ago. In the original plot, there was only one weapon that could threaten Thanos, and that was the storm axe that Thor Thor was building in Nidawelle at the moment.

An offensive formed by numbers and cooperation like them is unlikely to cause fatal damage to Thanos. However, from the beginning, Mark did not expect to destroy Thanos through such an attack. Now everyone seems to be doing their best to attack, but in fact they are just holding down Thanos’ actions.

Their real goal is to form an effective containment on Thanos and find an opportunity to bring the Infinity Gauntlet and the four Infinite Gems in his hand to their side, and then kill Thanos by other means, such as Mark’s killer-forbidden technique ·Two-way foil.

After another wave of attacking firepower, Doctor Strange looked at the mantis woman who was already ready to go not far away. The two nodded tacitly to each other, and then Doctor Strange opened two teleportation doors beside Thanos. .

At the moment when Thanos had just endured this heavy firepower and had not recovered yet, the praying mantis passed through the teleportation gate opened by Doctor Strange, and the whole person sat on Thanos’s shoulders, passing herself The empathy of Ability began to disturb Thanos’ mental state.

At the same time, the other portal opened by Doctor Strange was beside Thanos’s left hand Infinity Gauntlet. The floating cloak behind him swished out, wrapping Thanos’s left hand tightly to prevent him from using Infinite Gems. the power of.

“It’s now, do it!” Seeing that the time was ripe, Mark hurriedly gave instructions to the people closest to Thanos. They divided the work and worked together to lock Thanos’ limbs tightly with their entire body strength.

On the other side, the other companions immediately joined Thanos’s side after receiving instructions, and began to work together to take off the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand.

“Please move faster, Thanos is too powerful, I can’t control him for too long!” The praying mantis who showed empathy to Thanos urged everyone with an expression of pain.

And Mark didn’t join in this action. To ensure that their plan would not go wrong, he took out the Crimson Devil Belt previously used on Ebony Maw, and then threw it towards the position of Star Lord.

Click! As soon as the crimson magic belt touched Xingjue’s body, the magical array pattern engraved on the magic weapon was immediately activated, firmly binding Xingjue’s body.

“Sorry Quill, but for the sake of the overall situation, I have to wrong you temporarily.”

After doing all of this, Mark quickly came to Thanos’s left hand position, released two magic chains and started to work together with everyone to take off the Infinity Gauntlet.

“Damn it, how come this thing is so strong, he wouldn’t have glued it to his palm!” Tony used the nano armor to link the gloves, and went all out to activate the thruster on the armor. But Infinity Gauntlet still shows no signs of loosening.

Mark, who was also working hard with others, was also a little bit upset. All this happened too suddenly, much earlier than he expected. This also caused Mark to not be able to prepare adequately.

Now if there is a weapon that can cut off Thanos’s arm like Thor’s storm axe, or Tony’s steel battle suit version of Infinity Gauntlet in the final battle, they won’t have to use brute force so hard.

“Wait! The means to cut off Thanos’ arm really exists!” Mark suddenly remembered that in addition to the purpose of space teleportation, the portal is also a very useful guillotine.

After all, space is king and time is respected. The terrible cutting effect of space power, let alone Thanos’s body can’t hold it, even Dormammu can’t resist the erosion of space power, this can be seen from the record of the two-way foil.

Just do it when you think of it. Mark opened a portal to the Holy Place in New York directly at the junction of Thanos’s arm and Infinity Gauntlet. In the Holy Place, there are Terminators and other Kamar-Taj magicians, Infinity Gauntlet and Infinite Gems. Mark can rest assured there too.



At the next moment, as Mark continued to shrink the magic power he output, the portal began to shrink quickly, and eventually there was no pause. When it disappeared, Thanos’s left hand, Infinity Gauntlet and four Infinite Gems also disappeared to everyone. Right now.

“Successful!?” Mark is a little ecstatic and a little uncertain. Things seem to be too smooth. Thanos shouldn’t be so weak. Even if he joins this timeline, success comes too suddenly and It’s easy.

………. 0

Sure enough, just when Mark was suspicious, the bad premonition in his heart came true in the next second.

“Is this the plan you plan to use against me? It is indeed after careful calculation and planning. If I had not set up this illusion and obtained this information, it would really be possible for you to succeed.”

Everyone present gave a surprised and unbelievable expression to this shuddering voice rang in their ears. Then the Thanos, who they had exhausted all sorts of hard work just now, vanished into nothing in front of them. Not far away, another intact Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet in his left hand stood there alive, watching their depression and surprise at the moment, eyes full of jokes.

Mark is the person with the most powerful soul-sensing Ability among the people, and he is the first person to discover where Thanos’s real body is. When all the illusion dissipated, Mark’s gaze caught the last ray of light on the Infinity Gauntlet, the Reality Gem.

It turned out that after Thanos discovered the vision of Ebony Maw’s soul through the Soul Gem, he started to activate the Ability of the Reality Gem, dragging everyone from Avengers and Guardians of Galaxy into a real illusion.

This is the horror of the Reality Gem. In the previous battle, if Thanos finally wins, then all of this will be turned into reality through the energy of the Reality Gem; but if Mark and the other heroes win, it will all come to an end. If it will be in vain, Thanos will be able to obtain more information about them, which will aggravate the information asymmetry between the two parties.

Thanos with Infinite Gems in his hand and Thanos without Infinite Gems, the strengths of the two are worlds apart, and they are simply not the same. This is why when the plan was first made, the first priority was to take Infinity Gauntlet and Infinite Gems from Thanos first.

But it is a pity that Thanos has one more hand than them, and the advantage of the four Infinite Gems is more that Mark cannot make up for by the number of people.

However, although the failure of the plan this time came as a surprise to the superhero, it was not enough to cause a devastating blow to their will and morale. As the last line of defense surrounding the earth, their tenacity is far beyond Thanos’s imagination.

For the dozen or so teams made up of earthlings and aliens, and even earth and alien rebels, Thanos’ eyes revealed the kind of respect and will for real opponents. The quality is something he has never seen before after so many killings in the universe.

“Then out of respect and respect for the opponent, I will use all my strength to defeat you all!

For a hero, there is no more suitable cemetery than the battlefield, and there is no more worthy ending than the battlefield. Just let me come and kill you by myself! “three.
