Captain Marvel loosened her grip slightly and said in a commanding tone, "Answer the question."
Thanos loosened his throat, exhaled, and then said hoarsely, "The universe needs correction. After that, the Infinity Stones will be useless. They're just a temptation."
Hulk couldn't hold back any longer and slammed Thanos to the ground, angrily shouting, "You've killed trillions of lives!"
Thanos remained expressionless, lying on the ground as he raised his head and said calmly, "You should be grateful." Hulk then punched Thanos in the left cheek.
Black Widow asked in a heavy voice, "Where is the gem?"
Thanos: "Gone, turned into atoms."
Hulk exclaimed excitedly, "You used this just two days ago!"
Thanos slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "I used the Infinity Stones to destroy the Infinity Stones, which almost cost me my life, but the great cause was accomplished, and it was destined to be completed. I am destiny."
War Machine didn't believe Thanos's conclusion: "We have to turn this place upside down, he's definitely lying."
Nebula: "My father had many characteristics, but he didn't lie."
Thanos looked at Nebula with loving eyes and said slowly, "Thank you, my daughter. Perhaps I have been too cruel to you in the past—drink up!" Thanos's words came to an abrupt end.
Thor raised Stormbreaker and cleaved Thanos's head in two with a single blow, separating the two bodies.
And so, Thanos died, the Infinity Stones were gone, and Captain America and his team returned to Earth with heavy hearts.
Lin Qing was completely unaware of all this; bored, he had just finished playing Plants vs. Zombies.
"Okay, I've rewatched Plants vs. Zombies. What should I play next? I've got it! I'll play Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I can only play one life."
Immediately, Lin Qing quickly opened the Three Kingdoms War Chronicles game, selected the character Zhuge Liang, and started playing.
"Chirp chirp chirp!" A bird chirped, and Lin Qing turned to look.
They found a small, bright red bird perched on a tree in the garden.
Lin Qing recognized the bird; it was called the Red-crested Crested Beetle. Upon seeing the little bird, Lin Qing thought of Zhou Hong, the Phoenix, and suddenly burst into laughter.
I was chatting with Zhou Hong again, and before we knew it, we were talking about Marvel movies. We even wondered if Lin Qing would travel into the Avengers.
Lin Qing said that he was in 2016 when only the second movie had been released, while Zhou Hong traveled from 2019, when Avengers: Endgame had already been released.
As it happened, Zhou Hong had already read the plot and knew the story, so he explained the plot of parts 3 and 4 to Lin Qing in detail.
Therefore, even though Lin Qing hasn't seen Avengers 3 and 4, he still knows what will happen next. So, he just needs to wait for Ant-Man to return.
The chaos outside had no effect on Lin Qing at all. Countless superheroes and righteous people were out fighting criminals.
However, this was only a drop in the ocean. Socially organized elements were exceptionally rampant. Although they wouldn't attack government departments, their subordinate police stations still dared to do so.
This is the fifth attack on the New York City Police Department this month, and this time it was the most serious.
It was completely wiped out by more than a dozen rocket launchers, and Paul, Lin Qing's "savior," happened to be inside.
In just three months, Paul had taken over his father’s entire business; a man’s growth can be so rapid.
Paul's father did not disappear; it was Paul's mother, Lena, who disappeared. Paul's father loved his wife very much, and her disappearance devastated him.
Fortunately, her son did not disappear. Knowing that her body could no longer withstand the blow, she forced herself to let her son accept it.
He then lay in a hospital bed, but the company's shareholders and rivals were not willing to let Paul accept the past so easily.
Sure enough, one of the company's traitors has teamed up with the company's old rival to try and take over this big piece of meat.

The police station exploded, and Paul, who was inside, was fortunate to have the life-saving spiritual power given to him by Lin Qing.
However, the area was limited, and only the two bodyguards closest to him were rescued together.
The three fled from the fire in a panic, and before the attackers could react, they got into an armored car and sped away.
"Damn, the target is still alive? What are you all standing there for? Chase after him!"
The group quickly put away their weapons, got into their car, and began their pursuit of Paul.
Paul is very unsettled right now. He's faced assassination attempts before; there have been no fewer than ten in the last three months.
But this time the attacker was really too arrogant and had too much firepower. He brought fifteen bodyguards with him, and only two of them survived.
They also learned just how terrifying Lin Qing's power was; such a small amount of energy had allowed him to remain unharmed despite such a dangerous attack.
Now he is preparing to go home, where he has hundreds of bodyguards protecting him, and their weapons are just as good.
These bodyguards were trained by his father from a young age and were extremely loyal to him. Now, even the police station has been bombed.
Aside from his home, he didn't know where else he could be safe. Suddenly, the bodyguard driving in front slammed on the brakes: "Young Master, the road ahead is blocked by a large truck."
Paul: "Take a detour, quickly."
The bodyguards immediately changed their route, but they were stopped again soon by several buses.
Paul: "Damn it, it looks like they've blocked our way back. Let's get out of the city and go to our safe house outside the city."
The bodyguard sitting next to Paul asked with some confusion, "Young Master, why do we need to go outside the city to the safe house near XX Hospital? It's the closest one."
Paul: "There's a mole in our group. Those safe houses must have been known to us too. Only the one outside the city is the newest one."
"Only I know that there is absolutely no exposure there, and that is the safest place."
"Hmm?" Lin Qing raised his head, looked into the distance, then slowly put away the tablet computer and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
On an empty highway, a car riddled with bullet holes sped along ahead.
Six cars were following closely behind, and the people in the cars behind were armed and attacked from time to time.
Furthermore, several people were firing rocket launchers at the vehicles ahead.
Fortunately, Paul's bodyguard had unparalleled driving skills, and the car was exceptionally sturdy and armored, which allowed them to barely escape the attack.
Paul calmly replied, "Hold on. As long as we escape into the safe house, even with their firepower, it will take them half an hour to break through with all their might."
“Rescue workers are on their way, and there are quite a few attackers at the manor as well.”
"Yes, young master!" the two replied hastily.
Lin Qing realized that his "savior" was sitting in the car that was being chased, so he raised his hand and gently pressed down on the car behind him.
The air froze instantly, then pressed down heavily, crushing the six cars into paper-thin sheets, leaving a huge palm print on the ground.
"Young master, there's a huge palm print behind us, and the people chasing us are gone too."
Paul looked out the rear window and immediately said, "Stop the car."
A screeching sound of brakes rang out, and Paul and his two bodyguards immediately got out of the car, staring blankly at the shocking scene in the distance.
Suddenly, a bodyguard pointed at Lin Qing in the sky and said in a panic, "That, that, young master, up there in the sky!"
Suddenly, Paul and another bodyguard looked up and saw a person wearing gold slippers, shorts and a vest floating in mid-air.
Paul was stunned for a moment, then suddenly noticed the two horns on Lin Qing's head. Upon closer reflection, he realized that these horns slowly overlapped with the horns of the divine dragon.
The person's identity immediately came to mind, and without thinking further, he exclaimed, "Lord Dragon King? Is that you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? I am in human form, how do you know it's me?" She slowly descended in front of Paul.
Paul exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, is it really the Dragon King? I just thought your horns looked like his, so I called out to him."
Lin Qing: "Not bad, you have good taste. I've taken care of those who were chasing you. Be careful next time."
Paul: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King, but why are you here?"
Lin Qing said casually, "Oh, my home is nearby. I just happened to see you here and even used your spiritual power, so I came to check it out."
Paul: "Yeah, really. Ever since half the world's population disappeared, government departments have been busy stabilizing continents and borders, and social organizations have been running rampant."
Lin Qing: "Try to go out as little as possible, and if you do go out, bring plenty of people with you and make sure you have weapons ready, cluck cluck cluck~~~"
Before he could finish speaking, Paul's stomach rumbled, and he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.
Paul has been dealing with company matters since noon and hasn't had lunch. It's been more than eight hours now, so it's no wonder he's hungry. His two bodyguards are just as hungry.
Lin Qing smiled and said, "Let's go to my house, I'll treat you to a good meal."
Paul immediately perked up and said, "Great! Your Majesty, where do you live? I'll have Little Dragon drive over there."
Xiao Long suddenly whispered, "Young Master, what about the Master?"
Paul: "It's okay. There are many people on my father's side. It's fine. As for the rescuers, they can send them back. I'm safe here."
"Yes!" Xiao Long replied and immediately took out his phone to notify the person on the other end.
Lin Qing: "Alright, let's go then. No need to drive, I'll take you there."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Qing brought the three of them to a modern villa in a flash.
"Wow, how did we get here, young master? Look, there's our car over there."
The three of them immediately looked out the window. There used to be more than a dozen unfinished buildings inside the formation, but now they were gone.
Lin Qing disposed of all these unfinished buildings, which made the view much more open.
"This is amazing! Is the Dragon King a god? In the blink of an eye, we're here."
"Moreover, there's actually a building here. When we looked over here, it was a desolate area!"
Lin Qing chuckled at the three shocked people and said, "Alright, stop making such a fuss and come eat! I'm hungry too."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a table full of delicious food appeared on the table, with shimmering light on the dishes, making them look quite extraordinary.

The three of them swallowed hard as they smelled the aroma, but Lin Qing remained silent and dared not make any move.
Lin Qing looked at the three of them, smiled slightly, pulled out a chair, sat in the main seat, and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down, do I have to invite you?"
"Oh, okay, Your Majesty the Dragon King." With that, Paul quickly pulled out a chair and sat down, and the other two followed suit.
However, they just sat there, not daring to make any other movements. Lin Qing was speechless, wondering why everyone was so pretentious.
"If you're not going to eat them, then I'll put them away." Lin Qing made a gesture as if to put the dishes away.
