However, despite gathering all the most powerful sorcerers in the country and gambling with the fate of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang's attempt to capture them ultimately failed.
At that time, Lu Sheng, the first sorcerer of Qin, in order to prevent the dragon from killing innocent people in a fit of rage because of capturing him, extracted the remaining national fortune of Qin and sealed the dragon away.
He then dragged his mangled body to create a tomb, placed the stone statue of the dragon inside, left behind an ancient book recording the event, and also left the incantation to unseal it.
Lin Qing was also impressed. No wonder there were so few foreigners; it was for these reasons. They knew that once the seal was lifted, the dragon would wreak havoc everywhere.
They ignored it completely and still wanted to break the seal, weren't they afraid that the dragon would wipe them out as soon as it appeared?
At this moment, Ellie walked up to Lin Qing with a serious expression, opened her mouth, and prepared to utter the incantation to unseal the seal.
Suddenly, a pistol was pressed against the back of Ellie's head. Ellie stopped abruptly, saying, "Who's pointing something at my head?" She tried to turn around to see what was being pointed at her.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot," Derry said expressionlessly, pointing a gun at Ellie.
Paul, seeing his goddess being held at gunpoint, flew into a rage and yelled, "Damn it, Derry, are you insane? What are you trying to do?"
In a moment of impulsiveness, he rushed over without paying any attention to the gun in Derry's hand.
Seeing this, Derry turned his gun and fired at the two men behind Paul.
"Bang! Bang!" Then came the sound of two people falling to the ground.
Paul immediately came to his senses, stopped, and slowly turned his head.
Upon closer inspection, the two members of the mutual aid society, Nanwo and Nali, had bullet holes in their heads and lay in pools of blood.
Paul trembled as he said, "You, you, why, you shot them dead."
He was just an eighteen-year-old boy, and two living people died in front of him. Although they weren't exactly good friends, he was still very unsettled.
Ellie was also terrified. She didn't say a word, covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her face, and her whole body was trembling.
A slight smile appeared on Delhi's face: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. We'll use you to blackmail your father, so that everything your father has can be used by us."

Paul forced himself to remain calm and said, "Okay, I can go with you, but Ellie is innocent. How about you let her go?"
Delhi smiled slightly and said, "Of course, this girl is your goddess, she's perfect for blackmailing you."
Ellie released her hand from her mouth and said, trembling, "Why, why did you kill them? Do you have some ulterior motive regarding the sealing of the dragon?"
"Haha, how ridiculous! What broken seal, what Qin Dynasty dragon, immortality, it's all bullshit. If it weren't for getting close to Paul, would I have joined this idiotic superpower support group?"
"Let me tell you, we Hydra have a serum that can turn people into Captain America. Soon, after this mission is completed, I'll get the serum too!"
Delhi laughed wildly, as if the serum was already within his grasp.
Ellie burst into tears, feeling helpless, desperate, and hopeless. Only by looking at the boy she used to see could she find a glimmer of hope.
Paul: "I'll do anything you ask, as long as you let Ellie go. All I want is for Ellie to be safe."
Actually, Ellie also liked Paul, but because Paul came from a prominent family, while she herself came from an ordinary family, she felt that she was not good enough for him.
At that moment, Ellie could no longer hold back and shouted, "Paul, I love you, I love you! There's a secret passage behind the stone sculpture, and the password is my favorite number. Let's go!"
After saying that, he immediately covered Delhi's gun hand with both hands, holding it tightly, trying to use his own body to prevent Delhi from using the gun.
However, Ellie didn't expect that Paul would be stunned by this scene, standing there dumbfounded, unable to move, let alone run away.
Derry was taken aback by this scene and easily subdued Ellie. After all, Derry was an experienced spy and had the ability to do so.
He pulled out his belt and tied Ellie's hands together, made her kneel on the ground, stepped on her feet, and pressed the gun against the back of Ellie's head.
He even took the time to remove his tie and stuff it into Ellie's mouth, then slapped Ellie's left cheek with his left hand.
"You're quite capable, daring to make a move. Well then, you don't need these hands anymore." With that, he moved the gun away and aimed it at Ellie's right arm.
Paul was startled awake by the sharp sound of a slap, and then saw Derry preparing to shoot Ellie in the arm. He panicked and shouted:
"If you dare to shoot, I'd rather die than listen to you." With that, he rushed towards Delhi.
Lin Qing could only watch helplessly as this damned system restricted him so tightly that he couldn't make any moves.
However, they were completely unaware that a cosmic war was taking place in a country across the ocean, with Thanos leading his cosmic army to attack Wakanda, an exceptionally developed nation.
Thanos's wireless gauntlet already has four gems embedded in it, only one more missing: the Mind Stone on Vision's head.
Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Star-Lord, and his teammates ganged up on Thanos, but were completely outmatched.
Iron Man was crippled by Thanos, who extended his left arm, adorned with the Infinity Gauntlet, in preparation to kill him.
"Stop! Spare his life and I'll give you the Infinity Stone," Doctor Strange said weakly as he rose from the ruins.
It seems Doctor Strange wants to use an Infinity Stone to save Iron Man.
Thanos said expressionlessly, "Don't try anything funny." He then pointed his left arm at Doctor Strange.
Iron Man shook his head and said, "No! Don't give it to me."
Doctor Strange, for reasons unknown, reached out and conjured the Time Stone out of thin air, then threw it over.
Thanos took the Time Stone and embedded it into his gauntlet. An inexplicable power surged within Thanos.
"Just one more!" Thanos laughed, looking at his Infinity Gauntlet.
"Bang!" An energy ray struck Thanos's gauntlet, followed by more energy rays aimed at him.
Thanos glanced up, then used the power of the Infinity Stones to quickly disappear into a cloud of mist.
At that moment, Star-Lord flew in from a distance, only to find that Thanos had already disappeared, and crashed heavily into the ruins.
"Where did he go?" Star-Lord was furious.
Iron Man didn't speak, but sighed and silently stopped the bleeding from his wound.
Star-Lord: "Did we lose?"
Iron Man, not understanding why, turned to Doctor Strange and whispered in a strange tone, "Why did you do that?"
Doctor Strange said calmly, "We've reached the final stage."
On the battlefield of Wakanda, Thor is wreaking havoc with his new weapon, Stormbreaker, but it's all just a drop in the ocean.
Thanos's army is simply too large, and they also have incredibly powerful war machines. The Avengers' side is on the verge of collapse.
Vision's surgery to remove the Mind Stone failed, and he could only barely escape to a forest.
"Are you alright?" Scarlet Witch rushed over from the battlefield and anxiously asked Vision.
"Ah, ugh!" Vision cried out in pain.
Scarlet Witch: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Vision: "He's here."
In the distance, the captain seemed to have sensed something as well, and pressed the communicator in his ear, saying, "Everyone, come here to meet me and prepare to engage the enemy."
The Black Widow beside her looked around and asked, "What's going on?"
Black Panther, the Chief of the Guard, and Hulk, seated in his armor, were all on high alert; a great battle was about to begin.
Suddenly, everyone noticed something and immediately looked in one direction.
Suddenly, a cloud of mist in three colors—red, blue, and white—appeared out of nowhere, crackling with electricity.
A moment later, the mist dissipated, and Thanos emerged from within.
Upon seeing Thanos, the group knew something was wrong. The captain, wielding his shield, shouted as he ran, "Stay alert! Stay vigilant!"
Thanos slowly walked towards Vision, and the massive Hulk armor leaped forward and punched Thanos, who then activated the power of the Infinity Stones.
The Hulk armor passed right through Thanos's body. Thanos turned around, and a burst of power from his left arm embedded the Hulk armor into the stone wall.
Just as Captain America was about to attack Thanos, Thanos turned around, raised his hand, and sent Captain America flying.
Black Panther leaped at Thanos, but Thanos grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground with his right fist.
Falcon flew rapidly, firing his gun repeatedly with both hands, but to no avail. Instead, he was knocked away by Thanos with a single blow.

Seeing this, Vision quickly grabbed Scarlet Witch, who was about to attack, and said, "It's time."
Scarlet Witch turned her head and refused: "No way!"
Vision said with a serious expression, "They can't stop him, but we can. Look at me, your power can destroy this gem."
"I don't want to."
Vision: "You have to do this, Wanda, please, we don't have much time left."
Scarlet Witch looked at Vision with deep affection and shook her head: "I can't do it."
Vision covered Scarlet Witch's hand and said, "You can do it, you're capable. If he gets his hands on the Primal, half the universe will be destroyed."
"It's not fair, but only you can do it. It's okay, you won't hurt me."
Scarlet Witch stared in anguish at Vision before her, raised her right hand, and a burst of pink energy erupted, connecting to the Mind Stone above Vision's head.
As Thanos approached step by step, while the other superheroes continued their fierce attacks, Scarlet Witch immediately increased her energy input.
And then he stretched out his other hand and used his power to attack Thanos.
Before long, the Mind Stone on Vision's head finally shattered under the witch's annihilation energy, and at the same time, Vision's head also shattered, and he died.
Seeing the gem shatter, Thanos showed no anger whatsoever. He slowly walked to Scarlet Witch and said softly:
"I understand you, child, more than anyone else."
The Scarlet Witch slumped to the ground, gritting her teeth as she replied, "You'll never understand."
Thanos bent down and stroked the witch's head, saying, "You can't imagine what I've lost today, but there's no time to mourn now. Time has no meaning now."
Thanos stood up, walked to the shattered Vision, and activated the green Time Stone in his left hand.
Then, the scattered illusions and gem fragments, like a movie playing in reverse, finally returned to their original state.
"No!" Scarlet Witch screamed in despair as she looked at Vision kneeling alive before her.
