The Cosmos is the main battlefield!
Though Thanos's legions had been reduced to cosmic dust by the devastating strikes of the Intergalactic Battleship, his flagship still retained formidable combat power. Fighter jets and dragon-shaped Warships swarmed through space, spreading chaos with impunity.
Šumer demonstrated formidable combat prowess, coordinating with the superheroes to engage Thanos' forces in a fierce battle across the Cosmos.
Meanwhile, after terminating his call with Thanos, Arthur received another communication, this time from J.A.R.V.I.S.!
It was hard to say whether Tony's Artificial Intelligence project was truly cutting corners.
In the end, he never actually developed an entirely new AI from scratch. Instead, he built upon the foundation of Jarvis, further upgrading and enhancing its capabilities.
This made Jarvis more comprehensive and autonomous, while also maximizing its loyalty to Tony.
As the connection was established, J.A.R.V.I.S.'s familiar synthesized voice echoed in Arthur's ears.
"Good evening, Instructor!"
Arthur changed into his combat suit, while Natasha immediately took the pilot's seat and began analyzing the battlefield situation. This intelligence would determine the course of the entire battle!
Arthur smiled at J.A.R.V.I.S and asked, "Is it evening already?"
"According to Earth's Camp Lehigh time, it is currently 7:30 PM, Instructor," J.A.R.V.I.S replied with unwavering precision. "How may I assist you?"
"Analyze the intelligence data and regulate the battlefield. Can you handle that?"
"Rest assured, this is my primary function."
"Excellent," Arthur said. "Natasha, transmit the battlefield analysis report to J.A.R.V.I.S' database. We need to eliminate these bouncing giants outside as quickly and efficiently as possible, before the ones inside collapse!"
"Understood!"
Natasha nodded. "We need your authorization."
An iris scanner popped up before Arthur. After he authorized it, Jarvis' voice echoed in his ear: "Commencing comprehensive battlefield analysis and comparison. Enemy and friendly data analysis is complete. War formation model restructuring. Attack initiated!"
"So, what am I supposed to do?" Arthur asked.
"Please attack a Spaceship," Jarvis replied without a hint of politeness. In total war, where ending the conflict swiftly was paramount, even the highest-ranking authority must fulfill its responsibilities and obligations.
This assertive tone was a clear departure from Jarvis' earlier deference.
The target coordinates were immediately transmitted to Arthur's device. In the next instant, his figure vanished from his original position.
"Signal lost from highest-ranking authority... Signal reacquired! Highest-ranking authority has reached target coordinates!"
…
As Jarvis's voice echoed through the Spaceship, Arthur had already arrived above another Spaceship.
This Spaceship appeared unremarkable, indistinguishable from countless others drifting through the Cosmos.
Yet, since Jarvis had instructed him to personally attack it, there must be a compelling reason.
Without hesitation, Arthur planted his feet firmly on the hull. In the next instant, he summoned his massive two-handed greatsword.
The greatsword hovered in the void, swirling with iridescent light. A moment later, the blade crashed down!
Fierce arcs of electricity and sparks erupted as an immense force surged from within the Spaceship.
Arthur frowned, reacting instinctively. He unleashed a punch without a second thought.
As his fist clenched, Cosmic energy coalesced completely within his palm. The instant his punch landed, the void exploded in a cataclysmic collapse of destruction.
Arthur faintly sensed that he had just obliterated something significant.
But he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was...
Jarvis' voice immediately echoed in his ears.
"Thank you for your assistance, Instructor. Without their commander, they will become fodder for Šumer!"
Arthur blinked. "I'm starting to think J.A.R.V.I.S. is going bad..."
Crimson energy suddenly erupted from the void, intertwining and annihilating an oncoming spaceship in an instant, reducing it to cosmic dust.
Arthur didn't bother observing the debris. Instead, he turned his gaze to Scarlet Witch Wanda.
Wanda tilted her head. "If I had aimed that attack at you just now..."
"Then I'd say you'd be doing extra training today," Arthur retorted, showing no courtesy to the beautiful woman.
Wanda's face darkened before she surveyed the battlefield. She was currently standing atop a spaceship, which navigated the Cosmos according to her will, moving wherever she wished it to go.
"Is this your battlefield?" Wanda's gaze was profound. If she hadn't met Arthur and reached an agreement with him, she might never have witnessed such vast and boundless realms.
Though she had witnessed similar cosmic spectacles countless times before, Wanda couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning...
As for whether it would be the end, she dared not say.
Arthur nodded. "Perhaps, for the immediate future, this is our final battlefield... Then, my dear girl, please continue!"
"What about you?" Wanda asked.
"I'm going to confront my own demons!" Arthur replied, his gaze fixed on Thanos's Spaceship.
Wanda followed his gaze, then fell silent. Only after Arthur had flown off did she murmur, "Why am I still here? Is it because I've finally accepted you? Or because I simply can't leave?"
Crimson energy coalesced around her, enveloping her body in a fiery aura. Like a meteor streaking across the cosmos, she erupted with red light, tendrils of crimson energy snaking through the void. Every warship touched by these tendrils exploded instantly, reduced to cosmic dust!
And... was it just her imagination?
After Arthur neutralized the Spaceship, the once evenly matched opponents suddenly seemed to lose all their vitality.
Their tactical maneuvers became chaotic, their team coordination nonsensical, as if they had instantly transformed from an elite squadron into a disorganized rabble!
Meanwhile, Šumer seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, becoming fiercely heroic and executing a relentless barrage of tactical maneuvers!
"Like they've seen a ghost..." Wanda muttered, collecting a life.
Elsewhere!
Arthur had reached his destination: directly above Thanos's Spaceship.
With a flash of movement, he instantly materialized into the heart of the battle!
At that moment, Thanos was mercilessly pummeling T'Challa. The instant Arthur appeared, he seized Thanos by the collar, flung him across the battlefield, and slammed him into the opposite alloy wall!
