Crazy Attack attempted to counterattack, using his full power in Mind Tremor, but it was blocked by the White Queen.
"Traitor!" Red Skull roared angrily, unleashing his terrifying mental power. Under his pressure, the White Queen soon suffered a nosebleed, accompanied by a severe headache.
However, the onslaught of mental attacks paused after the giant metal sphere fell.
"You know that attacks like this will only obstruct our vision, right?" Strange looked at Magneto speechlessly, while Magneto, with a sour face, said, "Shut up and continue preparing your magic!"
The enormous metal sphere began to spread purple patterns before exploding, and a battered and bruised man emerged from it. His Space Stone and Time Stone abilities were restrained and rendered useless; in other words, if he lost this time, he would truly lose.
"I have defeated you before, and I can defeat you again!" the madman roared, the gem on his chest shining brightly under his will, but Rune keenly noticed that one of the gems was quite broken.
"Is that so?" Rune sneered. "You should know why you won last time. Your idea of dividing and conquering the heroes one by one was indeed brilliant, but you won't have that chance this time!"
He had long suspected that there was something wrong with the Red Skull in this world. The testimony from the Divine Spear Bureau had also indicated that this Red Skull had taken power by killing another Red Skull. Coupled with this familiar method, Rune was already 70-80% certain that he could prove that this Red Skull who had successfully become a berserker was actually the President from the Return of the Wolf universe.
In that universe, he united all the villains and divided the heroes, using Mysterio's illusions to have Wolverine slaughter X.
The X-Men, in turn, triggered a series of chain reactions, ultimately leading to the hero faction losing to the villains after losing the X-Men, a crucial fighting force. Rune deliberately misrepresented the cause of Red Skull's death during his probing, and his response confirmed his identity.
Rune pulled a brass knuckles from the air, put them on, adjusted the angle, and then grinned maliciously at Berserker, making a highly insulting gesture and saying, "Round two now, shall we?"
Unable to tolerate Rune's provocation, he charged at Rune in a furious rage.
Queen Bai leisurely took out a small bag, a gift from Rune. Inside was a tool to deal with the Mind Stone. It was made of some unknown alloy, with pale blue neural electricity flowing across its surface, and fine circuit patterns pulsating like a living thing.
The brainwave enhancement device was a crown woven from futuristic technology and mysterious energy. When Magneto personally took out the device and put it on the White Queen, the huge mental fluctuations completely negated the influence of the Mind Stone on Rune.
"Hurry up, lad, I can't hold this thing up for much longer—"
Rune, who was fighting against the onslaught, was naturally not having an easy time either.
With a savage grin, Kuang Gong unleashed a punch, the cosmic energy manipulated by the Power Gem pouring out like a torrent, obliterating everything in its path. Rune, however, neither dodged nor evaded, but crossed his arms, his dark magic coalescing into a shield that deflected the attack at a certain angle—taking this blow head-on was still somewhat difficult for Rune at his current state.
Rune was not to be outdone. He arrived in front of Berserker at lightning speed and delivered a powerful punch. Berserker, however, stood there like a fool, frozen in place. In fact, he wanted to use the power of the Space Stone, but the stone had been suppressed by another of its kind, and he hadn't reacted in time.
The consequences of this oversight were extremely dire; a deep fist mark was imprinted on Mad Attack's massive head. Mad Attack did indeed possess the powers of Magneto and Professor X, but the reason he was able to wipe out almost all the heroes in the earliest version was because he absorbed the genes of almost all mutants—including Franklin Richards—and gained all their powers.
Red only saw Berserker's strength through the Observer's Eye, but didn't see why Berserker was so strong—or perhaps she saw it but felt indifferent because she already had the Infinity Stones.
Looking back now, perhaps it was Franklin Richards who sensed Red Skull's intentions and deliberately erased his parents' memories.
At this moment, Kuang Gong was still in a daze from being hit on the head. The powerful brass knuckles given by Satan could accurately transmit the runes' terrifying dark magic, and they were incredibly hard. Most importantly, this thing could be modified.
Taking advantage of the moment of panic in the attacking man, Rune punched him in the eye again. This time, the attacking man screamed. The reason was simple: the Ghost Rider, shrunk by Rune, was embedded in the knuckle duster. To outsiders, it was just a knuckle duster decorated with a skull.
As Rune punched Berserker in the eye, Johnny Blaze unleashed Soul Judgment, while Berserker cried out in anguish.
His eyes had burned away completely, revealing lines that could trigger trypophobia in anyone.
If it weren't for the Soul Gem suppressing Soul Judgment, Berserker would probably have been killed by it.
"Look, even with the Infinity Stones, you're still no match for them," Rune mocked coldly. By now, Berserker had lost access to the Soul, Mind, Space, and Time Stones. The only two he could still use were the Reality Stone and the Power Stone.
However, the next moment, the Power Stone inexplicably fell from Berserker's chest. After losing one Infinity Stone, the five Infinity Stones could no longer form a cycle as before, and Berserker's power dropped another level. The White Queen, who was restraining the Mind Stone, immediately relaxed, and Scarlet Witch also relaxed a little.
Suddenly, a man in a special uniform jumped out from an open space: "Aha! Avengers, the Wasp and I are the ones who turned the tide! Look, we saved the world!"
The speaker was Ant-Man. Scott hadn't chosen to fight the villains earlier; he believed the key was the Infinity Stones on Berserker's chest, so he went straight to dismantle them. However, when he reached Berserker's chest, he unexpectedly found all the heroes captured, which was why he hadn't made a move until Rune arrived.
The Wasp also revealed herself and gave Rune a thumbs-up.
"Well done." Magneto nodded to Ant-Man, then raised his hands. The next moment, all the metal items worn by the villains were taken away. For many villains, this was basically sending them to their deaths. For example, Hammerhead screamed in pain and tried to cover his head, but unfortunately, his metal head clearly preferred Magneto.
It wasn't just hammerheads; many technologically modified villains also lost something important to them, such as their hands, heads, or certain large cannons...
"Ugh!" Magneto looked at the incoming cannon with disgust and threw it away in an instant, but he didn't forget to remind Rune: "Remember to leave Red Skull for me."
"Don't worry." Rune nodded. After his series of anti-Berserk attacks took effect, Berserk, which only had one Reality Gem left to use, was already at its last gasp.
At this moment, the madman covered his eyes and screamed, "Fine, fine, let's all die together!"
With a wave of his hand, a portal appeared, from which came deafening roars.
