Chapter 132: Hey, Meteor!

Nidavellir, the homeland of the dwarves, is a special neutron star.

For the dwarves, this neutron star serves not only as a forge for crafting magical weapons but also as a source of light and heat for their daily lives.

A multitude of powerful metals surround the neutron star, forming a steel city where the dwarves reside.

Under normal circumstances, as Asgard's premier arsenal, Nidavellir would not be easily provoked. However, the threat before them was clearly an exception.

"Demon, you will face retribution. Asgard will not let you go!" Dwarf King Eitri glared at Thanos and his entourage with fury.

There were only five attackers, but each of them possessed terrifying strength. The dwarves had no chance against them and had all been subdued within half an hour.

"Whether I am a demon or a god, I don't expect everyone to approve of what I do," Thanos said calmly, waving the Overlord Sky Blade in his hand. "Forge the Infinity Gauntlet to hold all six gems, and I will spare half of your clan. Otherwise, your entire race will be erased from the universe."

Nearby, all the dwarves were restrained and sprawled on the ground. Ebony Maw pointed, causing dozens of steel spears to float in the air, aimed at the trembling dwarves below.

"Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue. I despise endless negotiations, so let's be direct. From now on, every hour that passes will see 30 of your people killed. You have about ten hours to complete your task—your forging."

Thanos spoke with chilling intent. Based on his information, Odin was not currently in Asgard, and his whereabouts were unknown.

To Thanos, this was an opportunity to test Asgard's limits.

For this reason, he had brought only the four Black Order generals with him. With their formidable power, they were more than enough to handle the situation and prevent the dwarves from stalling.

"Master, be careful!" Ebony Maw warned as Thanos suddenly displayed a surprising agility for his massive size, rolling to avoid the fiery light descending from the sky. The blinding light forced them to shield their eyes.

"Hey, Deviant Purple Eternal , you really are aging well," Thor's teasing voice came through the Bifrost light. "If you're so afraid of seeing me, I can always come back later. No need to rush."

Thanos lowered his hand from his eyes and saw Thor and Wanda standing before the captured dwarves, holding the holy spear Gungnir.

Wanda raised her hands, red energy flashing as the steel spears in the air twisted into a tangled mess before dropping to the ground.

Thanos ignored Wanda, focusing on Thor and, more specifically, on the spear in Thor's hand.

"Gungnir, what a dear old friend. I doubt you're worthy of it, though."

"Whether or not you deserve it, Gungnir has missed you greatly, especially the feeling of smiting you."

"Silence! The Great Master is not someone you can insult!" Ebony Maw snapped, earning a scornful look from Thor.

"Shut up. How dare a servant talk back? This is the same person who was beaten like a dog by my father and then sneaked into the Nine Realms."

Great? Do you call someone who would annihilate half the life in the universe without cause or enmity great? Oh, it's truly great.

The Titan Star produced such an unworthy descendant like you. It deserves to be reduced to rubble."

The four generals of the Black Order kept silent. Ebony Maw noticed that Thanos's expression had darkened significantly.

The loss of Titan had always been a painful topic for Thanos, a planet destroyed due to resource depletion, leading Thanos down the path of extinction.

Thanos's face twisted with rage and resolve. He had decided that Thor would be kept alive to witness the destruction of Asgard and understand—

You should never provoke someone like me!

"Shall we fight together? Or will it be the same as last time?"

If you can handle it, don't force it. But if you can't, then you must try harder.

"Oh, then I'll make sure you suffer," Thanos sneered, raising the Tyrant Sky Blade and advancing slowly.

The Black Order kept their focus on Wanda. Since Thanos wanted to deal with Thor himself, they had no intention of intervening. They were confident in Thanos's strength.

Their task was to keep an eye on the mysterious sorceress.

Thor gripped Gungnir tightly, prepared for battle.

As the distance between them shrank to less than ten meters, Thor suddenly glanced behind Thanos and whistled.

"Hey, Shooting Star!"
