Chapter 183: Cap
Beside Doctor Strange, Fatty Wang emerged slowly. Observing the dire state of the Chitauri, his expression turned odd. "What kind of hatred is this? I've never seen a little girl who remains so indifferent while killing..."
Strange smiled without speaking.
Although he didn't know where Jean Grey came from, he could infer that she was not from this universe and had faced discrimination and exclusion in her previous world.
Upon arriving in this world, Thor was the first to treat her with kindness. Asgard provided her with a sense of belonging, different from the Earth she once knew. For her, Asgard felt like home.
Thanos and his forces had nearly destroyed Asgard with Ragnarok. It was only thanks to Thor's calming influence that Jean Grey hadn't fled...
Wang studied the scene for a moment before asking, puzzled, "Why do I feel that this isn't her full strength?
It seems like there's an immensely powerful force within her that's lying dormant. This power is terrifying—perhaps even scarier than Dormammu. Once it awakens, I'm worried..."
Wang fell silent. As one of Thor's allies, he didn't want to speak ill of her...
"It will be fine. She has a device that limits her power, so she won't lose control easily."
Strange cut in and glanced at the necklace around Jean's neck.
It was the Universe Circle. Although it was concealed, Thor couldn't see it, but as the Sorcerer Supreme, Strange could discern it immediately.
"Even if that day comes, we still have Thor."
Wang noted that Strange's comment wasn't "won't lose control," but rather "won't lose control easily."

On the southern coast of Manhattan, another battle had begun.
Corvus Glaive quickly identified Steve Rogers as the leader of this group, or at least the spiritual leader, given the prominence of his shield.
Moreover, Steve's strength appeared to be quite average, marking him as a formidable yet ordinary individual...
By eliminating the leader, the morale of the enemy would undoubtedly be shaken.
Then, breaking through their defenses would allow entry into the Thanos Sanctuary in New York.
No matter how powerful Thor is, he couldn't stop the destruction caused by such large-scale casualties.
Seemingly reading his thoughts, Steve didn't retreat. With a flick of his wrist, his massive shield soared through the air with a whoosh and aimed directly at Corvus Glaive's head.
Faced with Steve's thrown shield, Corvus Glaive didn't even flinch, wearing a disdainful grin.
You lost your weapon right at the start, and you still think you can defeat me? Are you a fool?
How could you possibly fight me with your bare hands now?
He charged forward with a fierce expression, intent on killing this ignorant mortal in one blow.
"Bang..." A sudden, powerful strike to the back of Corvus's head sent him crashing to the ground like a ragdoll.
"Wow, that's impressive!"
Spider-Man Peter Parker, hanging from a street lamp, whistled and called out, "Hey, ugly uncle, planning to surrender? No need to bow; we don't do that here!"
"Maybe he is just too afraid of dying..." Ant-Man remarked.
"Perhaps this guy is used to kneeling before Thanos!" Star-Lord added.

After landing at Stark Tower, the Guardians of the Galaxy were quickly introduced to Thor and then directed to the southern battlefield.
Though this group was amusing, they were also formidable.
Among Marvel's four chatterboxes, three were present, with one in another parallel world...
The three powerful warriors.
Corvus Glaive: "..."
The common trait among Thanos's minions was their disdain for Earthlings. They considered this place a desolate, uncivilized world—a haven of primitive people.

Having been humiliated by a lowly creature in his eyes and severely mocked by three superheroes, Corvus Glaive was filled with rage and intent on killing.
He lunged at Steve, only to regret it almost immediately.
On the opposing side, the native Earthling, though only enhanced, proved to be incredibly resilient.
Steve's invincible shield seemed to defied all physical laws. It seemed to be more effective than magic, always appearing in the most opportune positions.
Despite being clearly outmatched, Corvus Glaive couldn't gain the upper hand and struggled to make any progress.
"Boom…"
After an intense clash, the two combatants separated, with Steve grinning, "I could fight all day!"
