Chapter Fifty-Four: Supergiant, Die!

"Congratulations to the host for discovering the mission 'Eternal Secret' Branch 3. Complete all the branches to finish the mission!"

"Branch 1: Completed!"

"Branch 2: Completed!"

"Branch 3: Stop Supergiant from taking the Tesseract and eliminate her!"

At that moment, Thor finally grasped the key to repairing the timeline.

Whether it was Captain America's story or Howard Stark's future, these were not major changes.

Even if he wanted to fix them, it wasn't necessarily his job to do so.

The real impact came from Supergiant and the Tesseract.

Without the Tesseract, Captain Marvel wouldn't appear in the future, and the Avengers wouldn't exist.

Humanity would be delayed in its contact with alien civilizations by more than a decade...

No wonder there were only four members in Thanos' Black Order. It turns out that Supergiant had perished on Earth in the 1940s.

A female figure approached slowly, slender yet with a face uglier than Ebony Maw's...

"Who are you?" Supergiant demanded, wary. Though clad in ancient battle armor, the figure before her exuded more pressure than any previous foe.

A strange wave of energy emerged, splitting into two. One floated towards Thor, and the other silently drifted towards Peggy Carter nearby.

With a crackle, dazzling lightning surrounded the area, instantly dissipating Supergiant's energy.

"Don't try your mind control tricks; you don't stand a chance against me," Thor said disdainfully.

He genuinely underestimated this Thanos scout. Even after dealing with your master Thanos, who are you?

Supergiant's face paled. She hadn't expected the spiritual power of her opponent to be so vastly superior. Gritting her teeth, she transformed her psychokinesis into a long spear and thrust it towards Thor.

With a thunderous clash, mingled with lightning, Thor's punch struck the spear's tip, shattering it instantly. The remaining force sent Supergiant flying.

"Ah—" she screamed, soaring over ten meters before landing heavily, staring at Thor in terror.

With the Tesseract now secured, survival was her priority. She gathered her remaining strength, released a burst of energy towards Peggy Carter, and fled in another direction.

Thor quickly moved in front of Peggy Carter and punched the energy ball. Supergiant was no match for him, and the other generals of the Black Order were insignificant in comparison. She alone was an easy target; keep an eye on her mind control, and she could be dealt with effortlessly.

"She's trying to escape!" Despite trusting Thor, Peggy was shocked by the recent events. Seeing Supergiant boarding an unfamiliar fighter jet, she cried out.

"She won't get away." Thor's gaze was resolute. He pointed to the sky, and a flash of lightning surged upwards, the surrounding wind whipping violently.

Peggy Carter had never seen such a sight before. The black clouds seemed to press down on the earth, and the thunder roared as if the sky were about to collapse.

In the distance, a brilliant lightning bolt streaked across the sky, heading straight for the fighter jet with the power to obliterate everything in its path.

As Supergiant, still in shock, saw the blinding light, she cried out in terror.

"No—" Her scream was swallowed by the lightning as the fighter jet was incinerated instantly.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission 'Eternal Secret' Branch 3: Stop Supergiant from taking the Tesseract and kill her!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing all the branches of the 'Eternal Secret' task. Reward: Eternal Life!"

"Warning! The task of repairing the timeline is complete. The host will return in ten minutes! Please prepare!"

"Warning! The host cannot bring any living things to the future! Forcibly carrying them will result in automatic deactivation!"
