Chapter 22: Showdown

"You're Thanos? The Titan who destroyed his home planet? Hey, it's okay!" Thor taunted as he poked Thanos' sore spot. Initially, he hadn't planned to speak first, but Thanos' intimidating presence made it difficult for him to stay silent.

Next to him, Ebony Maw, Thanos' top lieutenant, stepped forward and was about to reprimand Thor, but Thanos stopped him. He said calmly, "Oh? You know me? Odin's brat, you have quite a bit of nerve."

Then he glanced at the little girl trying to hide behind Thor. "Why, didn't answer your father call?"

The girl trembled, her eyes filled with both hatred and fear. She bit her lip and refused to speak.

Thor sneered, "Oh, a purple-skinned monster with blood on his hands, who kills half the population, actually has a daughter? Hahaha, I really want to get to know this! Who is the mother ? Could it be..."

Glancing at Proxima Midnight beside him, he gave an expression that any man would recognize, "Not bad, not bad, the blood doesn't flow into foreign fields—capable and skilled!"

It didn't matter if he was beaten or not; he refused to be intimidated!

Aside from Thanos, whose face remained hidden, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive looked furious.

Ebony Maw could no longer contain himself and shouted, "Shut up! You ignorant fools, how could you possibly understand the great master's intentions!"

Thanos said in a deep voice, "You need to understand the consequences of angering me!" He waved his hand as he spoke.

The subordinates understood. Since there was no experience to be gained from minions, Corvus Glaive was the first to charge. Thor's fabricated scandal about his wife had enraged him, and he wanted to tear Thor apart!

The double-bladed spear lunged, but Thor evaded its thrusts and grabbed the shaft as it retracted.

As Corvus Glaive prepared to react, a powerful electric shock from his weapon paralyzed him momentarily. He saw a foot surrounded by lightning growing larger...

With a loud "bang," Corvus Glaive was sent flying meters away.

Proxima Midnight moved like a streak of light towards Thor.

Thor did not dodge. He raised the Glaive of corvus glaive and struck at her with force. Proxima Midnight quickly raised her weapon to block, but the immense strength forced her to kneel.

As her weapon was knocked away and she was about to be finished off, a shadow fell before her...

"Be careful!" shouted the little girl behind her.

Thor caught Proxima Midnight and blocked a hammer hurled by Black Dwarf.

"Bang!" Another impact hit Proxima Midnight hard, causing her to fall unconscious to the side.

Black Dwarf charged forward, roaring with rage. Thor evaded his attack and moved directly towards Ebony Maw.

Ebony Maw waved his hand, causing the metal floor to twist and transform into spears aiming at Thor. The thunder surrounding Thor's glaive sliced through the projectiles, shattering them.

Thor swept his spear, knocking Black Dwarf out of the air. In the meantime, metal from the floor coiled into numerous ropes, attempting to bind Thor.

Ebony Maw sighed in relief and turned to face Thanos, but was instantly struck by a powerful thunderbolt that scorched half of his body...

For someone like Ebony Maw, who was highly effective against pure warriors or spellcasters, facing a superpowered warrior like Thor was a fatal mismatch...

Ignoring the recovering Black Dwarf not far away, Thor raised his spear, enveloped in lightning, and charged boldly towards Thanos.

With three of his subordinates down and the last one tricked by Thor, Thanos finally couldn't contain himself any longer.

This scene was too chaotic.
