Chapter 82: Killing the Quartet

In a dimly lit room, Thor's figure materialized slowly.

Surveying the surroundings, he couldn't help but mutter, "Thanos' taste is dreadful. This massive battleship is a complete mess—no wonder Carol turned it into scrap metal..."

"Who's there!"

A group of soldiers quickly noticed the intruder and drew their energy guns, rushing forward with alarmed shouts.

"Crack——"

A surge of lightning erupted from Thor, enveloping them and instantly turning them to ashes.

"Alert! The host has eliminated Chitauri soldiers. Mission points +1..."

"Alert! The host has eliminated Chitauri soldiers. Mission points +1..."

"Alert! The host has eliminated Captain Chitauri. Mission points +10..."

In an instant, the mission points on the system panel surged to "25/10000," a score that typically requires more than twenty such encounters...

Indeed, defeating enemies and leveling up is the key!

As Thanos' base, Sanctuary II was heavily guarded, and the disturbance quickly drew more attention.

Another team of Chitauri and several vanguards arrived, only to become cannon fodder once more...

Thor, surrounded by a storm of thunder, used his awakened thunder power to prevent any soldier from getting close.

Even the formidable giant apes could not withstand the combined might of Thunder and Phoenix force. They were torn apart with a single strike of Thor's hammer.

Points accumulated rapidly, reaching the thousands in less than half a minute, though Thor still found the progress too slow...

With Mjölnir raised high, he activated the propellers of a standard helicopter.

A tornado storm quickly formed, growing larger with each moment, while countless lightning bolts crackled violently.

Under the terrified gaze of Thanos' forces, the tornado began its advance, sweeping through the battlefield.

Like a tempest, the storm overwhelmed everything in its path. Whether Chitauri soldiers or the mighty giant apes, none could resist the force. Those caught in the storm were crushed instantly, leaving no trace behind.

"Boom..."

The tornado storm continued its relentless path through Sanctuary II, annihilating everything. Thor's points surged uncontrollably...

"Alert! Congratulations to the host for completing the task—Thanos Terminator. Current points: 10000/10000."

Ceasing the storm and surveying the devastation and the terrified enemy forces in the distance, Thor nodded in satisfaction.

The task for today was complete; it was time to move on!

The Tesseract glowed in Thor's hand and vanished.

Less than half a minute after Thor's departure, a furious roar echoed: "Who? Who dares to invade the headquarters of the great Titan Lord Thanos?"

Ebony Maw arrived at the scene, his face contorted with anger. He had reached as quickly as possible, but Sanctuary II was vast...

…

On Earth, Thor appeared in the yard.

"Where have you been?"

Hela asked with a frown. "Did you go to battle?"

Though Thor bore no physical marks from the fight, his intense aura of violence was undeniable.

"Yes, I raided the lair of a cosmic tyrant."

"A cosmic tyrant?" Hela's expression turned serious.

Given Thor's arrogance, the term 'tyrant' suggested a truly formidable adversary.

"How did it go?"

"I didn't even get the chance to confront him. He has too many soldiers. While their individual combat strength isn't as strong as Asgardian soldiers, their numbers are in the tens of millions."

Hela was momentarily speechless.

The entire Asgard, even at full strength, had fewer than 100,000 soldiers...

Thor sighed inwardly. Although the raid had gone smoothly, it had been costly.

Thanos' legion was indeed powerful. No wonder, during the ultimate battle in the original storyline, nearly every significant force in the Marvel universe united to be overwhelmed by Thanos' army.

The strategy of overwhelming numbers proves effective when deployed in such vast quantities.
