Chapter 260: Thanos Goes Mad
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!…"
...
The strong control of "Pure Land of Bliss" also has its weaknesses. The control breaks when the controlled individual faces a clear attack intent. Thus, attacking Thanos hastily is unwise.
Regardless of Thanos or his three generals present, with their defenses up, it's hard to deliver a fatal blow to them. The most one can hope for is a slight upper hand at best.
Instead, it's simpler to dismantle the bigger target with no top fighters guarding it - the Sanctuary II.
Grass-cutting mode, begins!
However, Clark is not foolhardy enough to rush in and wildly hack at Thanos' 200-strong crew. Such an approach would yield little success once Thanos and his team break free from control.
Clark's grass-cutting method mainly involves using shockwaves to target the ship's armory.
Thus, in less than a minute, the magnificent Sanctuary II became cosmic fireworks under Clark's relentless destruction.

Witnessing the massacre of his main forces and the destruction of his flagship Sanctuary II by Clark, even Thanos, with his temperament, couldn't help but feel the sting.
He now desperately wished to wield his forty-meter-long oar-like blade and fight this annoying youngster.
But he was helpless under the control of "Pure Land of Bliss"!
Thanos, controlled to smile and posture seductively, aimed flirtatious gestures at the Collector, who was despicable in both appearance and character.
The scene was as nauseating as it was repulsive.

After dealing with the Sanctuary II, Clark returned to the battlefield. Transforming his weapon, the Living Tribunal, into a giant scythe, he slaughtered Thanos' elite squad as if they were mere vegetables.
The weakness of "Pure Land of Bliss" provided Thanos a chance to defend himself in a critical moment, but it meant nothing to his nameless minions. By the time Clark's blade swung their way, whether they regained freedom or not, their fate was sealed.

Dancing Thanos was in agony. His operation, which initially included hundreds of thousands of troops, was reduced to just the four of them within minutes.
The only silver lining for Thanos was the limitation of the controlling music, or else Clark would have targeted him, the big boss, instead of the minions.
But now, with the situation deteriorating, Thanos feared he might be left completely alone.
Using a graceful turn, Thanos saw Clark targeting Corvus Glaive after clearing out all the minions!
He was indeed serious about it!

Transforming cloth into a sword, Clark activated the Space Stone, enveloping his blade in a blue glow with the power to slice through voids, aiming straight for Corvus Glaive's throat.
Clark chose to eliminate the most loyal general first.
As Clark attacked, Corvus Glaive broke free from control, narrowly dodging the lethal blow, but his long blue hair was partially sheared off by the sword energy.
And with her dodge, the battle fell into Clark's rhythm. Corvus Glaive had to dodge in the simplest and quickest ways, exactly as Clark had planned, leading her to a dead end.
Three strikes!
In just three blows, Corvus Glaive, another female general of Thanos, fell to Clark's blade.
No more females were left among the Dark Order's top ranks, driving Thanos to fury.
Thanos always sought balance, even in recruiting his subordinates. With three men and two women among the Black Order generals, and counting his two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula, it was balanced. But now, with two generals and both daughters gone, where was the balance in his forces?
As the music neared its end, Thanos seethed with anger.
"Wait till I break free from this control… Ah, what's this?"
Thanos was shocked to see Clark, instead of attacking Ebony Maw or Black Dwarf, swiftly snatching his personal weapon and storing it in his spatial storage.
How could Clark be more infuriating?

As Thanos' giant blade was taken, the music of "Pure Land of Bliss" reached its climax. Finally regaining control of his body, Thanos immediately turned and threw a punch at Clark.
Simultaneously, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf, filled with pent-up anger after Clark had wiped out their forces, joined in the attack.
Facing the combined attack of the three powerhouses, even Clark couldn't afford to be careless.
Transforming the Living Tribunal into a staff, Clark activated the Power Stone, unleashing a purple energy wave to repel the unarmed Thanos.
Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf, only as strong as Ronan, were no match for the Power Stone's strike. They were sent flying, crashing through numerous buildings in the Void.
Fighting Clark without his weapon, Thanos felt immense pressure, especially remembering how Clark had smugly taken his blade. But Thanos was not one to complain.
Seizing Corvus Glaive's fallen spear, he charged at Clark, now wielding a weapon he was less familiar with.
Clark laughed heartily, wielding his staff with the Power Stone's energy and unleashing a fierce attack: "I've never seen Thanos use a spear before. The sight of you with this spear, considering your size, is just hilarious!"

Thanos was seething inside. If it weren't for Clark taking his preferred weapon...
Holding back his anger, Thanos focused on deflecting the powerful blows from Clark. Despite Thanos' strength, it was challenging to fend off the barrage of attacks, especially since Clark targeted his left side relentlessly, disrupting any semblance of balance.
After seventeen consecutive powerful strikes, forcing Thanos to retreat, Ebony Maw was the first to return, intending to rejoin the battle and defend his master.
With the Living Tribunal's power at its peak, Clark seemed ready to unleash another ferocious blow. Thanos braced himself, determined to endure this attack and fight back.
But unexpectedly, Clark suddenly changed the direction of his attack. With a swift retreat, he combined the power of both the Power and Space Stones, launching an unstoppable strike at Ebony Maw.
