Chapter 133: Flaws
Thanos sneered.
In his view, Thor was merely trying to create a distraction for a sneak attack.
The offspring of Odin's family are more cunning than expected.
Just as Thanos was about to act, he suddenly felt an intense energy surge from behind him. His face changed, and he quickly turned around, seeing a massive head growing larger in his sight.
"Boom—"
A golden figure struck Thanos's face with tremendous force, sending him tumbling several times on the ground.
As Thanos struggled to his feet, the golden figure quickly landed on his back, wrapping around his neck, and pinned his right hand holding the weapon to the ground. This happened almost instantly, leaving the Black Order unable to react.
The golden figure was Captain Marvel—Carol Danvers! When Thor headed to Nidavellir, she anticipated a fierce battle and used her communicator to join the fight.
Black Dwarf was the first to act, transforming his massive axe into a chain blade and hurling it at Carol.
With a sharp click, the Spear of Eternity intercepted the chain blade. Thor yanked it sharply, and the Black Dwarf was forced to release the chain.
Ebony Maw extended his fingers to manipulate materials on the ground, but thousands of red lights covered the area, rendering him unable to control anything with his powers. He looked over in shock and saw Wanda sneering, with scarlet energy swirling around her hands.
"Your partner's strength is impressive, but it's not enough..." Thanos struggled to say before forcing Carol away. He leaned back, using his massive body to slam into a steel pillar, which sent Carol crashing into the ground with a resounding thud.
Wanda was alarmed, but Thor reassured her, "Don't worry, she's incredibly tough, even more resilient than the Hulk."
As expected, the ground exploded moments later, and Carol shot up into the sky, her body glowing brightly. She was unharmed, and even her hairstyle remained intact.
"This is the opponent you're up against?" Carol greeted Thor casually.
Thor rolled his eyes, "There are so many people here. Anyway, ugly ones are never good, especially this purple one. But I don't think you'll kill him. He prefers to send his subordinates to fight."
"You can't kill him without me," Carol replied confidently.
Thanos was left speechless. Was this fierce woman even more arrogant than Thor?
Carol, boasting as usual, led the charge with an energy cannon blast to Thanos's face. She then charged and kicked his knee to force him to kneel, followed by a flurry of punches to his head. However...
Then there was no more. Thanos fought back fiercely, grabbing Carol's wrist and spinning her around in a 720-degree whirlwind before launching her several meters away with a powerful swing.
Thor covered his face. Carol's impressive combo nearly made him look out of place, and the result was impressive but short-lived...
Carol could fly, but Thanos couldn't, giving him an advantage in aerial combat...
Sister Surprise, I warned you years ago to focus on physical training, but did you really neglect it?
As Thor complained, his attention sharpened, and he realized a critical issue—
Carol, who had been thrown away, was losing her energy aura!
He remembered seeing a similar scene in a movie and thought it was a minor filming glitch... but it now seemed more serious.
Considering Captain Marvel's superpower form, it was likely that Carol's superpower had temporarily failed at this moment!
Thor recalled that during his fight against Yon Rogg, Carol also had a period where her superpower was limited, which occurred when she fell from a great height.
The common factor was that losing balance affected even her superpower...
What's worse, Thanos, with his rich combat experience, noticed this flaw before Thor did. He raised the Overlord Sky Blade and hurled it with overwhelming force towards Carol, who was being propelled backward. The speed was so great that it ignited the surrounding air.
Normally, Carol could withstand such a blow and wouldn't even need to dodge.
But right now, she was vulnerable.
If Captain Marvel were hit, she would be severely injured, if not killed.
Thor had no time to stop the attack and shouted, "Wanda!"
Wanda instantly understood, releasing her hold on Ebony Maw and extending her hand towards the Tyrant Sky Blade.
Red energy wrapped around the blade, halting it in mid-air. Wanda exerted force, causing the Tyrant Sky Blade to veer off course and fall aside.
