"Thanos!"
Thor immediately let out a furious roar.
His voice shot into the sky.
Whether it was Captain America and the others rushing toward the forest or Proxima Midnight and the others, they all heard Thor's shout.
Steve and the others tensed up and quickened their pace. At the same time, Captain America contacted Wanda and Vision, informing them that Thanos had arrived.
Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian, on the other hand, were instantly energized. They exchanged a glance and headed toward the God of Thunder.
Soon, they saw it.
Beside Thor and T'Challa was a patch of black-blue flames. The arm wearing the Infinity Gauntlet had reached out from those flames and was gripping the handle of Stormbreaker.
The two naturally recognized the Infinity Gauntlet.
But that gauntlet, or rather, that arm, looked far too human.
It definitely wasn't a Titan's hand.
But if it wasn't that overlord of the galaxy, then who could it be?
Who else could have taken the Infinity Gauntlet from that man's hands?
The answer was revealed soon enough.
As the black-blue flames disappeared... Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, Thor, and T'Challa all saw clearly that the one wearing the Infinity Gauntlet was a human man.
Blond hair, blue eyes, a red cape fluttering behind him, black vibranium armor reflecting the sunlight, and a faint smile on his face.
"What a shame."
"Thanos isn't coming."
"'Why',you think?"
"Probably because I cut off his head."
Alex glanced at the massive, savage-looking Fang of Destruction in his other hand.
Then the battle axe flew up.
Fang of Destruction, crackling with crimson-gold lightning, slammed into Thor's Stormbreaker.
The two divine battle axes collided head-on. Crimson-gold and silver-white lightning tangled together and exploded outward. Neither the weapons nor the lightning gained the upper hand.
But in terms of raw strength, Thor was clearly at a disadvantage.
He was sent flying by Fang of Destruction in a single blow.
He flew between Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian, Thanos' two trusted generals, before crashing onto the ground in the distance.
The two stopped and watched as Alex reached out and pulled T'Challa to his feet.
Looking again at the Infinity Gauntlet on Alex's hand, Proxima Midnight said in a low voice,
"Perhaps we should retreat."
Cull Obsidian let out a roar.
Proxima Midnight glanced at him, "If you're not leaving, I am."
"Back on the Asgardian refugee ship, that man was already able to suppress Lord Thanos."
"And now he's even obtained the Infinity Gauntlet. Lord Thanos has probably... already..."
Cull Obsidian fell silent.
Then Thor's furious roar echoed from above them.
Looking up, he saw the God of Thunder flying overhead, summoning the lightning from the skies once more as he launched another attack against the Conqueror.
The Conqueror didn't use the Infinity Gauntlet.
Instead, he raised his huge, ferocious battle axe, releasing crimson-gold lightning as it clashed with Stormbreaker once again.
Then the two exchanged blow after blow.
Lightning snaked across the battlefield. Figures flickered in and out. The battle was so intense that no one else could interfere.
Cull Obsidian felt the immense force of their collisions.
He felt the terrifying energy waves.
With a low growl, he turned and ran toward the spaceship.
Proxima Midnight took several steps backward, as though trying to burn the figure wearing the Infinity Gauntlet and wielding that savage battle axe into her memory.
Only then did she chase after Cull Obsidian.
Clang!
Stormbreaker and Fang of Destruction collided once again, sending countless sparks flying.
Thor suddenly noticed a tiny crack on Stormbreaker's blade.
The crack was no wider than a strand of hair.
Yet no matter how tiny it was, seeing such damage appear on Stormbreaker still made Thor's heart skip a beat.
This was a weapon forged for him by the Dwarf King.
A weapon that only the King of Asgard could wield.
Stormbreaker's quality was equal to Gungnir's.
A divine weapon like this should never have been damaged.
Yet now, a crack had appeared from a single collision.
It was unbelievable.
Of course, he had no way of knowing that the Fang of Destruction in Alex's hand possessed three special traits.
They were Divine Edge, Crimson-Gold Lightning, and Destruction Lightning.
Crimson-Gold Lightning allowed the battle axe to unleash powerful crimson-gold lightning with every attack.
Destruction Lightning was a devastating large-scale attack that destroyed everything indiscriminately.
But to Alex, neither of those traits was as practical as Divine Edge.
[Divine Edge: Fang of Destruction is incomparably sharp, capable of cutting through iron as though it were mud. When it clashes with other weapons, any weapon or equipment below the level of a divine weapon will be destroyed. When it collides with another divine weapon, it leaves behind damage that is extremely difficult to repair. Once enough damage accumulates, there is a chance that the opposing divine weapon will permanently lose one of its special traits
It was precisely because of this trait that Stormbreaker had been left with that tiny, almost insignificant, yet shocking crack.
It could be said that with Divine Edge, Alex could theoretically destroy every divine weapon.
At that moment, Thor leaped back, putting some distance between himself and Alex.
His expression turned incomparably grave.
Alex wasn't in any hurry to deal with Thor. Lowering Fang of Destruction, he looked at T'Challa.
"Where's Vision?"
"Is the Mind Stone still in his head?"
Thor immediately said, "So you really are collecting the Infinity Stones."
Alex casually waved the Infinity Gauntlet he had taken from Thanos.
"Wasn't that already obvious?"
Thor asked in a deep voice, "Do you also want to wipe out half the universe's population?"
Alex didn't think he owed him an explanation.
He ignored the question and looked at T'Challa instead.
Black Panther opened his helmet and respectfully said, "Honored Lord Conqueror, the Mind Stone has already been separated from Vision by Shuri."
"It is now in Shuri's possession."
Alex let out an "Oh," a little surprised. This wasn't how things had happened in the movie.
"Where's Shuri?"
T'Challa looked toward the forest behind them, "To avoid the Avengers, Shuri has already entered the forest."
"I was going to support her, but this Asgardian kept me occupied."
"I understand."
After saying that, Alex was about to head toward the forest.
But Thor had already charged at him.
"You're not going anywhere!"
Alex raised the Infinity Gauntlet.
The Reality Stone lit up.
Thor's body suddenly became like rubber.
He could no longer move freely. His entire body collapsed into a limp heap on the ground, with Stormbreaker falling beside him.
'Wait!'
'Don't go!'
In this state, Thor couldn't even make a sound.
He could only watch helplessly as Alex shot into the sky and sped toward the distant forest.
———
Inside the forest, Shuri moved nimbly through the rocks and trees like a mountain cat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A burst of bullets swept toward her.
But Shuri had sensed them in advance. Wearing her armor, she shifted agilely, letting the bullets strike only the rocks and trees.
