Charlotte looked at the weapon in his hand. Only the hilt remained; the entire blade had snapped in the clash just now. Sure enough, against Thanos's double-edged sword, an ordinary Vibranium weapon was no longer enough.
Clang!
Charlotte threw the hilt in his hand straight to the ground.
Just as Charlotte was about to keep fighting, the Avengers' Big Three launched an attack on Thanos.
Clearly, they did not intend to let Charlotte take on Thanos alone. They had only wanted to gauge the other side's strength just now.
With a furious roar from Thor, the battle officially began.
Blue lightning tore through the dim sky, reflecting against the lightning crackling over Thor's body.
Thor charged in first, Stormbreaker in his right hand and Mjolnir in his left. At the same time, Tony Stark flew into the sky, the right hand of his armor transforming into a massive blade. Blue-white light flickered over the edge as he brought it crashing down toward Thanos's head.
Thanos used his double-edged sword to block Tony Stark's attack, then followed through by knocking Steve's shield away with one slash, while kicking the charging Thor to the ground.
Clearly, in their first exchange, the Avengers' Big Three gained no advantage whatsoever.
At that moment, the laser in Tony Stark's hand shot toward Thanos's head. However, the other man merely tilted his head and dodged the attack. Then he brought the double-edged sword in front of him, and the incoming laser struck the blade before reflecting off in every direction.
Charlotte watched the four of them fight and did not step forward to help. Instead, he deactivated his Eight Inner Gates, though a Vibranium weapon appeared in his hand once more. This time, its shape resembled the Kusanagi Sword.
On the other side, Banner, Rhodey, and
