Let's Fight First

Life is full of unexpected encounters, and Xia Yu was helpless.

I immediately assessed my own strength. With the seventh level of the Black Tortoise Golden Body Art and the boost from my Internal Energy, I felt I was still no match for Thanos. But Thanos didn't have the Infinity Stones right now.

Xia Yu wanted to refer to Thanos's strength in the movie, but after thinking about it, he realized that the strength in the movie couldn't be used as a reference because there was no horizontal comparison. You can know who is strong and who is weak among the various Hero in the movie, but it's difficult to give an accurate strength ranking.

Because some changes resulted in significant differences before and after.

For example, Hulk's performance on Earth: even with Iron Man using his Nano Armor, he shouldn't be a match for Hulk, but Hulk's performance before Thanos...

Captain America and Loki's performances against Thanos: Thor, after awakening his Power of Thor, was no match for Ragnarok Thanos, but became incredibly powerful after wielding the axe. It can only be said that the strength of Hero is rather subjective.

But no matter how you look at it, Xia Yu is no match for Thanos right now. Putting aside everything else, just Thanos's powerful defense is something Xia Yu estimates he can't break through. This is the biggest boss in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in ten years, the Snap maniac! It's impossible for Xia Yu not to be nervous at all, but he's not too afraid, especially on a spaceship in the vast universe.

There's no other way but to take it one step at a time. At least I'll be able to leave soon. The system has already said it won't send me to a place where I'm sure to die.

Various thoughts raced through my mind, my brain working overtime in an instant.

Xia Yu suddenly laughed and said to Thanos:

"Good evening, sir... um... Mr. Purple Sweet Potato, where is this place? I'm sure you can tell I'm lost."

Xia Yu's tone carried a hint of friendliness, a touch of confusion, and a dash of bewilderment at being in an unfamiliar place.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Thanos chuckled slightly, clenched his fist and rested it on the armrest of his seat, his right temple against his fist.

"I've seen you, Xia Yu. You and your friends ruined my plans on Earth. I must say, sending Loki and Mar-Vell to Earth to retrieve the Tesseract was definitely underestimating you," Thanos said, tilting his head with a relaxed expression.

"You mean Loki led the Chitauri army to Earth, and you're the one behind it all, right? And you even know me?" Xia Yu pretended to be confused, even though he knew the truth.

But Thanos was puzzled that he recognized him. Had he secretly gone to Earth during the Battle of New York? That didn't make sense. So why did he know him?

Xia Yu suddenly remembered that Avengers seemed to know about the Thanos several times in the movie, and could easily call out Tony's name. This guy must have some kind of information channel on Earth, or he must have seen them using some kind of image transmission technology during the Battle of New York.

"Yes, it was indeed I who sent Loki to Earth to retrieve the Tesseract, but unfortunately he failed. However, I am now even more curious about you. You have the energy fluctuations of the Tesseract, but they are slightly different. I am very curious about what happened to you? Or rather, what mutation related to the Tesseract has occurred within you?"

Thanos looked at Xia Yu and said with great interest.

"Okay." Xia Yu plopped down on the ground; he was happiest when he could buy time.

"Anyway, I don't understand what happened to me. We can talk about that first, and then we can talk about why you sent people to cause trouble on Earth. By the way, are you alone on this ship?"

"You don't need to test me, kid. No one will come in without my orders. Don't worry. If it really comes to you, I'd be more interested in doing it myself," Thanos said calmly.

"I don't really care how many people fight me," Xia Yu said with a chuckle. "I'm more curious why you sent people to Earth to retrieve the Tesseract."

Xia Yu was still stalling for time. Once his deep energy went berserk, who knew where he would be teleported to in the universe?

"I can tell you're stalling for time. Is it because the Tesseract's energy can teleport you around? Looks like I need to hurry."

Thanos slowly stood up and walked towards Xia Yu.

"You know what? I don't really believe what you say, so it's safer to capture you and search your memories. As for what you want to know, I'll tell you after I get what I want, child."

As Thanos spoke, he walked to Xia Yu's side, and from his superior position, he opened his fan-sized hand and grabbed at Xia Yu's head.

When Thanos stepped down from his seat, Xia Yu's heart leaped into his throat, and his back was instantly drenched in sweat. As Thanos spoke and drew closer, Xia Yu felt an increasing sense of oppression, almost suffocating him.

It's all that damn movie's fault. After entering this world, Thanos has been a shadow in Xia Yu's mind.

Xia Yu knew he couldn't continue like this, otherwise he wouldn't dare to fight Thanos in the future. He had to break this psychological barrier.

Finally, Thanos walked to Xia Yu's side, and as soon as the last 'child' finished speaking, Thanos reached out his hand.

Finally, Xia Yu, who had been preparing for this moment, struck first and then launched an unprecedentedly huge golden dragon from his body.

"Who the hell gave you the guts to call me 'kid'? I'll beat you into calling me 'daddy' first."

With a roar from Xia Yu, Thanos was caught off guard and forced to retreat repeatedly by the golden dragon. Xia Yu instantly donned his Armor and followed closely behind. With his head forward and feet backward, he used the Armor's propulsion to maintain the same speed as Thanos's retreat, and his hands rained down a storm of palm strikes on Thanos's head.

Xia Yu attacked Thanos's head at a speed of nearly seventy or eighty palm strikes per second, targeting his nose, forehead, and especially that damned chin. Each palm strike contained Xia Yu's maximum Internal Energy output at this stage.

The golden dragon on Thanos's chest was still relentlessly pushing him away, and his head was being attacked repeatedly by Xia Yu. Thanos only had time to raise his other hand to protect his eyes before he could no longer care about anything else.

With his feet leaving two deep furrows in the ground, the golden dragon was almost at the end of its momentum. Xia Yu suddenly stopped his palm strike, slammed both palms hard on the top of Thanos's head, spun around in mid-air, and stomped his feet on Thanos's face with a powerful kick.

The person flew back in the opposite direction like an arrow released from a bow.

The giant golden dragon finally exploded, once again sending Thanos flying into the air.

As soon as Xia Yu landed, he began to gather his strength. He knew that if he stunned Thanos from the start, he shouldn't stop, otherwise he would realize that he was no match for him. From the brief exchange just now, Xia Yu could feel that Thanos's physical strength was beyond his imagination.

Xia Yu's full-force blow to his face felt like hitting hundreds of layers of cowhide, each layer cushioning the impact. Xia Yu felt as if his attack hadn't even penetrated his skin.

"So shameless! Let's see what your chest looks like then. Die, you Purple Sweet Potato..."

He roared to boost his morale.

Thanos, still in mid-air, was caught up by Xia Yu and Thanos in the chest.

"Strike the Ox Across the Mountain, breaking through the labor and capital..."

Whether it's four updates or three updates today depends on how many chapters are posted this afternoon.
