The Exploding Sanctuary II
Thanos was truly enraged this time. He hadn't been this angry in a long time. Whether it was Thanos in the comics who was seduced by the Goddess of Death, or Thanos in the movies who watched his homeland being destroyed, his fate was quite tragic.
In the movie, Thanos dedicated his entire life to that twisted goal: to wipe out half of all life in the universe.
Judging from the 'Garden' where he retired after his successful scheme, Purple Sweet Potato didn't actually crave power or strength. But in every respect, Thanos was undoubtedly a powerful figure in the universe.
He possesses power and influence that surpasses the entire universe, and intelligence that rivals Tony Stark's genius. Therefore, deep down, he is proud and aloof.
Countless beings had hurled vicious curses at Thanos along his journey, cursing everything about him, but Thanos had never paid them any heed. He only cared about his own goals. However, Xia Yu's relentless attacks on his lower body had stirred a hint of anger in him.
The mere mention of Walking the Dog completely ignited the fire.
Thanos was furious...
"I took you seriously as an opponent, which may have been my mistake. Actually, you pose no threat to me whatsoever, except for being a bit of a nuisance by jumping around. But one day you will have nowhere to run, and I will tear you to pieces with my own hands."
Thanos ignored Xia Yu, turned around and returned to his seat, pressed a button, and then pulled his Overlord's Heavenly Blade from the base of his seat.
"You are not worthy of the title of a strongman, you are not worthy to be my opponent." Thanos turned around and said to Xia Yu.
At that moment, the door behind Thanos opened, and dozens of Thanos's men rushed in. They looked like Thanos's personal guards, but there were no Black Order or his adopted daughters among them, nor were they Thanos's top generals.
"Set up Energy Shield around us to continuously shrink our fighting range. You don't need to interfere with anything else." Overlord's Heavenly Blade twirled his Blade of Thanos and pointed it at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu turned his head and spat without any mercy.
"If you can't handle me, just say so. Why do you have to talk about whether a strong person is worthy of an opponent? Do you think that just because I'm not worthy of being your opponent, we can lay down our weapons and become friends? Do you expect me to kneel down and call me 'Dad'?"
Thanos was not angry this time. Instead, he silently protected his subordinates and set up Energy Shield, slowly approaching Xia Yu.
Although Xia Yu expressed disdain for Thanos, his mind was racing. If Thanos got close and he couldn't escape, he really couldn't fight him; he'd be torn to pieces by Thanos.
But this time, no matter what Xia Yu sent from a distance, Thanos simply brushed it aside with his weapon and walked towards Xia Yu step by step.
His men were installing something small every few steps behind Thanos. Xia Yu knew that this must be the Energy Shield Thanos had mentioned, and that he might not be able to get out.
Thanos moved closer and closer, but he didn't get too close to Xia Yu. Instead, he cleverly kept enough distance so that no matter which way Xia Yu broke through, he would have enough time to intercept Xia Yu laterally.
Thanos's face began to reveal a mocking smile, like a cat catching a mouse.
Then suddenly Xia Yu also laughed, a bright and happy laugh, like a mouse that had stolen some cheese.
Xia Yu's smile was so radiant that Thanos subconsciously glanced back at his subordinates.
Xia Yu didn't take advantage of the situation to do anything; he just felt that sense of weightlessness returning to his mind.
Having experienced this several times before, Xia Yu knew that the Space Stone's energy was out of control again, which meant that he would be teleported away again.
Until blue-black spatial mist energy began to emanate from Xia Yu's body.
"Oh no, I have to run!" Thanos thought to himself.
Unfortunately, it was too late, but leaving without a word was definitely not Xia Yu's style.
In less than a second, Xia Yu threw more than a dozen boxes at Thanos and his group.
More than half of them were equipped with high-powered Missiles, while the rest were man-portable hand grenades.
The Missiles were thrown in a very orderly fashion, but Xia Yu deliberately opened the box and scattered the individual combat grenades.
"A shower of flowers!"
Xia Yu shouted at the overwhelming grenades he had unleashed.
Thanos simply swung away the things thrown at him, but with so many grenades, some of his men still picked up energy ray pistols and fired at the chaotic mess in the air.
Thanos's eyes narrowed, but it was too late to stop him. However, it didn't matter whether he stopped Xia Yu or not, because Xia Yu had casually activated a bracelet when he threw it out.
Amidst the grenades raining down, no one noticed.
"BOOM!~!~!~!"
An explosion rang out, and Xia Yu disappeared into the blue light.
Xia Yu was too preoccupied to hear Thanos's roar.
In fact, Thanos didn't even have time to roar before the massive explosion began; this small amount of weaponry explosion was no match for Thanos.
But don't forget, this is inside a spaceship, in the vast universe.
Perhaps it was fate that this ship was the Sanctuary II that Mar-Vell had Mar -Thanos Vell take to Earth's wormhole for some fun, and perhaps it was destined to be destroyed by the Avengers.
Or rather, it was ruined by Xia Yu.
These Missiles might not be powerful enough to completely destroy the Sanctuary II, but unfortunately, the fuel tank is located below it. This is the very rear of the Sanctuary II, Thanos's personal palace, with the bridge at the very front.
The chain reaction of numerous grenades successfully detonated the Missile, Missile in turn triggered the explosion of the fuel tank below.
Sanctuary II, an aerial city capable of long-term space travel, boasts an immense amount of fuel, weapons, energy, and more.
A massive, deafening explosion.
From tail to head, it exploded in a chain reaction, section by section.
It could be due to plot inertia, or Thanos might simply have survived.
Gamora and Nebula, who had just received Thanos's orders and were preparing to set off to help Ronan the Accuser, had only been on their small spaceship for a short time when an explosion behind them nearly capsized it.
After the shockwave subsided, the two men exchanged a glance, both seeing horror in each other's eyes. No enemies were approaching; had the spaceship malfunctioned?
The two survivors quickly turned around and drove towards the wreckage of Sanctuary II, as their father was still on the spaceship.
Their feelings towards Thanos were very complex, a mixture of hatred and affection, as they had been raised from childhood and couldn't bear to see him die before he completely betrayed them.
Thanos's special physical condition allows him to remain in space for an extended period, meaning he is destined to be rescued.
Xia Yu didn't even consider Thanos was dead or not; in his view, this final boss certainly wouldn't be so easily killed by his own trickery.
The most important thing is where we are right now. This is an incredibly prosperous city. Xia Yu looked up and saw bustling crowds everywhere, with all sorts of races. It's definitely not Earth.
Xia Yu was standing by a fountain. Looking at the fountain, Xia Yu felt a strange sense of familiarity. Looking at the surrounding environment, Xia Yu smiled.
This is one of the three major empires in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Xandar.
There will be another chapter tonight, I don't know what time, but it will definitely be there.
