Captain America's Solo Show

The force of this explosion was enormous.

When the explosion occurred, it looked as if two Suns appeared in the New York sky.

The Captain had just arrived at the Avengers Compound outside New York.

Before we even entered the base, we saw a sudden burst of white light in the sky, and the location of AC City seemed to have turned into a small Sun.

They didn't even have time to see what was happening in AC City.

The Captain didn't even have time to verify his identity; he simply used his shield to cut through the barbed wire fence and ran inside.

The old base in New York still retains a fixed teleportation portal.

Used for transportation between two bases, one in the air and one on the ground.

It is also the passage for the vast majority of people in AC City to enter and leave Earth.

The Captain immediately activated his maximum speed and sprinted towards the portal.

They didn't even bother to check if the other side of the portal was still intact.

The Ancient One had told them all that if something went wrong on the other side of the portal...

If you go in from this side, you'll enter a spatial turbulence, and you might be teleported somewhere.

The Captain even forgot this, which shows how anxious he was.

The Captain was lucky; the portal wasn't broken.

However, the entire Avengers Compound, along with the adjacent Sky Temple and the surrounding area spanning several kilometers, is also included.

It was all reduced to ruins.

Especially the Avengers Compound, it's a huge, deep pit.

The Captain appeared in the deep pit, covered by a huge cement slab.

It was this concrete slab that blocked the portal and prevented it from being destroyed.

A mushroom cloud is slowly dissipating in the sky.

"Bucky, Shay, Tony!!"

As the Captain walked, he casually moved aside the cement blocks on the ground.

No one answered, and there was no one in sight.

The Captain searched the entire area.

He climbed out of the giant pit, intending to look down and see if anyone was buried inside.

"I originally thought I was destined to use slaughter to balance the universe, but who knew that in the end I would still be defeated by you pitiful little insects on Earth, and defeated twice in a row. Both of my universes died at your hands."

"They told me this was my destiny, and I, like you, hate this damned fate. But at least they gave me a chance to kill you with a sense of appreciation, to kill this insignificant little planet."

A person sat outside the giant pit, nearly three meters tall, with purple skin and an extremely burly physique.

A simple suit of dark gold armor protected the main part of his torso.

Powerful, domineering, and confident—that was Captain's first impression of Thanos.

The Heavenly Blade of the Dead was stuck straight into the ground, with a similarly dark gold helmet placed on top of it.

"Thanos? No matter which universe or time you came from, hopefully we over there have already successfully stopped you."

The Captain took the shield off his back and placed it in his left hand.

"No, I arrived before I even had a chance to the Snap. But on my way here, I heard that I had, but you guys managed to save everything by traveling through time."

Thanos took off the helmet and gently placed it on his head.

A huge spaceship suddenly appeared in the sky behind them.

It is one of Thanos's personal vehicles, the Sanctuary III.

"Your friends should all have perished in the explosion. Even if some survived, they're unlikely to be able to fight."

"I'll give you one chance. The longer you can hold me off, the longer my legion will delay its attack on Earth."

"I know there's a population shift happening on Earth. The longer you can hold me off, the more of them will leave."

Thanos grabbed the Heavenly Blade of the Dead from the ground and pointed one end at Captain America.

Are you ready?

The Captain didn't say anything, but simply raised his shield towards Thanos.

Thanos stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the huge figure shot out like a cannonball.

It roared towards the Captain.

The person had already raised their hands high in mid-air.

With a sudden, powerful strike as his body fell.

Using the powerful momentum of his fall, he slashed down at the Captain like lightning.

The Captain braced his right hand against the shield, gripped the ground tightly with both feet, and charged forward with both hands, bracing the shield against the incoming blade.

"Kuang~~~"

A deafening roar, and a shockwave comparable to that of a small Missile explosion, emanated directly from the point where the blade and shield clashed.

It blew away all the dust within a kilometer radius.

The ground beneath the Captain's feet was shattered into pieces.

Even without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos's power was such that even Captain America, who had attained Godhood, could not easily withstand him.

After the first stab, the Captain felt his arms go numb.

But Thanos didn't give Captain a chance to breathe.

After the first strike, he sheathed his sword, raised his hand, and brought the sword down fiercely again.

The Captain hadn't had time to prepare before his feet gripped the ground.

He and his shield were cleaved backward for dozens of meters.

A pair of feet slid across the ground, leaving two long, narrow furrows.

Just as he regained his balance, Thanos leaped high into the air and delivered another slash.

Again...

Again...

After a series of ten or so continuous slashes, Captain finally lost his balance and Thanos by Thanos's upward slash, which struck the bottom of his shield.

He was sent flying.

It crashed heavily onto a large concrete slab dozens of meters away.

"Boom!"

The concrete slab collapsed with a crash.

It took the Captain more than ten seconds to stand up from the rubble.

"Your strength is actually quite good, but your weapon is a shield. It's okay for defense, but if you only defend, the enemy will only seize the opportunity to win. If you want to defeat me, you need to learn how to attack effectively."

Thanos put on a show, then jumped up and slashed at Captain again.

With this strike, he intended to cleave the man and his shield in two.

This time, the Captain didn't use his hands, or even raise his shield; he stood still with his arms hanging vertically.

Has he given up?

No, he didn't give up; the shield didn't move.

But the Captain's right hand was being extended in a claw shape towards the large crater in the distance.

Mjolnir was hurtling rapidly toward the Captain's right hand.

Thanos was still in mid-air when Captain America had already acquired Mjolnir.

Following Thanos's instructions, Captain didn't use his shield this time, but instead swung the belt on his hammer with his wrist.

When the centrifugal force reached its maximum, the Captain raised his right hand high, using the hammer to lead the way, and took the initiative to meet Thanos in mid-air.

Mjolnir's hammer, along with Captain's, slammed directly into Thanos's chin.

A person was blasted away in mid-air by a magical artifact.

Thanos flew backwards at an even faster speed than when he arrived.

After knocking Thanos, Captain raised his hammer in mid-air and summoned a wave of Flash.

It landed and crashed directly to the ground.

A bolt of Flash shot straight from the ground, precisely hitting Thanos's falling body.

Thanos soared into the air once again.

The Captain summoned another Flash, aiming it from the air at Thanos, who was still in mid-air.

A bolt of Flash as thick as a bucket descended from the sky, striking Thanos directly to the ground.

A quick hammer combo, without even using the shield, had already left Thanos completely disoriented.

How are my offensive techniques? I practiced them secretly, so I'm not very proficient yet.

The Captain holds a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right.

Standing still, he looked down at Thanos and spoke.

Here's one chapter for now, more tonight! Happy New Year everyone! May the Year of the Ox bring you all the best, with incredible luck in health, studies, work, wealth, and love!!
