Thanos's Fury

Ronan held a massive hammer set with the Power Stone, his face cold as he stared at the head that was The Void.

"Some scraps from the fringes of the universe think they've made a name for themselves, think they matter. But they're nothing but a rabble. And they actually think they can get involved in this war!"

From space, he looked down at the fires scattered across The Void and the ships fleeing from it in disarray.

A cold smile crept across Ronan's face.

"I'll wipe them all out in a moment. Not a single ship gets away!"

But just then, a gigantic figure rose from The Void.

Even at this distance, the towering figure was large enough for Ronan to make out. He shot to his feet.

"What is that?!"

The Void was a head to begin with, and now a giant had suddenly emerged from it. Though much smaller than the head itself, it was still enough to set Ronan's mind racing.

Only after glancing at the Power Stone in his hammer did he feel a little reassured.

"Hmph. Whatever you are, you'll be reduced to dust before absolute power! Fire!"

At Ronan's gesture, the main cannon finished charging and fired straight at its target.

But when the giant caught the cannon's blast with his bare hands and compressed it into a sphere, Ronan broke into a cold sweat and knew something was wrong.

"Open the hatch!"

Ronan roared. The front of the Dark Aster slowly opened like the mouth of a whale, exposing the starry void beyond.

A defensive field held the air in place, preventing the vacuum outside from sucking it away.

Ronan leaped through with his hammer in hand. Just as the returning blast reached him, he roared and swung the hammer at it.
