The battle in the arena was almost completely one-sided.
Thanos did not even need both hands. Relying solely on his powerful physique and combat skills,
he easily neutralized Rhodey's fierce firepower,
and sent the charging Hulk flying with a single punch!
Rhodey was also casually slashed by Thanos, coughing blood as he was sent flying, his armor severely damaged.

trying to rush over, only to be firmly blocked by Gamora's blade.
Banner and Rhodey also struggled to rise, but they were powerless to do so.
Thanos gripped the Soul Stone, sensing the vast soul power contained within,
and
