The Third Person to Lift Mjolnir

Boom!!

A white wave of air glided in from afar, and the moment it landed, its powerful momentum erupted like a torrent, rapidly spreading outwards.

The tremors unleashed a series of hurricanes, instantly snapping the haphazardly erected stone pillars on the ground, which were then swept away by the ensuing hurricanes.

Thanos was trapped between cliffs and precipices. Captain Marvel Stegers gathered Photon Energy in her arms, her fists becoming phantoms as she launched a storm of attacks, pounding him with punch after punch.

Under the burst of Photon Energy, Stegers pressed Thanos down and slowly chipped through the mountain, finally breaking through the mountain's back and falling to the ground together.

Thanos shook his head and stood up, his tongue sweeping across his gums as he spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground. Looking at Stegers, who was flashing with white light in front of him, his eyes grew colder.

Conflict with the Kree Empire is not in line with his current overall plan, but since Stegers brought this upon himself, he has no one to blame but himself.

The Infinity Gauntlet pressed down, Cosmic Rays shattered the Photon Energy, Thanos above, slowly pressed down on Stegers's head.

Stegers reached out and caught the Infinity Gauntlet as it pressed down, and the two began to wrestle in place. At that moment, Thanos's lips curled into a smile, Mind Stone emitted a faint glow.

Stegers's body froze. He had finally managed to shatter the will of the Supreme Intelligence, only to Thanos using the Mind Stone. Helpless, he was once again caught in the struggle for control of his body.

"You are powerful, and your tenacious spirit is astonishing, but you are ultimately just a weapon, unworthy to be my opponent." Thanos shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with regret, and with a wave of his hand, he swatted Stegers away like a fly.

Stegers slowly rose from the ground, his eyes now completely replaced by green. He stared coldly at Thanos: "There are two scientists from the Kree Empire on the Dark Elves ship. I've come for them."

Thanos nodded, regardless of who was speaking to him, and said directly, "The spaceship is yours, the Power Stone is mine, we each get what we need."

Whether joining forces against an enemy is glorious is a trivial question Thanos wouldn't consider out of his arrogance. What he cares about is the result: obtaining the Power Stone. The process is unimportant.

Upon hearing about the Power Stone, Stegers frowned, but before he could speak, Thanos continued, "If you disagree, I will join forces with the owner of the Power Stone to eliminate you as an unstable factor. He certainly won't refuse me."

"Fine, the Power Stone is yours!"

Stegers nodded, and after a brief exchange, the two reached a verbal agreement.

Both men harbored ulterior motives and knew the other would not abide by the agreement, but a preliminary alliance was indeed formed, and the agreement remained in effect until Russell was killed.

Boom!!

As the golden light swept in, Russell stood in front of the two men, raised an eyebrow, and roughly understood what was going on.

If he were to follow procedure, his first choice would be to run away. Of the three people present, none of them could fight two against one without being defeated, but he also had reasons to stay.

Stegers and Thanos chose a good spot to fall. Natasha was nearby with two captured cats. Russell had to deal with them and give Natasha time to escape.

"Kid, do you have any last words?"

Throughout the entire ordeal, Thanos never asked Russell's real name; in his view, it was meaningless. If Russell was willing to submit, he would find out his name sooner or later; if not, what good would asking the name of a Deadman do?

"I wouldn't call it a last will and testament, but there is one thing I do want to say."

Russell raised an eyebrow, gestured to Natasha with one hand behind his back, looked at Captain Marvel Stegers, and said with emotion, "Steve, I didn't want to tell you, but now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you."

Stegers said coldly, "If this is your last word, I advise you not to waste your time. I am not Steve."

Russell ignored him and continued, "Actually, today is Teka's wedding day. If you count the time, in two hours, she'll be exchanging rings with a guy whose penis is on his face—well, maybe his face is on his penis. They'll become a legally married couple. Carter will be arranged like this first, then like that, and finally like this..."

Thanos frowned, realizing he had made a mistake. He shouldn't have given Russell the chance to leave his last words; it was a waste of time.

Just as he was thinking this, he was blasted away by the Photon Energy emanating from Stegers's hands.

"Well!"

Russell shook his head slightly, his face filled with loneliness and sadness. "Steve, your mental fortitude is too weak. I only gave you an outline, and I haven't even detailed the specific plot in five thousand words yet..."

"Shut up, and next time you wake me up, don't use her to provoke me again!"

Stegers glared at Russell speechlessly, then rushed towards the fallen Thanos. He had to end the fight quickly and return to Carter's side, otherwise...

Stegers felt it was unsafe to keep his fiancée by Russell's side; who knew when he might actually be cheated on?

Thanos swung his fist down, expressionless, and pressed down on Thanos 'Stegers fist. He knew that alliances were unreliable, but this was too fast, turning against him in an instant without any warning.

Cosmic Rays compressed the Photon Energy, and beads of sweat dripped from Stegers's brow, only to be evaporated by the intense heat.

He was suppressing the Supreme Intelligence with most of his mental will, and the Photon Energy he could condense was extremely limited. He could only barely hold his own against Thanos with a brief burst of energy.

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat and Stegers was gradually losing ground, Russell suddenly rushed into the battlefield, crossed his arms above his head, and unleashed his ultimate attack on Thanos.

Galaxy Explosion!

Thanos blasted Stegers away with Cosmic Rays, then turned to clash with Russell's ultimate attack. To guard against Russell's sneak attack, he used the Mind Stone to maintain a high level of mental fortitude.

He unleashed magnificent Cosmic Energy with both hands, erecting Defense Barrier in front of him, and deliberately detonated it the instant it came into contact with the Galaxy Explosion.

With Thanos' enhanced perception, using the same move a second time is not very effective!

Boom!!

The energy storm swept through again, but its impact was much smaller than when it first shattered space. However, it still managed to carve a large crater on the surface of Morag.

Russell's sneak attack failed, so he unleashed the Phantom Demon Emperor Fist, which confused Thanos, causing him to falter. He then lunged forward and slammed Thanos into the portal to another dimension.

On the other side, Natasha, along with two prisoners, was thrown back by the sweeping shockwave. The Mighty Thor has a high potential, but she has only possessed Mjolnir for a short time; her potential is still just an empty promise, unrealizable, and she doesn't even have the right to intervene in the battle.

Boom!

The green figure flew backward from a distance. Natasha frowned slightly and swung Mjolnir at it.

The newcomer was Stegers. Sensing the whooshing sound behind him, he forcefully shifted his center of gravity to steady himself, narrowly avoiding Mjolnir. He grabbed Natasha's arm and explained, "It's me, Hydra Captain. I'm not an enemy now."

How can I trust you?

Natasha was on high alert, Mjolnir held above her head, drawing down the lightning and thunder from the dark clouds. If Stegers made the slightest move, she would unleash her full power.

They don't seek to defeat Stegers, they only seek to protect themselves!

Natasha overestimated herself. Stegers swung his hand and struck her wrist, knocking Mjolnir to the ground, which, coincidentally, landed right in front of Thor.

Thor's eyes lit up. His hands and feet were bound by shackles, and he moved forward little by little. He was confident that even if he had to press his face against Mjolnir, he could take it back and regain his approval.

Loki held his breath and silently cheered for his brother. If they could reclaim Mjolnir, the chances of them escaping would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"This hammer..."

Stegers sensed the immense power within and, remembering that Thanos and Russell both had a gauntlet while he had none, couldn't help but say, "Let me borrow it for a bit, I'll return it to you after I'm done."

Natasha, fully alert, replied with a mocking tone, "If you can lift it, I have no problem with it!"

"Then I'll thank you in advance!"

As he spoke, Stegers gripped the handle of Mjolnir, grabbed it, and strode away amidst a cacophony of lightning.

￣△￣ X3

Seeing that a third person besides himself had lifted Mjolnir, Thor gave up on survival and said, "I'm so tired, I just want to die!"
