Exchanging Hostages

Only then did the Time Variance Authority personnel react, swinging their Energy Guns around to aim at Thanos.

But when they saw the hostage in his hand, none dared fire first.

The hostage he held was no ordinary person. They simply dared not shoot and risk his death.

Seeing that they still dared point their guns at him, Thanos hurled the Tyrant's Blade from his right hand.
