The Showdown Begins

After much discussion without a conclusion, everyone finally felt that Thor's unreliable plan was the most realistic one.

Yet this was also the cruelest plan.

If they truly abandoned the Spaceship, Odin, Thor, and the Warriors Three and others could rely on their formidable strength to guarantee their own survival, but who knew how many subordinate Warrior would have to be sacrificed.

This was why Odin and Lucy had always opposed forcibly shattering the space blockade and leaping directly in front of the opponent.

After all, sacrificing too many Warrior would impact future rule.

An hour later, Thor shouted with a look of dissatisfaction, "This won't do, that won't do, how on earth are we supposed to fight this war?"

Odin raised his head with a dissatisfied expression and said in a deep voice, "Shut your mouth, this war isn't as simple as you going to suppress the Natives!"

He understood that because his son had sailed smoothly for hundreds of years without suffering a single defeat, he looked down on everyone.

For a long time, Thor had only suppressed those Natives lacking technology and powerful figures, so naturally, a mindset of solving everything with brute force had been born over time.

How could this war not be a chance to let Thor understand the cruelty of cosmic warfare?

Hearing his divine father's dissatisfied voice, Thor instantly wilted.

Throughout Asgard, besides his queen mother, the person he feared most was Odin.

The scene quickly fell silent once again.

After a moment, Odin began contacting Heimdall, who was still in Asgard.

"Have the enemy's spaceships moved?"

Although they possessed a quantum entanglement communication system that could ignore distance for calls, they lacked a quantum entanglement projection system.

Therefore, wanting to observe the enemy depended entirely on Heimdall's ability.

Guarding the Bifrost, Heimdall heard the voice, immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and raised his head to look toward a distant part of the universe.

A moment later, the pupils in his eyes seemed to vanish.

After a long while, he finally replied, "Respected God King, I only see two thousand and some spaceships; I don't know where the other spaceships went, but I seem to see some strange things..."

At this, he paused.

Just now he had seen something enormous, seemingly a meteorite yet also seemingly a spaceship, so for a moment he did not know how to describe it.

Seeing this, Odin asked curiously, "What strange things?"

Heimdall hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Those things are very strange. They look like meteorites, but they have some military facilities on them. I've never seen this kind of thing before."

Hearing this, Odin immediately frowned.

Military facilities on a meteorite?

What trick were these enemies playing?

Were they not afraid of the meteorites being sucked away by the fixed star's gravity?

In the past, he had also thought about building military facilities on meteorites to create an interstellar platform.

However, meteorites were extremely unstable, shattering at the slightest strong attack, and energy was also a huge problem, so he had ultimately given up on the idea.

Yet this time, the enemy's technology appeared extremely advanced; perhaps they had overcome those technical difficulties.

At this thought, Odin's face turned dark.

He seemed to understand why the enemy wanted a space blockade and delayed starting a frontal battle.

It should be to build these interstellar warfare platforms.

Ending the call, Odin turned to look at Lucy and said firmly, "I command you in the name of the God King to forcibly execute a space jump right now."

He was not a person of indecision; once he made a decision, he executed it without hesitation.

Lucy instinctively wanted to retort, but seeing God King Odin's solemn expression, she finally dropped to one knee.

"As you command."

Hearing his divine father's words, Thor excitedly raised Mjolnir.

Yet looking at his divine father's gloomy expression, he did not shout those chuni words.

Near the Black Hole.

Thanos was sitting on the Throne, holding the Mind Stone and meditating.

At that moment, a deep blue projection appeared in midair.

"Master, spatial fluctuations have appeared near the nearby fixed star, suspected to be an opening Space Rift."

Hearing this, Thanos opened his eyes, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Odin, you couldn't hold back after all."

Then he stood up and looked at the Three-Dimensional projection in midair.

From the projection, one could see very clearly.

Near the fixed star where he was located, intense spatial rifts had appeared.

It was just like a black gap tearing open in the universe, devouring all light. Inside was only utter darkness, and nothing at all could be seen.

However, due to the space blockade, this gap was still extremely small right now, making it utterly impossible for any spaceship to pass through.

Seeing this, he suddenly frowned.

"No, even if Odin wants a frontal battle, he couldn't possibly space jump directly onto my face. This isn't valor, it's courting death."

Just as he was pondering whether it was a trap, several more spatial rift fluctuations suddenly appeared in the midair projection.

Seeing this, he was startled for a moment, but quickly understood his opponent's scheme.

"Interesting, opening multiple space rifts at once so I won't know your true intent? This game of shadows and substance is played well."

"However, you underestimate the power of technology."

"Strengthen the space blockade energy, deploy space bombs in all space rifts, and drop space floating mines outside the space rifts."

A space bomb was a landmine that could be deployed directly into a space rift, detonating the moment anything touched it.

However, the explosion of a space bomb was not a physical blast, but rather a spatial collapse.

It was much like the space grenades used by the Dark Elves in Thor: The Dark World, only the space bomb possessed far greater power.

As for space floating mines, they were merely the cosmic version of landmines, triggering in the exact same way—they exploded upon contact.

Only, their power far exceeded chemical explosions.

"Understood, Master."

Soon, Deep Blue began executing the orders.

As one order after another issued from Sanctuary II, several surrounding spaceships began to move.

Simultaneously, the Black Order located in other surrounding galaxies also sprang into action.

After all, the space rifts Odin opened were not limited to a single fixed star range; other surrounding fixed stars had them as well.

However, those moving were basically auxiliary spaceships; as for the attack ships and defense ships, they still remained stationary.

Although called auxiliary spaceships, they were still two hundred meters in diameter, shaped like spheres with several antenna-like things extending from them.

In the cosmic Vacuum, there was no need to consider gravity, wind, or drag of any kind.

Therefore, shapes did not matter and could be designed casually.

Yet because spheres were simple to manufacture and could effectively protect core equipment, auxiliary spaceships without frontal combat needs naturally favored spherical designs.

Once these spherical spaceships flew near the space rifts, they first dropped black spheres only two and a half meters in diameter into the rifts, and then deployed one-meter-diameter black rings outside.
