Battle of the Skyfathers

Thor had naturally heard Odin's words.

But consumed by rage, he ignored his father entirely, focused only on avenging Warriors Three.

When Thanos saw the Black Order warriors and Interstellar Behemoths standing before the berserk Thor without hesitation, he knew they would only be making meaningless sacrifices in the face of the absolute gap in power.

So he waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to leave.

At the level of battle they had reached, these minor soldiers were of no use at all. At most, they could only drain a little of the enemy's energy.

If his forces held the advantage in the war, then sacrificing some subordinates to deplete the enemy's energy would not matter.

But the outcome of this war was still uncertain, so there was no need to waste his men like that.

Upon receiving the order, the Black Order warriors and Interstellar Behemoths immediately cleared the way.

This allowed Thor and Odin to fly even faster.

At the same time, the Black Order in the distance finally flew out from their cosmic warships.

The moment they saw Thor and Odin charging toward their lord, they immediately gripped their weapons and rushed over to support him.

Although they had great confidence in their lord, they still had to put on the posture of protecting him.

But seeing this, Thanos still ordered them not to come over.

After all, the Black Order were only planetary-level, just like those three fools from before. They simply could not interfere in the battle between him and Odin.

A moment later, Thor arrived near Thanos, swinging Mjolnir.

"Ah!"

With an enraged roar, Thor's aura steadily rose, quickly reaching the peak of the Sub-Skyfather level.

It seemed as though he could break through at any moment.

But even with such strength, he was still far from enough in Thanos's eyes.

However, at that moment, a dangerous aura suddenly enveloped his entire body.

Looking over, he saw Odin not far behind Thor, raising Gungnir. His remaining eye was fixed firmly on him.

That dangerous aura was emanating from Odin.

Clearly, Odin was covering for Thor.

Seeing this, energy surged throughout Thanos's body. He unleashed his full strength, swung Tyrant's Blade, and slashed forward.

Clang!

In the silent vacuum of space, the impact produced by the collision of the two divine weapons echoed in everyone's minds.

Thor felt the immense force transmitted through Mjolnir, and shock filled his heart.

But he still gritted his teeth and poured all his energy into his body.

"Ah!" With another furious roar, lightning shot from his body in every direction.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, no matter how he drove the energy within him, Mjolnir could not advance even an inch.

The gap in their strength was simply too great.

Thanos said calmly, "Is that all you've got?"

With that, he exerted force with both hands.

The purple glow on Tyrant's Blade flared brightly as it shoved forward with brutal force.

Thor was immediately knocked back by the unstoppable force, sent flying backward.

Fortunately, Odin had flown over as well and immediately caught Thor.

"Don't act impulsively when something happens. Have you forgotten?"

His voice carried both frustration at Thor's failure to live up to expectations and fatherly affection.

He truly had no way to deal with this son of his.

After steadying himself, Thor was about to argue back, but when he saw the concern in his father's eyes, he immediately lowered his head in shame. "I understand..."

Although Odin inwardly sighed in relief, he looked at Mjolnir and said with some heartache, "Go back. Don't get in my way."

A massive crack had appeared across Mjolnir, nearly splitting it in two.

This made Odin deeply worried.

Mjolnir had been forged from a cooled star. It was a divine weapon only one tier weaker than Gungnir, yet it had nearly been cleaved in half by a single blow.

Hearing this, Thor immediately shook his head and said firmly, "No. I want to avenge them!"

With that, he raised Mjolnir, preparing to continue the battle.

But when he noticed Mjolnir's miserable state, he froze.

How had this divine weapon, which had accompanied him for centuries, become like this?

"Get back now..."

Odin did not even have time to comfort his son before he saw Thanos charging over.

Thanos was inwardly grumbling.

This father and son pair really treated war like a movie.

With a powerful enemy before them, they were still acting all affectionate, as if they did not take him seriously at all.

He was not one of those movie villains kind enough to wait for them to finish talking before attacking.

The next moment—

Clang!

Another deafening collision rang across the battlefield.

Tyrant's Blade and Gungnir, two supreme divine weapons, clashed for the first time in the universe.

And through their weapons, Thanos and Odin clearly sensed each other's strength for the first time.

This was an opponent no weaker than himself.

Thanos immediately grew a little excited.

After coming to this world for so long, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent evenly matched with him.

In contrast to Thanos's excitement, Odin's mood was exceedingly heavy.

Because he knew there was no way to end this battle quickly.

The next instant, the weapons in their hands flashed endlessly, attacking and blocking without pause.

Clang, clang, clang...

In just three short seconds, they exchanged over a hundred blows.

Their speed was so great that no one besides the two of them could perceive it.

A moment later, Odin found an opening and forced Thanos back. Then the divine power within him surged rapidly as Gungnir instantly fired a powerful blast of energy.

Seeing this, destructive energy surged rapidly through Thanos's body as he slashed at the incoming energy.

In an instant, a white and a purple force collided.

The immense energy even produced tiny cracks in the surrounding space.

Thor, who had originally been preparing to leave, saw Thanos and his father locked in a stalemate and immediately returned.

Since Mjolnir was nearly destroyed, he did not use it to attack this time. Instead, he clenched both fists, releasing intense lightning.

Odin immediately noticed his son's actions and anxiously shouted.

"Thor! Don't!"

Because he knew that, just like himself, Thanos had not used his full strength. His foolish son could not possibly succeed in a sneak attack.

But his warning came too late.

Thor had already rushed to within a meter behind Thanos. He raised his hands crackling with lightning, ready to hammer them down.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Thanos's mouth. The next moment, his body vanished from where he stood.
