Thanos smiled inwardly when he heard Hongjun's words.
As expected, Hongjun was still the type to bully the weak and bow to the strong.
All Thanos had to do was act a little tougher, and Hongjun would back down.
But Thanos wasn't truly insane. There was no need to waste energy destroying War God World.
