One Punch Sends Her Flying

The next second, Captain Marvel charged at Thanos.

She was going to let him know whose fist was bigger.

He actually said he wanted to kill her with one punch. He was looking down on her far too much.

Facing Captain Marvel's fierce charge, Thanos merely raised his fist slowly.

At the same time, a force of destruction began surging through his entire body.

Then, seizing the right moment, he threw a punch.

"Boom!"

Although sound could not exist in a vacuum, Proxima Midnight and everyone in the Black Order aboard Sanctuary II felt as though they had heard an enormous blast.

A brilliant light immediately flared up, even briefly eclipsing the distant star.

At the center of the light, Captain Marvel instantly felt an irresistible force bearing down on her.

The force was so powerful that even as she desperately drove the energy within her, she could not budge it in the slightest.

It was as if she were facing an immense star. She was so helpless and insignificant.

Ever since gaining the Space Stone's energy, she had never experienced such a feeling again.

There was no time to think.

The next instant, the overwhelming force sent her flying into the distance like a meteor.

"Pfft..." Blood gushed from her mouth as if it cost nothing.

After sending her flying with a single punch, Thanos did not pursue her.

Because he felt a sense of danger rise within him, as if some existence had fixed its gaze upon him.

After a while, the dangerous sensation faded, and he discovered that Captain Marvel in the distance still had a faint trace of Qi.

"She isn't dead? Did that unknown existence intervene just now?"

The moment he thought of an unknown existence taking notice of this place, he no longer continued hunting Captain Marvel.

Just as he had said before, Marvel's waters ran far too deep.

There were the Celestials, the Five Gods, the Living Tribunal, the Watcher, OAA, the First Firmament, the Beyonder, the Fulcrum, and more.

He did not know which one had acted, but now was not the time to clash head-on with these guys.

His strength might be considered top-tier in this universe, but in the multiverse, or even the omniverse, he was still nothing more than an ant.

After dealing with Captain Marvel, he turned to look at the white planet nearby and casually waved his hand.

Sanctuary II behind him, along with over a hundred space warships, flew toward their target in a mighty procession.

Captain Marvel, who was flying toward the depths of space, was not dead yet.

But she felt as though she might as well have been.

Every bone in her body was shattered, causing pain so intense she wished she were dead.

The energy inside her body was also running wild, leaving her unable to move at all.

If sound could travel through a vacuum, her agonized howls would have echoed throughout the universe by now.

And beyond the pain in her body, the pain in her heart was even worse.

The massive fleet was rapidly flying toward Ice Crystal Planet. Without her protection, that planet's fate was already sealed.

Thinking of the Ice People's future, her heart turned to ashes.

Although the Ice People were fairly capable fighters, they could never be Thanos's match.

And she finally understood why Thanos had said he would spare her if she survived one punch.

The gap in their strength was simply too great.

A while later, Thanos arrived on the planet ahead of the warships.

In midair, he saw over a hundred thousand fully armed Ice People Warrior warriors standing ready in formation.

Although the Ice People's technology was not much to speak of, their strength was not weak.

Due to the harsh environment, Ice Crystal Planet had only a little over one million Ice People, yet nearly one-tenth of them were capable of flight.

A powerful Warrior might not necessarily be able to fly, but a Warrior who could fly was never weak.

This showed that the Ice People had considerable combat potential.

Upon seeing Thanos, the Ice People chieftain at their head flew upward with a grave expression.

"Damn invader, accept the wrath of the Ice God!"

To him, the situation was already obvious.

The purple giant before him was an enemy who had come to invade them. There was nothing to discuss. They just had to fight.

Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, Thanos merely folded his arms and watched him coldly.

"Whoosh..."

The next instant, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, the Ice People chieftain crossed a distance of one kilometer and viciously thrust his frost-covered spear at Thanos.

Seeing that the enemy before him still had not moved, a trace of hope rose in his heart.

His speed had already reached Mach three, and with the boost from the divine weapon in his hand, he could even destroy a mountain outright.

He refused to believe the other man's body could be harder than a mountain.

"Die!"

But just as he was about to stab his opponent, the other man's body blurred, and he actually passed straight through his figure.

"How... is that possible?"

Could it be magic?

Of course not.

Thanos did not know magic. He had merely moved so fast that he left an afterimage in place.

Very quickly, he gripped the Tyrant's Blade on his back and slashed downward.

With a "Pfft...", the Ice People's strongest Warrior, their chieftain, instantly turned into a spray of ice shards.

After killing the old man, he looked down at the Ice People below.

The Ice People had been provoked by their chieftain's death and charged forward one after another, seeking revenge for him.

Seeing this, Thanos merely tightened his grip on the Tyrant's Blade and casually swung it.

In an instant, a purple blade aura shot out.

Its powerful destructive force immediately carved a huge gap through the Ice People's charging formation.

A few minutes later.

Over half of the hundred thousand-plus Ice People Warrior warriors had been killed by Thanos.

The remaining Ice People Warrior warriors no longer charged forward.

Even if they were not very intelligent, watching their clansmen die one after another had shattered their courage. The fearless momentum they had possessed at the beginning was long gone.

"Help!"

"Devil! He's a devil!"

"Run! I don't want to die!"

No one knew who started it, but once a single Ice People deserter fled, the rest immediately began fleeing the battlefield as well.

Thanos did not chase after them.

He was already growing a little tired of this one-sided slaughter.

Looking at his own hands, he suddenly wanted to see just how much destruction he could cause with a full-power attack.
