Thanos's eyes lit up when he heard the other person say he was one of the four smartest people.

While his subordinates were all very capable, their intelligence... well, that's debatable.

Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw are among the most intelligent of the Black Order, but they still can't satisfy him.

They weren't stupid, and each of them even had their own little schemes, but they lacked the ability to grasp the big picture.

If this Mister Fantastic is really that smart, he'd make a great strategist.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Deep Blue, turn on the war sandbox projection between us and the Alliance of Gods."

He returned to deal with the war against the Alliance of Gods, not to test the power of the Space Stone.

The next second, Three-Dimensional- dimensional map of the Solar System appeared in mid-air above the Command Room.

As the 3D image is zoomed in, it becomes clear that Thanos's and the Alliance of Gods' fleets occupy opposite ends of Jupiter.

Both sides are constantly vying for more advantageous positions and resources around Jupiter.

Although Spaceship possess abundant energy reserves, such high-intensity consumption during wartime inevitably leads to energy shortages.

For example, Escort Ship, after activating its shields and withstanding hundreds of attacks, would be almost out of energy.

Therefore, it is necessary to hide behind the Satellite and slowly recover energy, or go to the Satellite to absorb water resources to quickly replenish energy.

The same applies to other warships; after continuously launching attacks, they also need a certain amount of time to replenish their energy.

Therefore, Jupiter's seventy-nine Satellite became the territory that both sides were fighting over.

Initially, the Alliance of Gods, taking advantage of Jupiter's cover, successfully launched a surprise attack on his forces and gained a favorable position.

However, now that they had realized what was happening, under the leadership of the Black Order, the two sides began to fight back and forth, and it was impossible to determine a winner for a while.

However, this also indicates that the abilities of the Black Order are limited.

Despite having more troops and superior advanced combat capabilities, the two sides were still evenly matched.

Thanos looked at Mister Fantastic and asked, "What do you think should be the next step in this war?"

Mister Fantastic was stunned again upon hearing the other person's words.

What did Thanos mean when he asked him how to fight?

Does the other party think he has already surrendered, and therefore want him to give up his ideas?

No way, he could never give Thanos advice on how to defeat the enemy, even if you beat him to death.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.

How could he possibly betray his allies?

Most importantly, he knew absolutely nothing about space warfare. Looking at the sand table, he was completely clueless, almost like he had nine out of ten apertures open.

He claims to be clever, but that's in research, and he also uses some underhanded methods.

As for space warfare, he'd never even seen one, so how could he possibly be involved?

But just as he was about to refuse, he stopped himself.

He himself didn't know about cosmic wars, but Thanos didn't know that he didn't know either.

If I could offer some advice to Thanos to lose the war, wouldn't that save Blue Star?

With that in mind, Mister Fantastic immediately began walking around the virtual sandbox.

After a while, he pointed to a spot where the two sides were fighting and said, "I think we should retreat here and lure the enemy out to encircle and annihilate them."

He had no idea about retreat and deliberately lured the enemy out.

After looking at the sand table for a while, they realized that both sides were fighting over the Satellite, and Thanos's forces were about to occupy Satellite, so they wanted Thanos's men to vacate the territory.

Upon hearing this, Thanos began to look more closely.

After watching for a while, he immediately discovered the trickery of the Satellite.

The Alliance of Gods' fleet appeared to be in a steady retreat, unable to withstand his forces, but several Satellite had already circled around to this vicinity.

If enemy forces are hiding behind these Satellite, a rash attack now could very well result in the enemy encircling and annihilating us.

Thinking of this, he gave Mister Fantastic a deep look, never expecting that the other party would have such talent.

He truly deserves to be called the smartest person on Blue Star.

"Deep Blue, order your troops in that area to retreat."

"Yes, Master."

On Zeus's flagship.

At this moment, Zeus was also watching the war map projection.

The subordinates around him became excited as they watched the projection in mid-air.

"As expected of the God King, he was right. We only tricked them a little, and they fell for it."

"Now, as soon as the two surrounding Satellite get close, our fleet will immediately surround the enemy, and then we can easily take down these 30,000-strong fleet."

"Haha, while Thanos is quite powerful, when it comes to strategy, we still have to look to our God King."

Amidst the flattery, Zeus's face was full of smiles, as if he were about to annihilate his opponent.

If this enemy force is truly wiped out, then the original plan of simply inflicting damage on Thanos and then retreating might need to be revised.

Even if Thanos is incredibly powerful, can he really take on hundreds of thousands of Spaceship single-handedly?

After a while, as the Satellite slowly approached, the troops hidden behind Satellite were ready to set off.

Suddenly, Thanos's fleet retreated without warning.

This caused them to miss the opportunity they had been waiting for.

"How so?"

At Zeus's question, his men fell silent and shut their mouths.

At this moment, a beautiful Goddess couldn't help but say, "It seems there are still capable people among the enemy."

Upon hearing the Goddess's words, Zeus immediately felt annoyed.

"These damned bastards! Send the troops to pursue them! We must annihilate the enemy! Even if we can't annihilate them, we must capture the Satellite!"

Upon hearing this, those around Zeus instinctively tried to stop him from giving his command.

The enemy fleet has just retreated unscathed without suffering any losses.

If their troops rashly pursue, they are likely to be ambushed by the enemy and suffer heavy losses.

However, seeing Zeus so enraged, none of the gods dared to utter a word of warning.

After all, the enemy might not necessarily turn around.

Moreover, as long as the Satellite is captured and resources are obtained, even if the previous encirclement fails, the losses can be minimized.

Meanwhile, inside Sanctuary II.

Thanos looked at the enemy fleet that suddenly appeared in the projected sandbox and immediately smiled.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to see through the enemy's ambush."

Upon hearing the praise, Mister Fantastic really wanted to slap himself.

Damn it, Thanos's fleet was about to take over the Satellite, how did it turn into an enemy's plan to lure them in?

If only I hadn't been so rude, I could have sent this army to their deaths. Thanos would have been one less army then.

At this point, Thanos continued, "Mister Fantastic, what should we do now? Continue retreating?"

Although he knew the other person was indeed insightful and intelligent, he still wanted to pursue postgraduate studies.

Upon hearing this, Mister Fantastic immediately realized what was happening, shook his head hastily, and said, "No, no, we should go back now."

No, we absolutely have to lose this fleet.

Upon hearing this, Thanos began to carefully examine the sand table.

A moment later, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, let's charge back. Hela has just arrived nearby with her troops. If we send reinforcements, we can form a counter-encirclement."
