"Looks like you've made quite a few new friends: Earthlings, the Avengers, a bunch of self-proclaimed heroes on a small, native planet. I still have some things I left behind on Earth, and I'll personally go to your asteroid and retrieve them."
"It seems you don't understand your situation, Mr. Thanos. If you want to visit Earth, you first need to solve your current problem. Look, you seem to be surrounded by us."
Tony pointed behind Thanos, where Thor, Thor Rocket Groot in a row, blocking Thanos's path.
Ahead of them were Tony, Natasha, Gamora, and Little Groot.
"It's annoying to have a swarm of bugs flying around you, but it's definitely not a big deal."
Thanos smiled arrogantly, clearly not taking this group seriously.
"Boom!"
As soon as Thanos finished speaking, an energy cannon shot out from behind him, Thanos blocked with his Heavenly Blade of the Dead in front of his chest.
Before the pleasantries could be finished, the Rocket launched their attack with a roar.
"You all talk too much nonsense. I'm no hero!"
With a cheer, he launched a barrage of Rocket at Thanos.
One person takes action, and the whole group mobilizes. Although everyone is resentful, Thanos's reputation is too great, so they cannot help but act cautiously.
The Rocket's firearms were like a tickle to Thanos. After taking a few hits with the Heavenly Blade of the Dead, Thanos ignored the Rocket's energy blasts and instead spun his weapon to block the lightning attack from Mjolnir that followed.
The Avengers already had excellent teamwork. As soon as Thor activated his attack, Tony on the other side quickly closed the distance. The two palm-shots merged into one, and a beam of white light as thick as an arm shot towards Thanos.
Thanos glanced back, reached out and pushed, Heavenly Blade of the Dead spun around, pressing down on the lightning and flying back towards Thor.
The angle was incredibly precise, blocking not only the lightning and Thor, but also Groot, who was about to charge this way.
He then turned and dodged Tony's palm strike, leaping high into the air towards Tony and his group.
Before the energy in Tony's palm had dissipated, Thanos had already attacked him with his bare hands.
Gamora and Black Widow flanked her. Gamora swung a sword hilt, revealing a longsword infused with nanotechnology, while Black Widow charged forward, brandishing two short sticks wreathed in red energy.
The two men, one on each side, tried to block Thanos's attack on Tony.
Among everyone present, Thanos and the two Rocket had the lowest combat power. How could Thanos be easily entangled by these two? His purple, fan-sized hands were not afraid of their weapons. He unleashed two punches that collided head-on, sending the two flying several meters away.
Tony barely managed to withdraw his hands, the reactor on his chest lit up, and an energy cannon was still brewing when Thanos grabbed the armor by the neck.
"You think this thing can protect you?"
Thanos felt the strength of the armor and let out a contemptuous laugh.
"Maybe, it's better than not wearing anything at all!"
Tony's voice rang out from inside the helmet, and at the same time, the energy in his chest finally finished gathering, and a dazzling white light flashed out from his chest.
The distance was too close, Thanos was caught off guard and had no way to avoid it. He released his grip and was knocked back several meters by the white light.
Before he could even steady himself, Little Groot's hands transformed into two long vines, wrapping around Thanos's feet.
From the ankle down to the calf, it coiled around like a rapidly growing ivy.
"Um?"
Thanos glanced at Little Groot with some surprise, then slightly pushed off with his legs, and the vines outside began to snap.
It seems that it won't take Thanos much Kung Fu Hustle to break free.
Little Groot. grunted, channeling the Power of Thor within him, and two bolts of lightning crackled and leaped toward Thanos along the vines.
"Eek!!!"
Thanos's skin defenses were incredibly strong, but they weren't completely immune to this lightning attack. Two unexpected bolts of lightning rendered Thanos unable to put any force on his feet, preventing him from breaking free of the vines and causing him to lose his balance for a moment.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Naturally, no one would let such a good opportunity slip by. Big Groot's vines followed closely behind, two vines several times thicker than the little guy's directly covering Thanos's two arms and part of his chest.
"Ah!!!"
The numbness in my feet was still there, so I lifted my upper body off the ground and pulled the vines up.
The two Groot simultaneously increased their power, trying to delay Thanos as long as possible.
Then came a massive bolt of lightning summoned by Thor, which struck Thanos directly in the chest from mid-air.
Groot screamed and quickly retracted the vines before the lightning struck.
He's not that little guy; he possesses the Power of Thor and is completely immune to lightning.
As soon as the vines loosened, Thanos was about to get up when he was struck by Thor's lightning. Thanos only had time to raise his hands to share the damage from the lightning.
After the lightning, Big Groot's vines wrapped around Thanos almost seamlessly again, while Thor leaped high into the air and brought Mjolnir down directly on Thanos's head.
Unfortunately, Thanos's body was too abnormal; the attack just now only made him feel slightly numb and did not cause any real damage.
Before Groot's vines could fully entangle him, Thanos roared, abruptly sat up, and rolled to the side, dodging Thor's attack.
Not only did he dodge his attack, but he also swept his arm horizontally, sending Thor, who had just landed and was still kneeling on one knee in the pose of smashing his Thor into the ground, flying directly into the metal building next to him.
There was a loud crashing sound for a long time, and it's unclear how many things were smashed.
With his left hand, he pulled away the vines that were binding Little Groot's feet.
With a swift movement of his right hand, he grabbed Tony's ankle as Tony flew towards him, intending to deliver a punch.
With a slight exertion, Tony flew sideways, blocking Gamora and Natasha who had just gotten up and were trying to get closer.
He stood up and glanced behind him, ignoring the Rocket that was still constantly changing positions and firing sniper shots.
He caught Groot's punch as it came at him, and with a powerful kick, Groot's arm was severed from his body, and the missing arm slammed straight into the Rocket.
" Avengers, no wonder that idiot Loki lost to you on Earth. You are indeed a bit more interesting than I imagined, but unfortunately, you're just the difference between a small bug and a big bug."
Thanos retrieved his Heavenly Blade of the Dead, twirled it in his hand, and walked away from the crowd, speaking as he did so.
Seeing Thanos's expression, Gamora felt a chill; she knew Thanos was about to get serious.
