Chapter 2006 - Battle for the Glove

Several of Thanos’s small-scale fliers flew over and fired at the spider in the air.

Swinging through the air, he turned and rolled to evade the attacks.

However, a plasma beam cut through the web that he had used to stick the glove to his body.

Peter, who was still dodging plasma beams, had no time to care about anything else as he swung in the opposite direction.

He could only turn around and watch helplessly as he reported over the comms, “Cr*p, I lost it. I lost the glove. It’s at… Clint, your three o’clock, 50 meters away.”

To conserve his strength, Clint had already put away his bow, and was killing the four-armed monsters that were approaching him with the two energy pistols he had taken out of the armory.

Hearing Peter, he ran toward the glove.

The name ‘Hawkeye’ wasn’t just for show – he could still swiftly find his target even as he ran.

Looking at the Infinity Glove in the rubble, he said, “I see it. I’m almost there.”

As he ran, he shot left and right, opening a bloody path to the glove five meters away.

Just as he bent down to grab the glove, he suddenly felt a faint sense of danger.

He subconsciously stopped, and instead of moving forward, he rolled backward.

As soon as he did that, there was a bang, and an energy blast struck where the glove was, causing him to roll back several times.

Clint rolled around and hid in the remains of a tank. He couldn’t help but curse. “Sh*t, this alien lady is so petty.”

The ‘alien lady’ was Proxima.

The person who hit her husband wanted to grab the Infinity Glove? She definitely had to blow him up.

Unfortunately, Clint’s intuition for danger saved his life again.

Corvus and Proxima then led a small portion of Thanos’s army, which was gradually gaining the upper hand in the air, toward the area where the glove was.

A series of plasma beams swept through the battlefield near the glove to clean up the Earth army within range, and the Avengers who had rushed over were forced to stop for the time being.

Clint could only retreat before he was blown up.

Thanos, on the other hand, pushed forward with a bunch of soldiers.

Thanos wasn’t an idiot. Naturally, he wouldn’t let the Avengers attack him, nor would he be stupid enough to refuse his subordinates’ help.

Just now, he had seen Ebony Maw being sucked into a black hole, and the thick-skinned Cull Oblivion had stopped moving.

As a battle veteran, he sensed danger.

A head-on battle wasn’t desirable in a space war, but it was a very efficient strategy in tearing out roots.

Thanos himself had killed powerful leaders of other races many times, destroying the other side’s courage to resist.

If he succeeded, it was very common for the enemy’s combat ability to drop by 30 to 50% – the difference depended on the leader’s status.

Thanos, for example, knew very well that if he was taken down, the four surviving generals would most likely retreat and go back to divide up his territories and power.

Avenge him? Don’t even think about it.

The four generals only respected his strength – they wouldn’t pledge loyalty to a corpse at all.

He didn’t think that these Earthlings could kill him, but he wasn’t going to wait around for them to besiege him.

For a while, Thanos, Thor, Tony and Steve fought in the center, while Corvus and Proxima led an unending number of troops to stop the other Avengers.

Earth’s allied forces on the periphery besieged Thanos’s army.

Thanos’s air units, which clearly had the upper hand, started to increase their firepower.

In a one-kilometer range around the Infinity Glove, fliers fired and were destroyed constantly, and tanks were blown up.

Soldiers on both sides roared and fought, or screamed and died. The battle heated up.

Thanos grabbed Tony and threw him into a shower of plasma cannons.

Before Tony could react, he was struck by four or five plasma cannons. The intense energy and impact made his vision go dark, and he passed out.

Thanos sent Thor’s Stormbreaker ax flying with a slash of his blade. He grabbed Thor’s other hand, which was swinging the hammer, and then slammed him hard into the ground.

After three consecutive kicks, Thor’s vision turned dark, just like Tony’s. His consciousness went blank as he was stunned by Thanos’s attacks.

Steve lunged forward decisively and raised his shield to block a stomp from Thanos.

Thanos was furious. With a hideous expression on his purple face, he raised his double-headed blade and was about to shatter Steve and his shield.

Suddenly, a silver shadow shot out from behind the shield and smashed into his chest.

Since the beginning of the fight, Thanos had remained steady on his feet and didn’t even stagger.

At that moment, his huge body was sent flying several meters before he fell to the ground.

Puzzled, he immediately got up.

Not far away, Steve put down his shield and stood up, his handsome face covered in sweat and dust as he looked at Thanos.

His eyes burned with fighting spirit.

It didn’t go out, nor did it show any signs of weakening.

Steve had already thrown away the collapsible staff. At that moment, he opened his right hand and held it out in front of him.

There was a low hum, and a streak of silver light suddenly flew back to Steve. He grabbed it.

This was… Mjölnir? Thanos was stumped. How could an Earthling hold Thor’s exclusive weapon?

But the fact remained.

When Steve raised his shield to block just now, he had grabbed Thor’s Mjölnir hammer with his right hand, and then sent Thanos flying with a violent throw, before calling it back.

This was an operation that used to be exclusive to Thor, but now there was Steve.

Holy sh*t! What was going on? Luke, who had been sneaking over, was also shocked.

Mjölnir was so arrogant that nobody except Thor could make it move.

But… there were two exceptions.

One was Vision, who could pick up the Mjölnir hammer at will.

However, Vision couldn’t be considered human to begin with. Also, he had absorbed part of the power of the Mjölnir hammer when he was born, and could be treated as a system bug.

The other was Steve.

There had been a gathering of heroes in 2012, and they had all played with Mjölnir together. Steve had really made it move, and Thor had been so frightened that the smile on his face disappeared.

However, Steve pulled hard several times after that, but there was no reaction, and Thor’s smile returned.

Luke hadn’t paid much attention to it back then.

Given the captain’s character, it was impossible for him to covet Thor’s exclusive weapon.

Even if he could pick it up, it wouldn’t be a big deal – at most, it would be just one more joke to tell in the future.

As Luke’s thoughts raced, Steve recalled Mjölnir and spun it like a pinwheel at Thanos, who had just gotten up.
