Chapter 2131: Destruction of the Warship, Escape
Selina's left arm suddenly drew back.
She wasn't Thor or Luke, and had no way to directly resist the Power Stone.
However, she wasn't the lead attacker; it was fine to let go of Thanos's arm.
Big Dipper's blades spun around Thanos's left arm, ready to cut it off at any moment.
Wade, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Thanos's right leg. "I've got him. Attack!"
Everybody: ...Do you have a death wish?
Thankfully, Wade's self-healing wasn't a secret. This guy didn't care if the team knew about it at all, and had talked about it many times.
Everybody subconsciously mocked that nobody was worried about him dying for real.
Big Dipper attacked even more quickly, and Thor swung his ax. Selina's left arm was free, and she wrapped it around Thanos's left leg.
Knight approached stealthily with his palm raised like a blade, ready to behead Thanos with Annihilation.
With this counterattack, Thanos finally fell into a desperate situation. He didn't even have the chance to wait for the small fry to disrupt the situation.
Ferocity flashed in his eyes as he suddenly bent down and smashed the Power Stone in his right fist into the floor.
This time, Thanos didn't use the Infinity Glove to control the Power Stone. Instead, he completely let go of the restraints the Infinity Glove had on the Power Stone.
When the Power Stone hit the metal floor, the boundless energy inside immediately surged out like crazy, creating a terrifying shock wave.
Thanos, who was the closest, was instantly sent flying.
Wade, who was on the floor, was enveloped in bright purple flames and rolled far away.
Selina, who was wrapped around Thanos, was the third unlucky person. Her arms were quickly dyed purple, and she bounced off Thanos.
Big Dipper and Knight weren't spared either.
Unrestrained by the glove, the Power Stone could destroy a planet at the height of its power.
It wasn't that powerful now, because Thanos was only trying to escape and had no intention of dying together with everyone.
What was even more annoying was that once he was free of everyone in the team, Thanos decisively used the power of the Infinity Glove to offset the shock wave from the Power Stone and also hide himself.
This concealment wasn't flawless, but at that moment, the purple shock wave was wreaking havoc, and Thanos's exclusive hall was devastated.
The floor and walls quickly melted and collapsed amidst the bright purple energy flames.
Flames and fire extinguishers burst out in many places, causing the hall to be filled with smoke and fire.
For a moment, Luke really couldn't find Thanos.
Thor searched for Thanos. Knight dug out the collapsed passage and picked up Skye, while Big Dipper searched the debris for Wade, who had been sent flying.
Luke also told the fleet outside to pay attention to whether Thanos might have escaped.
Earlier, their team had focused on blowing up the central shaft and ambushing Thanos, which had a huge impact on Thanos's warship during the battle outside.
Earth's fleet had seized the opportunity to besiege the mega warship.
The Wakandan vibranium battleships worked together and used multiple vibranium warheads to temporarily pierce the protective shield.
Earth's fleet took the opportunity to bombard the gaps, creating huge holes in the warship.
Affected by this attack, the protective shield around Thanos's warship was semi-paralyzed.
Delighted, Earth's fleet increased the attack on the protective shield.
The inner protective shield was pierced by the vibranium warheads once more, and the warship was attacked again.
At that point, Thanos's warship lost most of its resistance.
Earth's fleet swarmed the mega warship and quickly cleaned up any exposed weapons and monitoring systems.
Without these two systems, Thanos's warship was blind and crippled, and it would be hard for it to escape.
At that moment, it was as if the warship was experiencing a final burst of life. It fired wildly as it charged at Earth's fleet.
Without any hesitation, Frank ordered that it be taken down at all costs.
Without this warship, Thanos wouldn't be able to turn the tide on his own.
Amidst rumbling explosions, Thanos's warship charged forward.
After learning about the situation outside, Luke decisively had his clones round up the team to leave.
Thanos had decided not to show his face, and it was unlikely that the team would find him immediately. Destroying the warship and doing a search after that was the safest choice.
Suddenly, the huge ship shook.
Luke frowned, only to find that his direct communication with the outside world had been cut off again.
Had the protective shield been reactivated? While he was feeling puzzled, he immediately sensed a huge threat with his intuition for danger.
The ship shook more and more.
Luke quickly scanned the surveillance readings, and his expression changed. Knight urged, "Let's go. Thanos might have detonated this warship."
Hearing that, everybody stopped worrying about stealth and charged toward the nearest exit.
As Luke had guessed, the self-destruct mechanism had been activated when Thanos escaped them.
This was because Thanos had used the Power Stone to destroy the throne hall, which contained the central console.
In a situation like this, a self-destruct mechanism that only Thanos knew about had automatically activated.
In three minutes, all the energy reactors on the warship started working like crazy, thus creating a violent energy reaction that could completely destroy the warship.
The vibrations that Luke had felt were from the reactors overloading, causing the fragile parts of the warship to explode first.
Although the team was fast, they weren't as fast as the reactors exploding in succession.
It was very unlikely that they would be able to charge out in a straight line through the huge hull and the tough bulkhead.
Skye suddenly said, "Go into that passage on the left. If we break that wall, there should be a ship hangar on the other side."
Everybody immediately understood that she would use her ability to break through the wall.
Compared with the external hull, the interior walls were much weaker.
As long as they found the right spot, it wouldn't take Skye long to break through it.
Knight picked Skye up and charged forward.
Skye wasn't as skilled in using her suit as Knight - it was better to save time.
Knight used his Vibration ability and the A.I. program to analyze the wall, and quickly marked a spot with a red circle of light. "This is the weakest point."
Skye already had ten seconds to gather her strength. At that moment, she simply said, "Copy that," and raised her hands to hit the red circle of light.
Boom! Crack!
The wall broke, and Skye dropped her hands in relief. "Done."
Knight picked her up again and charged in, and the others quickly followed.
Behind them, blazing white energy poured through the passage, and would reach them in a few seconds at most.
Entering the ship hangar next door, everybody looked at the hangar opening and couldn't help but curse. "F*ck!"
"Sh*t!"
"Ah, I don't wanna die!" That was Wade.
