The divine spear in Proxima Midnight's hand was forged for her by Thanos himself; it could fire Death rays that were fatal to living beings. Only she among the Black Order had this honor.
Perhaps this was also the reason for her unwavering loyalty to Thanos.
Jean's attention was entirely focused on the enemy in front of her, and she didn't notice the sneak attack from the shadows.
Those three rays were absolutely terrifying for ordinary life forms, striking with instant Death.
Just as the rays were about to pierce Jean's body, Kytheron, who had been observing from a distance, suddenly moved!
He instantly appeared behind Jean, extended his hand, and with a light flick, deflected the three rays to the side, where they penetrated several Black Order soldiers.
Then, he took the divine spear in his hand, and with a slight squeeze, the spear's shaft instantly shattered.
The Spear of Death, which had accompanied Proxima Midnight in conquering the Universe and taking countless enemy lives, thus perished.
"Jean, on the battlefield, you must not only pay attention to the visible enemies in front of you, but also constantly be wary of those who play dirty tricks from the shadows."
Seeing Kytheron's appearance, Jean immediately realized the danger she had just faced.
"Teacher, I was too careless!"
Jean said with a hint of embarrassment, and then the energy field around her body suddenly paused, which undoubtedly gave those guys an opportunity.
However, a red light flashed in Kytheron's eyes, and two curving rays shot out, instantly reducing large numbers of charging biological weapons to ashes.
Watching Kytheron's appearance, especially the Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand and the two infinity stones, Thanos's expression finally changed!
A surging fighting spirit was released from the Dark Tyrant.
At this moment, the Black Order soldiers, who had just been fearless of Death, immediately stopped and obediently made way for Thanos.
"The power of the infinity stones can only be wielded by me. Hand them over to me."
Thanos said in a deep voice.
"Alright! No problem."
"As long as you can defeat my disciple, then the infinity stones I control are all yours. I just don't know if you have the strength."
Kytheron playfully raised the Infinity Gauntlet in front of him, tempting Thanos.
"Teacher, you can't."
Hearing Kytheron say this, Jean immediately became anxious.
Placing the fate of such a Universal treasure on her shoulders made her feel immense pressure.
If she really couldn't defeat that purple giant, what would Kytheron do then? Would he really hand over the infinity stones to them?
That would be a huge disaster for the entire Universe.
But if she didn't hand them over, it would undoubtedly make her teacher go back on his word, which Jean also couldn't accept.
"Jean, believe in yourself. You have the power to defeat him; what you lack is combat experience, and he happens to be a good sparring partner."
Kytheron said with an indifferent expression.
"But..."
Jean wanted to say something more, but Kytheron directly interrupted her!
"There are no 'buts.' If you don't want the infinity stones to fall into his hands, then use your power to defeat him, understand?"
"Just consider this my test for you!"
Kytheron couldn't help but sigh that Jean was still too naive!
Even if she really couldn't defeat Thanos, would Kytheron really let Thanos take the infinity stones so easily?
As long as Thanos dared to reach out for them, Kytheron could snatch them back.
Furthermore, Kytheron only promised Thanos the infinity stones he controlled, which meant the Time Stone was not included, because it was only "borrowed" by Kytheron from Ancient One and did not yet belong to him.
Therefore, no matter what, Thanos had absolutely no chance of taking away a single infinity stone.
However, seeing Kytheron so contemptuous of him, Thanos was furious.
He dared to treat him as that woman's sparring partner, completely disregarding him. This was an utter humiliation to him.
He was a Dark Emperor who dominated the Universe, the master of the Dark Quadrant, and his prestige was enough to make all living beings in the Universe tremble with fear.
"Enough!"
"I will kill this woman first, then defeat you, and take my spoils of war from your corpse."
Thanos could no longer listen, and a roar of anger interrupted Kytheron and Jean's conversation.
"Then, Jean, everything is up to you!"
"Oh, and when fighting him, keep your distance. With physical strength alone, ten thousand of you wouldn't be his match, and you don't have his defensive power. Remember, you're still a magic-user."
Kytheron completely ignored Thanos's roar, seeing it as nothing more than the impotent rage of the incapable!
After speaking, the blue light of the Space Stone on Kytheron's hand flashed, instantly clearing the area, leaving only Jean and Thanos.
Without further ado, Thanos charged towards Jean with his battle-axe, moving extremely fast.
Jean had long been on guard against Thanos. A destructive storm formed by the Phoenix Force instantly swept out. Thanos's body suddenly paused, his helmet and armor were the first to be disintegrated, but his body endured the disintegrating force.
The powerful resistance also made Thanos's advance very difficult.
However, the Tyrant's Blade in his hand, whatever its material, showed no signs of disintegration.
With this, Thanos hardened his resolve, directly using the battle-axe in his hand as a throwing weapon, and hurled it fiercely towards Jean.
Jean remained unfazed, immediately drawing a golden portal in front of her. The weapon Thanos threw passed through the portal, but then flew out from behind him, fiercely embedding itself in Thanos's body.
However, as an Eternal Titan, his body's defensive power, while far inferior to Kytheron's, was already very outstanding compared to other Universal races!
The battle-axe only made an insignificant small cut on him, and then clanged to the ground.
Seeing his body restricted, Thanos let out a thunderous roar.
Then, a powerful purple energy burst forth from his body. This was his ability as an Eternal.
However, few people had been able to force him to use this power, because in previous conquests, he had been able to crush opponents simply with his terrifying body, excellent combat skills, and extraordinary wisdom.
This time, encountering an opponent like Jean, a magic-user and a Mutant, he finally resorted to the power he had always kept sealed away.
Powerful energy beams shot from his hands. Jean could only conjure a magic shield to defend herself, temporarily relaxing her control over the Phoenix Force.
But this gave Thanos an opportunity. He unleashed an enraged punch, directly shattering Jean's magic shield.
When he tried to continue his attack, the Phoenix Force struck again, and Thanos felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire, making movement difficult.
Jean, however, used the momentum to retreat. She had kept Kytheron's words in mind, and immediately changed her hand gestures, splitting into several clones.
Although she couldn't multitask, she could directly create several identical versions of herself.
Then, Thanos, the super warrior who couldn't get close, could only take a beating.
Frustration, extreme frustration—this was the most humiliating battle Thanos had fought since his birth.
However, Jean no longer wanted to drag it out and was preparing to use the Phoenix's judgment to burn Thanos to ashes.
Kytheron nodded in satisfaction at this.
"Compared to Thanos, you seem to be a more interesting toy."
Just then, a voice filled with infinite temptation appeared in Kytheron's ear.
Kytheron turned his head and saw that, at some unknown point, a captivating woman, clad in a black cloak and dressed in cool, sexy attire, was standing beside him.
