"Blue-skinned freak, it's your turn next."
Peter's voice wasn't loud, yet it spread clearly across the entire battlefield.
The named Supergiant's relaxed and cruel expression completely froze on her deep blue face.
She subconsciously took half a step back, her eyes filled with horror and disbelief as she looked at Peter.
That was a Chitauri Mothership!
A war fortress capable of easily leveling a civilized Planet!
Just like that... it's gone?
And two of them were destroyed in one breath?!
This guy... what kind of monster is he?!
Intense fear gripped her heart, but as one of Thanos's most capable lieutenants, she would never allow herself to possess an emotion called fear.
Thus, she forcibly suppressed the unease in her heart and shouted sharply at Black Dwarf, who was still hunting down Felicia in the distance:
"Black Dwarf! Kill him for me!"
"Roar!"
Black Dwarf clearly didn't have as complex a thought process as Supergiant, or rather, he had absolute confidence in his own strength and defensive power.
Hearing Supergiant's command, a hideous grin appeared on his ugly face as he decisively charged toward the diving Peter.
Everywhere he passed, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and the muscles on his arms bulged high, containing explosive power visible to the naked eye!
With this axe swing, he used his full strength!
The power within it was even enough to split a relatively fragile asteroid in two!
He was confident that no one, except for the great Lord Thanos, could take such an attack unscathed!
In the underground safehouse, the citizens who had just been cheering once again had their hearts in their throats, each of them staring intently at the screen, too nervous to even breathe.
Will Mr. Arbiter... win?
Under everyone's tense gaze, Peter in the sky didn't even show any intention of dodging.
He simply raised his palm with a calm expression.
Is he crazy?
Such a thought couldn't help but surface in Black Dwarf's mind.
Immediately after, a smile of certain victory crept onto his large face.
He seemed to already see the bloody scene of the opponent being split in two, armor and all.
However...
"CLANG—!!!"
The expected scene did not occur.
A loud bang, like a giant bronze bell being struck, shattered all the glass in buildings within a radius of several hundred meters!
A terrifying shockwave swept out with the two of them at the center, flipping over vehicles and debris on the ground.
The smile on Black Dwarf's face froze.
He felt as if he hadn't struck flesh and blood, but a whole block of tempered Uru steel!
His great axe was actually caught firmly by that seemingly ordinary palm, which only faintly showed a strange metallic texture!
No... if one looked closely, they would discover.
His great axe hadn't even struck the other's palm.
There seemed to be some invisible substance in the air lying between his axe blade and the opponent's palm.
"That's it?"
Peter tilted his head, his tone seemingly carrying a hint of confusion.
Black Dwarf's pupils constricted; he instinctively tried to pull back his battle-axe, only to find the blade was as if welded shut, remaining motionless in that palm!
What horrified him even more was a strange destructive force continuously transmitting from the other's palm through the axe's body!
"Crack... Snap..."
A faint sound of cracking rang out.
Black Dwarf widened his eyes in disbelief.
He saw that on his super battle-axe, crafted by Thanos's personal artisans and mixed with a large amount of uru metal, cracks... actually appeared!
"No... impossible!"
Black Dwarf let out a Beast-like roar, surging all his strength in an attempt to reclaim the axe.
But everything... was in vain.
Meeting Black Dwarf's incredulous gaze, Peter's fingers suddenly tightened.
Immediately after...
Ping!
With a crisp snap, his indestructible giant axe was actually broken off by the opponent by hand!
Breaking an Uru battle-axe... with bare hands?!
This scene not only left Black Dwarf completely dumbfounded but also caused Ebony Maw, watching from afar on Titan, to stumble, nearly falling to the ground.
Casually tossing away the broken axe blade, Peter looked at his hands, and a strange smile couldn't help but appear on his face beneath the mask.
Was it because his women hadn't encountered danger for too long?
He truly hadn't expected it.
When Daisy and Natasha were harmed after such a long time, it actually allowed his "will" to achieve a breakthrough!
That's right!
Peter's Armament Haki... has evolved!
Just now!
He suddenly discovered that his use of Armament Haki had become more than just simple hardening.
He found that the Haki within his body had suddenly become capable of flowing freely, just like other forms of energy.
Then, he tried following the Busoshoku Coating techniques from his memory... and everything happened naturally!
Busoshoku Coating, without any practice, was perfectly mastered by him!
It was precisely by relying on the power of Busoshoku Coating that he could crush that great axe mixed with a large amount of uru metal.
Coming to his senses, Black Dwarf still wanted to make a final struggle, but Peter clearly wouldn't give him the chance:
"Since you want to be the first to die, I'll grant your wish!"
He raised his hand, aiming at Black Dwarf's forehead, and then... gave it a light flick.
"Pfft!"
Accompanied by a dull thud.
Black Dwarf's forehead, where he was flicked, was unscathed.
But the back of his head, like a watermelon struck by a sledgehammer, instantly exploded.
Red and white matter splattered all over Supergiant's face.
The headless, massive body stiffened for a moment in the air before falling limply to the ground, smashing a giant crater into the earth.
Busoshoku Coating: Internal Destruction!
...
Supergiant stared blankly at Black Dwarf's corpse on the ground.
Then she subconsciously reached out to touch the warm, viscous liquid splattered on her face, her mind going blank for a moment.
Black Dwarf... is dead?
This brute, known for his strength and defense, who rampaged through the Universe and whom only Thanos and his brother Corvus Glaive could barely manage to suppress, had died so silently?
Intense fear, like a cold tide, instantly submerged her reason.
Escape!
Must escape immediately!
As soon as this thought arose, she unhesitatingly abandoned her mental binding on Daisy and Natasha, turning around to tear through space and flee.
But just as she turned, she felt her shoulder being lightly pressed down by a hand.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Peter's somewhat playful voice rang in her ear.
That flippant voice, however, made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Weren't you having a lot of fun just now?"
In a moment of life and death, Supergiant erupted with an unprecedented will to survive.
She whipped her head around, her pale eyes erupting with a blinding blue light.
She poured out all her mental power without reservation, channeling it entirely into Peter's brain!
Forced Mind Control!
She didn't believe there was any creature on this Planet that could withstand her full-power mental blast!
