"Oh, for heaven's sake, it's too cruel. Principal, from today onwards, you have replaced Kevin Bacon as my idol!"
In the Ravager base ship, watching George tear apart the Darkstar, the CEO of gas bellowing to the dark world below. Peter Quill, who had just been complaining about George's reckless plan, has his eyes wide open and his jaw almost falls off in shock.
"Peter, weren't you saying something different just now?"
Also shocked, Rocket doesn't forget to mock Peter at this time.
"Sauron, you are going to die today!"
Karla looks down at Thanos, seated on the throne below, her expression shifting and complex.
She has dreamt countless times of killing Thanos to avenge her family and tribe, but when she truly believes that Thanos is going to die, a faint sense of sadness is stirred in her heart.
And the Thanos down there is not someone who will sit by and wait for death.
Watching the super space battleship Stalagmite-2, which he toiled for years to build, being destroyed, and his vast intergalactic army being massacred by George like a withered plant, his anger surged to the top of his head.
"Umibozu, take me up!"
Taking out his double-bladed tyrant, Thanos commanded Umibozo to the side.
He wasn't acting out of sheer anger, but in this situation, if he didn't lead the fight himself, they would truly lose.
As for whether he can deal with the monster claiming to be George in the sky, he is far from having no chance.
George's destructive power is indeed terrifying, but his volume is too large, and many aspects cannot be taken into account.
As long as Umibozu can get him up there, he can rely on the sharp tyrant dual blades to directly stab at George's vital points and resolve the situation.
Umibozu clearly has a lot of confidence in Thanos' strength. That is the confidence built over many years of combat in the universe without defeat.
Upon hearing Thanos' command, Umibozu directly activated his ability, controlling several metal plates to not only send Thanos but also the dark star, General Irti, and dark neighbor star Neighbor.
"About time!"
He wreaked havoc in the sky, destroying most of the Leviathan whales and surrounding ships. George sensed the arrival of Thanos and his four companions and transformed back to human form from his dragon form.
Thanos' physical strength is still quite strong, combined with the sharp tyrant dual blades, if he's not careful, he might really get hurt.
Just like how a person can kill a wasp with a single slap, but if they get stung by a wasp by accident, they'll end up with a big bump.
If stung in the vital area, there might be a risk to life.
So to deal with the incoming surprise attack by the four of Thanos, it's more appropriate to turn back into human form.
The human form lacks the magic and physical strength of the dragon form, and its overall destructive power is much less. However, it is more agile and allows for easier use of various spells and superpowers in combination with combat.
Moreover, most of the ships have been destroyed by him, so there's no longer a need to worry about Thanos escaping. This is the perfect opportunity to experiment with all the spells and abilities he's been learning recently.
Normally, there would be no way to test magic on so many people, and the key is that he doesn't have to worry about accidentally killing someone due to power control.
"Thinking of coming up? Get down, all of you!"
Seeing George suddenly transform into a human form from a giant dragon, the four of Thanos were also surprised, but their reaction was fast. They quickly stepped on the metal plates and rushed towards George.
And George directly activated his superpower, detaching the metal plates carrying the four of them.
Umibozu's ability to control with his mind encompasses a wide range, including metals, trees, and stones. However, when it comes to controlling metal, he is far inferior to George.
So, in the battle for control of the metal plates, he easily emerged victorious.
Without the metal plates to carry them, Thanos and the four dark stars who couldn't fly fell out of the sky. However, their physical strength is definitely not enough to kill them, so they adjusted their landing angles and landed safely in a row.
And at this moment, George also landed, standing opposite them.
"Weren't you attracted by the distress call?"
Thanos looked up at the pirate ship that was slowly landing with George and narrowed his eyes at him.
Karla said she had obtained the infinity stone and seized a pirate base ship, but as soon as she got here, George appeared.
And even more importantly, George claimed to be from Tran Star.
Even if he was a bit dumb, he understood that George's arrival could not be due to a distress signal, but was related to Karla.
"Of course not, I'm here for this."
George flipped his hand, smiling as he took out the cosmic cube from the transformation space.
"I heard you put a bounty of 1 billion credits on this, so here I am, delivering it personally to you."
"Space Gem, that's good. Then I should thank you."
Thanos saw the cosmic cube in George's hand, his eyes immediately sharpened, and he nodded towards Umibozu next to him.
Umibozo immediately activated his ability, trying to control the cosmic cube to fly over here.
"Sizzle!"
The cosmic cube had just risen from George's hand, but it fell back down immediately.
Because a sharp spike made entirely of metal suddenly erupted from the ground behind Umibozo, piercing right through the back of his skull.
Umibozo's strength is not weak, and he can even suppress Doctor Strange without preparation. However, his physical body is too poor, and he doesn't even have the ability to survive in space. He is actually the easiest one to kill among them.
Just now, if he had tried to sneak up on the other four, Thanos, dark neighbor star Neighbor, and General Irti could have reacted in advance and dodged it. The dark star would have been injured at worst.
In fact, even with Thanos' physical strength, a direct hit might not breach his defenses.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, who made the move?"
George tucked away the cosmic cube, sneered coldly at the dead body of Umibozo, and spoke to Thanos:
"The cosmic cube can be given to you, but there's a condition; it needs your head as a trade."
"I see you're courting death!"
Before Thanos could respond, the dark star saw Umibozo killed and George's bold words. He couldn't contain his anger and picked up his massive axe, leaping over to swing it down.
"Get down!"
However, facing the incoming axe from the dark star, George simply flicked his hand, and it was immediately slammed into the ground with a heavy thud.
The giant axe held by the dark star is made of metal, and so is his armor. Naturally, it will be under his superpower control, and if he wants to, he can even make the dark star fly like a kite in the sky.
Now, his control over metal has been developed to a level that can be comparable to Magneto in the movies, with the power of up to several hundred thousand tons, which is not a joke.
To be honest, with just his superpowers, without magic, he could still handle enemies like the four Darkstalkers with ease.
However, when it comes to fighting Thanos, relying solely on superpowers is a bit straining. Thanos' physical strength is too strong, and it's difficult to break through his defense with just superpowers. It's not easy to kill him.
