Luke reacted quickly. His right arm immediately twisted and lashed out like a giant python, not giving Thanos a chance to lock him down.
In a close-range battle like this, it was too dangerous to be locked down.
Although he had a lot of life-saving abilities, he didn't want to give Thanos a chance.
He had a trump card, but Thanos might also have one.
But Thanos was even faster.
There was a fierce glint in his narrowed eyes. With a thought, a clasp on the Infinity Glove came undone. The fingers of his left hand moved, and the Power Stone fell into his left palm.
The Stone's boundless energy surged into his body. Thanos grunted, but he clenched his left fist tightly and punched Luke in the back.
Purple flames enveloped Thanos and Luke at the same time, and a violent energy shock wave exploded from the contact between their bodies, sending them both flying.
