Chapter 108
Getting caught in mind assault, Thanos lost a few seconds of precious time as he forgot to close his fist.
Thanos intended to close his gauntlet but Vision is quicker and inserted his arms to prevent Thanos from closing it.
Thanos tighten his hold on Vision's neck intending to crush it but no matter how strong he is, without the boost of the power stone from the infinity gauntlet, he will have a hard time crushing a vibranium metal with a single hand.
Vision thinking he would cease to exist if he didn't do anything, aimed his eye socket where the mind stone is and wielded the cosmic beam straight to Thanos face.
Burning scar on his left side of the face caused by the beam, because of the mind attack of Vision, Thanos doesn't have the right mind required to utilise all of his strength.
While still clenching the infinity gauntlet and squeezing Vision's arm, he move his other arm to turn the beam in other direction. Vision lost the battle in fighting against Thanos, he may not be able to cruch his neck but breaking it is no big deal.
With a broken neck, Vision eye beam lost its main target and Thanos loosen his hand on his neck and instead brought it to Vision's leg.
Using raw strength and power, he forcefully tears Vision's arm and leg in the process of recovering from the attack from the mind stone.
Thanos threw his arm and proceeded to stomp on Vision's head but a portal just closed with a new arrival.
....
With a few inches away from Vision's head getting crush, I deployed my optic blast to blast Vision away.
Thanos clenched his gauntlet and it glow all over his body, returning his right mindset from the mind stone's assault.
He had the bloodline of a Titan, a species with immense physical and psychic strength, even with an infinity stone assaulting his mind only took him several seconds to recover but the five infinity stones from the gauntlet also contributed greatly.
Looking at the new arrival, Thanos just stared at my eyes " I assume you are here to stop me, but alone? Your courage is commendable but you are a fool if you don't have sufficient strength."
I just glanced at Thanos and looked at the surroundings, seeing that it is dark and no sunlight passing through, I expected nothing like this.
Dark domain with only few lights coming from the fire and lava coming out of the ground.
In my mind, there should be a forest and Wanda would choose to destroy the stone only to be brought back by the time stone.
Now I see, why Natasha has to call me. At first, I thought I just needed to assist Wanda and Thor to deal with Thanos but now I'm alone with any sunlight to confront Thanos.
I breathed a long inhale and exhale then manipulated my energy to reinforce my arms with golden armament. Golden miasma absorb through my eyes as it brightens with golden hue.
Thanos tighten his fist watching me and then threw a punch mid air as the power stone cosmic energy beam towards me.
I noticed the speed of the beam is much slower than my optic beam, but the amount of time to get it ready to full power cost a few seconds to match Thanos' offense.
Golden beam against purple beam battled in the middle of the domain causing it to shake. The confrontation didn't take long as the cosmic energy from the infinity stone is very much stronger than my optic beam.
Seeing this, Thanos smirk as the reality stone along with the space stone manipulated the lava around to attack me from each side.
Covered by the magma still hurts my skin if directly touch so the left golden armament diminished to a simple gauntlet and use it to defend my left side.
While my right side, I change tactics of using my tight hand to take the cosmic beam and absorb it through my right hand and then use the optic blast to blast the lava around.
Thanos thinking that with using only the cosmic beam from the power stone is enough to defeat me, provides me with energy from one of the infinity stone.
" Arrgghh"
The power stone burned my right hand as purple veins crawling up my arm.
Hearing my scream, Thanos added power to the beam as I continuously absorb it and step forward towards Thanos' way.
Confused by my tactics, but admired my courage to walk towards him, Thanos notices as we get near to each other that my hand is absorbing the cosmic power that resulted to my arm burning due to the immense energy from the power stone as the right sleeve of my battle suit is destroyed to the shoulder.
When we are only a few meters away from each other, I smirked at Thanos them clench my right fist.
Whispering under my breath ' ONE PUNCH'
I jumped mid way as the cosmic beam was pushed aside by my punch. The power reach Thanos but he only step back from its power.
My whole arm is burning and it hurt so greatly that I bit my lips to prevent myself from screaming.
I circulated the cosmic energy little by little throughout my body but it my take a while as Thanos already clench his fist for another round of battle.
My right arm glowed golden armament as I flew towards Thanos. Thanos seeing my choice of fighting, decided to cooperate.
The gauntlet glowed and he threw a punch at the same time as me as our fist connected mid air.
BANG! CRACK!
The ground created a crater large enough like a boulder size meteorite crashed.
The dark domain crack a bit and the tremoring continues. Wanda and Vision are dragged to the farthest boundary of the domain but she remain unconscious and Vision is severely damage while protecting Wanda's body from most impact.
When the fists connected, both of us are blasted away only for me dragging a long trench hundred feet away while Thanos back away for only several steps.
The power are unbalanced as my power is insufficient, my plan was not to defeat Thanos but to destroy this domain as Thanos kept powering it with the Infinity gauntlet from time to time.
I need Thor to take down Thanos preferably with Captain Marvel on the side as well as the Avengers. I just need Thanos to focus on me so he won't strengthen the domain.
Thor and the others should be striking the domain as the tremor kept happening and that should be coming from outside.
With my plan ready, I only needed to execute it. Miasma circulating around me and manipulated all throughout my body, 'Overload State.'
The golden armament formed around my arms stopping only to the my shoulder and my hair turned gold on the side.
Pumping my fist, golden energy burst around me, indicating my invitation of hand to hand combat.
With my Overload State reaching tenth step, my insanity no longer complete like normal but it is still not the same when losing all control.
First, I walk then jogging then proceed to running towards Thanos, my speed kept increasing as Thanos gauntlet glowed red as another gauntlet formed around his right arm and the power stone boosted his strength.
The golden energy with a hint of cosmic energy from power stone reinforced my physique, and adding cosmic energy to the quality of my powers.
While Thanos with Titan bloodline who possess a powerful physical and psychic powers along with the battle experiences reinforce by the power stone.
