Thanos's escape path seemed normal, no different from usual, as if he were going to bypass this trash planet altogether.
Loki, Thor, and the others behind him didn't pay much attention.
Their eyes were fixed on Thanos.
However, Wanda, aboard the Vimana, felt something was off. During the lightspeed flight, she scanned her surroundings and suddenly noticed a not-so-conspicuous neutron star collapse phenomenon far off to the left.
The red flowing light, although bright in the universe, could be easily overlooked due to the vastness of the starry sky.
Moreover, everyone's focus was on Thanos. The relentless half-month chase without rest had created a momentum that prevented them from considering other possibilities.
Hence, the distant neutron star collapse phenomenon was ignored.
This phenomenon was only a hypothesis in human technological civilization; no one could truly confirm its principles.
Wanda had studied the subject. With her exceptional memory and talent, even quantum reading was a basic operation for her. Her eyes were like printers, capable of recording all the text with a glance. Her brain was more formidable than a supercomputer, capable of instant and complete analysis.
So, although her academic level was not world-class, she understood the basic knowledge.
When she saw the phenomenon, the term "neutron star collapse" immediately surfaced in her mind, leading her to think of Earth scientists' hypothesized principles about it.
Could it be??
Wanda's delicate face changed. She immediately activated her magic, causing the Vimana to glow brilliantly and accelerate further. At the same time, she fixed her gaze on the flying Thanos ahead, reaching out to use her reality-warping ability.
However, Thanos had completed his plan.
As he flew past the trash planet, he gripped the Power Stone he had previously removed and harnessed the vast, violent energy of the Power Stone, directing it at the trash planet.
A terrifying purple beam instantly pierced the trash planet.
Boom!!
The moment it pierced through, the planet's surface was engulfed in a terrible purple energy surge. The entire planet immediately underwent fission, with terrifying cracks spreading wildly before exploding.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The massive explosion lit up the surroundings, with the shockwave sweeping across. Even though Thanos was prepared, the explosion was so intense that it caused blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Thanos remained calm. Taking advantage of the explosion's angle, he propelled himself forward.
Thor, Loki, and the others were briefly obstructed by the sudden explosion.
However, they were experienced. Thanos had used similar tactics before to delay their pursuit. Wanda reacted the quickest, and the others followed her lead, continuing to fly forward as Wanda activated her mirror dimension magic.
The group entered the mirror dimension, narrowly avoiding the planet's explosion.
They continued pursuing Thanos.
Though it delayed them somewhat, Thanos gained a considerable distance. He no longer concealed his actions, frantically flying towards the neutron star collapse area.
At this point, Thor and Loki realized his intent.
"Damn, he's trying to use that to escape," Thor said, his expression changing.
With his strong physique, Thor would be unharmed in the unstable space. However, the instability was disadvantageous for them, as anything could happen inside.
"Wanda? Bella?"
Thor gritted his teeth and accelerated, shouting for Wanda and Bella.
"Chase him down, we must not let him escape."
Wanda's delicate face turned cold. She would not be satisfied until Thanos was dead.
The others immediately agreed. After leaving the mirror dimension, they continued pursuing Thanos.
Six beams of light flew towards the neutron star collapse area one after another.
Those watching the chase couldn't help but gasp.
"Thanos is trying to escape through the devil's anus?"
"What a clever and risky move. It's probably the best way for Thanos to escape, as the unstable space might allow him to evade pursuit."
"Damn, we can't let Thanos get away. We must kill him."
"This is a great opportunity. I believe we can take down Thanos."
It was a grand spectacle, with major forces watching. Those who held grudges against Thanos were silently praying.
In the gaze of countless onlookers, Thanos was the first to charge into the chaotic, dazzling turbulence, disappearing completely. Wanda, Thor, Loki, and Pietro followed without hesitation.
Their decisiveness shocked everyone again.
It took immense determination to do this, even for beings at the sub-Celestial level, as anything could happen in such an unstable space. They could perish inside.
Thanos risked it to survive, but Thor, Loki, and the others showed equal resolve in their pursuit.
People were shocked by the determination of Thor, Wanda, and the others, and some were gloating over Thanos's misfortune. The notorious and arrogant warlord Thanos had finally met his match.
This event convinced everyone that Thor, Loki, and the others were determined to eliminate Thanos.
Regardless of the circumstances, their intent to kill was unwavering.
Speculation arose about whether Thanos would escape. If he did, would Thor, Loki, and the others continue the chase?
In that so-called "Devil's Anus," what events would unfold?
If conditions allowed, people would have ventured in to witness this universe-shaking pursuit firsthand. This was far more thrilling than any other game.
