"No need, I think I know how that guy escaped from Sakaar."
Wanda shook her head, turned, and walked towards the balcony on the side of the palace banquet hall, with everyone following closely behind. From Wanda's perspective, they saw a very familiar sight.
"The Devil's Anus?"
Topaz exclaimed in surprise.
This thing had always existed on Sakaar, seemingly since the planet's birth, and even after the Grandmaster conquered it, he didn't bother with it.
It should be considered a wonder on Sakaar.
However, Topaz was no fool. Seeing this thing and recalling how Wanda and the others had been chasing Thanos, who used this thing to escape to Sakaar, she immediately realized that Thanos might indeed come again.
"He really is a crazy guy," Topaz couldn't help but say.
She was well aware of the dangers of traveling through it. In Sakaar's history, some had accidentally entered it, but they were essentially dead with no trace of their bodies found.
Even though the Grandmaster brought advanced technology to Sakaar, building ship after ship, with some even able to withstand meteor impacts, passing through there was still a near-death experience.
Thanos managed to get through it once with just his body, and now he dared to try a second time. This level of madness left her deeply shocked.
"He is the infamous Mad Titan, after all. We've experienced his decisiveness firsthand, though some Grandmaster thought he could control everything, only to end up looking like a clown being toyed with," Pietro mocked bluntly.
As an enemy, Thanos' style and past actions made Pietro despise him deeply.
This executioner would never receive mercy from Pietro.
Having talked with Gamora about their time under Thanos, Pietro couldn't help but think of his own painful past with Wanda.
Even now, that painful experience would not be forgotten.
Pietro remembered well, as their leader had said, that painful experiences are also nourishment for growth and should always be remembered as a motivation to move forward.
Pietro always kept this in mind.
This empathy naturally made him dislike Thanos.
However, he admired the qualities Thanos showed in battle and in desperate situations—qualities unique to true warriors and formidable leaders.
Without a strong will, even someone with the same attributes as Thanos would die under their combined attack.
Thanos, however, could quickly make choices in desperate situations, such as exchanging injuries for an opportunity or using his severe injuries to escape. Each time, he managed to succeed.
Pietro regarded Thanos as the most troublesome enemy he had ever encountered.
Not only was he powerful, but his willpower, on-the-spot judgment, and decisiveness were unparalleled.
This time, Thanos delayed them by toying with the Grandmaster, and without hesitation, he once again used the unstable cosmic gate to escape.
Thanos had found the only theoretical path to survival in a desperate situation.
And he successfully took that path.
This time, Thanos profoundly impacted Pietro. His slightly inflated ego immediately stabilized. This pursuit of Thanos across the universe made him realize how many excellent people there were in the universe.
With Bi Xiao's help, Pietro had already stood out in the vast universe, with limitless potential and rapid growth.
But there were also many talented individuals out there, and he could easily encounter another one.
Just like that woman named Carol he met not long ago.
Topaz remained expressionless at Pietro's mockery of the Grandmaster. What could she say?
Anyone else who dared to speak against the Grandmaster would face severe punishment, possibly even death.
However, the person speaking now was someone neither she nor the Grandmaster could afford to offend.
She could only pretend not to hear it.
"He is indeed a cunning and troublesome opponent." Thor twisted his neck, showing an excited expression. The tougher the opponent, the more excited he became.
He fully experienced Thanos' strength, and this battle brought him significant gains.
For a berserker, the benefits of a high-quality fight often surpassed a century of dull accumulation. Of course, that was before he started training with Wanda and Pietro, whose methods optimized and improved his training.
He no longer needed to achieve instant greatness.
He had the potential for rapid greatness, but that required more hardships and sacrifices, including the deaths of his brother, parents, and even his people, just to exchange for a chance at greatness.
If Thor understood this, he would rather take steady steps.
Compared to the great sacrifices required for a chance at greatness, he preferred steady growth.
Moreover, training hard and feeling himself grow was a wonderful feeling, the romance of a man.
It's like a skinny boy working out diligently, checking the mirror every day to see his muscles gradually grow—it's the same concept.
Unlike Thor's excitement, Loki was not pleased.
He and Thor did not share any brotherly empathy this time.
He was concerned that they hadn't killed Thanos. From the perspective of the king of Asgard, not eliminating Thanos posed a significant threat.
Although the immediate strategy succeeded in demonstrating Asgard's strength and resolve to the universe…
