2007 Fighting the Tyrant

Thanos was only astonished for a moment, before he regained his senses.

Thor, who wielded a hammer and an ax, had been beaten to a pulp. An Earthling with the Mjölnir hammer wasn't a big deal.

In the face of Steve's attack, he didn't retreat at all. Thanos charged forward and slashed.

The spinning Mjölnir hammer, however, was one step ahead of him, and it smashed into his chest.

Bang!

Thanos barely raised his blade, when he was sent flying ten meters before he crashed to the ground.

Shock and anger flashed across his purple face as he got up. Steve's shield was thrown at him again, but he blocked it with his giant blade.

Mjölnir, on the other hand, flew out and ricocheted off of the shield with even more force to hit Thanos in the back.

Thanos almost fell to the ground, and the giant blade in his hand was knocked to the ground by the hammer.

As Steve charged forward, he raised his hands, and the hammer and shield flew back to him. He aimed at Thanos, who was now empty-handed.

There was a series of thuds as the hammer and shield hit Thanos again and again.

The tyrant's burly body swayed back and forth from the impact, and he took a few steps back.

Relying on the shield and Mjölnir, Steve caught Thanos off guard and didn't give him a chance to fight back.

Steve, who was riding the momentum, sensed something. He swung the hammer again from below, and it glowed with white lightning as he pointed it at Thanos a few meters away.

A white bolt of lightning shot out of the hammer and hit Thanos in the chest, knocking him down again.

The white lightning didn't stop, making Thanos's body numb and painful. For a moment, he couldn't get up.

Jubilant, Steve raised his hammer.

With a thought, a streak of white lightning fell from the sky and hit the hammer.

Steve swung the hammer down, and the lightning instantly struck Thanos, who was lying on the ground. It fell with a loud bang and shocked him until he groaned.

Kill him while he was down!

Steve jumped up to smash Thanos in the head with Mjölnir.

Thanos flipped over in time to avoid the fierce hammer. He grabbed Steve, who was about to smash him, and slammed him to the ground. He then kicked him ten meters away, and the Mjölnir hammer fell to the ground.

At that moment, a four-armed monster who wasn't afraid of death crawled out of the dust and ran over with the glove it had just found.

Thanos smiled and stretched out his hand for the glove.

A grayish-white shadow scuttled out from behind him and jumped lightly. It clenched its fists and slashed down.

Sensing something, Thanos turned around and raised his hand to block it.

An intense vibration spread out from the contact, and Thanos felt his body tremble uncontrollably.

Recalling how he had been pounded on with Mjölnir, he roared and kicked.

In the air, Luke crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Bang! Crack!

The sound of a huge foot hitting his arms mixed with the sound of twisting metal, and Luke retreated lightly.

He didn't forget to kick at a spear that had pierced the ground.

Swoosh!

The spear turned into a silver streak which pierced the four-armed monster that was carrying the glove.

Both the monster and the glove were sent flying, and they disappeared from the chaotic battlefield.

Thanos turned around and looked in the direction that the four-armed monster had been sent flying by the spear. He then turned around and looked at Luke. "It's you."

He had a good memory for people who dared to curse him out in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Luke landed on his feet and didn't answer him. He only felt sorry for the 21.6% damage to the armor on his arms. This was the only suit he could take out at the moment!

If this thing was damaged, it would be very troublesome for him.

Sighing, he murmured, "I don't have backup armor. Looks like I can only use renewable resources this time."

As he spoke, the armor he was wearing cracked open in the front and folded toward the back, turning into a dark gray backpack which he put away in his inventory.

Thanos was stunned for a moment. This cheap-mouthed guy was already very weak in his armor, and now he wanted to take off his armor and fight him? Was he really crazy?

Putting away the only armor he had in 2023, Luke crooked a finger at Thanos. "Come and hit me, you lunatic."

Thanos: "…"

The huge figure instantly charged at Luke, and one sandbag-sized fist swung out.

Luke didn't back down at all as he punched back.

One tall, one short, one strong, one thin – their right fists suddenly collided.

Boom!

The shock wave from the punch sent debris and dust flying in all directions.

Luke spat out a mouthful of blood.

F*ck! This punch was too heavy. No wonder Thor, who had no problem punching Dr. Banner, had fallen.

What was even more tragic was that Luke's punch was from below, while Thanos's was from above.

Both parties were combat masters, and their fists collided in a straight line with no unnecessary flair.

Most of Thanos's tremendous strength was brought to bear on Luke, who spat out blood at one punch, and his feet sank into the ground.

Seeing Luke spit out just a mouthful of blood and remain steady on his feet, a trace of surprise flashed in Thanos's eyes. He drew back his left fist and punched again.

Luke didn't retreat. He turned around and swung his left fist.

Boom! There was another explosion.

Thanos couldn't help but step back as he glanced at Luke's left fist.

The fist, which was less than half the size of his own fist, glowed with a faint yellow light and was extraordinarily tough.

Luke had used the so-called indestructible Kunlun Iron Fist.

Thanos didn't stop just because Luke's fists were glowing. He punched out hard like a storm.

Luke's expression was indifferent, but his eyes burned with excitement. As expected of the legendary super tyrant boss — so strong!

Thanos had an outstanding physique, but he wasn't brainless like the Hulk.

He also had combat skills that weren't inferior to Luke's, and could always gain the upper hand even when facing the Avengers.

Except for Steve's unexpected attack just now, nobody else could even knock him down, let alone break through his defenses.

With the first two punches, Luke tested the extent of Thanos's strength. He wasn't in the habit of being beaten up like a sandbag, and hence decisively used his abilities.

Iron Fist, Combat Proficiency, Quick Reflex and Mimicry combined perfectly, and he managed to block Thanos for a few seconds.

He didn't dodge the last kick, and was sent flying into the remains of a nearby flier.

Thanos didn't even look at him as he walked straight to his giant blade.

There were too many people who were more ambitious than the sky, but couldn't withstand a few punches from him. It was just that this time, it was an Earthling, and he was still nothing like that person who had used the shield and hammer.

Luke, however, didn't stay down. He slowly straightened up after he crashed into the flier.

There was the sound of cracking as the bones in his abdomen returned to their original positions.
