In truth, with Thor's current God-King level strength, whether he has Mjolnir or not makes little difference to him.
In fact, holding Mjolnir might even distract him since he'd be wielding two divine artifacts, causing his strength to drop slightly.
The reason Thor is so obsessed with Mjolnir is more out of nostalgia for the past; after all, it is the only thing left to him from Asgard's era of glory.
With Captain Arica joining the fray—having claid Mjolnir and beco Captain Thor—the battle beca much easier for the Avengers.
The two Thors, one with the hamr and one with the axe, called down bolts of lightning from the sky, striking down swathes of Thanos's fodder and greatly relieving the pressure on the other Avengers!
Natasha and the Green Doctor, in particular, had been almost entirely suppressed in the fight just now.
Natasha was limited by her Earthling physiology; even with the Red Room's enhancents, she was simply not in the sa league as a top-tier cosmic assassin like Proxima Midnight. She fared well in team fights, but in a one-on-one, she was completely outmatched by Proxima.
As for the Green Doctor, in terms of raw strength alone, even without Hulk's ability to grow stronger with rage, he was actually a notch above Black Dwarf.
The problem was that Dr. Banner, who was in control of the body, was far too inexperienced in actual combat. So, despite being stronger, he was still being pumled by Black Dwarf!
If not for the Hulk's thick-skinned and durable body, Banner would have been beaten to death by Black Dwarf long ago!
It wasn't until Captain Arica arrived with the hamr and drove back their opponents with lightning that Natasha and the Green Doctor could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The repelled Black Dwarf and Proxima Midnight took a mont to see Ebony Maw, who had turned into a pile of black ash, and Corvus Glaive, whose head had been half shaved off. Both of their expressions were incredibly grim.
"@#￥%...&*!"
Black Dwarf spewed a long string of alien profanities at Captain Arica and the others. Captain Arica and his team didn't understand a single word and looked on with confusion.
Proxima Midnight, however, was more cultured. Because, hey, she was an alien who could actually speak English!
She pointed her spear at Captain Arica, her eyes filled with resentnt.
"You will pay for his life with your own!"
Hearing these familiar words from Proxima Midnight, Captain Arica sighed helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I get it. You already said that the last ti we t. That ti, your boyfriend faked his death to ambush Vision, which is why I chose the unethical thod of cutting off his head this ti to prevent him from resurrecting..."
"Also... look around. Today is not like the past. Your defeat is certain; you are destined not to defeat us. If you retreat now, I will let you take back your boyfriend's body."
Upon hearing this, the feigned resentnt in Proxima Midnight's eyes vanished. She cast a subtle glance at the Glaive beside his corpse, suddenly reached out into the empty air beside her, and said indifferently to Captain Arica:
"Defeat is certain? While it was indeed a surprise that you could kill Ebony Maw... the real battle is only just beginning..."
"Isn't that right... Supergiant!"
As Proxima Midnight spoke, the air beside her suddenly distorted, and a graceful figure wearing a hood and a white skin-tight battle suit appeared next to her.
That was... one of Thanos's adopted daughters, the ntal manipulator of the Black Order, and its most mysterious mber: Supergiant!
For the longest ti, everyone thought Thanos's most capable subordinates were his four adopted children, the Black Order.
But no one, not even Thanos's other two adopted daughters, Nebula and Gamora, knew that there had actually always been five mbers of the Black Order.
Besides the four mbers of the Black Order known and feared by everyone in the Universe—Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, Proxima Midnight, and Corvus Glaive—there was another mber who never showed her face: Supergiant, who hid in the shadows!
She was eerie, mysterious, and ca and went without a trace. She was one of Thanos's trump cards!
Thanos's ability to smoothly conquer Planet after Planet in the Universe could be largely attributed to this mysterious adopted daughter.
Before Thanos officially invaded a Planet, Supergiant would descend there in advance. Relying on her telepathy and ntal control abilities, she would secure the Planet's treasures for Thanos or manipulate its strongest warriors ahead of ti!
And this ti was no exception!
Supergiant, having revealed herself from invisibility, opened her palm. Hovering in her hand were three Infinity Stones: Red, Orange, and Purple!
This caused Captain Arica to turn pale with shock. Hadn't he told Tony to keep a close watch on the stones?
Wait, where was Tony?
Oh no!
Captain Arica only now realized that during the team fight just now, Tony seed to have disappeared!
Imdiately, Captain Arica's body crackled with lightning as he pointed Mjolnir at Supergiant, demanding sternly, "Where is Tony? What did you do to him?!"
Hearing this, a bewitching smile curled the corners of the mouth hidden in the shadows of Supergiant's hood. "Want to know? Defeat us in this next phase, and I'll tell you~"
With those words, Supergiant tossed the Power Stone and the Reality Stone to Black Dwarf and Proxima Midnight beside her.
Black Dwarf caught the Power Stone with one hand. The stone's imnse power surged into his body instantly, causing purple cracks to slowly split across his skin!
But Black Dwarf relied on his monstrous constitution to endure the Power Stone's backlash, and he slamd it directly onto his hamr-axe!
Proxima Midnight, who also caught the Reality Stone, did not place it on her weapon. Instead, she clenched her fingers around it, absorbing it into her body. When she opened her eyes again, they were glowing entirely red!
Finally, Supergiant held the Soul Stone between her fingers and pressed it against her forehead. Under the orange glow of the Soul Stone, her mysterious and seductive face, previously obscured by her hood, was revealed.
Supergiant's eyes glowed yellow, looking at the Avengers with a hint of eerie divinity. Her voice seed filled with enchantnt.
"Ah~ so this is the Soul Stone? This feeling is truly wonderful~"
Already a ntal manipulator, Supergiant's own abilities were now greatly enhanced by the Soul Stone's power. The World in her eyes seed to have changed.
Besides being able to sense the ntal strength of others, Supergiant could now see a profound, mysterious light on everyone.
It was as if everyone in her eyes was divided into different ranks.
For example, those biological fodder soldiers all had the lowest level of faint white light, so dim it was almost negligible.
Beside her, Black Dwarf and Proxima Midnight were enveloped in blue light within a golden glow. The outer golden light was clearly emitted by the Infinity Stones, while the inner blue light was Black Dwarf and Proxima themselves.
Then there were those annoying Avengers opposite them.
The two n—one with a shield and hamr, the other with a giant axe—had the most intense light, a gold that was only slightly dimr than the Infinity Stones.
None of the other Avengers had a light lower than purple, though the brightness of their respective lights varied.
Supergiant also vaguely understood what these various colors and brightness levels represented. It wasn't about their raw power, but rather... their weight within the Universe!
Or rather, the impact they would have on the Universe!
Looking at the golden light on Captain Arica and Thor, which was similar to the Infinity Stones, Supergiant couldn't help but be surprised. Did it an these two unremarkable-looking fellows could have an impact on the Universe comparable to the Infinity Stones?
Was this... reasonable?
A certain Captain Arica from a sacred tiline—who caused the 'Avengers 5: Doomsday' event by traveling back to the past to enjoy his life—gave a thumbs up, implying: 'I single-handedly raised the value of all Captain Aricas in the Multiverse, is there a problem?'
And the God of Stories behind Thor would say: 'As the one who holds the Multiverse in my hands, is there a problem with my brother having a bit more luck/destiny?'
Supergiant was just reeling from the shock of the golden destiny on Captain Arica and Thor, but almost imdiately, her surprise turned into sheer terror!
Because in the next mont, two blinding Suns appeared in the sky, their light completely overshadowing the gold on Captain Arica and Thor!
One was Thanos, whose golden light was even more intense than the Infinity Stones!
The other was... Spider Monarch, whose light was a red so deep it was almost black!
