Ian actually doesn't want to fight Thanos in close combat.

However, Thanos is not the kind of opponent with huge size and clumsy movements, and most of the attack methods are difficult to hit him directly.

Moreover, with Thanos' physical strength, most of the attacks cannot cause effective killing if they are not hit directly.

‘The first time temptation, you can’t expose too many attack methods!’ Because of this idea, Ian chose the melee battle he was the least good at to face the enemy.

He just thought it was to be familiar with Thanos' melee rhythm in advance. In any case, melee is inevitable.

There are definitely countless close-up methods like Thanos, who are experienced in many battles, and Ian is basically impossible for him to avoid it completely.

But Thanos' melee is really too strong, not only the pinnacle combat skills, but also the almost unsolvable power and defense.

The most important thing is that his attack also has an absolute destructive power.

No matter what absolute characteristics are given, the round shield of defense will be cut off with one knife.

Absolute hardness, toughness, power absorption, power rebound, etc., all kinds of absolute characteristics have been proven to be ineffective.

‘How can I break the deadlock?’ A question flashed through Ian’s mind.

But before he began to think about the answer, Thanos seized the opportunity after being distracted at this moment.

Thanos suddenly burst out and the attack rhythm suddenly increased.

"Dang~Dang~Dang!" The three-sided round shield was split in half almost at the same time.

Ian didn't have time to reunite his shield, and Thanos had already slashed his last sword.

This sword made him unable to dodge at all, and he just subconsciously blocked with a battle axe.

"bite!"

Needless to say, the tomahawk in Ian's hand was cut by Thanos.

The last knife was slashed out, and the explosion was exhausted, and Thanos' attack rhythm was slightly slower.

Ian seized the opportunity, retreated instantly, avoiding the subsequent attack.

Thanos did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him. He shook his sword twice and stood up again.

It seems that I am waiting for Ian to prepare again before starting the next round.

‘The heavy weapon is not suitable for me!’ Ian simply threw away half of the battle axe and replaced the weapon in his hand with a lightsaber.

The battle just now made him understand:

Facing a strong man like Thanos who has both strength and skills, unless his power is greater than him, heavy weapons are useless.

"Come again!" Ian's lightsaber pointed and the battle began again.

Light weapons like lightsaber are more suitable for him.

After changing into the lightsaber, his combat skills have improved by at least one level.

Although it is still incomparable to Thanos, it is not powerless to fight back.

Moreover, the small mistake just now made Ian become more cautious and more focused.

For Thanos' attacks, he basically dodged if he could dodge. If he really didn't have time to dodge, he would use a round shield to block it.

At this time, the round shield floating around Ian had changed from three sides to six sides.

Of course, Ian did not forget to fight back. If the lightsaber is not attacked in his hand, would he treat it as a glow stick?

Moreover, his counterattack became faster and more tricky!

Perhaps because he didn't understand Lightsaber, Thanos's attack changed from blocking to dodging in the face of Ian's attack.

Although Thanos is huge and strong, his reactions and agility are actually very strong.

This top melee universe powerhouse has absolutely no shortcomings in the body.

Ian competed with a small match against big, and had no advantage at all.

"Kill!" Ian suddenly spoke, distracting Thanos's attention, and at the same time the lightsaber's blade suddenly surged.

Originally, Thanos stepped back a little, just right, making Ian missed the attack.

As a result, the blade suddenly became longer, and Thanos did not react in time and was stabbed in the knee by a sword.

Ian stopped when he saw the outcome, and did not rush to check the results of the battle, so he pulled back.

"A good plan, but unfortunately your sword is a little weak!" Thanos said indifferently, shaking his knees.

At this time, Ian noticed that the sword just now only left a small black dot on Thanos' knee, and even his skin was not pierced.

"What a strong defense!" Ian was also surprised.

Although he had never thought that a lightsaber could severely damage Thanos, the result in him was still a little difficult for him to accept.

After all, the lightsaber he used is not an ordinary lightsaber, but a lightsaber that has been enhanced by absolute characteristics, and the energy output power is almost no upper limit.

‘Thanos’s absorption efficiency of energy attacks is so high? Is it his own ability or the effect of the power gem?’ Ian guessed in his heart.

No matter which reason it is, it is not good news for him.

Because most of his methods are essentially energy attacks.

The only difference lies in the way and efficiency of energy utilization.

Anyway, the battle is not over yet.

Ian pulled out a lightsaber again, but the blade changed from white to red.

Then he held the lightsword and went to Thanos to kill.

The battle broke out again...

The battle between Ian and Thanos is more like a competition, and both sides have reservations.

The battle between Asgard and Thanos's fleet is the real life-and-death battle.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

But as Thanos' core fleet joined the battle, Asgard began to defeat.

The gap between the two sides is too big, and even if Thor Thor personally joins the battle, he cannot save the defeat.

If he kills one enemy, two enemies will rush up, killing one hundred enemies and one thousand enemies.

His killing efficiency alone is really insignificant than a huge fleet.

Seeing one warrior after another die in battle, Thor finally understood: "A person's power is limited after all!"

Especially as the defense line was destroyed little by little by little by little by little by little, Thor knew that resisting hard was no longer meaningful and would only increase meaningless sacrifice.

So he quickly made a decision: "Retreat! Open up the comprehensive defense system and rebuild the defense line!"

With the retreat of the Asgard fleet, a large number of gaps appeared in the defense system instantly.

Countless landing ships poured in from the gap.

They basically headed straight to the Immortal Palace in the center of the Divine Realm.

Most of the soldiers evacuated to the rear and controlled the defense facilities in the rear to continue to resist the invasion.

Only some important nodes remain in the outer defense line, including the Rainbow Bridge.

Fortunately, as the front line extends backward, the pressure at these peripheral nodes drops sharply, and there is no risk of being destroyed for the time being.

The purpose of the enemy's attack seems not to destroy Asgard at all, but to rush into the Immortal Palace in the center of the Divine Realm?

Compared with the strict external defense system, the defense density inside the divine realm is far less high.

Perhaps Odin never thought that the enemy could break through the peripheral defense system and rush into the interior of the divine realm.

The result of this is that the Thanos fleet is advancing very quickly.

In just a few minutes, it has advanced to the Immortal Palace.

They cleared out the surrounding defense facilities and surrounded the Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Palace is the strongest place in the entire divine realm, but it is just defense.

It is impossible to build too many attack facilities in an important place like the Immortal Palace.
