"Nebula, go in and follow the plan. If anything unexpected happens, I will take care of everything," Sebastian instructed quietly.
"Yes!" Nodding firmly, Nebula no longer hesitated and pushed open the door. She walked into Thanos's lounge holding a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, moving inside very cautiously.
At this moment, Thanos's voice suddenly rang out.
"Since you are here, hurry up and come in. There is no one else here except me and Gamora," Thanos said calmly.
Hearing Thanos's words, Nebula took a deep breath and immediately walked inside. After turning a corner, Nebula finally saw Thanos sitting on his massive throne and Gamora standing under the throne with a solemn expression.
Seeing Nebula, Gamora's eyes immediately reddened with emotion as she whispered urgently, "Nebula, since you have already escaped, why are you still here? You are courting death! Turn around and leave immediately! I can help you stop Father. Leave now!"
Thanos watched Gamora and Nebula with interest. To Thanos, Gamora and Nebula truly exemplified the difference between having a beloved daughter and a foster child.
Although neither was his biological child, Thanos took Nebula's rebellion lightly, treating it as a minor fire that could be extinguished with a single hand. However, Gamora, his daughter's courage to stand up to him for her sister, not only did not anger or bring sorrow to Thanos, but actually gave him relief. He was pleased that his daughter was not a cold-blooded person, and so he decided to spare Nebula's life for her sake, sparing Gamora's grief.
Of course, before that, he needed to deal with the formidable enemy who had infiltrated his ship.
Slowly standing up from his throne, black flames gradually burned on Thanos's body. He looked at Nebula, no, he looked at the empty space behind Nebula, and said, "I knew long ago that it would be impossible for Nebula to break free from her restraints so easily, avoid the powerful Black Order and most of the soldiers, and rush here quickly. I was still wondering how she did it. Now it seems that with your help, it will be easy for her to do these things."
"We were discovered. This should not be the case. The person who can discover my magic should not be you at least," Sebastian said, revealing himself.
As the words fell, Sebastian appeared behind Nebula, then took two steps forward and stood in front of Nebula protectively. He took a quick look at Thanos at this time, and suddenly realized something, "This is my mistake. You can discover me, it should be because of the Phoenix Force fragment in my body, right? It is just that I did not expect that you can sense the Phoenix Force stored in the storage bag. This is indeed my miscalculation."
With a light pinch of his right hand, his wand emerged from thin air. Although he looked calm on the surface, Sebastian was ready to go all out. Obviously, so was Thanos.
The next second, silently and without a trace, raging black flames erupted from all directions, rushing towards Sebastian as if they were alive.
Sebastian casually tapped Nebula's shoulder with his wand, instantly teleporting her to Gamora's side.
Without hesitation, Nebula grabbed Gamora's hand and fled toward the exit. But just then, Ebony Maw approached from a side passage. Seeing Gamora and Nebula trying to escape, he reached out to restrain them with his telekinesis.
Sebastian waved his wand at Ebony Maw, and an invisible gravitational force instantly acted on him, sending him flying backward with a scream. His body was completely pinned to the wall behind him with tremendous force. His previously mobilized telekinesis quickly dissipated.
Seeing Ebony Maw repelled, Nebula immediately pulled Gamora toward the escape pod.
Meanwhile, Sebastian, distracted by Ebony Maw, was completely engulfed by the black flames Thanos had wielded.
"Fighting me, yet you dare to be distracted? Foolish!" Thanos said with contempt.
BANG!
With a muffled thud, the black flames enveloping Sebastian instantly exploded, dissipating into specks of light that scattered around him. Simultaneously, Sebastian waved his wand like a conductor, stirring up streams of light with a unique rhythm that transformed into countless bolts of lightning that rained down upon Thanos.
With a wave of his hand, a brand-new Double-Edged Sword, also shrouded in inky black flames, flew from the side and landed in Thanos's hand. With a simple wave, he blocked all of Sebastian's incoming lightning bolts.
"Do not use such gimmicks like that! It is embarrassing!" Thanos taunted.
Instantly, Thanos descended from his throne, slashing with his Double-Edged Sword. The raging black flames carried the momentum of overwhelming victory toward Sebastian.
Bang!
The Double-Edged Sword slashed into the void outside Sebastian's body, seemingly blocked by some rigid invisible substance, unable to advance an inch. At that moment, dark energy swirled in Sebastian's eyes, and the shadows beneath Thanos's feet suddenly moved, transforming into shadow demons that roared and bit at Thanos's legs and body.
Simultaneously, Sebastian drifted backward, the pale black crystal-like barrier around him gradually fading. It was this barrier that had previously blocked Thanos's devastating attack.
The shadow demons frantically bit and clawed at Thanos, only to be quickly consumed by the black flames surrounding his body.
Suddenly, Sebastian swung his wand at Thanos, and a multitude of invisible, intangible blades descended upon him. It was none other than Sectumsempra!
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
Thanos swung the Double-Edged Sword, spinning it like a propeller, blocking most of Sebastian's attacks. However, Sebastian's attacks were complex and numerous, and Thanos was eventually cut and bleeding from multiple wounds.
The last of the Sectumsempra slashes was blocked. Thanos looked at Sebastian with contempt and whispered, "Sebastian Shaw, are you underestimating me, or have you reached the limit of your skills? If it is the latter, then you will perish here today!"
Smiling and shaking his head, Sebastian said calmly, "It is neither the former nor the latter. I have been fighting you with all my strength this whole time."
As the words fell, Sebastian stretched out his hand and waved it in Thanos's direction. The blood from Thanos's torn flesh flowed out of the wounds and quickly gathered in Sebastian's hand, transforming into a humanoid figure that bore a striking resemblance to Thanos. Such a strange and ominous method gave Thanos a bad feeling.
"As I said earlier, I have been fighting you with all my might. I have never underestimated you. This is not the end of my skill. I am simply preparing for my final resort," Sebastian said coldly.
As the words fell, the black smoke in Sebastian's eyes thickened by three points, almost turning them completely black. At the same time, black lines quickly spread across the body of the little figure made of blood, like ferocious claws or murderous blades, enveloping the little figure's entire body bit by bit, inch by inch!
