If we were to ask who in this world hates the Letari and the Divine Mechanic the most, it would undoubtedly be, and only be, the Other and the Chitauri under his command.
"I'm here. What do you want, Your Majesty?" The silver-colored Letari was quietly suspended in the air, with colorful energy surrounding him.
"How dare you betray me! How dare you betray your master!" The Other raised his scepter. This time, he took the initiative to deal with the Divine Mechanical. The Divine Mechanical was a disgrace to him and the Chitauri. The more famous they were in the universe, the more incompetent he seemed. The Letari and their group were a stain on him, and as long as they lived, they would always be a thorn in his side.
This time, he brought with him a vast army of Chitauri, along with almost the entirety of his master's five Black Order generals. This strength was second only to the master leading his own forces. The Other did not believe those traitors could escape this calamity. He would use their blood to repaint the Chitauri homeworld in a blood-red rainbow.
"Thanos?" Letari softly called out the name that struck fear into the hearts of all civilizations in the universe. His direct address, unsurprisingly, drew even deeper wrath from the Other.
"How dare you! How dare you address your master by his first name!"
Before the other person could vent his anger, he felt a chill all over his body. A long sword made of condensed energy pierced through his back, and the sword appeared directly in front of him.
"There has only been one master of mine from the beginning to the end." The figure in front of Letari slowly disappeared. He now appeared behind the other person, and in front of a group of Chitauri soldiers, he stabbed the energy sword into the other person's back.
"Enough, clown!" A tall figure descended from the sky wielding a hammer, and directly brought Letari and others into the hammer's attack range.
The explosive force exploded at the point of contact between the hammer head and the ground, creating a dent in the ground about a meter deep. The other's body was almost killed on the spot.
The Letari appeared in another direction. Chitauri airships, small troop transports, and firepower ships descended from the sky, layer upon layer, surrounding the area tightly, their guns and cannons pointed in the Letari's direction.
Further out, there were special ships used to disrupt space and conduct space jump blockades, as well as arresting ships for energy blockades. Even further out in the outer orbits of space, there were even more Chitauri and Dark Quadrant ships. They had completely encircled this barren land, completely impenetrable.
Anyone who could manage to sneak away silently in a flying ship under such a blockade would be considered a miracle. If necessary, the firepower of the motherships outside would be enough to annihilate this barren land ten or a hundred times, reducing the remaining life on it by more than 99%!
In other words, the birth of this barren land is special. If it were an ordinary planet in the universe, these firepowers would be enough to tear it into debris and dust in the universe.
The Divine Mechanic's spaceship was immediately hit by saturation fire, which turned it into a shining spark in the universe.
"Just surrender and stop struggling fearlessly." A gentle voice, with a powerful and convincing force, sounded from behind Letari.
A thin figure with elegant manners like a noble slowly descended from the sky and spoke to Letari.
"Proxima Centauri." Letari looked in the direction of the translator.
"Black Dwarf." Letari turned his gaze to the tall figure that had attacked him from the sky.
"Ebony Maw." Finally, Letari's gaze fell on the thin figure who had spoken. "What about the remaining two? What about the two strongest of the Obsidian Five, Corvus Glaive and Supergiant?"
"They have more important things to do." Ebony Maw floated in mid-air, counseling in a leisurely tone, "Look around, you're surrounded. With our power, you have no chance of victory. Why not surrender? The Master is always happy to give capable people a chance. You will be forgiven, reused, and gain unprecedented strength and power!"
A trace of confusion flashed across Letari's face at the sound of Ebony Maw, but soon a warm blue light slowly emerged from his forehead, making his mind clear.
The sapphire of tranquility is like a third eye, quietly embedded in Letari's forehead.
A bewitching tongue.
Ebony Maw's unique talent. His tongue possesses a magical, bewitching power! It always finds an angle to unconsciously control and guide your emotions, ultimately leading you to become captivated by his language and a slave to it.
Those who are influenced by his bewitching tongue will unconsciously accept Ebony Maw's orders like puppets, and obey him obediently without any sense of self.
He always uses his persuasive tongue to bring Thanos the intelligence and information he wants, and to control and influence the people he needs to control. He possesses similar abilities to Superstar, another of the Black Order, but his specialty is mind control.
The Obsidian Five each possessed their own strengths. As the five most powerful warriors within the Dark Order, each of them was a formidable force that troubled every major civilization in the universe. This time, the five of them were dispatched together, not only for the Cosmic Stone, but also to deal with the traitorous Divine Mechanists.
"Oh? You, or you guys really have some unknown secret! You can actually break free from the influence of my ability." Ebony Maw was not surprised but happy to see that Letari was dancing in the universe under his temptation. His eyes lit up and he said with excitement.
"Let me take care of him!" Black Dwarf took a step forward, clutching his weapon. While he was the weakest of the five, that was only the case within their group. He didn't possess any exceptional talents or abilities, but his physical fitness and strength were exceptional. In the words of his companions, he was a good tank.
"As you wish." Seeing Black Dwarf step forward, Ebony Maw had no intention of competing with him. In his opinion, the Divine Mechanic Laetari wasn't very powerful, and Black Dwarf was more than capable of handling him. Even if something unexpected did happen, he would be able to spot some clues from the side.
Anyway, Black Dwarf is tough and strong, so even if something unexpected happens, he won't die. He is always cautious.
"The Lord's eyes are watching here." Letari's calm expression suddenly became pious and fanatical. He looked at the black dwarf who was rushing towards him like a rhinoceros, cut off his left arm and threw it away.
The silver metal left arm continuously transformed and reassembled its parts in mid-air, finally forming a triangular metal structure in mid-air. This metal structure emanated a vast blood-red energy, like a printer, rapidly printing a tall red figure in the air.
High-position projection summoning device: Mangogo of Resentment.
After it appeared, it raised its head and roared angrily, as if it were real, and its body that looked like flesh and blood leaned forward. The surging sound waves roared out a transparent and spreading ripple in the surrounding space. Then it looked down from above and punched the black dwarf who rushed in front of it without being able to stop, knocking him to the ground on the head.
The black dwarf's head collided with the metal ground, and half of his head was smashed into the ground by the huge force.
"Waste." Seeing Black Dwarf's poor performance, Ebony Maw couldn't help but curl his lips and waved his finger. The gun barrels of all the surrounding ships immediately turned towards Mangogo and Black Dwarf.
Energy rays intertwined into a web, completely engulfing the area where Mangogo and the black dwarf were located. The dense light even made it impossible to see the tall bodies of Mangogo and the other two, completely burying them in the energy bombardment.
Layers of metal flew off the surrounding ground. The metal melted and fractured, then fell to the next layer, and the next layer after that. The only constant was the shower of light.
Ebony Maw didn't show any mercy just because Black Dwarf was there. He knew Black Dwarf was tough and strong, and these attacks, which were not even as powerful as the mothership's main guns, could not kill him. But if he could quickly eliminate the troublesome monster summoned by Letari, even if Black Dwarf suffered a little damage, Ebony Maw felt it was worth it.
However, the opposite happened. After the attack, the black dwarf's vital signs were still strong and obvious, and the energy fluctuations of the summoned monster were still there.
Ebony Maw disliked the monster's energy; he sensed a sense of chaos and intensity. Its energy, like his own, possessed the power to influence emotions and minds. He keenly sensed that his abilities would be severely compromised in the face of such energy. Thinking of Letari, who remained unaffected by his bewitching tongue, Ebony Maw vaguely believed he had discovered Letari's and their secrets.
This energy must be the reason why Letari and the others changed their temperaments and even betrayed them! They were infected! They were controlled!
Even with this in mind, Ebony Maw had no intention of stopping and showing mercy. The other party was not a partner, or rather, the other party was not even within his scope. He was only interested in the secrets behind the other party, but did not care about the other party as a person.
This energy could influence and restrain his abilities, but on the other hand, he felt that it could also enhance his abilities, making them even more powerful and contagious.
Ebony Maw planned to capture Letari and interrogate her or study the unknown energy in her body. Thinking of this, he waved his hand and began to mobilize his spiritual power.
The moment Ebony Maw decided to take action himself, Letari also entered combat mode. His body began to disintegrate, a dense web of tiny cracks forming on his otherwise monolithic frame, and the tiny components within him underwent complex and intensive deformations. The "heart" within his chest was completely connected to a rapidly expanding dimension.

Buzz!
There seemed to be a faint roar of machinery coming from the surrounding space. Ebony Maw looked around in some uncertainty. Under his astonished gaze, all the surrounding flying ships seemed to be swallowed by invisible black holes, twisted and crumpled into balls of metal.
There seemed to be a powerful processing plant in the air, where metals were sorted into piles according to their components, and then further processed according to a certain proportion.
Brand new metal ingots slid into the void like an assembly line, then turned into parts and slid out from the other end. Finally, the parts completed self-assembly in a void and assembled into strange-looking mechanical bodies.
The whole process was smooth and pleasing to the eye. The mechanical sounds and metal collision sounds coming from the void were like a beautiful melody. In just a moment, the dark quadrants and the Chitauri spaceships in the sky had all turned into strange mechanical creatures like dumplings.
Ebony Maw sensed something was amiss and attempted to contact the mothership in outer space to launch an attack. Strangely, despite the communication being clear, he received no response. Out in outer space, there was a dead silence. This only intensified his anxiety.
"Don't call upon your fleets. They are ours now," Letari said in a muffled voice, noticing Ebony Maw's movements. His appearance had completely transformed, a layer of black mechanical armor tightly enveloping him. Two massive metal wings, with a wingspan of over thirty meters, composed of countless nanowires, seemed to be connected to a dimension within the void, absorbing energy and controlling everything in that space.
"What did you do?" Ebony Maw now understood that something must have happened to the motherships outside, and these changes were all related to the transformed Letari.
"We just invaded the intelligent systems of all the motherships, tampered with them and liberated them. Maybe you don't understand what the Divine Mechanic means. Let me tell you! The Divine Mechanic means the believer and darling of mechanical technology! The number of motherships and the deployment of machinery are meaningless to us. It will only strengthen our strength." said Letari.
The powerful spiritual impact condensed into substance, blowing away the metal ground and rushing towards Letari. Feeling that the situation was getting out of control, Ebony Maw no longer underestimated Letari and the others.
The floating machines suddenly connected, creating an orange energy barrier between Letari and Ebony Maw. Then, one barrier after another rose, locking Ebony Maw and a small mechanical factory firmly inside.
"You can experience the torrent of machinery here first. I'm going to look for raw stones for the master." When Letari saw Ebony Maw being swallowed by endless machinery, his wings swayed gently like cloth, and the whole person suddenly disappeared into the surrounding space.
