"Huh? Oh… okay, Karl~ I'm going right now, hehe!"
Ganata was briefly lost in thought when she heard Karl's order.
A moment later she reacted, nodded happily, and disappeared from the warship.
She didn't really care who the enemy was.
To her, everything in front of her could simply be eaten.
Besides, if Black Phoenix couldn't handle the situation, Karl would definitely call her again.
So for the moment, she was more concerned about what she would eat for dinner.
Most of the food supplies aboard the warship had already been consumed by Ganata.
Meals were usually prepared in hundreds of portions at a time.
She could sit inside the restaurant all day eating.
Even if she never truly felt full—
She simply loved the taste of food.
Fortunately, Karl frequently fed her pure energy condensed from the six Infinity Stones and the Self Stone.
Otherwise, she might have simply swallowed the entire fleet of warships long ago.
Karl actually liked this simple-minded daughter of Galactus.
After all, having Galactus as her father meant Karl technically had an extremely powerful cosmic connection backing him.
The next moment—
Ganata appeared directly within the enemy fleet formation.
She raised her hand.
A massive black hole composed of silver cosmic energy formed before her.
The black hole began devouring warships one after another.
When the fleet saw this, the remaining warships immediately opened fire on Ganata.
But their attacks were meaningless.
Every beam of energy was swallowed by the cosmic singularity she created.
Even the soldiers rushing toward her were devoured.
Among them were numerous Chitauri warriors.
It seemed that the army Loki once used to invade Earth had only been a small portion of their total forces.
The massive fleet present here represented the true Chitauri army.
Unfortunately—
All of it was quickly swallowed by Ganata.
BOOM—!
Meanwhile, Thanos and the remaining Black Order members attacked Black Phoenix directly.
The surviving members unleashed their full strength.
But they soon realized something troubling.
Supergiant's mind control had no effect.
Ebony Maw's telekinesis also failed.
Even his famous verbal manipulation abilities did absolutely nothing against Black Phoenix.
Soon, Thanos, Proxima Midnight, and Black Dwarf joined the attack in close combat.
BOOM—!
Black Phoenix finally became slightly serious.
She began using the Phoenix Force aggressively while effortlessly dodging their melee attacks.
At the same time, she condensed a sphere of crimson Phoenix energy and launched it toward them.
Meanwhile, even more Phoenix Force gathered within her hands.
Seeing the blazing red energy attack approaching, Thanos and the others prepared to evade.
But suddenly—
Black Dwarf rushed forward.
He positioned himself directly in front of the others.
A fierce expression appeared in Thanos' eyes.
After all, such loyalty could become either a strength—
Or a dangerous weakness.
Meanwhile, Supergiant, Ebony Maw, and Proxima Midnight stared in shock as Black Dwarf charged forward.
Black Dwarf himself felt extremely proud.
If he could block the attack, it would surely earn him Thanos' recognition.
BOOM—!
Black Dwarf raised his massive axe.
He infused it with his own energy and swung it toward the incoming Phoenix attack.
The moment the two forces collided—
The energy exploded violently.
Black Dwarf was blasted backward.
Both of his arms were completely destroyed by the impact.
His axe was instantly vaporized.
His chest was burned black and severely damaged.
He was gravely injured.
WHOOSH!
While Black Dwarf was busy defending against the attack, Black Phoenix had already completed her next move.
The Phoenix Force gathered in her hands—
Then she released it.
A blazing phoenix-shaped construct of crimson fire emerged.
It flew toward Thanos at incredible speed.
The attack carried both overwhelming energy and the essence of the Phoenix Force itself.
Thanos' expression immediately turned serious.
He felt an intense sense of danger.
If that attack hit him directly—
He would likely die.
So Thanos began to evade.
But wherever he moved—
The fiery phoenix followed him.
A dark expression crossed Thanos' face.
He had not expected the attack to possess tracking capability.
Seeing the danger, Ebony Maw, Supergiant, and Proxima Midnight launched their own attacks at the phoenix.
But their efforts barely slowed it down.
Just as the phoenix was about to reach Thanos—
Thanos suddenly grabbed the heavily injured Black Dwarf.
He pulled him directly in front of himself.
At the same time, he infused his double-edged sword with energy, preparing to endure the aftershock.
BOOM—!
Black Dwarf immediately realized what was happening.
Fear filled his heart.
Even Thanos himself had been trying to avoid this attack.
How could he possibly survive it?
He struggled desperately.
Trying to escape.
But Thanos' grip on his neck was unbreakable.
The phoenix attack struck Black Dwarf directly.
The explosion engulfed him instantly.
His body was completely annihilated.
Every trace of him vanished.
Even Thanos' weapon was partially disintegrated by the Phoenix Force.
Realizing this, Thanos immediately threw the damaged weapon away.
Within seconds, the Phoenix energy reduced it to nothingness.
Watching this scene, Ebony Maw, Supergiant, and Proxima Midnight all had complicated expressions.
They had just witnessed Thanos sacrifice one of his own generals without hesitation.
Meanwhile—
Ganata had already finished devouring the entire fleet.
Even the damaged flagship that had been pierced earlier was swallowed.
The soldiers that had escaped were also instantly decomposed by the cosmic energy inside Ganata's body.
She looked around proudly at the empty battlefield.
Then she flashed back to Karl's side.
Now—
Only Skyblade VII remained in the vastness of space.
Thanos' enormous interstellar fleet had been completely devoured.
Floating in space, Thanos and the remaining members of the Black Order stared at Karl's group with grave expressions.
How much time had actually passed?
Not long.
Yet their entire fleet had been destroyed.
Two members of the Black Order were already dead.
Meanwhile, the enemy had only deployed two fighters.
Thanos finally realized something.
He had seriously underestimated his opponent.
At that moment, Black Phoenix looked at Thanos with open disdain.
The Phoenix Force around her surged violently.
In the next instant—
She disappeared.
Then she reappeared directly in front of Thanos.
Her fist shot forward.
A punch infused with the Phoenix Force—
Aimed directly at Thanos' face.
