Chapter 578: Berserk Brawl
Kaido violently reached out with a massive arm, hooking his fingers right under the chassis of a yellow taxi!
The driver, who had just scrambled out of the car, took one look at this demon-god-like behemoth and collapsed to the ground, his legs turning to jelly.
With a berserk roar, Kaido swung his thick arm in a wide arc, hurling the entire taxi at the hovering Ebony Maw like a cannonball!
"You pretentious piece of trash!"
"I am absolutely sick of your high-and-mighty attitude! Get down here!"
The speeding taxi suddenly ground to a dead halt just a few meters in front of Ebony Maw, locked in place by an invisible, overwhelming force.
Maw simply flicked his finger downward casually.
With an ear-piercing screech of twisting metal, the entire car was instantly crushed into a ball of scrap iron!
A split second later, the massive iron sphere slammed back toward Kaido at an even more terrifying speed!
Kaido didn’t even try to dodge. His blood-stained mouth split into a savage grin as he threw a completely unembellished punch!
BOOM!
The iron sphere was flattened into a pancake by the sheer, unadulterated violence of the blow. It skimmed across the ruined street and crashed through a corner cafe!
Before the dust could even settle, the mountain-like Cull Obsidian was already charging right in front of Kaido.
His broad giant axe tore through the air, bringing the howl of death straight down on Kaido’s head!
Kaido couldn’t even be bothered to dodge.
Squelch!
The razor-sharp axe blade bit viciously into his broad shoulder, lodging firmly between his diamond-hard dragon scales and bone!
Boiling hot blood instantly sprayed out!
A low, beast-like growl erupted from Cull Obsidian’s throat. His thick, corded arm muscles bulged as he pressed down with everything he had, intending to cleave this monster in half from shoulder to chest!
Kaido, however, slowly raised his left hand, his five thick fingers clamping down on the axe handle like an iron vice.
Ignoring the geyser of blood, he grinned, exposing his stark white teeth.
"Big guy."
"Your strength is passable."
Cull Obsidian looked up in disbelief.
Meeting him head-on was Kaido’s massive skull, wreathed in berserk Armament Haki!
BAM!
A sickening, bone-crunching thud rang out!
Cull Obsidian’s sturdy helmet was severely caved in by the headbutt. His massive body was forced backward uncontrollably, his feet plowing two deep trenches through the asphalt!
Casually yanking the giant axe from his shoulder and tossing it aside, Kaido clenched a fist capable of shattering mountains and slammed it ruthlessly into Cull Obsidian’s thick chest!
BOOM!
Like an out-of-control cannonball, Cull Obsidian smashed cleanly through a military armored vehicle!
Kaido threw his head back and let out a deafening, manic laugh.
"Is that all you’ve got, big guy!?"
"Your fists are way weaker than that crazy woman from Asgard!"
Cull Obsidian furiously threw off the scrap metal pinning him down and rose to his feet, his violent eyes burning with absolute killing intent.
He never needed words.
The sole purpose of his existence was slaughter!
Raising his giant axe high once more, Cull Obsidian roared and charged!
Kaido laughed maniacally and met him head-on with giant strides!
The two pure powerhouse monsters collided tragically like meteors, the terrifying shockwave causing the surrounding street to cave in massively!
Catching the scene out of the corner of his eye, Captain America’s feelings were incredibly complex.
He had originally been deeply terrified that this horned alien monster would completely lose control.
But right now, this brutal dragon was single-handedly tying down the most terrifying meat-grinder in Thanos’s camp!
In a New York that had completely descended into hell, this was practically a godsend!
Another suffocating pressure quietly descended. Hela had arrived.
The Goddess of Death, erased so mercilessly from Asgardian history, stepped slowly out of the blue spatial door and onto the ruined streets.
Her pitch-black hair danced wildly in the wind, and countless jagged death spikes grew madly in the air behind her.
When she saw the gray-skinned old man hovering in the air, daring to lay hands on the Tesseract, her breathtaking face instantly frosted over.
"That is Asgard’s supreme spoil of war."
"Who gave you the courage to touch it with your filthy hands!"
Ebony Maw rolled his eyes slightly, observing Hela with indifference.
"A fallen goddess stripped of her kingdom’s leylines."
"Your value to the Titan is pitifully low."
Hela couldn’t even be bothered to respond to such a cheap provocation.
She thrust both hands forward, and dozens of unparalleled, razor-sharp Necro-swords materialized instantly!
With unstoppable force, the black blades pierced through the walls of the nearby buildings, turning into a black storm that shot straight toward Ebony Maw!
But Maw merely twitched his finger carelessly.
RUMBLE!
The entire facade of a skyscraper was stripped away in an instant!
Countless thick steel rebars were forcefully ripped from the concrete like living pythons!
Wall debris, giant billboards, twisted fire escapes, and heavy iron railings were instantly warped by telekinesis into an unimaginably massive steel cage, sealing Hela dead inside!
The sharp black blades could only stab uselessly through the gaps in the cage, nowhere near their target.
Ebony Maw remained hovering precisely where he was, his tone dripping with pity.
"If you still possessed your complete godhood, I might have given you a second glance."
"But as you are now, you are merely a pathetic wraith mercilessly abandoned by your own kingdom."
From the depths of the cage, Hela’s incredibly sinister, cold laughter echoed out.
"You will pay the price for your foolish arrogance, and you will definitely regret locking me in this broken cage!"
Before she even finished speaking, the entire steel cage began to rot and turn black at a visible rate.
Boundless Death Magic was frantically corroding every inch of the steel!
Witnessing this, Thor’s heart completely sank to the bottom of the valley.
Hela would absolutely not help them.
She was only going crazy because she couldn’t stand seeing someone else steal the spoils of war she deemed her own!
And that madman Kaido was an entirely uncontrollable killing machine.
The Avengers were bogged down trying to protect the civilians.
And the Tesseract in Loki’s hands was on the verge of being lost.
This damn war had been suffocatingly hopeless from the very start!
Ebony Maw’s five fingers grabbed violently at the air once more!
Unable to resist that tremendous force, the Tesseract was forcefully lifted by a corner out of Loki’s embrace!
Loki hugged the cube tightly, his ten fingers cracking and bleeding from the exertion.
"Thor! Save me!"
Hearing the cry, Thor spun around and sprinted toward him.
But Supergiant’s eerie silhouette instantly blocked his path.
An invisible psychic blade stabbed viciously into Thor’s brain like a viper!
Thor roared in agony, forcing out a blanket of lightning to tank the hit. The violent psychic shock tore a bloody gash across his forehead.
The exploding lightning forced Supergiant half a step back.
But in that short half-step of distance, it was already too late!
Ebony Maw’s telekinesis had completely enveloped the cube.
Violent blue light began frantically tearing at the surrounding space.
One micro-spatial rift after another appeared out of thin air across the devastated street.
Several unlucky Chitauri soldiers in the distance were instantly sucked in, shredded into a mist of blood before they could even utter a scream!
Loki dropped heavily to both knees, his entire face twisting and warping from extreme pain and humiliation.
"Get your filthy hands off!"
Ebony Maw looked down from on high, his voice as calm as still water.
"Meaningless struggle."
"The terror deep within your soul has long since proven exactly whose slave you are."
A tidal wave of humiliating fury and venom instantly surged in Loki’s eyes!
He was terrified of Thanos, he never denied that!
But he hated this feeling of being forcefully dragged back to his master’s feet like a stray dog even more!
"Get lost!"
With a heavy punch, Thor blasted Supergiant away and desperately lunged forward, grabbing Loki firmly by the shoulders.
Berserk lightning surged down his arms and into the cube!
The extreme blue light and blinding lightning collided with a BOOM, and the entire city block’s power grid instantly overloaded and exploded!
Ebony Maw’s imperious hand was finally jolted into pausing for a fraction of a second.
But more than half of the cube was still forcefully ripped from Loki’s grasp!
A sky-piercing pillar of blue light violently shattered the gloomy New York sky!
At the exact same moment.
On the distant planet of Xandar.
Deep within the wreckage of the plummeting Dark Aster.
Golden Lion Shiki stood proudly in the crumbling throne room.
This pirate admiral of the Golden Lion Pirates—having reshaped his peak physical body and awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan—now stood on the shattered metal deck like an indescribable god of disaster.
Directly in front of him stood Ronan the Accuser, bracing for combat; Corvus Glaive; the heavily guarded Guardians of the Galaxy; and the Power Stone, currently radiating a devastating purple light.
At the exact moment the Space Stone in New York was wrenched by Ebony Maw, causing a violent fluctuation!
The Power Stone embedded in the war hammer seemed to resonate across dimensions, trembling violently!
The berserk purple halo danced madly!
Shiki snapped his gaze up, his blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan glowing as his face darkened to the extreme.
"Which reckless piece of trash..."
"Dares to steal my prey?!"
