I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

The Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight before us are undoubtedly such opponents.

After Depp and Corvus Glaive reached the peak of their momentum, they began their operation at the same time.

With a snap, the two of them vanished from the ground at the same time.

They then appeared in another location at the same time.

Depp suddenly appeared to be wearing two vibranium-made nano-gloves with sharp claws, which he gripped tightly onto Corvus Glaive's black blade.

Then, Depp disappeared again, reappearing behind Corvus Glaive, and aimed the vibranium gauntlet, now fully charged with kinetic energy, at the back of Corvus Glaive's head.

Then, the kinetic energy was converted into a shockwave, and it exploded with a bang.

Corvus Glaive was clearly not as fast as Depp, but his long-cultivated fighting instincts made him subconsciously lower his head.

This meant that the shock blast did not hit Corvus Glaive completely, but only grazed the top of his head.

A few strands of black cloth drifted down, and Depp punched the top of the black hood on Corvus Glaive's head, revealing the gray skin underneath that had long since lost its hair.

After the attack, Depp disappeared from his spot again, reappearing a hundred meters behind Corvus Glaive, creating distance and preventing Corvus Glaive from launching a counterattack.

General Corvus Glaive turned around, touched his bald head, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

“Kid, your progress has surprised me.” Corvus Glaive ripped off his cloak and hood, tossing them to the ground. “But I’m sorry, you may not be able to grow any stronger. You must die here today! Proxima Centauri, let’s attack together!”

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately shifted his attention to Proxima Midnight, which was standing nearby.

The woman with blue hair and a strange black crown around her head picked up the divine spear forged by Thanos.

Like Stormbreaker and Thor's hammer, it was forged in the star.

It is said that after this divine spear is thrown, it will transform into three rays that travel at near the speed of light.

Most organisms hit by the rays will die instantly.

Therefore, Depp paid extra attention to Proxima Midnight's hand movements; once the woman started throwing javelins, he would have to be careful.

Meanwhile, Depp also had to keep a close eye on Corvus Glaive's movements.

It must be said that compared to his previous one-on-one fight with Corvus Glaive, this was much better.

The difficulty of fighting two opponents at once is extremely high.

The moment Depp saw Proxima Midnight raise her spear and begin to throw it, he vanished from his spot and launched an attack on Corvus Glaive.

By the time the beam of light from the gun reached the spot where Depp had been standing, he had already run up to Corvus Glaive.

Depp deflected the Soul Blade that Corvus Glaive swung at him and retreated again.

He clenched his slightly numb hands and felt the tearing sensation in his arm, but Depp showed no signs of distress after the injury.

Because he discovered that the spear thrown by Proxima Centauri was far from reaching the speed of light.

He could even barely observe the trajectory of the gun ray. Although its power and speed were indeed impressive, it wasn't as fast as the speed of light, leaving Depp helpless.

Proxima Midnight grasped the divine spear that had been stuck in the ground with her left hand, and it immediately transformed into a golden light and reappeared in her hand.

Just as she was about to attack Depp again, a huge fist suddenly appeared in front of her.

While Proxima Midnight possesses great speed and power, it still cannot compare to Corvus Glaive.

She had no chance to dodge Depp's punch.

Then Depp punched her dozens of meters away, and she fell to the ground screaming.

At the same time, Corvus Glaive's attack followed.

General Corvus Glaive was naturally furious that his wife had been punched and sent flying.

He leaped directly behind Depp, ready to deliver a swift and decisive blow to the human who was hitting the woman.

Depp was too late to dodge, so he chose to retreat while turning back to meet the attack.

Heat rays condensed in his eyes, and white rays carrying the power of thunder shot directly towards Corvus Glaive's blade.

Upon seeing this, General Corrupt Blade's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"This kid actually wants to use this trick on me again? Doesn't he have any memory at all?"

Indeed, in the first encounter between Depp and Corvus Glaive, Corvus Glaive used his sword to forcefully cleave through Depp's heat rays as he advanced.

This blade, imbued with the soul of Corvus Glaive, can even slice atoms in two, making Corvus Glaive virtually immune to any energy attack.

Because he can use the blade in his hand to cut through those energy attacks, or even reflect them directly.

What he didn't expect was that Depp's heat rays were different from others.

That thing of his can turn corners!

One beam of heat rays emanated from Depp's eyes, shooting towards Soul Blade, while the other veered around to Corvus Glaive's side, attacking him directly.

The next moment, Corvus Glaive, whose attack speed remained undiminished, was pierced through the body by the heat ray.

Having been baptized by Thor's hammer, the power of Depp's heat rays is now vastly different.

But Corvus Glaive was different from those grunts; the heat rays didn't vaporize him, they just passed through his body.

Corvus Glaive was now close to Depp, the two of them face to face and less than half a meter apart.

Seeing this, he laughed and said, "I must commend you, child, I like your aggression. However, you may have underestimated my strength and regenerative abilities, and you want to trade blows? I'm not afraid!"

But the next second, Corvus Glaive immediately realized something was wrong.

This guy's ray attack is weird!

General Corvus Glaive noticed that the driver's arms and waist, which had been pierced by the heat rays, were beginning to feel slightly numb.

"The rays even have a paralyzing effect. You're quite something."

As he spoke, General Corvus Glaive bit his tongue hard, hoping to use the pain to reduce the effects of the paralysis.

Depp took advantage of this moment to immediately increase his speed and distance himself from Corvus Glaive.

Corvus Glaive shook his arm, which had been reactivated by the pain, and said, "This is the last time you'll surprise me, kid."

After saying that, Corvus Glaive raised his Soul Blade and ran towards Depp.

Behind Depp, Proxima Midnight quietly arrived with her gun.

Just as she was about to throw the gun at Depp, several crimson chains suddenly appeared around her.

The chains bound his limbs and body, trapping him on the ground.

No matter how much Proxima Midnight struggled, it could not break free from these crimson chains made of magical elements.

After all, these are the Crimson Chains of Cytorak, which even their master Thanos could trap!

Depp silently used the magic taught by the Ancient One to trap Proxima Midnight.

Then, without fear, he looked at the General Corvus Glaive who was rapidly approaching him, and made a gesture with his hands ready to catch the blade.

Seeing this, Corvus Glaive immediately grinned maliciously, "Proxima Centauri, wait until I kill him with one spear, then I'll come save you. Don't rush, my love..."

With a soft "thud," the Soul Blade struck its target precisely.

But the expression on General Corvus Glaive's face froze instantly, and he stopped mid-sentence.

Because, just as the Soul Blade was about to strike Depp.

Depp, assuming a fighting stance, raised his finger and trembled slightly, and a portal about half the size of a person appeared in front of him.

The Soul Blade pierced through the portal, directly penetrating the chest of Proxima Midnight, who stood on the other side of the portal, looking utterly astonished.

"My dear... I never imagined that I would die at your hands."

Blue blood trickled from the corner of Proxima Centauri's mouth; his life was rapidly slipping away.

Finally, the light in her eyes completely disappeared, her head drooped, and she stood stiffly in place.

This warrior, who had fought alongside Thanos for hundreds or even thousands of years, still did not fall after being killed by her own husband.

To die standing on the battlefield was the lifelong pursuit of these outstanding soldiers.

Meanwhile, Corvus Glaive had already drawn his Soul Blade and entered the portal to embrace Proxima Midnight.

With a slight moisture in his eyes, he said, "Don't worry, I'll make that guy pay, I definitely will!"

Raising his hand and holding up the Soul Blade, Corvus Glaive deflected the heat rays fired by Depp around him, then stood up and stared intently at Depp.

If he was just showing off his desire for killing and fighting...

Now, Corvus Glaive is ready to fight Depp with the determination to die.

Chapter 201 A Power Even Thanos Had Never Heard Of

In Asgard, Odin sits on his throne, his imposing presence causing one to tremble.

Beneath his throne, Thor, Loki, and Jane Foster knelt.

Thor looked down at the floor and said, "Father, Loki and I apologize for our recklessness. We almost handed the Aether to Malekith."

Odin looked at the people kneeling below the throne and asked, "Almost? So that means you regained the Aether?"

Thor shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't us. It was Depp who interrupted Malekith's ritual of absorbing the Aether and then put the Aether away again."

"It was him?" Odin pondered. "If I remember correctly, the Mind Stone was also in his possession."

Thor stood up and said, “Father, there’s no time to discuss this now. Depp is in trouble in the Dark Kingdom. Besides Malekith, there are two more powerful men who seem to be supporting Malekith from behind.”

Upon hearing this, Odin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What did those people look like?"

Loki stood up and said, “One is a man wearing a black cloak, with gray skin all over his body, and carrying a strangely shaped battle blade. The other is a woman with blue skin, huge black horns on both sides of her head, and carrying a golden spear.”

Jane Foster added, "Yes, and judging from their behavior, they seem to be a couple."

After listening to their descriptions, Odin muttered to himself, "Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight? Thanos was involved in Malekith's actions. This makes sense."

"Thor, Loki, take me to your former battlefield."
