...

The first to arrive was a zombie wielding a spear-like weapon.

This was Corvus Glaive, one of Thanos's top lieutenants, known as the Black Order. He had somehow avoided Roger's heat vision, used earlier to clear out the lesser enemies, and dodged Thor's lightning strikes.

Now, seeing both Roger and Thor incapacitated, he charged at them in a frenzy.

Corvus Glaive was incredibly fast. As one of Thanos's most formidable warriors, he possessed physical abilities and a healing factor far beyond those of ordinary beings.

Now, driven by hunger, his speed exceeded even his usual limits, nearly breaking the boundaries of what was biologically possible!

In mere seconds, he had broken free from the horde, leaping through the air with his mouth wide open, aiming for Roger's back.

But Corvus Glaive's attempt was thwarted.

Thor had been keeping an eye on him, and although Roger was focused on maintaining his heat vision, his super hearing was still active, alert to the slightest sound around him.

Just as Corvus Glaive was about to bite down on Roger, the two of them, Roger and Thor, twisted their bodies and threw Thanos to the ground.

Roger's heat vision then swept over, cutting Corvus Glaive's chest in two, slicing him from the middle of his torso.

Even with just his head and shoulders left, Corvus Glaive still refused to give up, trying desperately to reach the 'food' in front of him. But in the next moment, Thor's foot crushed his skull.

"We can't let Thanos clench his fist!!"

Roger shouted to Thor as he saw Thanos attempting to close his hand, seemingly trying to activate the Infinity Stones.

Roger clung tightly to Thanos's left hand, trying to remove the gauntlet while also preventing Thanos from clenching his fist.

But as Roger struggled to control Thanos, Thanos was also trying to turn his head to bite Roger. Thor quickly moved in, locking Thanos's head from behind and using his legs to immobilize Thanos's other arm.

After doing this, Thor shouted to Roger:

"This isn't going to work!!"

"I know! So how much longer until your axe gets here?!"

Roger shouted back at Thor.

At this point, the only thing capable of severing Thanos's arm was Thor's axe. But unfortunately, Thor had thrown it earlier as a projectile, and now it was nowhere to be found.

Thinking about it made Roger want to curse Thor. Even back when Thor used a hammer, he had a habit of throwing it around, and in the end, it got destroyed by his sister Hela.

Now, Thor hadn't learned his lesson, instinctively throwing his weapon at enemies. And now, the axe had been teleported who-knows-where, and it hadn't returned yet.

Though cursing Thor in his mind, Roger had conveniently forgotten that he himself had been hoping Thor's flying axe would decapitate Thanos earlier.

"It's close! It's on its way!"

Thor responded to Roger's question.

Perhaps due to Thanos's diminished consciousness, the portal opened by the Space Stone hadn't sent the axe far from Earth. It was flying back at high speed, but it was still in space, and reaching Earth would take some time.
