The night sky in Mexico was no different from the night sky in the United States. If one had to say, the night sky here might even be more beautiful.
In the cool night breeze, Beckett, a private with a tail, sat in the back of the Hummer with his gun in his arms. He followed his captain, Cromwell, to patrol near the military camp that was under construction. After the last accident, they had returned to their original troop sequence. This was not a bad result. In fact, for the soldiers who had seen the strange story of that night with their own eyes, it was already very good to be able to come back alive.
The leader of the Devil's Gang, Seiber, had a very good saying: As a mortal, the consequences of being involved in a mysterious matter would never be good. No one in their right mind would be willing to waste their precious life on something that did not bring them any rewards.
In the last seat of the car, there was an uninvited guest.
A golden-haired brawny man landed in New Mexico with the plane that was transporting the ammunition. Then, he was sent to the northern battlefield. The seventh reconnaissance team was responsible for sending him to the border between New Mexico and Mexico. He had to walk the rest of the way by himself.
"I say, Donald, why don't you just take a plane to New Mexico?"
Beckett pursed his chapped lips and shared a cigar with Donald in a friendly manner. The latter grinned at him and didn't laugh at him for the tail behind him. Of course, he didn't laugh at Cromwell's horns either.
"No money!"
Donald gave a very standard answer, which made Beckett roll his eyes. He leisurely helped the two of them light the fire and said softly while smoking, "Then you're in for a tough time. It takes about three days to walk from here to the nearest human town in New Mexico. Even if we give you supplies, it's easy for you to get lost on the road alone. Getting lost in the Gobi … God, that's almost the same as suicide."
"I'm leaving."
Cromwell parked the car within the last cordon, and Saul, whose alias was Donald, jumped out of the military vehicle. Beckett threw him a large green package filled with food and water. The latter caught it in his hand and waved at the friendly mutant.
"Friends with long tails and horns, I'll treat you to a drink next time!"
Beckett and Cromwell looked at each other and shrugged as they watched Saul disappear beyond the cordon with his backpack. Frankly speaking, they quite liked this friendly fellow. He could drink and chat well. Most importantly, he looked like he could fight and would be the best warrior.
"Let's go back!"
Cromwell got into the car and called out to Beckett. "It's my holiday tomorrow. I'm going to Gotham to have some fun. Are you coming?"
Beckett did not answer. A few seconds later, Cromwell turned to look at his companion and saw him standing still. In the darkness further away, Donald, who had just left, was running all the way with an unconscious woman on his back. Behind him were the old man and the girl in a sorry state.
"Oh!"
Beckett glanced at the buzzing energy detector in his hand. This gadget was specially given to them by Strange to detect the fluctuations of the teleportation door. But now, the reading on the detector was so strong that it made one's hair stand on end.
He looked back at Cromwell helplessly.
"Man, it looks like our holiday is gone."
Ten minutes after the accidentally unconscious Jane Foster was sent to the Third Army camp, Strange, the Grand Mage of Kamar-Taj, who had received the news, appeared in the barracks. He only felt the faint dark aura on Jane and his face changed drastically as he declared martial law. In less than five minutes, the entire camp was surrounded by more than thirty fully armed Kamar-Taj Battle Mages. The soldiers in the camp were urgently transferred. In the sky, four Underworld Dragons and a lot of data from the Great Demonic Bat Cavalry patrolled back and forth.
Obviously … something super big had happened.
"What the hell is going on? It's only been one night. What's wrong with this girl? "
Saber, who was wearing pajamas, and Selena, who was also wearing a nightgown, stepped out of the teleportation door and saw Jane Foster wrapped in a layer of runic magic circle shining with golden light. The intellectual astronomer was now floating in the air one meter above the ground with a painful expression on her face. The disciple of the Grand Mage King and the Ancient One, Kamar-Taj's Battle Mage leader, Mordu, personally operated this complex magic circle.
Strange held a staff in his hand and stood aside, looking murderous. At the same time, his whole body was shrouded in a cold aura.
Hearing Saber's question, Doctor Strange turned his head and showed a bitter smile.
"There are six Infinity Stones, the Stone of Time is sealed in Kamar-Taj, and the Soul Stone is somewhere on Earth. Now … we have found the third one."
"What?"
Even with Saber's current will, he was shocked speechless by this news. He raised his head and looked at Jane. In the vision of the Eyes of Repentance, the unconscious girl was covered in a layer of dark red liquid dotted with an unknown light. It was like a life of its own, constantly expanding, contracting, and repeating this process. It seemed to treat Jane's body as its own nest … or rather, a carrier.
"What the hell is this?"
Saber felt a sense of danger from the layer of dark red liquid. He subconsciously protected Selena behind him and asked in a low voice, "Is it dangerous?"
"The Reality Stone has always been synonymous with danger."
Mage Mordu answered Saber's question, but his eyes never left Jane's body. He said seriously, "The Reality Stone can turn all the host's fantasies into reality. As long as you can bear the terrible price of using this gem, the girl in front of you can even reshape the entire universe in an instant …"
"What's the price?"
Saber asked. Strange shook his head and looked at Jane with a deeper gaze:
"Price? Her existence will be completely obliterated, and the price of reshaping the universe in exchange for her existence is far from enough. The change will end at the moment she is obliterated. The problem is, can you imagine what kind of disastrous consequences will be caused if the basic rules of a universe are changed a little? "
"Collapse … From the extreme of the microscopic to the extreme of the macroscopic, all existence will collapse with the change of the rules, and the universe will die completely … The Reality Stone is the most powerful of the six Infinity Stones, but it is also the most difficult to control. It requires the cooperation of other Infinity Stones to work. This thing has never been a means for the weak to change their fate. It should not be held in the hands of the weak!"
Doctor Strange's voice was full of a sense of powerlessness, mainly because this matter appeared too suddenly. In the face of an Infinity Stone, no one in the world except Ancient One dares to say that they can protect it without any loss.
Even if the news leaks out, even Ancient One will face great challenges. This is an Infinity Stone, a treasure that any leader wants to hold in their hands.
Saber frowned deeply, even if he was only one step away from an Infinity Stone, he didn't want to be involved with this thing at all. He had seen the Stone of Time, but that lovely green gem would not oppress his soul. Saber only hoped to be as far away from this dark red thing as possible.
"Where is Ancient One? Get her back! "
Seiber took a deep breath. "We won't be able to protect this thing by ourselves!"
"The Grandmaster is thousands of worlds away, trying to rush back as fast as possible."
Modu's tone also had a trace of sadness: "The Grandmaster even interrupted the process of self-healing for this reason, and it will leave an eternal wound because of this, but it will take time. Before that, we have to do everything we can to guard it! At all costs! "
"Even we are all dead?"
Seiber said in disdain, but when he saw the other mages, including Strange, all standing by Jane's side to protect her, Seiber knew that it was useless to say anything more.
"What a bunch of stubborn people!"
Saber breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Selena and said: "Call our best fighters over and suspend all other activities! Then get SHIELD and Heavenly Sword Bureau, if there is a war, let them stand in front! "
Selena looked at Saber worriedly. With her understanding of Saber, she knew that Saber was going to take risks again. The latter gently wiped Miss Black Cat's face and whispered:
"Don't worry, I won't work so hard anymore."
After that, he turned his head to look at Saul, who was standing aside with a worried face:
"Let's go, take me to the place where this girl is unconscious!"
"What are you going to do there?"
Strange asked in confusion. Seiber waved his hand without turning his head. "It's an existing and stable spatial rift. It's so close to my army. I have to at least confirm what's on the other side. Otherwise, some damned thing might come out and kill us one day."
Fifteen minutes later, Saber's car stopped outside the abandoned parking lot. In the middle of the night, the parking lot that had been abandoned for at least five years looked like a scene from a classic horror movie. Saber and Saul jumped out of the car, and Dr. Erik followed behind them with a bunch of instruments, chattering:
"I don't know what happened to Jane, but I'm sure that at least one-third of the building in front of us has been completely infested by that weird thing. It's like a gate to a different world. You don't know if you'll step into hell next."
Saber took out two breathing devices used by Kryptonian soldiers from his sandalwood fan and threw them to Erik and Saul. After being modified by Dr. Ethan, this thing can maintain life for at least 15 minutes in any bad situation. It can be called the best exploration product, but he himself doesn't need it. Saber's mind moved, and the black trench coat on his body began to twist strangely, like a layer of black liquid covering his face.
Venom has been proven to help Saber breathe in outer space. With this thing, Saber doesn't need to worry about suffocating to death.
The three men were walking in the dark. Saul, who was weak, was wearing a breathing device and carrying a sword and shield sponsored by Seiber. He carefully observed the darkness in front of him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"If it has existed for five years, then why don't you ever know about this place?"
"Shh!"
Saber suddenly made a silent gesture. His eyes saw a somewhat chaotic space in front of him. He took a deep breath and stepped into it. In the eyes of the other two, Saber seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
A few minutes later, Saber poked his head out of the crack and waved to the two people behind him, motioning them to come in.
Saul was braver. As a prince who once fought across planets, he was not nervous. He clenched his sword and shield, smiled at the timid Dr. Erik, and then stepped in. The last doctor was an ordinary person, but he gritted his teeth and strode in with the fanaticism and fearlessness of a researcher.
"Boom!"
After the experience of passing through a water curtain, Dr. Erik stepped on the land of a different space. The breathing device detected the poisonous gas in the surrounding air and immediately started to work. The doctor's first foot kicked something that shouldn't exist in this place.
He looked down and saw more than 20 corpses. Judging from the painful posture of those bones, they should have died of suffocation and poisoning.
"This is the answer … The people who came here are all dead, so no one knows about this place."
Seiber stood outside the dark cave. He lifted his head and looked at the world that was completely different from Earth. What he saw was a dark sky and ominous white clouds that shrouded the horizon. The entire world was covered in a layer of scorched earth. In the distance, there were wreckages and war ruins that had been eroded by time.
"This … this is …"
Saul's eyes widened. He felt that the environment here seemed to be a place he had heard of … a place that had been completely destroyed.
"The old site of Svartalfheim! The abandoned star on the edge of the Nine Realms! It's here! "
"No!"
Seber interrupted Sol's words. He turned around, his back facing the silent sky, and slowly opened his arms. His face that was covered in poison showed a trace of toughness, as well as a trace of undisguised joy. He said in a low voice:
"Welcome to the new base of The Devil Gang … Welcome to Saber Hawke's planet!"
