The Infinity Stone was not something unfamiliar to Saber. On Earth, he had come into contact with the magical Time Stone that could control the flow of time, the Tesseract that could tear and strengthen space at will, the Space Stone, and the greedy Reality Stone that could theoretically fulfill all wishes. The Soul Stone that bred an evil soul but also contained a small world.
Finally, there was the strategic weapon of Utopia currently held by Professor Charles … the Soul Stone that could invade and modify one's mind at will.
In other words, he had already come into contact with five of the six stones. Only the Strength Stone had not appeared on Earth. Now, Saber suddenly realized that he was actually so close to that stone!
"Ah, so the Reality Stone has indeed brought me to the thing I need the most … and when I was the closest to it, I was only one step away from it."
Saber laughed self-deprecatingly. "Fortunately … it's not hopeless."
He turned back to look at Gamora. The Mad Titan's favorite adopted daughter was extremely weak at the moment. She did not even dare to raise her head. She could feel that the pair of eyes in front of her was very, very dangerous.
Saber did not care about Gamora's vigilance, or rather, he was used to this kind of vigilance. He waved his finger in the air, and the blue flame throne appeared behind him. In front of him, there were two more burning seats. He sat on the throne, crossed his arms, and looked at the hesitant Quill and Gamora in front of him.
"Tell us, while we still have time, tell us your story. The story about Thanos. I can feel that he might be a big problem."
Gamora hesitated in the face of this request, but in the end, she took the lead and sat on Saber's flame throne. Unexpectedly, it was not scorching hot, but only warm and comfortable. She sat on it and sighed.
"Where should I start? When I first met Thanos, I was still a child who did not know anything. I used to see him as my father, as my commander, and as my role model in life. But when I returned to the ruins more than ten years ago, I found out that it was that big-chinned purple lunatic with his crazy followers who destroyed my home and my world. His purpose was to please a woman."
Gamora raised her head and looked at Saber.
'To please a Cosmos God, death … is the embodiment of the Myriad Existences. I once saw it from afar when Thanos had a tryst with Death. Just that glance caused me to stay in the medical chamber for two months. Every minute and every second, I could feel the impending death enveloping my body. On my soul, I have never felt death so close to me before. She is whispering by my ears … she is also a madwoman!'
Camora seemed to recall her past. She couldn't help but hug her body tightly. This topic seemed to make her uncomfortable, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Thanos was a conqueror, but his conquest wasn't purely for power. In fact, he didn't care about power at all. I saw it with my own eyes. When he conquered the home planet of the Zetari in another galaxy, he easily killed the Zerg Queen of the Zerg Warriors and placed her skull in his starship as a trophy. But soon, he was filled with disgust for that world, so he destroyed it, brought the Zetari across the galaxy, and returned to the place where he was born … and completely razed it to the ground."
"He told me that only when he sat on the throne and looked down on those living beings who knelt before him could he feel satisfied in his heart. Only then could he feel that he was still alive. To achieve this goal, he constantly destroyed civilizations. Wherever he went, only slaughter and destruction accompanied him. That's why these people called him the 'Mad Titan' because nobody could understand his actions."
Camora's gaze fell on Saber's right hand, where there was a sturdy golden gauntlet. Camora pointed at it and said, "Thanos had a piece of armor similar to this one.
"Thanos has a weapon that looks exactly like your gauntlet. The first time I saw it was when I was 13 years old. Thanos forged it in the core of a star. He was very happy to tell me that he planned to use this weapon to conquer the entire universe. Judging from various signs, Thanos is not invincible. In the years that I don't know, he has failed at least once. The price of failure is that Thanos has not left this galaxy for at least 100 years."
Camorra sighed.
"His failure is a painful memory for him, but for others, it is the beginning of despair. Thanos is waiting for the weapon to be completed. I don't know much about it, but the power stone is definitely a part of the weapon. By then, he may only need a thought to destroy the entire Milky Way. Then, he will take his new toy to his former opponent."
"By the way, the Mad Titan was a title given to him by those who feared him. He called himself … Thanos!"
"Thanos?"
Seiber's eyes narrowed. He seemed to have heard of this name more than once in Loki's memories, but he didn't show any surprise. He pondered for a moment and asked again, "What's the name?"
"Then what's going on between Ronan and Thanos? And your sister who betrayed you … Nebula? Sounds like a good name. "
"Ronan is just Thanos's dog, and the kind that doesn't listen to him."
Camora spat in disdain.
"That arrogant fool thought that he could challenge Thanos just because he obtained the Power Stone. He didn't know that even if he didn't use the Power Stone, Thanos could still finish him off with a single punch. That's already unimaginably powerful. Ronan and Thanos only met recently. Ronan wanted to rely on his own strength to conquer the Nova Legion, but that fool couldn't do it, so he came to seek Thanos' help."
"Thanos looked down on him. This is normal. For someone like Thanos, the weak are not even comparable to dust in his eyes. But Thanos found the location of the power stone from ancient records. At that time, he was planning an expedition to a remote civilization, so he asked Ronan to help him retrieve the power stone. Nebula and I were assistants who assisted Ronan."
A trace of undisguised anger flashed across Camora's green face.
"Nebula is also an idiot! She actually believed the promise of that idiot Ronan. She actually believed that Ronan would be Thanos's opponent. I clearly told her that as long as she went with me to find the collector, we would be free. But … that short-sighted fool. Maybe Thanos injured her brain when he operated on her. She actually ambushed me with Ronan! Damn it! Damn it! "
"Bang"
The armrest of the flame seat was broken by Camora. Burning sparks jumped in the woman's hand, which made Saber look at her in a new light. In terms of strength alone, Camora was already a qualified warrior. It should be said that she was worthy of being the adopted daughter of Thanos. Among ordinary people, she was already considered an extremely strong warrior.
"Finally, let's talk about the power stone. What do you know about the Infinity Stone?"
Saber raised his head and looked behind Quill. He could see the stars getting closer and closer in the distance. It seemed that the Scarred Galaxy where the battlefield was located was not far away. It was time for this conversation to end.
This question made Camora stunned for a moment. She rubbed her forehead and whispered:
"I once peeked at Thanos' notes about the Infinity Stone, but the content was too obscure. I don't have a brain like Thanos that can compare to the computing power of the starship's mainframe. I can only barely know that the Infinity Stone is not a product of this era. It comes from the previous era. It is said that when the previous era was destroyed, a powerful Cosmos God left behind the remains of power. They respectively represent the basic rules that were extracted at the end of the universe. The name of that Cosmos God is Vengeance …"
"It is said that in the ancient era of the universe, the Infinity Stone was kept by the Elders of the Universe. The collector was once a member of them. But later on, this organization was disbanded for unknown reasons. The last order they issued was that the Infinity Stone should never be placed together. It must be kept separately in different corners of the universe. But …"
Camora carefully raised her head and looked at Saber, who seemed to be deep in thought. She lowered her voice.
"But now, five of the six Infinity Stones are gathered in a remote civilization called Earth. If you get the power stone, it means that the people of Earth have all six Infinity Stones. I don't know why this is, but if I were you … I wouldn't think that this is a good thing …"
"When someone as strong as Thanos faced the Infinity Stone, he remained humble and cautious. For a civilization that has not stepped out of the planet, completely keeping such a treasure is simply a sign of the coming of the end. This universe is infinite, and Thanos can barely be counted as one of the strongest. When your civilization faces Thanos' Destruction Legion … there is no chance of victory."
"Ah, this is indeed a headache …"
Saber's fingers kept jumping on the golden handle of the war scythe in his arms. He closed his eyes slightly.
"To be honest, I don't know what the pitiful Earth is capable of to encounter so many terrible things … But now, it doesn't seem to be the time to discuss this. Let's solve the problem in front of us first. Do you know where Ronan's flagship is?"
"Yes!"
Camora exercised her wrists as she spoke to Seiber, "The Dark Star is easy to find. It's just too ugly. It's so ugly that you'll be able to tell with a single glance on the battlefield. It's Luo Nan's terrible taste that's been passed down from his ancestors. This will truly bring about the end of the world for him. As for me and my dear sister, Nebula, there are some 'matters' that we need to discuss.
"The best? You? "
Saber turned his head to glance at Camora. He shook his head.
"You're still far from it. Among the people I know, there are at least seven who can kill you silently. However, since I'm severely lacking in manpower right now, I'll accept your recommendation, Gamora. Go, you'll act together with my demon assassins and guide the way for my army."
He placed his left hand on the railing of the bridge. He looked at the super battlefield that shone like a comet amidst the dark stars. He spoke in a low voice.
"I don't have time to tangle with these trash. It's time for a clean and efficient decapitation operation."
"Decapitation operation?"
Camora stood up from her chair with a swish. She spoke softly, "I like this word … And I will prove that I am the best assassin!"
"Then go. I'm waiting to see!"
Saber waved his hand and Camora left the bridge in large strides. Quill stood beside Saber with some hesitation. He lowered his voice.
"Is the situation on Earth very bad?"
"Yes, child. It's very bad. It's worse than you can imagine. Compared to the pressure of life and death there, the war in front of us is nothing. As an Earthling who walked out of the cruelest hell, I feel that it's necessary for me to teach these overly civilized spacers what to do in the face of war …"
Saber leaned his battle scythe on the side of his hand. He adjusted his state of mind and took a deep breath.
"Danger is always as bright as the sun for people like me. I will use a clean and efficient massacre to tell them that the barbarians of Earth are here. Facing my raised butcher's knife, they might be prepared. Who knows?"
"Don't be crazy, Saber. They have at least 50,000 spaceships!"
Quill advised. "We have no chance of winning if we charge head-on."
"I've made up my mind. Say no more!"
Saber jumped off the bridge and sat in the command seat. He pointed his finger forward. There, at the edge of the battlefield, the Cree warships and the New Star Regiment were firing wildly. Hundreds of assault spaceships were like fallen leaves in a storm, trying to completely pull apart the anxious battle in the rain of bullets.
"Speed up! Charge! Stab them in the heart! Then tell them … we're here! "
