There were too many secrets hidden in the vast expanse of stars.
Every minute, countless empires were destroyed in time, and every minute, countless civilizations rose from the ruins. For ordinary mortals, the boundless universe was just a vague concept. For those who had never seen the vastness of the stars with their own eyes, it was just an instinctive feeling of grandeur. In fact, the real situation was a thousand times or even ten thousand times grander than imagined!
For mortals who could only run back and forth on the earth for their entire lives, in fact, everything between the stars was meaningless to them. No one knew whether there was a pair of indifferent or curious eyes in the sky above their heads, watching their every move.
Living was sometimes a burden. It was so heavy that they didn't even have the time to look up at the starry sky. More often than not, they had already exhausted all their strength just to stay alive.
"Buzz!"
A ray of light jumped out from the darkness, like a shadow entrenched outside the floating gravel above an ordinary planet. When the light slowed down a little, he revealed his figure. He looked like a slender and tall human wearing a black leather armor with a pale ghost-like mask. Circles of collars wrapped around his neck, making him look like he was integrated with his armor.
In his hand, he held a golden and black battle spear. At the top of the spear, there was a blade and a slanted sharp blade. At the end of the spear, there was a sharp spearhead. Obviously, this was a weapon that was difficult to use well. However, since he had the confidence to hold such a thing, it meant that this guy must be very dangerous.
He stood up on the floating black stone and looked into the distance. There, a huge "legion" was advancing.
That was a dense mass of gravel, spiraling like a "planet" that existed in a special form. It was like a gravel storm in the universe. Wherever it went, everything would be cleared.
Inside those gravel were the "nests" of the Chitauri. These insect creatures also needed to reproduce. Of course, their habits were similar to the Zerg. As long as there was a "mother nest", they could spawn an army in a short period of time. However, the Chitauri's former mother nest had been destroyed by Thanos. Now, they could only use these small nests to hatch new warriors under the orders of their new conquerors.
This method effectively prevented the Chitauri from being reunited by a huge will. The speed at which soldiers were born was definitely not slower than before.
In the middle of the gravel, a huge throne was suspended in the dark star field. It looked like a throne made of overlapping obsidian. The structure was separated by layers and did not touch each other. It looked a little strange. Some special instruments were installed on its lower layer, allowing it to move quickly in the starry sky.
However, the purpose of the throne's existence was to provide the monarch with authority. Therefore, there was also a monarch sitting on this throne.
He wore a specially-shaped metal armor, pure gold mechanical boots, and a blue and gold helmet. He was not very tall, only two meters in height. However, his body was unusually wide and looked very bulky. He had dark purple skin, a big chin with overlapping wrinkles, and a pair of blue eyes. The aura of his whole body was silent and restrained.
He sat on his throne, looking forward without focusing his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about some obscure questions or knowledge. The Chitauri's nests formed a huge group around him, and the dark star field behind him was like a background, setting off this guy's slow advance. This guy did not look kind. In fact, before the name of the Tyrant became famous in the Milky Way, this was a character that was feared by the entire Milky Way.
Thanos, Mad Titan, Slayer, Conspirator, Madman.
These were his former names, given to him by those who feared him. As for himself, he had only one name.
Thanos!
A villain's name that sounded like a ruthless character.
After the figure standing on the black stone saw Thanos appear in the distance, his figure quickly rushed among the dark stars. In the screams of the Chitauri, he stepped on these floating nests, like an invisible shadow, quickly approaching Thanos who was in a state of contemplation.
Finally, he stood on the large platform under Thanos' feet, holding his weapon, kneeling on one knee toward the monarch on the throne in front of him, and said in a hoarse and gloomy obscure voice:
"I'm back! Thanos! "
"En?"
This awakened Thanos from his contemplation, and his eyes regained vitality. He looked down at the servant under his feet and said softly:
"Death Blade, my most loyal follower, what news have you brought back for your leader?"
"Great Thanos, that remote civilization is currently at war. They have a war with some Heavenly Fathers who have returned from other dimensions. It has been going on for nearly seven months. Both sides have suffered casualties, but as a whole, in the face of the Heavenly Fathers who have formed an alliance, the civilization of that planet is at a disadvantage."
The existence named Death Blade General seemed to have gone to Earth. He explained the current situation there in detail to his master:
"The last two surviving isolated islands of human civilization are struggling against their compatriots from other directions. Under the control of the will of the Heavenly Fathers, they are almost forcibly divided into two camps. However, relying on the three Infinity Stones in the hands of those humans, they still have the power to fight back, but overall, that planet is very suitable for invasion!"
He raised his head, and under the ferocious mask, his eyes shone with naked malice:
"If you give me your invincible soldiers, I can guarantee that within three months, the war there will end, and I will give you the Infinity Stones with both hands!"
"Three?"
Thanos ignored the request of his follower, he rubbed his chin: "How can there be only three?"
"Humans hold the two Infinity Stones in their hands, and the Reality Stone was divided into two pieces by them, used for the defense of the Will of the Gods on the isolated islands of two civilizations. They did this very cleverly, even if it was me, in that case, I wouldn't have made a better defensive countermeasure."
Death Blade General replied:
"However, according to the news obtained by Ebony Throat, the surviving humans themselves are not peaceful. A war outside the civilized world has lasted for three months. The purpose of the war is not clear, but Ebony Throat told me that he guessed that the purpose of the war should be related to the fourth Infinity Stone, which is the Soul Stone!"
"The Space Stone is in the hands of the nominal ruler of that galaxy, the Divine Realm people from Asgard, and when I left, the Asgardians seemed to have received the news of your impending arrival from some channel, and they began to set up a defense line outside the stars."
Death Blade quickly said: "But their most advanced combat power, the Divine Father level warrior, the Lord of the Nine Realms, Odin, is currently seriously injured. Unfortunately, the Asgardians are very strict with internal monitoring, and the Neighbor Star planned two assassinations that ended in failure. According to the information we received, Odin's injury was caused by the current controller of the Power Stone, the Overlord Saber .Hawke who also came from Earth …"
"Before Saber .Hawke left, he vowed to kill all the Divine Fathers who returned, and now, he has that power."
After quietly listening to all the information, Thanos Overlord's fingers tapped on the armrest of his throne, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally, he said in a deep voice:
"Then call them back."
"What?"
The Dead General raised his head in surprise, and then he heard Thanos say in a relaxed manner, "Leave Ebony Throat there, let him play his own strange tricks, let the war between them be more fierce, exhaust their vitality, let them start an internal fight before the final moment arrives, and wait for the insufferably arrogant Overlord to return to the earth. We will be bystanders, watching him take his world and fight to the death with those Heavenly Fathers."
"Asgard may perish, and maybe they will turn defeat into victory. These are not important. What is important is that after the war, when they are licking their wounds, that is our best time to attack."
Thanos Overlord said softly: "Time is on our side. Don't worry, my General. When those people on Earth find all six gems for me, I will give you the opportunity to conquer that civilization with your own hands. You will appear with my endless army to celebrate their victory and cruelly take away all their hopes, just like you have done countless times, taking away all life and leaving only a pile of wreckage."
As he spoke, Thanos Overlord turned his head to look at a small galaxy on this journey. There, there was a small planet that ignited the fire of civilization. Although it had just entered the world of feudal civilization and had not yet begun to explore the starry sky, all this could not be hidden from Thanos Overlord's eyes.
Looking at the lonely planet in the galaxy, he chuckled and snapped his fingers. The broken stones in the starry sky outside the galaxy were wrapped in scorching flames, and under the effect of some powerful force, they swarmed toward the innocent little galaxy.
"Death Blade, you should know very well what I need the Infinity Stone to achieve. I have failed once, and I will not allow myself to fail a second time …"
Mad Titan seemed to have done something trivial. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, looked at his loyal general, and asked again:
"By the way, where are my most trustworthy daughters? Gamora and Nebula, they seem to have not come back to see me for a long time. "
This question made Death Blade General silent for a long time. It was not until two minutes later that he spoke with difficulty:
"Nebula disappeared completely after the ambitious Ronan, the warlord of the Cree, died in the Scarred Galaxy. It is said that she appeared once on Monarch Star, but it has been occupied by the local rebellion army. It is difficult to find traces of Nebula's existence at present."
"As for Gamora … she, she has joined Overlord. Many Interstellar Pirates have seen Gamora in Overlord's fleet. She seems to be quite important."
After speaking, the powerful general shut his mouth sensibly. He knew that now was not the time to talk more. Hearing this news, Thanos's eyes narrowed suddenly. He snorted with an unknown meaning, "That's right. That's right.
"Oh, that is to say, my lovely daughters have betrayed me and joined a guy who thinks he can fight against me. This is really sad …"
Thanos Overlord whispered: "I picked them up from the ruins, I gave them the best combat skills, taught them to protect themselves and conquer civilization, and made them the strongest in this starry sky. Then, they betrayed me in return?"
"It's unbearable!"
A touch of anger flashed in Thanos's eyes:
"Go, Death Blade, take your companions and find my dear daughters. I want to ask them, what did I do wrong as a father …"
"Yes, Great Thanos Overlord!"
The figure of Death Blade General disappeared with a whoosh. Thanos Overlord stayed in this silent star field for a moment. He felt very bored, so he returned to his deep thoughts. The entire storm-like giant gravel belt moved forward quickly and soon crossed the corner of the Milky Way.
After Thanos left, this ordinary small galaxy once again returned to silence, and the planet that gave birth to the civilization had been completely buried in the destruction of the heavenly fire.
What did the lives of mortals mean to such an existence?
Perhaps at least in Thanos Overlord's view, they were only used to announce the existence of power, no different from a stone that could be destroyed at will.
In other words, for the poor mortal civilization, the destruction without warning was often just a joke of the God of the Sky.
