Chapter 851: The Wolf Is Afraid of Both Ends
"It is my honor to serve you!" Just when Thanos was distracted by the previous illusion, Thor, who was unaware, respectfully shouted to Thanos.
"Well, now that I have recovered, I should continue with the follow-up plan." Thanos nodded after coming back to his senses, looked at the three Obsidian generals and said, "You guys came back in a hurry, for the power gem and the Are there any new clues about the soul gem?"
"I have received some useful information, saying that the Universe Elder Collector in the Land of Nothingness has recently focused on an ancient thing called the Universe Spirit Ball, which seems to contain endless power..." Superstar looked at it respectfully Thanos spoke.
"The Collector entrusted this task to the predators. I speculate that there may be an infinite gem hidden in this cosmic spirit ball, either a power gem or a soul gem!"
"Cosmic Spirit Ball? Maybe that is really an Infinity Stone..." Thanos's eyes flashed, he looked at the super star and nodded and said, "So? What happens next? Who among the predators will take over? Got the mission? Does the Collector have any more information related to the Infinity Stones?”
"Um..." After hearing Thanos's questions one after another, the superstar froze on the spot because he couldn't answer any of the subsequent questions.
After all, the three Obsidian generals had not been separated from Thanos for a long time. When they heard the news about Thanos's accident, the Obsidian generals hurried back to the base of this secret planet. There was no time to go there. What about collecting follow-up intelligence?
"Father, while you were recuperating, Ronan contacted you..." Just when the superstar was speechless, the Deathblade General on the side spoke at the right time.
"Oh? Ronan? What's the matter with him?" Thanos raised his eyebrows. The accuser Ronan is quite famous among the stars, and his strength is pretty good. Although he has not reached the level of Sub-Heavenly Father, he is still He cannot be considered weak in the universe.
"It's about the peace agreement signed between the Nova Empire of Xandar and the Kree Empire." General Dead Blade explained, "Ronan did not agree to sign such a peace agreement. He wanted us to help him destroy Xandar directly. Xing, no matter what happens, he will destroy the civilization of the Nova Empire. He said he would help us cover..."
"When did the Kree Empire become peace-loving? Is it because we have slaughtered too many civilizations before, do they want to stay together for warmth?" Thanos said with a touch of disdain on his lips.
Thanos is still very disdainful of the behavior of the Kree Empire, because to be honest, the Kree Empire is a very standard high-level interstellar civilization that obeys the laws of the dark forest. After they have grown to a certain level, they quickly focus on other countries. Planet's resources.
Even if you really count it, the number of planetary civilizations that have perished because of the Kree Empire will not be less than that of Thanos, especially the number of planets that have been depleted of resources will be countless!
It is precisely because of the growth of civilizations like the Kree Empire that Thanos feels even more that the resources of the entire universe are limited, and he needs to use infinite gems to eliminate half of the population to achieve resource balance.
Of course, if possible, Thanos would also like to destroy the entire Kree Empire, but after all, the Kree Empire is one of the three major empires in the universe, and its strength is still very terrifying, although the individual strength of the Kree people is not too great. Powerful, but the combat effectiveness they can truly exert is absolutely top-notch, because they possess powerful technological strength.
Precisely because the individual strength is not too strong and has strong technological strength, the Kree Empire simply should not be too restrained for the Skrulls. In this way, even if the Skrulls disguise themselves as Kree, they will not be able to obtain corresponding combat effectiveness. .
And the most important thing is that the commander-in-chief of the Kree Empire is a super artificial intelligent life called Supreme Intelligence. The Skrulls cannot change or steal the Kree's orders and intelligence through disguise. In the end, the Skrulls were almost defeated. The genocide was exterminated, and it was only after being saved by Captain Marvel that it began to develop and grow again...
As for the accuser Ronan, he is a traditional nationalist, imperialist and militarist, so he simply cannot accept the peace talks between the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire, so he found Thanos as foreign aid to solve the Nova Empire.
"It should be true. With our previous actions, all the middle and higher civilizations in the universe have declared a truce. Those planetary civilizations have also included us in the criminal list, even more serious than those predators. "The Dead Blade General nodded and said with a hint of mockery in his voice.
"These civilizations themselves can take action against other civilizations. As long as it is beneficial to them, they will not hesitate to destroy other civilizations. But now they are afraid because we have done the same thing..."
"Contact Ronan. We will not take action against Xandar. If he wants to take action, he can do it himself." Thanos slowly shook his head and said softly, "At the same time, let him help us eliminate half of the life on the planet. As a reward, tell him about the cosmic spirit ball, saying that the cosmic spirit ball can easily destroy Xandar..."
"We are still not sure which Infinity Stone is in the cosmic spirit ball..." After hearing Thanos' words, General Deathblade said subconsciously.
"It doesn't matter, as long as there are infinity stones in the cosmic spirit ball, no matter which one it is, it can destroy Xandar and even the civilization of the Nova Empire." Thanos said calmly.
"What if he really controls the power of the Infinity Stones and has other intentions?" Superstar frowned and looked at Thanos and asked.
"Why would the Cosmic Orb fall into his hands? He is just a pawn to help us find the Cosmic Orb!" Thanos said with a flash of expectation in his eyes, "The Kree Empire has supreme wisdom. Even if Ronan conflicts with the current policy of the Kree Empire, his status is still there, and he should be able to help us find the whereabouts of the Cosmic Orb better..."
"Now, let's go to Nidavellir to exterminate the dwarves. This time I don't plan to leave half of them behind. Thor, this time I want you to take action on the dwarves yourself, how about it?"
"I will definitely complete your order, my lord!" Thor heard that all the dwarves in Nidavellir were to be exterminated, and his expression did not change at all, and he still said very respectfully.
To be honest, Thanos wanted to exterminate the dwarves of Nidavellir not out of revenge, but mainly because the threat of the dwarves was too great. If they could create the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand, they could create the next one. Such dangerous things could only be controlled by Thanos himself, especially after he sensed the previous illusion.
Thanos acted very quickly, and in a blink of an eye he returned to Nidavellir with Thor and the three Black Orders. However, through the scanning system of the space battleship, Thanos and others found that there was no sign of life on Nidavellir.
Not to mention the signs of life, even the common buildings on Nidavellir before were almost gone, and the device that could release neutron star energy also disappeared.
"Did the dwarves escape? Have you ever heard of the dwarves in your universe?" Thanos frowned after seeing this scene. He originally had no intention of letting the dwarves go, but now he was even more murderous. He was worried that the dwarves were taken away by some other ambitious people.
After all, Thanos was not the only one who knew the secret of the Infinity Stones in the universe. He was not the only one who knew the Infinity Gauntlet and had the ambition to collect the Infinity Stones. Just like the collector of the void, with his character of wanting to collect and preserve everything, if he really found the Infinity Stones, he would also be tempted.
"I'm investigating..." The superstar's body trembled slightly, and he quickly responded and began to investigate all the information about the dwarves.
Thor on the side flew away from the space battleship and went to Nidavellir to search carefully, highlighting his dedication.
"Father, among the known information now, only one dwarf has been collected from the Collector, but it was collected a long time ago, not after you came to Nidavellir last time..." After a while, Superstar looked at Thanos and said carefully, "As for the other information about the dwarves, I haven't collected it yet."
"I know where the dwarves went!" Before Thanos spoke, Thor's figure quickly flew back to the space battleship and shouted excitedly at Thanos.
"Oh? Where did they go?" Thanos asked with some expectation, his eyes flashing.
"Asgard!" Thor said with a very firm voice, "I saw many marks left by the Rainbow Bridge on the land of Nidavellir, which means that the dwarves should have moved to Asgard through the Rainbow Bridge..."
"Asgard?" Thanos frowned when he heard this, and the whole person fell into silence. He stared at Thor without saying a word, and seemed to be a little hesitant in his heart.
Although Odin, the god king of Asgard, is now old, Thanos does not know what state he is in. Thor is Odin's son after all. If they really go to Asgard, it is hard to guarantee that Odin will not have a way to restore Thor.
Especially Asgard is Odin's home ground. Even with the Mind Stone and the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos is not sure that he can fight Odin...
Of course, the most important thing is that Thanos knows from the dwarf king Etri that the former god king Odin also made a pair of Infinity Gauntlets. What if all this is calculated by Odin, wouldn't he be walking into a trap if he goes there?
"My Lord? I know how to get to Asgard. Just lower the Rainbow Bridge..." Seeing that Thanos fell silent, Thor thought that he was struggling with how to get to Asgard, so he confidently promised, and at the same time shouted to the top, "Heimdall! Open the Rainbow Bridge!"
"Wait!" Thanos's face changed involuntarily. He didn't expect Thor to be so impulsive. He was so impulsive that Thanos doubted whether Thor was not controlled. Now he was ready to take them all to Asgard and catch them all in one fell swoop.
However, as Thor's voice fell, the light of the Rainbow Bridge did not descend. Heimdall was not a fool. He knew that Thor was controlled by Thanos and he teleported Thanos to Asgard. Wasn't he afraid that Robert and Clark would invade Asgard and start a war again?
Heimdall didn't know that Thanos was afraid of Asgard, because both Heimdall and the God King Odin were also very afraid of Thanos who possessed the Infinity Gauntlet and the Mind Stone. It was like fighting a wolf with a stick and being afraid of both ends.
In short, Thanos was not sure that he could defeat the unknown God King Odin and the Asgardian strongmen in Asgard, and Asgard, which was already very weak, was not sure to deal with Thanos, so both sides restrained themselves and had no intention of meeting.
"Why is there no response?" Thor's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, and he looked at the Thor's hammer in his hand and muttered, "Is it another recognition problem? But Thor's hammer is still in my hand..."
"Forget it, since the dwarves have gone to Asgard, let them go for the time being, and we will continue to look for the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones!" Thanos waved his hand, fearing that Thor would shout twice more and Heimdall really lowered the Rainbow Bridge, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Even if there is an Infinity Stone in the Cosmic Spirit Sphere, there is only one, which means that there is another Infinity Stone scattered outside. Only if we get these two Infinity Stones, we can go to Earth to collect the remaining three Infinity Stones!"
"Yes, father!"
"Yes! My Lord!"
The three Black Orders and Thor responded at the same time, and the group drove the spaceship away from Nidavellir. At the same time, Heimdall also transmitted the images he saw to the Dwarf King Etri, letting him know that if Asgard did not take in the Dwarves, the Dwarves would really be exterminated by Thanos.
After seeing the scene of Thanos descending on Nidavell, the dwarf king Eitri was extremely grateful to Heimdall. He also understood what Heimdall meant. However, no matter what the intention was, Asgard had no special purpose. At least Asgard had saved the dwarves and allowed them to have a safe place to reproduce. This was a great favor to the dwarves...
"The Cosmic Orb? A power that can destroy Xandar?" On the other side, Ronan also received the news from General Corvus Glaive. He frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "It's fine if you don't help me deal with Xandar, but you want to send me away with just one piece of news? And you want me to destroy half of the population of a planet?"
As Ronan spoke, his breath surged. He seemed to be unhappy, but in the end, Ronan sighed helplessly.
"Alas! Forget it. After all, my strength is not as good as that crazy Titan. Now I can only act according to his requirements. If the Cosmic Orb doesn't work, I can still ask them to do it..." (End of this chapter)
