499 Thanos' True Thoughts
As soon as Luo Wei raised his hand, the overwhelming flames surged, and in the blink of an eye, he enveloped the dozens of half-human and half-bird wanderers.
"Whew-" There was only a howl, and most of the beasts turned into corpses and fell to the ground, leaving only one to be captured by Luo Weisheng.
Looking at the wanderer who, though humanoid but biting and roaring, was no different from a beast, Rowe couldn't help but frown.
Generally speaking, humanoids are mostly intelligent life, especially humanoids with the ability to walk upright.
However, the wanderer in front of him, although he looks like a humanoid creature, only knows how to fight, and seems to have almost no sense of fear of death, so he shows that he is a low-level existence even among beasts, and it really doesn't look like the performance that a humanoid creature should have.
Rowe looked around again, and there were many of these blue creatures around, some of them frantically breeding offspring.
He saw with his own eyes that a wanderer with a bulging belly gave birth to a dozen cubs in one go.
These cubs rush out of the mother's birthway and are ready to walk and eat almost immediately, and they are not taboo in meat and vegetarians, and they can eat both grass and carcasses, whether they are fishy or smelly, and their mouths are full of meat.
Not only that, but they don't even spare the corpses of their kind, which can be said to be something that only others can't think of, and they can't do without them.
With no Asgardian forces on the planet and a sheer number of wanderers, the defenders have long since been routed, and the corpses of the soldiers and the surrounding plants have been reduced to a feast for the beasts.
Rowe flew towards the blue beasts, driving the blazing flames. In a few moments he burned all the wanderers who had gathered there, leaving a scorched corpse in his wake.
While burning, he asked Heimdall, "Heimdall, how often can this creature reproduce?" ”
"They only have a gestation period of about seven days and can produce about ten offspring at a time, while newborn cubs only need a month to reproduce again." Heimdall said in a serious tone.
"The super reproductive ability has caused the number of wanderers to grow dramatically, and a dozen wanderers only need a few months of expansion to destroy a mortal civilization......"
Luo Wei asked again, "Is there no clue to the origin of the wanderer?" ”
Heimdall: "There's no clue, so to speak, no one knows where Thanos found this ferocious species and used it for himself. ”
"Loki has tried to search the memories of the Wanderer, but the Wanderer is a complete inferior beast with no mind to speak of, and Loki has found nothing but chaos."
After a pause, he continued, "There are already hundreds of planets where there are traces of wanderers, and this creature is spreading from one planet to another like a plague. I can already foresee that they will be our biggest headache in the future. ”
In fact, as Heimdall said, these invincible loiters soon became the most troublesome enemies of the anti-Thanos coalition.
Even in one-on-one combat, the ferocious wanderers are stronger than most mortals, not to mention their unmatched numerical superiority.
Only elite troops such as Protoss warriors or marauder legions can effectively fight the Wanderers, but their numbers are limited and they are stretched.
Faced with an exponentially growing army of wanderers spreading across the stars, the coalition forces quickly lost sight of one over the other, destroying hundreds of mortal civilizations.
Luo Wei asked Asgard to increase his troops several times, but Odin just didn't agree, and finally couldn't stand Thor's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so Odin finally relented, and reluctantly sent a thousand more Protoss warriors to ease the situation slightly.
Even so, the originally good tide of battle was changed by the appearance of the Wanderer, and Thanos's side regained its strength and continued its expansion plans.
The Kree were also stained, beating the Skrulls to the point of losing their armor, leaving only the Kree Empire from the once three major technological empires, and the expansionist ambitions represented by Ronan the Accuser swelled rapidly.
While the coalition forces are struggling to deal with the wanderers, they are also trying to find out where the wanderers come from in order to find a way to deal with them......
Thanos' battleship USS Temple.
Although the Dark Quadrant is the core area of Thanos' legion, in fact, Thanos is more likely to appear in his temple ships, which seems to be a habit he left over from his time as an interstellar pirate.
At this moment, in the huge temple, Thanos and several of his right-hand men are entertaining an important ally.
"Igo, these wanderers you have created are simply the ultimate in life, reproduction, selfishness, competition, expansion...... The environment can be consumed in a very short period of time and then destroyed with it. ”
Thanos looked at the long-haired man in front of him and said slowly in a deep voice, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was making a small joke.
From the perspective of ordinary people, what he said is obviously not a good word, but Igo is undoubtedly not a person who pays attention to truth, goodness and beauty.
After a few words of conversation, Iago said, "We can put Wanderers on more planets, so that the Asgardians will find it more difficult to deal with, and maybe in a few years they will throw in the towel, what do you think, Sanos?" ”
"Nope." Thanos said without hesitation, "That's just right, more words may cause Asgard to continue reinforcements, and even alarm Odin and the Rainbow Bridge." ”
Hearing the Rainbow Bridge, Igo couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
There was no doubt that as a living planet, what he feared most was Asgard's Starburst Artifact Rainbow Bridge, and he instinctively felt a little palpitations at the mention of it.
If he hadn't been afraid of the Rainbow Bridge, he wouldn't have been hiding behind the scenes and doing things with the Wanderers.
So after a little thought, Igo agreed with Thanos.
Igo left the Templar spaceship, and then Commander Zetari looked at Thanos: "Master, I don't think it is possible for Odin to make a move, he is already dying of old age, and he has no trace of fighting spirit, if it weren't for that warlike sun god, Asgard wouldn't have fought us to this day." ”
"Maybe." Thanos was noncommittal, stood up and looked out the window at the galaxy, silent.
At this time, the supergiant said, "Are you worried that the resources of the universe will be overconsumed by the wanderers?" ”
Thanos didn't answer.
Obviously, supergiants know Thanos better than others. But even the supergiant didn't really understand the inner thoughts of the director of the Universe Family Planning Office.
Thanos really doesn't want the wanderers to spread endlessly, crowding out the living space of other life.
But deep down in his heart, the concern for the future survival status of other species is actually not so important, or even dispensable.
What Thanos really cares about is whether his ideas are recognized, and the wanderers, as a group of beasts, naturally don't care about approval.
