1. An unknown premonition

Previous Chapter

In the vastness of the universe, a brightly colored spaceship flies on a rampage.

The loud music was turned up to the loudest with the unexplained language, which raised the atmosphere inside the ship to the highest level.

"Oooh! Behold, what is that ahead? A cargo ship! Rush on, little ones! ”

The captain's orders highlight their vocation. A group of cosmic pirates.

But as they got closer, the bandits of the various races in this universe sensed that something was wrong.

"Captain, it's too quiet. Like a ......"

"Ghost ship, huh?" Taking a sip of the wine in his hand, the 300-year-old Dorama pirate stared out the window at the ship that was quietly moving normally.

"Retreat, good boys. There are quirks in this ship. ”

"But Captain! You see, it's fully loaded. We can make a lot of money without any effort! ”

"Yes, Captain! Have we seen less ghost ships? Put on protective clothing and bring weapons, we are not afraid of any plague and unknown monsters! ”

Greed is always the essence of piracy, even pirates in the universe still follow their greedy hearts.

The captain had not wanted to go up and make a fortune, but an old thief like him, who had lived so long, was cautious and relied on the almost prophetic perception of the Doramar people.

"Boys, my tentacles told me not to go up. Now tell me, do you still want to go up? It's dangerous, because I haven't felt pain like I have in 300 years, but I'm sure there won't be death. Choose, on? Still not on? ”

The old captain's confession made the pirates hesitate, why could an old, greedy, and miserly guy still be a captain now? Isn't it because of his perception of danger?

"Let's get on, Captain." A bizarre creature made of stone patchwork offers its opinion.

"Guri clams, my heir. Now that you've decided, take them aboard! ”

"Yes, Captain."

The pirates wore protective suits sufficient to protect against any disease, and held in their hands energy weapons that had been looted from a looted Star Spirit ship. Cautiously entered the cargo ship.

Darkness, silence, no smell of blood, no putrid smell of corpses, not even a hint of life.

They are silent and communicate through gestures. It's hard to imagine that this is a bunch of pirates. More like the elite troops of the Human Empire.

They separated, partly to the cabin, and partly to the wheelhouse.

And in the empty cargo ship hall, everyone was gathered here. They are separated, half on the left and half on the right.

"Huh? Someone's coming. The ship's docking vibration interrupted the strategist who was about to speak, and he looked at his master, waiting for a new order.

"Let the Dead Blade General and Proxima Centauri in the Night go and bring them here."

The tall, ugly purple sweet potato sat on a huge chair and waved his hand to let his men go down to greet the new guests.

The husband and wife leaders set out with a team of fighters to find the little flies on board.

"Counselor, wait and then proclaim my will."

"Yes, my great master."

"Supergiant, have you all had the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones?"

"Master, now you have found the whereabouts of power, time, space. Including the Soul Gem that is now in your hands, only the Soul Gem and the Reality Gem are gone. ”

"Hasn't the Camorra found the Soul Gem yet?"

"I'm afraid yes, or maybe the little princess didn't have the idea to find it."

"Hmm... In that case, let's wait. It's not time yet, it's not time yet......"

――――

"Hey! The air here is normal, and there are no germs. Why are we still wearing this heavy protective suit? ”

"To be safe!"

"But boss, this dress is too much of a nuisance, isn't it?"

"Have you forgotten those aliens? Or do you want to have an intimate kiss with a facehug? ”

"Oh, don't tease me, boss. If this ship wears those things. Then this place will be dirty and stinking to death! ”

"Well, there are so many unknowns in the universe. There's never a mistake with prudence. ”

"......"

"Little thing, your team leader is right. In the universe, caution is always paramount. ”

The pirates' complaints were not over, when a somber voice interrupted them.

"Who?" The pirate captain looked at the enemy who had surrounded them for some unknown time, and the astral weapon gave him confidence, but when he saw the enemy's face, he smiled bitterly.

He put down his weapon, looked back and said, "Children, put down your weapon." ”

"Why! We're about the same number as them, and we can break through and get back to our own boat! ”

"You're so naΓ―ve, Guri Clam. In the face of them, even if you break through. We can't escape. ”

The first mate of the heir wanted to say something, but the spear had already pierced his body.

The tall strange man whispered in his ear, "You should follow the advice of the elders, child. You'll at least survive that way, won't you? ”

Seeing that the first mate was killed, the pirates who didn't want to follow the old captain anymore attacked. But in the end?

Only the old captain, who had been tied up from the beginning, was left.

"You're good, but it's a pity you're too old. Otherwise I can at least recommend you to follow my master. ”

"I am willing to obey your orders."

"Let's go."

The husband and wife were brought together, and all the pirates who were still alive were brought into the hall. A pirate regiment of a few dozen people left only five people. They silently followed behind their old captain.

"You are so rude to a respectful elder. The Dorama Planets. I remember you. A race of longevity and not extraordinary. ”

"That was once upon a time, honorable Mr. Thanos. My people, my country, my planet. It's all gone in the heat of your rage......"

"It's a pity for me, I wanted you to follow in my footsteps."

"We are willing to follow a cosmic overlord, but we are not willing to pay for half the lives of our people."

"In the end, you gave it your all. You're the only one left to survive. Isn't it? ”

"yes...... Our revolt is nothing to mention in front of you. ”

"Alright, it's time to catch up. Take your child to the choosing. ”

"Is it your balance again? Oh, let's go, kids, let's go to the left. ”

"May fate visit you again, Elder."

Seeing that his master and captives were finished mingling, Ebony Roar began to preach Thanos' argument of cosmic balance. There was a commotion in the crowd, and the conclusion that was absurd in the eyes of mortals was unconvincing. But they can't stop what is coming.

"Let's get started. Your pathetic life is about to be sublimated! ”

With Ebony Roar's order, the captives on the left were slaughtered. The people of Dorama who had escaped death died with a smile of relief.

"What a miserable life, he was liberated. My master. ”

"Ah, he reminds me of the recklessness I used to be. Dorama, this ancient and magical race is completely gone today. ”

"yes, he's on the wrong side this time......"

Rumble! The huge impact directly opened a hole in the spaceship.

The hole opened too suddenly, and the huge suction force sucked many of the fighters out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just felt the taste of the food here. I didn't mean to make a hole in your boat. Oh, your men have been sucked out, and I'll help you bring them back. ”

The black chains flew out of the gap in the smoke, and then brought back the warriors who had flown out.

"I'm sorry, uh, your soldier died." The pretty and lively female voice calmly tells the fault of her inadvertent murder of life. Then her voice became low and terrifying, "So they can be my appetite?" Mortal. ”

The smoke cleared, and the giant demon stood there. She shook her hand, and all the living saw it, and the souls of the dead were pulled out of their bodies. One by one, these souls were swallowed by the black mist behind the demon, and in that mist, countless souls were wailing in pain.

"Who are you?"

"Me? A traveler looking for his way home. You can call me Soul Collector, or my name. Dora ......"
