737, an old friend of the Vormir Star

Originally docked in the Blue Watchers, the Guardians of the Galaxy ship became a ferry between the Blue Watchers and the planet Wommel, transporting superheroes from the Blue Watch to Wommel.

And when Goofy and the first batch of Doctor Strange and Wang who arrived on Wommel became familiar with the environment here, they directly turned on the space magic to open up the cabin of Wommel and the Blue Watcher, so that the superheroes could come here directly from the Blue Warden without hindrance.

The first to arrive was of course the Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord walked out of the spaceship and ran around like a headless fly, hoping to use his naked eyes to find Thanos and Gamora, but the raccoon was smarter, shook his head and said, "Don't waste your efforts, Quill, wait a while and let the other flying heroes find them." ”

Doctor Strange has always been cautious about Vormir, and he feels that death smells everywhere here.

Not only that, but as he got acquainted with it, he discovered that it had new qualities.

"Goofy, do you feel like this is a meeting point, a huge, complex meeting point?" Strange asked in a low voice.

"I also feel it." Goofy's knowledge of the occult is even deeper than that of Strange, so he has long sensed this trait, "This planet seems to be only orbiting in its orbit, but in fact it is not ......"

Strange nodded slightly, "It actually orbits around the multiverse, and it shuttles through one completely different but similar multiverse after another...... This is the intersection of the multiverse, where we may be able to peek into other universes. ”

At this time, Tony Stark happened to come back from wearing his suit, and after landing on the ground, he shook his head and said, "There is nothing in this area, bare, and there is no sign of life." ”

In the distance of light, Steve staggered out with Bucky in his arms.

Tony looked at Bucky, who was spitting his face green, with a disgusted expression, and asked Goofy, "Honestly, why are you carrying this burden?" What's the use of taking him other than causing trouble for us? ”

Goofy shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm going to take him, it's that he also wants to help, and he's worried that Steve is in danger and wants to protect him." ”

"He? Protect Steve? Tony didn't know how to complain, "Then beg God not to put Steve in any danger, or I'm afraid someone will die......"

And at this moment, Gao Fei suddenly sensed a strong surge of energy, and Thor, the god of thunder behind him, also noticed all this, and flew in front of everyone with a hammer and said, "Be careful! There is danger! ”

Rumble!

A thunderbolt fell, spreading along the surface into the distance, and Thor came up and put an AOE, the visual effects are cool, don't want it.

But there were no enemies on Vormir, just a thick purple fog drifting over.

"What is this? Don't tell me it's a gas bomb......" Tony whispered, quickly setting his helmet to gas mask mode.

Rocket Raccoon shouted, "What's the situation? What the hell is this? Goofy! Stop this poisonous mist! Stop it! Don't let it come near me! ”

Strange didn't wait for Gao Fei to make a move, his forearms touched lightly, shook the two golden roulette wheels on his palms, and then raised the index finger of his right middle finger and rotated forward, and gently recited the incantation with one finger, throwing out an energy barrier and pushing towards the dense fog in front of him.

Under his superb magic, the momentum of the purple fog was limited, but the surrounding fog quickly enveloped it again, quickly enveloping the superheroes in a circular range.

Skye raised her hand to release a shockwave that hummed the air around her, but she still couldn't dispel the fog, which was stubborn.

Goofy had been observing the fog on the planet Womir, and he suddenly realized that these fogs were similar to the ones he had seen in Hell, and before everyone was completely consumed by the fog, Goofy clenched his fists to summon Asgardian Divine Power, raised his right foot and stomped on the ground.

Rumble......

The earth of Vormir roared, the space shook, and the purple haze around it quickly retreated in all directions.

"Sure enough, the father of the gods has to take action......" Loki, who was standing in the crowd, said in a strange manner, "The great father of the gods is worthy of his name, and he is much more effective than a reckless king who can play with a hammer." ”

"Loki!" Thor's face turned purple, "Don't force me to beat you up in front of everyone!" ”

However, at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.

"Oh my God!"

Following the prestige, it was Skye who exclaimed.

"What's wrong Skye?" Steve asked curiously.

Skye pointed to the space behind the fog and said in surprise, "This is the ...... Where? ”

When the fog cleared, there was no longer the grassy lawn covered with pink grass that everyone had landed on before, but a narrow and gloomy valley, with towering mountains in the distance and a path behind it.

Steve Rogers was also dumbfounded: "This is not where we were before......"

Tony Stark took off the Iron Man gas mask on his head and teased in shock: "Goofy, your Asgardian divine power is a bit powerful...... With a stomp, we shifted our positions directly from the plains to the valley......"

Doctor Strange also asked Gao Fei curiously: "Gao Fei, did you take the initiative to use space magic?" ”

Goofy shook his head slightly: "No, I didn't do anything but dispel this thick fog, it was Vormir who changed his appearance......"

Before he could finish speaking, Heimdall reminded, "Father of the gods, someone is coming. ”

As the fog cleared in the distance, a tall figure appeared at the end of the valley, a scrawny figure in a tattered robe, holding a deadwood cane, floating in mid-air, like a ghost shuttling through the canyon.

"Is this guy a human or a ghost?" Bucky pointed to a figure not far away and asked Steve in a low voice, and Steve gave a reliable answer: "Neither, he should be...... Alien? ”

And just then, the figure began to speak.

"Oh, so many people come to this tiny planet? It was such a surprise to me...... Hey? Wait, I feel like I've seen my old friend. ”

"Old friends? Is this alien funny? Where do we have his old friends here? Rocket Raccoon squinted and said, "I guess he's getting close, so I think it's better to give him a shot first!" ”

Doctor Strange hurriedly stopped, "Don't be so impulsive, raccoon. ”

"Raccoon again? Can you earthlings once call me by my name - rockets! Lao Tzu is called a rocket! The raccoon roared angrily.

"Shh......h Little bunny, the Wommels are coming, don't shout yet......"

Thor, who was standing next to him, whispered, and rubbed the head of the rocket raccoon lovingly.

Rocket was completely helpless: "Little rabbit? Forget it...... I still like that name, why don't you call me a raccoon like that horse-faced earthling? ”

At the same time, the figures in the valley had approached the superheroes, and the light of the distant stars shone through the purple mist in the sky, reflecting the eerie face of the "Wommel" under the black cloak.

It was a skinny face, and the bones were earthlings, and the skin that wrapped the skull was red, which made the guy in front of him look like a red skeleton.

"Red Skull?!"

At this moment, Steve Rogers yelled in shock.

The "Wommel" in front of him is indeed a red skull, and this guy can be recognized even if he turns into ashes, because this guy is his biggest enemy during World War II, the leader of the Hydra!

"Hi Steve, my old friend, we're meeting again......" Red Skull's tone was kind, which made Steve feel creepy, because he and Red Skull had never been friends, and it was almost as if they were enemies.

Bucky, who was behind him, stepped forward in shock and asked in a low voice, "Steve, who do you say he is?" Who do you say this alien is? ”

"He's not an alien, he's a red skull, he's the red skull of Hydra! I know him, and you can't be wrong......" Steve said through gritted teeth.

What's more, the guy in front of him also called Steve's name, which shows that he is Captain America's old enemy.

The Red Skull floating in mid-air had no intention of hiding his identity from Steve from the beginning, which is why he called out Steve's name directly, but he was not familiar with Bucky Barnes, after all, this ordinary member of the Roaring Commando Team was not as well-known as Steve Rogers.

Seeing Steve and Bucky talking to each other together, Red Skull smiled lightly and asked, "Oh, what's wrong?" My old friend, do you want to bring the grudges on Earth to Vormir? Do you think...... Isn't the punishment I've received over the years enough? ”

Steve looked up at Red Skull in surprise and asked in a deep voice, "Red Skull, why are you here?" Why is it in a ...... On a strange planet in outer space? ”

"Huh...... What do you think? Steve, do you remember when we were separated? Red Skull didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Steve thought about it carefully, of course, he was now recalling his last meeting with Red Skull in the original timeline, not Goofy taking him back through the time machine to find Bucky's last meeting with Red Skull. Because in the later timeline, Red Skull was killed by Goofy and Steve teaming up.

In the original timeline, Steve and Red Skull finally competed for the Cosmic Cube on the plane of Hydra, but in the process of fighting, the Cosmic Cube suddenly released powerful energy, and the Red Skull disappeared into the energy at that time, and the Cosmic Cube scalded the steel plate of the plane and fell into the ocean......

"I remember you were wiped out by the light of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, you disappeared into that dazzling blue light, I thought you were dead, you were completely destroyed by the energy radiated from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube......," Steve said.

"Hehe, yes, that's what I actually thought that way." Red Skull said self-deprecatingly, "But that's not the case...... At that time, the Cosmic Cube opened the wormhole of spatial teleportation and exiled me from Earth to this strange and mysterious planet, and I was chosen by a mysterious being who could not be spied on, and he took a fancy to me because of my obsession with the Infinity Stones......"

"What?" Steve was amazed, "Somehow undetectable...... Mysterious existence? ”

Speaking of which, Steve looked back at Goofy suspiciously, was he asking Goofy for help - was the Red Skull telling the truth, or was he?

A mysterious existence that can't be spied on? What's that?

Goofy nodded lightly to Steve, in response to this, but in fact, Red Skull's description coincided with his and Strange's speculation, and this planet was indeed a mysterious and dangerous planet. And it is a higher ideology that controls this planet, and it is far above the Red Skull and Thanos.

At this time, the Red Skull continued: "Ever since I was sent to the planet Vomir, I have been in a state of half-dead, I am not dead, but I am not alive, I am between life and death, there is no emotion, no mood, no anger......"

"I used to be so attached to the Infinity Stones, I used to want to have its power, I wanted to rule the whole world, even to the universe......"

"But now the Infinity Stones are all around me, but I can never have it, I'm just a guide, just a pointless prop man."

Hearing this, Steve and Bucky probably understood the current situation of this "old friend", who was exiled to the planet Vormir and deprived of his original feelings, which was simply a never-ending life sentence.

Such a sentence seems to be more cruel than killing him outright, or punishing him with the laws of the earth, which is beyond the limits of human imagination and beyond the scope of human ability.

Before Steve could continue to communicate with his old friend, Star-Lord rushed over impatiently.

"Hey, Skull, you said you were the leader of the Infinity Stones of the Vormir Star, so what you are guarding is the Soul Gems, right?"

The Red Skull nodded slightly: "Yes, what I am guarding is indeed the Soul Gem, and it is the most important of the six Infinity Stones......"

"So have you seen Thanos? You know Thanos, right? It's a purple Titan, very ugly......" Star-Lord asked, "and he's accompanied by a beautiful woman, a very beautiful green-skinned beauty, have you seen them?" See? ”

The Red Skull didn't hide any information, he nodded lightly and said, "See, they came here not long ago, Thanos came here for the Infinity Stones, he has a very strong determination." ”

"And where are they now?" Star-Lord asked aloud, "Thanos and Gamora, where are they now?" ”

The red skull didn't speak this time, but gestured towards the dense fog in the distanceβ€”and then the purple fog suddenly condensed, gradually forming a purple curtain.

On the curtain, the image of Thanos and Gamora appeared, the two of them had just arrived in this valley and had just seen the red skull standing at the entrance of the valley.

"I'm here to find the Soul Gem." Thanos got straight to the point and said, "Give me the Soul Gem." ”

The red skull stretched out his hand to the top of the mountain and instructed, "So...... Please come with me. ”

Led by the Red Skull, Thanos and Gamora walked to the top of the mountain, but this is a cliff, and there is no trace of the Infinity Stones, Thanos is a little angry, and turns back to ask the Red Skull: "Where are the soul gems?" There is nothing I want here. ”

The Red Skull said calmly, "The Soul Gem is right in front of your eyes, but it doesn't appear because it's testing your sincerity......"

"Sincerity?" Thanos narrowed his eyes, "This doesn't need to be tested at all, I have enough sincerity to take the soul gem." ”

"Oh? Really? Red Skull asked rhetorically, "Then now is the time for you to prove yourself - do you see the cliff in front of you?" Throw the person you care about the most from here and sacrifice his/her life to get the Soul Gem......"

"What?!" Thanos' small eyes shrank sharply, and he looked back at Gamora in surprise.

After hearing this, Gamora couldn't hide her laughter: "Hahaha...... What an irony, sacrificing the people he cares about the most? Thanos doesn't care about anyone at all, the only person he cares about is himself...... Do you want him to sacrifice himself? ”

While Gamora laughed at Thanos, Thanos looked at Gamora without saying a word, his expression was very complicated, and his rough facial features gradually distorted.

The Red Skull standing on the side had already penetrated Thanos's heart, and he looked at Gamora, who knew nothing, and shook his head and sighed softly.

At that moment, Thanos strode towards Gamora, his resolve as firm as he had said.

"I'm sorry, little one, I have to get this gem, I have to save the universe from the catastrophe of population explosion......"

With that, he reached out and grabbed Gamora's wrist with his large hand, and gently lifted her up.

Gamora looked at Thanos in shock, a pair of long legs kicking helplessly in the air.

And outside the curtain, Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon were also shocked when they saw this scene, they didn't expect that Thanos really cared about someone, this person was Gamora; They didn't even expect that Thanos would actually sacrifice Gamora for the soul gem!

"Don't ...... Don't ......," Nebula shouted as she shuddered as she rushed into the purple fog to save Gamora.

Star-Lord completely exploded and shouted, "Thanos! Don't you dare! How dare you hurt Gamora! I want your dog's life!! ”

Unfortunately, in the next second, Thanos threw Gamora off the cliff without hesitation, and Gamora's screams filled the entire Vormir star, while Thanos turned back in grief.

Tears slid down the corners of his eyes and slid down his rough, furrowed skin......

At the same time, the entire planet of Vormir is enveloped in a purple fog, including Thanos in the image, including Goofy and other superheroes who recall this terrible sacrifice.

"Gamora! Gamora !! ”

Star-Lord's roar echoed through the fog, accompanied by the sobs of Nebula and Mantis Girl.

Strange then asked Goofy in a loud voice, "Goofy, what's going on with this fog?" Can you make the fog clear? ”

"Yes."

Goofy in the dense fog responded, condensing Asgard's divine power again and stomping on the ground with his right foot.

Rumble!

This time, the surrounding fog quickly dispersed, revealing the environment in which everyone was located.

But this time, when the fog cleared, everyone found that their position had changed strangely - this was no longer the valley where the Red Skull had spoken to them before, but a sandy beach, with shallow water under everyone's feet and a plain in the distance.

"This planet...... It's really weird. Tony Stark frowned.

Star-Lord still hadn't recovered from the loss of his beloved, and fired two shots into the sky and shouted, "Thanos! I'll kill you! ”

And just as Star-Lord shouted these words, a low grunt suddenly came from the plain in the distance.

"Humph!"

Star-Lord looked in shock, only to see a huge figure appear in the darkness where the purple fog had dissipated.

The huge figure was as burly as a mountain, and there were four bright lights on the back of the right hand that flickered in the darkness.

It was Thanos and his four Infinity Stones, and he hadn't had time to leave the planet Vormir yet.

The blue glow is the Jewel of Space - Thanos took it from the hands of the Invisible Woman of the Baxter Building;

The yellow is the Mind Gem – from the storeroom of the Stark Building in New York;

The purple is the Power Gem - originally guarded by the Nova Legion of Xander, but brutally plundered by the vanguard sent by Thanos;

In the end, the orange glow was the soul gem - Thanos sacrificed his favorite daughter Gamora in exchange for it.

At this time, Thanos stood on the plains, his eyes swept to this group of superheroes from Earth on the beach, he knew that as long as he eliminated these people, his plan could be realized.

Snapping his fingers to wipe out half of the life in the universe and restore the balance of life to normal again, this is the concept he has pursued all his life, and it is also what he must do.

"Gamora, Daddy won't let you die in vain......"

Thanos raised his right hand and gently kissed the orange soul gem that Gamora had exchanged, as he walked towards the superheroes, knowing that this battle was inevitable.

And Star-Lord had already rushed towards Thanos, and his sanity was gone at this time.

"Ahh!!hh Thanos, I'm going to kill you!! ”

Star-Lord, who roared loudly, fired at Thanos in succession, and the dazzling beams of energy illuminated the otherwise gloomy environment of the planet Wommir.

The Guardians of the Galaxy also followed after Star-Lord's charge, and Rocket Raccoon, Drax the Destroyer, and Nebula rushed towards Thanos.

"I'm going to rip your chest open! Rip out your heart! Thanos! Drax roared, the dagger in his hand gleaming with cold light.

Rocket Raccoon fired from a distance, roaring loudly, "For Groot!! ”

Unfortunately, the Guardians of the Galaxy attack did little damage to Thanos, and Thanos didn't even have the intention of dodging Star-Lord's fire, so he rushed to Star-Lord with his fire, and raised his foot to kick him in the chest.

"Gamora actually has a crush on you?!"

Boom!

Star-Lord's body was kicked out like a cannonball, and it flew dozens of meters before he landed on the ground, and when he got up again, his mouth was covered in blood, but he still struggled to launch a second charge.

Drax, who has more combat power and combat experience than Star-Lord, goes around Thanos and stabs him in the back by jumping on Thanos' back.

It's a pity that Thanos's reflexes are very fast, and he immediately rolled forward and threw Drax off, he grabbed Drax's neck and threw it hard, and Drax was immediately thrown out by him, and just hit the little raccoon who was firing the cannon.

Seeing that all his comrades-in-arms were rushing into the street, Xingyun, who rushed halfway, hesitated.

Thanos looked back at Nebula and sneered, "What's wrong?" My dear daughter, are you coming to Daddy? I'm giving you a chance to choose again – whether to stand up to me with them, or to go back to Daddy's side and do the right thing together, eh? ”
