While talking, Thanos intentionally or unintentionally displays the orange gem on top of the glove, the Soul Stone.

Sure enough, Thanos sacrificed Gamora precisely to obtain the fifth Infinity Stone.

"My name is still Verna, but I'm not a High Priest anymore." The Spectre Phantom spat out, "I was drawn here by the Infinity Stones, and I waited too long to wait for the owner of a Soul Gem. ”

"Finally, I can break free." Her legs, gradually poking out of her cloak, stepped onto the ground. "I can finally get revenge on Ayesha..."

Sovereign, named Verna, removed her cloak and hat.

After Thanos obtained the Soul Stone, she also returned to her normal state.

"In order to obtain the Soul Gem, you sacrificed your beloved, your daughter Gamora." Verna looked at Thanos curiously, "Why are you willing to do this?" What is all this for? ”

Thanos was silent, just staring blankly at his five Infinity Stones.

"Once, there were other people who came here to see the true face of the soul gem and to gain supreme power." "But they all stopped at the end. Some people don't have a favorite at all, while some adventurers can't bear to sacrifice their favorites. ”

"—Only you, the great Titan, Sanos, only you succeeded."

All this is contrary to the inherent impression of Thanos in Royan's mind.

Thanos's tears were shed for Gamora.

Even Luo Yang was slightly moved.

Of the children he adopted, none more trusted and loved him than Gamora.

At the same time, Thanos decisively and directly sacrificed her... Just to collect Infinity Stones.

"Son of Atlas... The great Sanos. ”

Verna took a step towards Thanos, almost clinging to him.

The Sovereign man, who was nearly two meters tall, took off his cloak and revealed a sexy tattered robe, and said leisurely in Thanos' ear:

"I want to have a child with you, a special man, who belongs to us."

"—if it's a boy, it's called Sain."

“... If it's a girl, then her name is Ayesha..."

"Isn't Ayesha your enemy?" Thanos whispered.

"Ayesha is my adopted daughter, my favorite disciple, my heart... But she betrayed me..."

Thanos clenched his left fist, and the blue space gem above the Infinity Gauntlet shone brightly: "Mad woman, you better go back to your Sovereign." ”

"No... Thanos... Don't..."

Within half a second, Verna's body was completely surrounded by a spatial rift. At the same time that the spatial rift atomized and disappeared, Verna disappeared.

Only a puddle of worn-out black cloaks remained on the ground.

Thanos looked up and glanced at the dead Black Swan, as well as the Blade of Death and Proxima Centauri in the Night, which had become sculptures.

"The black swan is dead. Supergiants and black dwarfs also lost their lives. He spat out indifferently, "So... My eldest child, Ebony Throat, is he still alive? ”

"He's dead." Luo Yang replied dryly.

"Sure enough." Thanos simply nodded.

At the top of the cliff, the two people who were silently facing each other fell into silence.

The biting cold wind that blew from nowhere whistled past, blowing up Luo Yang's cloak and golden-brown hair.

"I don't want to stay here." Thanos spat out, "I'm waiting for you in the maelstrom of the Borderlands, Purifier. ”

With that, Thanos activated the Space Gem and teleported away from Vormir.

Royan didn't follow in Thanos' footsteps and go to the Borderlands...

He walked to the edge of the cliff and stood on the top spot, staring at the bottom altar.

Gamora's body still maintains its inherent posture.

On the edge of the cliff...

A purple crystal, pierced with a faint glow in the dim sunlight.

It was a dagger, a long-bladed serrated dagger made of Taba crystal. The handguards and handles are made of special metal.

Thanos, put this dagger, on the edge of the cliff.

To honor Gamora?

While thinking about it, Luo Yang opened the teleportation circle and teleported to the Borderlands!

In his sea of consciousness, most of the important coordinates in the galaxy have already been imported, including the borderlands.

After all, the Borderlands were the territory where Ares had been banished.

... After a few seconds.

Luo Yang came to this dark and starless, empty and lonely borderless land alone.

It's a corner of the galaxy that's as dirty and chaotic as ignorance.

The Borderlands is made up of three asteroid blocks connected by massive mechanical bridges.

Each asteroid block has a surface area of at least 200,000 square kilometers.

The last time I came to the Borderlands was when I banished Hela with Strange.

Hela, the Grim Reaper who once soared and roamed the Nine Realms, is being banished beneath the Borderlands, floating in space, unable to survive or die.

The Maelstrom mentioned by Thanos is located in the central core of the Borderlands.

The Maelstrom was originally a crystal mining area.

After the end of mining, the entire mine subsided, creating an eerie landscape that resembled a whirlpool.

This is also the most famous 'attraction' in the Borderlands.

The location where Royan teleported was near the Maelstrom of the Borderlands.

It's only two kilometers on foot.

Royan removed the Scepter of the End from his waist.

Under Royan's control, the scepter was reduced to one-fifth of its original length.

Now it feels like a lightsaber hilt from Star Wars.

Using the scepter, Royan probed the basic surface situation within a radius of 1,000 kilometers.

In the vicinity of the maelstrom, deserted.

Only a few hundred kilometers away can barely sense some of the breath of life.

After Luo Yang put away the scepter, he quickly flew up and came to the sky above the maelstrom.

Thanos, who actually sat on the top of the maelstrom, like spectators in the arena, sat on the stone steps, quietly admiring the center of the maelstrom.

Royan is completely confused right now. What is purple sweet potato essence doing? Why did you get deeper?

The original hunger and thirst for war have also been extinguished.

He flew down behind Thanos and held the Purification Blade in his hand.

Rise.

After Luo Yang landed, he injected psionic energy into the Holy Blade, causing the weapon to glow with blue light.

The Holy Blade Cold Blade pointed at Thanos and approached him step by step!

Thanos just smiled slightly, and then used the space gem to find a spear from the space.

The top of this spear danced with a beautiful purple light.

A weapon crafted from Tabber Crystal!

"Purifier. If we go to war here, the wonder of the maelstrom will disappear in an instant. Thanos said indifferently.

"Isn't that the one you chose this place as a battlefield?"

"No, I'm just letting you witness it." Thanos turned his head.

He had removed his gold armor and was only wearing rough leather pants and a purple vest.

His skin was lilac, which made his bald head look a bit funny.

However, Sanos, known as the 'Overlord of the World', exudes the cold and domineering spirit of the king all over his body, which makes people shudder!

"This place, like my hometown, is a ruin left behind by the exploitation of civilized races." Thanos said with the 3-meter-long crystal spear that lit the center of the maelstrom.

In the center of the maelstrom, there are still four or five discarded crystal excavators, which are somewhat similar to the Terran peasant mecha SCV in the stars.
