Chapter 421: Death Star
Vormier, a moon on the edge of the Cree system, was the last planet to be developed in the entire galaxy, but it was once the jewel of the Cree family.
Once upon a time, the air was full of oxygen, so the vegetation was dense, the fauna was abundant, and the geography was diverse, making the planet one of the most habitable planets for the Cree people.
That all changed after one night, though.
It was a clear night, and a large number of stars could be seen in the sky, and among them, one of them was getting bigger and bigger, and even began to fall to the ground on fire, and it was a meteorite.
The meteorite was not very large, and when it landed under the highest cliff of the Vormir Star, there was no remnant of it, and of course, what the Kree didn't know was that these were just things that had fallen from outer space and didn't want them to find them.
It was an orange gem that had fallen from space onto the planet Volmir and then dived deep into the ground, and had swept away all traces of it, and strangely enough, the technology of the Kree had not been able to find the slightest trace of it.
Just because there are no traces doesn't mean the gem is harmless, and from that day on, all the creatures on Volmir began to fall into the shadow of death.
The first to react were plants and animals, with a large number of young animals dying in large numbers, plant fruits beginning to fail to germinate, and even adult individuals showing senescence and wilting.
It is both fortunate and unfortunate that the Kree have a much better physique than the protists of the Vormir planet, fortunately they have more time to escape the planet, and unfortunately, they are completely unaware of this.
Like flora and fauna, the first to be affected by the changes were the Cree children, and the large number of sick children made them think that they were infected with some virus, but no medical equipment could detect this non-existent virus, but fortunately, the Cree found that the nutrient solution could slow down the phenomenon, but it also made them miss another chance to escape.
Finally, when some physically weak adults also collapsed, they realized that something was wrong, but even at this time, their first thought was to call the home planet for help.
A week later, the rescue fleet of the home planet arrived on Volmir, however, it had become a "death star", a planet full of dead people, all living things had died, even the ships that arrived here one after another were not spared, and the fleet commander was fortunate to witness this anomaly, because the landing force he sent was not spared, and even these brave and fearless Cree soldiers died just half of the landing, and just walked and walked, and then fell to the ground and died without a sound or warning.
Fortunately, the fleet commander was a clever Cree, and decisively instigated and gave the order to retreat, and then, in combination with his report and the actual situation of Volmir, the place was completely abandoned, leaving only the title of a dead planet.
"My lord, do you really want to go down?" After telling the history of Vormir, Ebony Throat asked with some hesitation, they are now outside the atmosphere of this legendary Death Star.
"What, you doubt my strength?"
"No... However, judging from this history, they are catching up with the rampage of the soul gem, and no one knows the reason, although a hundred years have passed, no one knows if the gem has stabilized. Ebony Throat still admonished dutifully.
"Hmph, it's come to this point, it's impossible for me to give up." Thanos clenched his fist with the Infinity Gauntlet, "Moreover, I have this, it can suppress the energy of the stable Infinity Stones, plus the energy of the three Infinity Stones, and it will be fine." ”
“... Alright, my lord, then I'll go down with you. ”
"No, you don't have the Infinity Gauntlets on you, so it's better to stay here honestly." Thanos is actually a little weak-hearted, the story just now is a bit too terrifying, silently killing life on a planet, the soul gem is worthy of the core of the Infinity Stone, however, this also strengthens his determination to get it, even if he can't get other gems, this one alone can make him invincible.
Thanos slowly fell to the surface of Volmil on a solo spaceship, and in the process he also checked his physical condition at all times to prevent accidents, except for the story just now, no one knows what the true ability of the soul gem is, so he doesn't want to rush to land directly on the ground with the space gem.
The spaceship finally landed on the surface of the planet, the hatch opened, Thanos let out a sigh of relief, and stepped on it, he looked at himself suspiciously, and then at the Infinity Gauntlet, and there was no strange feeling.
Call!
Just when he was relieved, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and he threw a punch, piercing a hole in the figure, but he didn't feel any resistance in his fist.
"Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to hurt you, and of course, you can't hurt me."
"Yes, the last person who was so confident was already lying on the cold ground, do you want to try it too?" Thanos withdrew his fist and replied coldly, in front of him was a man floating in the air wearing a black robe, the gender was not clear, because there was only a red skull on his exposed head.
"Try it, haha, don't be funny, I've tried many times." Red Skull skimmed the Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos' hand and smiled, "Your confidence comes from it, it may really work, but I'm afraid you're not in the mood to use it against me right now." ”
"Do you know what I'm here for?" Thanos raised his vigilance.
"Hehe, it's all for the same thing, so it's not hard to guess." Red Skull smiled, and turned to float in one direction without thinking, "Come along." ”
After a moment's hesitation, Thanos still followed, although this yin and yang weird red skull is not so trusted, but it may be the only person on the planet who can communicate, so there is no harm in following up, and he has the Infinity Stones with him, and there is no need to be afraid of any conspiracy.
"Since everyone who comes here is here for the same thing, what about you?" Thanos followed behind the Red Skull towards a bare stone mountain, and asked as he wanted to get more information.
"Me? I'm different, I'm just a poor homeless wretch. "I was in the midst of a holy war in my hometown, and just as I was about to succeed, a gang of dastardly people attacked me, and their leader teleported me here with a treasure, and then, I became like this. ”
"What's your name?"
"Name? That stuff doesn't make much sense, you can just call me Red Skull. ”
