Chapter 393: The Infinity Stones Reappear

For a standard cooperation, the relationship between the two parties depends mainly on two aspects. The first is www.biquge.info the gap in strength between the two sides, and the second is the urgency of the two sides' needs for a certain goal in the cooperation plan. As far as the current cooperation between Loki and Thanos is concerned, the latter naturally has much stronger strength than Loki. That's all-round suppression, and maybe even if Loki counts the whole of Asgard, he can't change the situation, not to mention that Thanos still holds the secret that Loki pretends to be Odin, which will make him the enemy of Asgard. So theoretically, Loki should be completely passive in this collaboration. That's what Loki himself thought before—until now, he could see that Thanos was more urgent than he was. In other words, Thanos's commitment to this partnership is higher than he imagined, more than he can be.

In this way, Loki is not in a hurry.

"Your performance tells me that the Cosmic Cube is not just a treasure with the ability to open space, it should have more effects, or have a more far-reaching meaning." He no longer looked up at Thanos, but looked ahead very casually, and said lightly, "And that scepter is ...... Or rather, the jewel inside that scepter? ”

As soon as Loki finished speaking, Thanos' half-squinted eyes suddenly opened completely, giving people the feeling that the beast had just woken up and suddenly had a divine light exposed.

"Did you know there was a gem inside that scepter?" Thanos seemed to ask casually, "With your abilities, it seems to be a little bit less meaningful." Who told you that? ”

It's Thor. After working with Heimdall to force Zorro to Asgard, Thor met with Odin and told him about what he had heard from Gamora, including the presence of a gem in the scepter. But right now, Loki didn't plan to confess Gamora, the guy who betrayed Thanos.

As a person with "lofty ideals", how can you not leave a hand? Rather than putting Gamora directly under Thanos' "radar", maybe Gamora can play an important role when Loki needs to deal with Thanos one day in the future!

"How can I say it, as the god king of Asgard, there are still more sources than ordinary people." Loki looks casual on the surface, but in fact he is playing with Thanos.

For Loki's pretentious posture, Thanos didn't care either. On the contrary, it was what the other party said that made him unconsciously show a strange smile.

"Perhaps, but too much is limited." Thanos said, "Now that you have reached this position, since you have become accustomed to putting yourself above the 'average man', you can no longer be measured by the average man's mind. Asgard may have a wide enough intelligence network, but there are some things that cannot be found out at the average level. If that intelligence network is really as powerful as you say, you won't have to ask me for the gems and the peculiarities of them. ”

Loki is naturally not angry about Thanos' tone and attitude towards himself with a lesson for his juniors. Of course, he also knew that he currently had a certain gap with the other party, and just like the other party needed the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that was already in his hands and the scepter that was not yet in his hand, he also wanted something from the other party. It's just a little buried, and he can endure it.

"Then, Sanos, maybe you can tell me what makes them special...... please? ”

Thanos nodded. He was pleased with Loki's attitude.

"You're smart, kid." "For what you want to know, it was once in your head. In fact, I told you about it the last time we worked together. ”

Thanos naturally has no need to lie about this kind of thing. But Loki's brows furrowed - even if Thanos said so, he didn't have the slightest impression.

Then his face became even more ugly: "Let's assume that you didn't lie to me...... So you mean that someone erased my memories without me knowing? I don't think this person can be you! ”

In fact, Loki's first suspicion was a mutant, and it was Dr. X Charles Xavier. It was only then that he remembered that the group of mutants represented by Professor X seemed to have suffered some kind of change and had not shown up for a long time. He also confirmed this in Solna. In addition, he did not come up with the possibility that Professor X had contact with him and targeted him, and the possibility of his memories being modified was preliminarily ruled out. Most crucially, he didn't find any gaps or misplaced memories in his memory. Therefore, even if he knew that Thanos did not need to lie to him, he would still be skeptical.

"Naturally, it's not me." Thanos said lightly, "I don't know who it is, but there aren't many lives that meet this condition, and there are none of the ones I know." However, this being must have a high level of proficiency in dealing with souls. At this point, he paused, and then continued: "Actually, you're not the only one whose memories have been erased. It was an attack that would reach at least half a universe or even larger. Not many people knew about Infinity Stones. As far as I can tell, there will be no more than 10 people who can still have the concept of 'Infinity Stones' in their minds after the fact. And since even you, the god-king of Asgard, and the former Odin don't have this concept anymore, I think we should lower the expectation a little more, and change 10 to 5. ”

"Infinity Stones?"

Loki didn't expect that the Cosmic Cube and the scepter could be involved in such twists and turns. And as soon as he said that word, he couldn't help but exhale in pain. It was a pain that hit the brain for no reason.

Is it Brain? No......

"Looks like you feel it." Thanos looked at Loki with a teasing expression, "At the time of the incident, I also felt the fluctuation, but I was not affected. And I told a few of my cronies about it afterwards, and they felt the same pain as you when they said that word. Judging by the symptoms, it was a curse that acted on the soul. So, keep that word in your own head and don't say it – when you're not strong enough! ”

It's a bit of a threat again. Loki had just recovered from a shock and decided to ignore the verbal threat.

"Well, Infinity Stones...... Yes! "Knowing that he would be hit hard again, Loki showed his tough side." I got it. Will use such a powerful curse to keep it secret, the Cosmic Cube and the scepter...... This kind of thing will certainly not be simple. And you're collecting them -- you can tell me what the hell they can do. ”

Thanos, who was still watching Loki's embarrassment, gradually retracted the smile on his face.

"I'll tell you, there are six Infinity Stones. As for the rest, you don't need to know. ”

"And how many do you have?"

Loki subconsciously asked, and Thanos responded with a fierce look that made people chill in his heart. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"I'll try to do it. But you'd better get what I want as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that Loki was no longer asking questions, Thanos's expression softened a lot.

"I've got a clue on my side." He said in a teasing tone, "I've found a bunch of guys related to what you want. They divide the universe into sections, and each section sends only one person to protect the entire universe, and I can't find any words to describe it except 'naïve'. Rest assured, my men are ready to engage them. ”
